to the circle of the Coerivy Master. In the case of the Missouri leaf, we are fortunate: enough sister leaves are documented to reconstruct an idea of the manuscript's textual and visual content. These clues suggest that the calendar leafwas part of a unified...
Consumers and GM Food Labels : Providing Information or Sowing Confusion?
(AgBioForum, 2000)
Labeling policies for genetically modified (GM) foods are under intense scrutiny and development worldwide. The fact that Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) -- the international body primarily responsible for food ...
A Matter of Life and Death : "Reading" a Funerary Relief
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2009)
"Funerary monuments from the eastern Roman Empire are both numerous and varied. The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the university of Missouri has a particularly interesting one -- a relief that commemorates a woman named Levitha, who lived...
The Estimated Economic Impact of Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin on New York Dairy Farms for the Years 2994 through 1997
(AgBioForum, 2001)
Data from New York dairy farms for the years 1994 through 1997 were used to estimate whether recombinant bovine Somatotropin (rbST) generated profits for adopters. Results show that the estimated profit impact of rbST, ...
The Identity Crisis of a Roman Empress
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2002)

A regional production network (RPN) refers to a business cooperation system among firms in different countries involving a division of labor to develop, manufacture, and market specific commodities. This study focused on ...
Patterns of Public-Sector and Private-Sector Patenting in Agricultural Biotechnology
(AgBioForum, 2005)
Over the past 20 years, patenting in agricultural biotechnology has grown even faster than the rapid increase in US utility patents. Private firms, universities, and the federal government all increased patenting in agricultural biotechnology...
The comparative advantage of real options : an explanation for the US specialization in biotechnology
(AgBioForum, 2000)
Comparative advantage based on resource endowments cannot explain United States (U.S.) leadership in biotechnology. Sources of heterogeneity within the process of research and development (R&D) investment, such as international ...
Cross Pollination from Genetically Engineered Corn : Wind Transport and Seed Source
