Truth, Meaning, and Circularity
(Springer Verlag, 2008)
hold that the combination has a circular account of the order in which one comes to know the meaning of a sentence and comes to know its truth condition. I show that these arguments fail to identify any circularity. Arguments of the second strain hold...
Theoretical prediction of spectral and optical properties of bacteriochlorophylls in thermally disordered LH2 antenna complexes
(American Institute of Physics, 2006)
mechanical modeling, is demonstrated by calculating the absorption and circular dichroism spectra of the B800-B850 bacteriochlorophylls of the LH2 antenna complex from Rs. molischianum at room temperature. The calculated spectra are found to be in good...
Subdiffusion and lateral diffusion coefficient of lipid atoms and molecules in phospholipid bilayers
(American Physical Society, 2009)
We use a long, all-atom molecular-dynamics MD simulation combined with theoretical modeling to investigate the dynamics of selected lipid atoms and lipid molecules in a hydrated diyristoyl-phosphatidylcholine
lipid ...
Investigation of the presence of charge order in magnetite by measurement of the spin wave spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Inelastic neutron scattering results on magnetite (Fe3O4) show a large splitting in the acoustic spin wave branch, producing a 7 meV gap midway to the Brillouin zone boundary at q=(0,0,1∕2) and ℏω=43 meV. The splitting occurs below the Verwey...
Sustained resonance: a binary system perturbed by gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 2000)
damping as well as an external tidal perturbation. For further simplification, we assume that the external tidal perturbation is caused by a normally incident circularly polarized monochromatic gravitational wave. In this case, the second-order partially...
Gravitomagnetism and the Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1999)
clock effect. This remarkable effect, which involves the difference in the proper periods of a standard clock in prograde and retrograde circular geodesic orbits around a rotating mass, is discussed in detail. The implications of this effect...
Dynamics of extended spinning masses in a gravitational field
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We develop a first-order approximation method for the influence of spin on the motion of extended spinning test masses in a gravitational field. This approach is illustrated for approximately circular equatorial motion in the exterior Kerr spacetime...
On Measuring Gravitomagnetism via Spaceborne Clocks: A Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1998)
The difference in the proper azimuthal periods of revolution of two standard clocks in direct and retrograde orbits about a central rotating mass is proportional to J/Mc^2, where J and M are, respectively, the proper angular ...
The Gazelle Mosaic : An Inhabited Scroll in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1997)
-in-trade of Roman and Early Byzantine mosaic art. On display at the Museum of Art and Archaeology is a circular mosaic fragment representing a gazelle kneeling in the middle of an acanthus scroll, which is a particularly interesting example of this type...
Numerical Methods for the Simulation of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)
We describe computational tools that have been developed to simulate dynamical mass transfer in semidetached, polytropic binaries that are initially executing synchronous rotation upon circular orbits.
Initial equilibrium ...
Relativistic Effects in the Motion of the Moon
(arXiv, 2000)
The main general relativistic effects in the motion of the Moon are briefly reviewed. The possibility of detection of the solar gravitomagnetic contributions to the mean motions of the lunar node and perigee is discussed.
VLT / Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer Observations of Molecular Hydrogen Lines in the Knots in the Planetary Nebula NGC 7293 (the Helix Nebula)
(2008)
Large Telescope at high spatial resolution (50-125 mas). With spatially resolved 2 micron spectra, we find that the H2 rotational temperature within the cometary knots is uniform. The rotational-vibrational temperature of the cometary knot (situated...
Vocal and Choral Techniques in England: 1980-1910
(1981)
The main task of this paper will lie in the summation of various vocal techniques, followed by a summation of various choral techniques. It will be argued that voice teachers significantly influenced choral conductors. ...
Turning again in Tibullus 1.5
(2002)
in the elegy, or based interpretation of it upon: 1) the [... ] in general, or 2) a specially developed form of the [ ... ], or 3) a statement of pessimism vs. guarded optimism with a remarkable, "oracular" close, or 4) a skillfully developed interplay...
General Relativistic Theory of Light Propagation in the Field of Radiative Gravitational Multipoles
(arXiv, 2005)
The extremely high precision of current radio/optical interferometric observations and the unparalleled sensitivity of existing (LIGO) and future (LISA, ASTROD) gravitational-wave detectors demand a much better theoretical ...
Effect of a single AGE modification on the structure and chaperone activity of human alphaB-Crystallin
(American Chemical Society, 2007)
During aging, human lens proteins undergo several post-translational modifications, one of which is glycation. This process leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which accumulate with time possibly ...
Astrometric Effects of Secular Aberration
(arXiv, 2005)
One of the main endeavors of fundamental astrometry is to establish a practical realization of an inertial reference frame anchored to celestial objects whose positions are defined in the barycentric coordinates of the ...
The SAGE-Spec Spitzer Legacy program: The life-cycle of dust and gas in the Large Magellanic Cloud: Point source classification I.
(arXiv, 2010)
We present the classification of 197 point sources observed with the Infrared Spectrograph in the SAGE-Spec Legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope. We introduce a decision-tree method of object classification based ...
The Mass-loss Return from Evolved Stars to the Large Magellanic Cloud. II. Dust Properties for Oxygen-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)
We model multi-wavelength broadband UBVIJHKs and Spitzer IRAC and MIPS photometry and Infrared Spectrograph spectra from the SAGE and SAGE-Spectroscopy observing programs of two oxygen-rich asymptotic giant branch (O-rich ...
Bioeconomy and the production of novel food products from agro-industrial wastes and residues under the context of food neophobia
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2018)
Advances in bioeconomy lead to exploitation of wastes for the production of high added-value products. Sometimes, these products face consumer resistance due to a phenomenon known as "neophobia." The aim of this study was ...
