A Matter of Life and Death : "Reading" a Funerary Relief
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2009)
"Funerary monuments from the eastern Roman Empire are both numerous and varied. The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the university of Missouri has a particularly interesting one -- a relief that commemorates a woman named Levitha, who lived...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is generally accepted in geotechnical engineering that non-cohesive materials such as sands exhibit no or negligible tensile strength. However, there is significant evidence that interparticle forces arising from capillary ...
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...
Geostatistical integration of core and well log data for high-resolution reservoir modeling
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-01)
-plug porosity data was generated from well-log data with random number generation. The GS model requires basic histograms and variogram models for scaling the computerized tomography (CT) plug data to well log scale as well as integrating the data in a...
The crustal structure of Southwestern Turkey using local seismic data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
at an angle of approximately 60 degrees to the west and extends to 157 km. The Gediz, Buyuk Menderes, and Gokova grabens are among the major geological structures in southwestern Turkey. The relocated earthquakes in the region are concentrated in the Gokova...
Northern bobwhite brood ecology and population dynamics in southwest Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) have experienced widespread, long-term population declines. Bobwhite populations in Missouri have declined 2.7% annually between 1966 and 2015, and 3.5% annually between 2005 and 2015, for a cumulative loss...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), ...
Using the monthly classification of global SSTs and 500 HPA height to predict temperature and precipitation regimes one to two season in advance for the Mid-Mississippi Region
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
Using the results from previous studies of the interannual variability of local mean monthly temperature and precipitation by this group, long range forecasts were generated for summer and winter season temperatures and ...
Late Holocene Stratigraphic History of the Gulf of Aqaba Coastal Plain, Jordan
(2020)
Construction of the lower tidal lagoon at the Ayla Oasis Development in Aqaba, Jordan provided a unique opportunity to study the 3-D architecture of coastal plain sediment of the northern Gulf of Aqaba. Previous studies ...
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...
Characterization of "t-z" model design parameters for augered cast-in-place piles using field load test data
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-24)
on developing “t-z� model parameters from analysis of static axial compression and tension load test data from a project site along the Missouri River floodplain in northwest Missouri. Data was collected from a total of twelve axial load tests (six...
Pre-harvest water quality of ephemeral streams in Missouri Ozark forests
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) developed a best management practice that leaves a riparian buffer next to streams to reduce the possibility of water quality degradation. The purpose of this study is to quantify water quality in upland...
Effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and rhenium
(2013)
The effects of pressure and temperature on the yield strength of tantalum and
the effects of pressure on the yield strength of rhenium were investigated using ruby
fluorescence. A new Raman system with a motorized stage ...
Use of main channel and shallow-water habitat by larval fishes in the lower Missouri River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
I developed a series of research objectives organized in a spatial hierarchy to characterize larval fish nursery habitat within the lower Missouri River. Native carpsucker spp./buffalo spp. (Carpiodes spp./Ictiobus spp.) and chub spp. (Macrhybopsis...
Mizzou, volume 100, number 4 (2012 Summer)
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2012)
Utilizing unoccupied aerial systems and artificial intelligence for monitoring nonbreeding waterfowl abundance in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
aerial survey techniques that are less disturbing to waterfowl, but there is limited information on how waterfowl in winter respond to UAS. Therefore, we compared the behavioral responses of waterfowl to helicopters and UAS on Missouri Department...
Effects of amending a gravel based growing medium with calcined clay on medium physical properties and growth of Gymnocladus dioicus seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...
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 ...
