Ecology and management of oak regeneration in bottomland hardwood forests in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
Managing oak regeneration is a challenge in bottomland hardwood forests due to variations in acorn production, acorn predation, competition with other species, and flooding. This study was designed to investigate bottomland ...
Generation of a reference genome to investigate population fitness and transitional cell carcinoma occurrence in the fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Many species are vulnerable or on the verge of extinction as a result of increased habitat degradation and fragmentation. Conservation genetics has attempted to apply an understanding of species genetics to reduce the risk ...
Development of Protein Based PCBP2 siRNA Nanocomplex for Liver Fibrosis Therapy
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
The objective of this dissertation is to develop a protein-based siRNA
nanocomplex for the treatment of alcoholic liver fibrosis. Our laboratory recently
discovered that silencing the poly (rC) binding protein 2 (PCBP2) ...
A modeling framework for spatial transmission of Covid-19 in local communities
(2022)
COVID-19 is the recent infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). Because the transmissibility of the virus is relatively high and the outbreaks remained undetected ...
Ecological genomics of divergence, admixture, and fitness in the smallmouth bass (Micropterus dolomieu)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
their extensive native distribution. Much less is known about levels and distribution of diversity within the species. In 1940, Carl Hubbs and Reeve Bailey published descriptions of two distinct subspecies: the Northern Smallmouth Bass (M. d. dolomieu), inhabiting...
Novel targeted lipid prodrugs to improve cellular absorption of acyclovir and topical delivery to the eye via nanomicellar approach
(2013)
Biotinylated lipid prodrugs of acyclovir (ACV) were designed to target the
sodium dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) on the intestine and cornea to
facilitate ACV cellular transport. All the prodrugs were screened ...
Regulation of early trophoblast differentiation and development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Placenta is a transient organ which functions in multiple ways to support the growth and survival of the developing fetus. Placenta plays a critical role in nourishing the fetus...
Source localization using TDOA with erroneous receiver positions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Source localization has been an active research for several years. It has applications in many areas such as geolocation and mobile user location. Various methodologies have been...

Welcome to the University of Missouri 2018-2019 catalog! We are pleased to provide an interactive and searchable catalog online. The catalog is a comprehensive reference for your academic studies. It includes a list of all degree programs offered...
The influence of climate and population structure on East Asian skeletal morphological variation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Objectives: Recent studies have shown that global variation in body proportions is more complex than previously thought as some traits formerly associated with climate adaptation are better explained by geographic proximity ...
Approaches for comparing the structural characteristics of different representations of transportation systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Collection and monitoring of locational information has considerably increased over the last decade as the value of location-based data has been realized by planning...

Neutron scattering and microscopy studies of the structure and dynamics of water near a nanostructured hydrophilic copper oxide surface
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Recently, it has been shown that superhydrophilic coatings of "grass-like" cupric oxide (CuO) nanostructures can significantly improve the thermal performance of heat transfer devices known as oscillating heat pipes (OHPs). ...
Information fusion for robust detection of scarce features/objects in high resolution electro-optical satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
We conducted research to develop and test methods to improve the detection of scarce objects in high-resolution electro-optical satellite imagery. We demonstrated improvements through various forms of information and data ...
Use of Jacobians for inverse kinematics of articulated robots : a study on approximate solutions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In the context of articulated robotic manipulators, the Forward Kinematics (FK) is a highly non-linear function that maps joint configurations of the robot to poses of its endeffector. Furthermore, while in the most useful ...
