  • Characterization of disinfection by-product precursors from Missouri streams 

    Mbonimpa, Eric Gentil (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The NOM contained in drinking water sources reacts with Cl2 to generate THMs and HAAs. THMs and HAAs are regulated by EPA because they pose a health hazard. The nature of the DBP precursors is complex and not well understood. ...

  • Condition assessment of Kevlar composite materials using Raman spectroscopy 

    Brooks, Thomas Michael Brinten (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    This thesis presents the results of an investigation of the Raman scattering effects of aging Kevlar composite strands. The goal of this research is to investigate the potential application of Raman spectroscopy as a ...

  • Development of solution techniques and design guidelines for equestrian trails on public lands 

    Tabor, Nathan Kyle (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Increasing equestrian use on recreational trails puts intense pressure on the environment. Horse traffic produces high stresses that can cause trail degradation such as erosion and muddiness. Much is known about causes of ...

  • Durability of ternary blended cements in bridge applications 

    Stundebeck, Curtis J. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The long-term performance of bridge components can be greatly influenced by the durability parameters including freeze-thaw and chloride permeability resistance. Both freeze-thaw resistance and chloride permeability ...

  • Experimental evaluation of structural composites for blast resistant design 

    Hoemann, John M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Structural panels comprised of honeycomb fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminations were evaluated under blast and fragmentation to examine their value as quickly maneuverable prefabricated structures. The structural panels ...

  • Nitrification performance of a modified aerated lagoon 

    Maguluri, Kanchana (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    The performance of a modified wastewater lagoon and the factors affecting the treatment process are discussed. This study was conducted over a period of twelve months at the Kingdom City, Missouri lagoon. A polyethylene ...
