Characterization of the Organic Matrix of Mature Human Tooth Enamel: Structure, Macromolecular Composition and Effect of Radiotherapy
(2014-09-30)
Mature human tooth enamel contains a small amount of organic matrix locally concentrated within its innermost region, which is tougher and more crack resistant than the outer bulk phase. Although the enamel organic matrix ...
Disconnecting a Role for DNA Repair in the Pathogenicity of the Human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans
(2014)
strategies is required to combat the infections and develop therapies through translational research. Considering the evidence of a role of DNA repair in pathogenesis, I investigated DNA repair strategies adopted by Cryptococcus to survive in the environment...
Human trust model of collision warning through pupillary and electromyography responses
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
occur under conditions that are largely safe, the phase 2 study was designed as laboratory-based with under controlled environmental factors, to reveal the underlying pupillary and electromyography responses under potential hazards. For the model...

Digital wonders: examining awe-inspiring virtual reality as a tool to promote curiosity and exploration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
, information seeking may arise from surprising learners with unknown and unexplained phenomena. Additionally, feelings of perceptual envelopment and accessing the inaccessible characterized participants' VR-based awe experiences. From a practical perspective...
Behavioral choice and demographic consequences of wood frog habitat selection in response to land use
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
Land use is a pervasive form of disturbance affecting natural systems on Earth. My dissertation research is set within the context of a large scale project referred to as Land-use Effects on Amphibian Populations (LEAP), ...
Decision-making in pediatric hematopoeitic cell transplantation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
allowed us to gain an in-depth understanding of their conflict. Through pattern-matching and cross-case synthesis, we found that the level and sources of conflict among 11 participants varied within and across family members. Some experienced levels...

Understanding how violence impacts rural mexico: a cross sectional analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Violence has negative impacts on the wellbeing of civilians, but it specifically has a stronger impact on the rural poor. In Mexico, the rural poor are often ignored in academic research and in policies that address violence, ...
Ab initio calculations of mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic structure properties of mullite, Iota-alumina and boron carbide
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-22)
solution series with x=1. Based on a high alumina content mullite phase, a structural model for ι-Al₂O₃ is constructed. The simulated x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of this model agrees well with a measured XRD pattern. The ι-Al₂O₃ is a highly disordered...
Estimates of school productivity and implications for policy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
