The purpose of the study was to examine the interaction of fish oil and exercise in attenuating PPL after a high fat meal and inflammation induced by exercise. Previously sedentary subjects were randomly assigned to one ...

Water samples from ephemeral streams and associated hillsides are being collected to quantitatively determine the impact of Regenerative Oak Clear Cutting (ROCC) on water quality and sediment and nutrient transport in ...

Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish ...

The objective of this study was to determine relationships among weather, runoff, water quality, and best management practice (BMP) implementation in reducing atrazine losses in the 7,250-ha Goodwater Creek Experimental ...

The MoDOT radio communication tower network was created in the 1950s and 1960s. There is a need to assess the condition of the towers in the network and also to determine if they are up to date with current codes. A condition ...

It is desired to find a trajectory for a spacecraft that will capture into an orbit about Jupiter and then subsequently capture into an orbit about each of the Galilean moons. The two main variables are the mass ratio, ...

Most agriculture teachers do not feel competent when working with students with special needs (Elbert & Baggett, 2003). The purpose of this study was to examine and explain the variance in the self-perceived success of ...

A mathematical model describing the oscillation characteristics of slug flow in a capillary tube is presented. The model considers the vapor bubble as the gas spring for the oscillating motions in a capillary tube including ...

These experiments examined the effect of manipulating context associative strength on conditioned responding to a conditioned stimulus using a conditioned taste aversion procedure. In Experiments 1and 3, subjects were given ...

This study investigated how the embedding program used by the American military during the second Persian Gulf War affected the coverage of six print reporters who participated in it. This qualitative study analyzed eight ...

Five Populus clones in two short rotation 5 year plantations were tested for biomass production and associated soil C changes in the central Missouri floodplain under climatic conditions of the Midwest. A Populus deltoides ...

The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) developed a best management practice that leaves a riparian buffer next to streams to reduce the possibility of water quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to ...

As the Hispanic population in the United States tops 40 million people, it is important to look at ways in which American and Latino cultures compare and interact. More than any other U.S. immigrant group, Hispanics rely ...

Nitrogen (N) fertilizer unused by the crop is left to the fate of the processes of the N cycle, and can eventually lead to nitrate contamination of surface and ground waters. In order to address this problem, various methods ...

The Acts of Pilate, preserved today in two Greek versions, a Latin version, a Coptic, an Armenian, and an Old Slavic version, is regarded as one of the most popular and widely circulated apocrypha from late antiquity and ...

A novel algorithm for image interpolation, referred to as adaptive bilateral extensor interpolation, is proposed in this thesis. It combines useful features of an extensor based algorithm, utilizing a non-linear mapping ...

Although heavy drinking among fraternity and sorority members is well documented, it is less clear whether the Greek environment facilitates heavy drinking or whether heavy drinkers select into Greek environments. Moreover, ...

An experimental investigation was conducted of oscillating heat pipes (OHP) charged with diamond nanofluid. By combining the high thermal conductivity of nanofluids with the high heat transport rate of OHPs, a new type of ...

Irrigating soybean prior to an extensive rain can result in waterlogged soil that may cause root damage and plant death. Some soybean cultivars tolerate waterlogged soils. The objective of this study was to evaluate tolerance ...

Mycoplasma bovis is a bacterial pathogen that has been shown to cause respiratory disease, mastitis, polyarthritis, keratoconjunctivitis, and other diseases in cattle worldwide. High costs associated with these diseases ...
