Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Ground Flora on Large Domains Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Model
(Landscape Ecology, 2003)
Accomodation of important sources of uncertainty in ecological models is essential to realistically predicting ecological processes. The purpose of this project is to develop a robust methodology for modeling natural ...
Resolving space-time strain paths of the Panamint and Cottonwood Mountains, eastern California, through bedrock thermochronology and detrital geochronology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
ages are similar to AHe ages from the Inyo Mountains (2.8 [plus-minus] 0.7 Ma; Lee et al., 2009) that have been interpreted as reflecting the timing of initiation of the Hunter Mountain fault. Together, the new and the published data show a complex...
Mizzou, volume 103, number 4 (2015 Summer)
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2015)
Recommended chemical soil test procedures for the north central region (2011)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2011)
Dipstick urinalysis for the diagnosis of acute UTI
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2013)
Approximately two-thirds of women who present with classic symptoms of acute UTI have bacterial infection of the bladder. Dipstick urinalysis moderately improves the accuracy of clinical symptoms in establishing or excluding ...
Effect of plagioclase crystallization on liquid and magma viscosity in the Anorthite-diopside-dorsterite-quartz system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
SiO2 (CMAS) glasses were synthesized as analogs for dacitic and basaltic lavas. Liquid viscosities were measured between 101 and 1013 Pa s, over the temperature range of approximately 1600 to 700⁰C, using concentric cylinder ...
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 ...
Occupancy modeling of forest carnivores in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
My research used infrared remote cameras, trackplate boxes, and scat transects to survey for carnivores at 53 sites throughout the southern forested region of Missouri. Cameras and track-plates both detected Eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers who exhibited a systematic...
The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Composition of soybean seeds is important to manufacturers of tofu and natto food products. The effect of environment on seed composition of tofu and natto soybean cultivars was measured in Missouri in 2004 and 2005. The environment was altered...
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...
Graduates' and employers' perceptions of entry-level employability skills needed by Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources graduates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR) at the University of Missouri-Columbia and their immediate supervisors. Both graduates and supervisors perceived problem solving to be the employability skill most in need of curricular enhancement...
Overstory density and its effect on oak regeneration abundance and oak understory height growth in the Missouri Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study examined how overstory density affects regeneration abundance and understory height growth in the Missouri Ozark Highlands. Data were collected on three different treatment types, no harvest management, uneven-aged management, and even...
Igneous intrusions and thermal evolution in the Raton Basin, CO-NM: contact metamorphism and coal-bed methane generation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Tertiary mafic dikes and sills intrude coal-bearing formations of the Raton Basin. This study investigates the role of intrusions in generating methane from coal. Coal samples at four different outcrops were analyzed by ...
Changes in stable carbon isotopes of methane along a salinity gradient in a hypersaline microbial mat system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to examine how the stable carbon isotopes of methane and possible methanogenic substrates change in microbial mat communities as a function of salinity. Microbial mats were sampled from four ...
The spider in the web: the weaving of a new, Lancastrian England in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries
(2013)
In late-fourteenth century England, the third surviving son of King Edward III,
John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancaster, became obsessed with gaining control of the nation
and establishing a Lancastrian legacy that would one ...
Entrained Air-Void System For Durable Highway Concrete
(2020)
In the US, the most commonly used F-T test method is AASHTO T 161 “A.” The equipment for variant A of the test is relatively low cost (~$22, 000) and compact. The relatively low cost stems from the basic construction of a ...
Three dimensional reconstruction of plant roots via low energy x-ray computed tomography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
.775. Experimental results show that the proposed root enhancement methods are robust to the number of orientational filters chosen, and are sensitive to the filter length selected. Small size filters are preferred, since increasing the filter length increases...
