Investigation of K₀ NAA at MURR and investigation of the toenail as a biomonitor for Mg, Zn, Cu, Se and Hg
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Chapter 1: The K[subscript 0] method of neutron activation analysis (INAA) requires a stable core and neutron flux parameterization. The stability of the reactor core at MURR...
Investigation of CO2 capture systems, Lewis acid-base pairs, and oscillating reactions with electronic structure theory and kinetics-based approaches
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Equilibrium is a key theme in chemistry education. Starting in high school and continuing in freshman general chemistry courses, STEM students have to learn the foundations of equilibria. What is the key concept of an equilibrium? How can we...
Evaluating the suitability of the human toenail as a biomonitor for manganese status: the one source cohort
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the human toenail is a reliable biomonitor for the intake of Se and other elements. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that Mn intake is reflected in toenail ...
Structural supramolecular constructs of spheres and tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This thesis examines four different molecular systems that are in part or substrates for larger structural motifs that resemble spheres or tubes. The first project used donut shaped cucurbituril and through functionalization ...
Technetium and rhenium schiff base complexes for nuclear medicine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
This dissertation investigates the synthesis of rhenium and technetium Schiff base complexes for potential applications in nuclear medicine. In Chapter 2, a series of mixed ligand Re(III) complexes of the form trans-[Re(PR3)2(tmf2en)]+ were prepared...
