Applications of the opto-fluidic ring resonator for DNA methylation analysis and microfluidic laser development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)For several decades, optical ring resonators have played an important role in the field of telecommunications. Within only the past decade however, ring resonators have been applied for the purposes of biological and ... -
Biophysical and photobiological modulations of cellular pathways in Alzheimer's disease
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The overall goal of this thesis work is to study the effects of biomodulations on Alzheimer's disease (AD) related cellular pathways, using biophysical and photobiological methods, including secretory phospholipase A2, ... -
Development of an online planning tool for designing terrace layouts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A web-based conservation planning tool for terrace layouts was created by modifying a terrace location program (TERLOC), developed originally by Sudduth and Gregory (1982) and revised by Ghidey et al. (1992). Development ... -
Development of land-use map for Salt River basin using satellite imagery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The Salt River Basin in northeastern Missouri is the major water supply source for people in the region. There is a need to build a long term simulation and to validate the long term trend of pollutant concentrations in ... -
A modeling approach to ultrasound evaluation of material properties
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A method for estimating the mechanical properties of a viscoelastic sample from ultrasound measurements was developed. The sample was represented as a mechanical network according to the Kelvin-Voigt model and linear ... -
Molecularly imprinted polymer labeled with quantum dots for detection of nitroaromatic explosives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A sensing device for explosive compounds is a fundamental step towards the capability to detect the presence of landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other unexploded ordinance. To detect high explosive ... -
Regulation of L-type calcium channel sparklet activity by PKC and C-src
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Ca2+ sparklets are elementary fluorescence events associated with Ca2+ entry through L-type Ca2+ channels (Cav1.2) channels and are classified as persistent and low activity Ca2+ sparklets. Persistent Ca2+ sparklets are ... -
Switchgrass production in the central claypan region of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Severe soil erosion across the Central Claypan Region of Missouri has been correlated with low productivity as the depth to the claypan horizon ... -
Vascular smooth muscle calcium waves in isolated arterioles : interactions between intraluminal pressure and intracellular calcium handling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Arterioles, an important control element in the circulatory system regulate blood flow in part though a phenomenon known as the 'Myogenic Response'. ...
