Alliance for Collaborative Research in Alternative Fuel Technology (ALL-CRAFT)
(2009)
ALL-CRAFT (http://all-craft.missouri.edu) is a partnership of the University of Missouri,Columbia (MU, lead institution) and Midwest Research Institute (MRI), Kansas City, to developlow-pressure, high-capacity storage ...
Energy Materials: Meeting the Challenge
(2009-04)
Increasing awareness of environmental factors and limited energy resources have led to a
profound evolution in the way we view the generation and supply of energy. Although fossil and
nuclear sources will remain the most ...
Microphotonic Harsh Environment Sensors for Clean Fuel and Power Generation
(2009-04)
Low cost, reliable, in-situ sensors are highly desired for advanced process control and lifecycle management in various power and fuel systems. Many energy generation processes involve harsh conditions throughout 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 ...
Invited speakers panel day 2, Dr. Sayre and Dr. Duncan [videorecording]
(University of Missouri (System), 2009)
Dr. Richard Sayre spoke about biomass resources, including the potential of microalgae to provide a renewable fuel. Dr. Robert Duncan addressed the need for objective scientific method when evaluating new technologies, ...
Melanoma gene knockdown by introduction of engineered RNA [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Relatively new to the scientific community is the RNA interference pathway (RNAi) that can be used to silence post-transcriptional gene expression. Long dsRNA can be introduced into cells and through various mechanisms ...
In vitro neural stem cell niche grown in 3D scaffold [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Recent studies show that adult neural tissues can harbor stem cells within unique niches. In the mammalian central nervous system, neural stem cell (NSC) niches are present in the dentate gyrus and the subventricular zone ...
Examination of Gbx2 function in zebrafish development [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Gbx2 is a member of the Gbx class of homeobox genes which encode DNA-binding transcription factors. The amino acid sequence of Gbx2 is highly conserved across multiple species (e.g. mice, zebrafish, chicken, and frogs) ...
Perceived entrepreneurial ability and business relationships among minority business owners in the Midwest [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
This is a study of perceived entrepreneurial ability and perceived obstacles to important business relationships of business managers/owners in the Midwest. It was expected that the self perceived entrepreneurial ability ...
Evolution of maize defense gene expression altered by Wolbachia [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Western corn rootworm (WCR), Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is a major pest in the maize fields of North America; causing tremendous economic loss. WCR vectors Wolbachia spp., an obligate intracellular bacterium. ...
Effect of hydrogen in the crystallization of amorphous silicon carbide for betavoltaic fabrication [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) (Applied Materials P5000, CA) was used to deposit three different types of hydrogenated amorphous Silicon Carbide (a-SiC:H) films on quartz and n-type Si substrates. These ...
Data analysis for an eldercare sensor network [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The average life expectancy in the U.S has grown. However, as older adults age, one can expect to see a decline in their functional ability. An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Missouri has been developed ...
Characterizing serotonin in the fruit fly brain [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The biogenic amines serotonin (5-HT) and dopamine (DA) have been implicated in the formation of place memories in Drosophila melanogaster. However, stronger evidence exists in support of 5-HT as the more essential factor ...
Western blot analysis of chloroplast, embryoplast and cytoplasm using sucrose synthase antibodies [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Plastids are functionally and structurally diverse organelles and include chloroplasts (found in leaves), leucoplasts (roots), chromoplasts (flower petals), and amyloplasts (tubers). Plant embryos also contain plastids and ...
