Kinetic energy flux associated wiht natural and simulated rainfall events and instrumentation used in the evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
There have been many studies that focus on the evaluation of the raindrop-size distribution and the parameters that are based upon this distribution, ranging from radar reflectivity to kinetic energy flux at the surface. ...
Soil quality as affected by agroforestry and grass buffers in grazed pasture and row crop systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Establishment of agroforestry and grass buffers within agroecosystems is believed to improve soil quality. Soil enzyme activities and water stable aggregates have been identified as sensitive soil quality indicators to ...
The use of geomorphological and pedological soil characteristics to assess planar borrowing at a Mandan Indian village, North Dakota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The Double Ditch State Historic Site is situated in a loess landscape immediately east of the Missouri River near Bismarck, North Dakota. The site was occupied from ca AD 1450 to 1785 by Mandan Indians, Plains Villagers ...
Examining the technical adequacy of curriculum-based measurement progress monitoring in early numeracy using handheld technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of this study was to examine the use of six early numeracy measures to monitor the mathematics progress of kindergarten and first grade students across 13 weeks. Seventy one kindergarteners were administered ...
Sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics in agroforestry buffer, grass buffer, and cropland soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Understanding sorption and transport of veterinary antibiotics (VAs) is important for assessing the risk of VAs reaching water resources. Vegetative buffer strips (VBS) may be a useful tool for mitigating veterinary ...
An exploratory study of culturally responsive teaching practices for students who are ELLs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The purpose of this study was to explore whether certain teacher characteristics impacted teachers' perceived importance and reported use of culturally responsive practices within their classrooms. The numbers of ELLs in ...
Regional and geomorphic influence on soil genesis and oak ecosystems in the Chariton River Hills of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Little is known about soil, geomorphic, and vegetation relationships in the moderately-dissected glaciated forests of the Chariton River Hills Ecological Subsection (CRHES). To gain a better understanding of these relationships ...
Soil microbial contribution to greenhouse gas efflux from a secondary forest in central Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) vary with the interactions among physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of soil and microclimate. Soil microorganisms are involved in almost all soil processes, and are also ...
Evaluating the effectiveness of the core content of the incredible years with and without visual performance feedback for parents of children with autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Many children with autism display externalizing behavior due to challenges they face in the areas of communication, social skills and repetitive behavior or restricted interests. Parents have reported that it is difficult ...
The verification of weather forecasts compared to numerical model guidance, climatology, human forecasts and seasonal variations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
The accuracy of weather forecasts has been a topic of discussion for many years, and a simple but useful method for showing forecast accuracy has been an issue for meteorologists over time. My study on the comparison of ...
Effects of selected surfactants on nutrient uptake and soil microbial community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Surfactants with solvent and wetting abilities are used in the formulation of herbicides to enhance spraying capabilities. These chemicals eventually enter into the soil and may disrupt different chemical, physical and ...
The verification of weather forecasts, numerical modeling, climatology, and variations in enso cycles in forecast accuracy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Weather forecasting has been a difficult problem for meteorologist for more than one hundred years. In the early days, our understanding of atmospheric processes was limited by our incomplete understanding of the governing ...
