description: Agricultural industries in small geographical areas with limited acreage tend to be overlooked by those not associated with the growing region or industry. Sugarbeets continue to be produced in a relatively small geographic area and on relatively limited acreage in Minnesota and North Dakota. These factors, along with continued debate over policies affecting domestic sugar industries and recent industry expansions, help justify a continued assessment of the economic importance of the sugarbeet industry to the regional economy. Revenues from sugarbeet production and expenditures by processors to Minnesota and North Dakota entities in fiscal 2011 represented the direct economic impacts from the industry. Expenditure information was provided by sugarbeet processing and marketing cooperatives. Secondary economic impacts were estimated using input-output analysis. The sugarbeet industry, which included the growing regions and processing plants located in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota and west central Minnesota planted 652,741 acres and processed 15.5 million tons of sugarbeets in fiscal 2011. Production and processing activities generated $1.7 billion in direct economic impacts. Gross business volume (direct and secondary effects) from the sugarbeet industry was estimated at $4.9 billion. Direct and secondary employment in the industry was 2,473 and 18,830 full-time equivalent jobs, respectively. The industry paid $15.4 million in property taxes and was estimated to generate another $105 million in sales and use, personal income, and corporate income taxes in Minnesota and North Dakota. In real terms, gross business volume of the sugarbeet industry in Minnesota and eastern North Dakota has increased 185 percent since 1987. Increases in business activity from the industry have resulted from increased production, processing, and marketing activities, as well as relatively high sugar prices during fiscal 2011.

description: Xyalophora nigra (Ionescu, 1969) n. comb. ‘species inquirenda ’
 Aspicera nigra Ionescu, 1969: 55
 According to the original description and photographies, this species collected from Romania does not belong to the Aspicerinae, but to the genus Xyalophora (Figitinae). Nevertheless, the diagnostic characters to differentiate this species from other Xyalophora species are not mentioned by Ionescu (1969). The type material is deposited in MGAB and it was studied by Dr. M. Forshage (C. R. Ban, pers. com.); according to Forshage annotations (C. R. Ban, pers. com.), this material probably belongs to Xyalophora clavata (Giraud, 1860). For the moment, it has not been possible to receive this type material by post, thus we have not been able to study this species yet.

description: Nonreciprocal devices such as isolators and circulators are key enabling technologies for communication systems, both at microwave and optical frequencies. While nonreciprocal devices based on magnetic effects are available for free-space and fibre-optic communication systems, their on-chip integration has been challenging, primarily due to the concomitant high insertion loss, weak magneto-optical effects, and material incompatibility. We show that Kerr nonlinear resonators can be used to achieve all-passive, low-loss, bias-free, broadband nonreciprocal transmission and routing for applications in photonic systems such as chip-scale LIDAR. A multi-port nonlinear Fano resonator is used as an on-chip, all-optical router for frequency comb based distance measurement. Since time-reversal symmetry imposes stringent limitations on the operating power range and transmission of a single nonlinear resonator, we implement a cascaded Fano-Lorentzian resonator system that overcomes these limitations and significantly improves the insertion loss, bandwidth and non-reciprocal power range of current state-of-the-art devices. This work provides a platform-independent design for nonreciprocal transmission and routing that are ideally suited for photonic integration.

description: In the thermodynamic limit, a probabilistic cellular automaton can be approximated by a deterministic nonlinear map. Here we construct such a map for the forest fire problem. The construction is based on the results of the Monte Carlo simulation, performed on a square lattice of million cells. The results of the calculation are analyzed by means of the Hoshen--Kopelman algorithm (HKA). The only parameter of the map describes the probability that a tree appears at an empty cell during one time step. The obtained map seems to be non-differentiable at the percolation threshold. The Lyapunov exponent for the map is positive. Also, we found the cycle of length three by means of the method of symbolic dynamics. The results are illustrated by the experimental data on the forest fires in Canada in years 1970--2000. Although these data are fortunately far from thermodynamic limit, their qualitative character is reproduced for smaller lattices.

description: This paper extends the long-term cash-flow simulations reported in Part I (Hutchings 2009) to include a range of seasonal scenarios at four representative dryland sites in south-eastern Australia. The effect of varying the proportion of sheep and cropping in the enterprise mix at each site on cash surpluses is discussed. The analysis shows that, for most sites, the cropping enterprises require better than average seasons, prices and water-use efficiencies to generate a positive cash flow and are subject to substantial variability and risk of loss. In contrast, the sheep enterprises show small but stable cash flows in all but extreme drought conditions. This paper emphasises the need to include site-specific, long-term variability and whole-farm costs in analyses of farming returns. Attempts to define optimum or best-bet management systems which exclude these factors are likely to provide misleading information to farmers.

description: A definition of a quantum vertex algebra, which is a deformation of a vertex algebra, was proposed by Etingof and Kazhdan in 1998. In a nutshell, a quantum vertex algebra is a braided state-field correspondence which satisfies associativity and braided locality axioms. We develop a structure theory of quantum vertex algebras, parallel to that of vertex algebras. In particular, we introduce braided n-products for a braided state-field correspondence and prove for quantum vertex algebras a version of the Borcherds identity.

description: More research is needed before we know the implications of climate change for Australian farms. Nevertheless given the information at hand, an assessment can be made of some early indicators. First, the severity of the recent drought was compared with earlier droughts. Second, the trend in rainfall was examined. Third, projections of climate change were reviewed to assess the likely course of climate variability, and hence provide a picture of the severity of future droughts. Although further research is warranted, the indications are that even if rainfall is no lower in future droughts, they may seem more severe because rising temperatures will tend to increase evaporation and reduce runoff.

description: The boundary of two mixed Bose-Einstein condensates interacting repulsively was considered in the case of spatial separation at zero temperature. Analytical expressions for density distribution of condensates were obtained by solving two coupled nonlinear Gross-Pitaevskii equations in cases corresponding weak and strong separation. These expressions allow to consider excitation spectrum of a particle confined in the vicinity of the boundary as well as surface waves associated with surface tension.

description: Productivity change and real returns to resources are measured for a sample of farms in south-west Victoria that produce beef. A stochastic frontier production model is estimated from which annual production frontiers and individual farm technical inefficiencies are calculated during the survey period from 1995-96 to 2004-05. Results suggest that best-practice beef producers in this region (those operating on the production frontier) modestly improved their productivity during the period. Technically inefficient farms seem to be achieving productivity increases lower than their top-performing counterparts and are on average falling behind the productivity levels of the latter. A single factoral terms of trade index is also estimated for each farm as a measure of the real returns to resources used in the beef enterprise. The mean annual index increased substantially after declining during the first year of the survey period. This measure showed much greater volatility than the productivity measure, principally because of fluctuations in beef prices.

description: Micelle enhanced ultrafiltration (MEUF) is a surfactant-based membrane separation process that may be used to separate target ions from mixed metal aqueous solutions, such as leachates of coal ash and other geological wastewaters. The ability of MEUF to separate rare earth elements (REEs) was evaluated using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the sorbent in surfactant micelle phase, which was subsequently separated using ultrafiltration, acidification, and ferricyanide precipitation. Separation experiments were performed with a synthetic coal ash leachate feedstock as an example mixed-metal feedstock. Experiments tested the influence of surfactant concentration, pH, and co-existing competitive ions on REE recoveries, and also tested methods for SDS recovery and reuse. Membrane rejection efficiencies of REEs were 97% and 71% respectively for synthetic and real leachate under optimized operating conditions. A two-step process of precipitation with CaCl2 and Na2CO3 following membrane separation was the best for recovering SDS with a yield of 99.7%.

description: Since techniques used to address the Nivat's conjecture usually relies on Morse-Hedlund Theorem, an improved version of this classical result may mean a new step towards a proof for the conjecture. In this paper, considering an alphabetical version of the Morse-Hedlund Theorem, we show that, for a configuration $η\in A^{\mathbb{Z}^2}$ that contains all letters of a given finite alphabet $A$, if its complexity with respect to a quasi-regular set $\mathcal{S} \subset \mathbb{Z}^2$ (a finite set whose convex hull on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is described by pairs of edges with identical size) is bounded from above by $\frac{1}{2}|\mathcal{S}|+|A|-1$, then $η$ is periodic.

description: Based on the premise that communication is critical to effective governance, this research examines the communication mechanisms used within Maori organisations. It is part of an objective funded by the Foundation for Research, Science and Technology to "Define the important elements in building a governance structure to achieve alignment with the goals of owners on multiply-owned (Maori) lands". It contributes to both government and Maori agendas to accelerate Maori economic development while acknowledging the challenge in reconciling economic imperatives to increase profit with Maori cultural obligations to uphold spiritual and cultural (kaitiaki) obligations. Previous studies undertaken by AgResearch with groups other than the "traditional farmer" highlighted the need for approaches and methods that embrace a culturally conducive, participatory, and mutually beneficial research relationship. In keeping with an essentially qualitative research approach, five case study groups were identified and nineteen people took part in in-depth, face-to-face interviews. This study highlights a range of communication mechanisms used by Maori organisations.

description: In this study, the suitability of natural peat (Nat-Peat) and HCl-modified peat (M-Peat) as a sorbent for purification of mining water was evaluated in two different small-scale pilot systems: a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and a horizontal flow filter (HFF). The effect of process parameters (peat type, peat dose, mixing time, mixing intensity) on metal (metalloid) removal in the CSTR system was also investigated. In the CSRT, Nat-Peat achieved higher removal of Ni (<80%) and As (∼61%) than M-Peat (72% and 26% for Ni and As, respectively). In the HFF, Nat-Peat achieved slightly lower maximum removal of Ni (<96%) than M-Peat (<98%) and higher removal of As and Sb (<87% and 8%) than M-Peat (<35% and 7%). Thus, chemical modification (HCl) of peat did not improve its affinity for metal and metalloids. Among the process parameters studied, peat dose exerted the strongest effect on residual concentrations of Ni, As and Sb. Higher removal of Ni and As was achieved in treatment combinations involving high peat dose (2 g/L), mixing time (60 min) and mixing intensity (300 rpm), but the effect of increasing level of these factors was not linear. This study showed that peat can be a viable sorbent material in CSTR systems (followed by sedimentation) if sorbent particle removal can be improved. Use of peat in HFF systems is not viable, due to its inability to cope with large water volumes.

This means that it is difficult for individual producers to develop a successful approach to customer relationship management without developing a product focus on one or two of these customer segments.

description: The decrease in the area of arable land has further continued in the European Union (EU) since the Millennium. Sustainable development is partially based on the sustainable use of natural resources, which is based on the limitation of land use and on the introduction of different incentives. Previous direct subsidies resulted in increased production. The reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has aimed to stop the increase in production, possibly even to decrease production. The objective of this research is to show whether such an effect on land use and on the change of production structure in the EU can be observed. Analyses have shown that agricultural and arable areas have further decreased within land use since the Millennium, continuing the previously characteristic trend in the EU. The proportion and the yield of cereals in the production structure have increased. We conclude that in this respect the effects of the CAP on agriculture are the opposite to its original aims.

description: Two new metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (Th/ Ce -TCPE) based on 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)ethylene were obtained using a straightforward reaction under moderate conditions. Th and Ce formed the central units of this MOF in the mononuclear and in the unusual trinuclear cluster configurations, respectively. The resulting MOFs were analysed by fluorescence spectroscopy to understand their luminescence. The obtained data revealed that benzene's electron cloud density and torsion angle on the ligand were affected by the acetic acid molecule and Th(IV), which caused Th-TCPE to irradiate stronger blue emission, but Ce-TCPE showed no fluorescence due to the self-quenching. Such a unique luminescence property could be used for fluorescence or radiopharmaceutical sensing.

description: This paper applies an integrated CGE-microsimulation model to analyse the impact of the 2006-08 increase in commodity prices on Uganda. Previous impact analysis studies suggested that the food price shock increased poverty in Uganda as there are more net food buyer than net food seller households. We show that the agriculture commodity price shocks were poverty-reducing, but the simultaneous increases in energy and fertiliser prices were poverty-increasing. Overall, poverty decreased in Uganda as a result of external price shocks in the 2006-08 period.

Generic q, q roots of unity and q -> 1 yield different classes of integrable models. Exact solutions through algebraic Bethe ansatz is formulated for all models in a unified way.

description: In a recent letter [PRL 86, 1 (2001)], Gollisch and Wetterich show that a careful treatment of discretization errors in a phase-space path integral formulation of quantum mechanics leads to a correction term as compared to the standard form based on coherent states. We point out in this comment that their approach is not unique and that the coherent state path integral formalism, without correction term, yields the same result. It does this as long as known (but sometimes neglected) exponential convergence factors, which control discretization errors in this approach, are taken into account.

description: This paper presents a mathematical analysis of structured quantum oscillations interacting with dark matter fields. Our research demonstrates how structured quantum expansion, governed by recursive wave harmonics, stabilizes within dark matter-dominated environments. This framework provides insight into the role of dark matter in regulating quanta behavior, influencing gravitational wave dynamics, and shaping large-scale cosmic structures.
Data Selection with Cluster-Based Language Difference Models and Cynical Selection

description: We present and apply two methods for addressing the problem of selecting relevant training data out of a general pool for use in tasks such as machine translation. Building on existing work on class-based language difference models, we first introduce a cluster-based method that uses Brown clusters to condense the vocabulary of the corpora. Secondly, we implement the cynical data selection method, which incrementally constructs a training corpus to efficiently model the task corpus. Both the cluster-based and the cynical data selection approaches are used for the first time within a machine translation system, and we perform a head-to-head comparison. Our intrinsic evaluations show that both new methods outperform the standard Moore-Lewis approach (cross-entropy difference), in terms of better perplexity and OOV rates on in-domain data. The cynical approach converges much quicker, covering nearly all of the in-domain vocabulary with 84% less data than the other methods. Furthermore, the new approaches can be used to select machine translation training data for training better systems. Our results confirm that class-based selection using Brown clusters is a viable alternative to POS-based class-based methods, and removes the reliance on a part-of-speech tagger. Additionally, we are able to validate the recently proposed cynical data selection method, showing that its performance in SMT models surpasses that of traditional cross-entropy difference methods and more closely matches the sentence length of the task corpus.

Are Forest Fires Predictable?

description: Dynamic mean field theory is applied to the problem of forest fires. The starting point is the Monte Carlo simulation in a lattice of million cells. The statistics of the clusters is obtained by means of the Hoshen--Kopelman algorithm. We get the map $p_n\to p_{n+1}$, where $p_n$ is the probability of finding a tree in a cell, and $n$ is the discrete time. We demonstrate that the time evolution of $p$ is chaotic. The arguments are provided by the calculation of the bifurcation diagram and the Lyapunov exponent. The bifurcation diagram reveals several windows of stability, including periodic orbits of length three, five and seven. For smaller lattices, the results of the iteration are in qualitative agreement with the statistics of the forest fires in Canada in years 1970--2000.

description: This paper developes a multiperiod model in which hedge adjustments are allowed. The two major marketing alternatives specified in the model are to sell in the spot market or to forward contract using formula pricing. To proxy the underlying forward contract value, the American put call parity (APCP) technique is used. The conceptual framework considers a mean-variance utility function that is maximized sequentially to obtain optimal forward contract and hedge ratios. The closed loop solution guides the dymanic flow of information between decision stages via three essential features: sequential dependence, feedback, and anticipated revision. The empirical model considers a multivariate ARMA-GARCH framework that estimates the time series of A{CP values, live hog prices, and future gains/losses simultaneously with the conditional (time-varying) variance-covariance structure. This provides a superior forecasting tool to capture the second-moment dynamics for computing optimal forward contract and hedge ratios. The simulation results recommend significant upward hedge adjustments on average. This reflects the time-varying pattern of optimal hedge ratios. The optimal forward contract ratios indicate in almost all instances that hogs should be marketed in entirely in advance. The effectiveness of CME live/lean hog futures hedging is assessed for its ability to reduce both spot price and contract value risks under under the closed loop solution. The percentage improvement in utility is compared with two other alternative portfolios of no hedgig and non-adjustable MGARCH hedging. The findings indicate that the closed loop solution is able to acheive the best utility outcome especially in volatile market situations
