subject: willingness to pay

description: Bread producers are taking advantage of healthy feeding habits by developing new "low carbohydrate" products to entice customers. These low carbohydrate breads are generally more expensive than conventional types. This study tests the hypothesis that consumers are willing to pay higher premium for "low carbohydrate" breads at various locations and markets. We use retail data in a hedonic pricing framework to estimate the premium paid for the "low carbohydrate" attribute of bread. Results show that the implicit price of the "low carbohydrate" attribute of bread ranges from about 0.06¢ to 1.1¢ per gram, reflecting the amount consumers are willing to pay above the price of conventional bread.

description: Our study used AFT survey data to analyze the preferences of registered voters with regard to the non-market (mulitifunctional) benefits that agriculture produces jointly with market commodities. Descriptive data analysis demonstrates that the US public considers the multifunctionality of agriculture as an important social issue. Regression models show that geographic regions can be very important in determining people's behavior with respect to the multifunctional benefits of agriculture. Voters living in Central Plains, Mountain, or West were generally less appreciative of the multifunctional benefits of agriculture when compared to those in Northeast region. However, if our study restricts the analysis to those who supported the multifunctionality concept, we have a dramatically different result: i.e., voters in the agriculturally abundant regions are likely to pay a significantly higher amount of additional taxes to support farmers for their supply of various multifunctional benefits to our society. This result suggests that it is important to take into account geographic regions when valuing the multifunctionality of agriculture and that the public's preferences can be quite heterogeneous within a particular geographic region.

description: Iron oxide nanoparticles have tremendous scientific and technological potential in a broad range of technologies, from energy applications to biomedicine. To improve their performance, single-crystalline and defect-free nanoparticles have thus far been aspired. However, in several recent studies defect-rich nanoparticles outperform their defect-free counterparts in magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic particle imaging. Here, an overview on the state-of-the-art of design and characterization of defects and resulting spin disorder in magnetic nanoparticles is presented with a focus on iron oxide nanoparticles. The beneficial impact of defects and disorder on intracellular magnetic hyperthermia performance of magnetic nanoparticles for drug delivery and cancer therapy is emphasized. Defect-engineering in iron oxide nanoparticles emerges to become an alternative approach to tailor their magnetic properties for biomedicine, as it is already common practice in established systems such as semiconductors and emerging fields including perovskite solar cells. Finally, perspectives and thoughts are given on how to deliberately induce defects in iron oxide nanoparticles and their potential implications for magnetic tracers to monitor cell therapy and immunotherapy by magnetic particle imaging.

description: This article presents a procedure for estimating averting expenditures through the analyses of two data sources: (1) packaged water sales from 18 national supermarket chain stores in the Columbus, Ohio Metropolitan Area (COMA); and (2) treatment expenditures for both high and low service water from a local drinking water treatment facility owned and operated by the Columbus, Ohio municipality. The averting behavior results from a nitrogen advisory for drinking water for 1/3 of the COMA. The study concentrates on estimating these averting expenditures as representative of averting behavior for a market and non-market good trade-off. This article concentrates on the economic consequences of the nitrogen pollution problem as it affects households through the water they drink. It measures the private and public averting for the remedies available to address this problem. Major findings are that consumers make significant expenditures on packaged water both inside and outside the nitrogen advisory area and the municipality also makes considerable averting expenditures. The results represent an averting behavior effect emanating through an area having experienced recent and historic nitrogen advisory events with significant implications for government and industrial strategies for identification and prevention of nitrogen contamination incidents.

description: We present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac. The data extend from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual in several respects. Prior to B-band maximum, the spectra resemble those of SN 1999aa, a slowly declining event, but possess stronger SiII and CaII signatures (more characteristic of a spectroscopically normal SN). Spectra after B-band maximum appear more normal. The expansion velocities inferred from the Iron lines appear to be lower than average; whereas, the expansion velocity inferred from Calcium H and K are higher than average. The expansion velocities inferred from SiII are among the slowest ever observed, though SN 1999ac is not particularly dim. The analysis of the parameters v_10, R(SiII), dv(SiII)/dt, and d_m15 further underlines the unique characteristics of SN 1999ac. We find convincing evidence of CII 6580 in the day -15 spectrum with ejection velocity v > 16,000 km/s, but this signature disappears by day -9. This rapid evolution at early times highlights the importance of extremely early-time spectroscopy.

description: A frequently encountered problem in import demand estimation is how to account for competition between imports and domestic production. Traditionally, use of the Armington model has been a way to handle this problem. This is a disaggregate model which distinguishes commodities by country of origin with import demand determined in a separable two-step procedure. The model appears frequently in analysis of international agricultural markets. However, the Armington model relies on a set of weak separability assumptions, which several authors have shown to be highly questionable. In this paper, a new aggregation theorem, the Generalized Composite Commodity Theorem (GCCT), is applied to test whether imports can be treated as a separate group. An advantage with the GCCT is that only import data is required to conduct the test. The application is to the imports of swordfish to the U.S. with implications for U.S. and international swordfish management policies.

description: Using 116.1 fb^-1 of data collected by the BABAR detector, we present an analysis of Xic0 production in B decays and from the ccbar continuum, with the Xic0 decaying into Omega- K+ and Xi- pi+ final states. We measure the ratio of branching fractions B(Xic0 -> Omega- K+)/B(Xic0 -> Xi- pi+) to be 0.294 +- 0.018 +- 0.016, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. The Xic0 momentum spectrum is measured on and 40 MeV below the Upsilon(4S) resonance. From these spectra the branching fraction product B(B -> Xic0 X) x B(Xic0 -> Xi- pi+) is measured to be (2.11 +- 0.19 +- 0.25) x 10^-4 and the cross-section product sigma(e+ e- -> Xic0 X) x B(Xic0 -> Xi- pi+) from the continuum is measured to be (388 +- 39 +- 41) fb at a center-of-mass energy of 10.58 GeV.

description: Electric-magnetic duality or S-duality, extending the symmetry of Maxwell's equations by including the symmetry between Noether electric charges and topological magnetic monopoles, is one of the most fundamental concepts of modern physics. In two-dimensional systems harboring Cooper pairs, S-duality manifests in the emergence of superinsulation, a state dual to superconductivity, which exhibits an infinite resistance at finite temperatures. The mechanism behind this infinite resistance is the linear charge confinement by a magnetic monopole plasma. This plasma constricts electric field lines connecting the charge-anti-charge pairs into electric strings, in analogy to quarks within hadrons. Yet the origin of the monopole plasma remains an open question. Here we consider a two-dimensional Josephson junction array (JJA) and reveal that the magnetic monopole plasma arises as quantum instantons, thus establishing the underlying mechanism of superinsulation as two-dimensional quantum tunneling events. We calculate the string tension and the dimension of an electric pion determining the minimal size of a system capable of hosting superinsulation. Our findings pave the way for study of fundamental S-duality in desktop experiments on JJA and superconducting films.

description: This paper advances a behavioral perspective on the existence of futures markets. The proposed approach extends and complements the existing framework by focusing on the interorganizational relationships between buyers and sellers. We show how decision-makers' risk attitudes and risk preferences determine contract preferences, and how potential conflicts in these contract preferences may hamper subsequent business relationships between parties. Futures markets can therefore be viewed as third-party services with the ability to solve potential conflicts in decision-makers' contract preferences. Our approach explains why we observe marketing channel structures despite the different contract preferences of the parties involved. The expansion of theory in this direction is particularly useful in understanding how behavioral elements such as risk attitudes and risk perceptions, along with marketing institutions like futures markets, shape interorganizational relationships.

description: This research focuses on the estimation of labour supply equations for Dutch dairy farmers that are suitable for policy simulations. Data availability leads to the fact that we can not estimate structural labour supply equations. We show how to derive reduced form equations suitable for policy simulations. In this research we use the panel data sample selection estimation approach of Kyriazidou (1997) and Wooldridge (1995) to estimate the off-farm labour supply equation. The two lead to different estimation results and different simulation results based on these.
Computational studies of the flow around rounded and ducted tip hydrofoils
Creators: name: Ingvarsdottir, Hildur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: All lifting surfaces that terminate in a moving fluid create tip vortices. Tip vortices on marine propellers reduce the efficiency of the blades and can cause cavitation. Cavitation is an undesirable effect since it can cause pitting and erosion of the propeller and surrounding equipment and is a source of vibration and noise. Several tip devices have been proposed to suppress the tip vortex roll-up and reduce the strength of the tip vortices. One of those is a flow-through duct installed at the tip of a propeller blade. In this research the flow over ducted and rounded tip hydrofoils was studied using the finite-volume flow solver CFD-ACE(U) and a k-e turbulence model. First the flow over two rounded tip hydrofoils, which were selected based on experimental data available, was studied with validation in mind. It was shown that away from the tip of the hydrofoil the sectional lift was predicted within 2% of experimental data whereas close to the tip the difference in lift reached up to 12%. The spanwise location of the vortex core was shown to be well predicted. This study was followed by studying the flow over a ducted tip hydrofoil. For comparative purposes a rounded tip hydrofoil of the same cross-section and aspect ratio run under the same flow conditions was studied. A good agreement in flow pattern was achieved between the computational results and available experimental data. A good agreement was also achieved between the maximum axial and tangential velocity immediately downstream of the hydrofoil. The computations showed that the ducted tip hydrofoil sheds less bound circulation over the majority of the wing span than does the rounded tip hydrofoil. The tip vortex from the ducted tip hydrofoil is shed in the shape of a duct instead of a concentrated circular vortex from the rounded tip hydrofoil.

description: We determine the spectral photon yield from a hot dense plasma irradiated by VUV-FEL light in a Thomson scattering experiment. The Thomson signal is compared to the emission background mainly caused by bremsstrahlung photons. We determine experimental conditions that allow for a signal-to-background ratio larger than unity. By derivation of the Thomson and the bremsstrahlung spectrum from linear response theory we present a consistent quantum statistical approach to both processes. This allows for a systematic treatment of medium and quantum effects such as dynamical screening and strong collisions. Results are presented for the threshold FEL-intensity as a function of density and temperature. We show that the account for quantum effects leads to larger thresholds as compared to previous work.

description: We focus on the impact of failing to control for differences in land types defined along toposequence on estimates of farm technical efficiency for small-scale rice farms in eastern India. In contrast with the existing literature, we find that those farms may be considerably more technically efficient than they appear from more aggregated analysis without such control. Farms planted with modern rice varieties are technically efficient. Furthermore, farms planted with traditional rice varieties operate close to the production frontier on less productive lands (upland and mid-upland), but significant technical inefficiency exists on more productive lands (medium land and lowland).
New data on the systematics and interrelationships of sawfishes (Elasmobranchii, Batoidea, Pristiformes)

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: New characters based on the arrangement and morphology of dermal denticles show that sawfishes can be divided into two distinctive groups. The first group, comprising the knifetooth sawfish Anoxypristis cuspidata, is characterized by tricuspid denticles variably located on both dorsal and ventral parts of the body. The second group is represented by species of the genus Pristis, showing an uniform and homogenous dermal covering of monocuspidate denticles on both dorsal and ventral sides of the body and within the buccopharyngeal cavity. Pristis is further divided into two subgroups: the first comprises species with denticles lacking any keels and furrows (the smalltooth sawfish Pristis pectinata, the green sawfish Pristis zijsron and the dwarf sawfish Pristis clavata); the second comprises species with denticles presenting keels and furrows well differentiated on their anterior part (the common sawfish Pristis pristis, the largetooth sawfish Pristis perotteti and the greattooth sawfish Pristis microdon). This investigation of the dermal covering provides results which agree with studies that separate the same two species groups of Pristis on the basis of other morphological data.

Our results confirm that the nonlinear index of refraction of the liquid samples in this regime exceeds the near-infrared optical nonlinear index by six orders of magnitude. In the case of liquid water and water vapor at atmospheric pressure, we find a nonlinear index of 7.8x10^-10 cm^2/W and 6x10^-11 cm^2/W respectively, which are both much larger than expected.

Measurements of heat capacity and heat transfer coefficient of water-oxygen mixtures at near critical conditions
Creators: name: Boskovic, Sanja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The constant-pressure heat capacity, Cp, and local forced convection heat transfer coefficient, h, for water-oxygen mixtures flowing inside horizontal smooth tubes were obtained experimentally. Data were obtained for pressures of 24 to 26 MPa; flow rates 0.636 to 1.27 l/min, average heat fluxes 34 to 160 kW/m², mass velocities 351 to 701 kg/m²s and temperatures from 330 to 430 °C. Oxygen flow was 2 to 8 weight percentage of the total mixture flow. For a given flow and heat supplied to the mixture, Cp is determined from the bulk temperature in a heated tube. The heat transfer coefficient, h is determined from the difference in bulk and wall temperatures. The temperature at which the maximum heat capacity occurs (Tpc) is lower for water-oxygen mixtures than for pure water. Another effect of oxygen addition is a reduction in magnitude of the maximum Cp and h. The enhancement near the critical point appears to be less at high heat flux.

description: This research attempts to investigate the impacts of monetary variables (such as money supply and interest rates) on food prices in China using a vector error correction (VEC) model approach. Evidence indicates that monetary variables and the food price index (FPI) have a long-run equilibrium relationship in China. Furthermore, the direction of Granger-causality moves from the money supply to the FPI and then to interest rates, rather than the reverse. Monetary impacts on food prices in China mainly stem from the money supply rather than interest rates.

description: High increases in media advertising costs have caused a shift away from generic advertising to other promotional activities. A relatively new retail-level promotional activity is the Dairy Case Management Program aimed at improving the management, appearance, and operation of the dairy case. An evaluation of the Northwestern Hudson Valley Market program demonstrated increases in sales volume for both supermarkets/mass merchants and convenience/drug stores. However, the value of volume gains compared with program costs indicates a cost recovery time of over two years. Therefore, program success depends on the implementation of a long-run strategy with continual evaluation.
Impossibility of perfect quantum sealing of classical information

description: Sealing information means making it publicly available, but with the possibility of knowing if it has been read. Commenting on [1], we will show that perfect quantum sealing is not possible for perfectly retrievable information, due to the possibility of performing a perfect measurement without disturbance, even on unknown states. The measurement is a collective one, and this makes the protocol of quantum sealing very interesting as the only example of the power of collective measurements in breaking security.

description: We predict that ultralong-range Rydberg bi-molecules form in collisions between polar molecules in cold and ultracold settings. The collision of $Λ$-doublet nitric oxide (NO) with long-lived Rydberg NO($nf$, $ng$) molecules forms ultralong-range Rydberg bi-molecules with GHz energies and kilo-Debye permanent electric dipole moments. The Hamiltonian includes both the anisotropic charge-molecular dipole interaction and the electron-NO scattering. The rotational constant for the Rydberg bi-molecules is in the MHz range, allowing for microwave spectroscopy of rotational transitions in Rydberg bi-molecules. Considerable orientation of NO dipole can be achieved. The Rydberg molecules described here hold promise for studies of a special class of long-range bi-molecular interactions.

description: The control of polarization, an essential property of light, is of wide scientific and technological interest. Polarizer is an indispensable optical element for direct polarization generations. Except common linear and circular polarizations, however, arbitrary polarization generation heavily resorts to bulky optical components by cascading linear polarizers and waveplates. Here, we present a general strategy for designing all-in-one full Poincaré sphere polarizers based on perfect arbitrary polarization conversion dichroism, and realize it in a monolayer all-dielectric metasurface. It allows preferential transmission and conversion of one polarization state locating at an arbitrary position of the Poincaré sphere to its handedness-flipped state, while completely blocking its orthogonal state. In contrast to previous work with limited flexibility to only linear or circular polarizations, our method manifests perfect dichroism close to 100% in theory and exceeding 90% in experiments for arbitrary polarization states. Leveraging this tantalizing dichroism, our demonstration of monolithic full Poincaré sphere polarization generators directly from unpolarized light can enormously extend the scope of meta-optics and dramatically push the state-of-the-art nanophotonic devices.

description: Dedicated machines designed for specific computational algorithms can outperform conventional computers by several orders of magnitude. In this note we describe {\it Ianus}, a new generation FPGA based machine and its basic features: hardware integration and wide reprogrammability. Our goal is to build a machine that can fully exploit the performance potential of new generation FPGA devices. We also plan a software platform which simplifies its programming, in order to extend its intended range of application to a wide class of interesting and computationally demanding problems. The decision to develop a dedicated processor is a complex one, involving careful assessment of its performance lead, during its expected lifetime, over traditional computers, taking into account their performance increase, as predicted by Moore's law. We discuss this point in detail.

description: In this paper we consider the role of variety attributes in an agricultural household model of variety planting decisions. In an application to banana production in Uganda we derive a system of derived demands for a set of available banana varieties. Our empirical model uses a hudle/count data framework to examine simaltaneously the likelihood a household has experience with a given variety, and the amount of the variety that is planted. We find that production, consumption, and pest resistance attributes significantly influence planting decisions. These findings have implications for emerging crop biotechnologies.

Both conventional and unconventional pairing symmetries for an arbitrary band structure in the clean limit are considered. The importance of the inter-band interference effects is emphasized. The calculations in the conventional case with two isotropic gaps are performed using a two-band generalization of Eliashberg theory.

Quantum key distribution over quantum repeaters with encoding: Using Error Detection as an Effective Post-Selection Tool

description: We propose a post-selection technique, based on quantum error detection, for quantum key distribution (QKD) systems that run over quantum repeaters with encoding. In such repeaters, quantum error correction techniques are used for entanglement distillation. By developing an analytical approach to study such quantum repeaters, we show that, in the context of QKD, it is often more efficient to use the error detection, rather than the error correction, capability of the underlying code to sift out cases where an error has been detected. We implement our technique for three-qubit repetition codes by modelling different sources of error in crucial components of the system. We then investigate in detail the impact of such imperfections on the secret key generation rate of the QKD system, and how one can use the information obtained during entanglement swapping and decoding stages to maximize the rate. For benchmarking purposes, we specify the maximum allowed error rates in different components of the setup below which positive key rates can be obtained.

description: In this paper we study the quantization of the nonlinear oscillator introduced by Mathews and Lakshmanan. This system with position-dependent mass allows a natural quantization procedure and is shown to display shape invariance. Its energy spectrum is found by factorization. The linear harmonic oscillator appears as the $λ\to 0$ limit of this nonlinear oscillator, whose energy spectrum and eigenfunctions are compared to the linear ones.

description: This paper considers estimation and inference for the binary response model in the case where endogenous variables are included as arguments of the unknown link function. Semiparametric estimators are proposed that avoid the parametric assumptions underlying the likelihood approach as well as the loss of precision when using nonparametric estimation. Suggestions are made for how the utility maximization decision model can be altered to permit attributes to vary across alternatives.

description: This paper contrasts nonparametric data envelopment analysis (DEA) and free disposal hull (FDH) representations of dairy technology to determine whether factor indivisibilities and firm-specific location components affect economic performance. Location and capital structure variables, in addition to technology and firm structure, are used in a second-stage model to explain firm inefficiency using a Tobit estimator. Capital structure and location factors are correlated with firm efficiency in the DEA models but not the FDH indicating that the FDH representation may account for these factors in the in the first-stage efficiency modeling. Results indicate that failing to control for firm-specific spatial constraints and capital divisibilities will bias inefficiency estimates and overestimate the potential gains to economic policy designed to improve firm performance.
