Automated detection of amperometric spikes resulting from quantal exocytosis and estimation of spike and pre-spike foot signal parameters
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Electrochemical microelectrodes can detect single-vesicle release events as "spikes" of amperometric current. We developed a template based "matched-filter" approach that performs least squares fit of a library of templates ... -
Climate change impacts on hydrologic components and occurrence of drought in an agricultural watershed
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)The study on potential acceleration of future hydrologic cycle due to change in precipitation and increase in temperature are essential for managing natural resources and setting policy. The impact of future climate change ... -
Green solvent-enabled biomass conversion for renewable chemicals and lignin upgrading
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Lignocellulosic biomass, which is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, is a promising feedstock for producing renewable chemicals and fuels. To make lignocellulosic biomass-based refinery (biorefinery) ...
