Parent-adolescent relationships, sibling ordinal status, and adolescent adjustment [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Investigating the possible moderating affects of sibling ordinal status, researchers tested how differences in parent-child communication and trust between first-born and later-born children influence adolescent depressed ...
Design and testing of heat pipes [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The project focuses on the design and testing of straight heat pipes. During the duration of the project three different styles of heat pipe manufacturing were developed. The first style consisted of flattening the pipe ...
A computational model for genetically inherited depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Depression, or major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most disabling and prevalent disorders. It is seen in all age groups, both genders, and all races. One of the biggest problems of depression is the frequency of ...
Roach colony optimization: a new approach to problem solving [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Computational intelligence, more specifically agent-based computing is a new way of thinking about computation that differs from the old methods of logical deconstruction and processing. We are developing a computational ...
If it won't explode, hit it with a hammer: Facilitating chemical reactions at a liquid surface
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
Collisional energy transfer at a gas-liquid interface may play an important role in the initial decomposition of multiphase combustibles. The energy feedback of hot, energetic, gaseous atoms, in this case Ar, striking the ...
Characterizing the role of Glycine max NHL gene family members in plant-nematode interactions [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines) is a microscopic parasitic roundworm of soybean that causes nearly $1 billion dollars in annual yield loss in the United States. SCN damages the plant by attaching itself ...
Involvement of TolC protein in the export of siderophore enterobactin in Escherichia coli
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
To acquire the necessary iron against harsh competition in the environment, iron starved bacteria synthesize, excrete and retrieve iron scavenging molecules termed siderophores, one of which is enterobactin. TolC protein ...
Water flow sensor for eldercare [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Changes in hygiene habits can be an early indicator of mental and/or physical decline in elders. Since personal hygiene activity accounts for much of the water use in a home, and since much of this activity happens in ...
Progress in the synthesis of a Technetium-labeled complex as a potential Sigma receptor binding ligand
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
The sigma receptors have been known to affect several physiological functions such as psychosis, depression and uncontrolled cell proliferation. But what makes the sigma receptors so great is the fact that they bind a ...
