Ultra-wideband miniaturized microstrip patch antennas for wireless communications: design guidelines and modeling
(2013)
and radiation pattern of the UWB microstrip patch antenna is extensively investigated with simulations using FEKO. A set of simple design guidelines is proposed to provide approximate rules that result in optimum "first-pass" designs of probe-fed, miniaturized...
Gravitomagnetic Jets
(arXiv, 2010)
We present a family of dynamic rotating cylindrically symmetric Ricci-flat gravitational fields whose geodesic motions have the structure of gravitomagnetic jets. These correspond to helical motions of free test particles ...
Structural variation at the KIT locus is responsible for the piebald phenotype in Hereford and Simmental cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
animals homozygous and heterozygous for spotted and non-spotted alleles or extensive experimentation with developing embryos....
Predictors of academic success for conditionally admitted first-time freshmen at a four-year public university
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This quantitative study examined a sample of 249 conditionally admitted firsttime freshman at a four year public university to answer four research questions pertaining to the potential prediction of academic success and college retention...
The early imperial ceramics as evidence for life at Roman Sardis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Historical testimonia tell us that in the year 17 CE, an earthquake struck in Western Asia Minor and destroyed the city of Sardis. Recent excavations in the Field 49, Field 55...
Taphonomic characteristics of fossils on the burgessshale-type spectrum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
"Study of exceptional fossil preservation tends to yield exciting results. Since soft-bodied organisms and the soft tissues of biomineralizing organisms are usually not preserved in the fossil record, instances of soft-tissue ...
Factors that influence the movement of Cauliflower mosaic virus in susceptible and resistant plants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Since the first description of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), it has been the subject of many research papers, both as a model system for plant molecular virology...
A remote sensing analysis of the grand river grasslands using sentinel-2 satellite imagery : a comparison of land-use / land-cover classifications using per-pixel and object-oriented procedures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The important prerequisites for the proper use of land is to know how the land is covered and how it is being used currently. In this study, land-use and land...

Architectural coin types : reflections of Roman society
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Architectural representations on Roman coins are among the most intensely studied images on ancient coins. Scholars frequently use them as evidence to reconstruct a monument...
Structural inferences for reverse transcribing viruses and drug resistance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] As we narrowly focus on the fundamental questions of our respective systems it is important to interact with the broader scientific community to gain greater perspective...
Imaging-based customization of lattice structures for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Synovial joints can provide movement and articulation, however, with overuse, aging, and trauma, joint replacement surgeries may be needed. Commercially available joint...
A thousand TV shows : applying a rhizomatic lens to television genres
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
One frequent technique for studying television is through genre. However, with the complex television environment of the 21st century, many genre studies do not adequately account for how generic television programs intersect ...
Development of post-traumatic osteoarthritis models to evaluate the effects of impact injury on joint health for clinical disease treatment and prevention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common, debilitating, musculoskeletal diseases in the world. Currently, there is no cure. It is well-known that a traumatic, joint injury increases the risk of developing post-traumatic ...

(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Osteoarthritis (OA) is an extremely common joint disease, which affects more than one-third of all adults in the USA. Although the entire joint compartments are involved, OA...
The use of massively parallel sequencing to study the virome, epigenome and genome of canine and feline cancers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The remarkable advancements in sequencing technologies have allowed the entire mutational landscape of hundreds of different types of human cancers to be defined. This knowledge gives patients two new categories of treatment ...
