, and PI522226). Field tests were conducted in Albany, Columbia, Novelty and Rock Port, Missouri for two years, 2016 and 2017, in an augmented incomplete block design with one replication in 2016 and two replications in 2017. The nested association mapping...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
Assessing costs and environmental impacts of municipal food waste treatment options in Columbia, Missouri : a decision support tool integrating life cycle analysis and robust optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
and targets, decisionmakers need data-driven analysis to understand both the costs and environmental impacts of their plans. This study develops a decision support tool applied in Columbia, Missouri, USA, with aims to model the economic and environmental...

A comparison of forest change detection methods and implications for forest management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
technique used extensively in the eastern United States for forest change detection. This project tested the usefulness of this easy and inexpensive technique by applying it to the Missouri Ozark forest landscape in order to detect changes in forest biomass...
Three essays on the competitiveness of the US corn seed industry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation provides an analysis of various aspects of the competitivity of the US corn seed industry. In the first essay I develop a price depend model of seed demand...
Social indicators of efficiency and equity convergence in four distressed regions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
the situations in objective (ii) above; iv) to test the adequacy of these variables as social indicators with empirical data; and v) to suggest social indicators to monitor policy impacts and guide decisions. The organization of this study follows the order...
Assessment of Seismic Hazards along the Northern Gulf of Aqaba
(2014-09-26)
zones, and several transverse faults. The integration of offshore and onshore data confirm the extension of these faults along both sides of the Gulf of Aqaba. A 3D model of GPR data at one site in Aqaba indicates that the NW-trending transverse faults...
Behavioral assessment of mouse models of neurodegenerative disorders [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs) are a family of progressive hereditary neurodegenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of lysosomal storage bodies, cognitive decline, loss of motor function and premature ...
Developing an implantable optical glucose sensor for monitoring glucose concentration [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Optical biological sensors are becoming very popular for use in detecting many different kinds of analytes of interest for medical diagnostics. There are optical sensors available today to detect many things from blood ...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"There is an increasing emphasis on management strategies such as reduced tillage, use of cover crops, and implementation of conservation practices (i.e. terraces, no-till, and cropping systems) in Missouri cropping systems. By combining best...

New perspective on the role of conceptus estrogens in conceptus development, maternal recognition, and the establishment of pregnancy in pigs.
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The proposed signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy in pigs is estrogen, produced by the elongating conceptus. To understand the role of estrogen in porcine conceptus elongation and pregnancy establishment, a loss ...
Computational methods to identify ionomic candidate genes in plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
, this method: 1) finds more candidate genes than we expect from random chance, 2) selects and prioritizes candidates in poorly annotated species, and 3) includes unknown genes in the results. We used this approach with comparable seed weight GWAS...
