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...
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...
Sharp estimates of the transmission boundary value problem for dirac operators on non-smooth domains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This thesis derives the sharp estimates for the transmission boundary value problems (TBVP) for Dirac operators in Lipschitz domains in the three dimensional setting. Most of the transmission problems considered in the ...
Modeling of molecular and particulate transport in dry spent nuclear fuel canisters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
There are two important phenomena associated with the depressurization of a dry spent nuclear fuel canister after the formation of a through-wall pinhole breach. The first phenomenon is the release from the canister of any ...
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...
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 ...
Analytical earth-aerocapture guidance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Aerocapture is a technique of employing a single atmospheric pass to inserts a spacecraft from a hyperbolic orbit, approaching from deep space, into an elliptical (captured) orbit around its destination planet. After ...
Local free convection to non-Newtonian fluids from a horizontal, isothermal cylinder
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1972)
The transfer of heat between a body surface and the motionless fluid surrounding it is perhaps one of the most naturally occurring physical phenomena. Undoubtedly interest and speculation regarding this natural or free ...
The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
feed rate was varied between 6.4 g/min and 19.7 g/min, the ethanol feed rate was varied between 0.17 g/min and 2.2 g/min, and the pressure was fixed at 24.2 MPa. All ethanol fed was converted into gaseous products: hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane...
Functional characterization of two putative mobile elements of the 'Mycoplasma mycoides cluster'
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
-living organisms. This dissertation focuses on the functional characteristics of two recently characterized putative mobile elements of the ruminant-infecting Mycoplasma mycoides cluster: a 3.4-kb cryptic plasmid, pMyBK1, of Mycoplasma yeatsii, and an approximately...
Process engineering to produce defined hierarchical structures of diatoms for wastewater polishing and micropollutant removal
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
- and nanostructures, as well as removal efficiency of nutrients in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). Second, we determined the changes in morphology and nanostructure of diatoms at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs ranging from 3 h to 24 h). We also developed a...
