Does lowering a fever >101F in children improve clinical outcomes?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Treating fever significantly increases comfort, activity, feeding, and fluid intake and decreases the patient's temperature compared with placebo (strength of recommendation (SOR): A, multiple randomized controlled trials ...
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 ...
Treasure found in a trash heap : composting at Mizzou
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A pile of apple cores, melon seeds, half eaten bread, corn kernels, and broccoli wait on a curb in black trash bags. But this food waste has a different destination than similar trash bags. Instead of being transported to ...
Energy from unlikely sources : MU Power Plant's road to sustainability
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The University of Missouri Power Plant has been the source of steam and electricity for the University of Missouri campus for over 85 years. Established in 1923, the plant began with only four coal burning boilers and two ...
PT or cervical collar for cervical radiculopathy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
To shorten recovery time for adults with acute cervical radiculopathy, recommend either physical therapy (PT) and a home exercise plan or a cervical collar and rest. Both are more effective than a wait-and-see strategy. ...
How should you manage children born to hepatitis C-positive women?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
for starters, don't be overly concerned with the mode of delivery; it doesn't influence the rate of transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV), except in women who are also infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ...

This article offers a review of Collins, S. G. (2009). Library of Walls: The Library of Congress and the Contradictions of Information Society. Duluth, MN: Litwin Books.
Not yet finished
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In Jane Yolen's Favorite Folktales From Around The World, a Sioux Indian tale entitled "The End of The World" attempts to catalogue Sioux culture before, during, and after European colonization. In addition, the tale ...
Editor's Introduction : First year writing special issue
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
First-Year Composition at the University of Missouri--English 1000-- is characterized above all by its diversity. While broad guidelines and goals underwrite what a phalanx of instructors implement in nearly 200 sections ...
HVAC optimization study
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) can be a very costly effort when applied in industry. So was thought to be the case at the DRS Technologies facility in West Plains, Missouri. Therefore, the Pollution ...
Many-Body Orbital Paramagnetism in Doped Graphene Sheets
(American Physical Society, 2010)
The orbital magnetic susceptibility of a gas of noninteracting massless Dirac fermions is zero when the Fermi energy is away from the Dirac point. Making use of diagrammatic perturbation theory, we calculate exactly the ...
AC susceptibility of the quantum critical point mimicking series Lix[Mn1.96Li0.04]O4 (x = 0.0,0.1,0.2,0.35,0.5,0.6,0.8,1.0)
(American Institute of Physics, 2010)
The present work elucidates the series of magnetic phase transitions present in the series of spinel compounds Lix Mn1.96Li0.04 O4 x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.35, 0.5, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 . These systems display dynamical scaling originating ...
Does spinal manipulation relieve back pain?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) reduces lower back pain and improves the ability to perform everyday activities more than sham therapies (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, multiple randomized controlled trials [RCTs] ...
A-fib and rate control: Don't go too low
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Aim for a heart rate of <110 beats per minute (bpm) in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation. Maintaining this rate requires less medication than more stringent rate control, resulting in fewer side effects and no ...
Nonlocal modification of Newtonian gravity
(American Physical Society, 2010)
The Newtonian regime of a recent nonlocal extension of general relativity is investigated. Nonlocality is introduced via a scalar “constitutive” kernel in a special case of the translational gauge theory of gravitation, ...
The Economics of Microalgae Oil
(AgBioForum, 2010)
A Monte Carlo simulation model for a commercial-scale microalgae farm in the US desert Southwest was developed and used to compare costs of producing algal oil with two levels of technology. Ranges of input and output ...
The Effect of Biofuels on Crude Oil Markets
(AgBioForum, 2010)
To quantify the effect of biofuel on global oil markets, we extend the optimal export tax model to the global fuel market (henceforth, denoted as the Cartel-of-Nations model), recognizing that crude oil extraction and ...
Overview of Special Issue from the 2009 ICABR Conference
(AgBioForum, 2010)
The theme of the 13th International Consortium on Agricultural Biotechnology Research (ICABR) conference was 'The Emerging Bioeconomy.' Within this theme there were four sub-themes that contained the vast majority of ...
Gravitomagnetic Accelerators
(arXiv, 2010)
We study a simple class of time-dependent rotating Ricci-flat cylindrically symmetric spacetime manifolds whose geodesics admit gravitomagnetic jets. The helical paths of free test particles in these jets up and down ...
How should you treat a child with flat feet?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Flexible flatfoot (FFF)doesn�۪t increase the risk of injury or pain during exercise (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, 2 small prospective cohort studies). Treating FFF with orthotics doesn�۪t change the course of arch ...
