A proteomic approach for studying LTR retrotransposon host factors in saccharomyces cerevisae
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-01-20)
The Ty retrotransposons of S. cerevisiae are mobile elements that resemble retroviruses, both in their genetic structures and replication cycles. Ty retrotransposition begins in the nucleus with the transcription of Ty RNA. Following translation...
Mechanizing the metatheory of rewire
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The [lambda]-calculus provides a simple, well-established framework for research in functional programming languages that readily lends itself to the use offormal methods--that is, the use of mathematically sound techniques ...
Analytical study of the spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves method at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method is an accepted means of measuring shear wave velocity (VS). In some settings, SASW measurements have produced results that were inconsistent with results from other ...
State police jurisdiction in the United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1947)
"At the outset of this study of the present jurisdiction of each of the state police organizations of the Unites States, it will be worthwhile to consider some of the factors which brought the state trooper into the state ...
Harmonic wavelet analysis of surface waves at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The use of stress wave-based geophysical methods in geotechnical engineering has continued to grow and is now a routine component of many geotechnical site investigation programs. Surface wave methods, in particular, are ...
The legal phase of monopolies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1898)
In the treatment of monopolies it is, perhaps, very properly conceded that some attention be paid to the Labor Question. Such a conclusion is based upon a twofold consideration: 1st because modern economists have placed ...
Bayes factor consistency in linear models when p grows with n
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation examines consistency of Bayes factors in the model comparison problem for linear models. Common approaches to Bayesian analysis of ...
Examining positive schizotypy's relationship with openness facets, maladaptive openness, and other maladaptive traits
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 12/1/2024] Positive schizotypy is a trait reflecting increased risk for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders and includes symptoms such as magical beliefs and unusual perceptual experiences. The normative ...
Hierarchical spatio-temporal models for environmental processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The processes governing environmental systems are often complex, involving different interacting scales of variability in space and time. The complexities and often high dimensionality of such spatio-temporal processes can ...
The English towns and the War of the Roses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
Text from page 5: "The growth, material progress and political power of the English towns in the fifteenth century may claim some attention. In this study nothing is more noticeable than the gradual breaking up of the ...
Differential roles for hedgehog signaling in motor neuron development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Induction of neurons in the correct number and location is essential for the proper development and function of a nervous system. Signaling mediated by the Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted proteins plays a vital role in ...
The diplomacy of the congress of Berlin

First paragraph of the Conclusion section of this thesis: A study of the diplomacy of the Congress of Berlin, necessarily, calls for a brief review of tha work of the Congress and some notice of its more important features. ...
The mental and physical development of rural children
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1918)
