Growth regulation and mitogen binding in established rat ovarian cell lines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1981)Factors capable of supplanting serum in the growth stimulation of established rat ovarian cells in serum-free medium were determined. Among the potential mitogens tested, the most potent combinations consisted of low ... -
Industrialization and authoritarianism in Republic of Korea, 1963-1983
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)This study examines the political consequences of industrial development in South Korea in terms of changes in international economic order and domestic socioeconomic structure. It primarily focuses on the regime’s ... -
Applications of the boundary element method for structural shape optimization
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)In this study, applications of the boundary element method for two- and three-dimensional structural shape optimization are presented. The displacements and stresses of the structure are computed using the boundary element ... -
A theoretical examination of the growth and attenuation of acoustic and entropy waves in ideal MHD generators
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)The results of a theoretical investigation of the interaction between electromagnetic fields and acoustic and entropy waves in a partially ionized gas are presented. The effects of this interaction for combustion-driven ... -
The effect of heat processing conditions upon cholesterol content of a restructured pork/soy hull product
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)The effect of convective heat processing upon cholesterol and cholesterol oxides in a restructured pork/soy hull model system was studied. Thirty different time-temperatures relationships were studied. Quadratic equations ... -
Characterization of pigment-protein complexes in the cyanobacterium Anacystis Nidulans R2
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)Intrinsic membrane proteins associated with photosynthetic electron transfer have highly-conserved analogs in both cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. However, the protein complexes required for light-harvesting are quite ... -
Microbial desugarization of native and treated egg white
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)Native egg white, lysozyme-reduced egg white, and the addition of iron, aluminum, and zinc chloride as substrates were used to study bacterial desugarization . Six bacteria were selected; Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella ... -
Substrate specificity and properties of heat-stable proteases from Pseudomonas fluorescens
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)Extracellular proteases and lipases from strains P26, 32A, Pl, and P27 of Pseudomonas fluorescens were produced using a dialysis membrane method. The proteases were partially purified by molecular exclusion chromatography ... -
A model for the analysis of cohesion and information management in published writing in three disciplines
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)This study proposes a model to compare cohesion and information management in samples of professional writing in three disciplines (counseling psychology, biology, and history). When tested with the chi-square procedure, ... -
Economic analysis of winter vegetable markets in Tunisia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)The rapid development of the non-traditional winter vegetable industry in Tunisia has resulted frequently in domestic market saturation and depressed prices. Frequent complaints suggest that the existing pricing system has ... -
The centrique part : John Donne's Elegies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)"An extended study of the Elegies of John Donne is long overdue. Beyond such notable exceptions as "Going to Bed," "The Perfume," and "The Bracelet," the Elegies, overall, constitute a neglected area of Donne's canon. In ... -
Frederick Buechner : an introduction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)American writer Frederick Buechner has published, since 1950, eleven novels and ten major works of non-fiction. The critical reception of Buechner’s work has been generally problematic; his work has been undervalued, at ... -
Textural properties of coagulated milk products containing soy protein
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1982)The textural properties of coagulated milk products were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Texture Profile Analysis. Soy protein and casein interactions were explored with chemically modified soy proteins. The ... -
Mapping nif genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus, and characterization of a mutant with a pleiotropic defect in nitrogen metabolism
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1988)Mutations affecting the ability of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus to fix nitrogen (Nif- ) have previously been mapped into six linkage groups (I-VI) by transduction with gene transfer agent (GTA). ... -
Modeling and optimization of anaerobic swine waste digestion systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)Mathematical models of the digestion process, an anaerobic digestion system, and an economic analysis of a digestion system were developed. The goal was to accurately simulate the performance of a facility producing less ... -
Genetic analysis of Amanitin resistance in the Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1987)Mutants resistant to oc-amanitin, a fungal toxin that interferes with messenger RNA production by binding to RNA polymerase II, make possible genetic analyses of RNA polymerase II function. The work reported here involves ... -
Compressibility of a mixture of CH4 [plus] CO2 and correlation of compressibility factors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1986)The work presented in this thesis consists of two parts: experimental and correlation. In the experimental part, the pressure-vo1ume - temperature data .for pure methane, and for one composition of methane-carbon dioxide, ... -
Effects of constraint variation on the fatigue growth of surface flaws
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1985)Studies have shown that fatigue growth of semielliptic surface flaws in plates is not adequately predicted solely by stress intensity factor analysis. The variation in stress field triaxiality along the flaw border must ... -
Yeast mutants containing elevated methionine
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1983)Yeasts are deficient in methionine which restricts the nutritive value of the protein. The objective of this research was to produce a methionine-rich mutant. Mutants of Candida tropical is ATCC 1369, Candida tropica!is ... -
