Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a common inherited disorder affecting 600,000 Americans and more than 12 million people worldwide. Clinical manifestations include renal enlargement, abnormal tubular development and ...
Cell-to-cell infection, cell-cell fusion and production of ebolavirus : mechanisms of action and cellular modulators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Ebolavirus (EBOV), a member of the Filoviridae family, is a deadly non-segment negative-sense RNA virus that causes hemorrhagic fever among human and other species; the fatality rate can be up to 80%. In 2014, a re-emergent ...
Decision theory and sampling algorithms for spatial and spatio-temporal point processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In this work, we first present a flexible hierarchical Bayesian model and develop a comprehensive Bayesian decision theoretic framework for point process theory. Then, we provide a comparative study of the approximate ...
Percolative effects in quantum critical systems : how magnetic clusters shape the response at low temperatures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
We have investigated the link between cluster morphology and non-Fermi liquid behavior in the bulk properties of Ce(Ru1-xFex)2Ge2, a prototypical quantum critical system that has been driven to criticality through chemical ...
Phosphinimines as potential technetium environmental sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Phosphinimines, R₃P=NSiMe₃, undergo hydrolysis to form the phosphiniminiumcation, R₃P=NH₂+, which forms the ion pair [R₃P=NH₂+][X-] in the presence of an anion.Preliminary studies show that in the presence of TcO₄-, ...
Physical inactivity induced dysregulation of skeletal muscle and adipose tissue metabolism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
There has been a precipitous decline in the daily physical activity in humans that has been accompanied by an epidemic rise in the incidence of obesity and type II diabetes. This rapid decline in physical activity in humans ...
