Development of high protein soybean experimental lines with enhanced sulfur amino acid content
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
. Most of the soybean produced in the U.S. is utilized for oil production and animal feed. Even though soybean is a rich source of protein for livestock and humans, the nutritional quality of soybean can be further enhanced if the concentration of sulfur...
Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
(liquid chromatography mass spectrometry) were used to track the synthesis of CERs within hepatic tissues of mice consuming 13C3 15N L-serine dissolved in their water and a high fat (60 percent energy, HFD) or a control (low fat, 20 percentE, CD) diet...
Effects of hip joint orientation and skeletal torsion on human locomotor biomechanics and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
and locomotor performance in living humans has left a weak base upon which to build hypotheses of performance from morphology in fossil hominins. In this thesis, I address these problems through several analyses that quantify the 3D orientation of the hip joint...
Mechanisms of polar growth in the alphaproteobacterial order rhizobiales
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
characterized a comprehensive set of cell wall synthesis enzymes in A. tumefaciens and identified penicillin-binding protein 3a (PBP3a) and PBP3b as a synthetic lethal pair that function during cell division, and PBP1a as an essential enzyme required for polar...

An evaluation of the need for critically refined purification procedures in fluorescent carbon dot syntheses : the ramifications of the ubiquitous presence of reaction by-products on quenchometric and light harvesting applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Fluorescent carbon dots constitute a novel and intriguing class of nanocarbons that display unique optical properties and can be purportedly generated from virtually any carbon-containing source. For example, the thermal pyrolysis of human urine...
Characterization of diverse soybean genotypes for phosphorus uptake and use efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) is one of the most important legume crops grown worldwide. However, without phosphorus (P) fertilization, soybean yields often are limited by phosphorus availability. Phosphorus is an ...
Merging technology development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with biological investigation of Medicago truncatularoot exudates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] "New commercial ion mobility instrumentation has the potential to improve current analytical techniques, but developments need to be applicable to ...
Deep learning for small object detection in images
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
object detection, including YOLOv3, Faster R-CNN, and SSD, were evaluated based on three large benchmark image datasets of small objects. Experimental results showed that Faster R-CNN performed the best, while YOLOv3 was a close second. Furthermore, a new...
Biotic interactions in the fossil record: an investigation on the patterns of predation and parasitism of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] The present study investigated for patterns of predation and parasitism among a collection of Plio-Pleistocene bivalves from the Nashua Formation of Florida. The processed sample yielded 2010 ...
Copper (I) coordination networks synthesized with solid-solid reactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
of the solid-solid reaction mechanism. The crystalline reagents led to crystalline products with no amorphous phase. The nitrogen containing bridging ligands, 4,7-phenanthroline, 4,4'- dipyridyl, and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridy1)ethylene in addition to 1,3-dithiane...
Data combining using mixtures of g-priors with application on county-level female breast cancer prevalence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
As more and more data are available, data synthesis has become an indispensable task for researchers. From a Bayesian perspective, this dissertation includes three related projects and aims at quantifying the benefits of ...
