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...
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...
Dynamic agent safety logic : theory and applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Modal logic is a family of logics for reasoning about relational structures, broadly construed. It sits at the nexus of philosophy, mathematics, software engineering, and economics. By modeling a target domain as a relational ...
Weak phase retrieval and phaseless reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Phase retrieval and phaseless reconstruction for Hilbert space frames is a very active area of research. Recently, it was shown that these concepts are equivalent. In this thesis, we make a detailed study of a weakening ...
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 ...
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 ...
Putting physics first
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2014)
Meera Chandrasekhar, an MU faculty member, wins a national award in part for improving high school science education....
2007 annual report (2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia Extension Division, 2007)
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...
Who drives defense policy : elites or public interest?
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
With a massive budget deficit and an ever-increasing national debt, while Congress and the President almost shut down the federal government over funding for Planned Parenthood in 2011, defense spending seems to be nearly ...
Metamorphism of the Wales Group and Moira Group on Prince of Wales and Dall Islands, southeastern Alaska
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This study examines the metamorphic history of the Proterozoic to Early Ordovician Wales Group and the newly-named Ordovician to Silurian Moira Group ...
Phase retrieval in frame theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This dissertation is the study of phase retrieval in frame theory. The first part is concerned with the analysis of phase retrieval and the complete classification of norm retrieval. Norm retrieval is essential to transfer ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
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...
Examination of metabolic and regulatory networks of desulfovibrio species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004)
The sulfate-reducing bacteria are a morphologically diverse group of organisms characterized by the ability to couple the enzymatic reduction of sulfate to energy production and growth. This metabolic activity has profound ...
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, ...
Molecular cloning and characterization of regulatory enzymes in threonine biosynthetic pathway from soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Soybeans (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) are a good source of protein and oil. Despite being a very good source of protein, soybeans nutritional value is limited by low proportion of sulfur amino acids methionine and cysteine ...
The effects of axotomy on the biophysical properties of reticulospinal neurons in larval lamprey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Following severe spinal cord injury (SCI), in adult higher vertebrates there is little or no axonal regeneration, and animals remain paralyzed below the lesion. In contrast, lower vertebrates such as the lamprey, following ...
Fluorescence spectroscopy and parallel factor analysis of waters from municipal waste sources
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
location. Parallel Factor Analysis (PARAFAC) has recently been used to effectively model EEM data sets. This thesis continues the study of the EEM/PARAFAC technique by applying it to waters of municipal waste sources. Bi-weekly samples were collected over a...
