Library Connections, 2007 Spring
(University of Missouri--Columbia, MU Libraries, 2007)
Manure/CAFO regualtions update
(University of Missouri Extension, 2007)
This presentation discusses the EPA requirement that new facilities must make phosphorus assessment, and discusses how phosphorus will be managed, suggesting that management strategies for phosphorus can be developed with ...
Watershed planning: a community development process
(University of Missouri Extension, 2007)
Community Development/Watershed Management is a process to counsel, educate, and cooperate with communities as they develop assets to seek solutions and solve problems, directly or indirectly affecting quality of life. ...
Web-Based Tools for Environmental Planning
(University of Missouri Extension, 2007)
This presentation describes the goals of CARES (Center for Agricultural, Resource and Environmental Systems ) to promote understanding of resource issues using information technologies, including Geographic Information ...
Nanoscale observation of delayering in alkane films
(Institute of Physics, 2007)
Tapping-mode Atomic Force Microscopy and synchrotron X-ray scattering measurements on dotriacontane (n-C32H66 or C32) films adsorbed on SiO2-coated Si(100) wafers reveal a narrow temperature range near the bulk C32 melting ...
Pumps and Watering Systems for Managed Beef Grazing (2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2007)
Water for beef cattle may come from wells, ponds, creeks, springs or public water supplies, although the last of these sources can be too costly for watering a large herd year-round. Wells are a prime source of water at ...
Are Internal Capital Markets Good for Innovation?
(2007-07)
Which type of firm is more innovative: the decentralized, diversified corporation or
the smaller, more narrowly focused “entrepreneurial” firm? According to one argument, diversified corporations can do more R&D because ...
Organizational Change and the Analytic Third: Locating and Attending to Unconscious Organizational Psychodynamics
(Psychoanalysis, Culture & Society, 2007)
This article examines the concept of the analytic third in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytically informed organizational change. The analytic third is often defined as the psychological(triangular) space between self and ...
Development of MURR flux trap model for simulation and prediction of sample loading reactivity worth and isotope production
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR) is the highest power university research reactor in America. It has been supplying various radioisotopes for more than 20 years. The flux trap, locating in the center island ...
Polymorphisms in Nucleotide Excision Repair Genes, Arsenic Exposure, and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer in New Hampshire
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2007)
Arsenic exposure may alter the efficiency of DNA repair. UV damage is specifically repaired by nucleotide excision repair (NER), and common genetic variants in NER may increase risk for non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC). We ...
Tidal dynamics in cosmological spacetimes
(Institute of Physics, 2007)
We study the relative motion of nearby free test particles in cosmological spacetimes, such as the FLRW and LTB models. In particular, the influence of spatial inhomogeneities on local tidal accelerations is investigated ...
Imaging 2D Optical Diffuse Reflectance in Skeletal Muscle
(The Optical Society of America, 2007-04)
We discovered a unique pattern of optical reflectance from fresh prerigor skeletal muscles, which can not be described using existing theories. A numerical fitting function was developed to quantify the equiintensity ...
Money for Nothing? The Impact of Changes in the Pell Grant Program on Institutional Revenues and the Placement of Needy Students
(American Education Finance Association, 2007)
Using new institutional-level data, we assess the impact of changing federal aid levels on institutional-level Pell revenues. Using various policy instruments associated with Pell generosity, we quantify the sensitivity ...
Selling strategies for local food producers (2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2007)
For many farmers, marketing and selling their products are the most challenging part of the farm enterprise. However, direct markets for fresh and unique food products are among the most rapidly growing farm opportunities. ...
Improving Mathematics Education in Missouri: There are no silver bullets
(2007)
There is no simple solution to improve student learning opportunities for Missouri students. Rather, we need a “recipe” that will maximize the liklihood of students learning important mathematics.
The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)
With the goal of investigating the degree to which the MIR emission traces the SFR, we analyze Spitzer 8 and 24 m data of star- forming regions in a sample of 33 nearby galaxies with available HST NICMOS images in the Pa ...
Lorentz shear modulus of a two-dimensional electron gas at high magnetic field
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We show that the Lorentz shear modulus—one of the three elastic moduli of a homogeneous electron gas in a magnetic field—can be calculated exactly in the limit of high magnetic field (i.e., in the lowest Landau level) and ...
New Collective Mode in the Fractional Quantum Hall Liquid
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We apply the methods of continuum mechanics to the study of the collective modes of the fractional quantum Hall liquid. Our main result is that at long-wavelength, there are two distinct modes of oscillations, while previous ...
Days suitable for fieldwork in Missouri (2007)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2007)
The number of days available to complete land-based agricultural activities influences decisions about inputs (e.g., variety/hybrid planted, pesticide used) and machinery. Limited fieldwork days during critical times, such ...
Time-dependent density functional theory: Derivation of gradient-corrected dynamical exchange-correlational potentials
(American Physical Society, 2007)
We have recently proposed an approximation for the dynamical exchange-correlation (XC) potentials of time-dependent current-density functional theory beyond the local density approximation [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 036403 ...
