Mineralogical and chemical studies of the Putnam silt loam soil
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1944)
Effective soil water potential for a steady, radial-axial flow system
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1990)
The log in my eye : awareness, acceptance, and correction of partisan political bias
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
asked people how acceptable they believe it is to make a judgment influenced by irrelevant political information. Study 1 asked participants to make a series of judgments, some more subjective (evaluating quotes) and others more objective (assessing...
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 ...
Director ties, board experience, and firm strategic outcomes : board experience effects on post-acquisition performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of the entire assets of target firms. Results generally do not support the notion that acquiring firms benefit through positive post-acquisition performance from the past experience of their outside directors. However, significant results with respect to board...
Selection of small pretargeting peptides with affinity for radiochelates and separation and purification of radiolanthanides
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
The first objective of this dissertation was to develop metallated chelates with Michael acceptor groups for selecting small peptides from a random phage display library (RPL). The selection is for cysteine bearing peptides, ...
Three essays on dividend and payout policy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation contains 3 essays on dividend/payout policy. In the first essay, using a sample of 76,129 firm-years from 32 countries, I show that both the probability...
Evaluation of modified montmorillonites in poultry diets
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The present work was conducted to determine if modification of MONTs with Cu and Zn would enhance the protection of broiler chicks against the adverse effects of AF, and to determine if the modified MONTs would be bioavailable ...
Expectancy, perceived benefit and perceived cost of new technology : scale development in the context of Chinese textile and apparel firm mangers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The textile and apparel industry have been fundamentally changed due to technology development. However, developing countries are falling behind for adopting new technologies, such as China. To explore factors that may ...
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 ...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
of studies of the Lewis acid-base pair F3B[arrow]PH3 illustrate in a beautiful fashion what can go wrong when expertalists interpret their data based on inaccurate theory and when computational chemists do not seek consistency with existing experimental data...
Forest resources and industries of Missouri
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1949)
Bayesian spatial data analysis with application to the Missouri Ozark forest ecosystem project
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
of Bayesian estimators under several invariant loss functions. In the second part, we first propose an efficient algorithm for Bayesian spatial analysis via the generalized Ratio-of-Uniforms method, which generates independent samples from the resulting...
Cooperating Music Teachers’ Opinions Regarding the Importance of Selected Traits as Predictors of Successful Student Teaching Experiences
(2016)
The purpose of the study was to determine the perceptions of cooperating
mentor teachers regarding the importance of certain teacher traits as predictors of a
successful student teaching experience. The data collection ...
An analysis of the economic viability of farm credit system banks and combined associations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1991)
Characterization of soybean rooting depth in response to different environmental conditions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
in general, and rooting depth in particular have been limited. Thus, the aims of the research described in this dissertation were to (i) identify genotypic diversity in rooting depth and distribution of roots in the soil profile and relate these traits...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
on the foregoing, this study intends to add vitamin B12 to soymeal because B12 is majorly obtained from animal-based foods but deficient in plant-based foods. So, the vegan and vegetarian population requires B12 from supplements and B12 fortified foods to fulfill...
Structure and Mechanical Properties of Cement and Intermetallic Compounds via ab-initio Simulations
(2015)
) and Mo₅B2Si₃ (T2 phase). It was found that thermal expansion anisotropy (TEA) of T1 phase is captured by this simulation. It was also found an AIMD method to reduce TEA of Mo₅Si₃ (T1 phase) by strategic alloying. With further research these methods may...
Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
