Assessing the effects of anticoagulant rodenticides on non-target fish species
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
preliminary findings, which were used in the planning processes of an aerial broadcast which was conducted in August 2017. My dissertation research used acute toxicity testing, tissue analysis, and pharmacokinetics to determine the relative sensitivity of fish...
Hospital acquired pressure injury in adult orthopedic spine surgery patients: risk factors and risk assessment tools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
). preoperative BRAS cutoff value of 18 yielded Sensitivity 36 percent and Specificity 75 percent. Munro PACU Total cutoff value of 29 yielded Sensitivity 87 percent and Specificity 42 percent. Scott Triggers cutoff value of 1 yielded Sensitivity 76 percent...
Social media usage news consumption, behaviors, and online civic reasoning among Generation Z
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
consumption and other news behaviors (e.g., sharing, liking) via social media; and 2) examine the extent to which Gen Z uses aspects of online civic reasoning in their social media news consumption/behaviors. This was accomplished via an online survey of Gen Z...
Cryo-EM reveals how adeno-associated virus engages its receptor AAVR and an investigation of the GPR108 ectodomain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Adeno-associated virus is one of the leading delivery agents used in gene therapy today. While it is already used in the clinic, some aspects of its basic biology are still not yet fully understood. Only recently in 2017 was the primary receptor...

Degradation of the veterinary antibiotics in swine manure via anaerobic digestion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
of veterinary antibiotics (VA) in swine manure. Nine laboratory ADs were kept at 39 [plus-minus] 2 [degrees] C in incubators and were loaded every two days. The digesters had a working volume of 1.38 L (in a 1.89-L glass jar), with a hydraulic retention time...

Quantifying corn emergence using UAV imagery and machine learning
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
: quantifying corn emergence date using UAV imagery and a ML model; Study 2: estimating corn stand count in different cropping systems (CS) using UAV images and DL; and Study 3: estimating and mapping corn emergence under different planting depths. Two case...
Characterization of a diverse USDA collection of wild soybean (glycine soja siebold & zucc.) accessions and subsequent mapping for seed composition and agronomic traits in a RIL population
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
:6 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between Osage, a cultivated soybean variety, and PI593983, a wild soybean accession. Field tests were carried out in Missouri for two years during 2016 and 2017, in a randomized complete block design (n=2...
Risk prediction and an injectable collagen material for intervertebral disc degeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
the potential for developing an app from these predictive models. Phase 2 focused on the development of a collagen-based, gold nanoparticle material for intervertebral disc regeneration. Gold nanoparticles were conjugated to viscoelastic collagen using a natural...
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 ...
Role of neuronal positioning in jaw motor circuit function in zebrafish
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
developed an automated image analysis system to extract motion features from video recordings of jaw movement, enabling rapid and accurate high-throughput analysis. We used this software to examine the emergence of jaw movement in zebrafish larvae between 3-9...

Removal of hexavalent chromium and sulfamethazine by green zero valent iron nanoparticles (NZVI)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
ZVI particles were amorphous, with high colloidal stability and spherical shape of 7.8 [plus or minus] 2.1 nm diameter. Several functional groups on iron particles surface were related to the phenol ligands cap of the iron particles. In this second part, several...
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....
Generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients for branching rules of GL(n) and extremal weight crystals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This thesis is devoted to the combinatorial and geometric study of certain multiplicities, which we call generalized Littlewood-Richardson coefficients. These are sums of products of single Littlewood-Richardson coefficients, ...
Leveraging rhetorical style to reduce the existential threat of inclusive messaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
that exposure to inclusive messaging about what it means to be American led to lower meaning in life than exclusive messaging, or a control passage. Study 2 (N = 1,218) showed that conveying an inclusive message about American identity using non...
