Multi-scale self-assembly of nanoenergetic materials utilizing functionalized graphene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
GO, forming a 3D structure with high porosity, controllable density, size, shape and chemical composition. The phase separation between Al and Bi2O3 was minimized, and the energetic reactivity of both nanoparticles was retained. Therefore, the final product r...
Nitrosative guanosine deamination : pyrimidine ring opening implications of effects in homogeneous solution as well as anisotropic environments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In recent years a great deal of interest has been focused on the exposure to nitrous acid (HNO2), nitric oxide (NO) and other nitrosating species because they are mutagenic...
Tensile strength, shear strength, and effective stress for unsaturated sand
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
strength, and deformation behavior. This was accomplished by conducting a large suite of direct shear and direct tension tests using three gradations of Ottawa sand prepared to relatively "loose" and relatively "dense" conditions over a range of degrees...
Occupancy modeling of forest carnivores in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), raccoon (Procyon lotor) and opossum (Didelphis virginiana). Coyote (Canis latrans), bobcat (Lynx rufus) and gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) were only documented with remote cameras. Combining methods yielded a more...
Equivalence test of high dimensional microarray data
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Chapters 2 and 3 demonstrate that LVR and HVR rats have co-selected other behaviors, which suggest that they may be a valuable model for an array of research disciplines including: (1) the investigation of the genetic basis for physical activity motivation...
Synthesis and structure-activity relationship of a series of sigma receptor ligands
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
-activity relationships, a series of N-phenylpropyl- N'-benzylpiperazine and N-phenylpropyl-4-benzylpiperidine analogs systematically substituted on both phenyl rings was synthesized. These ligands were specifically designed to have certain substituents and substitution...
Teacher perceived impact of technology on elementary classrooms and teaching
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
of teachers from the schools were included in the study: a) teachers in grades K-3 of both schools b) teachers in the non-technology school grades 1-3 and Non-eMINTS teachers in the technology school K-6 c) teachers in the non-technology school grades 1-3...
Psychometric properties of the School Leader Practice Survey (SLPS) to determine Missouri school superintendent perceptions about Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards performance indicators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
. Conclusions indicated the instrument was reliable and valid. Principal component analysis yielded three components confirming leadership focused on learning: (a) Ethical Leadership for Learning, (b) Management of Learning, and (c) Culture to Support Learning...
Teacher perceptions regarding the influence block scheduling has on student learning as compared to traditional scheduling in middle schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The purpose of this study was to compare middle school teachers' perceptions on student learning in A/B block schedules and traditional schedules in schools with grade configurations of 6 through 8. Responses to the survey were disaggregated...
Characterization of D-boroala as a novel Broad-spectrum antibacterial agent targeting D-Ala-D-Ala ligase & designer linkers : model reactions and linear free energy relationships in the reactivity and design of solid-phase linkers
(2014-07-18)
efforts to develop transition-state analog inhibitors for bacterial cell wall–synthesizing enzymes, we observed that D-boroAlanine (D-Ala with the -COOH group replaced with a -B(OH)2 group) had effective antibacterial activity. In the first part...
Imidacloprid sorption and transport in cropland, grass buffer and riparian buffer soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
by applying Br - as a nonreactive tracer. A single pulse of 14C-ICD was applied, and ICD leaching was monitored for up to 45 days. Bromide and ICD breakthrough curves for each column were simulated using CXTFIT, a convection/dispersion-based transport...
Effects of amending a gravel based growing medium with calcined clay on medium physical properties and growth of Gymnocladus dioicus seedlings
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The Missouri Gravel Bed (MGB) is a system that uses pea gravel with 10% sand (v/v) as a root growth medium, allowing bare root plants to be removed from the gravel and planted...
Three essays on the time series of returns
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
fluctuations in the high inflationary environment before 2000, play a negligible role thereafter. In the second essay in Chapter 2--Investor Sentiment and Asset Returns: Actions Speak Louder than Words--I analyze daily predictability of investor sentiment...
Practical Applications of Infrared, Raman and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Techniques for Qualitative, Quantitative and Structural Analysis of Pharmaceutical Drugs, Cementitious Material and Organic Molecules Containing Phosphorous
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
, conformational, qualitative and quantitative properties of different molecules under study. Understanding the physical structure of a molecule is fundamental for function, dynamic, and mechanism studies. Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are two of the most widely...
Rhizobacteria associated with glyphosate-resistant soybean (Glycine Max)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
activity to a limited extent, possibly due to reduced levels of root exudates caused by the treatments. Inhibition of ivyleaf morningglory seedling growth by Bradyrhizobium japonicum isolate GD3 was greater than IAA alone. Certain rhizobacteria...
Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
, and consequently to the settlement estimations. Traditional settlement analysis methodologies do not incorporate a consistent approach to account for the uncertainties and can lead to either costly design by overestimation of the settlement or a risky design...
