Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
collected from the vegetation treatments at six sites with radiolabeled (14C) ICD. For the column experiments, soils from the three vegetation treatments collected at one site were packed into individual glass columns and water flow was characterized...
Investigations of rural conditions in Boone County, Missouri, as related to the county farm adviser
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1916)
of this paper, in so far as possible with the limited data at hand, is to learn what we can of the economic and social conditions of Boone County, Missouri, from the viewpoint of Farm Advisers just beginning work, to locate and consider a few of the farm...
The viscosity of dacitic liquids measured at conditions relevant to explosive arc volcanism: determing the influence of temperature, silicate composition, and dissolved volatile content
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
.%. The viscosity was measured using parallel plate and concentric cylinder viscometry. TVF equations, of the form log [eta] = A + B/(T-C), allow prediction of hydrous liquid viscosities at magmatic temperatures. At 1100K, liquids containing 1 and 5 wt.% dissolved...
Growth of Semiconductor Thin Films by Pulsed Laser Deposition
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
Pulsed ultraviolet light from a XeF excimer laser was used to grow thin films of
zinc oxide and tin dioxide on (111) p-type silicon wafers within a versatile high
vacuum laser deposition system. This pulsed laser deposition ...
Quantification of cell attachment on different materials as candidate electrodes for measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A high throughput lab-on-a-chip device is being developed for single cell capture for the purpose of high time resolution quantal exocytosis measurement with high probability of cell docking. This device makes use of DLC ...
Factors influencing income and production efficiency on Missouri dairy farms, 1955 and 1956
(University of Missouri., 1958)
"The purpose of this project is to study the competitive position of Missouri dairy farms using business records of dairy farmers in order to determine the cost of producing milk on farms of different sizes (economic of scale), and the relationship...
Biogeochemistry and inorganic geochemistry as indicators of the paleoenvironment and paleohydrology of the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan
(2013)
This study investigates the biogeochemical and inorganic geochemical
indicators for past environments and paleohydrology of a high resolution sediment record
from the Al-Azraq Basin, Jordan. The second largest basin in ...
The use of silage to counteract the effect of cottonseed meal on the composition and market qualities of butter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1917)
Text from page 58: In general, this experiment shows that very slight effects on the composition of butter result from feeding cottonseed meal with a liberal ration of silage; and that larger changes in the fat constants ...
The effects of volatiles on the viscosity and heat capacity of calc-alkaline basaltic and basaltic andesite liquids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Calc-alkaline basaltic magmas are volumetrically important at continental and island volcanic arcs, yet their thermal and physical properties are poorly described. These basaltic magmas are characteristically hydrous, and ...
Fluid inclusion evidence for the nature of fluids associated with recrystallization of quartzites in the EJB contact Aureole, California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
- carbonic inclusions with an aqueous liquid phase and a vapor bubble with a double meniscus of CO2 fluid and vapor. Type III inclusions have an aqueous - hydrogen sulfide liquid and a single - phase CO₂ - CH₄ vapor. Isochores were developed using LA - ICP...
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...
Geochronologic and thermochronologic constraints on the Mesozoic to Cenozoic deformation history of southeastern California
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Southeastern California hosts a complex zone of deformation defined by structures related to the San Andreas fault, such as the sinistral Garlock fault and the largely dextral eastern California shear zone, as well as ...
Sex variability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The question of variation has long been of interest to scientists. Since the time of Darwin we find investigators endeavoring to determine which sex is the more variable. In a well known controversy on this subject between ...
Effects of forest fragmentation on reproductive effort and productivity of Indigo buntings (Passerina cyanea)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
and offspring quality, I measured maternal condition and reproductive output of Indigo Buntings breeding in a fragmented and a contiguously forested landscape in Missouri. Renesting females had lower body condition than those that nested once successfully...
Milk supply response in Greater Kansas City marketing area
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1964)
The growth of the dairy industry has been an important factor in the agricultural development of the United States. Missouri has shared in this development. The sale of dairy products has contributed nine to thirteen percent of the total income from...
System modeling and control design of a two-stage metering poppet-valve system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The goal of this work is to develop mathematical models, stability criteria, and control designs for a two-stage poppet valve system with a simple back-side pipeline condition that may be used in a valve stack to create ...
Three essays on monetary and financial economics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This three-chapter dissertation focuses on the research topics in Monetary and Financial Economics. The first paper examines the time-varying impact of U.S. monetary policy...
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 ...
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 ...
