Collection and storage of biosolids (2017)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2017)
The politics of CO2 emissions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
in responding to tackling climate change problems. Therefore, investment and strategic intervention for maintaining institutional quality and adopting institutional reform where needed merit more in-depth research initiatives....
Periconceptional, gestational, and lactational exposure to unconventional oil and gas chemical mixture alters energy expenditure in adult female mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Unconventional oil and gas (UOG) processes involves injection of pressurized water, chemicals, and suspended solids thousands of feet under the surface to release natural gas...
Soil surface-seal measurement using high-resolution x-ray computed tomography (HRCT)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Rainfall on bare soil breaks soil aggregates, detaching particles, plugging pores and decreasing porosity in the top few mm of soil. This reduces hydraulic conductivity and increases runoff through a process known as surface ...
Program assessment : industrial hygiene and safety sciences
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Program assessment has long been a critical element for academic programs to ensure continuous quality improvement of their programs. More recently, occupational safety, health and environmental programs have embraced assessment by external groups...
Specific bio-modeling and analysis techniques at cellular and systems level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Modeling approaches are developed for two different levels, cellular (Part I) and systems (Part II), and used to develop insights into system performance. PART I consists of three chapters focusing on computational ...
Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The dediazoniations of the diazonium ion 1 of 4-aminopyrimidine and of the tautomeric cytosinediazonium ions 2 and 3 are facile and result in the formations of cations 4, 5, and 6. The pyrimidine ring-opening of 4, 5 and ...
Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of actinide complexes bearing An-E bonds (An = Th, U; E = P, As)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Organoactinide complexes bearing An-E (An = Th, U; E = P, As) bonds were synthesized and reactivity studies were performed with various unsaturated and industrially/environmentally relevant small molecules in an effort to elucidate further...
Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The use of solid-solid reactions in the development of one-, two-, and three dimensional Cu(I) coordination networks are discussed. The solid-solid reactions were monitored by a variety of instrumental techniques to achieve ...
Exploring the impact of peracetic acid on bacterial regrowth and plasmid release and developing a novel whole-cell biosensor to monitor the expression of quorum sensing genes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Peracetic acid (PAA or CH3COOOH) is a promising alternative to chlorine-based disinfectants for water and wastewater treatment due to its strong antimicrobial properties and low...
Assessment and diversity of fish communities in non-wadeable tributaries of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
complexity and immensity of rivers. I conducted three extensive studies in non-wadeable tributaries of the lower Missouri and middle Mississippi rivers (Missouri, USA) to illuminate processes structuring riverine fish communities. In Chapter 2, I tested...
Undergraduate catalog, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2001-03
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2001)
Effects of a consortia probiotic inoculant on soil microorganisms and impacts on autoinducers employed in quorum sensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
to degrade autoinducers involved in QS in soil-borne pathogens. The first efficacy was assayed in Central Missouri during growing season of 2012. Soils under two management situations were studied: cultivated soil and restored grassland. Samples from...
Development of Amino Acid-Modified Drug Delivery Systems for RNA Delivery in Cancer Therapeutics
(2022)
The primary objective of my research is to develop polymer and lipid-based nanoparticles to effectively deliver therapeutic RNAs for life-threatening diseases. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are ...
Graduate catalog, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2001-2003
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1999)
Valorization of purple corn pericarp using two-pot emerging thermal and non-thermal extraction technologies and evaluation of product quality, structure, and bioactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
the phenolic profiles, antioxidant properties, product quality, and structural characteristics of the recovered extracts. According to Plackett-Burman design (PBD) screening, the critical extraction variables identified were acetic acid concentration...
Effects of prescribed fire on forest soil properties in the Ozark Highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
/Forest Hills Land Type Association in the Black River Basin of southern Missouri. Weathered from Roubidoux sandstone and Gasconade dolomite, soils at the study sites contain large quantities of coarse fragments and reduced nutrient content. In 2015, fire...
An empirical approach to exploring the role of selective incentives in mitigating the free rider problem
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The concept of free riding has been recognized as a challenge facing collective action organizations for centuries. However, the term free riding has been used to describe a range of alternative problematic actions and ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. Whereas high oxidation state ions dominate environmental speciation, the corresponding high-valent organometallics are rare. These hexa- and pentavalent ions are often stabilized by the isoelectronic oxo or imido ligands, which result in robust molecular...
