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 ...
Perceptions of Middle School Music Teachers Regarding Selected Criteria
(1991)
Attitudes of middle school music teachers concerning selected topics were investigated. A survey was mailed to a sample of Missouri music teachers in middle schools with sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students. The ...

Magnetic excitations in the spinel compound Lix[Mn1.96Li0.04]O4 (x=0.2,0.6,0.8,1.0): How a classical system can mimic quantum critical scaling
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We present neutron-scattering results on the magnetic excitations in the spinel compounds Lix Mn1.96Li0.04 O4 x=0.2, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 . We show that the dominant excitations below T 70 K are determined by Mn ions located in ...
Continuum mechanics for quantum many-body systems: Linear response regime
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We derive a closed equation of motion for the current density of an inhomogeneous quantum many-body system under the assumption that the time-dependent wave function can be described as a geometric deformation of the ...
