Late Roman ceramics from the Panayia Field, Corinth (late 4th to 7th C.) : the long-distance, regional and local wares in their economic, social and historical contexts
Authors:   , Hammond Mark D.
Published: May 2024

This dissertation presents the Late Roman (late 4th- to 7th-century) ceramic material from the archaeological excavations of the Panayia Field (Corinth, Greece). Through careful analysis of the ceramic fabrics, including petrographic analysis, all of the major wares from the site are characterized, and the mechanisms and networks responsible for each ware's distribution are reconstructed. A major contribution of this study is the equal attention paid to local and regional wares alongside the better-understood long-distance imports. A typological presentation of the ceramic forms documents the range of vessels manufactured in each ware with a consideration of what their presence or absence reveals about activities practiced on or near the site. Additionally, comparison with assemblages from other regional sites illustrates that similar relationships with long-distance, regional, and local networks existed elsewhere. This study concludes with the application of these results to broader issues of economic, social, and historic significance. It explores Corinth's relationship with regional ceramic workshops (the ceramic koine) and argues that a context of economic stability (not decline) was responsible for the intensification of local production and regional networks. Finally, it examines how the study of these ceramics and the various networks that distributed them contributes to the understanding of the history of Corinth and the northeastern Peloponnese at the end of antiquity.
The paragon of Leonardo da Vinci
Authors:   , Rusk Fern Helen
Published: May 2024

Text taken from page i: "The part of Leonardo's literary legacy which forms the basis for the present study has since Manzi 's publication of the Codex Vaticanus commonly been known as the Paragon. The only copy we have of the Paragon is contained in this Vatican codex, which is accepted as a middle sixteenth century copy from the original manu- scripts of Leonardo. Because it appears here with the rest of the so-called Book on Painting, it has been published only in connection with that. However, it forms a distinct division. The rest of the Codex deals with the theory and practice of painting, while the main thesis of the Paragon is the comparison of the arts of painting, poetry, music, and sculpture. For this reason, and because there is more direct evidence for believing that Leonardo intended the Paragon as a separate treatise I feel myself justified in so presenting it."
A preliminary study of the anodic phenomena occurring in organic electrolysis
Authors:   , Gaddum Leonard William
Published: May 2024

Some preliminary calculations have been made in an endeavor to connect the electrolytic decomposition potentials of compounds with the electron affinity of the constituents of the compounds. Variations in the experimental data at hand are so wide that no great degree of accuracy can be ascribed to these calculations. The depolarization values of several organic acids were determined, as a preliminary step toward. the construction of an oxidation-reduction series for organic compounds. Secondary decomposition points were determined for a few organic acids. The uncertainty in the interpretation of these points was pointed out. Some organic compounds were electrolytically oxidized. The electro-oxidation of phenol in methyl alcohol solution yielded hydroquinone and an unidentified resin. Phenyl iodide was synthesized electrolytically by the Sandmeyer-Gattermann reaction. Mandelic acid was oxidized to benzoic acid in aqueous solution. Mandelic acid methyl ester was oxidized to benzoyl formic acid in ethyl alcohol solution.--Summary.
Pressure, volume, temperature, and composition properties of liquid n-alkane mixtures at elevated pressures
Authors:   , Snyder Phillip Sidney
Published: May 2024

Chemical engineers and chemists have long been In search of a general equation of state, Given the equation of state and appropriate thermodynamic relationships it Is possible to accurately predict isothermal changes in heat capacity, enthalpy, entropy and fugacity, activity coefficients, latent heat of vaporization, vapor pressure, and vapor-liquid equilibrium in mixtures. To date it has not been found. One attempt to write a specific equation of state has been made for chlorodifluoromethane (36), for example, to densities up to 2.3 times the critical density. This equation of state has constants, making It Impractical for general use and at very best cumbersome to work with. A logical limitation on an equation of state would be to require that it be valid for one phase only. This requires a different equation for each of the gas, liquid, and solid phases.
Interfacial tension in a binary liquid system
Authors:   , Paul George W. (William)
Published: May 2024

The interfacial tension ([gamma]) and the density difference between the mutually saturated phases carbon tetrachloride-perfluoromethylcyclohexane have been determined as a function of temperature. Interfacial tensions were measured by the drop-volume technique and the densities by the hydrostatic method. The data are reported for 35 temperatures which range from [delta]T = Tc-T = 0.05 8 to 20.65 C, where Tc = 26.625 +0.005 C is the critical solution temperature of the mixture. The data may be fit to the power law forms [gamma] = [gamma](1-T/Tc) and [delta] = A(l- T/Tc)^[beta] , with [gamma] = 29.1 , 3 +2.1 dyne/cm, cr = 1.27+0.02, A = 0.333+0.003 gm/cm and / = 0.342+0.003. These results are shown to be in agreement with certain of the scaling law predictions.
An analysis of cost-size relationships in hog production
Authors:   , Retzlaff Robert E. J.
Published: May 2024

"The state of Missouri was fourth in the production of market hogs in the United States in 1968. Hogs are produced in every county and on 40 percent of the farms in the state. Figure 1-1 shows the distribution and intensity of hog production in Missouri. Two fairly distinct types of hog enterprises are present in Missouri: the northern one-half of the state, the feed grain area, is primarily engaged in the production of market hogs for slaughter; the southern one-half of the state is recognized as a production region of quality feeder pigs. Hog receipts account for about 20 percent of the state's cash farm receipts. The measure, cash farm receipts, gives no indication of the cash expenses, depreciation, and other production costs. Net farm income from the hog enterprise would be a more useful measure of the relative and absolute contribution of an enterprise. However, cost data are not currently available from which net farm income from these sources can be estimated. Once budgets determining the total cost of production are synthesized for various size hog enterprises, the relative importance of the hog enterprise can be more effectively evaluated."--Introduction.
Dynamic economic evaluation of pest control strategies
Authors:   , Taylor Charles Robert
Published: May 2024

Two theoretical mathematical models which synthesize dynamic economic and ecological factors involved in pest control are constructed. These models can be used for the temporal evaluation of alternative insect pest control strategies. One model is for the biological control of an insect pest, where control is achieved by raising and releasing parasites of the pest. The second model is for the insecticidal control of a pest, with the model accounting for the potential hidden future costs resulting from physiological resistance potential in the pest population to the insecticide. Due to the unique nature of agroecosystems in general and insect populations in particular, these two models are not directly applicable to all real world control problems. Rather they are illustrations of a whole class of models which can be used for dynamic economic and ecological evaluation of alternative control strategies. Verbal sketches of models incorporating more complex ecological factors and other methods, singly or in combination, are given. Conceptual outlines of two empirically operational measures of the benefits and costs of pest management which can be used in connection with the dynamic models are presented. One of these measures is in terms of private benefits and costs, while the second is in terms of social benefits and costs. The information needs implied by these benefit and cost measures and the illustrative models are also discussed. In addition, some of the institutional factors which can influence the performance of various decision makers and complicate economic evaluation are noted. Finally, the implications of this study for future applied and theoretical research in pest management are discussed.
An economic analysis of the agricultural development potential for Southern Honduras
Authors:   , Baharuddin Amir Hussin
Published: May 2024

The study was conducted in the Valle and Choluteca Districts of Southern Honduras in 1974. The objectives of the study were (1) to identify input-output relationships for selected crops; (2) determine current and potential productivity estimates for various resources r which would provide guidance for making investment decisions; and (3) to derive policy recommendations for the purpose of agricultural development in Southern Honduras. A survey of 449 randomly selected sample farms, including 686 observations (fields) was conducted. The observations were stratified by soil topography types to include mountain, hills, terrace and delta soils. Corn classifications of the sample farms on the basis of technology and education were made also. Technology levels included traditional, semi-traditional and non-traditional; while education included illiterates and literate categories.The various soil-technology and soil-education classes were analyzed by means of multiple regression with a stepwise format. Model I regressed yields of selected crops on typical production function variables only. Model II regressed yields on typical production variables together with soil and climatic variables. Throughout the study the minimum error variance criterion was used to determine the variables to be included in the estimating equations.
Expectation formulations and optimal decisions in cattle feedlot problems
Authors:   , Green Richard Dale
Published: May 2024

Economic agents are continually required or assumed to make decisions based upon variables which are unknown or perhaps known with some degree of uncertainty. In order to aid the decision maker in making intelligent decisions, the traditional approach has been to devise an expectations mechanism which will predict or estimate the future values of these relevant variables. As with any estimator, it is natural to attempt to attribute desirable statistical or analytical properties to such expectations. While this may produce optimal estimates in terms of selected predictive criteria they are not necessarily optimal in the context of individual decision models. That is, when viewed in the context of decision models which include controllable and uncontrollable exogenous variables, a structure relating endogenous to exogenous variables, and an objective function it is not clear that expectations which have good predictive properties are superior to alternative estimators. With respect to the role of expectations in decision models, very little has been done in agricultural economic research. This study consists of an investigation of the role of expectations in decision problems of the type just sketched. More specifically, the investigation is carried out in the context of a cattle feedlot operation. Several structural models describing the feedlot operation are developed. A number of objective functions are considered in connection with these structural models in which the expectation mechanism is regarded as part of the underlying structure. As it turns out, this type of situation poses some interesting problems with respect to optimal parameter estimates for the part of the structure describing the expectations generating mechanism. More precisely, it is shown that the assumed objective function is an important factor in determining the optimal estimator. Since the data available may include observations on endogenous and exogenous variables as well as prior probabilities on the parameters, the estimators examined include classical as well as Bayesian approaches. Analytically, optimal estimates of parameters for expectations in decision models were shown to depend upon the constants of the decision-maker's objective function. Experimentally, various feedlot models were developed using different expectation mechanisms and strategies. In every case, the appropriate strategy expectation mechanism combination resulted in higher returns than the constant policy strategy where the feedlot manager did not attempt to anticipate future values of cattle prices. In addition, the experimental results frequently pointed out the inadequacy of cattle-on-feed data. Alternative methods of providing information to decision makers were suggested based on the analytical results. More specifically, outlook information might be categorized so as to make it more useful to the decision makers for which it is intended.
Investor capital, taxes and the structure of cattle feeding
Authors:   , Meisner Joseph Charles
Published: May 2024

The study found that nonagricultural investors are providing a sizeable and increasing share of the risk capital that finances the nation's fed beef production. The entry of nonagricultural investors is occurring even though the capital requirements of cattle feeding are a relatively minor part of the total capital invested in agriculture. However, new forms of cattle feeding financing makes the investment increasingly attractive to nonagricultural investors. Large size cattle feeding firms, formed in the late 1960's by merger of individual feedlots, offer equity investments of publicly-registered limited partnerships. This investment allows direct pass through of profits and losses to the investor's income tax account. In addition, cash accounting practices of agriculture allow use of prepaid cattle feeding expenses to shift income from the current year and thereby defer income taxes. Noncommercial feedlots (under 1,000 head size) continue their heavy decline in most states. Feedlots of over 8,000 head size have increased in numbers at a rapid rate in recent years. However, multi-lot cattle feeding firms have lots of widely varying sizes and in widely scattered locations. This pattern suggests considerations beyond production economies of size as causes of concentration in cattle feeding. Level of capacity of the multi-lot firms using the publicly- registered limited partnership to finance cattle on feed appears more basic to the firms operations than any tendency toward a particular feedlot size. Farmers and ranchers have formed cattle feeding clubs in order to amass more equity capital for increasing the frequency of cattle marketing as a means to reduce market risk. Professional cattle feeders with sizeable amounts of equity already possessed the financial resources to market cattle more frequently as a means of reducing market risk. Nevertheless, the non- agricultural investor has entered cattle feeding in exceedingly increased numbers in recent years. A conservative estimate considers their share of the nation's fed beef production as over 16 percent. More significant than the current share of control over the nation's fed beef production is the rate of increase in the control held by the nonagricultural investor. Simulation studies of risk and returns in cattle feeding investments show lower risk of loss for the higher income investor, because of progressive income tax rates. Nonagricultural investors are of the type with major sources of other regular income. Having a relatively high marginal income tax rate, cattle feeding investing offers these investors lower risk of loss than the agriculturalist who is without other major income sources against which he may offset cattle feeding losses. In general, feedlots of various sizes are merging into multi-lot firms. These firms are attracting nonagricultural investors to finance the cattle on feed in these custom feedlots. These nonagricultural investors are rapidly increasing their share of control over the nation's fed beef production in recent years.
A quarterly econometric model of the United States beef sector
Authors:   , Okyere William Asenso
Published: May 2024

The United States beef sector has been modeled in many studies, perhaps, because beef represents a large proportion of the consumer food dollar and agriculture's income. The predictive performance of these models has been, however, quite disappointing. One explanation for this result is that although it has long been recognized that the beef sector is cyclical, the previous models have not been formulated to incorporate these cycles. This study has attempted to utilize the biological and physical restrictions on the supply component of an econometric beef sector model. These restrictions take the form of flow to flow and flow to stock ratios in beef supply response specifications. The main objective for the study was to generate accurate forecasts for some major variables in the beef sector. A provisional supply response model divorced from economic considerations was first specified, estimated and simulated. Results obtained were encouraging. Using the provisional model and introducing economic hypotheses on supply response, the beef sector was characterized by an econometric model with eighteen structural equations. Farm, wholesale and retail price determination processes were modeled. Preliminary tests indicated that unidirectional causality or feedback was virtually absent among retail, wholesale and farm level prices, suggesting that prices were simultaneously determined by market mechanisms. The estimated model was validated by examining historical simulations and ex-post forecasting errors. The integrity of the estimated structure was made apparent by the remarkable tracking ability of the model and the low relative and root mean square errors for prediction. Forecasts of one-quarter ahead can be reliable but the use of the model for policy analysis and outlook is limited by large forecasting variances after two quarters. The latter result follows from the uncertainty about the structural parameters and the inability to correctly project the exogenous variables in the model. The inter-dependency of the feed grains and beef sectors was also emphasized by the policy analysis undertaken in the study. The model was more sensitive to corn prices than to any other exogenous variables considered in the policy experiments. Policies that tend to stabilize corn prices also stabilize prices in the beef sector.
Structure and organization comparisons of U.S. large volume swine producers : a national survey
Authors:   , Gonzalez Jorge A.
Published: May 2024

A national sample of hog operations marketing 1,000 head or more a year was taken in 1981. A mail questionnaire gathered the necessary information. A second survey grouped operations into three groups: feeder pig producers, pig finishers and farrow to finish operations. Hog and pig production is becoming increasingly concentrated. This study documents the trends in structure and their relationship to marketing and production practices and other aspects of the industry. Many characteristics were found to be positively associated with size, such as: the proportion of incorporated farms, the proportion of specialized pig production or pig finishing units, the degree of confinement of facilities, the proportion of hogs marketed direct to the packing plant, the proportion of hogs marketed at set times (such as every Wednesday), the proportion of slaughter hogs priced according to some agreed formula, and the proportion of slaughter hogs sold on carcass weight. Large producers (5,000 head or more marketed annually) of feeder pigs were studied in detail concerning organization, breeding stock acquisition practices, and marketing practices. Many specialized producers of feeder pigs are farrowing corporations owned by a small group of pig finishers. Specialized finishers of pigs were also studied in detail. Their various sources of pigs and the perceived advantages/disadvan- tages of these sources were developed. One of the most impressive features of these medium and larger hog production units has been their persistent growth. Nearly two-thirds of the units reported that their marketings in 1980 were larger.than in 1978. A majority of operations believed there were economies in further growth. They perceived these advantages as associated with several factors including better utilization of labor, capital and management, discounts in buying inputs, and better market prices.
Compressibility of a mixture of CH4 [plus] CO2 and correlation of compressibility factors
Authors:   , Amer Mohamed M.
Published: May 2024

The work presented in this thesis consists of two parts: experimental and correlation. In the experimental part, the pressure-vo1ume - temperature data .for pure methane, and for one composition of methane-carbon dioxide, were collected in the temperature range of 323.713 to 398.993K using a Burnett apparatus. An isothermal procedure was used in the case of methane, and an isothermal-isochoric procedure was used in the case of the mixture. The data have been reduced to obtain virial coefficients and compressibility factors. The results are in good agreement with the literature data. The data collected together with literature data have been correlated in part 2 and generalized compressibility charts have been constructed. To construct these charts, compressibility factors of non-polar and polar substances have been correlated as a function of reduced temperature, reduced pressure, and a third parameter. The third parameter chosen is molar polarization defined at the critical temperature as: PMC = RM + 4[pi]N[mu]^2/9KTC. Using this parameter, compressibility factors of non-polar substances could be written as ZN = Z0 + RM Z^1 where Z^ and Z1 are functions of reduced temperature, and reduced pressure. The compressibility factors for polar substances were treated as departures from non-polar substances and written as Zp - ZN = Z^2 + [phi]Z^3. The values of Z^0, Z^1, Z^2 and Z^3 were generated from the literature experimental compressibility data. The experimental compressibility factors for thirty-one non-polar substances, including the six substances used to derive this correlation, have been compared with the new correlation. The overall percent absolute deviation for 6127 data points for non-polar substances, in the range of reduced temperature of 0.5 - 5.0 and reduced pressure in the range of 0.02 - 10 is 2.50 percent. In the case of polar substances ten polar substances, including the six substances used to obtain Z^2 and Z^3 values, were used for a comparison of experimental compressibility factors with the correlation. The overall percent absolute deviation for 804 data points for polar substances is 1.54 percent, in the reduced temperature range of 0.5 - 1.5 and reduced pressure range of 0.02 - 5.0. Extensive comparison have been made of the present method of predicting compressibility data with other methods.
Genetic analysis of Amanitin resistance in the Nematode Caenorhabditis Elegans
Authors:   , Bullerjahn Anne Mallonee Evett
Published: May 2024

Mutants resistant to oc-amanitin, a fungal toxin that interferes with messenger RNA production by binding to RNA polymerase II, make possible genetic analyses of RNA polymerase II function. The work reported here involves studies of amanitin resistance in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. The frequency of the amanitin resistance mutation was 3 x 10"6 following EMS mutagenesis. An allele of ama-1, an essential gene encoding the amanitin-binding subunit of RNA polymerase II, was isolated, and the gene was mapped. A recessive-lethal mutation that confers dominant resistance to amanitin defined another gene, ama-2. The ama-2 gene has been mapped to linkage group (LG) V, and the mutant phenotypes have been characterized. Resistance to various levels of amanitin has been tested for several mutant strains carrying mutations in either ama-1 or ama-2. Growth of strains carrying one or two copies of m l 18m252, the embryonic-lethal allele of ama-1, has been characterized, and the data suggest that this allele encodes a deleterious product that interferes with normal RNA polymerase II function. A fine-structure genetic map has been constructed for ama-1. Sixteen EMS-induced recessive-lethal mutations have been positioned in the gene by determining their intragenic recombination distances from m l 18, the resistance mutation. Intragenic recombination between the lethal site and the parental resistance mutation was detected by means of resistance to amanitin. Recombinants were detected at frequencies as low as 2 x 10 ^-6. The segregation of closely linked flanking markers, tine-17 and unc-5, revealed whether the lethal mutation was to the left or right of m ll8, To order the lethal mutations with respect to each other, viable heteroallelic strains were constructed using the free duplication mDpl [unc-17(el 13) dpy-13(+) ama-l(+) ]. The heteroallelic strains were sensitive to amanitin, and recombination events between the lethal mutations were specifically selected by means of the dominant amanitin resistance encoded on the recombinant chromosome. The segregation of outside markers revealed the order of the lethal mutations. By adding the distances between the extreme left and right mutations, the ama-1 gene was estimated to be 0.011 map unit long. The position of the mutations within the gene is non-random. Functional domains of the ama-1 gene indicated by the various lethal phenotypes are discussed.
Mapping nif genes of Rhodobacter capsulatus, and characterization of a mutant with a pleiotropic defect in nitrogen metabolism
Authors:   , Goldenberg Ann
Published: May 2024

Mutations affecting the ability of the photosynthetic bacterium Rhodobacter capsulatus to fix nitrogen (Nif- ) have previously been mapped into six linkage groups (I-VI) by transduction with gene transfer agent (GTA). Because this vector carries only 4600 bp of DNA, linkage can only be demonstrated for short chromosomal distances. In order to demonstrate linkage on a larger scale, the self- transmissible plasmid, pBLM2, which has chromosome mobilizing ability in R. capsulatus, was used to map these six linkage groups relative to a number of auxotrophic markers. In this way, nif genes were found to lie in three regions of the chromosome. GTA linkage groups IV and VI were found to reside in the same region, based on their common linkages to adenosine and tryptophan markers. A second region was found to contain GTA groups I and V, both of which were linked by conjugation to isoleucine/valine and leucine markers. In a third region, group III was found to be located near the structural gene for glutamine synthetase (glnA). A seventh GTA linkage group, containing mutations which cause pleiotropic defects in nitrogen metabolism, was also found to lie in the same region with group III and glnA>> Mutants in this group have functional nitrogenase and normal regulation of nif gene expression. However, they are unable to grow on N2 or on most amino acids. The only nitrogen sources found to allow photosynthetic growth of these mutants were ammonium and asparagine. One of these mutants was studied in more detail and found to be able to grow aerobically on most nitrogen sources. Studies of gene expression, using a lac gene fusion, indicated that the gene altered in this mutant may be under the control of an ntrC- like gene, and that it also may regulate its own synthesis. Information from the lac fusion also suggests that there may be two genes in group VII, both of which are required for growth on low levels of ammonia.
Milk supply response in Greater Kansas City marketing area
Authors:   , Smith J. N.
Published: May 2024

The growth of the dairy industry has been an important factor in the agricultural development of the United States. Missouri has shared in this development. The sale of dairy products has contributed nine to thirteen percent of the total income from sales of farm products since 1930. Dairy products are very important in the diet of the American people, but the demand is in elastic. Fresh milk is one of the principal items making a uniform flow throughout the year important. As population grows milk production must increase to meet per capita demands. This study has as its primary purpose that of discovering the factors which determine the quantity of milk which is now and will become available to a large consuming center such as the Greater Kansas City Marketing Area. An investigation is made to explain how these factors function in bringing forth the milk supply and further how they may be altered to keep supply in line with demand at a price that will meet the costs of representative dairymen. Specific investigations in this study examine data relating to variations in utilisation and price to picture specific relationships and to establish trends. Further study is made of the impact upon farm size, of shifts to alternative enterprises, and of the influence of production costs and prices received from other products. When consumers have an inelastic demand and there is an inelastic supply for a product the problem of balancing the quantity supplied with the quantity taken is most acute. Consumer price adjustments will not Immediately remove surplus quantities from the market and further will not bring about sudden changes in the quantities received from producers in a given market. In light of these conditions market personnel must have information as to possible changes which can be made in market conditions which will bring about a balance of supply and demand for milk. Ultimately consumers will benefit in that there will be available a dependable supply to meet their inelastic demands at a rather unifora price.

Recently Brazilian laws were created to protect medicinal plants and regulate their uses. Representatives of Myrcia (Myrtaceae) are widely distributed in Brazil and known for their pharmacological potential. However, the only work to compile information on medicinal species of the genus refers to savanna plants. Aiming to obtain a complete overview of the subject, we conducted a wide search, finding 52 publications mentioning 37 scientific names and 26 popular names. After investigating synonyms, we obtained 28 species from five geographic regions and six phytogeographic domains. Most species are arboreal, but five (M. guianensis, M. hirtiflora, M. magnoliifolia, M. palustris and M. selloi) can also have a shrubby habit, and one (M. guianensis) can also be represented by subshrubs. The most used part is the leaf. In the compilation, 15 pharmacological properties were listed, and the antioxidant property stood out the most, appearing 16 times in the table. The development of new research, focused on the efficacy of pharmacological activities is necessary, since some of the species mentioned in the consulted works do not have any type of work of this nature. In addition, awareness should be spread about the importance of its correct and responsible use as an herbal resource.
