description: Technical change at the farm level or changes in input prices often entail that the firm's supply function changes. These changes can take place in numerous ways. This paper presents a methodology that increases the consistency in supply responses across various sets of agricultural products and farm types with a market model based on a statistical response function approach. Since most farm simulation models are limited to a subset of regions and farm types, the linkage to an aggregated model requires a procedure for expanding these results to non sample regions, so that full regional coverage is achieved. This paper addresses theoretical aspects related to the consistency between micro and market level models. Next it deals with some empirical findings related to the selection of different functional forms for extrapolation. We conclude with a critical reflection on applicability of this method in addressing further needs on up-scaling of other economic as well as non-economic indicators.

description: The objective of this publication is to analyze how the variations observed at the coffee world market price level pass on the coffee retail price in Belgium. This research takes place in the framework of a coffee value chain analysis. The formation of the coffee price cycles seems to fade these last years at world market as well as retail price in Belgium levels and since the previous months, these prices rise strongly due to the speculators interest for the commodities market. We observe that when the world coffee price diminishes, this reduction passes on the retail coffee price in Belgium less rapidly than for an increase and moreover, the correlation is stronger when the world price grows than during the deceasing periods. We also notice that variability of the world coffee price from 1998 to 2007, which stretches to reduce itself these latter years, is clearly superior to the Belgian coffee retail price one.

description: Errors in traceability can significantly impact the moral hazard associated with producing safe food. The effect of moral hazard depends on the proportion of unsafe food costs that can be allocated to the responsible producer, which depends on the efficiency of the traceability system. In this paper, we develop a model that identifies the minimum level of traceability needed to mitigate moral hazard and motivate suppliers to produce safe food. Regulators and consumer can use the results of this research to design regulations and contracts that mitigate moral hazard and motivate producers to deliver safe food.

description: Excerpts from the report: During the last 7 years the output of frozen foods has more than tripled. The limit of this expansion has not yet been reached. Farmers, processors, and distributors are interested in gaging the probable trend of the market for frozen foods and the effect which the increased use of frozen items may have upon sales of canned and fresh foods. The study reported here was undertaken to give a basis for judging the potential market for some of the major frozen foods. It is based upon purchases by urban families of 12 frozen and 6 canned items. The study shows the possibilities for a substantial further increase in sales of the items studied.

description: Since 2006, several varieties of transgenic Bt-maize are approved for commercial cultivation in Germany. The German regulatory framework for growing these crops comprises ex-ante regulations as well as ex-post liability rules to protect conventional and organic farming from possible negative side effects of transgenic plants and to ensure co-existence. Public regulation is also suspected to impose additional costs to those farmers who intend to plant Bt-maize. We address the question how Bt-maize growing farmers perceive the additional costs of regulation and whether coordination or cooperation takes place in order to diminish these costs. In 2006, we carried out a case study in the Oderbruch region (Brandenburg, Germany) comprising eight Bt-maize growing farmers and six adjacent neighbours. The predominantly large farms chose intrafarm coordination to manage the construction of buffer zones within their own fields and to avoid the planting of Bt-maize close to their neighbours. Inter-farm coordination or cooperation with adjacent farmers was not regarded necessary to achieve co-existence.
The electromagnetic model of Gamma Ray Bursts
Creators: name: Lyutikov, Maxim
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I describe electromagnetic model of gamma ray bursts and contrast its main properties and predictions with hydrodynamic fireball model and its magnetohydrodynamical extension. The electromagnetic model assumes that rotational energy of a relativistic, stellar-mass central source (black-hole--accretion disk system or fast rotating neutron star) is converted into magnetic energy through unipolar dynamo mechanism, propagated to large distances in a form of relativistic, subsonic, Poynting flux-dominated wind and is dissipated directly into emitting particles through current-driven instabilities. Thus, there is no conversion back and forth between internal and bulk energies as in the case of fireball model. Collimating effects of magnetic hoop stresses lead to strongly non-spherical expansion and formation of jets. Long and short GRBs may develop in a qualitatively similar way, except that in case of long bursts ejecta expansion has a relatively short, non-relativistic, strongly dissipative stage inside the star. Electromagnetic and fireball models (as well as strongly and weakly magnetized fireballs) lead to different early afterglow dynamics, before deceleration time. Finally, I discuss the models in view of latest observational data in the Swift era.

description: Following the two rounds of land reform in Ukraine since independence, household plot farmers emerged as the major suppliers to agricultural production. But they form a very heterogeneous group. Not all of them are equally successful, economically, and integrated to markets. In general, a varying adoption of production factors is identified as being of influence. In this paper, we argue that social capital is an additional factor contributing to higher agricultural incomes. We tested our thesis using primary evidence from a survey in Ukraine among 255 household plot farmers in 2006. Based on 24 social capital indicators we deduced four separate index variables linking the social capital dimension of form, i.e. structural and cognitive, with the social capital dimension of relationship, i.e. bonding and bridging. By adopting multiple regression analysis we show that social capital of its bridging structural type is indeed a significant factor determining the level of agricultural income. However, the findings also underline the multidimensional side of social capital. Both bonding and cognitive social capital have no impact on agricultural income. We conclude that social capital can be identified as a significant production factor but its underlying indicators do not seem to point to the same direction and have to be analysed in their specific contexts.
International price transmission on soft wheat markets: which role for policy variables in cointegration relationships?

description: This paper aims at considering policy regimes while studying international price transmission mechanisms. The focus is on the soft wheat market between the United States and the European Union in the years 1978-2003. EU domestic and border policies are expected to play a strong role; a theoretical framework is developed in which the basic idea is that the intervention price acts as a threshold above which the EU and the US price can interact. A composite variable, equal to the maximum between the intervention and the US price, is then introduced in a cointegration model and its relation with the EU price is studied. In addition to this, other models are estimated, in which the adjustment coefficients and the parameters of the cointegrating vector are allowed to vary according to the policy regime in place. All models yield consistent results. The EU price reaction to the long run relations suggests that the role of the US price can be understood only if policy regimes are adequately accounted for. To which extent the US price adjusts to disequilibria requires further research.

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The present work contains light curve, spectroscopic and asteroseismic analyses for KIC 04851217 and KIC 10686876. These systems are detached eclipsing binaries hosting a pulsating component of delta Scuti type and have been observed with the unprecedented accuracy of the Kepler space telescope. Using ground based spectroscopic observations, the spectral types of the primary components of the systems were estimated as A6V and A5V for KIC 04851217 and KIC 10686876, respectively, with an uncertainty of one subclass. The present spectral classification together with literature radial velocities curves were used to model the light curves of the systems and, therefore, to calculate the absolute parameters of their components with higher certainty. The photometric data were analysed using standard eclipsing binary modeling techniques, while their residuals were further analysed using Fourier transformation techniques in order to extract the pulsation frequencies of their host delta Scuti stars. The oscillation modes of the independent frequencies were identified using theoretical models of delta Scuti stars. The distances of the systems were calculated using the relation between the luminosity and the pulsation period for delta Scuti stars. The physical and the oscillation properties of the pulsating components of these systems are discussed and compared with others of the same type. Moreover, using all the currently known cases of delta Scuti stars in detached binaries, updated correlations between orbital and dominant pulsation periods and between log g and pulsation periods were derived. It was found that the proximity of the companion plays significant role to the evolution of the pulsational frequencies.

Theoretical study of the $Ω(2012)$ state in the $Ω_c^0 \to π^+ Ω(2012)^- \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$ and $π^+ (\bar{K}Ξπ)^-$ decays

description: We report on a theoretical study of the newly observed $Ω(2012)$ resonance in the nonleptonic weak decays of $Ω_c^0 \to π^+ \bar{K}Ξ^*(1530) (ηΩ) \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$ and $π^+ (\bar{K}Ξπ)^-$ via final-state interactions of the $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ pairs. The weak interaction part is assumed to be dominated by the charm quark decay process: $c(ss) \to (s + u + \bar{d})(ss)$, while the hadronization part takes place between the $sss$ cluster from the weak decay and a quark-antiquark pair with the quantum numbers $J^{PC} = 0^{++}$ of the vacuum, produces a pair of $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$. Accordingly, the final $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ states are in pure isospin $I= 0$ combinations, and the $Ω_c^0 \to π^+ \bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)(ηΩ) \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$ decay is an ideal process to study the $Ω(2012)$ resonance. With the final-state interaction described in the chiral unitary approach, up to an arbitrary normalization, the invariant mass distributions of the final state are calculated, assuming that the $Ω(2012)$ resonance with spin-parity $J^P = 3/2^-$ is a dynamically generated state from the coupled channels interactions of the $\bar{K}Ξ^*(1530)$ and $ηΩ$ in $s$-wave and $\bar{K}Ξ$ in $d$-wave. We also calculate the ratio, $R^{\bar{K}Ξπ}_{\bar{K}Ξ} = {\rm Br}[Ω_c^0 \to π^+ Ω(2012)^- \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξπ)^-] / {\rm Br}[Ω_c^0 \to π^+ Ω(2012)^- \to π^+ (\bar{K}Ξ)^-$]. The proposed mechanism can provide valuable information on the nature of the $Ω(2012)$ and can in principle be tested by future experiments.

The proof is based on tiling dynamical systems and the connection between the diffraction and dynamical spectra.

description: Measures for rural development should be adapted to the specific regional conditions and national programs should allow for different regional priorities. However, decision-making for policy measures often takes place under special conditions with many concerned actors, unstructured decision problems and time pressure. These conditions, decision-makers in administrations and institutions are faced with, make the formation of policy-measures for rural development a complex matter. Thus, there is the question arising how decision-makers can be supported in setting priorities for allocating budgets for policy measures among regions. Recently, multi criteria decision-making approaches are discussed to tackle these kinds of decision problems. We show exemplarily for the Polish program of rural development, how decision-making could be supported using a multi-objective programming approach. Different preferences of actors can be considered explicitly by visualizing “trade-offs” and an interactive use of the approach. For example, a political "equity" objective is implemented as a constraint in the programming approach, restricting the budget differences between regions to a defined level. By a parameterization of the bound for budget differences, the "trade-off" between three objectives is displayed and evaluated. Using the exemplary programming approach, it is shown that the objective values of the two main objectives of the PROW decline, when the budget differences between regions are restricted for pursuing a political "equity" objective.

description: Excerpts from the report: There are a number of patterns or arrangements in which bales of cotton can be stored. In general, these storage arrangements differ with respect to the accessibility of given random bales, and therefore with respect to the effort, time, and cost involved in breaking such bales out of storage. Storage is a principal service provided by cotton compresses and warehouses. The single, physical operation of placing bales in a block or stack--after delivery to the storage point--is called storing, as distinguished from other handling operations. Bales are removed from storage through an operation known as breaking out. This operation consists of removing bales from blocks or stacks and setting them in a temporary block in the main aisle for later pick-up by transporting equipment. Transporting these bales from the storage area to the loading platform, compress area, or to any other part of the warehouse is regarded as a separate operation.

description: Groundwater in Spain, as in other arid or semiarid countries worldwide, has been intensely used for the expansion of irrigated agriculture. This booming development has induced a remarkable socioeconomic development in many rural areas but has produced far-reaching environmental problems. In the Spanish Western La Mancha Aquifer, the excessive, and sometimes illegal, water abstraction for irrigation agriculture has resulted in the Aquifer’s overexploitation and has been responsible of the degradation of the associated wetlands “Tablas de Daimiel”, an internationally reputed, Ramsarnominated aquatic ecosystem. To undertake this analysis, a mathematical programming model has been developed to simulate farmers’ behaviour and their responses to different water policy scenarios. Specifically, the policy simulations selected are: alternative water pricing schemes (uniform volumetric and block-rate water tariffs), water use quota systems and water rights market. Results show that controlling illegal water mining is a necessary condition but it is not sufficient to recover the aquifer. Consequently, other measures will be necessary for an effective water management in this area. Among these, the block-rate water pricing scheme seems the most cost-effective system to reach the goal of aquifer sustainability but will entail important income losses in several farms. Therefore, we cannot conclude that a unique water conservation policy instrument will be the best overall solution for all types of holdings that will respond to efficiency as well as to equity considerations. It seems reasonable to make a combination of the tools proposed, even including additional measures that promote an environmental protection and develop sustainable agricultural systems.

description: Introduction

Mismating, sometimes known as termination of pregnancy, is an unintentional mating (misalliance) in which the health of the dam may be seriously jeopardized throughout pregnancy and parturition, or in which the animal's owners do not wish the pregnancy to proceed. Dogs go through an approximately nine-day oestrus, followed by a lengthy mating period that lasts for approximately one week, during which time conception can occur (Tsutsui T, 1989). As a result, there is a high chance of conception when misalliance happens.

description: The XBootes Survey is a 5-ks Chandra survey of the Bootes Field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This survey is unique in that it is the largest (9.3 deg^2), contiguous region imaged in X-ray with complementary deep optical and near-IR observations. We present a catalog of the optical counterparts to the 3,213 X-ray point sources detected in the XBootes survey. Using a Bayesian identification scheme, we successfully identified optical counterparts for 98% of the X-ray point sources. The optical colors suggest that the optically detected galaxies are a combination of z<1 massive early-type galaxies and bluer star-forming galaxies whose optical AGN emission is faint or obscured, whereas the majority of the optically detected point sources are likely quasars over a large redshift range. Our large area, X-ray bright, optically deep survey enables us to select a large sub-sample of sources (773) with high X-ray to optical flux ratios (f_x/f_o>10). These objects are likely high redshift and/or dust obscured AGN. These sources have generally harder X-ray spectra than sources with 0.1

Shipments of 50 test cars loaded cross-wise and 52 check cars loaded according to the conventional lengthwise method, were studied during the melon shipping season. Shipping tests of 8 additional experimental loads showed that in the stem-end-to- stem-end arrangement of melons in lengthwise loads there were 22 percent fewer damaged melons than in the conventional stem-end-to-blossom-end arrangement.

Except for origin, consumer behavior with respect to the above is affected by income, of respondent, college education, and occupation. The pattern of significant variables changed by commodity. Tomatoes, followed by peaches, had the greatest local market potential. Local promotion of other products may be more difficult. Results suggested consumers have no strong preferences for or against locally grown fresh produce. The prices of locally grown commodities in Knoxville should be less than or equal to those of comparable quality non-Tennessee commodities.

description: Through billions of years of evolution, microorganisms mastered unique swimming behaviors to thrive in complex fluid environments. Limitations in nanofabrication have thus far hindered the ability to design and program synthetic swimmers with the same abilities. Here we encode multi-behavioral responses in artificial swimmers such as microscopic, self-propelled tori using nanoscale 3D printing. We show experimentally and theoretically that the tori continuously transition between two primary swimming modes in response to a magnetic field. The tori also manipulate and transport other artificial swimmers, bimetallic nanorods, as well as passive colloidal particles. In the first behavioral mode, the tori accumulate and transport nanorods; in the second mode, nanorods align along the tori's self-generated streamlines. Our results indicate that such shape-programmed microswimmers have the potential to manipulate biological active matter, e.g. bacteria or cells.

description: This paper discusses the role of agricultural economics research within the land-grant university system. Fundamental differences between research in the biological sciences and the social sciences are delineated. Implications of these differences for experiment station research programs are discussed. Recommendations are made which have potential for enhancing the role of agricultural economics within colleges of agriculture.

description: We report results of the first muon-spin rotation measurements performed on the low carrier density ferromagnet EuB$_6$. The ferromagnetic state is reached via two magnetic transitions at $T_{\rm m}=16.5$ K and $T_{\rm c}=12.6$ K. Two distinct components are resolved in the muon data, one oscillatory and one non-oscillatory, which arise from different types of magnetic environment, and we have followed the temperature dependence of these components in detail. These results provide evidence for magnetic phase separation and can be interpreted in terms of the gradual coalescing of magnetic polarons.

description: Transport properties of granular systems are governed by Coulomb blockade effects caused by the discreteness of the electron charge. We show that, in the limit of vanishing mean level spacing on the grains, the low-temperature behavior of 1d and 2d arrays is insulating at any inter-grain coupling (characterized by a dimensionless conductance g.) In 2d and g>>1, there is a sharp Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless crossover to the conducting phase at a certain temperature, T_{BKT}. These results are obtained by applying an instanton analysis to map the conventional `phase' description of granular arrays onto the dual `charge' representation.

description: Financial conditions existing in agriculture are placing severe pressure on lenders as well as borrowers. Data from both good and foreclosed Federal Land Bank loans were analyzed to determine the most important characteristics leading to the failure of loans. The analysis was completed by comparing means through t-tests and the development of a discriminant model. The ratio of total debt service to total income, the debt to asset ratio, the ratio of total loan amount to appraised value, and the ratio of acres in security to acres owned were determined to be the most important discriminating variables.

description: We present the status of the joint search for gravitational waves from inspiraling neutron star binaries in the LIGO Science Run 2 and TAMA300 Data Taking Run 8 data, which was taken from February 14 to April 14, 2003, by the LIGO and TAMA collaborations. In this paper we discuss what has been learned from an analysis of a subset of the data sample reserved as a ``playground''. We determine the coincidence conditions for parameters such as the coalescence time and chirp mass by injecting simulated Galactic binary neutron star signals into the data stream. We select coincidence conditions so as to maximize our efficiency of detecting simulated signals. We obtain an efficiency for our coincident search of 78 %, and show that we are missing primarily very distant signals for TAMA300. We perform a time slide analysis to estimate the background due to accidental coincidence of noise triggers. We find that the background triggers have a very different character from the triggers of simulated signals.

Dust Dynamics, Surface Brightness Profiles, and Thermal Spectra of Debris Disks: The Case of AU Mic

description: AU Microscopii is a 12 Myr old M dwarf that harbors an optically thin, edge-on disk of dust. The scattered light surface brightness falls with projected distance b from the star as b^-a; within b = 43 AU, a = 1-2, while outside 43 AU, a = 4-5. We devise a theory to explain this profile. At a stellocentric distance r = r_BR = 43 AU, we posit a ring of parent bodies on circular orbits: the "birth ring," wherein micron-sized grains are born from the collisional attrition of parent bodies. The "inner disk" at r < r_BR contains grains that migrate inward by corpuscular and Poynting-Robertson (CPR) drag. The "outer disk" at r > r_BR comprises grains just large enough to remain bound to the star, on orbits rendered highly eccentric by stellar wind and radiation pressure. How the vertical optical depth tau scales with r depends on the fraction of grains that migrate inward by CPR drag without suffering a collision. If this fraction is large, the inner disk and birth ring share the same optical depth, and tau scales as r^-5/2 in the outer disk. By contrast, under collision-dominated conditions, the inner disk is empty, and tau scales as r^-3/2 outside. These scaling relations, which we derive analytically and confirm numerically, are robust against uncertainties in the grain size distribution. By simultaneously modeling the surface brightness and thermal spectrum, we break model degeneracies to establish that the AU Mic system is collision-dominated, and that its narrow birth ring contains a lunar mass of decimeter-sized bodies. The inner disk is devoid of micron-sized grains; the surface brightness at b < 43 AU arises from light forward scattered by the birth ring. Inside b = 43 AU, the disk's V-H color should not vary with b; outside, the disk must become bluer as ever smaller grains are probed.

description: This study explores the potential of routine preharvest cross-hedging of rough rice using wheat futures contract prices. A numerical simulation approach combined with risk efficiency analysis evaluates a wide rage of cross-hedging alternatives. Results establish that farm-level cross-hedging can be considered a viable marketing alternative.
The targum (1953:Sept. 17 - 1953:Sept. 29)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1953

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.
A nearly closed ballistic billiard with random boundary transmission

description: A variety of mesoscopic systems can be represented as a billiard with a random coupling to the exterior at the boundary. Examples include quantum dots with multiple leads, quantum corrals with different kinds of atoms forming the boundary, and optical cavities with random surface refractive index. The specific example we study is a circular (integrable) billiard with no internal impurities weakly coupled to the exterior by a large number of leads with one channel open in each lead. We construct a supersymmetric nonlinear $σ$-model by averaging over the random coupling strengths between bound states and channels. The resulting theory can be used to evaluate the statistical properties of any physically measurable quantity in a billiard. As an illustration, we present results for the local density of states.

description: Cities are becoming very congested. There is a need to reduce the number of private cars on the roads, by maximising the potential for local public transport. With the increasing awareness of transport that is sustainable in the sense of environmental impact, but also climate and social, there is the need to create engagement into public transportation. Gamification, which is the use of game elements in non-game contexts, has proven to deliver very positive results, by turning regular activities into engaging ones, which are fun to perform. We have designed a mobile application, that interacts with short-range wireless communication technologies, inviting people to use public transport. To evaluate the solution, we have created a questionnaire based on the System Usability Scale, but also using usability testing with specific tasks.
