Effect of chip thickness, sub-critical bifurcations and process parameters in high-speed milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The main focus of the current research is to experimentally and numerically investigate of subcritical bifurcations in milling accounting for actual ...
Statistical analysis for survival data with missing information
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
As a branch of statistics, survival analysis, which is often referred to as "reliability theory" in engineering, has a long history. While in practical problems, some information might be missing. This dissertation discusses ...
Environmental variability affects gut microbiota and experimental outcomes in mouse models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The gut microbiome of humans and animals is critical to host health. Mice are used to investigate the microbiome and its influences; however, the predictive value of such studies is hindered by cage effects due to coprophagy. ...
Modelling and analysis of energy metabolism in postmortem muscle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Fresh-meat quality is largely determined by a number of biochemical reactions during the conversion of muscle to meat. To produce consistent high-quality meat, it is necessary to have an understanding of energy metabolism ...
Using impact asthma echo to influence physician self-efficacy and guideline adherence
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The purpose of this study was to examine the influence on provider self-efficacy and guideline adherence as a result of participation in Impact Asthma ECHO. The researcher addressed the following research questions: How ...
APP∙CNTN Complex Architecture is Conserved Throughout the Vertebrate Lineage
(2020)
Contactins (CNTNs) are a group of up to six cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily found throughout the metazoan lineage. CNTN architecture is broadly conserved, and these proteins are composed ...
Multiscale modeling of biomolecular systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Studies of structure-function relationships in biomolecular systems require to follow nanometersize systems on time scales spanning from pico- to micro-seconds, while maintaining atomic scale spatial resolution in all-atom ...
The investigation of the self-assemblies of pyrogallol [4] arenes with large metal ions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of the non-covalent interactions between molecules. Host molecules such as C-pyrogallol[4]arenes form complexes via these supramolecular interactions. Pyrogallol[4]arenes are ...
Structure of the gene therapy vector, adeno-associated virus with its cell receptor, AAVR
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2019)
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are preeminent in emerging clinical gene therapies. Generalizing beyond the most tractable genetic diseases will require modulation of cell specificity and immune neutralization. ...
Derivation and validation of alcohol phenotypes in a college population : a motivational/developmental approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Numerous typologies of alcoholics have been proposed, dating back to the 1850s. However, many of these typologies have categorized alcoholics on distal and/or static etiological factors. In this study, longitudinal data ...
Avian nest survival and breeding density in cottonwood plantations and native forest fragments in southeast Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
I compared nest survival and breeding density between native bottomland forest and cottonwood (Populus deltoides) plantations over a three-year period for Acadian Flycatcher (Empidonax virescens), Prothonotary Warbler ...
Brassicales to Brassica : integrating phylogenomics and population genomics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The Brassicales are an economically important order of flowering plants. Many crop species such as kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, canola oil, capers, and papaya, as well as the model plant organism, Arabidopsis ...
MUtation, 1976

Yearbook for the University of Missouri--Columbia School of Medicine.
Of floods and gales: environmental value creation due to creative destruction
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Recent discussions on environmental issues, such as global climate change, implicates many of the wider processes studied by scholars in the management sciences. As a result, there has been considerable debate regarding ...
Illustrated editions : depicting the eighteenth-century British novel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This dissertation on illustrated British fiction from the 1740s to 1830s argues that a vital part of novelistic interpretation is omitted when illustrations are overlooked. Rather than viewing the novels of the eighteenth ...
Influenza virus strategies to regulate S1P-metabolizing enzymes and evade host innate immunity for robust viral replication
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Viral infection is a complex network of interactions involving the host defending itself against the virus and the virus attempting to subdue host defenses and utilize the cellular machinery to promote its replication. ...
Deep neural networks for animal object detection and recognition in the wild
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Camera traps are a popular tool to sample animal populations because they are noninvasive, detect a variety of species, and can record many thousands ...
Climate change impacts on hydrologic components and occurrence of drought in an agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The study on potential acceleration of future hydrologic cycle due to change in precipitation and increase in temperature are essential for managing natural resources and setting policy. The impact of future climate change ...
