Synthesis, Derivatization, and Structural Analysis of Phosphorylated Mono-, Di-, and Trifluorinated d -Gluco-heptuloses by Glucokinase: Tunable Phosphoglucomutase Inhibition
(American Chemical Society, 2019)
Glucokinase phosphorylated a series of C-1 fluorinated [alpha]-d-gluco-heptuloses. These phosphorylated products were discovered to be inhibitors of [alpha]-phosphomannomutase/phosphoglucomutase ([alpha]PMM/PGM) and ...
The Iconographic Implications in the Reconstructed Picenardi Altarpiece : A Typological Interpretation
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1999)
"The present article supplements Norman Land's study by suggesting an iconographic program for the reconstructed Picenardi altarpiece. Building on the foundations of Land's argument, I contend that the formal and structural ...
The Value of a New Biotechnology Considering R&D Investment and Regulatory Issues
(University of Missouri, 2015)
The prevalence of the products of biotechnology in Canada's canola industry is vast. More than 95% of Canada's seeded area is in herbicide-tolerant (HT) varieties, which are products of biotechnology. Overall, the industry ...

This article documents the impact of GM cotton in Burkina Faso on input use and productivity. Six years of farm survey data found that GM cotton used two-thirds less insecticide and produced higher yields than conventional ...
Time-dependent density-functional theory beyond the adiabatic approximation: Insights from a two-electron model system
(American Institute of Physics, 2006)
Most applications of time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) use the adiabatic local-density approximation (ALDA) for the dynamical exchange-correlation potential Vxc(r,t). An exact (i.e., nonadiabatic) extension ...
Textual Considerations in the Quotations of Gospel Hymn Tunes and Other Familiar Material in the Symphonies of Charles Ives
