[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Currently in the United States there is a nationwide legislative movement to legalize marijuana for persons with certain diagnosable diseases. Despite representing a dramatic...
Intramammary infections in lactating Jersey cows: prevalence of pathogens and association of pathogen type with milk somatic cell count and persistence of infection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
included lactating cows (n = 753) enrolled from 4 Jersey dairy farms within a 250-mile radius of Columbia, Missouri. Mammary quarter foremilk samples were aseptically collected once monthly for 3 consecutive months. Microorganisms were identified using...
Genotype, environment and GE interaction effect on soybean oil composition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Changing the content of the five major soy-oil fatty acids is important to enhance food, fuel and other applications of soybean oil. In addition to genetic effects, the growth environment can significantly affect oil ...
Development of a multi-omics approach to identify highly correlated transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolic signatures in maize B73 and FR697 drought stressed nodal roots
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Maize is one of the most important crops grown in the continental US and worldwide, and as such, major interest is directed towards understanding the impact of drought conditions on maize growth and development. Nodal ...
Fission product diffusion in ig-110 graphite
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
. A time-release method was utilized to measure these diffusion coefficients at temperatures up to 1973 K using an inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometer. The effective diffusion coefficients here reported can be used to aid predictive fission...
Regeneration of soil microbial, physical, and chemical properties in restored bottomland hardwood forest wetlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
(WRP)] was initiated with the goal of reducing the loss of wetlands and restoring wetlands previously converted to agricultural land use. Despite the importance of preserving and restoring wetlands, the benefits of wetland restoration have not been well...
The methods of missionaries in civilizing savage and barbarous peoples viewed from the standpoint of sociology and pedagogy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
This thesis assumes that missionaries are a civilizing force. Their work is frequently initial and fundamental in civilizing savage and barbarous peoples. But what is meant by civilization? The significance usually attached ...
Securitization as a theory of media effects : the contest over the framing of political violence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
threats to a state's physical or cultural survival. The dissertation offers a two-stage model, in which securitization is first examined as an effect in news media accounts and then tested in an experiment as an effect of media accounts. A content analysis...
Sulfur metabolism in Glycine max [L.] Merr : characterization of serine acetyletransferase and O-acetylserine (thiol) lyase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr) is considered an excellent protein source for both humans and livestock. Further improvement of quantity and quality of soybean protein is vital for maintaining the utility of this versatile ...

Rick Santorum's Catholicism and wedge issues : a content analysis of religion coverage in major U.S. newspapers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Little scholarly research has been conducted about how journalists report on religion during a political campaign. Even so, there is evidence to suggest religion plays a major role in voting patterns in an election. Journalists, however, often avoid...
