Steps for successful home canning
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2021)
. If you are new to canning (or need a refresher) please begin with MU Extension publication GH1451, Safe Home Canning Basics, to learn about preventing botulism and other key issues to be aware of when preserving food by home canning."--First page....
Degradation and transport of veterinary antibiotics and estrogens in a vegetated buffer strip system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Knowledge of veterinary antibiotic (VA) and estrogenic hormone persistence in soil is critical to understanding environmental risks associated with these potential contaminants. Understanding sorption and transport of the VAs sulfamethazine (SMZ...
The politics of CO2 emissions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Climate change poses a severe threat to humanity for the last few decades. Various forms of natural disasters, extreme weather events, the outbreak of deadly diseases, life, and food insecurity are among common threats of climate change...
Dissecting the genetic basis of carbohydrate partitioning in maize and sugarcane
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Carbohydrate partitioning, the process by which carbohydrates synthesized in the photosynthetic source tissues (mature leaves) are mobilized to non-photosynthetic (sink) tissues, such as roots, seeds, and developing organs ...
Investigation of the thermostability and activity of biomolecules in bio-friendly deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
DESs in an array of biomolecule-driven purposes and illustrate the versatility and potential of these unique, environmentally responsible solvents for next-generation biotechnological and biomedical applications....
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
temperature stability factor to our diet due to their high temperature tolerance. In line with sustainability standards, a newly developed variety at the University of Missouri and the USDA (non-GMO-HO soybean). The soybean processing industry generates...
Hormonal and genetic control of leaf and vein development in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Grasses (Poaceae) have successfully colonized diverse terrestrial ecosystems and impacted human civilization by producing the bulk of world food supply. The grass leaf is distinct for having a sheathing base and strap-like blade -- an evolutionary...
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 ...
Investigating the deleterious role of B lymphocytes during brucella infection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Brucellosis is a disease known for inducing chronic, often life-long, infections. While it is clear the host immune response fails to clear Brucella infection...
Implications of ovarian and uterine maturity evaluated in replacement heifer candidates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Profitability across the reproductive lifetime of a cow depends on reproductive success in the first breeding season and requires heifers to attain puberty prior to this time. Pre-breeding evaluations may be used to determine ...
Improving cardiac care delivery using predictive and prescriptive analytics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Endured by the growing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the demand for cardiac care services has increased. On the other hand, the supply of cardiologists is expected to be insufficient to meet this growing ...
Effects of chlorine and lactic acid treatments on chicken legs and chicken wings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
and wings from the sam e carcasses. The hypothesis was that there were no differences in quality (P < 0.05) due to treatments. Untreated chicken carcasses (N = 54) were obtained from a small abattoir, transported on ice to the university and evenly allocated...
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...
