(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Distance education has the unique characteristic of using technologies as the primary means of delivery of instruction and interaction. The present study contributes to research dedicated to explaining or predicting phenomena related to distance...
Drainage water management practices affect water quality, soil properties, and crop production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
. This dissertation includes results from four studies conducted at the MU Greenley Research Center, Grace Greeley farm, and Ross Jones farm. Long-term, no-till research evaluated the influence of a wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), radish (Raphanus raphanistrum subsp...
Influence of entomopathogenic fungi from forest and urban habitats on founding pairs of reticulitermes flavipes (rhinotermitidae)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
termite colonies survive fungal invasions. This research focused on founding pairs of primary reproductives when colonies are smallest and there are only two termites. Because most termite colonies invading newer homes in Missouri are started...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
properties of a corn (Zea mays L.) cropping system. The study was conducted at the Elsberry Plant Material Center - USDA, Missouri, USA, with 1) no-till cover crop (NC), 2) conventional till no cover crop (CN), and 3) no-till no cover crop (NN) treatments. A...
The Impact of Climate Variability and Land Cover Change on Groundwater Resources in The Niger River Basin
(2021)
from 2001-2013, the precipitation increased during the dry season by about 3%, but no significant change was observed during the wet season. The change in the LULC increased substantially in the areas dominated by agriculture, forests, and shrubs...
Polyacrylamide amendment for erosion and runoff control on soils of differing characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The use of anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) as a soil amendment is an emerging conservation practice. However, guidelines have not been developed with considerations of soil properties and topographic characteristics. The ...
Body size and shape in insular environments and applications of the island rule in biological anthropology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The discovery of small-bodied hominin fossils in 2004 on the island of Flores, Indonesia, unearthed a large debate within biological anthropology. This debate has exemplified that there are questions and research areas that biological...

for greatest understanding of population level processes and to inform prioritization of conservation efforts for Atlantic brant. Future brant research should focus on nutrient dynamics of James Bay staging areas, identifying core breeding areas and quantifying...
Yeast mutants containing elevated methionine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)
Yeasts are deficient in methionine which restricts the nutritive value of the protein. The objective of this research was to produce a methionine-rich mutant. Mutants of Candida tropical is ATCC 1369, Candida tropica!is ATCC 9968, Candida util...
