David Kemper discussed the current state of the life sciences from community and business perspectives.
Reference frames, gauge transformations and gravitomagnetism in the post-Newtonian theory of the lunar motion
(Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2010)
We construct a set of reference frames for description of the orbital and rotational motion of the Moon. We use a scalar-tensor theory of gravity depending on two parameters of the parametrized post- Newtonian (PPN) formalism ...
Units of relativistic time scales and associated quantities
(arXiv, 2010)
This note suggests nomenclature for dealing with the units of various astronomical quantities that are used with the relativistic time scales TT, TDB, TCB and TCG. It is suggested to avoid wordings like "TDB units" and "TT ...
Commercialization of novel biomarkers of male fertility in humans and farm animals
(2010-03)
Each year, US infertility clinics treat 135,000 couples who fail to conceive naturally. Up to 40% of these infertility cases can be attributed to male infertility stemming from poor sperm quality. An additional 20% of ...
Organ printing: a novel tissue engineering paradigm
(2010)
Engineering new tissues, ideally from the patient's own body cells to prevent rejection by the immune system, is a rapidly growing field that rests on three pillars: cells, supporting structures (or scaffold) and stimulating ...
Research in motion
(2010-03)
Orthopaedic disorders of the major joints, specifically, osteoarthritis of the hip and knee joints have an enormous economic and functional impact on our society, affecting millions of patients every day. In the late 1960s ...

Do endovascular filters prevent PE as effectively as anticoagulants in patients with DVT?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
Although inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) reduced the incidence of PE in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), patients treated with IVCFs and anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin or low-molecular- weight heparin ...
Neuro-modulation techniques in humans
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
During the past two decades noninvasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation are being increasingly used for the diagnosis and treatment of ...
Missouri Botanical Garden: plants for a sustainable future

Rainer Bussmann discussed the Missouri Botanical Garden's research efforts in areas such as ethnobotany, natural products, seed and germination ecology, and natural resource management.
Interactive mapping: overlaying local and national data
(2010-03)
The Center for Applied Research and Environmental Systems (CARES) at the University of Missouri-Columbia has a long history of integrating Internet accessibility with emerging technologies to assist underserved, under-resourced, ...
One health: a guiding imperative
(2010)
Given the large proportion of households that include pets, this is perhaps a most important time to consider human-companion animal interaction as a vehicle to facilitate One Health (human-animal health). The potential ...
Small Business Support for Youth Physical Activity Opportunities
(2010-03)
Background: Increasing the number of youth physical activity opportunities (YPAO) (e.g., programs) may be a promising approach for encouraging physically active lifestyles among youth. To do this effectively, we need ...
Plasticity of the temporomandibular joint in rabbits [abstract]
(2010-03)
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the mammalian body. Major changes in diet during weaning and corresponding responses of connective tissues of the feeding apparatus are incompletely ...
Potential role of Kallikrein 5 expression in metastatic dissemination of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) [abstract]
(2010-03)
OSCC is one of the top 10 causes of cancer deaths worldwide, with only a 50% 5-year survival rate, necessitating the discovery of novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Using cDNA microarray analyses, we identified ...
Prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency and insulin resistance among overweight children and adolescents : a data bse study [abstract]
