There is not a clear consensus on how open-standard video streaming technologies perform across wireless computer networks. Wireless networking technologies have become nearly ubiquitous, particularly in residential networks, ...

The aromatase knockout mouse lacks the gene sequence coding for functional aromatase, a protein that converts androgens into estrogens. Previously, to genotype an aromatase mouse, two separate PCRs were run: #1) Neomycin ...

The Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR) in Columbia, Missouri is interested in the amount of the Argon-41 being produced and released to the environment. The objective of this work is to know what operations within ...

The nuclear research facility at the University of Missouri-Columbia (MURR) has proposed a redesign of the process for irradiating the samples with INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis) in order to increase ...

Recent development in genetic engineering has paved the way for researchers to produce crops of high nutritional value, high yield and resistant to diseases and pests. Ascorbic acid is one of the nutrients that researchers ...

Anthrax is a highly fatal disease primarily of cattle, sheep, and goats caused by the Gram-positive, endospore-producing, rod-shaped bacterium Bacillus anthracis. B. anthracis, like the other members of the genus Bacillus, ...

critical step to obtain the necessary building block of the subsequent synthesis of the iodinated peptide. This was done by the use of the reagent bis(pyridine)iodonium tetrafluoroborate to add iodine to dimethyl tyrosine. ...

Relatively new to the scientific community is the RNA interference pathway (RNAi) that can be used to silence post-transcriptional gene expression. Long dsRNA can be introduced into cells and through various mechanisms ...

Recent studies show that adult neural tissues can harbor stem cells within unique niches. In the mammalian central nervous system, neural stem cell (NSC) niches are present in the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone ...

This is a study of perceived entrepreneurial ability and perceived obstacles to important business relationships of business managers/owners in the Midwest. It was expected that the self perceived entrepreneurial ability ...

Western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is a major pest in the maize fields of North America; causing tremendous economic loss. WCR vectors Wolbachia spp., an obligate intracellular bacterium. ...

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) (Applied Materials P5000, CA) was used to deposit three different types of hydrogenated amorphous Silicon Carbide (a-SiC:H) films on quartz and n-type Si substrates. These ...

The average life expectancy in the U.S has grown. However, as older adults age, one can expect to see a decline in their functional ability. An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Missouri has been developed ...

The biogenic amines serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) have been implicated in the formation of place memories in Drosophila melanogaster. However, stronger evidence exists in support of 5-HT as the more essential factor ...

Plastids are functionally and structurally diverse organelles and include chloroplasts (found in leaves), leucoplasts (roots), chromoplasts (flower petals), and amyloplasts (tubers). Plant embryos also contain plastids and ...

The overall objective of this research is to advance our understanding of how, and to what degree, small hydropower development can aid in the fight against global warming. The leading cause of climate change today is ...

Increasing awareness of environmental factors and limited energy resources have led to a profound evolution in the way we view the generation and supply of energy. Although fossil and nuclear sources will remain the most ...

US produces annually huge amount of animal and farm wastes (e.g. only cow manure in amount of about 1.8 billion tons). These wastes can be valuable source of renewable energy besides overcoming the environmental problems ...
