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...
High strain properties of advanced high strength spot welded steels
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This research was conducted to investigate and characterize the high strain rate compressive loading behavior of DP600 GI, an advanced high strength ...
Broadband beamforming and direction finding using concentric ring array
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
Sensor arrays have been used widely in applications including radar, sonar, seismology, biomedicine, communications and imaging. A very popular type of sensor array is circular array, which has almost invariant array pattern in azimuthal plane...
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...
Quantitative Characterization of Billowed Structures Along the Margins of Basaltic Intrusions to Determine Process and Timing of Formation: Case Studies from Big Bend National Park, Texas and 71 Gulch, Idaho
(2021)
were recognized: linear, sinuous, teardrop, bulbous, circular, transitional, and overprinted. The scale of identified structures is similar between the two localities with insignificant variation in mean wavelength and amplitude of crests and troughs...
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials for arsenic adsorption : surface complexation and intraparticle diffusion
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
performance under different pH conditions, respectively. Surface complexation models (SCM) can be developed to simulate the adsorption performance as a function of pH, arsenic concentrations, and ionic strength. And estimation of important adsorption...
The effects of structural modifications on sigma receptor binding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
by replacing the left phenylpropyl group of SA4503 with an N-iodoallyl group yielded a sigma1 selective ligand (1h-7, E-IA-DM-PE-PIPZ) that had appropriate lipophilicity for penetrating the blood brain barrier in the CNS. The in vivo studies using...
An evaluation of waste plastic in asphalt pavement towards a circular economy
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Incorporating waste plastic into asphalt pavement is an evolving recycling strategy based on a circular economy approach. Dow has cooperated with MU to use optimal recycle plastic to target better pavement performance with less plastic leaking...
Supercell studies of the Fermi surface changes in the electron-doped superconductor LaFeAsO1‑xFx
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We study the changes in the Fermi surface with electron doping in the LaFeAsO1‑xFx superconductors with density-functional supercell calculations using the linearized augmented plane-wave method. The supercell calculations ...
Fully automated deep supervised and unsupervised learning approaches for 3D protein cryo-EM density map reconstruction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
One of the most important components of the human body is the protein. Protein uses for building and repairing tissues, making enzymes and hormones. It is the essential building block of bones, muscles, cartilages, skin ...
Soil testing in Missouri : a guide for conducting soil tests in Missouri (2012)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2012)
testing can be used to find excesses of certain nutrients. The soil testing process consists of: sampling, sample preparation, nutrient extraction and chemical determination of these nutrients, determination of pH and quantity of soil acidity...
Real and Virtual Competition
(Department of Economics, 2007)
model extending the circular city paradigm with two types of firms, conventional and electronic, is studied. Under the benchmark setting with only conventional firms in the market, each consumer visits the nearest store and purchases the product there...
Purification and characterization of A[beta] and probing the interactions between myricetin and A[beta] using various spectroscopic methods

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Worldwide, millions of people suffer from symptoms of memory loss and confusion associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Mounting evidence suggests ...
Strain Gauge Utilization for Aerial Vehicle Dynamic Load Measurement
(2016)
The strain gauge is a commonly used tool for dynamic load and strain measurement of a system. The work presented in this thesis describes the development and evaluation of strain gauges applied to both an aerodynamic ...
Propagation of polarized light in skeletal muscle
