Horseman in Bronze : A Belt from Urartu
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2005)
Interannual and interdecadal variability in the predominant Pacific region SST anomaly patterns and their impact on climate in the mid-Mississippi valley region
(Centro Ciencias Atmosfera UNAM, 2007-02)
Previous research has demonstrated that Pacific Region SSTs and SST anomalies can be separated into seven general synoptic classifications (“clusters”) (A-G). Clusters B and G (C, D, and F) [A and E] were shown to be generally representative of La...
Post-Newtonian Reference Frames for Advanced Theory of the Lunar Motion and a New Generation of Lunar Laser Ranging
(arXiv, 2009)
We construct a set of post-Newtonian reference frames for a comprehensive study of the orbital dynamics and rotational motion of Moon and Earth by means of lunar laser ranging (LLR) with the precision of one millimeter. ...
Patterns of Public-Sector and Private-Sector Patenting in Agricultural Biotechnology
(AgBioForum, 2005)
. Universities have increased patenting in agricultural biotechnology particularly rapidly, and they now hold a greater proportion of agricultural biotechnology patents than they do of patents in general. Private firms tend to dominate patenting in plant...
Using the monthly classification of global SSTs and 500 HPA height to predict temperature and precipitation regimes one to two season in advance for the Mid-Mississippi Region
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
the forecasts against climatology. The results show that these forecasts have been better than climatology, in general, especially in the summer season and for seasonal temperature forecasts. The research results used here have demonstrated that Pacific region...
A Nonlinear IV Likelihood-Based Rank Test for Multivariate Time Series and Long Panels
(Berkeley Electronic Press, 2010)
-sectional correlation of the disturbances. The nonlinear IV rank test also extends earlier research on nonlinear IV unit root tests. However, the optimal instrument in the univariate case is not admissible in the more general multivariate case. The chi-squared result...
The Hidden Treasures of Rome : Tracing the Context of Isolated Artifacts
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2015)
Interannual Variability of Snowfall Events Southwest Missouri and Snowfall to- Liquid Water Equivalents at the Springfield WFO
(National Weather Association, 2005-12)
In order to address the difficult issue of forecasting snowfall amounts for the general
public, forecasters must be intimately familiar with the climatological behavior of snowfall events, and associated snowfall-to-liquid ...
Gravitational bending of light by planetary multipoles and its measurement with microarcsecond astronomical interferometers
(arXiv, 2007)
General relativistic deflection of light by mass, dipole, and quadrupole moments of gravitational field of a moving massive planet in the Solar system is derived in the approximation of the linearized Einstein equations. All terms of order 1...
Consumers and GM Food Labels : Providing Information or Sowing Confusion?
(AgBioForum, 2000)
Labeling policies for genetically modified (GM) foods are under intense scrutiny and development worldwide. The fact that Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex) -- the international body primarily responsible for food ...
The Judgement of Paris : An Excerpt on a Roman Relief Mirror
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1992)
"Gilded bronze reliefs are characteristic of a group of Roman mirrors of otherwise simple design. Most of the mirrors are small, 9-12 cm in diameter; all have an unadorned, round, reflecting surface of polished high-tin ...
Regulation of rbST in the US
(AgBioForum, 2000)
In the United States (US) and European Union (EU) the regulatory and commercialization process for recombinant bovine somatotropin (rbST) had widely differing outcomes. Although the regulatory process in both locations was ...
Seven Ancient Egyptian Figured Ostraca and a Decorated Sherd : The Wilber Collection in the Museum of Art and Archaeology, University of Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2015)
Perceived Consequences of Herbicide-Tolerant and Insect-Resistant Crops on Integrated Pest Management Strategies in the Western United States : Results of an Online Survey
(AgBioForum, 2009)
We conducted an online survey to assess the potential effects of herbicide-tolerant (HT) and insect-resistant (IR) crops on integrated pest management (IPM) practices in the Western United States For HT crops, participants ...
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 aid programs...
A Laconian Lady in Missouri
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1995)
. Artifacts dating from at least the eighth century B.C., from the goddess Artemis Orthia's sanctuary in Sparta, attest to a city rich in culture with interests other than warfare. This scenario is illuminated by a fragmentary, bronze vessel handle that has a...
Use of financial planners and portfolio performance
(2016)
Using modern information economics as the conceptual framework and data from the 2013 Survey of Consumer Finances, this study adopts a decomposition technique to explore the relationship between the primary information ...

The Interannual variability of hurricane activity in the Atlantic and east pacific regions
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
(warm phase), rather than when the PDO was in phase 2 (cool phase). This study also examined the interannual variation in hurricane intensity by genesis region (i.e. Atlantic: the eastern and western Atlantic Ocean Basins, the Caribbean, and the Gulf...
