Keep Your Hands Off These Columns
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2006)
The MU Alumni Association celebrates its 150th anniversary.
Only the columns remain
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2001)
What was it like that night in 1892 when fire destroyed Academic Hall?
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...
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...
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 ...
Ceremony and vision
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2015)
Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin is installed as leader of the University of Missouri.
CoMo A to Z
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2015)
When you think of Columbia, you probably picture the Columns and Jesse Hall, Faurot Field, and Ninth and Broadway. But hidden Gems delight visitors throughout the city. Weird, quirky, bizarre, kooky unusual, oddball and unexpected places and things...
Homosexuality in the Heartland: Alternative Print Media from 1970s Kansas City
(UMKC Honors Program, 2015)
The 1960s and 1970s were full of cultural, political, and social change in the United
States in which activism for civil rights became widespread. These decades are remembered
as a time when ideas about counterculture ...
From apathy to apogee
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2014)
Hardly anyone believed George Redei's research mattered - until it transformed plant science. "An old-school scientist fills his university lab and office with columns of clay-potted plants lit by lines of homemade lamps. For decades, the geneticist...
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 ...
Heart and soul of old Mizzou
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2001)
Today, no one would even whisper that maybe, just maybe, the buildings around Francis Quadrangle should be razed to make way for more modern, utilitarian classroom buildings. That would be almost as heretical as suggesting that the treeless plains...
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, ...
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.
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 ...
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)
We present a radiative transfer model for the circumstellar dust shell around a Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) long-period variable (LPV) previously studied as part of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) survey of the LMC. OGLE LMC LPV...
The interface between the stellar wind and interstellar medium around R Cassiopeiae revealed by far-infrared imaging
(arXiv, 2009)
The circumstellar dust shells of intermediate initial-mass (about 1 to 8 solar masses) evolved stars are generated by copious mass loss during the asymptotic giant branch phase. The density structure of their circumstellar ...
HOPE for the Pell? Institutional Effects in the Intersection of Merit-Based and Need-Based Aid
(Southern Economic Journal, 2006)
Prior empirical evidence finds that general enrollment effects of merit-aid programs such as the Georgia Helping Outstanding Pupils Educationally (HOPE) scholarship are large and significant, while the effects of need-based ...
3-D Dynamics of Interactions between Stellar Winds and the Interstellar Medium as Seen by AKARI and Spitzer
(2009)
Recent far-infrared mapping of mass-losing stars by the AKARI Infrared Astronomy Satellite and Spitzer Space Telescope have suggested that far-infrared bow shock structures are probably ubiquitous around these masslosing stars, especially when...
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...
