Surface modification of hydroxyapatite particles for biomaterial applications [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
is to develop a method for modifying the surface of hydroxyapatite particles with nanometer scale features in order to improve the interaction between the particles and a polymer matrix that is widely employed in dental composites. This was done by adsorption...
Prediction of superhelical proteins using machine learning methods [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
apply each method individually and then integrate all three methods to obtain the most efficient and accurate prediction. We first apply the support vector machine (SVM), a feature-based approach that requires training on the set of positive and negative...
A habitat model to predict deer-vehicle accidents in Columbia, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
study will predict where deer occur by examining land cover and/or land use in an urban area in relation to deer-vehicle accidents. The unique feature of this study will concentrate on mapping detailed biotopes to better define deer habitat....
Target test tube assembly process and design for the development of molybdenum-99 [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
of the swaged tubes. This feature also assists in maintenance and the removal of jammed parts. Using an electron microscope, a gap between the swaged tubes was found using the current punch design. After extensive calculations, a new punch was designed...
How volume of water effects in morphological growth and number of endomycorrhizas on P. delicatum [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
of water. And then, I collected pre-data and post-data of morphological feature and number of endomycorrhizas. Unfortunately, I can't make a conclusion now. Because, I finished counting og the endomycorrhizas yesterday. So I need time to apply statistical...
The relation of childhood depressive symptoms to behavior during a speech task
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
and depression share many behavioral features, the present study extended this work by examining whether similar relations would be evident for child depressive symptoms. A sample of 79 third to sixth grade children completed self-report measures of anxiety...
QTL mapping of suppressor of plant blotching1, modifiers of an epiallele [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
pigmentation in Pl1-Blotched plants. This phenotype is correlated with higher levels of Pl1-Blotched mRNA and an altered pattern of DNA methylation on the Pl1-Blotched gene. These features suggest that the effect of Spb1 may be to epigenetically alter...

of the swaged tubes. This feature also assists in maintenance and the removal of jammed parts. Using an electron microscope, a gap between the swaged tubes was found using the current punch design. After extensive calculations, a new punch was designed...
The synthesis of peptide-PNA conjugates
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
In two long term studies of non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL), the only clinical feature associated with a high relapse rate and treatment resistance is the presence of the B-cell lymphoma/leukemia-2(bcl-2) proto-oncogene in an over-active state...
Novel inhibition mechanism and potent antiviral activity of translocation-deficient reverse transcriptase inhibitors [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Nucleoside RT inhibitors (NRTIs) are among the most potent anti-HIV agents and act as chain terminators because they lack a 3'OH. However, this feature can reduce affinity for RT compared to the analogous dNTP substrate, as well as reduced...
Functional analysis of MAP kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana: Fully rescuing the mpk3/mpk6 mutant phenotypes
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
. In an attempt to attain complete rescue of these phenotypes, new MPK3 and MPK6 constructs were engineered with the following features: • Transgenes regulated by endogenous promoters were used in order to maintain normal cell/tissue specific expression...
The effects of even-aged cutting on density and pairing success of Worm-eating Warblers
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
It is important for researchers to be aware of how timber management practices affect songbird populations. Certain forest management techniques can cause declines in breeding habitat of Neotropical migrant songbirds that ...
