• Advances in the fundamental cryobiology of mammalian oocytes 

    Mullen, Steven Francis, 1968- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
    Having effective means to cryopreserve mammalian oocytes could increase the efficiency of managing populations of laboratory animals, increase the effectiveness of breeding programs for livestock, and improve the means by ...
  • Comparative fundamental cryobiology of mouse embryonic stem cells 

    Benson, Corinna Mary Kashuba, 1971- (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) lines are central to projects such as the Knock-Out Mouse Project, which seek to create thousands of mutant mouse strains using mESCs for the production of human disease models. The ability ...
  • The feasibility of interspecific rescue of endothelial/hematopoietic lineage deficiency 

    Zhao, Chongbei (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
    Here we propose to develop a mouse model which will establish “proof of principle” for future development of large animal (e.g. pig) models which could be used as actual human solid organ and blood donors as well as in ...
  • Mathematical problems from cryobiology 

    Benson, James Dale (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
    Cryobiology is the study of life anddeath at low temperatures and provides a fascinating setting for applied mathematics. The interdisciplinary nature of cryobiology mirrors the diversity of applications ranging from animal ...
  • Modeling of thin film evaporation heat transfer and experimental investigation of miniature heat pipes 

    Jiao, Anjun (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    The heat pipe, as one of the most efficient heat transport devices, is a peerless choice in the electronic cooling field. In order to better understand the heat transfer mechanisms of the heat pipe, a heat transfer model, ...
