description: Agri- and aquaculture have common features associated with their biological nature affecting risk exposure of the businesses. The aim of this paper is to compare risk exposure in salmon farming and agricultural enterprises in Norway by using an implicit error component model to examine the risk structure of yields, prices and economic returns. Panel data originated from the Norwegian Farm Accountancy Survey and the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries. Results indicate a higher farm-level year-to-year variability in yields, prices and economic returns in salmon farming than in agricultural enterprises. Return on assets was highest in salmon farming with an average return of 9.2%. All of the agricultural farm types exhibited a negative average return on assets. Stochastic dominance tests of the distribution of economic returns from fish farming and agricultural enterprises showed salmon farming to the most economic viable alternative.

description: The effect of a N2 impurity on the radial thermal expansion coefficient (ar) of single-walled carbon nanotube bundles has been investigated in the temperature interval 2.2 - 43 K by the dilatometric method. Saturation of nanotube bundles with N2 caused a sharp increase in the positive magnitudes of ar in the whole range of temperatures used and a very high and wide maximum in the thermal expansion coefficient (ar)(T) at T about 28 K. The low temperature desorption of the impurity from the N2-saturated powder of bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes with open and closed ends has been investigated.

Subjects: subject: Agricultural and Food Policy
subject: New Zealand

subject: farmers

description: The rural population of New Zealand as a proportion of the total is falling. An important consequence of this is diminished representation for the rural sector in the House of Representatives and on regional councils. The agricultural group within the rural sector is dominated by livestock farmers. Environmental legislation, passed in recent years, has important implications for livestock farmers. A major study on intensive farming and the environment questioned some common practices, in particular use of artificial nitrogen and some aspects of irrigation. The environment is now a major concern to many urban dwellers. In New Zealand, the bulk of the agricultural output is exported. Consumers in some markets, in particular Europe/UK, as well as some major retailers, are looking closely at environmental aspects associated with imported food as well as animal welfare, food safety and traceability. New Zealand livestock farmers face a number of challenges related to the environment and other issues. This paper addresses some of these.

description: Agriculture/horticulture has traditionally been an important sector in the economy of Bulgaria. In the last two-three decades, agriculture has changed dramatically due to factors including economic reform from a centrally planned economy to a free market economy, political conflicts between the governing parties, agricultural reform, inefficient governmental decisions, poor legislation, lack of capital for investments, de-population of rural areas and the accession process towards the European Union (EU). This paper reviews the structural changes in Bulgarian agriculture since the period of Communism began (1944) and discusses the current situation for horticultural farms of different sizes in the Plovdiv region of Bulgaria. The respondents identified their cropping structure and land ownership patterns together with their marketing structure. Farm managersâ€™ future vision is also discussed. The small-scale farms (less than 2 ha) were mainly subsistence farms that were primarily involved in vegetable production and their farmers (most often the land owners), perceived farming as a way of living and surviving in the transition towards a free market economy and joining the EU. The â€˜mediumâ€™ farms (2-10 ha) were transitional and working under pressure for either survival or expansion. They mainly produced annual crops (vegetable and other agricultural crops) for the local market. The â€˜bigâ€™ farms (farms over 10 ha) were more market and business orientated and were aiming at economic viability within the unstable and competitive environment. Together with their annual crops they also grew some perennials (fruits and grapes). Recent Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF) reports indicate that the number of farms over 10 ha has been increasing slowly and will likely represent the future of farming in Bulgaria. The dynamic external environments in Bulgaria over the last three-four decades did not provide stable conditions for farm modernisation, land expansion or establishment of new orchards and vineyards. Despite the difficult economic environment of the country, it can be argued that the horticultural farms have significant potential due to favourable natural and weather conditions together with the tradition of growing horticultural crops that has existed for centuries. Joining the EU will present new challenges and opportunities for the successful and sustainable future development of farm businesses in Bulgaria.

description: The hot Neptune orbiting around GJ 436 is a unique example of an intermediate mass planet. Its close-in orbit suggests that the planet has undergone migration and its study is fundamental to understanding planet formation and evolution. As it transits its parent star, it is the only Neptune-mass extrasolar planet of known mass and radius, being slightly larger and more massive than Neptune (M=22.6 M_Earth, R=4.19R_Earth). In this regime, several bulk compositions are possible: from an Earth-like core with a thick hydrogen envelope to a water-rich planet with a thin hydrogen envelope comprising a Neptune-like structure. We combine planet-structure modeling with an advanced planet-formation model to assess the likelihood of the different possible bulk compositions of GJ 436 b. We find that both an envelope-free water planet ("Ocean planet") as well as a diminute version of a gaseous giant planet are excluded. Consisting of a rocky core with a thick hydrogen/helium envelope, a "dry" composition produces not only too small a radius but is also a very unlikely outcome of planet formation around such a low-mass star. We conclude that GJ 436 b is probably of much higher rock content than Neptune (more than 45% in mass), with a small H-He envelope (10 - 20% in mass). This is the expected outcome of the gathering of materials during the migration process in the inner disk, creating a population of which the hot Neptune is representative.

description: The electronic distribution functions of two Coulomb coupled chiral edge states forming a quasi-1D system with broken translation invariance are found using the equation of motion approach. We find that relaxation and thereby energy exchange between the two edge states is determined by the shot noise of the edge states generated at a quantum point contact (QPC). In close vicinity to the QPC, we derive analytic expressions for the distribution functions. We further give an iterative procedure with which we can compute numerically the distribution functions arbitrarily far away from the QPC. Our results are compared with recent experiments of Le Sueur et al..

description: We study various aspects of power suppressed as well as exponentially suppressed corrections in the asymptotic expansion of the degeneracy of quarter BPS dyons in N=4 supersymmetric string theories. In particular we explicitly calculate the power suppressed corrections up to second order and the first exponentially suppressed corrections. We also propose a macroscopic origin of the exponentially suppressed corrections using the quantum entropy function formalism. This suggests a universal pattern of exponentially suppressed corrections to all four dimensional extremal black hole entropies in string theory.

description: Commodity prices are notoriously volatile which is a major source of instability and uncertainty for commodity-dependent developing countries. Commodity price volatility affects governments, producers (farmers), traders, processors, and local financial institutions financing production inputs in these countries. There have been several attempts to deal with commodity price volatility. A number and variety of international and national institutions and programs were designed for this purpose. Most of the earlier attempts concentrated in trying to stabilize prices through the use of buffer stocks, buffer funds, government intervention in commodity markets, and international commodity agreements. These schemes have not proven satisfactory in dealing with commodity price instability. Academics and policy makers began to emphasize the distinction between programs that attempted to alter the price distribution, either domestically or internationally, with programs that deal with market uncertainty using market-based solutions. The rise in market-based commodity risk management instruments has been significant since the development of derivative instruments. The aim of this study is to determine the optimal time for African countries to buy grain by making use of call option contracts. Chicago Board of Trade contracts and contracts traded on the South African Futures Exchange were compared to determine which exchange would be appropriate, and the optimal time in which the contract should be purchased. The article starts by looking at droughts in Southern Africa, ways available to insure and/or hedge against supply risk. Thereafter, agricultural commodity market variability and volatility were analyzed to end with the determination of an optimal hedging period. The study goes on to assess the optimal timing for Tunisia to hedge their supply risk using the South African Futures Exchange as compared to the Chicago Board of Trade.

description: We show the existence of a competition-induced resonance effect for a generic globally coupled bistable system. In particular, we demonstrate that the response of the macroscopic variable to an external signal is optimal for a particular proportion of repulsive links. Furthermore, we show that a resonance also occurs for other system parameters, like the coupling strength and the number of elements. We relate this resonance to the appearance of a multistable region, and we predict the location of the resonance peaks, by a simple spectral analysis of the Laplacian matrix.
Cytological studies in the Tasmania conifers, the Indian Scilia and dipcadi
Creators: name: Rao, YS
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: There has been a considerable speculation with regard to the systematic and phylogenetic position of the Tasmanian endemic Conifers in the so-called \Taxares\" and \"Pinares\". Restricted to alpine terrains at an altitude of 3500-4500ft. they bear a superficial resemblance although belonging to different families per se. In any scheme of Conifer phylogeny based on external characters alone allocation of these genera to their proper systematic position would be difficult. Previous cytological studies were wholly confined to the reports of chromosome numbers of two genera. In the first part of this dissertation an attempt has been made not only to provide detailed information about their karyotypes but also to critically evaluate and integrate the karyological data with the available knowledge of their comparative morphology. The ultimate object is to assess the phylogenetic status of the Tasmanians Conifers. Two methods that enabled a critical study of their somatic chromosomes have been outlined in the second part. The probable trends in evolution of the two Indian Liliaceae namely Dipcadi and Scilla have so far not received any detailed consideration. The species of Dipcadi exhibit considerable convergence in their morphological characters; the area of the genus is wide and at the same time highly disjunct; several of its species are endemic. Providing a cytological basis for all these features has been the aim of the third paper. The mode of origin of the different cytotypes the prevailing differences between the local populations in their meiotic behaviour the potentialities that are in store for further evolution and speciation within a collective species like Scilia indica have been outlined in the fourth section. The variation in the heterochromatin content of the different individuals of S. hohenackeri has also been appended to the same paper."

description: We demonstrate electrical injection and detection of spin-polarized electrons in silicon (Si) using epitaxially grown Fe_3Si/Si Schottky-tunnel-barrier contacts. By an insertion of a delta-doped n^+-Si layer (~ 10^19 cm^-3) near the interface between a ferromagnetic Fe_3Si/Si contact and a Si channel (~ 10^15 cm^-3), we achieve a marked enhancement in the tunnel conductance for reverse-bias characteristics of the Fe_3Si/Si Schottky diodes. Using laterally fabricated four-probe geometries with the modified Fe_3Si/Si contacts, we detect nonlocal output signals which originate from the spin accumulation in a Si channel at low temperatures.

An empirical investigation of the attitudes, values, and ethics of youth towards a work orientation
Creators: name: Cook, Wayne Ernest, 1944-
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study was an attempt to explore the work attitudes of the young educated worker of the near future. Several motivational dimensions have been utilized to determine the values and preferences of the younger generation. Data have been gathered from the following institutions: two universities, two colleges, one technical-vocational school and three high schools by means of a Likert-scale type questionnaire devised for this study. The data have then been analysed on the basis of several motivational scales which could be loosely grouped (but not inclusive) into intrinsic and extrinsic job characteristics. Analysis of the results substantiated the following hypotheses: II University and vocational trade students will generally perceive themselves to be more mobile, both upwards and spatially, than high school and regional college students. III Commerce and vocational students will be more oriented towards economic returns as a result of their value transmission than arts students. V Youth in arts, in contrast to those in commerce and technical training, will be largely uncommitted and will seek increased leisure time due to the lack of socialization towards specific occupational positions. The following hypotheses were moderately substantiated: I Arts students with their general educational base will express greater anti-authoritarianism than Commerce and Technical students who are more oriented towards the values of the business community. VI Unlike students from high school, college and university arts programmes, commerce and vocational students do not regard pessimistically the general employment conditions and political concern for individuals. VII The attitudes towards work and life style are relatively similar among youth under 30. The following hypotheses were not substantiated in full: IV University and vocational students are more motivated towards work which is meaningful and which utilises the skills, knowledge, and capacity of the individual than high school or college students. VIII Men are inclined towards a work-orientation, whereas women are inclined towards a social-orientation.

description: Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) is an obligate intracellular parasite with worldwide distribution. It is estimated that near one-third of the people around the globe are latently seropositive for the parasite. Since the current common drugs are incapable in the elimination of parasites within tissue cysts, the development of an effective vaccine has high priority for researchers to limit the infection. During recent years, non-stop efforts of scientists have made great progress in the identification and development of T. gondii candidate vaccines. However, there is a lack of a commercially licensed vaccine for human application yet. Rhomboid proteases (ROMs) are a class of serine proteases that have an important role in the invasion of the parasites that can be considered as a new target for vaccine strategy. They also play critical roles in mitochondrial fusion and growth factor signaling, allowing the parasite to completely enter into the host cell. In the current review, we have summarized the recent progress regarding the development of ROM-based vaccines against acute and chronic T. gondii infection in animal models.

description: This paper assesses the effectiveness of the traditional models of cooperation and analyses best practice in collaboration between farmers seeking to gain significantly greater scale and flexibility in an increasingly global food chain. The UK grocery retail sector is one of the most concentrated in Europe and the total income from farming is estimated to have fallen 11% in real terms in comparison with 2004. Drawing upon broader strategic management thinking and relevant international practice, the study seeks to identify new feasible models for farmer collaboration. Existing forms and attitudes towards traditional business cooperation in the UK farming sector will continue to be insufficient to gain adequate market power and profitability within an increasingly competitive global food and farming industry. UK farmer collaboration needs to address the global scale of the food supply chain and to do so is likely to require a radical re-think of the most appropriate business structures and alliances.

An investigation of the difference between skin and bulk sea surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean between Australia and Antarctica
Creators: name: Rapier, Clive Brent
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Data were collected on board the RSV Aurora Australis in order to investigate the difference between the skin sea surface temperahlre (SST) and the bulk SST in the Southern Ocean. Bulk SST is the traditional sea surface temperature measured in situ by ship and buoy based thermometers and is representative of the upper few metres of the ocean. Thermal infrared radiometers will measure the skin SST, the temperahlre of the upper few microns less than 0.05 mm (Maul 1985), of the ocean surface. Previous research has shown that given typical conditions over tropical and temperate oceans, the skin SST is 0.1 - 0.5 ¬¨‚àûC cooler on average than the bulk SST (Robinson et al. 1984). This temperature difference ( ll.T = skin SST - bulk SST) is due mainly to the presence of a thermal boundary layer (less than 1 mm thick) which is a consequence of evaporation from the sea surface and the molecular conductive processes of heat transfer across the air-sea interface (Robinson et al. 1984; Hepplewhite 1989).

description: We use an effective Markovian description to study the long-time behaviour of a nonlinear second order Langevin equation with Gaussian noise. When dissipation is neglected, the energy of the system grows as with time a power-law with an anomalous scaling exponent that depends both on the confining potential and on the high frequency distribution of the noise. The asymptotic expression of the Probability Distribution Function in phase space is calculated analytically. The results are extended to the case where small dissipative effects are taken into account.

description: The objective of this study was to define the relationship between ear initiation (EI) and ear emergence (EE) of perennial ryegrass cultivars at two latitudes. This investigation comprised three treatments (outdoor site at 54oN (CROSSâ€™05), outdoor site at 50oN (MPKâ€™06) and glasshouse at 54oN (CROSSâ€™06)) on a common set of 40 cloned spaced plants of eight cultivars. EI date between MPKâ€™06 and CROSSâ€™05 was similar (+/- 1 day) while EI date at CROSSâ€™06 was earlier (-16 days). Plants at MPKâ€™06 had an EE date eight days earlier than plants at CROSS â€™05 and CROSSâ€™06. The interval between EI and EE was longer at CROSSâ€™06 (+19 days) and CROSSâ€™05 (+6 days) compared to MPKâ€™06. Later heading cultivars had shorter period between EI and EE than earlier heading cultivars. A strong relationship between plant EE and EI was found at Moorepark (r2 =0.93) and Crossnacreevy (r2 = 0.94). Predicting cultivar EI date is a key indicator of the timing of sward quality deterioration.

description: Technology is continually improving the technical efficiency of agriculture. Advances in seeds, chemicals, machinery, and other inputs are allowing farmers to produce more than ever before and with fewer inputs. In addition, the available supply of agricultural labour has been shrinking. One problem facing producers is determining what practices lead to labour savings and where is additional labour savings likely to occur. As quality labour becomes more expensive and difficult to obtain, producers will want to know how best to allocate their resources in order to obtain maximum labour efficiency. This paper uses seven years of farmer data from cotton and soybean production to develop a model that shows the factors determining the hours of labor required to produce each of the crops. The model is based on a regression analysis of 900 farmer observations from the Mississippi delta. In addition, the model shows how effective each factor is for reducing labour and whether the factor is more important for cotton or soybeans. Results show that farm size, field size, percent rented land, percent of farm planted to soybeans or cotton, percent custom expenses, percent GMO seed varieties, and row spacing can all be important factors determining labour hour requirements. Bigger farms have economies of scale for both cotton and soybean farms. However, the coefficient for cotton is twice as large meaning that cotton farms see a bigger gain in labour reduction by expanding than do soybean farms. The use of GMO had a similar effect as it both reduced labour and was more effective for cotton than soybeans. The major difference between cotton and soybean farms was in the degree of specialisation. For cotton farms, adding more cotton reduced labour while for soybeans, adding more increased labour. These results indicate that cotton farms are likely to continue to expand and also be more specialised. Farms growing soybeans are likely to grow a mix of crops but will continue to expand as well. These results should be useful to producers looking for ways to save labour and also to policy makers considering minimum wage laws and payment programs that might limit farm size.

description: We present an overview on how variability can be used to constrain the location of the ionized outflow in nearby Active Galactic Nuclei using high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy. Without these constraints on the location of the outflow, the kinetic luminosity and mass loss rate can not be determined. We focus on the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548, which is arguably the best studied AGN on a timescale of 10 years. Our results show that frequent observations combined with long term monitoring, such as with the \textit{Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)} satellite, are crucial to investigate the effects of these outflows on their surroundings.

Food safety risk assessment for the Australian dairy industry
Creators: name: Rasmussen, Sven K. J.
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis describes the development of a food safety risk assessment framework for the Australian dairy industry, through the collection of specific information regarding that industry and its collation and organisation into a structured and flexible spreadsheet model. The risk assessment model framework was developed for use as a tool for evaluating, identifying and prioritising research needs. Developed in Excel (Microsoft Corp.) with @Risk (Palisade Corp.) as an add-in, the model uses a stochastic approach to evaluate the likely concentration of hazards that may be present in liquid milk. Those hazards include: Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella spp., Campylobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Yersinia enterocolitica, Bacillus cereus, antibiotic and herbicide residues. The structure of the model allows for multiple hazards to be modelled in a single simulation. Flexibility of the spreadsheet model allows for manipulation of the input distribution 'parameters. This enables the evaluation of the effect on hazard concentration in liquid milk to be determined from specific. contamination events at the farm level. The effect of pasteurisation on microbiological hazards was examined together with the validity of log-linear thermal inactivation kinetics. Model estimates for antibiotic residues show that there is less than 10-3 chance of exceeding the MRL when starting with an initial probability of 0.0016 that each cow is contaminated and 0.1 grams of residue is present in milk from each contaminated cow. Microbiological hazards are not expected to survive pasteurisation given the estimated concentrations of those hazards entering the milk supply from the farm level and the reliability of the pasteurisation process.
PR - Behavioural Factors Affecting The Adoption Of Forward Contracts By Australian Wool Producers

description: A behavioural theory, based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Diffusion of Innovations, was previously developed to understand wool producersâ€™ intentions to adopt the use of forward contracts. The purpose of this research is to test the reliability and validity of our model using structural equation modelling. Empirical results indicate that the most significant variables in the model related to the nature of the Australian wool industry and a range of variables internal to the farm business. Relative advantage, compatibility and risk were also highly significant variables. The single message from this research is that there are a number of behavioural characteristics accounting for the slow adoption of price risk management strategies that are available to stabilise income. These findings will be useful to those wool traders and researchers looking to strengthen the international wool supply chain by using forward contracts to improve knowledge of wool qualities and quantities.

description: The complex evolution of turbulent mixing in Rayleigh-Taylor convection is studied in terms of eddy diffusiviy models for the mean temperature profile. It is found that a non-linear model, derived within the general framework of Prandtl mixing theory, reproduces accurately the evolution of turbulent profiles obtained from numerical simulations. Our model allows to give very precise predictions for the turbulent heat flux and for the Nusselt number in the ultimate state regime of thermal convection.

PR - Modelling Farm-economic And Environmental Effects Of Reduced Tillage - With Focus On Pesticide Use

Subjects: subject: Farm Management

subject: Reduced tillage
subject: no tillage
subject: costs

description: Reduced tillage is an increasingly popular farming method in many parts of the world. In some countries it is used on 50% of the total arable area, but in Denmark the area with reduced tillage is only 10%. The benefit from reduced tillage is less labour use and lower machinery costs per ha, but there are also environmental benefits as e.g. reduced phosphorus losses and CO2 emissions. The economic results calculated are based on the DOP II farm economic model, covering arable farms on clay soil. The conclusion is that reduced tillage increases profits by 67 â‚¬ per ha and there is also a reduction in the use of fuel and in the nitrogen surplus. When no increase in use of pesticide is allowed, the increase in profit from reduced tillage is still 65 â‚¬ per ha as the change towards spring crops in the reduced till system in itself reduces the pesticide use. Reduced tillage is expected to increase in Denmark, however, experience shows that it might not be a successful strategy for all farmers.

description: Dark Matter annihilation (DMA) may yield an excess of gamma rays and antimatter particles, like antiprotons and positrons, above the background from cosmic ray interactions. The excess of diffuse Galactic Gamma Rays from EGRET shows all the features expected from DMA. The new precise measurements of the antiproton and positron fractions from PAMELA are compared with the EGRET excess. It is shown that the charged particles are strongly dependent on the propagation model used. The usual propagation models with isotropic propagation models are incompatible with the recently observed convection in our Galaxy. Convection leads to an order of magnitude uncertainty in the yield of charged particles from DMA, since even a rather small convection will let drift the charged particles in the halo to outer space. It is shown that such anisotropic propagation models including convection prefer a contribution from DMA for the antiprotons, but the rise in the positron fraction, as observed by PAMELA, is incompatible with DMA, if compared with the EGRET excess. A rise in the positron/electron ratio is expected, if the observed rise in the proton/electron ratio is carefully fitted in a propagation model, although the rise is slightly larger than expected, so additional local sources may contribute as well within the limited accuracy of the data.
