A catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies
(American Astronomical Society, 1999)
A catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of [3¡ declination is presented. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of
three or more galaxies...
Keep Your Hands Off These Columns
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2006)
The MU Alumni Association celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Choosing Between Increased Means and Reduced Variance : Implications for Genetically Modified Crops
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2014)
Plant genetic modifications can affect farm profitability through two pathways -- the reduction in risk or variation in production or shifts in the relative productivity of inputs. This analysis examines the potential ...
Those fabulous fifties
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1976)
"Remember column sitting? Jesse Wrench? The great panty raid? This story is for you."--Table of contents for issue....
Detection of a Far-Infrared Bow-Shock Nebula Around R Hya: the First MIRIAD Results
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
. With our unique mapping strategy, we have achieved better than 1 MJy sr 1 sensitivity in 3 hr of integration and successfully detected a faint (!5 MJy sr 1), extended (∼400 ) far-infrared nebula around the asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star R Hya. Based...
Ice chemistry in embedded young stellar objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
We present spectroscopic observations of a sample of 15 embedded young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These observations were obtained with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) as part
of ...
Applying the Polarization Memory Effect in Polarization-gated Subsurface Imaging
(The Optical Society of America, 2006-05)
Polarization memory is a well established phenomenon occurring when circularly polarized light propagates in turbid media of larger particles. Recent studies have demonstrated that the circularly crosspolarized imaging can ...
Mizzou: then and now
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2010)
The Columns. Jesse Hall. Memorial Union. When years and miles separate alumni from the University of Missouri, sentimental Tigers may daydream of these architectural icons. But with roughly 16.5 million square feet and an ever-changing landscape...
The Measurement of the Light Deflection from Jupiter: Experimental Results
(arXiv, 2003)
We have determined the relativistic light deflection of the quasar J0842+1835 as Jupiter passed within 3.7' on 2002 September 8, by measuring the time delay using the VLBA and Effelsberg radio telescopes at 8.4 GHz. At closest approach, General...
New Campaign at Tel Anafa 1978
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1978)
"The mound in Upper Galilee, now known as Tel Anafa -- the Mound of the Heron -- was an ancient settlement of some importance on the trade route between Tyre and Damascus. Its ancient name has not yet been ascertained. ...
Electromagnetic waves in a rotating frame of reference
(arXiv, 2003)
We discuss the electromagnetic measurements of rotating observers and study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a uniformly rotating frame of reference. The phenomenon of helicity-rotation coupling is elucidated ...
Tiger tales : the black and gold heritage keeps the rah! in Mizzou
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1980)
"Alumni Association provides heritage for incoming freshmen."--Table of contents for issue.
A Moabite Shrine Group
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1978)
"The recovery of the material remains of man's past, the main objective of much archaeological excavation, has long been accomplished with great success. The interpretation of the objects recovered is not always so simple, ...
Epitaphs and tombstones of Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus
(2002)
Tombstones and their epitaphs yield excellent evidence on the nature of the population of Hellenistic and Roman Cyprus. Analysis of these monuments can reveal who the deceased were, their social classes, ethnic origins, ...
Analysis of Clipping Effect in Color Images Captured by CCD Cameras
(IEEE, 2004-10)
Camera sensors (CCD) have a limited dynamic range that constrains the brightness of the incident light that can be quantified. In other words, if the ray of incident light is too intense, the sensor saturates and the ...
The mass-loss return from evolved stars to the Large Magellanic Cloud. III. Dust properties for carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
at an excitation temperature of about 1000 K and column densities of 3 × 1021 cm-2 and 1019 cm-2 respectively are able to reproduce the observations. Given that the excitation temperature is close to the temperature of the dust at the inner radius, most...
Effect of a single AGE modification on the structure and chaperone activity of human alphaB-Crystallin
(American Chemical Society, 2007)
[alpha]B-crystallin (K90C) by covalent modification of the cysteine residue with N-(2-bromoethyl)-3-oxidopyridinium hydrobromide. The AGE-modified K90C-[alpha]B-crystallin is termed as K90C-OP. We compared the structural and functional properties of K90C...
Investigations at a Small Greek City

Blare of the Horns
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2018)
The Mizzou Alumni Association's Homecoming parade strides across campus and downtown Columbia, where century-old storefronts set a lively scene for this great American tradition.
Supercell studies of the Fermi surface changes in the electron-doped superconductor LaFeAsO1‑xFx
(American Physical Society, 2008)
-Z shrink in size, and the third hole pocket around Z disappears for an electron-doping concentration in excess of about 7%-8%, while the two elliptical electron cylinders along M-A expand in size. The spin-orbit coupling does not affect the Fermi surface...
