Dissipation and carryover of imidazolinone herbicides in imidazolinone-resistant rice (Oryza sativa)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The development of Imidazolinone (IMI) Resistant (IR) rice now allows rice producers to selectively control red rice (Oryza sativa, O. rufipogon, and O.nivara), weedy relatives of commercial rice (O. sativa). Imazethapyr ...
PRIMEGENSv2 : a service based platform using object oriented model view controller design pattern
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
There are a number of tools and software packages dealing with the problem of efficient primer and probe design. In an era of fast paced research it is rather difficult for any researcher to change their favorite tool. So ...
The mechanism for paraquat toxicity involves oxidative stress and inflammation : a model for Parkinson's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder known to affect the dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of developing PD with exposure to paraquat. ...
Fine-grained authorization in the Great Plains network virtual organization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The last few years have experienced a steady growth in research institutions showing interest in developing research projects that involve more than one institution's computing resources forming so called virtual organizations. ...
It's all in the face : an examination of attitudes and self perceptions of viewers after being exposed to pictures of fat women in the media
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Mechanical properties of complex biological systems using AFM-based force spectroscopy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
in the extracellular matrix (ECM). Because of its abundance, an understanding of how disease affects collagen mechanics is crucial in disease prevention efforts. Two levels of type I collagen structure were investigated, subfibrils (on the order of 1 [mu] m in length...
Testing the efficacy of self-determination theory as a counter-propaganda interdiction tool
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This dissertation experimentally tests a new theoretical approach to resistance to persuasion in the context of extremist recruitment propaganda. This study leveraged the self...
Development and validation of a rating scale for wind jazz improvisation performance
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to construct and validate a rating scale for collegiate wind jazz improvisation performance. The 14-item Wind Jazz Improvisation Evaluation Scale (WJIES) was constructed and refined through a ...
Probing supramolecular assemblies via fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Supramolecular, self-assembled nanocapsules have shown the capability to encapsulate organic guests. Since most of the work was done previously in the solid state, the novelty of this research was its focus on probing ...
Building hybrid multicast by combining IP and application layers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This work presents new multicasting algorithm called Hybrid Multicast (HM). HM is a software solution that implements the integration between ALM and IP Multicast. The proposed solution always tries to use IP Multicast capability wherever available...
Identification, characterization and use of novel thermogenetic tools in drosophilia melanogaster
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
the available tools offer precise temporal and spatial resolution, their caveats lie in the limited number of tools that can be used simultaneously to alter neuronal activity. The overlapping spectrum of activation of optogenetic tools prevents...
Applications of deep neural networks to protein structure prediction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
was then implemented as a standalone tool integrated into MUFold package and freely available to research community. A webserver called MUFold-SS-Angle is also developed for protein property prediction. The input feature to those deep neural networks is a carefully...
Spectroscopic ellipsometry analysis of nanoporous low dielectric constant films processed via supercritical carbon dioxide for next-generation microelectronic devices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
My research will address issues at the back-end-of-line in microelectronics fabrication, specifically the need for Low-k extendibility. The International Roadmap for Semiconductors (2005) suggested that interconnect ...
