Pricing and Welfare Impacts of New Crop Traits : The Role of IPRs and Coase's Conjecture Revisited
(AgBioForum, 2008)
Crop traits are durable when embedded in varieties, and thus they may be subject to Coase's conjecture that monopolists who sell durables may be unable to earn normal monopoly rents, or in the extreme case, not any rents ...
Ageostrophic Forcing in a Height Tendency Equation
(American Meteorological Society, 2002-01)
The role of the ageostrophic vorticity tendencies in the Zwack-Okossi vorticity tendency equation has been examined within the context that this term in the equation acts as a correction term for the vorticity tendency or ...
Numerical Methods for the Simulation of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)
We describe computational tools that have been developed to simulate dynamical mass transfer in semidetached, polytropic binaries that are initially executing synchronous rotation upon circular orbits.
Initial equilibrium ...
The Evolution of Pedal Tone Systems for Trumpet and Their Relationship to the Increased Trumpet Range in Big Bands From 1940 to 1970
(1976-07)
The music of the twentieth century has placed tremendous
physical and technical demands upon the musician. The trumpet, in particular, has been exploited
to its ultimate just in the past twenty-five years; so much so
that ...
Investigation of the presence of charge order in magnetite by measurement of the spin wave spectrum
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Inelastic neutron scattering results on magnetite (Fe3O4) show a large splitting in the acoustic spin wave branch, producing a 7 meV gap midway to the Brillouin zone boundary at q=(0,0,1∕2) and ℏω=43 meV. The splitting ...
Gravitational ionization: periodic orbits of binary systems perturbed by gravitational radiation.
(arXiv, 1995)
The long term perturbation of a Newtonian binary system by an incident gravitational wave is discussed in connection with the issue of gravitational ionization. The periodic orbits of the planar tidal equation are investigated ...
Regulation and the Evolution of Corporate Boards: Monitoring, Advising or Window Dressing?
(Journal of Law and Economics, 2004-04)
It is generally agreed that boards are endogenously determined institutions that serve both oversight and advisory roles in a firm. While the oversight role of boards has been extensively studied, relatively few studies ...
The Development of the Chinese Accordion and Implementation into Normal Universities
(1996)
Researchers have not investigated the interrelationship between accordion
development and accordion education in the People's Republic of China, Accordion
development and accordion education cannot exist independently, ...
A Study of the Serpent, Bass Horn, Keyed Bugle, Ophicleide, and Saxhorns with Emphasis on the Literature Written for These Instruments
(1986)
This paper covers the history of early low brass instruments and precursors to the tuba, their ranges, technicalities, and literatures. All of the instruments discussed here, with the exception of the
saxhorns and variations ...
The potential economic impacts of herbicide-tolerant maize in developing countries : a case study
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2015)
In this study, we evaluate the potential economic impact of herbicide-tolerant (HT) maize in Kenya. HT maize is essentially a new weed-control approach. The potential agronomic changes from the use of HT maize are ...
Individuals responsible for video games: an exploration of cataloging practice, user need, and authorship theory
(2022)
Purpose: Author information is one of the primary metadata elements for information access. While assigning "author(s)" has been relatively straightforward in library systems for textual resources, challenges have emerged ...
Oral features of the Qur’ān detected in public recitation
(2018-03)
"This essay examines some of the textual features of the Qur’ān that emerge more prominently
when listening to it, features that may enhance insight gained during slow or silent reading
sessions."--Page 141.
An Index to the Cantorial Collection of Cantor Jacob Rothblatt, 1902-1980
(1981)
The Rothblatt collection consists primarily of Jewish
liturgical music, that is, music commonly heard in Jewish
synagogue services as part of the year-round order of liturgy.
Having served as a cantor for over forty ...
Cell wall proteome in the maize primary root elongation zone. II. Region-specific changes in water soluble and lightly ionically bound proteins under water deficit
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2007)
Previous work on the adaptation of maize (Zea mays) primary roots to water deficit showed that cell elongation is maintained preferentially toward the apex, and that this response involves modification of cell wall extension ...
Nonlocal electrodynamics of rotating systems
(American Physical Society, 2005)
The nonlocal electrodynamics of uniformly rotating systems is presented and its predictions are discussed. In this case, due to paucity of adequate experimental data, the nonlocal theory cannot be directly confronted with ...
Solo Voice Technique and its Application to the Choral Ensemble
(1988-07-06)
The study of voice pedagogy has long been a subject divided by varying beliefs and methods. The teachers of voice pedagogy and the directors of choral music have not always been in agreement in their respective use and/or ...
Oral Verse-Making in Homer's Odyssey
(1989-10)
GmBZL3 acts as a major BR signaling regulator through crosstalk with multiple pathways in Glycine max
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: Brassinosteroids (BRs) play a crucial role in plant vegetative growth and reproductive development. The transcription factors BZR1 and BES1/BZR2 are well characterized as downstream regulators of the BR signaling ...
Demonstration of highly efficient dual gRNA CRISPR/Cas9 editing of the homeologous GmFAD2-1A and GmFAD2-1B genes to yield a high oleic, low linoleic and ?-linolenic acid phenotype in soybean
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2019)
Background: CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing is now revolutionizing the ability to effectively modify plant genomes in the absence of efficient homologous recombination mechanisms that exist in other organisms. However, soybean ...
