practice regulations on access to care. The specific aim of this study is to examine the relation between different levels of state NP practice regulation and access to care in the Medicare population. The design of the study is a secondary data analysis...
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...
Macroinvertebrate assemblage composition along a longitudinal multiple-land-use gradient in a midwestern stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Land use changes often alter hydrogeomorphology and hydrologic flow regimes, which can adversely impact stream aquatic biota. Hinkson Creek Watershed (HCW, 231km2) located in Boone County, central Missouri, is comprised of 50% agriculture, 26...
Multi-scale self-assembly of nanoenergetic materials utilizing functionalized graphene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
with Al and Bi2O3 nanoparticles, the FGO/Al/Bi2O3 showed a 60% enhancement in energy release and an all-solid-state reaction between Al and Bi2O3 as the fluorine significantly weakened the alumina shell protecting Al core. Iodinated reduced graphene oxide...
Investigation of the performance of an automatic arterial oxygen controller

, manual adjustment of FiO2 is the common practice in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). The automation of this adjustment is a topic of interest. The research team, at University of Missouri-Columbia (UMC), has developed a novel automatic arterial...
Synthesis of rhenium complexes as models for new sigma receptor imaging agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
) studies, new sigma Tc-⁹⁹[superscript m] sigma receptor imaging agents were designed. Tc-⁹⁹ [superscript m] imaging agents provide the advantages for routing clinical use due to its ideal nuclear properties (t₁/₂=6 hours and 140 keV gamma photon emission...
Molecular mechanism, binding free energy, and sequence selectivity of intercalation of doxorubicin and DNA
(2021)
selectivity depends mainly on the base pairs located downstream from the DOX intercalation site, with a preference for (AT)2 or (TA)2 driven by the favorable electrostatic and/or van der Waals interactions. Invoking the quartet sequence model proved to be most...
