Proteomic identification of the differentially expressed and phosphorylated proteins in 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signal transduction pathway in salivary gland of Drosophila melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Protein kinase C (PKC) plays important role in 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) signal transduction, however, little is known about the exact role of PKC in this process. In my research, PKC-regulated phosphorylation in 20E signal transduction...
Almost everywhere convergence for modified Bochner Riesz means at the critical index for [rho] [greater than or equal to] 2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The Fourier transform is a mathematical operation that can be used with its inverse to rewrite a function as a sum of waves. It has been a useful mathematical tool for many applied sciences. Sometimes Fourier inversion is ...
Dominant substrates used by methanogens in hypersaline environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
, and the and the Exportadora de Sal saltern. Microbial mat and/or sediments were amended with site water only or with site water and various substrates and incubated in N2(g) flushed serum vials. It was hypothesized that trimethylamine (TMA) would be a dominant substrate...
On the use of multiple emitters to improve the TDOA source localization accuracy in the presence of random sensor position errors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
It is known that random sensor position errors can significantly degrade the TDOA source localization accuracy. In this thesis, we conduct a systematic study on using the calibration emitters to mitigate the effect of ...
Chloramine and MIEX control of disinfection by-products formed from an alluvial aquifer water source
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
average (LRAA) include in Stage 2 of the disinfectants and disinfection by-products rule. However, the formation of these DBPs varies with the water quality and/or the treatment process. The compliance of TTHMs may become a major issue in most facilities...
Advancing Uranium(III) reductive chemistry through hetroleptic metallocene aryloxide ligand frameworks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
This dissertation looks at the reductive chemistry of Uranium (III)bis- pentamethylcyclopentadienyl arylox-ide complexes. For chapter two, the reactivity of two metallocene aryloxide U(III) complexes, [(C5Me5)2U(O-Ar)], R = 4-tBuC6H4, R = 2,6-tBu2...
Kallikrein-5 promotes cleavage of desmoglein-1 and loss of cell-cell cohesion in oral squamous cell carcinoma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
. Using cDNA microarray analyses, we identified expression of a panel of kallikreins (KLK 5, 7, 8, and 10) associated with formation of more aggressive OSCC tumors in a murine orthotopic OSCC model. In initial studies, KLK levels in malignant OSCC cells...
The economic and performance impact of technology adoption
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Since first commercialized in 1996, biotech corn has experienced rapid adoption. By 2010 over 75% of the corn planted area in the United States, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, and the Philippines was planted with biotech seed...
The sacred life of the hetaira in ancient Greece
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Religion in the ancient Greek world was integral to societal function, and arguably to survival. Whether citizen, slave, or freedman, some form of ...
The directed gaze : enargeia and film in the Annales of Tacitus
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] My aim in this study is to examine the visual aspects of Tacitus' Annales in order to elucidate his creation of vivid narrative through control of the ...
Members of Congress respond to the political blogosphere
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
As traditional media organizations faced challenging financial straights, closing their Washington news bureaus, an opportunity emerged for political blogs to seize upon the changing nature of political communication. New ...
High valent uranium dioxo and imido complexes : synthesis and structure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Early actinide elements have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to the need for rigorous advancements in spent nuclear fuel recycling and remediation technologies, and for their emerging versatility in ...
Minimal resolutions for a class of Gorenstein determinantal ideals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
t minors of X. The ideals are called generic if they have the maximal height (n - t +1)(m - t +1). The generic determinantal ideals I[subscript t](X) are Gorenstein when m = n. We will explicitly define a complex associated to I[subscript t](X) fort = n -2...
Prospective radiolabled bombesin conjugates for prostate cancer imaging and therapeutic agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
An active area of prostate cancer research is in the synthesis of radiolabeled peptides for in vivo tumor imaging or therapy. This method is possible since specific receptors are expressed in high concentration on certain ...
