The Art of music, apple pie, and coping
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Every human has negative energy that needs to be channeled to some place and the reality is, we thrive on emotion and must maintain a healthy equilibrium in order to function. Whether it is turning to external remedies or ...
Editor's Introduction : First year writing special issue
(Rhetoric and Composition Program, University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
First-Year Composition at the University of Missouri--English 1000-- is characterized above all by its diversity. While broad guidelines and goals underwrite what a phalanx of instructors implement in nearly 200 sections ...
The interface between the stellar wind and interstellar medium around R Cassiopeiae revealed by far-infrared imaging
(arXiv, 2009)
The circumstellar dust shells of intermediate initial-mass (about 1 to 8 solar masses) evolved stars are generated by copious mass loss during the asymptotic giant branch phase. The density structure of their circumstellar ...
The Effect Of Stellar Pulsation Cycles On Dust Formation: A Temporal Study Of Mid-infrared Spectrum Of O-rich AGB Star, T Cep
(American Institute of Physics, 2009)
Pulsation is believed to be the driving mechanism behind mass loss and dust formation around AGB stars. We present a temporal study of T Cep, a long-period Mira variable, which was observed seven times during a 16 month ...
Stochastic Benefit Streams, Learning, and Technology Diffusion : Why Drought Tolerance is Not the New Bt
(AgBioForum, 2010)
The speed of Bt cotton diffusion among smallholders in poor countries such as India, China, and South Africa has been unprecedented. Hopes are high for drought-tolerant (DT) varieties that similarly reduce yield risk and ...
Shapiro Effect as a Possible Cause of the Low-Frequency Pulsar Timing Noise in Globular Clusters
(arXiv, 2005)
A prolonged timing of millisecond pulsars has revealed low-frequency uncorrelated noise, presumably of astrophysical origin, in the pulse arrival time (PAT) residuals for some of them. In most cases, pulsars in globular ...
Hypernetted-chain study of broken rotational symmetry states for the ν=1/3 fractional quantum Hall effect and other fractionally filled Landau levels
(American Physical Society, 2001)
We investigate broken rotational symmetry (BRS) states for the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at 1/3 filling of the valence Landau level (LL). Recent Monte Carlo calculations by Musaelian and Joynt [J. Phys.: Condens. ...
Coulomb corrections to the extrinsic spin-Hall effect of a two-dimensional electron gas
(American Physical Society, 2006)
We develop the microscopic theory of the extrinsic spin-Hall conductivity of a two- dimensional electron gas, including skew- scattering, side-jump, and Coulomb interaction effects. We find that while the spin-Hall ...
Exchange and correlation effects on the plasmon dispersions and the Coulomb drag in low-density electron bilayers
(arXiv, 2006)
We investigate the effect of exchange and correlation (xc) on the plasmon spectrum and the Coulomb drag between spatially separated low-density two-dimensional electron layers. We adopt a new approach, which employs dynamic ...
Lifetime of a quasiparticle in an electron liquid
(American Physical Society, 2005)
We calculate the inelastic lifetime of an electron quasiparticle due to Coulomb interactions in an electron liquid at low (or zero) temperature in two and three spatial dimensions. The contribution of “exchange” processes ...
Liquid crystalline states for two-dimensional electrons in strong magnetic fields
(American Physical Society, 2004)
Based on the Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young theory of two-dimensional melting and the analogy between Laughlin states and the two-dimensional one-component plasma, we investigate the possibility of liquid ...
Fermi hypernetted-chain study of half-filled Landau levels with broken rotational symmetry
(American Physical Society, 2002)
We investigate broken rotational symmetry (BRS) states at half-filling of the valence Landau level (LL). We generalize Rezayi and Read's (RR) trial wave function, a special case of Jain's composite fermion (CF) wave ...
Collective excitations in quantum Hall liquid crystals: Single-mode approximation calculations
(American Physical Society, 2006)
A variety of recent experiments probing the low-temperature transport properties of quantum Hall systems have suggested an interpretation in terms of liquid crystalline mesophases dubbed quantum Hall liquid crystals. The ...
Monte Carlo simulation method for Laughlin-like states in a disk geometry
(American Physical Society, 2003)
We discuss an alternative accurate Monte Carlo method to calculate the ground-state energy and related quantities for Laughlin states of the fractional quantum Hall effect in a disk geometry. This alternative approach ...
Gravitational Radiation Theory and Light Propagation
(arXiv, 2000)
The paper gives an introduction to the gravitational radiation theory of isolated sources and to the propagation properties of light rays in radiative gravitational fields. It presents a theoretical study of the generation, ...
Adoption of Conservation-Tillage Practices and Herbicide-Resistant Seed in Cotton Production
(AgBioForum, 2009)
Agricultural Resource Management Survey data for 2003 were used to estimate logit models for adoption of conservation-tillage practices and herbicide resistant/ stacked-gene cottonseed in the United States. The specification ...
The Measurement of the Light Deflection from Jupiter: Theoretical Interpretation
(arXiv, 2003)
Equations of light, propagating from quasar to observer on earth, are integrated in the time-dependent gravitational field of the solar system by making use of either retarded or advanced solutions of the Einstein field ...
General relativistic model for experimental measurement of the speed of propagation of gravity by VLBI
(arXiv, 2002)
A relativistic sub-picosecond model of gravitational time delay in radio astronomical observations is worked out and a new experimental test of general relativity is discussed in which the effect of retardation of gravity ...
A decoupled system of hyperbolic equations for linearized cosmological perturbations
(arXiv, 2002)
A decoupled system of hyperbolic partial differential equations for linear perturbations around any spatially flat FRW universe is obtained for a wide class of perturbations. The considered perturbing energy momentum-tensors ...
Retardation of Gravity in Binary Pulsars
(arXiv, 2002)
We study the effect of retardation of gravity in binary pulsars. It appears in pulsar timing formula as a periodic excess time delay to the Shapiro effect. The retardation of gravity effect can be large enough for observation ...
