Metabolomic Analysis of Bacterial Cell Wall Intermediates Using LC-MS/MS: Peptidoglycan Pathway Response to Different Antibiotics
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
The bacterial cell wall is made up of peptidoglycan (PG) and its synthesis is of
interest as a target for several antibiotics and for new inhibitor development. Peptidoglycan
biosynthesis is a complex process which ...
Cognition, Fatigue, and Health-related Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis: Exploring the Role of Polypharmacy and Anticholinergic Medication Burden
(2022)
polypharmacy. The number of daily medications was negatively correlated with cognitive performance, rs = -0.45, p < .001. Additionally, the Drug Burden Index (DBI) accounted for additional variance in cognitive performance beyond that explained by age...
Coupling, membrane conductance, and ion channel mRNA profiles in the establishment and maintenance of network activity in the crustacean cardiac ganglion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
for unambiguous identification of cells based on anatomy or neuronal projections. We use this to evaluate the efficacy of cluster estimation procedures, clustering methods, and classification algorithms to determine the number of cell types present, group like...
Trait anxiety : a psychometric shadow
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1978)
The purpose of the present study is to examine the independent relationships which trait and state anxiety have to measures of fear in rat-phobic female college students during imagined and live encounters with a member ...
Amphetamine-Induced Toxicity in Astrocytes and its Implications in the Pathogenesis of Psychiatric Disorders
(2022)
Amphetamine-type stimulants (ATS), such as amphetamine (AMPH) and methamphetamine (METH), cause long-term toxic effects on the dopaminergic neurons in the brain leading to the development of several psychiatric disorders. ...
Delineation of critical management areas at plot, field, and watershed scales for claypan soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
and water quality and given rise to non-point source pollutants. The claypan soil region of Missouri has a high runoff potential that increases the possibility of transport of non-point source pollutants to downstream sites. The Agricultural Policy...
Wildlife response to spatial and temporal changes in forest habitat
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
A common goal in land-management planning is to describe the relationship between management actions, vegetation and wildlife habitat conditions for large landscapes. Achieving this goal can be challenging because ecological ...
Manual process productivity measurement : for Pre-registration Department in University of Missouri Healthcare
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the healthcare industry, it is often hard to measure productivity, because the input and the output of the process may be difficult to distinguish and may have different...
The survival and growth of shortleaf pine systems in the Missouri Ozarks : effects of competition, genetics, and site preparation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
survival and growth rates of planted shortleaf pine relative to artificial and natural hardwoods, identify barriers to regeneration success, and develop tools for individual tree assessment. Data from three long-term studies in southeastern Missouri were...
Derivation of walk-in cooler and freezer Performance Standard equations as they pertain to the ANSI/AHRI Standard 1250 and 1251
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012)
. At a box load variation of zero, the Proposed 1250 AWEF correlation is improved to -2.4%, and the Proposed 1250 compressor runtime correlation is degraded to -14.6%. If a specific compressor runtime had not been targeted, the AWEF correlation for each...
River restoration in the upper Mississippi River Basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
River restoration has become an important management choice to address causes and effects of surface water impairment and river modification in the Upper Mississippi River Basin (UMRB). I report information on individual ...
Seasonality and elevational migration in an Andean bird community
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
flock to document the phenology and elevational movements of birds along a 2.7 km elevational gradient in Manu National Park, southeastern Peru. Breeding for most species started with the onset of the rainy season in September and peaked in November...
Examining the association between extreme drinking and prefrontal cortex functioning in young adults
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
birthday celebration, a single event that often involves extreme alcohol consumption. Participants completed a visuospatial 3-Back task that has been found to strongly activate the PFC. Information about alcohol consumption during the participants' birthday...
Specific bio-modeling and analysis techniques at cellular and systems level
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
focuses on mathematical models at the systems level. Specifically, thermal physiology models of the entire human body are developed using statistical and black box (artificial neural network, ANN) techniques.The MU 2-D Man, a human thermal model has been...

.5 for near and far future respectively. The average ensemble annual soluble nitrogen loss was 8 kg/ha for BAU compared to 3.9 kg/ha for ASP management for baseline historic period. Result indicated the inclusion of no-till and winter cover crop resulted...
A study of unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions in the United States : early prediction and potentially modifiable risk factor identification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
is that there is no universal solution to reduce readmissions during hospitalization. Patients can be readmitted for any reason, and their heterogeneous social and clinical factors can further complicate the planning of interventions. The objective of this project...
Enhancing bluegill production through least-cost diet development and novel rearing strategies
