Structural inferences for reverse transcribing viruses and drug resistance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As we narrowly focus on the fundamental questions of our respective systems it is important to interact with the broader scientific community to gain greater perspective...
Investigation of smart work zone technologies using mixed simulator and field studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
are drivers behave more uniformly after being educated about the meaning of signage displayed on the back of truck, and performance measured with signage would be more preferable than those without signage. Applications of statistics are extension of studies...
Factors that influence the movement of Cauliflower mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Since the first description of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), it has been the subject of many research papers, both as a model system for plant molecular virology...
Long Term Ocular Drug Delivery with Novel Pentablock Copolymers; Part I: Composite Nanoformulation of Macromolecules For Back of the Eye Diseases, Part II: Dexamethasone Nanoparticle to Develop an In Vitro Model for Glaucoma
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Pentablock (PB) copolymers have been successfully synthesized for long term delivery in
the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. PB copolymers are comprised of FDA
approved biodegradable polymer such as ...
A multi-scale investigation of ecologically relevant effects of agricultural runoff on amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Modification of landscapes for agricultural production can introduce agrochemicals into surface waters and degrade aquatic habitats used by many amphibians for breeding and larval development. Although many ecotoxicological ...
Raman, Infrared and Microwave Spectra, Conformational Stability, R₀ Structural Parameters and Vibrational Assignments of Some Organoamines, Organophosphines, Alcohols And Substituted Four And Five Membered Rings
(2014)
The infrared and Raman spectra of compounds with amino, phosphours, silane and hydroxyl functional groups, as well as some with cyclic skeletal structures have been recorded of the gas and in condensed phases. Temperature ...
Comparative study of type 2 median crossovers and median u-turns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Many states use rural expressway median crossovers which provide for separation between the two opposing traffic lanes to manage the direct left turn movements between the expressways and cross roads. As the volume increases ...
Building the best : a quantitative evaluation of a state-level teacher retention strategy designed to increase self-efficacy, reflective capacity, and job satisfaction through effective professional development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
in reflection with reflective supervision is correlated with desire for improvement and job satisfaction (Priddis and Rogers, 2018), both of which are connected to teacher retention. Missouri Teacher Academy is a state-level initiative designed to support...
Evaluation of Cement-Based Reactive Media for Contaminant Remediation
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Water contaminated with heavy metals, arsenic, and other industrial pollutants
poses a severe risk to human health. Reactive media present an opportunity to intercept
contaminants but have high material or environmental ...
Applications of the boundary element method for structural shape optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)
In this study, applications of the boundary element method for two- and three-dimensional structural shape optimization are presented. The displacements and stresses of the structure are computed using the boundary element ...
