Development of an amenable system for site-specific addition to a maize chromosome
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
Currently, transgenic maize is produced by random integration of a transgenes into the plant. This works for single genes, but not as well for multiple traits. Identifying plants that contain several transgenes becomes a ...
Explainable AI framework through Multi-Context Multi-Dimensional Graph Neural Network
(2023)
In this research, we explored the multifaceted realm of digital communication, emphasizing social media channels such as Twitter and Reddit, complemented by conventional data-gathering techniques like focus group discussions ...
Three Paths To Religious Integration In Ernest Hemingway’s War Fiction
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2018)
My dissertation studies religiosity in Ernest Hemingway’s war fiction in terms of
how his soldier characters connect to the divine. The means to understanding this
connection is in refining how the characters express ...
The role of genetic background on the phenotypic severity of the osteogensis imperfecta murine (oim) COLIA2 gene mutation throughout postnatal development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a diverse disease of type I collagen, the main structural protein in the body. It has been well documented that related individuals harboring the same OI-causing mutation can have very ...
Exploring Multivalency and Chemical Modifications in the Development of Anti-PD-L1 Peptide Inhibitors for Cancer Immunotherapy
(2023)
The PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint axis is one of the most common pathways exploited by cancers to evade immune surveillance. Many cancers overexpress PD-L1 (programmed cell death ligand 1) on their surface through which ...
Thinking locally : provincialism and cosmopolitanism in American literature since the Great Depression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Thinking Locally produces an account of twentieth-century literary history that counters the literary-historical over-reliance on wars as framing events. Eschewing the standard break between pre-World War II and post-World ...
Persistent homology : categorical structural theorem and stability through representations of quivers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
that can still be offered up by using these familiar lenses at new angles. There are three chapters of results. Chapter 3 discusses a categorical framework for persistent homology that circumvents quiver theoretic structure, both in practice and in theory...
Investigation of the replacement of cysteine residues in DOTA-(Tyr³)-octreotate: synthesis, characterization and evaluation of biological activities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Modification of the peptide sequence of DOTA-Tyr³-octreotate is carried out by substituting the cysteine moieties with D-Cysteine, L-Penicillamine and D-Penicillamine in one or both positions to study the effect of this ...
