High-speed, high-accuracy method for mutual inductance calculations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Three methods for calculating the mutual inductance of coils are examined and compared: a finite-element field code analysis method, theoretical analysis method, and F. W. Grover's tabular method. These methods are applied ...
But Rather Becomes
(2013)
This collection of female-driven short fiction explores the ways that girls and
women are victimized, excluded, empowered, misled, or left to their own devices within
contemporary patriarchal American culture. Feminist ...
Role of Toll-Like Receptor 4 in Oxidant-induced Inflammatory Phenotypes in Macrophages
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
A common mechanism by which redox stress may activate inflammatory
responses to potentially initiate, propagate and maintain many diseases states has not
been characterized. Accumulating evidence suggests that pattern ...
Non-genomic control of neuronal calcium signaling by the steroid hormone estrogen leads to neuroprotective effects
(2020)
It has been well documented that the onset of menopause correlates with an increase in the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Estrogen supplementation was used as treatment/prevention for a ...
A Genetic Screen for Tribbles Suppressors Identifies the E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Neuralized as a Novel Target
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
In this dissertation, I used the Drosophila wing as a model tissue for a genetic screen
to identify novel targets of Tribbles. Drosophila Tribbles is the founding member of a family
of pseudokinases conserved between ...
Development of Pentablock Copolymer Based Formulations for the Sustained Delivery of Protein Therapeutics in the Treatment of Posterior Segment Ocular Diseases
(2013)
We have successfully synthesized pentablock (PB) copolymers comprised of various FDA approved polymer blocks such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA). PB ...
Clear, Aqueous Topical Nanomicelle Formulation For Diabetic Macula Edema
