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...
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...
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...
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...
Ultra-wideband miniaturized microstrip patch antennas for wireless communications: design guidelines and modeling
(2013)
The number of wireless communication applications continue to increase steadily, leading to competition for currently allocated frequency bands. Capacity issues in form of data rate and latency have always been a bottleneck ...
Advanced Design and Analysis of UWB U-slot Microstrip Patch Using Theory of Characteristic Modes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Ultra wide band is rapidly advancing as a high data rate wireless communication
technology. As is the case in conventional wireless communication systems, an antenna also
plays a very crucial role in UWB systems. ...
Modulation of HBV infection and replication by cell-derived factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most serious health problems. HBV infection leads to serious morbidity and mortality due to the complications of chronic HBV...
Felix convivum : platters and transformations of dining behavior in the Roman world
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most people in the Roman world used ceramic tableware, despite its absence in iconographical and in literary sources. This observation leads to many ...
Purification and characterization of A[beta] and probing the interactions between myricetin and A[beta] using various spectroscopic methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Worldwide, millions of people suffer from symptoms of memory loss and confusion associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence suggests ...
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 ...
Establishing a foundation for large DNA transfer to artificial minichromosomes and B insert platforms in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
. Additionally, BiBAC targeting to a location outside the native chromosomal sets, such as an artificial minichromosome or B chromosome platform, would enable researchers to stack traits without disrupting endogenous sequences....
