Autocryopicker : an unsupervised learning approach for fully automated single particle picking in Cryo-EM images
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
which is much faster and more accurate than traditional K-means and Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithms for single particle clustering. Our particle picking method, based on image cleaning and shape detection with a modified Circular Hough Transform algorithm...
Investigating short-term and long-term binder performance of high-RAP mixtures containing waste cooking oil
(Periodical Offices of Chang- an University, 2019)
The environmental and economic benefits of recycling asphalt pavements have received much attention in recent years. Because of the increase in the cost of raw materials and energy carriers, the reuse of large portions of ...
Gravitomagnetic Accelerators
(arXiv, 2010)
We study a simple class of time-dependent rotating Ricci-flat cylindrically symmetric spacetime manifolds whose geodesics admit gravitomagnetic jets. The helical paths of free test particles in these jets up and down ...
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 ...
Gamma oscillations in the basolateral amygdala : biophysical mechanisms and computational consequences
(Society for Neuroscience, 2019)
The basolateral nucleus of the amygdala (BL) is thought to support numerous emotional behaviors through specific microcircuits. These are often thought to be comprised of feedforward networks of principal cells (PNs) and ...
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 ...
Mechanized agriculture : machine adoption, farm size, and labor displacement
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2015)
Mechanization in such countries as the United States and Canada has dramatically reshaped the agricultural landscape since the time of early settlement. The introduction of new technologies -- such as the mechanical tomato ...
Understanding Agricultural Species Metapopulation Biology and Ecology and the Implications for Coexistence in Low Level of Presence Scenarios
(AgBioForum, 2012)
The intraspecific movement of novel traits in agriculture involves a metapopulation that includes cropped, volunteer, and feral subpopulations as well as a latent population comprised of any viable seed anywhere within the ...
Papillomavirus DNA not detected in canine lobular orbital adenoma and normal conjunctival tissue
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
. Enucleation and exenteration reduces the likelihood of recurrence, but is a radical therapeutic option for an otherwise visual and comfortable eye. Human papillomavirus causes 4.5 percent of worldwide cancers in people and has been identified in up to 23...

An Economic Evaluation of US Biofuel Expansion Using the Biofuel Breakeven Program with GHG Accounting
(AgBioForum, 2011)
We present results from an application of the Biofuel Breakeven program (BioBreak) to 14 US cellulosic ethanol markets that vary by feedstock and location. BioBreak estimates the economic costs of cellulosic biofuel ...
A new approach to the classification of Gaelic song
(2018-03)
"A good deal of water has flowed under the bridge since James Ross published “A
Classification of Gaelic Folk-Song” in 1957.1 Ross’s study was typical of a time when scholars
favored a clinical and taxonomical approach to ...
Preserved for Eternity on Obsidian : A Baroque Painting Showing the Miracle of Milk at St. catherine of Alexandria's Martyrdom
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2012)
"After the beheading of St. catherine of Alexandria, milk flowed from her body instead of blood. Artists almost never depicted this scene in art, preferring to paint the more dramatic moment of catherine with the infamous ...
Genetically modified salmon for dinner? : transgenic salmon marketing scenarios
(AgBioForum, 2013)
Increasing demand for fish must be satisfied sustainably, and genetically modified (GM) fish will probably be part of the solution. This article aims to describe the future trends in the salmon-farming sector and the ...
Labeling GM food in India : anticipating the effects on GM brinjal and rice marketing chains
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2015)
Several genetically modified (GM) food crops have reached an advanced stage in the research and regulatory pipeline in India. The government of India is in the process of introducing a mandatory labeling policy for GM food. ...
Florida citrus growers' first impressions on genetically modified trees
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
Citrus greening is jeopardizing the Florida citrus industry. A line of research some expect to be the ultimate solution to the disease is developing trees that are resistant to it by using genetic modification. Little, ...
