The use of pluripotent stem cells as a model for early human placentation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Throughout gestation, the placenta plays a critical role in ensuring proper development of the fetus. The placenta functions to exchange nutrients, oxygen, and fetal waste...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
The synthesis and characterization of 1,1'-disubstituted ferrocene imine Schiff base ligand systems for use as potential environmental heavy metal cationic sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
through three means: proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). While a working universal heavy metal sensor was not achieved during this research project, it advanced the progress...
Synthesis and reactivity of low-valent uranium and neptunium complexes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Chapter 1 reports the synthesis and characterization of U(IV) and Np(IV) selenium bis(phenolate) complexes. The reaction of the U(IV) complex with half an equivalent of p-benzoquinone results in the formation of a U(V)--U(V) species with a bridging...
Monte Carlo neutronic simulations for a new approach to parametric INAA and Mo-99 production feasibility at MURR
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
A novel approach to parametric instrumental neutron activation analysis at MURR has been established. In particular, a detailed MCNP5 steady-state model of the MURR core was developed. The model, which was based on the ...
Ammonia elimination from protonated nucleobases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The dediazoniations of the diazonium ion 1 of 4-aminopyrimidine and of the tautomeric cytosinediazonium ions 2 and 3 are facile and result in the formations of cations 4, 5, and 6. The pyrimidine ring-opening of 4, 5 and ...
Applications of elemental analysis for archaeometric studies : analytical and statistical methods for understanding geochemical trends in ceramics, ochre and obsidian
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
, including INAA, and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Multivariate statistics of the data point to trends in the inter- and intra-source variability of ochre. Elemental results from Missouri, California, Oregon, Texas, Arizona, and Peru have been...
Prospective radiolabled bombesin conjugates for prostate cancer imaging and therapeutic agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
An active area of prostate cancer research is in the synthesis of radiolabeled peptides for in vivo tumor imaging or therapy. This method is possible since specific receptors are expressed in high concentration on certain ...
Anion and solvent influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
The investigation of solvent and anion influences on the self-assembly of copper(I) coordination solids are presented. As these extended solids vary in structural design as reactions conditions are varied, both those ...
Atomic-scale studies of chemical and transport processes relevant to propellant combustion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Density functional theory (DFT) and correlated molecular orbital electronic structure calculations were used to study the Al + CO2 [subscript arrow] AlO + CO reaction...
