Synthesis of silyloxyacrolein for [4+3] cycloaddition and preparation of carbonate closomer
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Followed by Funk's method, I synthesized silyloxyacroleins and used them as dienophiles to react with different dienes in [4+3] cycloaddition reaction. These enals such as 2...
Engineering nanomaterials for cancer theranostics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
. The paucity is due to the challenge associated with the synthesis in assembling the components on a nanomaterial. We developed a universal methodology to overcome the synthetic difficulty and generated a library of peptide-targeted nanomaterial...
Existence and construction of real-valued equiangular tight frames
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
This paper presents results on real-valued equiangular tight frames (ETFs) and related topics. Some geometric theorems are developed, and aspects of frame theory are used to gain insight into ETFs. We develop a projection method for analyzing...

Secondary benefits of family member participation in treatments for childhood disorders : a multilevel meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
. In the present study, a three-level meta-analysis was used to (a) characterize the nature and quality of research on the secondary benefits of family-based treatments for childhood disorders, (b) synthesize the findings and estimate an overall effect size...
A-B-C-D regional profile
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division., 1973)
"This region teemed with activity a century ago then lost its zest at the turn of the century. Like many other areas that were so completely wedded to the agricultural economy, this area lost population and stature in the first two thirds...
Effects of late gestational copper, zinc, and manganese source and inclusion in beef cattle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
A study was conducted to determine the effects of source and inclusion of Cu, Zn, and Mn during late gestation on cow and calf mineral status, fetal growth, and offspring immune function and pre-weaning performance. Cows received 1 of 4 treatment...
