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...
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...
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 ...
Investigating pore-forming peptides using the atomic force microscope
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In my projects, I used the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to image the effects of pore-forming peptides and I used the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) to modify AFM cantilevers to increase the precision of force spectroscopy ...
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...
Agroforestry and grass buffers for improving soil hydraulic properties and reducing runoff and sediment losses from grazed pastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for the pasture treatments compared to buffer treatments. Soil water content at high soil water potentials (0 and -0.4 kPa) was greater in the buffer treatments relative to pasture treatments for the 0-10 cm soil depth. Soil macroporosity ( [greater than] 1000...
Fully automated deep supervised and unsupervised learning approaches for 3D protein cryo-EM density map reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
One of the most important components of the human body is the protein. Protein uses for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones. It is the essential building block of bones, muscles, cartilages, skin ...
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 ...
Design and analysis of a frequency reconfigurable antenna for wireless communication at 5 GHz
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
substrate dimensions (L, W, H) are 30 x 27 mm and 1.67 mm respectively, while the patch was made from copper. The substrate was made from the industry standard FR- 4 material, with a relative permittivity of 4.3. The operational frequency bands...
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 ...
Modulation of HBV infection and replication by cell-derived factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
infection. For example, HBV chronic infection is responsible for most of the cases of hepatocellular carcinomas. HBV is a small DNA virus and considered the prototype of family Hepadnaviridae. HBV genome is composed of partially double-stranded, relaxed-circular...
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...
Automated Software to Count Stains in Immunostaining Applications
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Quantification of cells from immunostained images is a vital procedure in biomedical
analysis, as it helps in the measurement of proliferation, immunodetection and differentiation
of nuclear markers, which in turn play ...
The herpes simplex virus virion host shutoff protein is targeted to mRNA cleavage sites through interactions with components of the host translational apparatus
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
of circularized RNA that normally experiences cap-dependent scanning and circularized RNA that initiates translation in a cap-independent manner. Results indicated that Vhs requires a free 5' end for specific cleavage of mRNA that undergoes cap-dependent scanning...
Single carrier frequency domain equalization for broadband wireless communications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis discusses different channel estimation techniques, channel equalization and various diversity schemes for broadband wireless communication ...
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 ...
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...
Cryo-EM reveals how adeno-associated virus engages its receptor AAVR and an investigation of the GPR108 ectodomain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
the possible interactions between AAV2 and an uncharacterized protein that has been shown to be important in AAV entry for some serotypes, GPR108. We show that AAV2 preferentially binds to our expressed GPR108 constructs, implying that there may be a direct...
In Pursuit of Extraordinarily Twisted Acenes
