Two essays on new B2B sales incentive mechanisms for enhancing selling effectiveness and coordinating inside and outside sales forces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
cooperation between inside and outside salespeople of business-to-business (B2B) sales organizations I propose and analytically demonstrate the benefits of a new joint compensation system. This proposed new compensation system is designed to facilitate...
Ligands for the sigma receptor and the mu-opioid receptor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The sigma receptor is a unique receptor family with two subtypes: sigma-1 and sigma-2. In order to conduct structure-activity relationship studies (SAR), a series of specific 1-phenylpropyl-4-benzylpiperidine and 1-phenylpropyl-4- benzylpiperazine...
Arsenic-72, 77 as a matched pair radiopharmaceutical for imaging and radiotherapy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
). Radioimmunoimaging and therapy commonly use antibodies (or antibody fragments) as targeting biomolecules, and may take a few days to accumulate in tumor cells. Thus they require radionuclides with longer half-lives. Arsenic-72 ([beta]+, 26 hour half-life) and 77As...
Part I: Synthesis of functionalized bile acids towards the construction of steroidal macrocycles. Part II: Evaluation and expansion of a modular card game for teaching organic chemistry
(2019)
macrocycles. These have been coupled together via oxygen-free Sonogashira reaction conditions to form large barrel-like steroidal architectures. These structures were investigated by 1H NMR, 13C NMR spectroscopy, and HR-MS, and MALDI-TOF spectroscopy. In part...
Debt types and burdens by family structures
(2020)
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine family structure differences in debt types and burdens of American families. Design/methodology/approach: Data are obtained from the 2016 Survey of Consumer Finances. Eight types of family structures...
Anisotropic organic materials : ferroelectric crystals and spin-polarized radicals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is analyzed with various methods. Toward quasienantiomeric non-linear crystals, 1- methyl-1,3,6-triphenyl-7-(E-2-phenylpropenyl)-1,2-dihydronaphthalene is probed in molecular interactions, synthesis, and chiral separation. In Chapter...
Computational studies of three chemical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
are examined to better understand the process by which self-assembly of the nanocapsule occurs. The second topic is the study of the addition of H2O and O2 to vanadyl complexes of the form [VOX(NCCH3)]+ where X = F-, Cl-, Br-, I-, and OH-. Changing the identity...
Structure-function studies of the staphylococcal complement inhibitor protein family
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
of the complement cascade, called C3b. Among these complement-targeted bacterial inhibitors, are the so-called Staphylococcal Complement Inhibitors (SCINs). SCINs are of particular interest because they stabilize a catalytically-inactive form of the key enzymatic...
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...
Structural studies of flavoprotein inhibitors and inactivators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
by T2C was slow, it led us to the discovery of two related inactivators of PRODH: tetrahydrothiophene-2-carboxylate (C2C) and 1,3-dithiolane-2-carboxylate (D2C), presented in Chapter 2. The inactivators D2C and C2C differed from T2C by only one atom...

(2014-09-30)
The term “MAX phase” refers to a very interesting and important class of
layered ternary transition-metal carbides and nitrides with a novel combination of both
metal- and ceramic-like properties that have made these ...
Deantiaromatization as a driving force in an electrocyclization of cyclopentadienone and the total synthesis of 1-epi-esco-pseudopteroxazole
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. In the course of reductive cleavage of the C-I bond to access key intermediate 358, a novel dephenylation of Harmata benzothiazines was discovered to provide chiral cyclic sulfinamides with complete stereocontrol. Preliminary mechanistic studies were carried out...
Which lifestyle interventions effectively lower LDL cholesterol?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2007)
Counseling, weight loss, exercise, and drinking alcohol all effectively lower low- density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Specifically, one to 2 daily drinks of alcohol lowers L DL-C, if consumed regularly for more than 4 weeks (strength...
