Dr. Richard Sayre spoke about biomass resources, including the potential of microalgae to provide a renewable fuel. Dr. Robert Duncan addressed the need for objective scientific method when evaluating new technologies, ...
Using Biodiesel as a Lubricity Additive for Petroleum Diesel Fuel
(2009-04)
Professor Schumacher discussed aspects of lubricity in fuels, including a project to determine the concentration of biodiesel that will raise the lubricity of the new low sulfur diesel fuel.
2009 Hog Market Outlook
(2009-02)
This presentation gives an outlook of the hog market in 2009. 2009 should be a good year for producers. Supply of meats will be down. Unfortunately, meat demand is very weak....
From plant to the pump : how plant genome research at MU is helping to achieve bioenergy goals
(2009)
Part of America's answer to the current energy crisis could be fuels made from plants. Fuel made from plant materials, such as cellulose or corn kernels, not only holds promise of reducing our nation's dependence on foreign ...
Structural studies of HPV oncoprotein E7 and interactions with transcription factor, E2F1 [abstract]
(University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) E7 is a key DNA tumor viral transforming oncoprotein related to cervical cancer around the world. In a normal cell, retinoblastoma protein pRb, a tumor suppressor protein, binds to E2F, a transcription factor, inactivating...
Resonance energy in methyl acetate and its valence-isoelectronic analogs containing sulfur and selenium [abstract]
(University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
A convenient definition of resonance energy is the deviation from thermoneutrality of the reaction: CH3C(X)CH3 + CH3YCH3 + CH3C(X)YCH3 + C2H6, where X and Y are O, S, and Se. The results of G2 and G3 calculations will be discussed and compared...
Epitaxial Electrodeposition of Metal Oxide Thin Films and Superlattices for Energy Conversion and Storage
(2009-04)
. The shape, orientation, and even chirality can be controlled through solution additives, pH, and electrode potential. Our emphasis is on producing epitaxial nanostructures of metal oxide semiconductors such as ZnO and Cu2O, magnetic materials such as Fe3O4...
Photovoltaic and Betavoltaic Efforts at University of Missouri-Columbia
(2009)
is that it is specifically designed to convert energy from beta particles rather than photons. Nano crystalline silicon-carbide (SiC) and ZnO are some of the ideal candidates for betavoltaic devices because of its high band gap and radiation hardness. Both of them are also...
Next Generation Neutron Detection for Next Generation Nuclear Reactors
(2009-04)
As the demand for nuclear energy increases worldwide, and MO reactors come online, so does
the availability of spent fuel that may be used as a medium of terror. That is, fuel for and waste
or byproducts from fissile ...
Missouri S&T Hydrogen Fuel Cell EcoCAR
(2009-04)
Today, the automotive industry is at a crossroads during the worst economic downturn in 75
years. Particularly frustrating is that this crisis struck just at a time when these companies were
successfully restructuring ...
A Research Program Nuclear Energy Conversion
(2009-04)
Direct conversion of nuclear energy to electricity has been a challenging problem since the
inception of the generation of electricity from nuclear reactions. The development of wide bandgap,
p-n junctions in materials ...
Microphotonic Harsh Environment Sensors for Clean Fuel and Power Generation
(2009-04)
micromaching, the long period fiber grating (LPFG) fabricated by CO2 laser irradiations, the fiber inline core-cladding mode interferometers (CMMI), and the LPFG coupled CMMI sensors. These sensors can be directly used for the measurements of various physical...
Biofuel policies and markets in an uncertain world
(2009-04)
This FAPRI presentation discusses biofuel policies and global markets, topics include change in grain domestic use, world oil supply and corn and ethanol prices. Presentation by Seth Meyer at the MU Energy Summit at the ...
Estrogen receptors in TRAMP C2 cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
shown that double transgenic ER alpha knockout/ TRAMP mice have decreased incidence of PDC, while ER beta knockout/ TRAMP mice have increased incidence of PDC, which implies different roles for ER α and ER β in prostate cancer. The TRAMP C2 cell line...
