Engineering of Human Acid Phosphatase Enzyme Sensitive Nanomedicine for HIV/AIDS Prevention by Topical Route
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
This study is divided into two aims. Aim #1 focuses on the development and
characterization of tenofovir (TFV) loaded a stimuli sensitive nanomedicine against male to
female HIV/AIDS infection. Aim #2 focus on the ...
The Evaluation of Permeable Cementitious Media for Nutrient Removal
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2017)
Excessive amounts of nutrients in surface and ground waters can interfere with the
quality of aquatic and human life. Permeable pavement systems have been studied for
contaminant removal, but there are limitations to ...
Hand Gesture Recognition via Electromyographic (EMG) Armband for CAD Software CONTROL
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
In the past, computers - whether personal or at work - required a mouse and key
board to interact with them, and they are still used to this day. Even for video games a
physical tool (controller) is needed to interact ...
Automated detection of amperometric spikes resulting from quantal exocytosis and estimation of spike and pre-spike foot signal parameters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Electrochemical microelectrodes can detect single-vesicle release events as “spikes” of
amperometric current. We developed a template based “matched-filter” approach that
performs least squares fit of a library of templates ...
Investigation of the performance of an automatic arterial oxygen controller
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Premature infants often require respiratory support with a varying concentration of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to keep the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) within the desired range to avoid both hypoxemia and ...
Associations between cumulative genetic influence for risk-taking and hazardous alcohol use in two independent samples
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A propensity for risk-taking may be associated with hazardous alcohol-related behaviors especially in men. Prior research indicating substantial ...
Effects of levels of statistics and the role of number anxiety on perceived story credibility and personal involvement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The purpose of this research is to examine effects of levels of statistics on perceived story credibility and personal involvement and the role of ...
Some self-correction required
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This project explores the behaviors of indifference surrounding the abdication of personal and societal responsibility in American culture. Themes of ...
Genetic architecture and marker-assisted breeding for salt tolerance in soybean
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that inhibits plant growth and causes seed yield loss in soybean. Although a major gene for salt tolerance on chromosome (Chr.) 3 was mapped, cloned and characterized, it does ...
Mesh-free modeling of spatially inhomogeneous aerosols in arbitrary geometries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Many issues affect the nuclear source term, one of which is the existence of aerosols. These aerosols are usually simulated with the assumption that they are spatially homogeneous. Making this assumption reduces complexity ...
Habitat selection and movement by spotted bass and shorthead redhorse downstream of a hydropeaking dam in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Flow alteration caused by hydropeaking dams may disrupt the natural flow regime and impact physical habitat and biological community, thus threatening the health of freshwater ecosystems. Life history strategies of fish ...
Relationship counseling for advertising agencies and clients : a textual analysis of framing in trade publications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Although the conflicts between agencies and clients have existed for as long as advertising agencies have existed, agencies and clients have appeared to face increasing difficulty maintaining their relationships. Many ...
Deepnet : an extensible data acquisition and curation framework supporting computer vision deep learning research
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
We present a system, DeepNet, for ingestion, curation, and management of geospatial data images to facilitate a range of geospatial research. The system allows for the semi-autonomous ingestion of geospatial data from a ...
An examination of black women’s health information understanding and negotiation of engagement in skin whitening
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Taking a domestic approach to understanding a global phenomenon, the purpose of this project is to illuminate how black women receive health information concerning skin whitening and how such information impacts black ...
Mechanism of Action of Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase Mediated Signaling in Oxidative Stress
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)
Worldwide there are an estimated 1 billion people that are affected by a form of
neurodegenerative disease. The most common forms of neurodegenerative disease are
Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, along ...
An arc of death : suicide, alcoholism, murder, accidents, and other early deaths in St. Louis, Missouri, 1875 to 1885
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
In this study of 120 coroner’s inquests conducted in St. Louis between 1875 and 1885, the author examines how six different kinds of deaths were investigated and interpreted. Each chapter focuses on a different cause of ...
Rationalizing violence : examining discourse and school closures in Washington, D.C., public schools
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
From 2008 to 2014, the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), in Washington, D.C., underwent school consolidation and reorganization that led to 38 public school closures. These closures disproportionately impacted ...
Membrane interactions with membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Membrane type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) is essential to a myriad of extracellular activities including tumor cell migration and angiogenesis. At the cell surface, MT1-MMP is a major factor in the proteolysis of ...
Pregnant in prison the narrative intersection of motherhood and incarceration
