(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
similar to high energy electrons (beta particles) with a maximum energy of 1.07 MeV, along with a 137 keV gamma ray (9%); Re-188 has a half-life of 17 h and emits beta particles of 2.1 MeV maximum energy, along with a 155 keV gamma ray (15%). The beta...
Technetium and rhenium (I and V) complexes for radiopharmaceutical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Technetium and rhenium have radioactive isotopes that are clinically useful for diagnostic (Tc-99m) or therapeutic (Re-186/188) purposes. This makes them attractive candidates for incorporation into pharmaceuticals. One way to incorporate...
Effects of expressing emotion and altering loco color in organizational crisis responses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
was conducted with 188 participants. The experimental stimuli were crisis response messages in the form of Facebook posts from four existing airline companies, including Air France, Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, and Germanwings, in response to their real...
On the astromineralogy of the 13 [mu]m feature in the spectra of oxygen-rich AGB stars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Approximately half the oxygen-rich AGB stars to be investigated spectroscopically exhibit a feature at 13 [mu]. The carrier of this feature has not yet been unequivocally identified, but has been attributed to various dust ...
Orogeny-modified lithosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
One of the major mantle reservoirs on Earth is the continental lithospheric mantle. Our understanding of the early continental lithosphere sometimes is limited by its subsequent complex history. Continental tracts can be ...
Social perceptions of speech : a study of student awareness of standard American English and one rural Missouri variant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The following research examines how college students perceive a non-SAE dialect. Participants (n=188) responded to eight audio-recorded SAE and non-SAE statements featuring two male native non-SAE speakers as well as eight typed SAE and non...
Transport, network, and data link layer protocol designs to improve geo-stationary Earth orbit satellite data set transmission performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Geo-stationary earth orbit (CEO) satellites are wireless transmission media that provide near-earth Internet and Intranet data communication, but are limited to low Megabits per second transmission rates and small messages. ...
Modeling and simulation of a segmented thermoelectric generator
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
the TEG geometry. It was found that the original model can be further optimized. After optimization, the output power increases from 188.2mW to 354.7mW, 703.13mW, and 212.85mW, respectively. Conversion efficiency increases from 1.66 percent to 2.08 percent...
Utilizing and experimental and computational approach to ligand design for chelating oxorhenium(V) and oxotechnetium(V)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
in vivo. This work aims to identify a bifunctional chelate(s) that will 1) complex [superscript 186/188]Re[superscript V] in the chelator, 2) deliver the therapeutic radionuclide to tumor tissue, and 3) prevent the loss of the metal in vivo. A...
Genetic and physical interactions of Arabidopsis TOPLESS related 2 with regulators of plant innate immunity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Plants are constantly subjected to attack from pathogens. In order to defend themselves, plants have evolved a robust immune system. However, activation ...
Structure-activity relationship of octreotide analogues labeled with rhenium and technetium-99m
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The goal of this research is to cyclize octreotide analogues with ⁹⁹[supersript-m]Tc and ¹⁸⁶/¹⁸⁸Re radiometals to be used as diagnostic and therapeutic agents for neuroendocrine tumors, respectively. Several series of octreotide analogues...
