The use of dispersion modeling to determine the feasibility of vegetative environmental buffers (VEBS) at controlling odor dispersion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Vegetative environmental buffers (VEBs) have been suggested as a possible odor control technology. They have been found to impact odor plume dispersion and have shown the possibility of being an effective tool for odor ...
Investigating use of the Behavior Education Program for students with internalizing behavioral concerns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This study is an examination of the language-literacy connection for adolescent students with disabilities. The author provides an overview of the related areas of research: 1) language-literacy connections in young children, ...
Land use effects on greenhouse gas production in lower Missouri River floodplain soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil-based greenhouse gases (GHG) are produced primarily through plant and microbial processes and are affected by soil properties. The lower Missouri River Floodplain (MRF) region encompasses different land use systems ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Farmers are interested in the use of enhanced efficiency phosphorus (P) fertilizer applications or treatments. The objectives of this research are (1) to determine the effects of tillage/fertilizer placement [no-till ...
The interannual and interdecadal variability of the Borneo vortex during boreal winter monsoon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The boreal winter monsoon over the Malaysian region has long been associated with heavy rainfall activity and flood disaster. One of the main features that characterized this monsoon is the presence of the Borneo vortices. ...
An analysis of northern hemisphere block sizes compared to climatology and seasonal variations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The goal of the following research was to discover if any trends exist between the size of large-scale, mid-latitude anticyclonic events and seasonal characteristics. A 20-year analysis of North American blocking events ...

Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux in Ozark Highland forest soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Soil solution chemistry and nutrient flux may differ among soils due to differences in parent material, biota, landscape position, climate, and degree of weathering. Within soils, soil solution chemistry changes seasonally ...
Characterization of soil organic matter under varying conservation management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
This study examined the effects of three conservation management practices (i.e., no-till, grass vegetative filter strips (VFS) and agroforestry VFS) and four landscape positions (i.e., summit, shoulder, backslope and ...
