Development of a biosensor for the detection of Helicobacter hepaticus utilizing multi-functioning immobilization platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Optical biosensor development is a process involving the careful selection of the material for the immobilization platform, design of the detection mechanism and integration with optical and electronic equipment. The ability ... -
Development of gold nanoparticle conjugated polyethylene terephthalate for improved biocompatibility in hernia repair materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Synthetic biomaterials are currently a popular choice for use in many surgical soft tissue repair applications. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is an example of such material that has been used, more specifically, for ... -
Geographic information systems used for precision agriculture : knowledge and use by agriculture students at the University of Missouri (MU)
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The use of GIS in PA technology helps manage the information intensive environment in production agriculture by intertwining site-specific (within field) management with computer software modeling for analyses and ... -
Ion transport modeling for retinal rod photoreceptor cells
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)In this study, a mathematical model is developed to describe the ion transport activities associated with the response of rod photoreceptor to light stimulus. In the model, the cell body is modeled as two capacitors connected ... -
Rapid isolation of target bacteria from complex matrices
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The long term goal of the research effort in our group was to develop a new rapid diagnostic process for sepsis. The specific project described in this work aims to obtain these "pure" isolates of the infectious bacteria ...
