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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
Lc-ms/ms method development for quantitation of nicotine in toenails as a biomaker for secondhand smoke and standard lipoprotein mimetic models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
