Nanofibrillation of lignocellulosic biomass into lignin-containing nanocellulose for 3D printing and antimicrobial applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Lignin-containing nanocellulose (LNC) has become an emerging subcategory of nanocellulose. Compared toedtraditional pure nanocellulose, LNC contains lignin and hemicellulose that are not fully removed from original ...
Modelling and analysis of energy metabolism in postmortem muscle
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Fresh-meat quality is largely determined by a number of biochemical reactions during the conversion of muscle to meat. To produce consistent high-quality meat, it is necessary to have an understanding of energy metabolism ...
Novel methods for quantifying lung and cardiac diseases with magnetic resonance imaging
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an advanced imaging technique that has transformed the field of medical diagnosis and treatment. In the field of lung and cardiac imaging, MRI boasts the ...
Creating a zero-waste soy processing system and developing vitamin B12 fortified non-GMO high oleic soy-based products using encapsulation technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] High-oleic (HO) soybeans contain approximately 72-75 percent of oleic acid and 20 percent or less saturated fatty acids as compared to the traditional soybean variety. High levels of oleic acid ...
A simplified holistic model of pulmonary oxygen transfer and its application in assessing exercise ability of pulmonary patients
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2024] Cardio-respiratory fitness is important in predicting health outcomes as it reflects one's capability to deliver and utilize oxygen. In this research, we first developed a simplified holistic ...
Imaging structurual and mechanical properties in cardiovascular tissue using optical polarization tractography
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. Every 36 seconds, one person dies from CVD [1]. Structural deficiencies and secondary changes induced by either abnormal functioning ...
The impact of adverse maternal environments on resistance artery function and mechanical characteristics in offspring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Maternal obesity, gestational diabetes mellitus (GMD) and assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been associated with cardiovascular deficiencies ...
Detecting estrus in sows using a robotic imaging system and neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
The global demand for pork products is expected to grow further with the growth of the population. Traditional swine farming presents disadvantages such as low breeding efficiency and high labor cost. Estrus detection is ...
I. Infection control: exploration of siliceous zeolite MFI films as coatings for implantable devices II. Alternative approaches for post-operative infection control using pre-and pro-biotics: a meta-analysis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
The prevention and control of infections associated with indwelling medical implants has remained a top goal for biomedical researchers and clinicians in associated fields. Multiple routes have been explored for this ...
Multi-scale self-assembly of nanoenergetic materials utilizing functionalized graphene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
The work described here-in focuses on the synthesis and characterization of novel nanoenergetic materials and is driven by overcoming the disadvantages of traditional nanoenergetic composites, improving the energetic ...
