Comparative Investigation of LIBS Spectra and Crater Morphology During Laser Ablation of Eutectic BiSn Alloys
(2022)
material transfer during the ablation process of eutectic Bismuth-Tin (BiSn) alloys as the investigated material. A nanosecond excimer pulsed Ultraviolet (UV) laser was used to ablate the targeted alloys. Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS...
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...
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 ...
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...
Library Connections, 2008 Winter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, MU Libraries, 2008)
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 ...
Helping children understand divorce (2004)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2004)
Spectrum, volume 31, number 04
(University of Missouri, Office of Strategic Communications, 2004)
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 ...
Investigation and development of wideband antenna gain enhancement techniques
(2023)
and patch antennas without increasing their physical dimensions. In horn antenna, for every dBi of gain increment, the flare length and aperture area should increase by 20% and 10%, respectively. External lens classes, such as gradient refractive index...
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)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In video transmission over low-bandwidth networks, videos are often encoded at low frame rates. At the decoder side, frame interpolation is often performed to reconstruct...
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...
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 ...
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 ...
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...
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...
