The affects of genistein on the Bradyrhizobium japonicum bacterial transcriptome [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Bradyrhizobium japonicum forms a symbiotic relationship with the roots of the soybean plant (Glycine max). This bacterium is of great importance because of its ability to provide the soybean with a source of nitrogen by ...
Molecular mechanisms by which citrus flavonoids regulate cholesterol transport processes in the liver [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
The American Heart Association estimates that cardiovascular disease will claim the lives of nearly two and a half million Americans in 2006. To combat high cholesterol, one of the most common causes of cardiovascular ...
Creation of a gene selection method using a Ste13-Cps1 construct in S. cerevisiae [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
The trans-Golgi network (TGN) reporter protein A-ALP, which is composed of the luminal (LD) and transmembrane domain (TMD) of TGN resident protein ALP fused to the cytosolic domain (CD) of Ste13, allows us to detect its ...
Bioinformatics analyses of 10 allergen proteins in peanuts [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Food allergies affect up to 8% of children and 2% of adults, and peanut allergies are one of the most prevalent and enduring. To understand the mechanisms and how they interact with antibodies it is important to analyze ...
Comparison of tumor imaging using antibody pretargeting and conventional methods [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
One of the newer methods for imaging and treating cancer is pretargeting. Pretargeting is a relatively simple concept to understand. First, a non-radioactive antibody conjugated to streptavidin is injected into the blood ...
Are episodic memory deficits in old age mediated by sensory loss? Investigating the Associative Deficit [abstract]
(University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Research has shown that episodic memory performance declines with age, and the Associative-Deficit Hypothesis (ADH) (Naveh-Benjamin, 2000) attributes much of the deficient episodic memory performance of older adults to ...
Microphotonic Harsh Environment Sensors for Clean Fuel and Power Generation
(2009-04)
Low cost, reliable, in-situ sensors are highly desired for advanced process control and lifecycle management in various power and fuel systems. Many energy generation processes involve harsh conditions throughout the ...
Dimensions of the college-choice decision [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)
Making decisions is a part of our everyday lives. However, research has focused little on the dimensions of the decision itself as a predictor of decision making behavior. A review of the literature found that much research ...
On air: Evaluating streaming MPEG4 video performance over wireless networks [Novinger abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
There is not a clear consensus on how open-standard video streaming technologies perform across wireless computer networks. Wireless networking technologies have become nearly ubiquitous, particularly in residential networks, ...
Development of a PCR assay to genotype aromatase knockout mice [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The aromatase knockout mouse lacks the gene sequence coding for functional aromatase, a protein that converts androgens into estrogens. Previously, to genotype an aromatase mouse, two separate PCRs were run: #1) Neomycin ...
Computational and experimental assessment of public dose from normal research reactor operations [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
The Missouri University Research Reactor (MURR) in Columbia, Missouri is interested in the amount of the Argon-41 being produced and released to the environment. The objective of this work is to know what operations within ...
Finding alternative methods of treating post-traumatic stress disorder [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Post-traumatic stress disorder is a mental condition that affects many veterans and others who have been through a traumatic experience. One widely used method to combat PTSD is debriefing, which is an interview between ...
Modeling the relationship between light perception traits and brace root development in Zea mays L. [abstract]
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research, 2007)
Maize (Zea mays L.) brace roots are responsible for physical stability in the soil and for water and nutrient acquisition in maize. The objective of this project is to investigate how traits related to light perception ...
