Death and burial in ancient Alexandria: the Necropolis of Moustapha Pasha
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As study of the Alexandrian monumental rock-cut tombs in the eastern necropolis of Moustapha Pasha, leads to a re-examination of their artifacts, ...
Support Points of Locally Optimal Designs for Nonlinear Models with Two Parameters
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2009)
We propose a new approach for identifying the support points of a locally optimal design when the model is a nonlinear model. In contrast to the commonly used geometric approach, we use an approach based on algebraic tools. ...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
during the selectivity experiments with each system. During this research project, one system was found to be very selective for chelating Hg2+in the presence of other commonly found metal cations and could be detected from other complexes in the database...
Prospective radiolabled bombesin conjugates for prostate cancer imaging and therapeutic agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
An active area of prostate cancer research is in the synthesis of radiolabeled peptides for in vivo tumor imaging or therapy. This method is possible since specific receptors are expressed in high concentration on certain ...
Evolutionary dynamics while trapped in resonance: a Keplerian binary system perturbed by gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)
The method of averaging is used to investigate the phenomenon of capture into resonance for a model that describes a Keplerian binary system influenced by radiation damping and external normally incident periodic gravitational ...

Ab initio calculations of mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic structure properties of mullite, Iota-alumina and boron carbide
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-22)
-Al₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃. Boron carbide (B₄C) undergoes an amorphization under high velocity impacts. The mechanism of amorphization is not clear. Ab initio methods are used to carry out largescale uniaxial compression simulations on two polytypes...
Ab initio computational applications of electronic structure and spectroscopic Properties of bulk Crystalline materials
(2013)
in crystal structure of α-r-B12, γ-B28, α-t-B51, β-r-B106, and β-t-B190 all have three dominant characteristic peak features in the energy range of 195-215eV. This result was also observed in the ico-XANES spectra of B11C-CBC and B12O2 which are typical...
Structure-function studies of the staphylococcal complement inhibitor protein family
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
, experimental evidence shows that SCINs promote formation of inhibited convertase dimers (i.e., (SCIN/C3bBb)2) and inhibitor-enzyme-substrate complexes (i.e., (SCIN/C3bBb)/C3)) that sterically-mask the C3b binding sites of complement receptors expressed...

Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research, we estimated the decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet using the European Space Agency's ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite radar altimeter data over the time...
On the de la Garza Phenomenon
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2010)
and objective requires its own proof. The celebrated de la Garza Phenomenon states that under a (p − 1)th-degree polynomial regression model, any optimal design can be based on at most p design points, the minimum number of support points such that all...
Nutrients, chlorophyll and bacterial fecal indicators in coves and open water areas of Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Urban development and use of septic tanks in porous soils of Lake of the Ozarks poses a threat to public health via leaching into drinking wells and coves used for swimming. During 2 summers, phosphorus (TP), nitrogen (TN), chlorophyll (Chl), fecal...
A generalized approach for calculation of the eigenvector sensitivity for various eigenvector normalizations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Sensitivity analysis is an important step in any gradient based optimization problem. Eigenvalue and Eigenvector Sensitivity Analysis has been a major area for more than three decades in structural optimization. An efficient and generalized method...
Neutron diffraction studies on ABO₃ (A=La, Sr, B=Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Mn, Ti) perovskite used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) and double perovskite Ba₂YRu[0.85-subscript]Cu[0.15-subscript]O₆ superconductor
