Development of highly selective fluorescent sensors for detection of glycolipids in vesicles and visualization of glutamate for neuronal imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Fluorescent sensors are very useful tools for exploring chemical biology and advanced medical research. Herein, we propose four different ...
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...
Topics in spectral and inverse spectral theory
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This dissertation is concerned with two major classes of operators and provides various spectral and inverse spectral results for them. In the first part of this work a special class of one-dimensional discrete unitary ...
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...
The Role of Host Translation Initiation Factors eIF4H and eIF4A and the Exon Junction Complex in the Control of mRNA turnover and Translation by the Virion Host Shut off Protein of Herpes Simplex Virus
(2013)
During lytic infections, the HSV Vhs endonuclease (UL41) degrades many viral and cellular mRNAs. This endonuclease activity is dependent upon the ability of Vhs to bind the host translation initiation factors eIF4AI/II and eIF4H. eIF4AI and 4AII...
Synthesis, Characterization and Device Studies of Conjugated Foldamers
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)
Conjugated polymers have found a wide range of electronic applications in last few
decades due to their superior combination of optoelectronic, mechanical properties, and
solution processability. In the past few years, ...
Sub-optimal and robust downlink beamforming in wireless networks with imperfect channel state information
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
). The fourth generation (4G) wireless technologies introduced a with promising technique known as multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) paradigm. The MIMO offers spatial diversity of multiple signals between the source and the destination which can ensure high...
An investigation of farm or dairy buttermaking : dissertation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1911)
is now being made in all dairy sections and is due largely to the advance of agricultural science and the dissemination of knowledge through colleges, agricultural newspapers, bulletins and circulars. The present demand for butter as a food...
Spectroscopic investigations of the beta-amyloid peptide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The focus of this project is two-fold: examining the native structures of three different fragments of the beta-amyloid (A[beta]) peptide, and attempting to overcome some of the difficulties encountered in such an examination. ...
Parametric Soil-Structure Modeling for Rapid Climatic Disaster Response
(2014-09-30)
Global climate changes have seemly caused acerbating impacts on coastal
environments in terms of severe meteorological hazards, such as hurricanes and their
induced storm surges, flooding, and heavy precipitation. Recent ...
Synthesis, self-assembly and applications of tribenzopenta-phene derivatives and triphenylene-based conjugated foldamers
(2013)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are interesting discotic liquid crystalline materials. Their often planar or near-planar geometry and extended π-delocalization render them appealing π-π stacking building blocks ...
Design of Instrumentation and Methodologies for Determination of Free Neutron Characteristics
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Measuring neutron source‐dependent free neutron properties over a large neutron energy range, with human‐portable instrumentation, continues to push the frontier of neutron detection instrumentation design and analysis ...
Analytical study of the spectral-analysis-of-surface-waves method at complex geotechnical sites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The Spectral-Analysis-of-Surface-Waves (SASW) method is an accepted means of measuring shear wave velocity (VS). In some settings, SASW measurements have produced results that were inconsistent with results from other ...
An analysis of flow induced acoustic resonance in cavities
(University of Missouri -- Columbia., 1970)
Strategies for metal colloidal nancrystal synthesis in sustainable media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
-like nanostructures, respectively, when the IL employed involves a coordinated and non-coordinated IL anion, respectively. Next, Chapter 4 has focused on exploitation of a purposefully designed IL-inspired surfactant, acting dually as a reducing and stabilizing agent...
Galilean moon tour using simplified trajectory computational techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
It is desired to find a trajectory for a spacecraft that will capture into an orbit about Jupiter and then subsequently capture into an orbit about each of the Galilean moons. The two main variables are the mass ratio, ...
Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
. The conventional 4-terminal (4-point) vdP probe configuration for sensors is compared to 2-terminal (2-point) probe positioning which is necessary for power devices. The effects of material properties on resistance and magnetoresistance (MR) for an externally...
Organizational citizenship behavior as a measure of performance in sport : relationships with leadership, team cohesion, and athlete satisfaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
university and a smaller Division III university representing a variety of sports participated in the study. Results of the study provided evidence for OCB as a valid measure of performance in sport. Results also supported the hypothesized circular...
