Linear Continuum Mechanics for Quantum Many-Body Systems
(American Physical Society, 2009)
We develop the continuum mechanics of quantum many-body systems in the linear response regime. The basic variable of the theory is the displacement field, for which we derive a closed equation of motion under the assumption ...
Pricing of Herbicide-Tolerant Soybean Seeds : A Market-Structure Approach
(AgBioForum, 2009)
This article investigates the effects of supply-side factors on the pricing of soybean seeds in the United States. We discuss recent trends that have shaped the US soybean seed market. Using an econometric model, we also ...
Density-Functional Theory for Strongly Interacting Electrons
(American Physical Society, 2009)
We present an alternative to the Kohn-Sham formulation of density-functional theory for the ground-state properties of strongly interacting electronic systems. The idea is to start from the limit of zero kinetic energy and ...
Mueller Matrix Decomposition of Diffuse Reflectance Imaging in Skeletal Muscle
(The Optical Society of America, 2009-05)
Propagation of polarized light in skeletal muscle is significantly affected by anisotropic muscle structures. To completely characterize muscle polarization properties, we acquired the whole Mueller matrix images of the ...
(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 ...
International Patent Behavior of Nine Major Agricultural Biotechnology Firms
(AgBioForum, 2006)
This paper examines the international patent behavior of nine major firms for seven patent authorities: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, the European Patent Office (EPO), Japan, and South Africa. The patent sample is based ...
Role of Biotechnology in Stimulating Agribusiness R&D Investment in India
(University of Missouri, College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources, 2013)
Biotechnology influenced Indian R&D through three channels: Bt cotton seed sales increased seed companies' income, providing them with money to invest in R&D and increasing their expectation for future profits from R&D; ...
An exploratory survey of reference source instruction in LIS courses
(Reference & User Services Quarterly, 2006)
We surveyed 40 reference instructors at 28 North American ALA-accredited programs of library and information studies about instructional methods they used in teaching about reference sources in print and electronic formats. ...
Anomalous Silicate Dust Emission in the Type 1 Liner Nucleus of M81
(American Astronomical Society, 2010)
We report the detection and successful modeling of the unusual 9.7μm Si-O stretching silicate emission feature in the type 1 (i.e., face-on) LINER nucleus of M81. Using the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) instrument on Spitzer, ...
Nutritional Skewing of Conceptus Sex in Sheep: Effects of a Maternal Diet Enriched in Rumen-Protected Polyunsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA)
(Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2008)
Evolutionary theory suggests that in polygynous mammalian species females in better body condition should produce more sons than daughters. Few controlled studies have however tested this hypothesis and controversy exists ...
Mergers, Acquisitions, and Stocks of Agricultural Biotechnology Intellectual Property
(AgBioForum, 2005)
A subset of patents owned by six large agricultural biotechnology companies is analyzed from the new Initiatives for Future Agriculture and Food Systems (IFAFS) Agricultural Biotechnology Intellectual Property database. ...
Homecoming special section : Establishing a legacy
(MU Alumni Association, University of Missouri, 2014)
Read about Coach Gary Pinkel, Mizzou's winningest football coach; meet the students who plan Homecoming; and get the latest on the celebration's activities and parade route.
Assessing the Performance of GM Maize Amongst Smallholders in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
(AgBioForum, 2009)
This study uses data for the 2006/07 maize production season, for the Hlabisa, Dumbe, and Simdlangentsha districts in Kwa- Zulu-Natal, South Africa, to investigate the relative efficiencies of conventional, insect-resistant ...
Relating Biophysical Properties Across Scales
(2007)
A distinguishing feature of a multicellular living system is that it operates at various scales, from the intracellular to organismal. Genes and molecules set up the conditions for the physical processes to act, in particular ...

The Measurement of the Light Deflection from Jupiter: Experimental Results
(arXiv, 2003)
We have determined the relativistic light deflection of the quasar J0842+1835 as Jupiter passed within 3.7' on 2002 September 8, by measuring the time delay using the VLBA and Effelsberg radio telescopes at 8.4 GHz. At ...
