Rotating cylindrical systems and gravitomagnetism
(arXiv, 1998)
We discuss gravitomagnetism in connection with rotating cylindrical systems. In particular, the gravitomagnetic clock effect is investigated for the exterior vacuum field of an infinite rotating cylinder. The dependence ...
On detecting the gravitomagnetic field of the earth by means of orbiting clocks
(arXiv, 1998)
Based on the recent finding that the difference in proper time of two clocks in prograde and retrograde equatorial orbits about the Earth is of the order 10^{-7}s per revolution, the possibility of detecting the terrestrial ...
Cleaning field sprayers to avoid crop injury (1999)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1999)
Crop yield and quality depend on effective application of agricultural chemicals. Proper selection, use and maintenance of sprayers can save you money, improve the performance of the agrichemicals you use, and protect the ...
Calibrating Manure Spreaders (1994)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1994)
Land application is the primary means of using livestock wastes in Missouri. Properly spreading manure on cropland is an environmentally acceptable means of managing wastes and, at the same time, realizing a benefit from ...
Electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of bismuth telluride and bismuth selenide
(Institute of Physics, 1997)
The electronic structures of the two thermoelectric materials Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 are
studied using density-functional theory with the spin-orbit interaction included. The electron states in the gap region and the chemical ...
On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
The gravitational ionization of a Keplerian binary system via normally incident periodic gravitational radiation of definite helicity is discussed. The periodic orbits of the planar tidal equation are investigated on the ...
Chaos in the Kepler system
(American Institute of Physics, 1999)
The long-term dynamical evolution of a Keplerian binary orbit due to the emission and absorption of gravitational radiation is investigated. This work extends our previous results on transient chaos in the planar case to ...
Proper infrared heat lamp use for efficient livestock production (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Electric heat lamps provide a versatile, inexpensive heat source for today's livestock production farming practices. Heat rays from infrared lamps pass through the air without heating it, as does energy from the sun. When ...
Estimating residue : line transect method (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Missouri producers have chosen conservation tillage as part of their conservation compliance plans. Conservation tillage means leaving 30 percent or more of the ground surface covered with residue- measured immediately ...
Soil compaction : the silent thief (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Soil compaction is becoming a more serious problem for farmers. Field machines tend to be heaver, and there is motivation for farmers to work the soil when it is too moist. Because compacted soil has smaller pores and fewer ...
Response
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 1998)
Welshons et al. respond to Ashby and Odum regarding their experimental design research on fetal exposure to very low doses of the environmental estrogen bisphenol A.
Images of the sign : semiotic consciousness in the novels of Benito Perez Galdos
(University of Missouri Press, 1990)
The author has chosen to organize the discussion of Galdos's novels on the basis of paradigmatic considerations. The use of
paradigms, however, is not intended to reduce the complexity of the individual text to predetermined ...
Evolutionary dynamics while trapped in resonance: a Keplerian binary system perturbed by gravitational radiation
(American Institute of Physics, 1997)
The method of averaging is used to investigate the phenomenon of capture into resonance for a model that describes a Keplerian binary system influenced by radiation damping and external normally incident periodic gravitational ...
On Measuring Gravitomagnetism via Spaceborne Clocks: A Gravitomagnetic Clock Effect
(arXiv, 1998)
The difference in the proper azimuthal periods of revolution of two standard clocks in direct and retrograde orbits about a central rotating mass is proportional to J/Mc^2, where J and M are, respectively, the proper angular ...
Confined feeding facilities : site selection and management (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
Recently, lawsuits against owners of confined livestock and poultry feeding units have not been uncommon. In many cases, penalties have been assessed. Proper attention to site selection when the project was started could ...
Precision Agriculture: An Introduction (1998)
(University of Missouri Extension, 1998)
Precision agriculture merges the new technologies borne of the information age with a mature agricultural industry. It is an integrated crop management system that attempts to match the kind and amount of inputs with the ...
Buying a packaged farm building (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
More than half the farm buildings constructed in Missouri today are selected from the wide variety of 'pre-engineered' structures available from commercial manufacturers or large contracting firms. These buildings, commonly ...
Synchrotron x-ray-diffraction study of the structure and growth of Xe films adsorbed on the Ag(111) surface
(American Physical Society, 1999)
Synchrotron x-ray scattering has been used to investigate the structure and growth of perhaps the simplest of all films: xenon physisorbed on the Ag(111) surface. High-resolution x-ray scans of the in-plane structure and ...
Selecting wire fencing materials (1993)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1993)
There is an old adage that says 'good fences make good neighbors.' This is particularly true today in suburban areas of Missouri where a neighbor's cow or horse is seldom welcome in nearby lawns or gardens. The most ...
Economic analysis of coal log pipeline transportation of coal
(Capsule Pipeline Research Center, 1995)
This economic report is an update and a refinement of a 1993 study conducted by Liu, Zuniga and Richards that compared the cost of transporting coal from mines to power plants by coal log pipeline (CPL) with other modes ...
