On the Anomalous Silicate Emission Features of AGNs: A Possible Interpretation Based on Porous Dust
(arXiv, 2008)
properties of the obscuring dusty torus around AGNs. Compared to that of the Galactic interstellar medium (ISM), the 10 micron silicate emission profile of type 1 AGNs is broadened and has a clear shift of peak position to longer wavelengths. In literature...
Motional Coherence in Fluid Phospholipid Membranes
(American Physical Society, 2008)
We report a high energy-resolution neutron backscattering study, combined with in situ diffraction, to investigate slow molecular motions on nanosecond time scales in the fluid phase of phospholipid bilayers of ...
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...
Payday Loans in Missouri
(University of Missouri - Columbia Institute of Public Policy, 2008)
customer can be charged as much as a 1,950% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) in comparison
to 12.71% APR on the average credit card. The average APR Missouri customers will pay is around 420%, but the 1,950% APR demonstrates the extreme that is possible under...
Insiders' Views on Business Models Used by Small Agricultural Biotechnology Firms : Economic Implications for the Emerging Global Industry
(AgBioForum, 2008)
The source of most innovations coming from the emerging agricultural biotechnology industry is small and medium enterprises (SMEs), yet SMEs have a high failure rate, which raises questions, such as "is there some flaw in ...
VLT / Infrared Integral Field Spectrometer Observations of Molecular Hydrogen Lines in the Knots in the Planetary Nebula NGC 7293 (the Helix Nebula)
(2008)
Knots are commonly found in nearby planetary nebulae (PNe) and star forming regions. Within PNe, knots are often found to be associated with the brightest parts of the nebulae and understanding the physics involved in knots ...
Faces of Missouri Showme
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2008)
Staffers of Showme Missouri, Mizzou's legendary student-run humor magazine, tell it like it was.
Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices I (ASTROD I) - A class-M fundamental physics mission proposal for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025
(arXiv, 2008)
ASTROD I is a planned interplanetary space mission with multiple goals. The primary aims are: to test General Relativity with an improvement in sensitivity of over 3 orders of magnitude, improving our understanding of ...
Nutritional Skewing of Conceptus Sex in Sheep: Effects of a Maternal Diet Enriched in Rumen-Protected Polyunsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA)
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008)
Evolutionary theory suggests that in polygynous mammalian species females in better body condition should produce more sons than daughters. Few controlled studies have however tested this hypothesis and controversy exists ...
Maxwell's equations in Minkowski's world: their premetric generalization and the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor
(Wiley-VCH, 2008)
In December 1907, Minkowski expressed the Maxwell equations in the very beautiful and compact 4-dimensional form: lor f = −s, lor F∗ = 0. Here 'lor', an abbreviation of Lorentz, represents the 4-dimensional differential ...
Pricing and Welfare Impacts of New Crop Traits : The Role of IPRs and Coase's Conjecture Revisited
(AgBioForum, 2008)
Crop traits are durable when embedded in varieties, and thus they may be subject to Coase's conjecture that monopolists who sell durables may be unable to earn normal monopoly rents, or in the extreme case, not any rents ...
