Variation in mushroom frequency on course-woody debris in areas of different forest management techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Different forest management techniques may have serious varying ecological consequences. Our focus was on the mushrooming bodies of fungus on course-woody debris in three differently managed areas of forest. This is an ...
Using Indium-111 labeled radiopharmaceuticals to target the BB2 receptor on human prostate cancer cells [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The BB2 receptor, belonging to the Bombesin receptor family, has been shown to be highly over expressed in a variety of cancer cell lines, including human prostate cancer. Our laboratory have been involved, for over a ...
Functional analysis of MPK3 and MPK6, two mitogen-activated protine kinases in Arabidopsis thaliana
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are major pathways involved in the transduction of extracellular signals into intracellular responses. A MAPK cascade consists of three kinases; MAPK, MAPK kinase (MAPKK or ...
Determining whether mate-searching males use directional information from female signals in Umbonia crassicornis
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Vibrational communication is widespread in insect social and ecological interactions. In fact, it has been estimated that thousands of insect species use vibrational signals as a primary source of communication. During ...
Purification and site mutagenesis in GDP-mannose dehydrogenase
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)

Exploring the functional decapping ability of the dogfish shark Nudt16 homolog
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
A nuclear decapping and binding protein, X29/Nudt16, was originally characterized in Xenopus, and has also been characterized in humans. It is suggested that not only the protein's sequence, but also its functions has been ...
Health monitoring of civil structures [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The project will develop health monitoring technologies for civil structures. Specifically, precision tiltmeters will be used to monitor the long term behavior of the columns. A wireless data acquisition system will be ...
Design and testing of heat pipes [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The project focuses on the design and testing of straight heat pipes. During the duration of the project three different styles of heat pipe manufacturing were developed. The first style consisted of flattening the pipe ...
False stereotypes: Future teacher's expectations for their students [abstract]
