Genetic mapping of soybean cyst nematode resistance and evaluation of resistant germplasm in soybean and pennycress
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
A single mode of genetic resistance derived from PI 88788 (rhg1-b) has dominated the $57.5 B US soybean market for almost three decades. The breakdown of resistance and selection of virulent nematode populations poses a ...
Monitoring of an urban level spreader as part of the collaborative adaptive management process
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Irregular flows, such as the high flows caused by stormwater runoff after a rain event are a major cause of stream impairment in urbanized watersheds. The Hinkson Creek CAM (Collaborative Adaptive Management) approach is ...
Strategies for colloidal metal nanocrystal synthesis in deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Noble-metal nanocrystals have a wide range of applications in a variety of areas, including catalysis, electronics, optical sensing, and biomedicine. Despite the fast-growing number of reports on synthetic techniques for ...
Middle and late woodland period cultural transmission, residential mobility, and aggregation in the deep South
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This research attempts to reconstruct the extent of prehistoric human interaction within the lower Chattahoochee-Apalachicola River valley and neighboring Gulf Coast for the period spanning 200 B.C. to A.D. 1000. Using ...
Knowledge construction, social identity and social network structure in completely online groups
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
. This mixed methods study examines the development of eight completely online groups in a CSCL course held at the University of Missouri during the summer of 2008. The principal contribution of this work is a new and deeper understanding of completely online...
Virus interactions with the sphingolipid network : sphingosine kinase 2 in immunosuppression, immunopathology, and viral propagation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid molecule known to regulate diverse cellular functions. S1P is metabolized by the sphingosine kinases (SphK) and S1P lyase (SPL). However, little is known about the role ...
Measuring and comparing the spatiotemporal evolution of accident hot spots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
One reality of transportation systems is that vehicular accidents can happen practically anywhere and at any time. An increasing body of research suggests though that spatial and/or temporal dependencies (i.e., clusters ...
The culture wars & political polarization in perspective : why polarization and its perturbations are a persistant [i.e., persistent] puzzle in political science
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Political polarization in the American electorate has received a great deal of attention in recent years with most of the research focusing on social issues and their impact on electoral outcomes. However, scant attention ...
Development and validation of standardized sampling protocols for assessing freshwater mussel populations in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
step in assessing populations. We surveyed 14 sites in the Meramec River Basin in East-central Missouri to determine the effectiveness of visual sampling methods and to determine the effects of habitat variability on the effectiveness of these methods...
