B2 or not B2 : loss of ephrin-B2 in endothelial cells during development, homeostasis, and regeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The microvasculature is a robust and highly adaptive system, responsive to minute physiological and molecular cues. Endothelial cells (ECs) assemble the microvasculature during development through vasculogenesis and ...
Digestible lysine and threonine requirements of male turkeys and their effects on performance of male turkeys fed practical diets to market age
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Seven experiments were conducted to determine the minimum requirements of digestible lysine (dLys) and digestible threonine (dThr) from 1 to 21 weeks of age for male turkeys. Requirement values were similar to NRC (1994) ...

In pin oak (Quercus palustris Muenchh.) bottomland forests in southeast Missouri, we revisited clearcuts, shelterwood harvests, and controls within the Mingo Basin. Seventeen years later, we found significant changes, in ...
Deep learning-based solutions for electron microscopy image analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Electron microscopy (EM) enables capturing high resolution images of very small structures in biological and non-biological specimens such as membrane proteins, viruses, subcellular structures, nanoparticles, or material ...
Unpaved road detection using optimized log Gabor filter banks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The revised unpaved road detection system (RURD) is a novel method for detecting unpaved roads in an arid environment from color imagery collected by a forward-looking camera mounted on a moving platform. The objective is ...
Introducing a personal-originality approach for scoring children's divergent thinking
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Divergent thinking (DT), which can be described as the ability to conceive of and express a variety of novel solutions to open-ended problems (Gibson et al., 2009), is one of the most commonly studied constructs related ...
Establishing the posh scaffold as a novel therapeutic target for treatment of B cell leukemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] More than 60,000 new cases of leukemia will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. B cells comprise 10 [percent] of acute lymphoblastic leukemias ...
Identity through style : the transatlantic dissemination of Anglican and Episcopalian neo-Gothic church architecture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
In the nineteenth century the Episcopalians used Gothic Revival architecture for dogmatic purposes to define their status among Protestant denominations and secure their place in the United States of America. The discussion ...
Load and resistance factor design of drilled shafts subjected to lateral loading at service limit state
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Since 2007, the American Association of State Highway Administration Officials (AASHTO) has made utilization of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) mandatory on all federally-funded new bridge projects (AASHTO, 2007). ...
Adoption of nutrient management practices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Off-farm income has recently been incorporated into the analysis of technology adoption, due to its increasing share in total farm household income in the U.S. Previous studies, however, found inconsistent results with ...

Wire detection using ground penetrating radar using image processing techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] This thesis investigates wire detection using various techniques applied to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) images. In this study, a step-frequency GPR with a co-pole configuration was used to ...
Factors influencing the space use of a nonhunted population of eastern wild turkeys
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) have been an economically and culturally important game species in North America for many decades. Recent declines in abundance and productivity in several populations of wild turkeys, ...
