The Art of music, apple pie, and coping
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Every human has negative energy that needs to be channeled to some place and the reality is, we thrive on emotion and must maintain a healthy equilibrium in order to function. Whether it is turning to external remedies or ...
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 ...
Spin gaps and spin-flip energies in density-functional theory
(American Physical Society, 2010)
Energy gaps are crucial aspects of the electronic structure of finite and extended systems. Whereas much is known about how to define and calculate charge gaps in density-functional theory (DFT), and about the relation ...
Antiadiabatic limit of the exchange-correlation kernels of an inhomogeneous electron gas
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We express the high-frequency (antiadiabatic) limit of the exchange-correlation (xc) kernels of an inhomogeneous electron gas in terms of the following equilibrium properties: the ground-state density, the xc kinetic stress ...
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 ...
Spin Drag in an Ultracold Fermi Gas on the Verge of Ferromagnetic Instability
(American Physical Society, 2010)
Recent experiments [Jo et al., Science 325, 1521 (2009)] have presented evidence of ferromagnetic correlations in a two- component ultracold Fermi gas with strong repulsive interactions. Motivated by these experiments we ...
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) ...
Soils : to be or not to be ... on campus
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Soil erosion causes harm on and off-site. On-site impacts are confined to the local area where as the damages caused by off-site impacts are felt by society at large. The most harmful on-site impact is the actual loss of ...
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 ...

(Routledge, 2010)
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.
The Price paid for building anew
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Currently, the University of Missouri-Columbia has seven construction projects being worked on throughout campus according to the campus facilities department. With the increasingly important goal of providing a top-notch ...
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 ...
How should we monitor men receiving testosterone replacement therapy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Monitor hematocrit and bone mineral density (BMD) (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, meta-analysis of non−patient-oriented outcomes). Monitoring prostate-specific antigen (PSA), performing prostate digital rectal ...
Depression in pregnancy
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of depression during pregnancy.
Coregulation of Ion Channel Conductances Preserves Output in a Computational Model of a Crustacean Cardiac Motor Neuron
(Society for Neuroscience, 2010)
Similar activity patterns at both neuron and network levels can arise from different combinations of membrane and synaptic conductance values. A strategy by which neurons may preserve their electrical output is via cell ...
The commercial application of GMO crops in Africa : Burkina Faso's decade of experience with Bt cotton
(AgBioForum, 2010)
Burkina Faso has emerged as one of the more progressive and proactive sub-Saharan African countries regarding biotechnology. In 2009, slightly more than 125,000 ha of second-generation insect-protected biotech cotton ...
Colicky baby? Here's a surprising remedy
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2011)
This article suggests that parents of colicky breastfed infants try probiotics (Lactobacillus reuteri), which can significantly reduce daily crying time with no adverse effects. Stength of recommendation: A: A good-quality ...
Does office spirometry improve quit rates in smokers?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Simply performing spirometry and offering cessation advice doesn't improve quit rates in patients who smoke (strength of recommendation [SOR]: A, systematic review of randomized controlled trials [RCTs]). However, when the ...
Ownership Structure and Incentives to Invest: Dual-structured Irrigation Cooperatives in Australia
(Journal of Institutional Economics, 2010)
In the past decade, Australia has begun to privatize its irrigation system. Two general models have emerged: a single and a dual ownership structure. This paper examines the trade-offs, costs and benefits, and the attendant ...
