• Mu-synthesis controller design for temperature control of a solar steam gasifier with uncertainty modeling and robust analysis 

  Shinn, Tyler Andrew (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Gasifiers operate by inputting a carbon rich material, water, and heat into a reactor core to cause a chemical reaction to produce a desired chemical composition output. For this work, a unique hybrid allothermal/autothermal ...

• Timing of ovulation in gilts treated with different regiments of OvuGel(R) and Matrix(R) 

  Quick, Brie Leanne (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Previous research has shown that 85% of gilts treated with Matrix(R) will show heat (estrus) 4-9 d after last Matrix(R) feeding. Synchronization of estrus is important in knowing when to inseminate (breed). This window of ...

• Factors affecting growth of the conceptus in lactating dairy cows and non-lactating dairy heifers 

  Stratman, Tyler J. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Embryonic loss in dairy cows continues during the fifth and sixth weeks of pregnancy in lactating dairy cows. There is an association between smaller embryos and pregnancy loss during this period. The objective was to ...

• Analysis of transcript abundance of uterine genes after application of bovine pregnancy associated glycoproteins to endometrial explants 

  Wallace, Rhianna M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Pregnancy-associated glycoproteins (PAGs) belong to the aspartic protease family and are expressed exclusively by trophoblasts of even-toed ungulates. This study was designed to provide insight into some of the biological ...

• Timing GnRH administration with split-time artificial insemination following administration of CIDRbased protocols to synchronize estrus and ovulation in beef heifers and cows 

  Bishop, Brianne Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

• Evaluation of long-term CIDR-based estrus synchronization protocols in primiparous two-year-old beef cows 

  Abel, Jillian Mae (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Reproductive management of two-year-old beef cows presents a unique challenge in managing a beef herd, since this age group of females typically experiences the highest incidence of reproductive failure. Strategic management ...

• A survey of relationships among rare breeds of swine 

  Roberts, Kizzi Suzanne (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  Swine production has evolved over the last century resulting in the loss of biodiversity among breeds utilized by commercial producers. Only a handful of breeds are used extensively by these producers, with many swine ...

• Transcriptional profiling to improve porcine preimplantation embryo development in vitro 

  Redel, Bethany K. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  Culture environments can have profound impacts on the developmental program of the preimplantation embryo. Even though significant improvements have been made to embryo culture environments they are still sub-optimal to ...

• Development of a novel immunoassay for simultaneous quantification of endocrine parameters 

  Benavides, Elizabeth (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)

  Since the advent of the radioimmunoassay in the 1950s, numerous immunologically-based methods have evolved for sample analysis. Although each immunological method possesses unique assets and liabilities, all share limited ...

• Impact of zymannase on growth performance, carcass characteristics, fat quality and processed meats in finishing barrow fed 30% dried distiller's grains with solubles 

  Singer, Michael (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  As ethanol production continues to increase, so does the use of dried distiller's grains with solubles (DDGS) in swine diets. The effects of high concentrations of DDGS on growing/finishing pigs has caused problems with ...

• Evaluation of the Kansas City Public Schools' student-centered learning program Harry Truman Elementary 

  Scraggs, Steven (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)

  Student-Centered Learning is a foundational curriculum and instructional framework developed in the Kansas City Public Schools District and implemented between 2010 and 2012. The program was designed by incorporating many ...

• Shelf stability and quailty of fresh ground pork and pork sausage from pigs fed ethanol co-products 

  Evans, Hannah (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
