Properties of extruded white corn flour - high amylose corn starch puffs
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study was conducted to determine the effect of high-amylose corn starch in corn puffs on the extrusion parameters, product and textural properties and the glass transition temperature. The data was analyzed in a ...
Aptamer encoded nanopores as single molecule sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
We have created a low noise, calibrated, molecular-scaled pore. The nanopore is formed either by micro-forge polishing or external penetration of the nanocavity sealed in the pipette terminal. The nanopore fabrication is ...
CPLA2: key enzyme for astroctytic cell membrane phase property change induced by abeta
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The interaction of amyloid beta peptide (A[beta]) and cell membrane is believed to be the basis of its biological function including its toxicity to ...
Development of a post-traumatic osteoarthritis model to evaluate the effects of impact velocity and maximum strain on articular cartilage cell viability, matrix biomarkers, and material properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a very painful and debilitating disease that is associated with mechanical injury to articular cartilage, yet the severity of trauma required to induce it is unknown. The objective ...
Study of human pupillary light reflex and its potential application in autism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pupillary light reflex (PLR) can be used as an objective and non-invasive method to evaluate certain brain functions. In this research, we developed ...
Applications of gel electrophoresis in quantum dot conjugates' separation and purification
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The objectives of this study were to build Quantum dot (QD) crosslinker complexes for antibody conjugation usage, to purify QD crosslinker complexes by gel electrophoresis and to check the biological functionalities of ...
Optical glucose nanobiosensor encapsulated in erythrocytes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
An implantable glucose biosensor encapsulated in erythrocytes, Red Blood Cells (RBC), will become a method for continuously measuring blood glucose concentration in diabetics. In 2005, the American Diabetes Association ...
Ion-selective electrodes for simultaneous real-time analysis for soil macronutrients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Automated sensing of soil macronutrients (i.e., N, P, and K) would allow more efficient mapping of soil nutrient variability for variable-rate nutrient management. This study reports on the development of a sensor array ...
