Calculated Height Tendencies in Two Southern Hemisphere Blocking and Cyclone Events: The Contribution of Diabatic Heating to Block Intensification
(American Meteorological Society, 2008-09)
The Zwack-Okossi vorticity tendency equation was used to calculate 500-hPa height tendencies in two intensifying Southern Hemisphere blocking events. The National Centers for Environmental Prediction-
National Center for ...
Bi-modal preferences for Bt maize in the Philippines : a latent class model
(AgBioForum, 2012)
producers and estimate their willingness to pay for Bt seed and other important attributes. Two segments are identified with markedly different willingness to pay and different preferences with respect to information and seed acquisition. The bi...
Battle of the Sundance: Religion and the Navaho-Hopi Land Dispute
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2006)
Gravitational Superenergy Tensor
(arXiv, 1996)
We provide a physical basis for the local gravitational superenergy tensor. Furthermore, our gravitoelectromagnetic deduction of the Bel-Debever-Robinson superenergy tensor permits the identification of the gravitational ...
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 ...
Gravitoelectromagnetism: A Brief Review
(arXiv, 2008)
The main theoretical aspects of gravitoelectromagnetism ("GEM") are presented. Two basic approaches to this subject are described and the role of the gravitational Larmor theorem is emphasized. Some of the consequences of ...
A Climatology of Northern Hemisphere Blocking
(American Meteorological Society, 2006-03)
for a better characterization of blocking events with additional information on blocking parameters such as the location of the blocking center, the intensity, and extension. Additionally, a new tracking procedure has been incorporated following...
The IAU 2000 resolutions for astrometry, celestial mechanics and metrology in the relativistic framework: explanatory supplement
(arXiv, 2003)
This paper discusses the IAU Resolutions B1.3, B1.4, B1.5 and B1.9 (2000) that were adopted during the 24th General Assembly in Manchester, 2000 and provides details and explanations for these Resolutions. It is explained ...
But what do rural consumers in Africa think about GM food?
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2016)
So far, few African countries have accepted genetically modified (GM) crops, despite their high potential for increasing food production. The opinion of African consumers is missing in the debate, especially of those in ...
Gravitomagnetism and the Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1999)
The main theoretical aspects of gravitomagnetism are reviewed. It is shown that the gravitomagnetic precession of a gyroscope is intimately connected with the special temporal structure around a rotating mass that is ...
Beyond Gravitoelectromagnetism: Critical Speed in Gravitational Motion
(arXiv, 2005)
A null ray approaching a distant astronomical source appears to slow down, while a massive particle speeds up in accordance with Newtonian gravitation. The integration of these apparently incompatible aspects of motion in ...
Mass and Metallicity of Five X-Ray-bright Galaxy Groups
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
We present ASCA X-ray observations of a sample of Ðve groups selected from a cross-correlation of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the White et al. optical catalog of groups. These X-rayÈbright groups significantly increase ...
Post-Newtonian Reference Frames for Advanced Theory of the Lunar Motion and a New Generation of Lunar Laser Ranging
(arXiv, 2009)
We construct a set of post-Newtonian reference frames for a comprehensive study of the orbital dynamics and rotational motion of Moon and Earth by means of lunar laser ranging (LLR) with the precision of one millimeter. ...
"People, places, and things:" Network factors matter in the experiences of mental health court participants
(2013)
This paper presents findings regarding the relationship between the social networks of MHC participants and one important outcome, treatment adherence. Poor treatment adherence is associated with poor recovery among people ...
Acute ischemic stroke management review for the hospitalist
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2018-01)
The treatment of acute ischemic stroke is dependent on timely recognition. After ensuring airway, respiratory and circulatory stability, NIHSS should be performed and urgent CT scan obtained. If no exclusions exist, ...
Structure of the gene therapy vector, adeno-associated virus with its cell receptor, AAVR
(eLife Sciences Publications Ltd, 2019)
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors are preeminent in emerging clinical gene therapies. Generalizing beyond the most tractable genetic diseases will require modulation of cell specificity and immune neutralization. ...
A Fugitive Essence: The Public Radio Legacy of Alec Wilder
(1994-12)
Two central goals have motivated the scholarship contained
in this paper. The first of these is to provide an
account of an obscure series of radio programs produced for
public broadcast in the nineteen-seventies (a ...
