Synthesis and characterization of TiO2 nanotube Schottky diodes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
, nonstoichiometric TiO2 diodes displayed an improved ideality factor from 3.7 to 2.4. A 350 [degrees] C post-fabrication thermal treatment, however, led to both stoichiometric and nonstoichiometric TiO2 diodes having similar ideality factors of 2.0 and similar shifts...
Molecular dynamics simulations of shock-induced pore collapse in single crystal [beta]-HMX
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
that a single simulation for a particular scenario can be interpreted as representative. The conclusions from Chapter 2 were then used to guide the design of the MD systems in the second and third study (Chapter 3 4), where MD is used as "ground truth...
Strategies for metal colloidal nancrystal synthesis in sustainable media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
for the select nanoscale synthetic strategy. For Chapter 3, we have demonstrated a control over nanoparticle size and shape generated at an aqueous-organic interface. We have shown that an interfacial photoreduction leads to the production of spherical and wire...
Studies of natural products that reveal novel strategies for efficient modification of DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
novel molecular recognition features of the natural product azinomycin using similar tools (Chapter 4). We characterized novel, reversible chemical reactions of leinamycin (Chapter 3). Amongst these were reversible DNA-alkylation and reversible adduct...
Evaluation of Resistivity Meters for Concrete Quality Assurance, Project TR201414
(2015-07-28)
This research evaluated a series of MoDOT concrete mixtures to verify existing
relationships between surface resistivity (SR), rapid chloride permeability (RCP), chloride ion
diffusion, and the AASHTO penetrability ...
Synthesis and characterization of novel phosphinimine ligand systems for potential applications in radiopharmaceuticals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Multidentate phosphinimine ligands, C₂₅H₄₉N₂P₂Si₂,(2) C₃₄H₃₈N₂P₂Si₂(3), and C₅₀H₆₆N₃P₃Si₃(4), were synthesized in near quantitative yields by Staudinger reaction using appropriate phosphines. Coordination chemistry of 2 and 3 with Re was performed...
Automated Software to Count Stains in Immunostaining Applications
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2019)
Quantification of cells from immunostained images is a vital procedure in biomedical
analysis, as it helps in the measurement of proliferation, immunodetection and differentiation
of nuclear markers, which in turn play ...
A numerical study of laminar flow heat transfer in curved tubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1969)
Avian [beta]-defensins as antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
The increasing prevalence of antibiotic-resistance and lack of effective antibiotics pose a serious threat to animal health and public health. Host antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) show broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity ...
The clothing and textile research base: an author cocitation study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This is a study of the clothing and textile research base using author cocitation analysis. The study uses a custom database from a 15 year period, containing all citations in the field's leading journal: the Clothing and ...
Positron interactions with oriented polymers and with chiral quartz crystals
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Positron annihilation in various materials has been applied to characterize
microstructure for decades. In this work, PALS was used to study material nanostructure,
with a focus on the size and density of free volume ...
The development of the Heterodimeric enhanced Yeast-One Hybrid (HD-eY1H) assay
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
summarizes the development of the Heterodimeric eYeast-One Hybrid (HD-eY1H) assay, which was developed to identify novel protein-protein-DNA interactions. As a proof of concept, we used HD-eY1H to explore the iron homeostatic network in the reference plant...
Quasi-metric geometry : smoothness and convergence results
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
This thesis has two distinct yet related parts, the first pertaining to geometry on quasi-metric spaces with emphasis on the Hausdorff outer-measure, the natural extension of the Gromov-Pompeiu-Hausdorff distance to ...
BOOM!!! ...for Real!
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
BOOM!!! ...for Real! is a fifteen-minute chamber concerto for alto saxophone
(doubling tenor) and mixed chamber ensemble. The paintings and techniques of three
American expressionist painters—Cy Twombly, Franz Kline, ...
Investigating the bifunctional chelate approach for radiopharmaceutical development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
) incorporating a radiolabel directly into a small molecule, or 3) using the bifunctional chelate approach to indirectly label peptides or antibodies. The final model is the focus of this work. The bifunctional chelate approach involves using a chelate that forms...
Production of high specific activity rhenium-186 for radiotherapeutic applications and reformulation of a novel liquid brachytherapy agent
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The continued development of methods for the production and separation of high specific activity (HSA) rhenium-186 (t1/2 = 90.64 h, Eb-ave = 359 keV (71 percent), 306 keV (22 percent)) would largely increase its use as a therapeutic analogue...
Diffusion through porus media in transition region
