The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Agriculturally produced ethanol, a renewable resource, may be reformed noncatalytically into hydrogen by a novel process utilizing supercritical water, which acts synergistically both as a solvent and as a reactant. By utilizing supercritical water...
The most favorable temperatures for the cooking of some typical foods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)

Heterogeneity in body condition, survival, and seasonal origins among lesser snow and Ross's geese
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
condition among hunter harvested individuals and the general population of midcontinent lesser snow and Ross's geese during the spring Light Goose Conservation Order in 2015 and 2016 across Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota. I found a body...
Ferns as a forest farming crop: effects of light levels on growth and frond quality of selected speicies with potential in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In Missouri 11.3 million acres of commercial forests are privately owned. The vast majority is under very little - if any - management. Agroforestry, specifically forest farming, has the potential to provide producers an opportunity to put...
