A utilization-focused evaluation of institutional persistence and withdrawal in an academic unit
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
The purpose of this evaluative study was to provide input toward the development of a plan to improve student persistence within one academic unit at Southeast Missouri State University. Since the framework guiding this ...
Cryo-EM reveals how adeno-associated virus engages its receptor AAVR and an investigation of the GPR108 ectodomain
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
the possible interactions between AAV2 and an uncharacterized protein that has been shown to be important in AAV entry for some serotypes, GPR108. We show that AAV2 preferentially binds to our expressed GPR108 constructs, implying that there may be a direct...
Spinal muscular atrophy and the therapeutic application of trans-splicing RNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Development of RNA modalities to re-direct pathogenic pre-mRNA splicing events is the key to curing monogenic diseases. Improving the efficiency of ...
Ecological Regionalism: A Synthesis of Ecological Economics and Organicist Regionalism
(2015-08-04)
To realize visions of regional ecological and economic sustainability—extant the
ecological economics literature—a unified understanding and philosophy of the region is
needed. Additionally, this philosophy needs to be ...
Light-activated biomacromolecules
(2013)
Biomacromolecules, mainly nucleic acids and proteins, are involved in
every cellular process and therefore their aberrant level or function is linked with
most of the diseases. Controlling these macromolecules using light ...
Assessment of the CO2 sequestration potential of the Morrow-B Sandstone in the Farnsworth Unit, Northern Texas through numerical modeling and laboratory batch reaction experiments
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] The objectives of this study were (1) to investigate the injection and storage of CO2 into the Morrow B Sandstone through numerical non-isothermal reactive transport models, (2) to establish a ...
Sequential Designs with Application in Software Engineering
(2014-03-31)
Presented here is a Bayesian approach to test case allocation in the software reliability estimation. Bayesian analysis allows us to update our beliefs about the reliability of a particular partition as we test, and thus, ...
The impact analysis of structural change in Korean agriculture with respect to the Korean-United States free trade agreement : dynamic simultaneous equation model approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The main objective of this study is the analysis of the impacts of the Korean-United States Free Trade Agreement. On April 2, 2007, Korea and the ...
Altar erected against altar: the impact of religious schisms in Missouri on the eve of the Civil War
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
This thesis examines the role that the schisms in the Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches played in the sectional crisis in Missouri. As a result of the research demonstrated within this thesis, it becomes apparent ...
Skeletal muscle weakness and mitochondrial dysfunction in the osteogenesis imperfecta murine (oim) model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), also commonly referred to as brittle bone disease, is a heritable connective tissue disorder occurring in roughly 1:15,000 births. OI arises as a result of mutations in the type I collagen ...
Establishing a foundation for large DNA transfer to artificial minichromosomes and B insert platforms in maize
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
In plants, conventional genetic engineering methods limit the number of available traits that could potentially improve the quality of agriculture. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and biolistic bombardment are tools ...
Investigations of Mississippi valley-type mineralizing fluids via analytical geochemistry, numerical modeling, and experimental geochemistry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) deposits represent enrichments of base metals and other elements up to 1000's of times greater than their average concentrations in the Earth's crust. These enrichments most commonly consist ...

An Instrumental Approach to Full Employment: with Policy Implication
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2010)
The study proposes that in order to assure full employment, policy measures must address both Keynesian unemployment, and unemployment caused by structural and technological change. It is possible to attain full employment ...
Indole Arynes in organic synthesis : discovery and applications for the total synthesis of complex natural products
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2011-05-03)
Arynes and heteroarynes are very important and useful reactive intermediates with many applications in organic synthesis, including natural products total synthesis. Although benzyne, the parent and most famous aryne, has ...
Behavioral endocrinology of female gray treefrogs, Hyla versicolor, in response to acoustic stimulation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
the breeding season relative to the non-breeding season. Injections of progesterone and prostaglandin elevated estradiol levels and promoted phonotaxis in a manner similar to naturally breeding females, suggesting these hormones may influence this reproductive...
Three essays on economics of higher education
