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...
Interfacial tension in a binary liquid system
(University of Missouri--Columbia., 1969)
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 ...
Localization in challenging environment using geometric and machine learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The establishment of robust sensor network applications requires accurate and non complex positioning techniques using a full or partial set of ...
Force system synthesis to produce a desired time response of mechanisms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1975)
A technique and computer programs are developed which will synthesize parameters of force systems which will drive a mechanism to have a desired motion-time response and desired input-output forces. The force devices can ...
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials for arsenic adsorption : surface complexation and intraparticle diffusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
performance under different pH conditions, respectively. Surface complexation models (SCM) can be developed to simulate the adsorption performance as a function of pH, arsenic concentrations, and ionic strength. And estimation of important adsorption...
Investigating the role of arginine 21 in the structure and function of human [alpha]A-crystallin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Cataractogenesis in the eye lens occurs as a result of protein aggregation. Of the multiple mutations in [alpha]A-crystallins associated with the ...

Semi-analytical terminal and automatic approach and landing trajectory planners for unpowered reusable launch vehicle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A new guidance scheme for the terminal area energy management (TAEM) phase of an unpowered reusable launch vehicle (RLV) has been developed. The main ...
An investigation into thermoelectric coolers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
A thermoelectric cooler (TEC) is a type of cooler that uses the electricity between the junction of two materials to cause a temperature drop. These coolers operate using the Peltier effect. Effectively, a TEC uses electrical ...
Reliability-based analysis of settlements of shallow foundations on cohesionless soils
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI-COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Although settlements of foundations on cohesionless soils usually are small, it is important to be able to predict them because the primary ...
Novel biomaterials for controlled immunomodulatory drug delivery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
With the success of solid organ transplantation, a next generation approach has been developed known as vascularized composite allografts which requires the transplantation of a whole functional unit comprised of many ...
Equilibrium and transport properties of polyatomic gases
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)
The spherical shell intermolecular potential function was used to represent the properties of pure components and mixtures of gases. Parameters for this function were evaluated using second virial coefficient data and ...
Automatic GUI Based Counting Software for Immunostaining Analysis Using Matlab GUIDE
(2016)
Typically, researchers need to the manually count the number of cells in many
histological sections. However, this manual counting method is labor intensive and time
consuming. Manual counting is also subject to bias, ...
Evaluation of micro-dystrophin based and dystrophin-independent AAV gene therapies for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
the impact of hinge 1 (H1) and hinge 4 (H4) regions in the function of a micro-dystrophin ([micro]Dys) construct. Two novel micro-dystrophins were engineered by complete deletion of either hinge 1 or hinge 4 and packaged in AAV9. Three separate groups of 3...
Cage culture of channel catfish in a heated effluent from a power plant, Thomas Hill Reservoir
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1976)
The thermal effluent from electric power plants has been a subject of increased concern because of possible detrimental effects to the enviornment. Power demands in the united states have increased tremendously and may ...
A comparison of some methods of estimating radium
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1914)
The quantitative determination of the small amounts of radium present in the atmosphere, spring waters, minerals and rocks involves two steps: (1) The quantitative separation of the radium emanation in a known weight of ...
Influence of site conditions on near-field effects in multi-channel surface wave measurements
