Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation is focused on factors that increase risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) and the more advanced form nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These factors include postprandial lipid handling ...
Deep learning-based solutions for electron microscopy image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
microscopy plays a critical role in research, development, and diagnosis in many applications of biological, physical, chemical and material sciences. Thanks to advances in instrumentation, electron microscopy generates large amounts of complex data...
Fibrous soy protein meat analog from low moisture twin-screw extrusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Mixtures of soy protein isolate (SPI), defatted soy flour, and wheat flour were extruded at 34% (w.b.) moisture using a twin-screw extruder. A 3x3x3 ...
Deep learning for small object detection in images
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] With the rapid development of deep learning in computer vision, especially deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs), significant advances have been ...
Statistical Analysis of Resilience Distribution and Application to Rural Electric Distribution System subjected to Hurricane Wind
(2021)
Several mathematical frameworks and models are proposed to quantify the resilience of power systems against hurricane events. However, these frameworks contribute to the urban area's large-scale transmission system or ...
Agroforestry buffer, biomass crop, and grain crop effects on soil quality and soil water use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
and environmental challenges. Restoration of degraded soils by the adoption of recommended perennial vegetative management systems can rehabilitate watersheds and lead to enhancing soil health. Sustainable management practices such as trees, grasses, biomass crops...
Effects of differential and combinatorial inhibition of myostatin and activin A in the G610 murine model of osteogenesis imperfecta
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, reflecting the causative mutation in a human founder population exhibiting compromised skeletal health including decreased BMD and bone strength. We hypothesized that the inhibition of myostatin would improve muscular and skeletal properties in +/G610C +/mstn...
Resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of post-fledging grassland birds in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Current grassland management paradigms focus on addressing nesting requirements for grassland birds, but ignore post-fledging requirements. I described resource selection, movement patterns, and survival of dickcissels ...
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 ...
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 ...
Multi-hazard resilience assessment of river-crossing bridges
(2021)
Bridge structures are required to possess high reliability and robustness against the concurrent effect of extreme loads and environmental attacks. To achieve such interrelated goals, it is necessary to assess the system performance and resilience...
Patient adherence to orthopaedic treatment plans : toward patient-centered definitions, measurement, and management
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Patient adherence to prescribed management protocols is associated with improved function, higher patient satisfaction, and lower complication rates following orthopaedic treatments. While adherence ...
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 ...
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
The study was conducted in the Valle and Choluteca Districts of Southern Honduras in 1974. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify input-output relationships for selected crops; (2) determine current and potential ...
