One bite = Instant pleasure
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
There is nothing like biting into a big juicy over processed cheeseburger that is smothered with processed condiments that make your taste buds scream with joy with every bit you take. While that may sound repulsive now ...
Pollution, soil, and Columbia Missouri
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Columbia Missouri is getting bigger in every aspect. From parking lots to mega apartment complexes Columbia is expanding its borders constantly. Because of this rapid growth there are many effects of the construction that ...
The Production and Price Impact of Biotech Corn, Canola, and Soybean Crops
(AgBioForum, 2010)
Biotech crops have now been grown commercially on a substantial global scale since 1996. This article examines the production effects of the technology and impacts on cereal and oilseed markets through the use of agricultural ...
Global Impact of Biotech Crops : Environmental Effects, 1996-2008
(AgBioForum, 2010)
This article updates the assessment of the impact commercialized agricultural biotechnology is having on global agriculture from an environmental perspective. It focuses on the impact of changes in pesticide use and ...
Prospects for Development of Genetically Modified Cassava in Sub- Saharan Africa
(AgBioForum, 2010)
The prospect for the development of genetically modified (GM) orphan crops is reviewed from various perspectives. The article specifically assesses the potential constraints for developing GM cassava based on typical ...
Cost of Compliance with Biotechnology Regulation in the Philippines : Implications for Developing Countries
(AgBioForum, 2010)
Direct and opportunity costs of regulation are presented for four transgenic products in the Philippines: Bt eggplant, Bt rice, ringspot-virus-resistant papaya, and virus-resistant tomatoes. Understanding the magnitude of ...
HVAC optimization study
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) can be a very costly effort when applied in industry. So was thought to be the case at the DRS Technologies facility in West Plains, Missouri. Therefore, the Pollution ...
Treasure found in a trash heap : composting at Mizzou
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
A pile of apple cores, melon seeds, half eaten bread, corn kernels, and broccoli wait on a curb in black trash bags. But this food waste has a different destination than similar trash bags. Instead of being transported to ...
Energy from unlikely sources : MU Power Plant's road to sustainability
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The University of Missouri Power Plant has been the source of steam and electricity for the University of Missouri campus for over 85 years. Established in 1923, the plant began with only four coal burning boilers and two ...
PT or cervical collar for cervical radiculopathy?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
To shorten recovery time for adults with acute cervical radiculopathy, recommend either physical therapy (PT) and a home exercise plan or a cervical collar and rest. Both are more effective than a wait-and-see strategy. ...
How should you manage children born to hepatitis C-positive women?
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
for starters, don't be overly concerned with the mode of delivery; it doesn't influence the rate of transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV), except in women who are also infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) ...
Antiadiabatic limit of the exchange-correlation kernels of an inhomogeneous electron gas
(American Physical Society, 2010)
We express the high-frequency (antiadiabatic) limit of the exchange-correlation (xc) kernels of an inhomogeneous electron gas in terms of the following equilibrium properties: the ground-state density, the xc kinetic stress ...
Soils : to be or not to be ... on campus
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Soil erosion causes harm on and off-site. On-site impacts are confined to the local area where as the damages caused by off-site impacts are felt by society at large. The most harmful on-site impact is the actual loss of ...
Spin gaps and spin-flip energies in density-functional theory
(American Physical Society, 2010)
Energy gaps are crucial aspects of the electronic structure of finite and extended systems. Whereas much is known about how to define and calculate charge gaps in density-functional theory (DFT), and about the relation ...
The Price paid for building anew
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Currently, the University of Missouri-Columbia has seven construction projects being worked on throughout campus according to the campus facilities department. With the increasingly important goal of providing a top-notch ...
Many-Body Orbital Paramagnetism in Doped Graphene Sheets
(American Physical Society, 2010)
The orbital magnetic susceptibility of a gas of noninteracting massless Dirac fermions is zero when the Fermi energy is away from the Dirac point. Making use of diagrammatic perturbation theory, we calculate exactly the ...
Spin Drag in an Ultracold Fermi Gas on the Verge of Ferromagnetic Instability
(American Physical Society, 2010)
Recent experiments [Jo et al., Science 325, 1521 (2009)] have presented evidence of ferromagnetic correlations in a two- component ultracold Fermi gas with strong repulsive interactions. Motivated by these experiments we ...
Depression in pregnancy
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2010)
This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of depression during pregnancy.
Coregulation of Ion Channel Conductances Preserves Output in a Computational Model of a Crustacean Cardiac Motor Neuron
(Society for Neuroscience, 2010)
Similar activity patterns at both neuron and network levels can arise from different combinations of membrane and synaptic conductance values. A strategy by which neurons may preserve their electrical output is via cell ...
The commercial application of GMO crops in Africa : Burkina Faso's decade of experience with Bt cotton
