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...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for an eccentric-circular cam design and a one-cam one-pulley design. By iteratively determining the bow limb, cam, and cable positions a relationship between the drawn length and drawn force will produce a draw-force curve. In fact, this curve represents...
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 ...
Investigating pore-forming peptides using the atomic force microscope
