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 ...
The Spoon Toe Site (11MG179): Middle Woodland gardening in the lower Illinois River Valley
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This thesis is an examination of archaeobotanical remains from the Spoon Toe site, a Middle Woodland Massey phase site located in the uplands above the Lower Illinois River valley in Morgan County in western Illinois. The ...
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 ...
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...
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)
, and 1615 cm-1). The excitation of wavelength 197 nm characterized features of mimetic lipoprotein models. Other measurements, such as circular dichroism (CD), UV-vis, and fluorescence spectroscopy provided spectroscopic information to identity...
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...
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...
Establishing a foundation for large DNA transfer to artificial minichromosomes and B insert platforms in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In plants, conventional genetic engineering methods limit the number of available traits that could potentially improve the quality of agriculture. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and biolistic bombardment are tools ...
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...
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...
Science as a guide to aesthetics?
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2/2/2006)
Scientific Realism is alive and as well as ever. However, it would be just plain
wrong to say that the many diverse thinkers that compose this camp monopolize contemporary philosophy of science; realist literature continues ...
Application of deep convolutional neural networks to automatic feature/object detection in high resolution remote sensing imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
of CaffeNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet-50, ResNet-101, on this data set. ResNet-101 achieved a 96.4 percent average accuracy on the world-wide SAM site data set. Finally, we present a China SAM site search and detection case study. First, we compare a visual Broad...
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 ...
Machine learning methods for 3D object classification and segmentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Object understanding is a fundamental problem in computer vision and it has been extensively researched in recent years thanks to the availability of powerful GPUs and labelled data, especially in the context of images. ...
