Advancing family science through public scholarship: fostering community relationships and engaging in broader impacts
(2021)
Objective: To increase the awareness and support for family scientists' engagement in public scholarship. Background: Without appropriate dissemination efforts, important research findings may remain solely in academic ...
Intonation Factors of the Flute, Clarinet, and Saxophone
(1979)
The purpose of this study is to investigate intonation factors of the flute, clarinet, and saxophone. Suggested physical adjustments by the performer as well as mechanical adjustments to the instruments themselves will be ...
Pennsylvania German Organ Builders: "Look for Further for German Organs"
(1992)
Of all the aspects of the studies of Pennsylvania
German culture, perhaps the most neglected were the organ
builders and the instruments they produced between 1725 and
1850. No comprehensive history of the subject has ...
Progress in Measurements of the Gravitational Bending of Radio Waves Using the VLBA
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
We have used the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 43, 23, and 15 GHz to measure the solar gravitational deflection of radio waves among four radio sources during an 18 day period in 2005 October. Using phase- referenced ...
Maxwell's equations in Minkowski's world: their premetric generalization and the electromagnetic energy-momentum tensor
(Wiley-VCH, 2008)
In December 1907, Minkowski expressed the Maxwell equations in the very beautiful and compact 4-dimensional form: lor f = −s, lor F∗ = 0. Here 'lor', an abbreviation of Lorentz, represents the 4-dimensional differential ...
Consumer willingness to pay for genetically modified vegetable oil and salmon in the United States and Norway
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2017)
Consumer resistance against GM crops is still substantial in the United States and Europe. We conducted an internet survey in the United States and Norway with more than 1,000 respondents in each country to estimate ...
A definition of bioeconomy through the bibliometric networks of the scientific literature
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2018)
The purposes of this paper are to present the different bioeconomy strategies within European Union (the national member states' published bioeconomy strategies are presented), the United States, and China, to construct ...
Reliefs of Visions or Displays of Transmundane Realms in Gandha?ran Buddhist Art : Significance of a Panel relief with S?a?kyamuni
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2010)
"While more than a century and a half has passed since works from ancient Gandha?ra and related areas captured the attention of Western researchers and while many questions remain unanswered with controversies unresolved, ...
Spatio-Temporal Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling: Tropical Ocean Surface Winds
(American Statistical Association, 2001)
Spatio-temporal processes are ubiquitous in the environmental and physical sciences. This is certainly true of atmospheric and oceanic processes, which typically exhibit many different scales of spatial and temporal ...
Medium Grains, High Stakes : Economics of Genetically Modified Rice in California
(AgBioForum, 2003)
This paper gives estimates of the potential profitability of herbicide-tolerant (HT) rice cultivation in the Sacramento Valley region of California. We estimate first-year returns for the average producer and use both ...
Intellectual Property Rights on Research Tools : Incentives or Barriers to Innovation? Case Studies of Rice Genomics and Plant Transformation Technologies
(AgBioForum, 2005)
This paper examines the role of patents in the development and use of two platform technologies for plant biotechnology -- plant transformation techniques and structural genomics. We find that patents were important in ...
The Distribution of Benefits from Bt Cotton Adoption in South Africa
(AgBioForum, 2004)
Technology adoption can create income benefits for large and small-scale producers, input suppliers and consumers in developing countries. The circumstances under which this income creation can take place are shown to ...
Harvesting triplet excitons for application in polymer solar cells
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Triplet enhanced ladder-type poly (para-phenylene) polymer (PhLPPP) with covalently bound trace amounts of palladium blended with a fullerene derivative [[6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)] shows power ...
Analysis of the Prevalence of CDC Triffid Transgenic Flax in Canadian Grain Stocks
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2014)
CDC Triffid transgenic flax was deregistered in 2001 due to concerns about the effect of its production on offshore markets. A decade after removal of CDC Triffid from the commercial system in Canada, it was detected in ...
