Resource selection by black-footed ferrets in relation to the spatial distribution of prairie dogs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Once extinct in the wild, the black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) is one of the rarest mammals in North America. Reintroductions of ferrets at 13 sites over 10 years have resulted in only 3 self-sustaining populations. ...
Simulating the effects of riparian zone delineation and management practices on landscape pattern and timber production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
to erosion or pollutant discharge. Analyzing the effects of different buffering scenarios upon landscape pattern and timber volume provides forest managers with better tools for deciding the best action to take in balancing timber harvest with the biological...
Some Fusaria found on the cowpea, watermelon and carnation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
Text from page 1: The economic importance of the Fusarium problem affords a sufficient reason for the study of this genus of fungi. Various wilts, rots and blights are caused by parasitic and saprophytic Fusaria. It is ...
Developing a stand density module in LANDIS to improve simulation realism of stand dynamics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Long-term landscape modeling is dependent on various forest dynamics including large-scale disturbances, environmental effects, land management and stand-scale succession. The stand density module was designed for LANDIS ...
Pluton source varition over two magmatic pulses in the white-inyo range, central-eastern California : implications for paleozoic and mesozoic tectonic reconstructions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This dissertation uses compositions of plutons in the White-Inyo Range (WIR) of central-eastern California, which is an important tectonic boundary as it is the easternmost...
Diversity and evolution of the sauropsid trigeminal sensory system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Understanding the evolution of sensory perception is essential in explaining organismal behavior. Organisms using environmental stimuli to navigate their environments, avoid predation, capture prey, and find a mate, have ...
Using a vertical integration of Doppler-derived divergence to assess thunderstorm updraft/downdraft characteristics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Analyses of thunderstorm updraft and downdraft characteristics, such as magnitude and size, can reveal essential information pertaining to the strength of the thunderstorm itself. Such information can aid in assessing the ...
Adjusting organizational structure for cooperative longevity : Missouri farmers association, 1920 - 1950
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The objective of this qualitative exploratory study is to analyze the process which led Missouri Farmer Association (MFA) to dramatically change its organizational structure...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Interfacial characteristics of two-phase flows were studied through visualization experiments and numerical simulation using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based on the volume-of-fluid (VOF)-continuum surface force (CSF) method...
Developing and establishing the reliability and validity of the teacher perceptions of school culture survey (TPSC)
