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

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 ...
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...
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 ...
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...
Tiger tales : the black and gold heritage keeps the rah! in Mizzou

"Alumni Association provides heritage for incoming freshmen."--Table of contents for issue.
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 ...
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, ...
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...
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 ...
Impact of Biotech Grains on Market Structure and Societal Welfare
(AgBioForum, 2002)
We quantify the economic impact of introducing genetically modified (GM) crops. Short-run results suggest that it might be optimal to maintain the identity of a greater proportion of non-GM grain than is currently demanded ...
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.
Ye olde ed

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...
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...
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...
