Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric nucleic acid that plays a variety of critical roles in gene expression and regulation at the level of transcription and translation. Recently, there has been an enormous interest in ...
Chirality directed self-assembly: in situ construction of recyclable and reusable Janus dendrimers
(2021)
The underlying theme at the forefront of synthetic organic chemistry has always been about compounding simple precursors into more complex molecular targets. However, this strenuous process often involves the generation ...
The time-dependent response of concrete bond to steel under high sustained loads
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
stress have led to catastrophic RC building collapses around the world. Loading a member greater than 0.75fc' is referred to as high sustained loading and is in the range that could potentially lead to the progressive collapse of a structure...
Radiotracers for examining biological functions of plants and microbes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Tracers are used for qualitative and quantitative investigation of a system. Radiotracers have a radionuclide to observe chemical or biological processes by detection of the radionuclide's decay energy. They are non-disruptive ...
Validation of models for shock-driven hydrodynamic instabilities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
The propagation of fluids through space-time is a truly beautiful and mysterious marvel that humankind has spent nearly all our existence trying to comprehend, understand, manipulate, and master. From waves over water to ...
Metabolomics and chemical library screening for antibacterial drug discovery
(2020)
compared standard formic acid and ammonium acetate based solvent systems in both positive and negative modes; and established baseline separation with superior sensitivity for all nineteen amino acid pairs and glycine with an analytical C8 column in reverse...
The exploration of challenges to inviting social emotional learning in the secondary suburban classroom
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The focus to emphasize Social Emotional Learning in the classroom has increased due to both Kansas state requirements for individualized learning plans and lack of skills reported by the State Education Commissioner (KSDE, ...
Hydrodynamic characteristics and capillary-assisted heat transfer enhancement of non-condensing/condensing two-phase flows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
of intermediate scale two-phase flows such as void fraction, pressure drop, slip ratio, and bubble velocity; the pressure drop of horizontal plug/bubble flows and Taylor bubble velocity of vertical slug flow is minimum around normal gravity. The computational...
Assessing the occurrence of cyanotoxins in two urban reservoirs through a community science monitoring program
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Cyanobacterial blooms are an ongoing threat to aquatic systems worldwide. These potentially toxic blooms have typically been observed in summer to early fall, but there are increasing reports of blooms in colder seasons. ...
Second Generation Photoactivated Insulins
(2020)
The photoactivated depot (PAD) is a minimally invasive approach developed for a continuously variable light stimulated release of insulin. In this approach, a protein depot that can last for days is injected under the skin. ...
Essays on state merit-based financial aid : seeking STEM, revisiting methodology, and test retakers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
This dissertation investigates several topics in state merit-based financial aid research. The main research content includes three separate studies, primarily using the administrative datasets from the Missouri Department ...
Enriching Knowledge Graphs Using Machine Learning Techniques
(2020)
A knowledge graph represents millions of facts and reliable information about people, places, and things. These knowledge graphs have proven their reliability and their usage for providing better search results; answering ...
Fast VMZ : code enhancements for video mosaicing and summarization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
to these long-running compute-intensive modules, the VMZ pipeline is not suitable for real-time mosaic formation in drones or UAVs. For instance, VMZ takes around 4 hours to generate mini-mosaics from an image sequence containing 9291 image frames. The blending...
The effect of visual inspection reliability on risk-based inspection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Bridge inspection has come a long way from its inception as a component level practice following the Silver Bridge collapse in 1967 to the most recent advancement enacted by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century ...
Using deep learning for land classification within the konza prairie, 1985 – 2011
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Machine learning has been around for decades, but deep learning is the new focus of study within machine learning. The goals of implementing deep learning into remote sensing are resulting in much faster and more accurate results for much larger...
