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. ...
Understanding how violence impacts rural mexico: a cross sectional analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Violence has negative impacts on the wellbeing of civilians, but it specifically has a stronger impact on the rural poor. In Mexico, the rural poor are often ignored in academic research and in policies that address violence, ...
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 ...

The role of terrrestrial habitat in the population dynamics and conservation of pond-breeding amphibians
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
populations in Missouri.The results of my dissertation research indicate that the quantity and quality of terrestrial habitat available to pond-breeding amphibians can have substantial population level consequences including increased extinction probabilities...
Carbon stars and silicon carbide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Stars between about 0.8 and 8 times the mass of the Sun will eventually evolve become asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, where they pulsate and throw off mass from their atmospheres, forming dust shells in the space ...
Bayesian cusp regression and linear mixed model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
First of all, we introduce the Bayesian mixture way of solving the Cusp Catastrophe model, which is designed to deal with piece-wise continuous outcomes. Simulation and real data analysis show that the new method beats the ...
Genetic and nutritional effects on reproduction in lactating dairy cows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Good reproductive performance is a prerequisite for profitable pasture-based seasonal calving systems of milk production. The objective of this dissertation was to elucidate the physiological mechanisms contributing to ...
The dissolution rate of unirratiated UO₂ under repository conditions: the influence of fuel and water chemistry, dissolved oxygen, and temperature
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
As part of the performance assessments of proposed geologic repositories the effects of temperature, dissolved O₂, and water and fuel chemistry on the dissolution rates of spent fuel are necessary to provide a quantitative ...
Cell wall metabolite levels as a function of the growth phase in Staphylococcus aureus and library screening for synergistic combinations of FDA approved drugs against methicillin resistant S. aureus
(2022)
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) based methods for quantifying cell wall biosynthesis intermediates. These include LC-MS/MS methods for quantifying cytoplasmic UDP-linked peptidoglycan biosynthesis ...
