Effectiveness of therapeutic Salmonella Typhimurium in selectively targeting human cancer cell lines [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Studies indicate that non-virulent strains of Salmonella Typhimurium have tumor-targeting activity. Indeed, S. Typhimurium has been observed to selectively target cancer tissue by a ratio of over 1000:1. Most of these ...
Evaluation of the efficacy of test products to ameliorate the toxic effects of aflatoxin present in broiler chick diets
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
An in vivo study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of several adsorbent test products to ameliorate the toxic effects of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in chicks. Ninety day-old straight run chicks were purchased from a commercial ...
What do pink pigs and soybeans have in common? Selecting for mutants in the ureide pathway
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2004)
Pink Pigmented Facultative Methylotrophic bacteria (PPFMs) have been found to be the most abundant microorganisms among phylloplane microflora, and have been recovered from all plants examined. PPFMs are seed-transmitted ...
MCP-1 and its role in lyme arthritis [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Lyme disease is caused by infection with the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi, causing arthritis and carditis in infected animal models. The presence of spirochetes in the joint and other soft tissues induce recruitment of ...
Efficacy of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT) protocol with clients with chronic stroke [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Objective: To determine efficacy of a new modified constraint - induced movement therapy protocol in clients with chronic stroke. Method: Each participant will undergo a six week modified constraint-induced movement (mCIMT) ...
Natural variation in phenotypes associated with phototropins among geographically isolated populations of Arabidopsis thaliana [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
In Arabidopsis thaliana several phenotypes are controlled by blue light including chloroplast relocation movements and bending of the seedling stem in phototropism. These responses are controlled by the phototropins, phot1 ...
Electrohydrodynamic conduction pump - An experimental investigation [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2008)
Electrohydrodynamic pumps (EHD) were built and tested to further understand the nature of the technology. Two pumps built used a conductive pumping action to achieve flow within a dielectric fluid. The first pump (pump 11) ...
The role of Periostin in regulating the biomechanical properties of cushion tissue
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
During embryonic heart development the atrio-ventricular (AV) cushions swell and fuse to form the valves and septa of the adult heart. Initially, the cushions appear as swellings on the interior wall of the AV canal and ...
Molecular free volume and viscosity changes in non-Newtonian fluids probed with molecular rotors
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
An empirical relationship between molecular free volume and viscosity has been established (Doolittle AK, J Appl. Phys. 1952; 23: 236-9). Non-Newtonian fluids hold much importance to scientific study because of their ...
Issues with scale using very high resolution digital aerial photographs
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2005)
This study involves the use of remote sensing equipment to observe plant communities. A remote sensor is any instrument that gathers information about an object or area from a distance. Advanced cameras, the most common ...
