(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Condensed tannin extraction and retention have long been a problem for cool climate grape growing and winemaking regions where Vitis interspecific hybrid cultivars are grown. Recently, the link has been made between ... -
Risk prediction and an injectable collagen material for intervertebral disc degeneration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)This research primarily focuses on early prediction and treatment for intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD). In Phase 1, machine learning algorithms were evaluated to predict the risk of intervertebral disc degeneration ... -
Rapid detection of pesticide residues in foods using surface-enhanced raman spectroscopy coupled with gold nanostars
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Constant monitoring pesticide residues in foods is an essential part of food safety. In recent years, there is a growing concern about food issues in agricultural products. Tradition testing methods such as high-performance ... -
Lignin dissolution in deep eutectic solvents : a molecular dynamics study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have shown great potential on lignocellulosic biomass pretreatment. Many DESs are capable of extracting lignin from biomass and dissolving hemicellulose while preserving most of cellulose in ... -
Development of tissue based biomaterials for articular cartilage injuries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Multiple biomaterials have been developed in this work. Decellularized porcine diaphragm extracellular matrix was homogenized and supplemented with various biomodulatory agents. It was developed as an injectable material ... -
Using (microchannel) electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to detect bacterial activities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Even though rapid detection of molecular methods has been used in bacterial detection, (automated) liquid culture methods are still the "Gold Standard" for the detection of living bacteria, especially in cases where there ... -
Optimization of bitterness in chocolate through roasting with analysis of related changes in important bitter compounds
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Chocolate is made from the fermented, dried, and roasted seeds of the Theobroma cacao tree, an important agricultural food crop which contains bioactive flavonoid polyphenols with beneficial health effects. Such effects ... -
Hotel job characteristics in china and the United States, an application of the job characteristics model to turnover intention
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)This study investigated hotel employees' job characteristics, their critical psychological states, and their relationship with the hotel employees' turnover intention using the complete Hackman and Oldham's job ... -
Degradation of the veterinary antibiotics in swine manure via anaerobic digestion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Antimicrobial resistance is becoming an imminent danger for human health, in part because of excessive consumption of antibiotics in the animal industry. Laboratory-scale anaerobic digesters (ADs) were utilized to investigate ... -
Quantifying the effect of environments on crop emergence, development and yield using sensing and deep learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)The world population is estimated to increase by 2 billion in the next 30 years, and global crop production needs to double by 2050 to meet the projected demands from rising population, diet shifts, and increasing biofuels ... -
Development of UAV-based high-throughput phenotyping technologies towards improving soybean breeding efficiency
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Development of new crop varieties with improved traits through crop breeding programs is one of the promising solutions for the estimated food crisis in 2050 when agricultural production needs to double its current growth ... -
Four-limb IMU sensors for canine gait analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)Canine models of human musculoskeletal diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), are important translational animal models for developing therapies. Musculoskeletal diseases alter gait performance, and gait ... -
