How well can one get to know a Strawsonian person?
(International Phenomenological Society, 1974)
I shall argue that one cannot get to know a Strawsonian person, to speak in a popular way. To speak more philosophically, Strawson has a metaphysical theory of persons which involves serious epistemological difficulties. ...
Structure and melting of submonolayer ethane films on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1979)
Elastic neutron diffraction has been used to study the structure and melting of submonolayer ethane films physisorbed on exfoliated graphite. Analysis of the relative intensity of seven Bragg reflections of the film yields ...
Descartes's Self-Doubt
(Duke University Press, 1975)
I shall contend that even though Descartes is sometimes certain that he exists, he sometimes doubts that he exists. He believes that two kinds of things exist when he knows that he exists. On the one hand, what exist are ...
Feature Extraction in Images
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 1971-10)
The problem considered is the extraction of features from a complicated set of images. In this approach the basic concepts used in the feature extraction process are: 1)an algorithm that enumerates regions; 2)a search for ...
Exponential temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of V3Si
(American Physical Society, 1976)
We report the results and interpretation of precision measurements of the electrical resistivity of V3Si in the temperature range Tc≤T≤77 K. Four samples of a wide range in residual resistance ratio (RRR) and with 15.1≤Tc≤16.8 ...
Application of empirical interatomic potentials to the calculation of the structure and dynamics of paraffin molecules adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1979)
The adsorption of a single molecule of ethane, propane, and butane on a basal-plane surface of graphite is investigated using empirically derived carbon-hydrogen and carbon-carbon potentials. The principal motivation for ...
Intramolecular and Surface Vibratory Modes of Butane Adsorbed on Graphite Observed by Inelastic Neutron Scattering
(American Physical Society, 1977)
Inelastic and elastic neutron scattering have been used to study the dynamics and structure of butane (C4H10) adsorbed on a graphitized carbon powder at 77 K. In addition to the intramolecular vibrations found in the bulk ...
Infant Rumination Syndrome
(1979-03)
The infant rumination syndrome is an uncommon disorder difficult to differentiate from commoner conditions causing vomiting and weight loss. Its validity has recently been questioned. Its importance is heightened by the ...
Diagnosis and Treatment of Disorders of Defecation in Children
(1976-11)
This article discusses the physiology of fecal continence and disorders of defecation in childhood.
Some Problems about Being and Predication in Plato's Sophist 242-249
(Johns Hopkins University Press, 1976)
One of the central tasks which Plato sets for himself in the Sophist is to say what being is. In doing this he makes a variety of philosophical moves. The first is to show that non-being in a very restricted sense of the ...
Chemistry and toxicology of quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine acaricides
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1976-04)
Several of the newer synthetic organic or "second generation" acaricides are widely used for control of phytophagous mites and ticks. Quinoxaline, organotin, organofluorine, and formamidine compounds are among the newer ...
You've come a long way babies : Mizzou's critical newborn care unit can say to premies,
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"The range of illness or defects in sick newborns is so great that a critical care nursery almost has to be in a large medical center to be effective."--Page 11
The Cyprus connection
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"Pilgrims made their way to this ancient sanctuary on the southern shores of Cyprus to worship Apollo and earlier cult gods as yet undiscovered by archaeologists like Mizzou's David Soren."--Page 9
The wizard of econ
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"[John] Kuhlman makes the exploration of economics a grand pilgrimage. He has more in mind for his students than mastering his own academic discipline. Economics is the means. The end is the ability to think, reason and ...
Can a big campus be a caring campus? : an interview with Barbara Uehling
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
Summary: Interview with the chancellor of the University discussing complications with the size of the growing institution.
'When I decided to attend Mizzou, my friends thought I was nuts'

Big time football : the party-time game
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"It's a lot of fun for Columbia merchants, too. One estimates each game brings in $2 million."--Table of contents for issue.
Your voice from the campus
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"Missouri Alumnus magazine first came off the press in October 1912. There's nothing special about that date except that it marks the Mizzou periodical as one of the oldest alumni publications in the nation."--Page 7
The older student comes to campus
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1979)
"Each year, students over 25 years of age make up a larger proportion of the university populations."--
