Green nanotechnology from cumin phytochemicals : generation of biocompatible gold nanoparticles
(NIH Public Access, 2009)
The powerful antioxidant characteristics of various phytochernicals within cumin prompted us to test their efficacy in reducing sodium tetrachloroaurate to corresponding gold nanoparticles. We, herein, report an unprecedented ...
What is the evaluation and treatment strategy for Raynaud's phenomenon?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2005)
Raynaud's phenomenon is diagnosed by history,
which also plays a key role in distinguishing
primary from secondary Raynaud's phenomenon
(strength of recommendation [SOR]: C, based
on expert opinion). The initial treatment ...
Using stochastic models calibrated from nanosecond nonequilibrium simulations to approximate mesoscale information
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
We demonstrate how the surrogate process approximation (SPA) method can be used to compute both the potential of mean force along a reaction coordinate and the associated diffusion coefficient using a relatively small number (10-20) of bidirectional...
Entrepreneurship and the Economic Theory of the Firm: Any Gains from Trade?
(University of Missouri-Columbia, 2004)
themes in the modern theory of the firm (existence, boundaries, and internal organization). In our approach, resource uses are not data, but are created as entrepreneurs envision new ways of using assets to produce final goods. The entrepreneur's problem...
GPU-Based Simulation of Cellular Neural Networks for Image Processing
(IEEE, 2009-06)
The inherent massive parallelism of cellular neural networks makes them an ideal computational platform for kernelbased
algorithms and image processing. General-purpose GPUs provide similar massive parallelism, but it can ...
Characterization of Corning EPMA Standard Glasses 95IRV, 95IRW, and 95IRX
(Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, 2002)
The preparation, synthesis, and characterization of Corning trace-element glasses 95IRV, 95IRW, and 95IRX by bulk
chemical and electron microprobe techniques is discussed. Working values for the doped elements in the ...
Farmer Trust in Producer- and Investor-owned Firms: Evidence from Missouri Corn and Soybean Producers
(Agribusiness: An International Journal, 2004-12)
We examine whether cooperatives are characterized by greater trust than investor-owned firms. We survey 2000 Missouri corn and soybean farmers and find that trust and farmer perceptions of honesty and competence are higher ...
Financing of Regional Biotechnology Regulations : Lessons from West Africa
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2013)
Biosafety Protocol, which provides an international framework for the regulation of transboundary movements of genetically modified organisms. West Africa provides considerable insight into the potential design risks associated with providing sustainable...
Stability of pulsar rotational and orbital periods
(arXiv, 2009)
Millisecond and binary pulsars are the most stable astronomical standards of frequency. They can be applied to solving a number of problems in astronomy and time-keeping metrology including the search for a stochastic ...
Numerical Methods for the Simulation of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries
(American Astronomical Society, 2002)
simulations of semidetached systems can be performed using presently available computing resources. We Ðnd that we should be able to resolve mass transfer at levels M0 /M[few]10~5 per orbit through approximately 20 orbits with each orbit taking about 30 hours...
Progress in Measurements of the Gravitational Bending of Radio Waves Using the VLBA
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
and evaluate the accuracy limits of terrestrial VLBI techniques; and to determine the prospects and outcomes of future experiments. Our conclusion is that a series of improved designed experiments with the VLBA could increase the presented accuracy by at least...
John Adams : In his element
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2009)
Students regularly give highest-level evaluations to chemistry Professor John Adams for his teaching, but few realize the extent of his dedication.
Acylation of the Lipooligosaccharide of Haemophilus influenzae and Colonization: an htrB Mutation Diminishes the Colonization of Human Airway Epithelial Cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2002)
Haemophilus influenzae is a commensal and opportunistic pathogen of the human airways. A number of surface molecules contribute to colonization of the airways by H. influenzae, such as adhesins, including structures found ...
Five awarded honorary degrees
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1962)
"Five graduates of the University received honorary degrees at the 120th annual Commencement exercises of the University in Memorial Stadium on June 5."--Page 8
Our role and scope : cover story
(University of Missouri. Alumni Association, 1990)
"The University of Missouri-Columbia is Missouri's premier public research institution--bolstering the state's economy, enhancing the citizenry's quality of life and offering superior undergraduate, graduate and professional education to high...
Inpatient Management of Bronchial Asthma for the Hospitalist -A Concise Review
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2019-10)
Asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the airways that leads to significant hospital utilization and health care cost around the world. Despite published guidelines, the diagnosis and treatment of acute asthma ...
Lowpass Filtering of Rate-Distortion Functions for Quality Smoothing in Real-Time Video Communication
(IEEE, 2005)
In variable-bit-rate (VBR) video coding, the video is pre-processed to collect sequence-level statistics, which are used
for global bit allocation in the actual encoding stage to obtain a smoothed video presentation ...
Semen Quality in Relation to Biomarkers of Pesticide Exposure
(Environmental Health Perspectives, 2003-09)
We previously reported reduced sperm concentration and motility in fertile men in a U.S. agrarian area (Columbia, MO) relative to men from U.S. urban centers (Minneapolis, MN; Los Angeles, CA; New York, NY). In the present study we address...
Impact factors in open access : the value, frustrations, and new paths forward
(2023)
The age-old metric associated with traditional print academic journals— the journal impact factor (JIF)—has carried over into some electronic open access journals (OA). JIF receives a fair share of criticism (e.g., easy ...
