Influence, Innovation, and Structure: Modernist Evaluative Criteria in the Reception Histories of Charles Ives and Jean Sibelius
(2016)
In 1987, Maynard Solomon published an article titled “Charles Ives: Some
Questions of Veracity,” which challenged the priority and probity of Charles Ives’s
technical innovations and ignited a scholarly firestorm. ...
The influence of role models on trans men's identity development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
-old) and the researchers separately grouped the participant-generated photographs and personal narratives into eight themes, including Authenticity, Acceptance, Inaccessibility, Isolation, and "Trans Enough?" Results supported the idea that access to positive role models...
Vers une nouvelle colonisation : le Roman du dictateur Francophone Subsaharien et Caribeen
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This study proposes to examine the representation of neo-colonialist governments in black Francophone novels. The dissertation examines the modes and means by which several post-independences writers depict, portray, ...
Cover crop effects on soil moisture dynamics & thermal properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The climate change induced weather uncertainty has increased the environmental extremes such as severe droughts and floods affecting volumetric soil moisture content (θ), thus food security. It also has increased the weather ...
Impacts of suspended and deposited sediment on benthic invertebrates and fishes in a Missouri Ozark stream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Sediment is suspected in the decline of sensitive-aquatic organisms in the Osage River basin of Missouri. In this study, I monitored sediment dynamics and evaluated corresponding linkages with benthic invertebrate and fish ...
Imaging structurual and mechanical properties in cardiovascular tissue using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. Every 36 seconds, one person dies from CVD [1]. Structural deficiencies and secondary changes induced by either abnormal functioning ...
Role of Sds22 in the regulation of protein phosphatase-1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] GLC7 encodes the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glc7 binds different regulatory ...
Roles of clathrin-coated vesicle networks in plant immunity and development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] For a plant cell, the plasma membrane (PM) is not only the interface with its environment but also a signaling platform. Proteins localized to the PM ...
Roles of dynamin-related protein network in plant immune responses and development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] At the host-pathogen interphase, the PM's protein composition has a critical role in how plants perceive and respond to the invading pathogenic ...
The effects of metal contamination on larval white sturgeon in the upper Columbia River
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Sturgeon populations are imperiled worldwide. Declines are attributed to many factors including habitat degradation and alteration, overexploitation, and contamination. In North America, white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) ...
On the synoptic and mesoscale organization of mid-latitude, continental convective snow events
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
An ingredients-based methodology was pursued in order to evaluate the likelihood of thunderstorms occurring in the presence of snowfall (i.e. thundersnow; TSSN). In order to properly distinguish from typical snowstorms ...
Advanced analysis of short-fiber polymer composite material behavior
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Short-fiber polymer composites experience widespread use in many industrial applications, where the orientation states of the short-fibers within the polymer matrix define the material properties of the composite structure. ...
Approaches for unveiling the kinetic mechanisms of voltage gated ion channels in neurons
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Ionic currents drive cellular function within all living cells to perform highly specific tasks. For excitable cells, such as muscle and neurons, voltage-gated ion channels have finely tuned kinetics that allow the ...
Single cell-type metabolomics of Medicago truncatula border cells and their roles in host-microbe interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Border cells are a specialized cell type surrounding the root apical meristematic region of many plant species, with the exception of the Brassicaceae family that possess characteristically different border-like cells. ...
