Accurate and robust animal species classification in the wild
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
on wildlife population dynamics, and biodiversity. With the increase of camera trap used per study and the large number of images generated by camera traps, processing and managing the generated images has become a big challenge. Unlike many other image...
Towards real-time object detection on edge with deep neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Despite being a core topic for more than several decades, object detection is still receiving increasing attentions due to its irreplaceable importance in a wide variety of applications. Abundant object detectors based on deep neural networks have...
Deep neural networks for animal object detection and recognition in the wild
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Camera traps are a popular tool to sample animal populations because they are noninvasive, detect a variety of species, and can record many thousands of animal detections per...
Cotton and maize primary root growth responses to water deficit : comparative physiological and metabolic analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
to water stress were examined in a simulated field condition, but the results demonstrated that growth limitation of the root system by exposure to water deficits was not relieved by sulfur supplementation. Future studies will focus on investigating...
Merging technology development of trapped ion mobility spectrometry quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with biological investigation of Medicago truncatularoot exudates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
TOF Pro) to be applied specifically for specialized plant metabolites. I have also developed a method for collecting biological samples specifically for the new instrumentation. Utilizing this co-development strategy, new technology coupled with biological...
Sensory analysis of low fat strawberry ice creams prepared with different flavor chemicals and fat mimetics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The objective of this study was to understand the release behavior of five strawberry flavor compounds in ice cream with fat mimetics, and to reformulated low-fat ice cream with Simplesse(R) to match the flavor profile of ...
Color stability of sorghum 3-deoxyanthocyanins against sulfite and ascorbic acid degradation: pH influence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
in the presence (50:1 molar ratio) or absence of pyruvic acid. Samples were incubated at 37⁰C for 5 days to synthesize the pyruvic acid adducts, and their sulfite and ascorbic acid bleaching resistance investigated at 60 ppm and 500 ppm respectively, using a...
Habitat use and home range of American bitterns (Botuarus lentiginosus) and monitoring of inconspicuous marsh birds in northwest Minnesota
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Information on habitat use of the American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus) and a statistically valid survey design for monitoring changes in populations of inconspicuous marsh birds, which include American and Least Bitterns (Ixobrychus exilis...
Integrating cover crops into crop rotations in upstate Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
management practices for conservation, soil health could be improved, and farmers could obtain higher yields and economic returns. Soil health is the capacity of a soil to function for plant, animal, and microbial sustainability evaluated by set parameters...
Effect of temperature on the mechanical behavior of the CNT reinforced epoxy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
used in many applications such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and other industries. The reason for using this material as a promising nano – composite in many industries, is its mechanical properties such as high strength, stiffness...
Arsenic adsorption onto iron-chitosan composite from drinking water
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
To develop an inexpensive adsorbent, suitable for arsenic removal from drinking water, iron-chitosan based sorbents were selected. Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin, a polysaccharide and is available commercially in the form of flakes...
Impacts of soil management practices on soil fertility in potato-based cropping systems in the Bolivian Andean highlands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Due to changes in climate and socioeconomic developments, current soil management practices in the Bolivian Andean Highlands may be increasing soil degradation thereby threatening food security. A study was established in four representative...
Evaluations of driftable fractions of dicamba and 2,4-D to selected herbaceous and woody plant species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Commercialization of 2,4-D and dicamba-resistant cotton and soybean has given producers another mechanism of action to control herbicide resistant weeds. As a result of the adoption of this technology, off-target movement of 2,4-D and dicamba onto...
Role of the Arabidopsis peptide transporter AtOPT6 in heavy metal detoxification and plant-pathogen interaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
AtOPT6, is a member of oligopeptide transport (OPT) gene family. In Arabidopsis thaliana, there are nine members in the OPT gene family that are thought to be involved in peptide transport. Spacial and temporal expression of AtOPT6 correlates...
Interactions of parvoviruses with the cellular DNA damage response and CTCF
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
are able to initiate their replication has likely evolved over time to optimize these needs. Parvoviruses are small non-enveloped icosahedral viruses that are important pathogens in many animal species including humans. They contain a linear single...
The innate immune response and toll-like receptors in the human endometrium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
broad classes of pathogens rather than a specific organism, and is usually sufficient to prevent establishment of infection. Additionally, the nature of the innate immune response will direct and shape adaptive immune responses against invading pathogens...
