Across Content and Pedagogy: Seeking Coherence in NOS Instruction in Teacher Education Programs
(2010-10)
While reforms emphasize understanding the nature of science (NOS), a challenge
in meeting the vision of the reforms is that teachers lack understandings consistent with
contemporary views of NOS. Though teacher educators ...
Flowering and Fruit Characteristics of Black Walnuts: A Tool for Identifying and Selecting Cultivars (2008)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 2008)
Black walnuts (Juglans nigra L.) are valued for their uniquely fruity flavor and are often used as an ingredient in baked goods and ice cream or are eaten as a snack food. Although black walnuts can be harvested from wild ...
Depression in the elderly: diagnostics
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2000)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of depression in the elderly.
Dysmenorrhea: diagnostics
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of dysmenorrhea.
Microscopic colitis
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of microscopic colitis.
X-ray-diffraction and scanning-tunneling-microscopy studies of a liquid-crystal film adsorbed on single-crystal graphite
(American Physical Society, 1993)
Synchrotron x-ray-diffraction and scanning-tunneling-microscopy (STM) experiments reveal a new commensurate monolayer structure of 10CB (decylcyanobiphenyl) molecules adsorbed on the (0001) graphite surface. Our results ...
A Workshop Approach: Instructional Strategies for Working Within the Constraints of Field Experiences in Elementary Science
(2003-02)
This paper describes an existing early field experience program and discusses strategies implemented by the instructor working within the constraints of the program design. The workshop approach presented provides a structure ...
Efficient Statistical Mapping of Avian Count Data
(Environmental and Ecological Statistics, 2005)
We develop a spatial modeling framework for count data that is efficient to implement in high-dimensional prediction problems. We consider spectral parameterizations for the spatially varying mean of the Poisson model. The ...
Anomalous Silicate Dust Emission in the Type 1 Liner Nucleus of M81
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)
We report the detection and successful modeling of the unusual 9.7μm Si-O stretching silicate emission feature in the type 1 (i.e., face-on) LINER nucleus of M81. Using the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) instrument on Spitzer, ...
Probing Extragalactic Dust through Nearby Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows
(Institute of Physics, 2010)
The quantities and wavelength dependencies of the dust extinction along the lines of sight toward 33 nearby gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with redshifts z < 2 are derived from fitting their afterglow spectral energy distributions. ...
Influence of subunit structure on the oligomerization state of light harvesting complexes: a free energy calculation study
(arXiv, 2005)
Light harvesting complexes 2 (LH2) from Rhodospirillum (Rs.) molischianum and Rhodopseudomonas (Rps.) acidophila form ring complexes out of eight or nine identical subunits, respectively. Here, we investigate computationally ...
Predicting the Spatial Distribution of Ground Flora on Large Domains Using a Hierarchical Bayesian Model
(Landscape Ecology, 2003)
Accomodation of important sources of uncertainty in ecological models is essential to realistically predicting ecological processes. The purpose of this project is to develop a robust methodology for modeling natural ...
On Magnesium Sulfide as the Carrier of the 30 μm Emission Feature in Evolved Stars
(Institute of Physics, 2009)
A large number of carbon-rich evolved objects (asymptotic giant branch stars, protoplanetary nebulae, and planetary nebulae) in both the Milky Way galaxy and the Magellanic Clouds exhibit an enigmatic broad emission feature ...
Probing Cosmic Dust of the Early Universe through High-Redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts
(Institute of Physics, 2008)
We explore the extinction properties of the dust in the distant universe through the afterglows of high-redshifted gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) based on the "Drude" model which, unlike previous studies, does not require a prior ...
Complex Organic Materials in the HR 4796A Disk?
(Institute of Physics, 2008)
The red spectral shape of the visible to near-infrared reflectance spectrum of the sharply edged ringlike disk around the young main-sequence star HR 4796A was recently interpreted as the presence of tholin-like complex ...
Does DTC advertising affect physician prescribing habits?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) is associated with both higher fidelity to minimum treatment recommendations for depression and higher prescribing levels of antidepressants for depression and adjustment disorder ...
Carbon stars and silicon carbide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Stars between about 0.8 and 8 times the mass of the Sun will eventually evolve become asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, where they pulsate and throw off mass from their atmospheres, forming dust shells in the space ...
Characterization of pericyte invasive responses and pericyte-induced vascular morphogenesis in 3D matrices : distinctions with vascular smooth muscle cells [abstract]
(2010)
During vascular morphogenic events, mural cells are recruited to developing endothelial tubes to aid in stabilization and maturation of the new vessels. There are two known types of mural cells, pericytes and vascular ...
Development of high throughput tissue analysis laboratory [abstract]
(2010)
Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) is a promising binary radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In order for this therapy to succeed, non-toxic compounds carrying boron-10 must be successfully ...
Caring for diverse populations : further steps towards increasing cultural humility in the UMHS primary catchment area [abstract]
(2010)
Cultural humility has long been identified as key to effectively working in diverse populations. Recent studies have demonstrated the importance of cultural humility in health care provider education. Over the past several ...
