Endogenous Equity Shares in Cournot Competition: Welfare Analysis and Policy

Abstract We consider a duopoly in which firms can strategically choose equity shares on their rival’s profits before competing in quantities. We identify equilibrium equity shares, and subsequently compare them against the optimal equity shares that maximize social welfare. Most previous studies assume that equity shares are exogenous, and those allowing for endogenous shares do not evaluate if equilibrium shares are socially excessive or insufficient. Our results also help us identify taxes on equity acquisition that induce firms to produce a socially optimal output without the need to directly tax output levels.
Dissipation and Leaching of Pyroxasulfone and S-Metolachlor

Abstract Pyroxasulfone dissipation and mobility in the soil was evaluated and compared to S-metolachlor in 2009 and 2010 at two field sites in northern Colorado, on a Nunn fine clay loam, and Olney fine sandy loam soil. Pyroxasulfone dissipation half-life (DT50) values varied from 47 to 134 d, and those of S-metolachlor ranged from 39 to 63 d. Between years, herbicide DT50 values were similar under the Nunn fine clay loam soil. Under the Olney fine sandy loam soil, dissipation in 2009 was minimal under dry soil conditions. In 2010, under the Olney fine sandy loam soil, S-metolachlor and pyroxasulfone had half-lives of 39 and 47 d, respectively, but dissipation rates appeared to be influenced by movement of herbicides below 30 cm. Herbicide mobility was dependent on site-year conditions, in all site-years pyroxasulfone moved further downward in the soil profile compared to S-metolachlor. Nomenclature: Pyroxasulfone; S-metolachlor. Resumen La disipación y movilidad de pyroxasulfone en el suelo fueron evaluadas y comparadas con las de S-metolachlor en 2009 y 2010 en dos campos en el Norte de Colorado, en un suelo Nunn franco arcilloso fino y un suelo Olney franco arenoso fino. Los valores de vida media de disipación (DT50) de pyroxasulfone variaron entre 47 y 134 d, y de S-metolachlor entre 39 y 63 d. Entre años, los valores DT50 de los herbicidas fueron similares en el suelo Nunn franco arcilloso fino. Mientras que en el suelo Olney franco arenoso fino, la disipación en 2009 fue mínima bajo condiciones de suelo seco. En 2010 en el suelo Olney franco arenoso fino, S-metolachlor y pyroxasulfone tuvieron vidas medias de 39 a 47 d, respectivamente, pero las tasas de disipación parecieron ser influenciadas por el movimiento de los herbicidas debajo de los 30 cm de profundidad. La movilidad de los herbicidas dependió de las condiciones sitio-año, y en todos los sitios-año pyroxasulfone se movió a mayor profundidad que S-metolachlor dentro del perfil del suelo.
Evolution of hybrid incompatibilities in gene regulatory networks

EVOLUTION OF HYBRID INCOMPATIBILITIES IN GENE REGULATORY NETWORKS SEPTEMBER 2013 ALEXANDER Y. TULCHINSKY, B.S., VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND M.S., VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY, RICHMOND Ph.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS, AMHERST Directed by: Adam H. Porter Under the Dobzhansky-Muller model, postzygotic isolation results from incompatibility between interacting genes. Evidence points to regulatory networks as a rich source of incompatibilities that impact hybrid fitness. Pleiotropy is a natural feature of regulatory networks because regulatory elements generally have multiple targets. Both pleiotropy and hybrid incompatibility arise due to genetic interactions; therefore we can expect an intimate association between them. In the following chapters, I investigate the relationship between pleiotropy and hybrid incompatibility in the context of regulatory networks. In chapter one, I extend a general network-based study of hybrid incompatibility by incorporating a sequence-based thermodynamic model of transcriptional regulation. In the absence of pleiotropy, hybrid misregulation of a positively selected trait evolves quickly as a consequence of non-recognition or spurious binding in regulatory

OSMOTIC REGULATION OF α-AMYLASE SYNTHESIS AND POLYRIBOSOME FORMATION IN ALEURONE CELLS OF BARLEY

Water stress inhibits the gibberellic acid (GA3)-induced synthesis of α-amylase in aleurone layers of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Electron microscope evidence indicates that the effect of water stress induced by 0.6 M solutions of polyethylene glycol (PEG) is to reduce the binding of ribosomes to the endoplasmic reticulum. This was confirmed by sucrose density gradient centrifugation of polyribosome preparations from stressed cells. The reduction in polyribosome formation does not result from reduced ribosome activity as measured by [3H]peptidylpuromycin formation. Thus, calculation of percent active ribosomes shows that osmoticum has little effect on the ability of ribosomes to incorporate puromycin into nascent protein. Water stress does not cause a marked decrease in the total RNA level of aleurone cells. Estimates of total RNA in postmitochondrial supernatant fractions from stressed cells show only a reduction of 8–9% relative to the control. Membrane synthesis measured by [14C]choline incorporation is depressed by 15% in cells stressed with 0.6 M PEG for 2.5 hours.

Field Margin Weed-species Diversity in Relation to Landscape Attributes and Adjacent Land Use

Abstract The importance of managing weeds in seminatural habitats that are adjacent to farm fields is unclear. Weedy-margin vegetation may harbor pests or pathogens and may also serve as source populations for ongoing immigration of weeds into the field. It is also possible, however, that margin vegetation provides habitat for organisms that consume weed seeds or suppress the likelihood of pest or pathogen outbreak. We examined the nature of margin habitat using spatial-scaling of weed-species richness as an ecological assay. In 2003, we recorded the occurrence of weedy species along the perimeters of 63 fields in Wisconsin. The fields were distributed within six counties that differed in topography, geological history, local climate, and soil type and which spanned the range of variability in the agricultural landscape. We identified seven habitats that differed in geology and land use. The relationship between species richness and margin class was estimated using an analog of the power law. Additionally, we investigated broadscale correlates of habitat heterogeneity at the field level, using a modeling strategy that included additional explanatory factors logically connected to plant diversity. Using a model-confrontation approach, the survey supported the inclusion of two topographical diversity indices, elevation gradient and a field-shape index, into our model. Our broadscale survey provides information on one of a suite of important considerations needed to make decisions about the importance of managing weeds in field margins.
Metabolic Programming of Hypothalamic Neurocircuits by Maternal High-Fat Feeding

In light of the ever-increasing incidences of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, development of novel therapeutic or preventative measures to combat these epidemics is of utmost importance. Over the last decades, it became clear that maternal obesity and diabetes mellitus during pregnancy increase the risk of the unborn child to develop metabolic disorders throughout lifetime. This causal relationship between an altered maternal metabolic homeostasis and the increased propensity of the child to develop these metabolic impairments itself is often referred to as “metabolic programming”. However, despite the multitude of studies already carried out in this field of research, to date we still know very little about the developmental alterations responsible for the impaired regulation of energy and glucose homeostasis in children of obese and/or diabetic mothers. Here we could demonstrate by employing a thorough and physiological maternal high-fat diet-(HFD) feeding paradigm in mice that nutritional and hormonal alterations specifically during lactation predispose the offspring for obesity and impaired glucose homeostasis. These metabolic defects are associated with malformations of the hypothalamic melanocortin circuitry in the offspring. Whereas the number and neuropeptide expression of anorexigenic proopiomelanocortin (POMC) and orexigenic agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons, electrophysiological properties of POMC neurons and posttranslational processing of POMC to the active neurotransmitter α-MSH remain unaffected in response to maternal HFD-feeding during lactation, the formation of POMC and AgRP projections to hypothalamic target sites is severely impaired. Moreover, abrogating insulin action in POMC neurons of the offspring prevents altered POMC projections specifically to the preautonomic paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVH), restores pancreatic parasympathetic innervation and improves glucose-stimulated insulin-secretion in response to maternal overnutrition. Taken together, these experiments reveal a critical developmental period of particular vulnerability towards altered maternal metabolic homeostasis. An abnormal developmental environment during exactly this period, i.e. the postnatal lactation period in mice that refers to the third trimester of pregnancy in humans, impairs hypothalamic neuronal projections at least in part by abnormal neuronal insulin signaling and thereby contributes to the increased propensity to develop obesity and impaired glucose homeostasis in mice.
Concussions in Competitive Artistic Swimming: Investigating Incidence and Injury Context through a Community-based Approach

Artistic (synchronized) swimming is a fast-paced, predominantly female aesthetic sport on which there has been very little research. Despite origins in theatrical performance, the physical demands of artistic swimming have evolved significantly, subsequently increasing the potential for traumatic injury, including concussion. Sport-related concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can result in behavioural complaints, cognitive impairments, mood disturbance, and altered sleep. Despite findings that female athletes may experience a greater rate of concussion, more symptoms, and longer recovery than male athletes, females remain under-represented in sport concussion research. Sport-related concussion in artistic swimming has not yet been examined. The purpose of this research was to explore the incidence and injury context of sport-related concussion in youth artistic swimmers in Ontario within a community-based research setting. First, a retrospective study examined the injury context factors surrounding concussions sustained during artistic swimming. Second, a prospective study measured the incidence of concussion in this population over one season, and further explored the injury context of concussion. The incidence risk of concussion was 1.91%, and the clinical incidence was 1.91 per 100 athletes. The most frequent mechanism of injury was contact with another athlete, most commonly during pattern transitions and highlights. Concussions occurred most frequently in in-pool training between November and March, and in the deep-end of the pool. Valuable sport-specific concussion resources for the artistic swimming community were developed through collaboration with Ontario Artistic Swimming. One of these resources was iii an injury tracking program. A qualitative study examining coaches’ perceptions of the injury tracker provided valuable feedback for improvements. The important lessons learned from this partnership include the identification of contact between athletes in artistic swimming, findings of concussion incidence comparable to other girls’ sports, and description of the injury contexts associated with concussion in artistic swimming. Exploration of concussion in artistic swimming is warranted to protect the health and safety of these athletes, to expand the research on sport concussion in girls and women, and assist coaches and officials in understanding the nature of concussions in artistic swimming.
Seismic analysis of dam-foundation-reservoir coupled system using direct coupling method

This paper presents seismic analysis of concrete gravity dams considering soil-structure-fluid interaction. Displacement based plane strain finite element formulation is considered for the dam and foundation domain whereas pressure based finite element formulation is considered for the reservoir domain. A direct coupling method has been adopted to obtain the interaction effects among the dam, foundation and reservoir domain to obtain the dynamic responses of the dam. An efficient absorbing boundary condition has been implemented at the truncation surfaces of the foundation and reservoir domains. A parametric study has been carried out considering each domain separately and collectively based on natural frequencies, crest displacement and stress at the neck level of the dam body. The combined frequency of the entire coupled system is very less than that of the each individual sub-system. The crest displacement and neck level stresses of the dam shows prominent enhancement when coupling effect is taken into consideration. These outcomes suggest that a complete coupled analysis is necessary to obtain the actual responses of the concrete gravity dam. The developed methodology can easily be implemented in finite element code for analyzing the coupled problem to obtain the desired responses of the individual sub-domains.
Heterosis for biological nitrogen fixation traits and yield components in black gram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper)

In a line × tester experiment, twenty three black gram genotypes consisting of five lines with good nitrogen fixing capacity, three high yielding testers and their 15 hybrid combinations were evaluated, adopting a randomized block design with three replications. For nodule weight and nitrogen content at 50% flowering, the cross WBG13 × VBN1 and Pant U19 × T9 exhibited highest positive relative heterosis and standard heterosis respectively. In the case of grain yield per plant, highest positive relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis were displayed by the cross WBG13 × AKU4.
Studies on the Response of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus (L.) Moench) To Nitrogen Fertilization and Irrigation

An experiment was conducted for two years at the Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Hessaraghatta, Bangalore, on sandy loam soil low in organic carbon and available phosphorus content and medium in available potassium content, to study the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilization and soil moisture regimes on fruit size and yield of okra. Nitrogen fertilization significantly increased the fruit size and fruit yield in both the years of study. The optimum level of nitrogen fertilization was found to be 116.9 kg per ha yielding 112.1 q/ha of marketable fruits. Okra sown in August can be grown successfully as a rainfed crop around Bangalore, if the year is normal with respect to rainfall.
