Radiotracers for examining biological functions of plants and microbes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Tracers are used for qualitative and quantitative investigation of a system. Radiotracers have a radionuclide to observe chemical or biological processes by detection of the radionuclide's decay energy. They are non-disruptive ...
Data combining using mixtures of g-priors with application on county-level female breast cancer prevalence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
scenarios in terms of the theoretical properties including biases, frequentist variances, and mean squared errors. In the first project, data combining of linear models with the classical mixtures of g-priors is investigated. We calculate and compare...
Social capital and membership in dairy cooperatives in Kenya
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Dairy cooperatives in Kenya have been promoted for over 50 years as an important mechanism for providing collective bargaining power for the rural poor (Dobrin, 1970; Musalia, et al, 2007). The cooperative business model ...
Modeling the influence of climate and management practices on water quality in Goodwater Creek experimental watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
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 Watershed in NE Missouri...

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 content analytic comparison of news frames in English- and Spanish-language newspapers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
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 ...
The underlying genetic control of maize root system architecture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Maize (Zea mays ssp. mays) is one of the most widely cultivated and highest yielding grain crops in the world. The genetic and phenotypic diversity of maize facilitate its use...
A quarterly econometric model of the United States beef sector
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)
The United States beef sector has been modeled in many studies, perhaps, because beef represents a large proportion of the consumer food dollar and agriculture’s income. The predictive performance of these models has been, however, quite...
Milk substitutes, powdered skimmilk for raising calves
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from introduction: This thesis is a discussion, from the standpoint of our present knowledge of the fundamental principles of animal nutrition, of the possibility of raising calves on "milk substitutes". The experimental ...

LC-MS/MS method development for quantitative analysis of cyanogenic glycosides in elderberry and lipid peroxidation products in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
of AE cultivars studied ranged from between 0.12-6.38 [micro-gram]/g. In pressed juice samples, the concentration range measured was 0.29-2.36 [micro-gram]/mL and in seeds the amounts was 0.12-2.38 [micro-gram]/g. TCP was highest in the stems and green...
Hormonal and genetic control of leaf and vein development in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Grasses (Poaceae) have successfully colonized diverse terrestrial ecosystems and impacted human civilization by producing the bulk of world food supply. The grass leaf is distinct for having a sheathing base and strap-like ...

Development and application of vegetative buffer width modeling using geographic information systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
of performance could potentially require wider or narrower buffer widths in order to meet certain stormwater management criteria. This method was successfully demonstrated within the LaBarque Creek watershed located southwest of St. Louis, Missouri for three...
Single and multi-object video tracking using local and deep architectures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Moving object tracking is a fundamental computer vision task with a wide variety of real-life applications ranging from surveillance and autonomous systems to biomedical video analysis. A robust, accurate, scalable, and ...
