Flow and heat transfer properties of Mono Craters rhyolites : effects of temperature, water content, and crystallinity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The nature of volcanic processes, including rate of magma ascent, exsolution of volatiles, eruption style, and flow distance, is highly dependent on the viscosity of the associated magma and its ability to transfer heat. ...
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...
Detection and modeling of bat species occupancy at multiple scales across a forested landscape in southeastern Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Populations of forest dwelling bats have been in decline in recent years, and have therefore become increasing foci in forestry research efforts. Difficulty in bat species...
Design and implementation of a portable prTorrent simulator system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The absence of a system that could perform as both a P2P simulator and a P2P emulator poses a barrier to researchers and developers. The objective of this thesis is to build a...
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...
Going off the rails: exploring the impact of the railroad on the development of musical culture in Kansas City, Missouri (1869-1905)
(2021)
Kansas City, Missouri, is a musical oasis in the United States. In addition to being considered one of the four original jazz centers, local audiences also enthusiastically welcome art music and experimental music of all kinds. This deep...
The perceived importance and gender differences in Missouri public high school assistant principalship duty delegation for promotion preparation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of the duties commonly delegated to high school assistant principals which are perceived by building level principals to be the most important and least important ...
Gene-environment interaction in alcohol problems in emerging and young adulthood : the DRD4 VNTR, DAT1 VNTR, and 5-HTTLPR polymorphisms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Alcohol problems at different developmental stages are associated with different genetic and environmental factors. Taking a developmentally sensitive approach, the current study characterized interaction effects between ...
Economic analysis of woody biomass harvesting in the Missouri Ozarks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
An integrated mechanized timber harvest thinning treatment to remove small diameter trees and merchantable saw logs was conducted on 30 acres of the Missouri, Ozarks in the summer of 2009. Two silvicultural treatments (single tree selection...
Mesoporous iron oxide energetic composites with slow burn rate, sustained pressure and reduced ESD sensitivity for propellant applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this thesis is to synthesize a slow burning nanoenergetic formulation of mesoporous iron oxide with sustainable pressure characteristics and reduced electrostatic discharge ignition sensitivity. The choice ...
Mizzou, volume 103, number 4 (2015 Summer)
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2015)
Evaluation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolite assays for short-term stressors and validation for stress monitoring in African herbivores
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
During stressful periods, glucocorticoid production is increased. Glucocorticoid metabolites are found in blood, urine and feces. Our first goal was to determine if fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) measurements are a ...
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...
Entrainment and transport of coarse stream bed material in a fluviokarst watershed, south-central Missouri : a tracer particle study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Plateau of south-central Missouri, and Bear Cave Hollow (BCH), one of TCC's surface drainage streams, bed load entrainment and transport dynamics of mainly siliciclastic material, was evaluated using hydrological measurements and 670 painted tracer...
The seasonal occurrence, soil distribution and flight characteristics of Curculio sayi (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in mid-Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
for this species of chestnut weevil. Emergence patterns were consistent over the three years of this study, with the largest numbers of adults appearing in May and September each year. Underground study results indicate a minimum of 15 months in larval diapause...
Importance of agritourism for agripreneur goal accomplishment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
associated with the importance of agritourism in accomplishment within four goal dimensions via descriptive-relational survey research. Agritourism farms in Missouri are in the business of agricultural production, rather than maintaining their land...
