Epic Splitting: An Arab Folk Gloss on the Meaning of the Hero Pattern
(1989-01)
"Epic narrative typically spells out departures and arrivals very clearly (see Bowra 1952:179 ff). The Arabic migration epic Sīrat Banī Hilāl, in its many different cultural transformations and retellings, has a structure based on geographic...
Relativity and Nonlocality
(arXiv, 2000)
The basic physical structure of the relativistic theory of gravitation is discussed. The significant role that the Hypothesis of Locality plays in relativity theory is elucidated via the phenomenon of spin-rotation coupling. ...
Barbara Allen and the English Ballad in Appalachia: Adaptations and Transformations
(1982)
The purpose of this study is to examine the eighteenth-century English Child ballads and "Barbara Allen" which survived in the Appalachian region of the United States.
Explicit Fermi coordinates and tidal dynamics in de Sitter and Gödel spacetimes
(American Physical Society, 2006)
Fermi coordinates are directly constructed in de Sitter and Gödel spacetimes and the corresponding exact coordinate transformations are given explicitly. The quasi-inertial Fermi coordinates are then employed to discuss ...
The Calibration of Mid-Infrared Star Formation Rate Indicators
(American Astronomical Society, 2007)
populations, in addition to the ionizing ones, in agreement with previous findings. Two SFR calibrations, one using the 24 m emission and the other using a combination of the 24 m and H luminosities(Kennicutt and coworkers), are presented. No calibration...
A Votive Figurine from Early Crete
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1991)
"The history of Greece in the Dark Age is considerably easier to explore on Crete than on the mainland. In contrast with the mysterious turmoil of the Peloponnesos, archaeological evidence reveals a relatively strong ...
Adoption of Best Management Practices to Control Weed Resistance by Corn, Cotton, and Soybean Growers
(AgBioForum, 2009)
This study examined adoption of 10 best management practices (BMPs) to control weed resistance to herbicides using data from a survey of more than 1,000 US corn, cotton, and soybean growers. Count-data models were estimated ...
The History of the Trumpet in the Orchestra
(1985)
An examination
will be made of the types of trumpets that have been
used in orchestras. An attempt will be made to follow the
trumpet from its natural to its chromatic-valved state and
to show how both the composer and ...
Interaction between agricultural extension services and environmental management accounting : the role of farmer value orientations
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2021)
The present study aimed to examine the value orientations of farmers in Malaysia and the role that these orientations play in facilitating increased environmental management accounting under the presence of efficient and ...
Ciachronic Homer and a Cretan Odyssey
(2017-03)
A Boar Hunt by the Curtius Painter
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 1982)
Gravimagnetism, Causality, and Aberration of Gravity in the Gravitational Light-Ray Deflection Experiments
(arXiv, 2007)
Experimental verification of the existence of gravimagnetic fields generated by currents of matter is important for a complete understanding and formulation of gravitational physics. Although the rotational (intrinsic) ...
Medallions, Protocontorniates, and Contorniates in the Museum of Art and Archaeology
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2012)
"The Museum of Art and Archaeology at the University of Missouri possesses in its collection a total of thirty-nine Roman medallions, protocontorniates, and contorniates. One is an imperial coin inserted into a medallic ...
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 Nomic Role Account of Carving Reality at the Joints
(Springer Verlag, 1998)
Natural properties are those that carve reality at the joints. The notion of carving reality at the joints, however, is somewhat obscure. It is sometimes understood in terms of making for similarity, sometimes in terms of ...
Nonlocal electrodynamics of linearly accelerated systems
(American Physical Society, 2004)
The measurement of an electromagnetic radiation field by a linearly accelerated observer is discussed. The nonlocality of this process is emphasized. The nonlocal theory of accelerated observers is briefly described and ...
The role of agricultural financing and development on sustainability : evidence from ASEAN clountries
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2021)
The introduction of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides a blueprint for sustainable growth which has received widespread attention from policymakers, industry players and academics globally. The objective of this ...
