An essential role in germline development for a P-granule associated novel protein in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and RNAi in the ubiquitous parasitic nematode Ascaris suum
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The germline RNA helicases (GLHs) are constitutive components of P granules and important for fertility in C. elegans. Discovered as a GLH-1 partner, the P-granule associated novel protein (PAN-1) is important both in ...
Two brief treatments based on dialectical behavior therapy for binge eating across diagnoses and thresholds : results from a preliminary randomized dismantling study
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
How can disordered eating be effectively treated? The answer is not yet clear. Although cognitive behavioral therap (CBT) is generally considered the treatment of choice, disordered eating has been show to persist and ...
Agroforestry and grass buffers for improving soil hydraulic properties and reducing runoff and sediment losses from grazed pastures
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
Agroforestry buffers, a system of land use in which harvestable trees or shrubs are grown among or around crops or on pastureland, have been proposed for improving water quality in watersheds. The objectives of this study ...
Conducting a pedagogy : the influence of Maria Irene Fornes's teaching and the Padua Hills Playwright Workshop and Festival on three contemporary women playwrights
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
In some circles, Maria Irene Fornes is as hallowed for her playwriting pedagogy as she is for her plays. Over the years, she developed a series of exercises and a method of presentation to guide students in what she described ...
CFTR gating mechanism : the role of dimerization of nucleotide binding domains
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The chloride channel, cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has two membrane spanning domains (MSD), forming the channel pore, and two nucleotide binding domains (NBD), controlling the channel gating ...
The Hypothesis of Locality and its Limitations
(arXiv, 2003)
The hypothesis of locality, its origin and consequences are discussed. This supposition is necessary for establishing the local spacetime frame of accelerated observers; in this connection, the measurement of length in a ...
On the gravitomagnetic clock effect
(arXiv, 2001)
General relativity predicts that two freely counter-revolving test particles in the exterior field of a central rotating mass take different periods of time to complete the same full orbit; this time difference leads to ...
Prevent Crime: Early Childhood Education as a Crime Prevention Tool
(University of Missouri-Columbia Center for Family Policy and Research, 2010)
Since the mid 1990s, the general revenue funds appropriated for the Department of Corrections has more than tripled, from about $217 million (1994) to about $670 million in 2009. The ripple effects of crime are far reaching: ...
The Missouri Quality Rating System (QRS) School Readiness Study Results
(University of Missouri-Columbia Center for Family Policy and Research, 2009-10)
New findings from the Missouri Quality Rating System School Readiness Study indicate that some aspects of children's school readiness are hurt by low quality early childhood programs. Children in poverty are particularly ...
Addendum: On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation [J. Math. Phys. 37, 3997-4016 (1996)]
(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
Addendum: On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation [J. Math. Phys. 37, 3997-4016 (1996)]
Mashhoon replies
(American Physical Society, 1992)
B. Mashhoon discusses comments made by J. Anandan on the results on the coupling of intrinsic spin to the angular velocity in a neutron interferometry.(AIP)
Power-Rate-Distortion Analysis for Wireless Video Communication under Energy Constraints
(IEEE, 2004)
Mobile devices performing video coding and streaming over wireless and pervasive communication networks are limited in energy supply. To prolong the operational lifetime
of these devices, an embedded video encoding system ...
Orbital ordering and exchange interaction in the manganites
(American Physical Society, 2001)
The microscopic origin of the exchange interaction in manganites is studied by solving an electronic model Hamiltonian for the Mn-O-Mn triad. It is shown that the magnetic structure of La1-xCaxMnO3 is correctly described ...
Wannier-like functions and tight-binding parametrization for the manganese bands in CaMnO3
(Institute of Physics, 2003)
We study the electronic band structure of CaMnO3, in order to understand the origin of the dispersion of the Mn(eg) bands, which is in contrast with the predicted dispersionless bands within the Anderson-Hasegawa double-exchange ...
Noise : the invisible hazard (1997)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1997)
Farm workers experience one of the highest rates of hearing loss among all occupations. This is due in part to the many potential sources of loud noise on the farm: tractors, combines, grinders, choppers, shotguns, conveyors, ...
Lagoon pumping and irrigating equipment (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Lagoons are an important part of many Missouri livestock waste management systems. In addition to providing relatively low-cost storage for wastes, lagoons biologically degrade and liquefy manure for pumping and distribution ...
Electrical Safety for Center Pivot Irrigation Systems (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Many irrigators have received minor tingles while working around electrical irrigation machinery. Under pressure to keep the system running, they tend to ignore warning signs until serious injury occurs. Two electrical ...
Spray mix calculations (1997)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1997)
Liquid pesticide sprayers must apply the proper amount of a carefully mixed spray solution to be effective in controlling weed and insect pests. This publication describes procedures for determining how much pesticide to ...
MicroRNA mir-146a expression in oral cancer tissues [abstract]
(2010)
Recent advances in basic research have shown that the expression and function of microRNAs impact on gene expression regulation networks extensively. Ever increasing new knowledge from microRNA studies should be translated ...
Orthopaedic trauma and an aging population : a retrospective review of factors influencing outcomes [abstract]
(2010)
Orthopaedic trauma outcomes are largely dependent upon mechanism of injury. However, elderly patients often sustain lower energy trauma, but have worse outcomes. Studies have shown that elderly patients are more likely to ...
