Characterization of SF-hERR[beta] repression of human estrogen receptor alpha and estrogen receptor-beta transcriptional activities
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Discovery of new ways to modulate estrogen actions through estrogen receptor is always exciting because of the importance of estrogen and ERs in many human diseases. In this dissertation, we report our discovery of the ... -
The effects of physical activity on adipose tissue metabolism and DNA methylation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes threatens both the real and economic health of Western counties. There were two major goals of this dissertation, 1) to determine if in response to inactivity and hyperphagia ... -
Exploring the cell surface : identification and characterization of lipoproteins in Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides large colony, Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. capri, and Mycoplasma capricolum subsp. capricolum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The Mycoplasma mycoides cluster is a group of genetically and antigenically related pathogenic bacteria that infect ruminants. The M. mycoides cluster members that are the focus of this discussion are three caprine pathogens: ... -
Glomerulosclerosis in the Col1a2-deficient mouse model : homotrimer pathogenesis and MMP expression
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The Col1a2-deficient (oim) mouse model exclusively synthesizes homotrimeric type I collagen due to the lack of functional pro [alpha] 2(I) collagen chains. The mouse develops a type I collagen glomerulopathy that has ... -
Implementation of a fuzzy rule-based decision support system for the immunohistochemical diagnosis of small B-cell lymphomas
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Integrating the massive amount of new genomic information into medical practice will require new approaches to knowledge management. This need is particularly acute in surgical pathology where the evaluation of diagnostic ... -
In vitro characterization of Nudt16 orthologs by sequence and function provide evidence supporting a nuclear RNA degradation pathway
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)Nudt16, previously called X29, is known to be a metal-dependent decapping enzyme expressed in mammals and Xenopus . Nudt16 has been proposed to be the catalytic component of a previously unknown nuclear RNA degradation ... -
Manual process productivity measurement : for Pre-registration Department in University of Missouri Healthcare
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In the healthcare industry, it is often hard to measure productivity, because the input and the output of the process may be difficult to distinguish ... -
Prediction of clinical events in elderly using sensor data : a case study on pulse pressure
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)The primary goal of this research was to find a link between abnormal levels of daily activities, provided by a sensor monitoring system, and pulse pressure (PP), using data mining algorithms. A widened PP predicts a higher ... -
Role of Sds22 in the regulation of protein phosphatase-1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] GLC7 encodes the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Glc7 binds different regulatory ...
