Vice Chancellor for Research Seminar Series:
Excess Heat and Particle Tracks from Deuterium-loaded Palladium
Friday, May 29, 2009
12:30 p.m. to 7:15 p.m.
Jesse Wrench Auditorium
Memorial Union
University of Missouri
Many research groups have reported excess heat from deuterated palladium using many different experimental techniques. Recently, the Navy's SPAWAR laboratory published experimental results that document the production of nuclear particles, thereby providing direct evidence that nuclear reactions are occurring. However, these observed particle tracks are at levels that are much smaller than would be expected if this excess heat resulted from conventional nuclear fusion. These excess heat reports often vastly exceed that which would likely be produced by chemical reactions or by structural phase transitions in the palladium.
Please join us to closely review these experimental results, to explore hypothetical models for the possible physical origin of these effects, and to propose well-controlled experiments that may be conducted in the future in an attempt to rule out these hypothetical models.

Feb. 13: Engaging the Public
Join us on Feb. 13 for the third of ten online, interactive events, presented by MOREnet, MODOT and RoundTrips.
Date: Feb. 13, 2009
Times: 9 to 10 a.m. and 10:30 to 11:30 a.m.
Grade Levels: 7-12
Replacing an old bridge with a new one involves far more than just destroying one bridge and building another. Significant attention must be paid to the impact the construction process will have on the life of the people, businesses and communities near the bridge site on both sides of the river. How will people get to work? How will the environment around the bridge site be affected? What should businesses in the area expect? What happens if there's an emergency and residents have to get across the river? To determine the answers to these and other questions, members of the Missouri Department of Transportation studied a great deal of information when preparing to build a new bridge across the river at Glasgow, Mo. But study alone was not enough. Missouri transportation officials then needed to engage the public to increase understanding of the project and answer people’s questions and concerns about how their lives would be affected by it. This research and public interaction then resulted in additional decisions made before the construction process began.
For this program, the third of our ten part series developed with the Missouri Department of Transportation as it builds a new bridge across the Missouri River at Glasgow, Mo., your students will learn about the process of engaging the public on a project of this magnitude. Students will see how the science and engineering of bridge construction combine with civic responsibility as they interact with transportation officials at a public engagement meeting. Students will be asked to take on the perspective of a member of the public to develop their questions in advance of the program and ask those questions during the videoconference. Students can choose to be a general community member, businessman, farmer, environmental activist or historic preservationist. Whichever role they choose to take, what would they want to ask? What concerns would they have about how the construction process would affect them? What would they need to know to make sure they'd be ready to deal with the construction process? For example, if they lived on one side of the river and worked on the other, how would they get to work? If they were a farmer, how would they get their crops to the grain elevator? If they are worried about environmental impacts, are there fish or bird species that might be affected by the construction? As engineers and other transportation officials answer their questions, students will also see how people in these careers engage with the public and deal with public concerns. Data used by transportation officials as they developed plans for the Glasgow bridge will be provided to your students in advance of the program to help them develop their questions.

Jan. 30: Why This Bridge Here
Join us on Jan. 30 for the second of ten online, interactive events, presented by MOREnet, MODOT and RoundTrips.
Date: Jan. 30, 2009
Times: 10 to 10:45 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. to Noon
Grade Levels: 4-8
Have you ever noticed there are all sorts of different shapes to bridges that span rivers, gorges and highways? Have you ever wondered “why did they build that kind of bridge here?” This program is designed to help you and your students answer those questions. We’ll explore basic bridge shapes such as arch, beam, suspension and cable-stayed. We’ll look at the forces of tension, compression, torsion, bending and shear that act on those bridge shapes. We’ll investigate how the purpose of the bridge, its geographic location and the materials used in its construction also help determine its final design.
This is the second of our ten part series developed with the Missouri Department of Transportation as it builds a new bridge across the Missouri River at Glasgow, Mo. Students will see examples of different types of bridges and engage in discussion and activities with engineers who design and build bridges. We’ll look at examples of bridges from around the world and the specifics of the new bridge being built at Glasgow.

Peek Into Riverbluff Cave
April 14, 2007
View a recording of this event.
On April 14, Springfield-Greene Library District hosted a book-signing for David Harrison, author of the soon-to-be-published Cave Detectives: Unraveling the Mystery of an Ice Age Cave. With the aid of the Missouri Research & Education Network (MOREnet), the 175 people in attendance, along with entire world, were offered a glimpse inside the subject of Harrison's book: Riverbluff Cave.
Discovered by construction workers in 2001, Riverbluff Cave is almost one million years old, and the oldest or second-oldest Ice Age fossil site in North America. Through a collaboration with MOREnet, Ozark Technical Community College and the Missouri Parks Department, the cave was wired with fiber-optic cables and became the first cave with permanent Internet access.
During the April 14 event, Harrison and the attendees were able to interact via videoconference with paleontologist Matt Forir and his assistant, Lisa McCann, from their locations inside the cave.
