Wall and inertia corrections to the settling velocity of spheroids
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1987)
experiment is to determine the combined inertia and wall effects on the terminal velocity of prolate spheroids falling normal to their axis of symmetry for circular and square cross section boundaries. This information would then be used with the ongoing...
The effects of structural modifications on sigma receptor binding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
by replacing the left phenylpropyl group of SA4503 with an N-iodoallyl group yielded a sigma1 selective ligand (1h-7, E-IA-DM-PE-PIPZ) that had appropriate lipophilicity for penetrating the blood brain barrier in the CNS. The in vivo studies using...
High strain properties of advanced high strength spot welded steels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This research was conducted to investigate and characterize the high strain rate compressive loading behavior of DP600 GI, an advanced high strength ...
Surface texture produced by peripheral milling with helical end mills
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1972)
on the geometrical considerations of a circular tooth path. Experimentation was conducted to correlate the theoretical approximations and to determine the significance of process variables using multiple regression analysis. The theory, based entirely...
Broadband beamforming and direction finding using concentric ring array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Sensor arrays have been used widely in applications including radar, sonar, seismology, biomedicine, communications and imaging. A very popular type of sensor array is circular array, which has almost invariant array pattern in azimuthal plane...
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials for arsenic adsorption : surface complexation and intraparticle diffusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
performance under different pH conditions, respectively. Surface complexation models (SCM) can be developed to simulate the adsorption performance as a function of pH, arsenic concentrations, and ionic strength. And estimation of important adsorption...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
spherical multicomponent assemblies via the selfassembly approach. Chapter 2 will describe the formation of very large molecular capsules based upon the self-assembly of six macrocycles called the C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes. These molecular capsules are held...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
is the study of pyrogallol[4]arene with R-groups R=H and R=phenyl. This macrocycle self-assembles into dimeric and hexameric nanocapsules. Several different structures for the macrocycle and its subunits, their relative energies, and their solvent interactions...
Fully automated deep supervised and unsupervised learning approaches for 3D protein cryo-EM density map reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
of single particle images are required to be extracted from two-dimensional (2D) cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) to build a reliable high-resolution (3D) model. In order to reduce the radiation damage to the biomolecules of interest during the imaging...
Shape optimization for beam structural design
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
structures, much of the work has been concerned with truss problems [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]. Some work has also been reported for frame st ructures[10,11,12]. However, the vast majority of this effort was almost exclusively focused on member sizing...
Essays on Investment Stagnation and Financialization
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The three essays composing this manuscript examine the problem of capital accumulation from three distinct perspectives. the first essay offers a historical-dynamical view into the work of the pioneer of investment stagnation, ...
An evaluation of waste plastic in asphalt pavement towards a circular economy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Incorporating waste plastic into asphalt pavement is an evolving recycling strategy based on a circular economy approach. Dow has cooperated with MU to use optimal recycle plastic to target better pavement performance with less plastic leaking...
Synthethic pathways to multiple surface functionalization of polyhedral boranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The chemistry of dodecahydro--closo--dodecaborate(2-), closo-[B12H12]2-, and decahydro-closo-decaborate(2-), [B10H10]2-, with different organic substituents was investigated...
In Pursuit of Extraordinarily Twisted Acenes
(2015-05-26)
Longitudinally twisted acenes are a topologically interesting class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and it could be argued that they have quite beautiful chemical structures, too. X-ray crystal analysis of many ...
A numerical study on the rotational motion of an axisymmetric particle in a viscous fluid
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1983)
"The motion of a single particle in an inertialess unbounded Newtonian fluid has been studied for more than 100 years. The applications of such problems in industry are: the transport of slurries in pulp processing, the ...
