Intramolecular and lattice melting in n-alkane monolayers : an analog of melting in lipid bilayers
(American Physical Society, 1999)
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and neutron diffraction experiments have been performed on n-dotriacontane ( n-C32D66) monolayers adsorbed on a graphite basal- plane surface. The diffraction experiments show little ...
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...
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 ...
Liquid crystalline states for two-dimensional electrons in strong magnetic fields
(American Physical Society, 2004)
Based on the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory of two-dimensional melting and the analogy between Laughlin states and the two-dimensional one-component plasma, we investigate the possibility of liquid ...
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 ...
Relativistic Reference Frames for Astrometry and Navigation in the Solar System
(arXiv, 2006)
Astrophysical space missions deliver invaluable information about our universe, stellar dynamics of our galaxy, and motion of celestial bodies in the solar system. Astrometric space missions SIMand Gaia will determine distances to stars...
A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010)
A test for the rank of a vector error correction model (VECM) or panel VECM based on the well-known trace test is proposed. The proposed test employs instrumental variables (IV's)generated by a class of nonlinear functions ...
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 ...
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...
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 ...
A systematic literature review on image information needs and behaviors
(2020)
Purpose: With ready access to search engines and social media platforms, the way people find image information has evolved and diversified in the past two decades. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the ...
Gravitomagnetic effects in the propagation of electromagnetic waves in variable gravitational fields of arbitrary-moving and spinning bodies
(arXiv, 2001)
post-Minkowskian approximation that is linear with respect to the universal gravitational constant $G$. We do not restrict ourselves with the approximation of gravitational lens so that the solution of light geodesics is applicable for arbitrary...

(University of Missouri - Columbia Institute of Public Policy, 2008)
This report summarizes how proposals to revise the Missouri Constitution and Missouri laws are submitted to the voters for
approval and provides information about all measures submittedto the voters since 1910....
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 ...
The Identity Crisis of a Roman Empress
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2002)
Hyperactivity and Hyperagreement in Bantu
(2011)
Many Bantu languages exhibit A-movements and patterns of iterating agreement that are disallowed in Indo-European languages. In Minimalist theory, both agreement and movement are constrained by an Activity requirement ...
Scale and Transaction Costs in the U.S. Biopower Industry
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2007)
With increasing interest in renewable energy from agriculture, including biopower and cellulose ethanol, there is a need for better understanding of the economic organization of this emerging industry. Study of the ...
Gravimagnetism, Causality, and Aberration of Gravity in the Gravitational Light-Ray Deflection Experiments
(arXiv, 2007)
Experimental verification of the existence of gravimagnetic fields generated by currents of matter is important for a complete understanding and formulation of gravitational physics. Although the rotational (intrinsic) ...
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, ...
