Solvent effects on the monolayer structure of long n-alkane molecules adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1995)
Neutron diffraction patterns of dotriacontane ( n-C32D66) monolayers adsorbed on an exfoliated graphite substrate from a heptane ( n-C7D16) solution reveal striking differences in the molecular orientation, lattice constant, ...
Application of empirical interatomic potentials to the calculation of the structure and dynamics of paraffin molecules adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1979)
The adsorption of a single molecule of ethane, propane, and butane on a basal-plane surface of graphite is investigated using empirically derived carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon potentials. The principal motivation for ...
Structure and growth of butane films adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1994)
The structure of deuterated n-butane [CD3(CD2)2CD3] adsorbed on the (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate has been investigated by elastic neutron diffraction. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect ...
Intramolecular and lattice melting in n-alkane monolayers : an analog of melting in lipid bilayers
(American Physical Society, 1999)
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on n-dotriacontane ( n-C32D66) monolayers adsorbed on a graphite basal- plane surface. The diffraction experiments show little ...
Design of an Epidemiologic Study of Drinking Water Arsenic Exposure and Skin and Bladder Cancer Risk in a U.S. Population
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1999)
. In the first 793 households tested, arsenic concentrations ranged from undetectable (0.01 [mu]g/l) to 180 [mu]g/l. Over 10% of the private wells contained levels above 10 [mu]g/l and 2.5% were above 50 [mu]g/l. Based on our projected sample size, we expect...

Intramolecular diffusive motion in alkane monolayers studied by high-resolution Quasielastic Neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulations
(American Physical Society, 2004)
Molecular dynamics simulations of a tetracosane (n-C24H50) monolayer adsorbed on a graphite basal-plane surface show that there are diffusive motions associated with the creation and annihilation of gauche defects occurring ...

A cancer patient tells her story, as an unprecedented array of researchers across campus is developing the latest prospects for surviving the disease....
Nanoscale observation of delayering in alkane films
(Institute of Physics, 2007)
Tapping-mode Atomic Force Microscopy and synchrotron X-ray scattering measurements on dotriacontane (n-C32H66 or C32) films adsorbed on SiO2-coated Si(100) wafers reveal a narrow temperature range near the bulk C32 melting ...
Studies of the structure and growth mode of dotriacontane films by synchrotron x-ray scattering and molecular dynamics simulations
(Institute of Physics, 2004)
We report on synchrotron x-ray scattering experiments and molecular dynamics simulations of the structure and growth mode of dotriacontane (n-C32H66 or C32) films adsorbed on Ag(111) and SiO2-coated Si(100) substrates. On ...
Quasielastic neutron scattering and molecular dynamics simulation studies of the melting transition in butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on graphite
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)
on butane and hexane monolayers adsorbed on an exfoliated graphite substrate. For butane, quasielastic scattering broader than the experimental energy resolution width of 70 [mu]eV appears abruptly at the monolayer melting point of Tm = 116 K, whereas...
Roll-out of the "Mizzou Advantage"
(University of Missouri, 2009)
Approximately three years ago, MU began an exercise to define "strategic advantages" that could place the University within higher education in an extremely strong, competitive position. The idea was to identify MU's competitive advantages...

Researchers gang up on heart disease
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1968)
"At the University of Missouri, no one suggests that the Medical Center at Columbia is ready to try a human heart transplant of its own. But research and treatment of heart disease are going forward on many fronts."--Page 3...
Humble families, humble beginnings
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2014)
In 1839, about 900 Boone County residents donated cash or land to bring the University of Missouri to Columbia. Although 15 of the donations were $1,000 or more, nearly half of them, 429, were $25 or less. These founding families likely had little...

Polymorphisms in Nucleotide Excision Repair Genes, Arsenic Exposure, and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer in New Hampshire
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)
Arsenic exposure may alter the efficiency of DNA repair. UV damage is specifically repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and common genetic variants in NER may increase risk for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We ...
