Characterizing optical properties in fibrous tissues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Optical methods are promising for non-invasive tissue characterization. Biological tissues can be classified into isotropic tissues and anisotropic tissues. The optical properties of isotropic tissues such as adipose tissue ... -
Electrospinning collagen and hyaluronic acid nanofiber meshes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Osteoporosis is a worldwide burden affecting over 200 million people. There are many risk factors associated with osteoporosis, but they all lead to decreased bone strength and an increased chance of bone fracture. The ... -
Inactivation of foodborne pathogens by fruit wines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Wines produced from grapes have been found to possess bactericidal properties on a number of pathogens in vitro, suggesting possible health benefits that may be derived from microbiological safety. This study investigated ... -
Method for secondary encapsultion [sic] of benzaldehyde for use in ice cream
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Encapsulation of flavors can be applied to the ice cream industry to create novel products in which the flavor release is controlled orlimited to the ... -
Modeling the impact of polystyrene microparticles on toxicity of phenol to Artemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The increasing use and availability of micro and nanoparticles for use in science, technology and daily consumer products has led to unique challenges ... -
Photoacoustic detection and spectral analysis of hemozoin in human leukocytes as an early indicator of malaria infection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Malaria is a blood borne infection affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Usually, malaria is diagnosed only after a patient presents symptoms, including high fever, nausea, and, in advanced cases, coma and ... -
Polyurethane foams made from bio-based polyols
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Polyurethane (PU) foams have great applications in industry. The raw materials of PU, polyol and isocyanate, are conventionally derived from petroleum. Bio-based polyols are promising substitutes for petrochemical polyols ... -
Processing and properties of quinoa cake
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Quinoa is a pseudocereal originated in the Andean region. The seeds are gluten-free and are highly appreciated for their balanced composition of ... -
Profile of Missouri Norton wine aroma using solid phase microextraction of headspace, gas chromatography-olfactometry, mass spectrometry
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Ten Norton wines from across the state of Missouri were analyzed using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/olfactometry (GC/MS/O) in order to catalog common volatile compounds. Extraction of volatile compounds was performed ... -
Regional heterogeneity of adventitial elastin in the arteriolar wall reflects differences in the mechanical environment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)Adventitial elastin provides structural and mechanical support for arterioles. While elastin quantities are known in arterioles, the structure of elastin fibers and distribution of elastin throughout the vessel was unknown. ...
