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 ...
Teaching interns' level of proficiency of the MoSTEP quality indicators at the beginning and completion of the teaching internship
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The amount of growth and development by teaching interns on the MoSTEP quality indicators during the student teaching internship has not been studied intently. In addition, the use of teacher certification measures as predictors of performance...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors

High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
The variable RS Cassicpeiae (108.1904)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
by Miss Whitney at the Vassar College Observatory, A. N. No. 4050, confirmed the variation and gave a range in brightness of 9.m7 to 10.m4. The following provisional elements, based upon observations made here, were announced in Laws Observatory Bulletin...
Synthethic pathways to multiple surface functionalization of polyhedral boranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The chemistry of dodecahydro--closo--dodecaborate(2-), closo-[B12H12]2-, and decahydro-closo-decaborate(2-), [B10H10]2-, with different organic substituents was investigated...
Alkene-oxo and alkene-alkene coupling on Pt(II)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Tetranuclear Pt(II) oxo-complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]3-O)2Cl2](BF4)2 (1) (COD = 1,5- cyclooctadiene) was found to readily react with a variety of alkenes (ethylene, norbornene, propylene and cyclopentene). The most significant discovery resulted from...
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...
Theranostic and matched pair radionuclides as radiopharmaceutical as for imaging and radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
was developed. This new trithiol chelate was conjugated to the RM2 peptide (a GRP receptor antagonist) through a two serine (Ser) spacer. The trithiol(b)-(Ser)2-RM2 conjugate was radiolabeled with no carrier added 77As and conditions were optimized to maximize...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
and biological applications. As a two-dimensional material, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has drawn wide attention due to its fascinating properties and exciting application prospects. However, in order to access these properties, which lie within single- or few...
Sex variability
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
The question of variation has long been of interest to scientists. Since the time of Darwin we find investigators endeavoring to determine which sex is the more variable. In a well known controversy on this subject between ...
Forecasting wind speeds at tall tower heights within Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Forecasting of wind speeds is necessary for the planning and operations of the wind power generating plants. This research investigates the short term forecasting of wind speeds at tall tower heights for stations within Missouri: Columbia, Neosho...
