of docking stations and repositioning of drones to enhance the efficacy of delivery operations. In particular, such stations are used for drone docking before and after delivery operations to avoid both loading all required drones to the truck at the depot...
Quantifying riparian canopy energy attenuation and stream temperature using an energy balance approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
of the central U.S. Hydroclimate data were collected from two intensively instrumented stream reaches of opposite orthogonal compass orientation in a semi-karst watershed on the border of southern Missouri's Ozark region, USA, during the 2010 water year. Data...
River restoration in the upper Mississippi River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
River restoration has become an important management choice to address causes and effects of surface water impairment and river modification in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). I report information on individual UMRB river restoration...
The portfolio problem in agricultural cooperatives: an integrated framework
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
A portfolio problem within agricultural cooperatives arises as a result of the traditional cooperative's property rights structure. As members' investment is tied to patronage, this traditional structure prevents them from adjusting cooperative...
Highway impacts on Ozark incomes and employment

Introduction and problem review: Confronted by depressed economic and social conditions of extensive regions within the United States, the Federal Government through its various agencies is waging "war on poverty." Many ...
The effect of calcium carbonate of certain soil constituents and on plant growth
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1915)
of Problem": It is the purpose of this investigation to secure data on the effects of adding calcium carbonate in the form of ground limestone to types of soils of common occurrence in the state of Missouri. These effects were studied in crop yields, in per...
The control of San Jose scale and the profitable rejuvenation of neglected orchards by spraying
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 1: The San Jose scale is the most serious insect pest of the Missouri orchards. It is capable of killing young fruit trees in two or three years and old trees become unprofitable and succumb to the attack in a few years if unsprayed...

Influence of herbicides application on weed and tall fescue management and grazing distribution in Missouri pastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
One weed that is of concern in Missouri pastures that can be detrimental is Northern dewberry (Rubus flagellaris Willd.). This weed can be detrimental due its production of spines which can injure grazing animals and also humans. Results from our...
Effects of low crude protein diets with amino acid supplementation on broiler performance in the starter period
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A series of experiments were conducted to examine the effects of feeding low crude protein (CP) corn and soybean meal diets with crystalline amino acid supplementation to broilers from 0-3 weeks of age. It was hypothesized that these diets would...
