Transportation of Fish in Bags (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
for several reasons. First, very small fish and fry could be damaged by being shipped in large tanks. Second, due to the extreme distances involved, bag shipment may offer economic advantages over standard tank transportation. This fact sheet will focus...
Vitamin requirements of swine (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Vitamins are essential nutrients for swine. The trend toward complete confinement swine production, however, has focused more attention on the need to supplement practical rations with adequate dietary sources of vitamins. This guide will help swine...
Active solar collectors for farm buildings (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
This article discusses the pros and cons of a variety of solar collectors for use in farm buildings.
Estimating Land Area Requirements for Poultry Operations: Conservative Litter Management Approach (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources requires that a permit or letter of approval be obtained for the construction and/or operation of poultry enterprises above a certain size. In general, turkey and broiler ...
Dead Poultry Composter Project: Bill Ball Composter (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
A grant of EPA funds was made available by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in October 1990 to selected southwest Missouri poultry producers representing each of the five major poultry processing companies. The ...
Measuring Manure Spreader Uniformity (1994)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1994)
Using manure to supply nutrients in a crop fertility program requires that manure be applied at the proper rate in terms of pounds of nutrients per acre. In addition, the manure must be applied uniformly across a field. ...
Storing Poultry Litter (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
Missouri turkey and broiler operations accumulate litter in the production buildings during flock cycles. Litter is removed and spread or stockpiled for later application. Minimal cleanout may be undertaken after each ...
Composting Layer Mortalities: Agri-Foods Composter (1993)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1993)
Composting poultry carcasses is a common way for turkey and broiler operators to manage bird mortalities. However, managers of poultry laying operations face their own set of challenges. In turkey and broiler operations, ...
Calibrating Manure Spreaders (1994)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1994)
Land application is the primary means of using livestock wastes in Missouri. Properly spreading manure on cropland is an environmentally acceptable means of managing wastes and, at the same time, realizing a benefit from ...
Spectrum, volume 06, number 19 (1979)
(University of Missouri, University Information Services, 1979)
Plant growth regulators for cotton (1994)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1994)
Several new plant growth regulators have come on the market for use in cotton in recent years. These plant growth regulators have given growers a new opportunity to influence cotton growth to their advantage. However, this ...
Arkeology, 1999 Spring
(University of Missouri--Columbia. College of Veterinary Medicine, 1999)
Bosonization of the two-dimensional electron gas in the lowest Landau level
(arXiv, 1998)
We develop a bosonization scheme for the collective dynamics of a spinless two- dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the lowest Landau level. The system is treated as a continuous elastic medium, and quantum commutation ...
Rotating cylindrical systems and gravitomagnetism
(arXiv, 1998)
We discuss gravitomagnetism in connection with rotating cylindrical systems. In particular, the gravitomagnetic clock effect is investigated for the exterior vacuum field of an infinite rotating cylinder. The dependence ...
Observable frequency shifts via spin-rotation coupling
(arXiv, 1998)
The phase perturbation arising from spin-rotation coupling is developed as a natural extension of the celebrated Sagnac effect. Experimental evidence in support of this phase shift, however, has yet to be realized due to ...
Spectrum, volume 05, number 17 (1978)

On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
The gravitational ionization of a Keplerian binary system via normally incident periodic gravitational radiation of definite helicity is discussed. The periodic orbits of the planar tidal equation are investigated on the ...
Collective intersubband transitions in quantum wells: A comparative density-functional study
(American Physical Society, 1998)
We use linearized time-dependent (current) density-functional theory to study collective transitions between the two lowest subbands in GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells. We focus on two particular systems, for both of which experimental results...
Electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of bismuth telluride and bismuth selenide
(Institute of Physics, 1997)
The electronic structures of the two thermoelectric materials Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 are
studied using density-functional theory with the spin-orbit interaction included. The electron states in the gap region and the chemical ...
