Involvement of aberrant chromosome architecture and locus-specific vulnerability to DNA methylation epimutations in bovine large offspring syndrome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
including chromosome architecture and clinical features and molecular findings of LOS and BWS. Chapter 2 and 3 are the research chapters. In Chapter 2, I characterize allele-specific chromosome architecture of IGF2R imprinted domain in fibroblast cells...
Leaders in stewardship
(University of Missouri, Operations, 2016)
of projects. While we stress being environmental and financial stewards of Mizzou’s resources, we have taken that concept to the next level, finding ways to accomplish more with less. Faculty and staff helped soften the blow by working with Campus Facilities...
A shellabration of early life : exploring the taphonomy, diversity, and distribution of small shelly fossils surrounding archaeocyathid reef systems in the Harkless System, Death Valley, NV
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
framework builders and their small shelly fossil (SSF) inhabitants. This study focuses on lower Cambrian (Series 2, Stage 4) SSF assemblages from the Harkless Formation in southern Esmeralda County, Nevada, as a comprehensive systematic and quantitative...
Roll-out of the "Mizzou Advantage"
(University of Missouri, 2009)
Approximately three years ago, MU began an exercise to define "strategic advantages" that could place the University within higher education in an extremely strong, competitive position. The idea was to identify MU's ...
Factors affecting neonatal beef calf metabolism and vigor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
weight and faster time to stand than spring-born calves. Spring-born calves had greater circulating 0 h glucose, 0 and 6 h NEFA, and 0, 6, 12, and 48 h triglycerides. Fall-born calves had greater sodium and magnesium during the first 48 h postnatal...
Historical rainfall analysis and climate implications for agriculture in midwest United States
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
as an empirical formula estimating the soil's ability to store water and the amount of runoff. It was found that not only has rainfall increased but so have the number of rainfall days and the number of consecutive days of rainfall. To appricultural focus, spring...
Climate and land use effects on hydrologic processes and water allocation in a primarily rain-fed, agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
-fed crops with the potential of increasing irrigation. Therefore, the objective of this study is to: (1) evaluate the impacts of potential climate and land use changes on the hydrologic components of the agriculturally dominated Salt River Basin; (2...
Protection from pneumonic plague by the induction of heme oxygenase-1
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
heme oxygenase-1, which is an enzyme that catalyzes heme degradation into CO, biliverdin, and Fe2+. We show that by upregulating HO-1 activity by administering a compound, cobalt protoporphyrin IX, we were able to ameliorate the hyperinflammation...
Estrogen signaling and UCP1 : exploring mechanisms to improve metabolic health
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
the hypothesis that uncoupling protein (UCP1) activation via CL316, 243 effectively mitigates metabolic dysfunction due to loss of signaling through ERa. Methods: At 8 weeks of age, female ERa knock-out (KO) and wild-type (WT) mice were co-housed at 28 degree C...
Avian [beta]-defensins as antimicrobial and immunomodulatory agents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
property required the presence of chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) on host cells and the conserved disulfide bridges of the peptides. The two AvBDs were nontoxic to CHO-K1, macrophages, or immature dendritic cells....
LC-MS/MS method development for quantitative analysis of cyanogenic glycosides in elderberry and lipid peroxidation products in mice
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
of AE cultivars studied ranged from between 0.12-6.38 [micro-gram]/g. In pressed juice samples, the concentration range measured was 0.29-2.36 [micro-gram]/mL and in seeds the amounts was 0.12-2.38 [micro-gram]/g. TCP was highest in the stems and green...
Emancipation of education through place
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
The purpose of education is to prepare students to address imperative concerns that face our communities and planet. Many ways exist to address these pressing issues we are confronted with. Regardless of what subjects ...

Effective numerical methods to model dynamic behavior of springs with torsion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
concentrate on the Kirchhoff problem. The goal is to create an effective and robust numerical method to model the dynamic behavior of springs that have a prescribed natural curvature. In addition to the mathematics, we also provide the implementation details...
Investigation of the thermostability and activity of biomolecules in bio-friendly deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The solvent environment of a biomolecule is critical to its optimal performance in various scenarios, including biocatalysis, drug delivery, therapeutics, and biosensing. This dissertation mainly discusses the implementation ...
