description: Ensembles of alkali or noble-gas atoms at room temperature and above are widely applied in quantum optics and metrology owing to their long-lived spins. Their collective spin states maintain nonclassical nonlocal correlations, despite the atomic thermal motion in the bulk and at the boundaries. Here we present a stochastic, fully-quantum description of the effect of atomic diffusion in these systems. We employ the Bloch-Heisenberg-Langevin formalism to account for the quantum noise originating from diffusion and from various boundary conditions corresponding to typical wall coatings, thus modeling the dynamics of nonclassical spin states with spatial inter-atomic correlations. As examples, we apply the model to calculate spin noise spectroscopy, temporal relaxation of squeezed spin states, and the coherent coupling between two spin species in a hybrid system.

description: Understanding glass formation is a challenge because the existence of a true glass state, distinct from liquid and solid, remains elusive: Glasses are liquids that have become too viscous to flow. An old idea, as yet unproven experimentally, is that the dynamics becomes sluggish as the glass transition approaches because increasingly larger regions of the material have to move simultaneously to allow flow. We introduce new multipoint dynamical susceptibilities to estimate quantitatively the size of these regions and provide direct experimental evidence that the glass formation of molecular liquids and colloidal suspensions is accompanied by growing dynamic correlation length scales.

Two novel outer membrane proteins involved in intrinsic aminoglycoside resistence in Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Creators: name: Jo, James T. H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The expression of tripartite multi-drug efflux pumps such as MexA-MexB-OprM in Pseudomonas aeruginosa contributes to intrinsic resistance to a wide variety of antimicrobials, including (3-lactams, chloramphenicol, macrolides, quinolones, and tetracycline. MexX-MexY are the only linker and pump efflux system components in P. aeruginosa that have been shown to confer intrinsic resistance to aminoglycosides. While a number of studies suggest that OprM, the main efflux outer membrane protein (OMP), forms a functional channel with the MexX-MexY proteins, other data suggests that another OMP is the native channel for the MexX-MexY efflux system. Fifteen functionally uncharacterized OprM-homologues identified in the recently-sequenced genome of P. aeruginosa were possible candidates for the role of the native outer membrane channel for MexX-MexY. Insertional inactivation of OpmG resulted in an 8-fold decrease in MIC to streptomycin, kanamycin, and gentamicin, while inactivation of OpmH resulted in 4- to 8-fold decreases in MIC to kanamycin and streptomycin. When reintroduced into P. aeruginosa on multicopy plasmids, both OpmG and OpmH were able to complement the susceptibility of their respective mutants. Changes in MIC due to pseudo-reversion through compensatory mutations were not a factor, as demonstrated by mini-microarray hybridization analysis of the OprM-homologues. This study demonstrates that the two novel outer membrane proteins OpmG and Opmh play a role in aminoglycoside resistance, and that OpmG is likely the main aminoglycoside efflux channel.

description: We introduce a very general model of an inhomogenous random graph with independence between the edges, which scales so that the number of edges is linear in the number of vertices. This scaling corresponds to the p=c/n scaling for G(n,p) used to study the phase transition; also, it seems to be a property of many large real-world graphs. Our model includes as special cases many models previously studied. We show that under one very weak assumption (that the expected number of edges is `what it should be'), many properties of the model can be determined, in particular the critical point of the phase transition, and the size of the giant component above the transition. We do this by relating our random graphs to branching processes, which are much easier to analyze. We also consider other properties of the model, showing, for example, that when there is a giant component, it is `stable': for a typical random graph, no matter how we add or delete o(n) edges, the size of the giant component does not change by more than o(n).

description: This study aims to characterise the evolution of vineyard production, to measure the levels of technical efficiency, and to relate these with farmers and farms attributes. The sample used is composed of a panel of vineyard farms, for the period 2000-2005, belonging to Portuguese Alentejo region. The methodology used to estimate technical efficiency, was the stochastic production frontier. The results showed that there are room to improve the levels of technical efficiency in input use and that efficiency is variant with time. It was observed that technical efficiency increases with economic size and net farm income, as well as with family entrepreneurship.
High order pressure-based semi-implicit IMEX schemes for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations at all Mach numbers

description: This article aims at developing a high order pressure-based solver for the solution of the 3D compressible Navier-Stokes system at all Mach numbers. We propose a cell-centered discretization of the governing equations that splits the fluxes into a fast and a slow scale part, that are treated implicitly and explicitly, respectively. A novel semi-implicit discretization is proposed for the kinetic energy as well as the enthalpy fluxes in the energy equation, hence avoiding any need of iterative solvers. The implicit discretization yields an elliptic equation on the pressure that can be solved for both ideal gas and general equation of state (EOS). A nested Newton method is used to solve the mildly nonlinear system for the pressure in case of nonlinear EOS. High order in time is granted by implicit-explicit (IMEX) time stepping, whereas a novel CWENO technique efficiently implemented in a dimension-by-dimension manner is developed for achieving high order in space for the discretization of explicit convective and viscous fluxes. A quadrature-free finite volume solver is then derived for the high order approximation of numerical fluxes. Central schemes with no dissipation of suitable order of accuracy are finally employed for the numerical approximation of the implicit terms. Consequently, the CFL-type stability condition on the maximum admissible time step is based only on the fluid velocity and not on the sound speed, so that the novel schemes work uniformly for all Mach numbers. Convergence and robustness of the proposed method are assessed through a wide set of benchmark problems involving low and high Mach number regimes, as well as inviscid and viscous flows.

description: The preparation of the farm transfer or farm exit is a process that starts in the consolidation stage of the farm life cycle. In this stage, the decision to transfer the farm or not is taken and the farm management is adapted to this decision. The objective of this paper is to model the succession effect on farm management. The results show that the succession effect plays a role from the age of 45. An early designation of the successor gives an incentive to invest and to improve the management.

description: The paper analyzes the preferences of dairy farmers with respect to their work by the means of a Discrete Choice experiment, which was carried out in the Eastern part of Switzerland. 304 dairy farmers, who intend to produce milk beyond the abolishment of the milk quota in 2009, were asked to choose between the status quo and alternatives consisting of several combinations with four attributes. The latter comprise work content, terms of employment, holiday per year and income per year. Using a probit model, the willingness to pay/accept is calculated. The results indicate that there is a strong preference to stay in dairy production. In order to achieve both, maintaining the level of utility and moving away from dairy production, an additional income (willingness to accept) per year of at least CHF 25’000.- would be necessary. The pre-ferences of dairy farmers show that differences between the alternative work contents like suckler cows husbandry, farming without livestock and work outside of agriculture are minor.

description: Agrotourism is a growing economic activity in North America that is increasingly being seen as a new alternative for farmers seeking to augment or diversify their incomes (Lyson, 2003; Bourdeau, Doyon and Donne, 2001). Although the literature recognizes the economic dimension of agrotourism for farmers, many authors imply or argue that choosing agrotourism activities instead of alternatives such as horizontal integration or a new production activity goes well beyond rational economic optimization (Morette, Gramond and Portefait, 1998; Moinet, 1993; Grolleau and Ramus, 1986). This article explores this hypothesis by adapting the experiential approach developed by Holbrook and Hirschman (1982) to an analysis of consumer behaviour by decision makers.

description: Mineral vesicles and chemical gardens are self-organized biomimetic structures that form via abiotic mineral precipitation. These membranous structures are known to catalyze prebiotic reactions but the extreme conditions required for their synthesis has cast doubts on their formation in nature. Apart from model solutions, these structures have been shown to form in serpentinization-driven natural silica-rich water and by fluid-rock interaction of model alkaline solutions with granites. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that self-assembled hollow mineral vesicles and gardens can be synthesized in natural carbonate-rich soda lake water. We have synthesized these structures by a) pouring saturated metal salt solutions, and b) by immersing metal salt pellets in brines collected from Lake Magadi (Kenya). The resulting structures are analyzed by using SEM coupled with EDX analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. Our results suggest that mineral self-assembly could have been a common phenomenon in soda oceans of early Earth and Earth-like planets and moons. The composition of the obtained vesicles and gardens confirms the recent observation that carbonate minerals in soda lakes sequestrate Ca, thus leaving phosphate behind in solution available for biochemical reactions. Our results strengthens the proposal that alkaline brines could be ideal sites for “one-pot” synthesis of prebiotic organic compounds and the origin of life.

description: Finite size effects on the calorimetric cooperatity of the folding-unfolding transition in two-state proteins are considered using the Go lattice models with and without side chains. We show that for models without side chains a dimensionless measure of calorimetric cooperativity kappa2 defined as the ratio of the van't Hoff to calorimetric enthalpy does not depend on the number of amino acids N. The average value of kappa2 is about 3/4 which is lower than the experimental value kappa2=1. For models with side chains kappa2 approaches unity as kappa2 \sim N^mu, where exponent mu=0.17. Above the critical chain length Nc =135 these models can mimic the truly all-or-non folding-unfolding transition.

description: Based on our previous publication [U. Herzog and J. A. Bergou, Phys.Rev. A 71, 050301(R) (2005)] we investigate the optimum measurement for the unambiguous discrimination of two mixed quantum states that occur with given prior probabilities. Unambiguous discrimination of nonorthogonal states is possible in a probabilistic way, at the expense of a nonzero probability of inconclusive results, where the measurement fails. Along with a discussion of the general problem, we give an example illustrating our method of solution. We also provide general inequalities for the minimum achievable failure probability and discuss in more detail the necessary conditions that must be fulfilled when its absolute lower bound, proportional to the fidelity of the states, can be reached.

description: I propose a quantum sensor based on driven-dissipative quantum system for the joint estimation of two conjugated variables characterizing the phase space displacement. The quantum probe consists of lattice system with two level atoms and bosonic modes which interact via dipolar coupling. Interplay between the coherent dynamics and dissipative processes of losses of bosonic excitations leads to a steady state which exhibits a non-analytical behaviour. I show that close to the dissipative phase transition the sensitivity of one of the conjugated parameters either the magnitude of the phase of the displacement can be significantly enhanced. Moreover, I show that the sum of the measurement uncertainties of the two parameters can overcome the standard quantum limit.

description: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-α (Hif-1α), an important transcription factor regulating cellular responses to reductions in O2, previously was shown to improve hypoxia tolerance in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Here, we examined the contribution of Hif-1α to hypoxic survival, focusing on the benefit of aquatic surface respiration (ASR). Wild-type and Hif-1α knockout lines of adult zebrafish were exposed to two levels (moderate or severe) of intermittent hypoxia. Survival was significantly compromised in Hif-1α knockout zebrafish prevented from accessing the surface during severe (16 mmHg) but not moderate (23 mmHg) hypoxia. When allowed access to the surface in severe hypoxia, survival times did not differ between wild-type and Hif-1α knockouts. Performing ASR mitigated the negative effects of the loss of Hif-1α with the knockouts initiating ASR at a higher PO2 threshold and performing ASR for longer than wild-types. The loss of Hif-1α had little impact on survival in fish between 1 and 5 days post-fertilization, but as the larvae aged, their reliance on Hif-1α increased. Similar to adult fish, ASR compensated for the loss of Hif-1α on survival. Together, these results demonstrate that age, hypoxia severity and, in particular, the ability to perform ASR significantly modulate the impact of Hif-1α on survival in hypoxic zebrafish.

description: One of the main elements of economic sanctions against Iran due to its nuclear and military programs is crude oil exportation restrictions in addition to investment in Iranian energy related projects. Senders of such sanction are interested in understanding the impacts of such embargos on international oil prices. We apply unrestricted Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model, using impulse response (IRF) and variance decomposition (VDA) tools with annual data from 1965 to 2012 to analyze the dynamic response of international oil prices to Iranian oil export sanction. Controlling for the supply of non-Iranian oil and the world GDP per capita, we show that international oil prices respond positively to negative changes of the Iranian oil exports, our proxy of Iran oil sanctions. However, the increasing response of oil prices to the Iranian oil sanction is only significant in the first year after negative shock in Iran oil exports. Beyond the first year following shock, we do not observe a statistically significant response of oil prices.

description: We demonstrate electron redistribution caused by magnetic field on a single quantum dot measured by means of a quantum point contact as non-invasive detector. Our device which is fabricated by local anodic oxidation allows to control independently the quantum point contact and all tunnelling barriers of the quantum dot. Thus we are able to measure both the change of the quantum dot charge and also changes of the electron configuration at constant number of electrons on the quantum dot. We use these features to exploit the quantum dot in a high magnetic field where transport through the quantum dot displays the effects of Landau shells and spin blockade. We confirm the internal rearrangement of electrons as function of the magnetic field for a fixed number of electrons on the quantum dot.

description: In this work, we consider the possibility of energy storage enhancement in electric capacitors using the compensational method. The essence of the proposed approach is the use of inductive voltage V_ind to partially compensate the electrostatic voltage q/C produced by the electric charges on the capacitor plates. We hypothesize that it may be possible to increase the amount of charge stored on the plates before the breakdown and increase the energy stored in the capacitor using the compensational inductive voltage. There are several possible scenarios of manipulating the inductive voltage to increase the amount of energy released via the discharge. We also consider several electro-magnetic capacitors for practical utilization. Potentially, the energy per volume stored in a simple parallel plate capacitor may exceed the one of gasoline. The physical limits and technological shortcomings of the proposed approach are also discussed.

Australia, choć jest wyspą położoną w znacznym oddaleniu od lądu stałego, a zatem i innych państw, nie zdołała uniknąć fali zachorowań na COVID-19.25 stycznia br. pierwszy przypadek odnotowały władze stanu Wiktoria – osobą chorą okazał się mężczyzna, który przyleciał do Melbourne z chińskiego miasta Wuhan nieco wcześniej, 19 stycznia. Władze zareagowały, wdrażając specjalne procedury. Departament Spraw Zagranicznych i Handlu (czyli odpowiednik Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych) ostrzegł obywateli przed podróżą do Wuhan i prowincji Hubei, wprowadzono także kontrolę sanitarną na granicach. Mimo podjętych środków nastąpił przyrost zachorowań i 20 marca władze podjęły decyzję o zamknięciu granic Australii. Podobnie jak w innych państwach wprowadzono zasadę dystansowania społecznego (od 21 marca) oraz zamknięto te formy działalności gospodarczej, które nie są niezbędne dla funkcjonowania społeczeństwa. Liczba zakażeń początkowo wzrastała bardzo szybko, następnie ustabilizowała się na poziomie około 350 przypadków dziennie (około 22 marca), by na początku kwietnia zacząć spadać. Na koniec kwietnia było to już około 20 zachorowań dziennie. W momencie przygotowywania tego tekstu w Australii odnotowano łącznie 7036 przypadków, 98 osób zmarło, natomiast 6362 wyzdrowiało; dzienna liczba zakażeń to 20 przypadków (stan na 16 maja). Przy łącznej liczbie ludności, wynoszącej niespełna 25,5 mln mieszkańców daje to zatem przeszło 90% ozdrowieńców i zaledwie 0,02% zakażeń. Można zatem stwierdzić, że Australia poradziła sobie z epidemią i jest na dobrej drodze do jej wygaszenia, jakkolwiek epidemia spowodowała różne następstwa dla sytuacji polityczno-prawnej w państwie.

description: We study a symmetry property of momentum distribution functions in the steady state of heat conduction. When the equation of motion is symmetric under change of signs for all dynamical variables, the distribution function is also symmetric. This symmetry can be broken by introduction of an asymmetric term in the interaction potential or the on-site potential, or employing the thermal walls as heat reservoirs. We numerically find differences of behavior of the models with and without the on-site potential.

description: We report radial velocity studies of five candidate metal-poor field blue stragglers, all known to be deficient in lithium. Four of the five stars are single-lined spectroscopic binaries, with periods ranging from 302 to 840 days, and low orbital eccentricities, in agreement with similar behavior found for other blue straggler candidates by Preston & Sneden (2000) and Carney et al. (2001). The limited data available for lithium abundances indicate that all blue straggler candidates have depleted lithium abundances. Our results show higher values of v(rot) sin i for the binary stars than comparable temperature constant-velocity stars. The orbital periods are too long for tidal effects to now be important, implying that spin-up during mass transfer when the orbital separations and periods were smaller is that cause of the enhanced rotation.

description: (Abridged) We present our VLT/FORS1 deep spectroscopic observations of the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J0924+0219, as well as archival HST/NICMOS and ACS images of the same object. The two-epoch spectra, obtained in the Multi Object Spectroscopy (MOS) mode, allow for very accurate flux calibration, spatial deconvolution of the data, and provide the redshift of the lensing galaxy z=0.394 +/- 0.001. These spectra, taken 15 days apart, show only slight continuum variations, while the broad emission lines display obvious changes in the red wing of the Mg II line, in the Fe II bands, and in the central part of the C III] line. Even though variations in the line profiles are present, we do not see any significant differences between the continuum and emission line flux ratios of images A and B of the quasar. Spatial deconvolution of the HST images reveals a double Einstein ring. One ring corresponds to the lensed quasar host galaxy at z=1.524 and a second bluer one, is the image either of a star-forming region in the host galaxy, or of another unrelated lower redshift object. We find that a broad range of lens models gives a satisfactory fit to the data. However, they predict very different time delays, making SDSS J0924+0219 an object of particular interest for photometric monitoring. In addition, the lens models reconstructed using exclusively the constraints from the Einstein rings, or using exclusively the astrometry of the quasar images, are not compatible. This suggests that substructures play an important role in SDSS J0924+0219.

description: The discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Alberta and the subsequent U.S. border closure raised concerns about the reliance of Canada’s cattle industry upon U.S. packers. It became clear that Canada lacked the slaughter capacity to support the number of cattle going to market. This and other factors resulted in steep price declines. Since 2003, slaughter capacity has increased by approximately 46 percent. Given that many of the start-ups are small-scale operations that in many cases lack experience and financial backing, questions arise regarding the viability and sustainability of these enterprises. This study examines existing processing capacity as well as planned expansions and discusses the implications for Canadian cattle prices. Even though the U.S. border reopened in July 2005, concerns about slaughter capacity remain. Animals over 30 months of age must still be slaughtered in Canada. There are also ongoing concerns about Canada’s continued ability to export live cattle to the United States. Future exports are threatened by potential trade actions and by unpredictable animal health issues that could again close the border.

description: The first-year WMAP data taken at their face value hint that the Universe might be slightly positively curved and therefore necessarily finite, since all spherical (Clifford-Klein) space forms M^3 = S^3/Gamma, given by the quotient of S^3 by a group Gamma of covering transformations, possess this property. We examine the anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) for all typical groups Gamma corresponding to homogeneous universes. The CMB angular power spectrum and the temperature correlation function are computed for the homogeneous spaces as a function of the total energy density parameter Omega_tot in the large range [1.01, 1.20] and are compared with the WMAP data. We find that out of the infinitely many homogeneous spaces only the three corresponding to the binary dihedral group T*, the binary octahedral group O*, and the binary icosahedral group I* are in agreement with the WMAP observations. Furthermore, if Omega_tot is restricted to the interval [1.00, 1.04], the space described by T* is excluded since it requires a value of Omega_tot which is probably too large being in the range [1.06, 1.07]. We thus conclude that there remain only the two homogeneous spherical spaces S^3/O* and S^3/I* with Omega_tot of about 1.038 and 1.018, respectively, as possible topologies for our Universe.

description: Price pooling has long been used as a means to deal with risk in the marketing of agricultural commodities. For commodities, product pooling may also generate potential benefits through economies of scale or the provision of market power. Yet there has also been a growing interest in product differentiation and the development of value chains as a means to increase returns to farmers. This article explores the question of whether price or product pooling is compatible with a strategy of pro-active product differentiation through value chains.

Global climate change
extreme weather events

description: This paper examines the extent and the determinants of individual global climate change be-liefs. In contrast to former studies, it is focused on China due to its crucial role in global cli-mate policy and its responsibility as the worldwide biggest producer of CO2 emissions. The empirical analysis is based on unique data from a survey among more than 1000 individuals from five cities in China, namely Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Wuhan, and Shenyang. In line with previous studies in other countries, our results suggest that the vast majority of al-most 90% of the Chinese respondents believe in the existence of global climate change, which seems to be a convenient basis for ambitious climate policy in China. Our econometric analy-sis reveals that the personal experience with extreme weather events (and particularly heat-waves) alone is already sufficient to increase global climate change beliefs, although conse-quential personal physical or financial damages lead to stronger effects. A rising number of extreme weather events and consequential personal damages in the future might thus further decrease climate change skepticism. Our estimation results additionally reveal that females as well as people in medium ages, with higher household incomes, a lower education, and from Chengdu or Shenyang are more skeptical with respect to global climate change.

description: Phenomena like meat sharing in hunter-gatherers, altruistic self-sacrifice in intergroup conflicts, and contribution to the production of public goods in laboratory experiments have led to the development of numerous theories trying to explain human prosocial preferences and behavior. Many of these focus on direct and indirect reciprocity, assortment, or (cultural) group selection. Here, I investigate analytically how genetic relatedness changes the incentive structure of that paradigmatic game which is conventionally used to model and experimentally investigate collective action problems: the public goods game. Using data on contemporary hunter-gatherer societies I then estimate a threshold value determining when biological altruism turns into maximizing inclusive fitness in this game. I find that, on average, contributing no less than about 40% of individual fitness to public goods production still is an optimal strategy from an inclusive fitness perspective under plausible socio-ecological conditions.

description: With the Kyoto Protocol having come into force on February 16, 2005, participating nations face a pressing deadline to develop systems to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Any form of GHG reduction that includes a trading component will involve a change in the definition and/or allocation of property rights attached to emission credits, and any change in property rights will affect the ability of governments to efficiently reduce GHGs. Creation of property rights for carbon is complicated by the need to balance 1) clear incentives for firms to invest in emissions reduction with 2) unintentional creation of a lasting right to pollute. In particular, Canada’s federalist system poses some unique difficulties for policy makers in designing property rights over carbon. The purpose of this article is to explore the role of property rights in economic GHG reduction schemes, specifically in terms of jurisdiction and allocation, and their relationship to economic efficiency. The article identifies and discusses a number of property rights issues that need to be addressed when establishing an emissions trading regime in Canada.
Three essays in supply chain management

description: The three essays in this thesis address various problems in the general area of supply chain management. In general, supply chain management is concerned with management of the flow of goods, information, and funds among supply chain members, such as suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and consumers. As such, its scope includes timing and quantity of material flow, logistics, improving efficiencies in problems with several decision makers, etc. The first essay in this thesis considers the problem of improving coordination in a decentralized system of retailers, while the second one addresses stability and profitability of Internet-based supply exchange alliances. The third essay analyzes a logistics problem, of finding an optimal route for a capacitated vehicle which travels on a graph and which can perform pickups and deliveries. In the first essay, we study a three-stage model of a decentralized distribution system with n retailers who each faces a stochastic demand for an identical product. In the first stage, before the demand is realized, each retailer independently orders her initial inventory. In the second stage, after the realization of the demand, each retailer decides what portion of her residual supply/demand she wants to share with the other retailers. In the third stage, residual inventories are transshipped in order to possibly meet residual demands, and an additional profit is allocated among the retailers. We study the effect of implementing various allocations rules in the third stage on the levels of the residual supply/demand the retailers are willing to share with others in the second stage, and the tradeoff involved in achieving a solution which is also optimal for the corresponding centralized system. The second essay is concerned with the formation of Internet-based supply exchange alliances among three or fewer retailers of possibly substitutable products. We provide some conditions, in terms of product substitutability and quality of suppliers, which would lead to the formation of a three member alliance, or a two member alliance, or no alliance at all. We also study the effect of alliance structure and quality of suppliers on the profit of a retailer. The third essay considers a vehicle routing problem with pickups and deliveries (VRPD problem) on some special graphs. Some vertices on the graph represent delivery customers, and other vertices represent pickup customers. The objective is to find a minimum length tour for a capacitated vehicle, which starts at a depot and travels on the graph while satisfying all the requests by the customers without violating the vehicle capacity constraint, and returns to a depot. We have developed linear time algorithms for the VRPD problem on a path and on tree graphs, linear and O (|V| log |V|) algorithm for a VRPD problem defined on a path with parametric initial capacity, and quadratic and O (|V|² log |V|) algorithms for a VRPD problem defined over a cycle graph.

description: The role of state trading enterprises (STEs) is significant for international trade, especially since the Uruguay Round. They account for large shares of world trade in certain products: about 40 percent for wheat and 30 percent for dairy products (WTO, 2000). This article examines the influence of STEs on the development of the agricultural sector in developing countries. During both the Uruguay Round and Doha Round negotiations, there have been serious complaints from developing countries that the operation of STEs is trade distorting and creates serious obstacles to agricultural development.
