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 ...
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....
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...
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 ...
