Youth gardening activity : designing a butterfly garden
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2021)
Methods for improved kinematic measurements of the lower extremities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
An understanding of knee dynamics is vital to treat neurological and musculoskeletal conditions that affect the lower extremities and achieve peak performance from athletes. To obtain and analyze kinematics and kinetics ...
Lifestyle treatment in the regression of NASH: insulin resistance, lipid synthesis, and methodological innovation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
This dissertation is focused on factors that increase risk for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NALFD) and the more advanced form nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). These factors include postprandial lipid handling ...
Valorization of purple corn pericarp using two-pot emerging thermal and non-thermal extraction technologies and evaluation of product quality, structure, and bioactivity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The pericarp of purple corn has traditionally been thought of as being a byproduct. However, it is an excellent source of high-value polyphenols (such as anthocyanins, proanthocyanins, etc.) that could be extracted and ...
Effects of hip joint orientation and skeletal torsion on human locomotor biomechanics and evolution
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] Bipedal locomotion is a defining feature of the human lineage. However, the form of bipedality in different hominin taxa and the timing of emergence of a human-like striding bipedal gait have ...
Investigation of Process–Structure–Property Correlations for Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited Complex Disordered Solids: Towards Data-Driven Computational Materials Design
(2023)
Complex disordered solids, characterized by multicomponent, multiphase, sub-structured configurations, coupled with a lack of long-range order, represent an application-rich class of materials, exhibiting a vast number of ...
A custom oligonucleotide microarray analysis as a tool for dissecting soybean-bradyrhizobium japonicum nodule senescence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean root nodules are symbiotic organs housing Bradyrhizobium japonicum, a soil bacterium that reduces atmospheric nitrogen to ammonium. The bacterium receives carbon...
On the role of the purinergic receptor P2Y2R in oral cancer and salivary gland dysfunction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Due to the important roles the oral cavity plays in our daily lives ranging from eating and drinking to speech, diseases of the oral cavity significantly impact the quality of life. Oral cancers ...
Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Plant genetic engineering relies on the ability to transmit and express cloned DNA sequences in plant cells (transformation) as well as the capacity for the cells carrying this DNA to undergo division and differentiation ...
The politics of CO2 emissions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Climate change poses a severe threat to humanity for the last few decades. Various forms of natural disasters, extreme weather events, the outbreak of deadly diseases, life, and food insecurity are among common threats of ...
The impact analysis of structural change in Korean agriculture with respect to the Korean-United States free trade agreement : dynamic simultaneous equation model approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The main objective of this study is the analysis of the impacts of the Korean-United States Free Trade Agreement. On April 2, 2007, Korea and the United States concluded a...
Hormonal regulation of bone health: novel understandings of xenoestrogens and estrogen receptor-[alpha]
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Estrogen is one of the most influential hormones on bone growth and maintenance throughout the life cycle in both men and women, but there are still unknown roles of estrogen and the estrogen receptors in males. In addition, ...
