(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-10)
Piedra Pintada is located in San Pablo Canyon, one of a series of major canyons that bisect the mountainous interior of the southern Baja California Peninsula, Mexico. Among the resources used by the canyon's prehistoric ...
An assessment of the impact of gentrification in the Crossroads Arts District of Kansas City, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-14)
The term gentrification can have many different meanings. One person
may think it stands for cleaning up a derelict part of a city while another may
expand the term to cover everything from rehabilitated structures to ...
Detection of diesel leakage from underground storage tank using time domain reflectometry
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-22)
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has established regulations concerning
the construction and maintenance of an underground storage tank (UST) system. These
regulations also define the means and methods required ...
Satellite-based assessment of invasive vegetation in Lake Chad Basin, West Africa
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-31)
Invasive plants are a huge threat not only to the biological integrity of the world's natural ecosystems but also the economies that are supported by those ecosystems. Today, governments worldwide are spending millions of ...
Organoisocyanates: the conformational stability determination by infrared, raman and microwave spectroscopy and ab initio calculation
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012)
Conformational stability studies have been carried out for several quasilinear organoisocyanates and organoisothiocyanates. The infrared and Raman spectra in the gaseous, liquid and solid phases have been recorded as well ...
The role of land-atmosphere and aerosol interactions on meso-scale convective weather systems across West Africa
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
This dissertation investigates the modulating effects of land-atmosphere and
aerosol interactions on meso-scale convective systems across the sub-Saharan West
Africa region, and aims at providing a value-added contribution ...
Comparative analysis of urban wetland classification from multispectral, hyperspectral, and fused satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-18)
Protection and inventory of current wetlands is important for critical habitats,
education, recreation, flood control, and storm water filtration. Over the years, the
United States has lost over one-half of its wetlands ...
Geostatistical analysis of land use/land cover changes and population growth trends in the Komadugu-Yobe River Basin in Nigeria
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012-06-14)
The Komadugu-Yobe River located in northeastern Nigeria is an important tributary of Lake Chad. Since the 1970s, the Komadugu-Yobe basin has experienced significant changes in population density and land use/land cover. ...
The young Thomas Jefferson's geographic thought, 1743 - 1784
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-13)
Thomas Jefferson has long been admired for his influence in many arenas in the colonial era of American history; however, his collection of writings has not been closely scrutinized for his geographic thought. This thesis ...
Geostatistical integration of core and well log data for high-resolution reservoir modeling
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-01)
Analyzing data derived from well logging and core plugs to understand the heterogeneity of porosity in geologic formations is paramount in petrological studies. The well-log data and core-plug data are integrated in order ...
A GIS compilation of field data from the Smith's Fork Archaeological Site (23CL223), Clay County, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-18)
The Smith's Fork (23CL223) archaeological site, located in Clay County, Missouri was investigated using pedestrian survey, ground penetrating radar, shovel testing, archaeological excavations and a geologic study of river ...
Multi-scale analysis of urban wetland changes using satellite remote sensing techniques
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-10)
This study investigates urban wetland-cover changes in the Kansas City metropolitan area with analyses at various spatial and temporal scales. Not many studies fully addressed multi-scale urban wetland-cover dynamics in ...
Ab initio calculations of mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic structure properties of mullite, Iota-alumina and boron carbide
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-22)
The alumino-silicate solid solution series (Al₄₊₂xSi₂-2xO₁₀-x) is an important class of ceramics. Except for the end member (x=0), Al₂SiO₅ the crystal structures of the other phases, called mullite, have partially occupied ...
VELAS: a fully-distributed daily hydrologic feedback model with emphasis on vegetation, land cover, and soil water dynamics
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-15)
We present a daily hydrologic feedback model, VELAS (the VEgetation-
LAnd cover-Soil water dynamics), to simulate daily responses of hydrologic
processes including interception, runoff, evapotranspiration, infiltration, ...
Conformational stability of some silanes and amines from temperature dependent Infrared spectra of rare as solutions, r₀ structural parameters, ab initio calculations, and vibrational assignments
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-12)
The infrared (3600-40 cm-1) and Raman (3600-20 cm-1) spectra of numerous molecules containing silanes or amines have been recorded in the gas, liquid and solid phases. Additionally, variable temperature studies of the ...
