Characterization of membrane viscosity changes with the novel molecular rotor FCVJ
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Membrane viscosity can be defined as the "thickness" of a cell membrane. Membrane viscosity conditions are a useful indicator of cell health. Many diseases have been reported to induce changes in afflicted cell membrane ... -
College students' information search behavior for spring break: an exploration in the concept of specialization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This study identified college student travelers' different information search behaviors, dividing the travelers into groups of high, medium and low ... -
Development of a flexible image-based approach for studying signal transduction in isolated arterioles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Myogenic constriction in arterioles occurs when membrane tension leads to smooth muscle depolarization and voltage-gated calcium channel activation. A barrier to understanding the exact signaling events is the limited ... -
Development of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer optical nanoscale biosensor based on a liquid-core waveguide platform
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)In order to produce a more versatile, adaptable, and effective method for detection of biological analytes, a self-contained and robust fluorescent optical biosensor architecture utilizing fluorescence resonance energy ... -
Effect of fat mimetics on the headspace release of five strawberry flavor compounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Consumers prefer to consume low fat foods rather than high fat foods based on health conscious. However, low fat foods mostly have poor quality on the flavor profile and texture. To make low fat foods have better quality, ... -
Extrusion and physicochemical properties of soy-whey protein meat analog
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soy and whey proteins are two finest proteins due to their nutritional and health benefits. To reap these benefits it is essential to use them in ... -
Human resource management practices and organizational commitment and intention to leave: the mediating role of perceived organizational support and psychological contracts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of HRM practices as a critical tool to make the employees more committed to their organization which in turn would affect employee intention to stay or leave the ... -
Photoacoustic discrimination of viable and thermally coagulated blood for burn injury imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Early and accurate determination of burn depth is crucial to monitoring and treatment of the burn wound. One such treatment, surgical excision and grafting, involves removal of necrotic tissue from the wound and replacing ... -
Ratiometric techniques to determine fluid viscosity using molecular rotors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Molecular rotors exhibit viscosity-dependent quantum yield, potentially allowing measurements of fluid viscosity in non-mechanical manner. Several diseases are accompanied by blood plasma viscosity changes; therefore, a ...
