Influence of various wetting agents on water status in USGA greens as determined by their physical properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Soil hydrophobicity is an increasing issue in sandy soils, affecting agricultural land and golf courses. This phenomenon causes water repellency and bypassing of hydrophobic root zones, limiting water accessibility. Due ...
Measurement of radionuclides in biological tissues from occupationally exposed individuals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Keratinous materials have the potential to be used in criminal investigation of individuals who participate in nuclear smuggling or in the production of clandestine nuclear weapons. To develop the keratin biomonitor, its ...
Development of selective high-affinity fluorescent sensors for imaging neurotransmitters and application in cells and tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Herein, we develop a series of selective fluorescent sensors based on a quinolone core designed to image neurotransmitters catecholamines, serotonin and glutamate. Included are the main design strategy, synthesis, spectroscopic ...
