Irrationality of Power Series for Various Number Theoretic Functions
(2005)
We study formal power series whose coefficients are taken to be a variety of number theoretic functions, such as the Euler, Möbius and divisor functions. We show that these power series are irrational over ℤ [X], and we obtain lower bounds...
Mathematics textbooks and state curriculum standards : an analysis of the alignment between the written and intended curricula
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
populous states that use a system of statewide textbook adoption and the five most populous states that are "open territory" comprised the state sample, while two popular elementary (K-6) textbook series and two popular middle grades (6-8) textbook series...
New examples of noncommutative Λ(p) sets
(2003)
In this paper, we introduce a certain combinatorial property Z*(k), which is defined for every integer k ≥ 2, and show that every set E ⊂ Z with the property Z*(k) is necessarily a noncommutative Λ (2k) set. In
particular, ...
Latino Immigration and Meatpacking in the Rural Midwest : An Inventory of Community Impacts and Responses
(Cambio Center, 2002)
This paper discusses Latino immigration to the rural Midwest as one micro effect of the macro process of economic globalization. Impacts of Latino immigrants moving into rural communities, and what communities have done ...
Climate Change for Biotechnology? UK Public Opinion 1991- 2002
(AgBioForum, 2003)
The 1991 2002 Eurobarometer surveys show a steady decline in optimism about biotechnology in the United Kingdom (UK)
through the 1990s. After 1999, there is more optimism and less opposition to agri-food biotechnologies. The paper discusses...

Crude Oil and Stock Markets: Stability, Instability, and Bubbles
(Department of Economics, 2008)
in the cointegrating and error correction matrices, we find evidence for breaks after 1980:5, 1988:1, and 1999:9. We find a clear long-run relationship between these series for six OECD countries for 1971:1-1980.5 and 1988:2-1999.9, suggesting that stock market indices...
Classification of air pollution regimes in the Missouri region
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
High levels of ground level ozone have been linked to large-scale weather patterns both at the surface and in the upper atmosphere. For this reason, the main focus of this study was to analyze the atmospheric conditions ...
Trust and Distrust in Biotechnology Risk Managers : Insights from the United Kingdom, 1996-2002
(AgBioForum, 2008)
. Using Eurobarometer data we show that public trust in risk managers declined from 1996 to 1999 but rebounded sharply between 1999 and 2002. Using canonical discriminant analysis we find that trust is correlated with knowledge of science, as well...
Globalization and Latino labor: Labor advocates' accounts of meatpacking in rural Missouri
(Cambio Center, 2002)
This paper presents labor advocates' accounts of the common problems faced by Latino/a workers employed in the Missouri meatpacking industry and the potential strategies they identify for addressing them. Information is ...
Scholarly productivity of U.S. LIS faculty
(Library & Information Science Research, 2006)
One aspect of faculty effectiveness can be measured through research productivity, and publication and citation rates can serve as an indicator of that productivity. This study, the fourth in a series to examine LIS faculty and program productivity...
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)
period of 1992 - 2003. Several techniques are developed to improve the processing and analysis of both low and high resolution elevation change time series. Our research results show that the majority of the East Antarctica interior regions are thickening...
News media's asymmetric response to the economy and its impact on the public perception
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
media's negatively asymmetric response was diminished in idential election years compared to non-election periods. In so doing, the news coverage of consumer price, unemployment, and the economy in general on the front pages of three newspapers...

The Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) conducted two separate analyses of the final decisions on CAP reform in the Agenda 2000 using its models of EU and world agriculture. The FAPRI unit at Iowa State ...
Extracting a Common Stochastic Trend: Theory with Some Applications
(Department of Economics, 2008)
that the asymptotic Gaussianity and the validity of the conventional inference for the maximum likelihood procedure extends to a larger class of more general state space models involving integrated time series. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of this class...
Interannual and interdecadal variability in the predominant Pacific region SST anomaly patterns and their impact on climate in the mid-Mississippi valley region
(Centro Ciencias Atmosfera UNAM, 2007-02)
Previous research has demonstrated that Pacific Region SSTs and SST anomalies can be separated into seven general synoptic classifications (“clusters”) (A-G). Clusters B and G (C, D, and F) [A and E] were shown to be generally representative of La...
Examination of the levels of Cogitive Demand Required by Probability Tasks in Middle Grades Mathematics Textbooks
(Statistics Education Research Journal (SERJ), 2007-11)
We analyze probability content within middle grades (6, 7, and 8) mathematics
textbooks from a historical perspective. Two series, one popular and the other
alternative, from four recent eras of mathematics education ...

Disaggregate forecasting models : application to Ameren UE's transformer usage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
Ameren's transformer usage. Historical transformer usage was attributed to three primary causes: new construction, storm and emergency, and general maintenance. Each of these displayed a distinctive demand pattern, thus a specific forecast was made...
