Prescribed fire is used in Missouri to achieve various silvicultural goals, but the use of burning in upland Ozark forests raises many questions that research has yet to answer. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of prescribed...
Biomineralizers from the proterozoic to today : assessing taxonomy and paleoecology through the lens of taphonomy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The onset of metazoan predation is presumed to have triggered an evolutionary arms race of prey defenses, including the advent of biomineralization. Escalating biological...
On the ability of rocks to conduct heat in the Lithosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This work focuses on creating a model for the conductive thermal transport properties of rocks using measured thermal diffusivity (D) with the Laser Flash Analysis (LFA) method, which eliminates common errors associated ...

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The increasing use and availability of micro and nanoparticles for use in science, technology and daily consumer products has led to unique challenges related to understanding...
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...
