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...
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...
Felix convivum : platters and transformations of dining behavior in the Roman world
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Most people in the Roman world used ceramic tableware, despite its absence in iconographical and in literary sources. This observation leads to many ...
Purification and characterization of A[beta] and probing the interactions between myricetin and A[beta] using various spectroscopic methods
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
[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 ...
Gravitation and Nonlocality
(arXiv, 2001)
The physical basis of the standard theory of general relativity is examined and a nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is described that involves a natural generalization of the hypothesis of locality. The nonlocal ...
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...
Design and construction of multicomponent spheroidal assemblies on the nano-scale via the self-assembly approach
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
spherical multicomponent assemblies via the selfassembly approach. Chapter 2 will describe the formation of very large molecular capsules based upon the self-assembly of six macrocycles called the C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes. These molecular capsules are held...
Single carrier frequency domain equalization for broadband wireless communications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] This thesis discusses different channel estimation techniques, channel equalization and various diversity schemes for broadband wireless communication ...
Kinematic analysis of cam profiles used in compound bows
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
for an eccentric-circular cam design and a one-cam one-pulley design. By iteratively determining the bow limb, cam, and cable positions a relationship between the drawn length and drawn force will produce a draw-force curve. In fact, this curve represents...
Liming in Missouri in the 20th century
(University of Missouri--Columbia, Agricultural Experiment Station, 2003)
The following are objectives of this publication ... Provide a condensed history of liming research and practices in Missouri ... Summarize the methods in use at the end of the Twentieth Century to estimate the need for ...
Supercritical CO2 extraction of porogen phase: An alternative route to nanoporous dielectrics
(Materials Research Society, 2004)
We present a supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) process for the preparation of nanoporous organosilicate thin films for ultralow dielectric constant materials. The porous structure was generated by SCCO2 extraction of a sacrificial ...
Studies of natural products that reveal novel strategies for efficient modification of DNA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
novel molecular recognition features of the natural product azinomycin using similar tools (Chapter 4). We characterized novel, reversible chemical reactions of leinamycin (Chapter 3). Amongst these were reversible DNA-alkylation and reversible adduct...
Roof Gutters for Dairy Barns (2009)
(University of Missouri Extension, 2009)
Roof gutters may be needed with livestock facilities to divert clean water from contaminated lot runoff and minimize the total quantity of waste effluent requiring proper disposal.
Decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from satellite radar altimetry and its contribution to global sea level change
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In this research, we estimated the decadal mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet using the European Space Agency's ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellite radar ...
Organizational citizenship behavior as a measure of performance in sport : relationships with leadership, team cohesion, and athlete satisfaction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
university and a smaller Division III university representing a variety of sports participated in the study. Results of the study provided evidence for OCB as a valid measure of performance in sport. Results also supported the hypothesized circular...
