Characterization and functional analysis of the P2Y₂R gene promoter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Extracellular nucleotides can bind to the P2Y₂R and modulate proliferation and migration of smooth muscle cells, which is known to be involved in intimal hyperplasia that accompanies atherosclerosis and post-angioplasty ...
Crossing the school house gates : a media access audit of public high schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
sent the reporter off campus based upon her profession. Other administrators were unperturbed by a media presence in their schools, allowing the researcher to freely roam the school. During debriefing, many administrators reported that relationships...
Bioinformatics methods for protein identification using peptide mass fingerprinting data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
development: we implemented our computational methods in an open source package "ProteinDecision" which is freely available upon request. ....
Architecting the spatial enablement of a film location database for enhanced geographic analysis and query
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
to process data from different sources. The system must allow the inclusion of data as it is added to the database by end-users and maintain a structure that is still optimized for querying yet not limiting the availability of the data....
PRIMEGENSv2 : a service based platform using object oriented model view controller design pattern
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
There are a number of tools and software packages dealing with the problem of efficient primer and probe design. In an era of fast paced research it is rather difficult for any researcher to change their favorite tool. So ...
Using nested structures to select models for developmental trajectories of cognitive abilities in adulthood
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Change over time can be modeled through a variety of statistical techniques including, but not limited to, linear or quadratic slope-intercept (SI), repeated-measures MANOVA, and single-factor growth models. Choice of ...
A high voltage piezoelectric transformer for active interrogation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A resonant piezoelectric transformer circuit was developed for high voltage generation. The goal of this project was to produce 100 kV with a reasonably sized piezoelectric crystal. Several mechanisms leading to less than ...
MUPrimer : a tool for finding allele specific PCR-primers for homologous gene sequences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of specific regions of DNA has proven to be a powerful tool in molecular biology research. Synthetic ...
Comparison of three tall fescue-based stocker systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A two-year study was conducted on tall fescue-based pastures to evaluate three approaches to rotationally stocking stocker calves. Within each year, two sets (a spring set and a fall set) of crossbred steers were stratified ...
Waterproof dress : an exploration of development and design from 1880 through 1895
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Waterproof dress had an important role in the late nineteenth century. Heretofore little research has been done to examine the development and design of this apparel sector. The three types of waterproofing techniques used ...
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and exposure to nature in college students
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent behavioral disorders in the U.S. and has significant cognitive and behavioral symptoms (e.g., challenges in focus, memory, and sustained attention). ...
