Detection of a Far-Infrared Bow-Shock Nebula Around R Hya: the First MIRIAD Results
(American Astronomical Society, 2006)
We present the first results of the MIRIAD (MIPS InfraRed Imaging of AGB Dust shells) project using the Spitzer Space Telescope. The primary aim of the project is to probe the material distribution in the extended
circumstellar ...
Applying the Polarization Memory Effect in Polarization-gated Subsurface Imaging
(The Optical Society of America, 2006-05)
Polarization memory is a well established phenomenon occurring when circularly polarized light propagates in turbid media of larger particles. Recent studies have demonstrated that the circularly crosspolarized imaging can ...
A critical sociocultural perspective on academic literacies in Latin America
(Universidad de Antioquia, 2019)
, and it addresses issues of power, identity, representation, and authority. The author invites Latin American scholars to consider the implications of a critical sociocultural perspective on academic literacies and the possibilities it offers for understanding how...
Correlates of credit card adoption in urban China
(2012)
Analysis of data from the 2008 Survey of Chinese Consumer Finance and Investor Education indicated that 30.0 % of the sample households held at least one credit card. Significant factors associated with the probability ...
Special section : There's no place like CoMo
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2011)
New campus and civic buildings, restaurants, bike lanes and public art have sprouted in Columbia.
A systematic literature review on image information needs and behaviors
(2020)
Purpose: With ready access to search engines and social media platforms, the way people find image information has evolved and diversified in the past two decades. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the ...
Expression of Target Optical Properties in Subsurface Polarization-gated Imaging
(The Optical Society of America, 2005-05)
We examined the expression of target optical properties in subsurface polarization imaging under linearly and circularly polarized illumination. Reflecting, scattering, and absorption targets were imaged in tissue mimic ...
Resources, Capabilities, and Routines in Public Organizations
(Social Science Research Network, 2010)
States, state agencies, multilateral agencies, and other non-market actors are relatively under-studied in strategic management and organization science. While important contributions to the study of public actors have ...
Transillumination Optical Tomography of Tissue-Engineered Blood Vessels: A Monte Carlo Simulation
(The Optical Society of America, 2005-07)
A Monte Carlo technique has been developed to simulate the transillumination laser computed tomography of tissue-engineered blood vessels. The blood vessel was modeled as a single cylinder layer mounted on a tubular mandrel. ...
(Mis-) Measuring the Relative Pay of Public School Teachers
(Education Finance and Policy, 2006)
Statistics on the relative pay of public school teachers are routinely cited by plaintiffs in school finance (“adequacy”) lawsuits. However, comparisons of pay and
benefits for public school teachers to those of professional ...
Feasibility of performing apnea test in a brain dead patient on veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
(University of Missouri, Department of Medicine, Division of Hospital Medicine, 2017-07)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is being increasingly used to provide support in patients with refractory cardiopulmonary distress syndromes. Neurological sequelae, either from the ECMO or the hypoxic/hypotensive ...
The mass-loss return from evolved stars to the Large Magellanic Cloud. III. Dust properties for carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch stars
(EDP Sciences, 2010)
We present a radiative transfer model for the circumstellar dust shell around a Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) long-period variable (LPV) previously studied as part of the Optical Gravitational Lensing Experiment (OGLE) ...
Risk of Regulation or Regulation of Risk? A De Minimus Framework for Genetically Modified Crops
(AgBioForum, 2011)
The precautionary principle places an impractical onus on science to demonstrate the absolute safety of genetically-modified (GM) crops. Conversely, traditionally bred articles receive little, if any, regulatory attention. ...
Temperature-dependent photoluminescence of organic semiconductors with varying backbone conformation
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We present photoluminescence studies as a function of temperature from a series of conjugated polymers and a conjugated molecule all with distinctly different backbone conformations. The organic materials investigated here ...
