Studies in crop byproduct literature have looked more at the nutrient impacts, rather than analytical cost implications of crop byproducts in livestock feed rations. Thin market studies stated the lack of product volume and player count in a market...
Parametric Soil-Structure Modeling for Rapid Climatic Disaster Response
(2014-09-30)
Global climate changes have seemly caused acerbating impacts on coastal
environments in terms of severe meteorological hazards, such as hurricanes and their
induced storm surges, flooding, and heavy precipitation. Recent ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
by the increase in the number of observations from the area around Siberia. The connection to the PDO, which is still a relatively new phenomena in meteorology need additional study. The connection between blocking and the PDO can have wide impacts in forecasting....
Impacts of Precipitation, Land use Land cover and Soil type on the Water Balance of Lake Chad Basin
(2013)
Lake Chad Basin (LCB) has experienced drastic changes in land cover and poor water management practices during the last 50 years. The successive droughts in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in a decrease in surface water and ...
Glyphosate resistance : pollen movement within a common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia L.) population and herbicide release from common waterhemp (Amaranthus rudis sauer) plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Common ragweed and Common waterhemp are native, summer annual weeds distributed widely throughout the United States. Both weed species have developed resistance to the broad-spectrum herbicide glyphosate. Research was ...
Quantifying neonicotinoid concentrations in Missouri wetlands, their driving factors, and the potential effects on the reliant avian community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
been proposed as indicator taxa as they are reliant on insect food reserves and have recently experienced population declines. Thus, we developed two studies in floodplain wetlands to quantify neonicotinoids in Missouri wetlands and potential effects...
Watershed-level Analysis of Urban Raingarden Performance
(2013)
Urban flooding became to be a big issue for many cities in the world due to the urbanization. Best Management Practices (BMP) are considered to be an economically friendly solution for the urban storm water problem.
The ...
Influence of site conditions on near-field effects in multi-channel surface wave measurements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
using multi-channel arrays. A recent criteria developed by Yoon and Rix (2009) for multi-channel measurements suggested that the normalized array center (NAC) distance (i.e. the number of wavelengths between the source and array center) should be 2...
Job satisfaction of Missouri high school principals as measured by the Minnesota satisfaction questionnaire
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
There is a lack of information regarding job satisfaction among high school principals in the state of Missouri. For this study, 108 high school principals in the state of Missouri responded to an internet survey using the Minnesota Satisfaction...
A case study of the analysis of factors that occur with reading proficiency in one rural district in southeast Missouri
