Adoption and diffusion of agrobiotechnologies in the US cotton production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The study examines the farm level adoption and county level diffusion of three cotton biotechnologies in the US: insect resistant (Bollgard®), herbicide tolerance (Roundup Ready®), and stacked trait (Bollgard® & Roundup ... -
Application of a digital terrain model for forrest land classification and soil survey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)Land characterization and classification is central to sound natural resource management. Forest land classifications usually lack sufficient detail, are not scale-adjustable, and are limited in scope and applications for ... -
Arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase and ubiquitin as potential fertility markers in boars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study was performed to determine whether using high power microscopic analysis and two putative biochemical fertility markers, 15-lipoxygenase ... -
Characterization and functional significance of Msc2p & Zrg17p, which form a zinc transport complex in the endoplasmic reticulum of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)We demonstrate a novel interaction between two members of the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Msc2p and a newly recognized CDF family member, Zrg17p. Both Msc2p and Zrg17p have been ... -
Development and evaluation of a technique for evaluating riparian vegetation change in the tallgrass prairie
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)North America's tallgrass prairie region is one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. Recent management and research efforts have focused on the effects of anthropogenic change to upland components of the tallgrass ... -
Examination of metabolic and regulatory networks of desulfovibrio species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)The sulfate-reducing bacteria are a morphologically diverse group of organisms characterized by the ability to couple the enzymatic reduction of sulfate to energy production and growth. This metabolic activity has profound ... -
Modeling forest transition pathways for decision making in private forestry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)In the Central Hardwoods Region, 90% of forested lands are privately owned and the majority of harvested hardwoods come from non-industrial private forests. However, many landowners seek little professional advice when ... -
A qualitative investigation of the urban minority adolescent experience with wildlife
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)An increase in urbanization has contributed to an increase in the general public's isolation from traditional uses of wildlife and led to changes in attitudes toward wildlife. Although the majority of people live in urban ... -
Selection for placental efficiency in swine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)With the overall goal of increasing profitability by increasing litter size, two lines of pigs were divergently selected for four generations on an index of reproductive traits (n = 193 litters). The selection index (SI) ... -
Simulating the effects of riparian zone delineation and management practices on landscape pattern and timber production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)Best management practices (BMPs) are essential to giving the forest manager guidelines to follow that result in the least amount of negative impact on the forest landscape and corresponding riparian areas. The purpose of ...
