Introduction to Commercializing Ideas (1995)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1995)
An idea has little value to society if it is not converted into something tangible and available to the public. Generally, an idea that cannot earn a reasonable profit in our society will not be made public. Therefore, ...
Multi-scale self-assembly of nanoenergetic materials utilizing functionalized graphene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
gelation process of reduced graphene oxide was developed and utilized for self-assembling Al and Bi2O3 into macroscale structures with enhanced energetic performance and handling safety. The process successfully reduced graphene oxide sheets into r...
Semiparametric analysis of time-to-event data and longitudinal data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Interval-censored failure time data are commonly observed in demographical, epi-demiological, financial, medical, and sociological studies. It is well-known that the proportional hazards model is one of the most used ...
Establishing a foundation for large DNA transfer to artificial minichromosomes and B insert platforms in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
difficult due to independent segregation in meiosis. Alternatively, the use of binary bacterial artificial chromosomes (BiBACs), large insert cloning vectors, can maintain and transfer up to 300 kps, but are also subject to random integrations. Therefore...
Modeling and simulation of a segmented thermoelectric generator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Interest in thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery has flourished in recent years. Typically, the efficiency of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is quite low. Investigations are conducted in this thesis to get ...
Infosphere, number 04 (Dec 1994/Jan 1995)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1994-12)
The Climatology of Blocking Anticyclones for the Northern and Southern Hemispheres: Block Intensity as a Diagnostic
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-12)
were included in the study and these were frequency of occurrence, preferred formation regions, duration, blocking days, and intensity. The block intensity (BI) calculation was modified successfully from a previous study in order to automate...
Strong Consistency of MLE in Nonlinear Mixed-effects Models with Large Cluster Size
(Indian Statistical Institute, 2005)
The search for conditions for the consistency of maximum likelihood estimators in nonlinear
mixed effects models is difficult due to the fact that, in general, the likelihood can
only be expressed as an integral over the ...
The Faculty Support Ecosystem : the rose of institutions in technology adoption amongst higher education faculty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Social distancing measures due to COVID-19 forced higher education faculty to adopt technology at a rapid pace. Institutions fought to keep up with the demand and assist faculty as much as possible. However, the rapid ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
obtained using bovine c dna microarrays. Of the 17,692 probes on the arrays, 606 unique genes and 32 sequences not matching any known genes were identified as differentially expressed with a cut off false discovery rate (FDR) of 0.05. Seventeen gene...
Gene therapy in spinal muscular atrophy : RNA-based strategies to modulate the pre-mRNA splicing of survival motor neuron
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Gene expression is the required process in eukaryotes in which DNA is transcribed into pre-mRNA, spliced to produce "mature" mRNA and translated into proteins. Inaccuracies in splicing events are receiving more attention ...
Frame interpolation in H.264
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
the skipped frames to improve the temporal smoothness and video presentation quality. In this work, we develop a new frame interpolation method using bi-directional motion estimation for H.264 video coding. Spatiotemporal motion vector smoothing for a block...
Racial differences in households' financial asset allocation, 1992-2004
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
By combining the data from the 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001 and 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances, this study investigated racial differences in households' financial asset allocation over the years. This study categorized the financial assets into four...
Statistical analysis of multivariate interval-censored failure time data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
A voluminous literature on right-censored failure time data has been developed in the past 30 years. Due to advances in biomedical research, interval censoring has become increasingly common in medical follow-up studies. ...
Statistical analysis of clustered or multivariate interval-censored failure time data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
of the presented methodology, an extensive simulation study is performed and suggests that the method works well in practical situations. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to a tumorigenicity experiment. Several directions for future research are discussed...
GABP regulation of the murine GABPa/ATPsynthase coupling factor six and human glutathione reductase promoters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
GABPa is expressed from a bi-directional promoter expressing ATP synthase coupling factor six (CF6) in the opposite direction. This bi-directional promoter is regulated by GABP, indicating an autoregulation of GABPa. GABP is a redox sensitive...
Daily alcohol use and relationship functioning in young adult romantic relationships
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
of bi-directional influences between relationship functioning and alcohol use. The present study sought to address these limitations by examining bi-directional effects of alcohol use and relationship processes in a normal population sample of 81 couples...
Calculated Height Tendencies in Two Southern Hemisphere Blocking and Cyclone Events: The Contribution of Diabatic Heating to Block Intensification
(American Meteorological Society, 2008-09)
The Zwack-Okossi vorticity tendency equation was used to calculate 500-hPa height tendencies in two intensifying Southern Hemisphere blocking events. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction-
National Center for ...
Photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles studies of two-dimensional Dirac and Weyl materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted tremendous research interest since the breakthrough of graphene. As the nature of the low dimension, 2D materials are thin, flexible, and easy for fabrication. More interestingly, ...
Understanding students' technology appropriation and learning perceptions in online learning environments
