The molecules that move us : evaluating potential genetic and molecular determinants of physical activity motivation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
untamed and at the forefront of our public health interests. For the first time in human history, engaging in physical activity is essentially voluntary, a choice that [about] 97 [percent] of U.S. adults fail to meet in terms of the U.S. Physical Activity...
Investigation of genes involved in somatic embryogenesis and plant-Agrobacterium interactions through transcriptional profiling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
aspects of either component can inform the development of technologies that serve to enable or improve the efficiency of genetic modification methods. The most commonly employed method of delivering exogenous genetic material into plant cells is via...
3D growth simulation and field emission properties of vertically aligned carbon nanotubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
and predicting the properties of experimental CNT forests. 3D simulated CNT forest number density and conductance results are compared against CNT forest properties determined by in situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) growth experiments and post-growth small...
The relative impact of principal managerial, instructional, and transformational leadership on student achievement in Missouri middle level schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This study examined the relationship of three factors of principal leadership, managerial, instructional, and transformational. A total of 1,703 teachers from 133 middle level public schools in Missouri were included in the study, which was part...
A housing survey of Columbia, Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1919)
Text from page 2: "The following thesis is an investigation into one phase of the social life of Columbia, -- the conditions, of housing. The problem of the investigation is whether the people of Columbia are properly ...
Missouri alumnus, volume 002, number 09 (1914 June)
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 1914)
Mating systems in Nicotiana longiflora and N. Plumbaginifolia : the effect of interspecific interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The research presented here was focused on the effects of interactions between Nicotiana longiflora and N. plumbaginifolia on their mating systems. First, I conducted a series of observations and pollination experiments in natural populations...
Separation and detection of chemical and biological contaminants in fresh produce by plasmofluidic device
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
of about 55, 44, 88, and 54 [mu] g/Kg for thiabendazole, thiram, endosulfan, and malathion, respectively. For detection of food-borne pathogens, a SERS-based microfluidic immunosensor was designed to detect Escherichia coli O157:H7 individually...
Development of a fluorescence-based protease biosensor using nanoscale platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The development of a protease biosensor utilizing nanomaterials is presented in this dissertation. Peptide substrates and nanomaterial platforms were investigated to increase the sensitivity and response time for the ...
The Dixieland Press, volume 2, number 1-4
(University High School, 1971)
Characterizing a model of early human placenta
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In the few weeks following fertilization of a human ovum, there is little known about the events of early human development. What we do know we've learned from a few collections of fixed sections of implantation sites ...
Development of high-resolution optical tomography with a larger-size projection acquisition
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
In the industrial countries, the mortality from arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases has been decreased, but they remain the most common circulatory disease. Recently, new tissue engineering technologies such as ...
Gene expression profiling of bovine ovarian follicular selection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Lack of, or abnormal, ovarian follicular development is a major factor associated with impaired fertility in mammals. However, development of new treatments is limited by our poor understanding of ovarian follicular ...
Investigations on the hardening process in vegetable plants
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Agricultural Experiment Station, 1921)
Transcriptional profiling by deep sequencing indentifies [sic] differences in mRNA transcript abundance in in vivo derived vs. in vitro cultured porcine blastocyst stage embryos
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In vitro embryo culture systems promote development at rates lower than in vivo. The goal of this project was to discover transcripts that may be responsible for a decrease of embryo competency in blastocyst stage embryos ...
AI-based framework for automatically extracting high-low features from NDS data to understand driver behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, researchers have not yet fully achieved the stated goal of characterizing unsafe driving behaviors. These limitations include, but are not limited to, the high cost of data collection and the manual processes required to extract information from NDS data...
Effect of dry matter intake restriction on energy balance, ruminal fermentation, and nutrient retention by beef steers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Two studies were conducted to determine the effects of DMI restriction on digestion and metabolism by feedlot steers. In Trial 1, 12 Angus X steers (BW [almost equal to] 450 [plus or minus] 18 kg) were assigned randomly ...
Fabrication and characterization of polymer based metal-oxide-semiconductor and non-volatile memory devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Organic field-effect transistors (FETs) have been widely investigated due to their potential applications in low cost, large area, and flexible electronics. Despite the rapid progress in organic FETs there are still obstacles ...
