Feels like home
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2006)
In this special section, rediscover Columbia - aka Collegetown USA. Remember how it once was, check out Homecoming details, and get the latest on Tiger football.
A team player
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2004)
After nearly four decades of service at MU, Chancellor Richard L. Wallace graduates to yet another role where he's needed most.
From the vault
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2004)
From a notorious prankster to a pulp writer, these authors of the past got their start at MU.
Effect of a single AGE modification on the structure and chaperone activity of human alphaB-Crystallin
(American Chemical Society, 2007)
During aging, human lens proteins undergo several post-translational modifications, one of which is glycation. This process leads to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) which accumulate with time possibly ...
Comparative study of normal and branched alkane monolayer films adsorbed on a solid surface. I. Structure
(American Institute of Physics, 2007)
The structure of a monolayer film of the branched alkane squalane (C30H62) adsorbed on graphite has been studied by neutron diffraction and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and compared with a similar study of the ...
Electromagnetic waves in a rotating frame of reference
(arXiv, 2003)
We discuss the electromagnetic measurements of rotating observers and study the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a uniformly rotating frame of reference. The phenomenon of helicity-rotation coupling is elucidated ...
Faces of Missouri Showme
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2008)
Staffers of Showme Missouri, Mizzou's legendary student-run humor magazine, tell it like it was.
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. ...
Massive-Star Supernovae as Major Dust Factories
(arXiv, 2006)
We present late-time optical and mid-infrared observations of the Type-II supernova 2003gd in NGC 628. Mid-infrared excesses consistent with cooling dust in the ejecta are observed 499-678 days after outburst, and are ...
A Fifteenth-Century French Illuminated Calendar Leaf
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2005)
"Books of hours -- prayer books often decorated with intricate and jewel-like paintings -- were the most popular books of the Middle Ages. Today, hundreds of complete books of hours still survive in museums, libraries, and ...
Money for Nothing? The Impact of Changes in the Pell Grant Program on Institutional Revenues and the Placement of Needy Students
(American Education Finance Association, 2007)
Using new institutional-level data, we assess the impact of changing federal aid levels on institutional-level Pell revenues. Using various policy instruments associated with Pell generosity, we quantify the sensitivity ...
The Protein Storage Vacuole: A Unique Compound Organelle
(The Journal of Cell Biology, 2001)
Storage proteins are deposited into protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) during plant seed development and maturation and stably accumulate to high levels; subsequently, during germination the storage proteins are rapidly ...
Determining the Spring to Summer Transition in the Missouri Ozarks Using Synoptic Scale Atmospheric Data
(Missouri Academy of Science, 2002-12)
There is abundant anecdotal evidence available to suggest that the transition from a spring to summer season flow regime is often quite abrupt. This same transition renders longrange forecasting problematic as the forecast ...
Evolution of Capacity for Institutionalized Management of Intellectual Property at International Agricultural Research Centers : A Strategic Case Study
(AgBioForum, 2005)
Intellectual property rights long remained a matter dealt with in vague terms of general policy at international agricultural research centers (IARCs). This situation changed at the turn of the century, when intellectual ...
The Origins Billions Star Survey: Galactic Explorer
(The Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2006)
The Origins Billions Star Survey is a mission concept addressing the astrophysics of extrasolar planets, Galactic structure, the Galactic halo and tidal streams, the Local Group and local supercluster of galaxies, dark ...
Astrodynamical Space Test of Relativity using Optical Devices I (ASTROD I) - A class-M fundamental physics mission proposal for Cosmic Vision 2015-2025
(arXiv, 2008)
ASTROD I is a planned interplanetary space mission with multiple goals. The primary aims are: to test General Relativity with an improvement in sensitivity of over 3 orders of magnitude, improving our understanding of ...
