Blog entry about human skin. Posted on September 6, 2008.
Pneumatic Tube System Sampler Sealer Design & Prototype for Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Neutron Activation Analysis (INAA) was discovered in 1936, since then this sensitive tool has been used to determine elemental compositions in a variety of sample matrices in the low parts per billion (ppb) range. Researchers ...
The affects of genistein on the Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacterial transcriptome [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Bradyrhizobium japonicum forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the soybean plant (Glycine max). This bacterium is of great importance because of its ability to provide the soybean with a source of nitrogen by ...
Identification and deconvolution of overlapped peaks derived from raw 2D PAGE images [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
A standard approach for the analytical separation of proteins in the field of proteomics is the use of two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE), which separates a complex crude protein samples from a ...
Molecular mechanisms by which citrus flavonoids regulate cholesterol transport processes in the liver [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
The American Heart Association estimates that cardiovascular disease will claim the lives of nearly two and a half million Americans in 2006. To combat high cholesterol, one of the most common causes of cardiovascular ...
Creation of a gene selection method using a Ste13-Cps1 construct in S. cerevisiae [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
The trans-Golgi network (TGN) reporter protein A-ALP, which is composed of the luminal (LD) and transmembrane domain (TMD) of TGN resident protein ALP fused to the cytosolic domain (CD) of Ste13, allows us to detect its ...
Bioinformatics analyses of 10 allergen proteins in peanuts [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Food allergies affect up to 8% of children and 2% of adults, and peanut allergies are one of the most prevalent and enduring. To understand the mechanisms and how they interact with antibodies it is important to analyze ...
Comparison of tumor imaging using antibody pretargeting and conventional methods [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
One of the newer methods for imaging and treating cancer is pretargeting. Pretargeting is a relatively simple concept to understand. First, a non-radioactive antibody conjugated to streptavidin is injected into the blood ...
Dimensions of the college-choice decision [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Making decisions is a part of our everyday lives. However, research has focused little on the dimensions of the decision itself as a predictor of decision making behavior. A review of the literature found that much research ...
Advancement of TRISO Nuclear Fuel Coaters for High Temperature Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors: Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy [abstract]
(2009-04)
The success on nuclear energy produced by advanced high temperature gas reactors (AGRs) is dependent on tri-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particle coating. Today modern AGRs require essentially zero defective/failed coated ...
Advanced Biomimetic Materials for Reversible CO2 Capture from Air [abstract]
(2009)
The world is rightly focused on climate change. The U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC) identified carbon capture and storage (CSS) as a critical technology for reducing emissions, not
only from power ...
Novel design of multiphase reactors for Biomass-To-Liquid synthesis [abstract]
(2009-04)
Generation of liquid fuels from renewable sources such as biomass has been practiced since early 1900's. In view of the skyrocketing oil prices and the depleting reserves of natural gas, it has gained further interest. The ...
Bio-Energy Production from Anaerobic Digestion of Animal and Farm Wastes
(2009-04)
US produces annually huge amount of animal and farm wastes (e.g. only cow manure in amount of about 1.8 billion tons). These wastes can be valuable source of renewable energy besides overcoming the environmental problems ...
Mixing characteristics of bubble columns with internals for Biomass to liquid synthesis [abstract]
(2009-04)
The use of renewable energy sources is becoming increasingly necessary, if we are to achieve the changes required to address the impacts of global warming. Biomass is the most common form of renewable energy, widely used ...
Fundamental Understanding of Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactors for Environmentally Benign and Risk Free Proliferation 4th Generation Nuclear Energy and Hydrogen Production [abstract]
(2009-04)
Pebble bed nuclear reactor is among the 6 suggested 4th generation nuclear reactors. It is also one of the advanced high temperature gas nuclear reactors (AGRs). In such reactor the pebbles that contain the nuclear fuel ...
