description: Comet 49P/Arend-Rigaux is a well known low-activity Jupiter Family comet. Despite the low activity, we have witnessed outgassing activity in 1992, 2004, and 2012. In 2012 a broad tail-like feature (PA$\sim270^\circ, \sim2.3\times10^5$ km) and a narrow jet-like feature (PA$\sim180^\circ, \sim9.3\times10^4$ km) were seen simultaneously. Using Finson-Probstein (FP) dust dynamical models we determine: grain sizes released in each event; duration of activity; when activity peaked; and velocity of the dust particles, allowing us to make comparisons between the events. We find that the tail feature in 2012 is similar to the tail in 1992 with large grains (40-4000 $μ$m) peaking in activity near perihelion with a long outgassing duration greater than 150 days. The jet feature from 2012, however, is more similar to the 2004 event which we model with small grains (1-8 $μ$m) with a short duration of activity ($\sim$1 month). The main difference between these two features is that the 2004 event occurs prior to perihelion, while the 2012 event is post-perihelion. We use the grain sizes from the FP models to constrain ice sublimation models. Between 1985 and 2018 we cover 6 apparitions with 26 nights of our own observations plus data from the literature and the Minor Planet Center, which together, allow us to model the heliocentric light curve. We find that the models are consistent with H$_2$O ice sublimation as the volatile responsible for driving activity over most of the active phases and a combination of H$_2$O and CO$_2$ ices are responsible for driving activity near perihelion. We measure the fractional active area over time for H$_2$O and discover that the activity decreases from an average active area of $\sim3\%$ to $\sim0.2\%$. This secular decrease in activity implies that the comet is becoming depleted of volatiles and is in the process of transitioning to a dormant or dead state.

description: We consider transformations between attractor basins of binary cylindrical cellular automata resulting from mutations. A t-point mutation of a state consists in toggling t sites in that state. Results of such mutations are described by a rule-dependent probability matrix. The structure of this matrix is studied in relation to the structure of the state transition diagram and several theorems relating these are proved for the case of additive rules. It is shown that the steady state of the Markov process defined by the probability matrix is always the uniform distribution over the state transition diagram. Some results on eigenvalues are also obtained.

description: Concern over the safety and nutritional quality of many processed foods has been heightened by reports on food additives, preservatives, and carcinogens. A 1976 USDA survey indicated that many consumers were changing their diets because of existing health problems or concerns about preventing future health problems. Individuals who had altered their diets were concerned about preservatives, artificial sweeteners, food colorings, and flavor enhancers in food and beverages. During the mid- to late-1960's natural foods were considered a passing fad. Today, natural foods have become a part of our national eating habits. That people are demanding more natural food is evidenced by the dramatic rise in the number of health/natural food stores in the last 10 years, increasing from 1,200 in 1968 to over 6,600 in 1978. And it is reported that new stores are still opening at the rate of 400 per year. Total store sales increased from $170 million in 1970 to $1.6 billion in 1978 and are projected to reach $3 billion by 1990. Though the health/natural foods market is growing, sales of $1.6 billion in 1978 represented only 0.9 percent of total U.S. grocery store food sales that year ($179.6 billion). And the 6,600 health/natural food stores accounted for only 4 percent of grocery stores. In an effort to share in the flourishing natural foods business, many conventional grocery stores are stocking health/natural food products or have added a separate section devoted entirely to health/natural foods.

description: We report on the multi-frequency timing observations of 21 pulsars discovered in the LOFAR Tied-Array All-Sky Survey (LOTAAS). The timing data were taken at central frequencies of 149 MHz (LOFAR) as well as 334 and 1532 MHz (Lovell Telecope). The sample of pulsars includes 20 isolated pulsars and the first binary pulsar discovered by the survey, PSR J1658$+$3630. We modelled the timing properties of the pulsars, which showed that they have, on average, larger characteristic ages. We present the pulse profiles of the pulsars across the three observing bands, where PSR J1643$+$1338 showed profile evolution that appears not to be well-described by the radius-to-frequency-mapping model. Furthermore, we modelled the spectra of the pulsars across the same observing bands, using a simple power law, and found an average spectral index of $-1.9 \pm 0.5$. Amongst the pulsars studied here, PSR J1657$+$3304 showed large flux density variations of a factor of 10 over 300 days, as well as mode changing and nulling on timescales of a few minutes. We modelled the rotational and orbital properties of PSR J1658$+$3630, which has a spin period of 33 ms in a binary orbit of 3.0 days with a companion of minimum mass of 0.87$M_{\odot}$, likely a Carbon-Oxygen or Oxygen-Neon-Magnesium type white dwarf. PSR J1658$+$3630 has a dispersion measure of 3.0 pc cm$^{-3}$, making it possibly one of the closest binary pulsars known.

description: We use extensive multi-wavelength photometric data from the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) to estimate photometric redshifts for a sample of 434 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts in the Chandra Deep Field South. Using the Bayesian method, which incorporates redshift/magnitude priors, we estimate photometric redshifts for galaxies in the range 18 < R (AB) < 25.5, giving an rms scatter of 0.11. The outlier fraction is < 10%, with the outlier-clipped rms being 0.047. We examine the accuracy of photometric redshifts for several, special sub--classes of objects. The results for extremely red objects are more accurate than those for the sample as a whole, with rms of 0.051 and very few outliers (3%). Photometric redshifts for active galaxies, identified from their X-ray emission, have a dispersion of 0.104, with 10% outlier fraction, similar to that for normal galaxies. Employing a redshift/magnitude prior in this process seems to be crucial in improving the agreement between photometric and spectroscopic redshifts.

Epimachus fastosus stresemanni Hartert, 1930: 34 (Schraderberg).
Now Epimachus fastosus atratus Rothschild and Hartert, 1911. See Mayr, 1962d: 191; Gilliard, 1969: 137–141; Diamond, 1969: 31–36; Coates, 1990: 444–445; Cracraft, 1992: 19; Frith and Beehler, 1998: 357–365; and Frith and Frith, 2009b: 479.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 677964, adult male, collected on Schrader Mountain (= Schraderberg), 05.00S, 144.05E (PNG, 1984), Madang Province, Papua New Guinea, on 13 June 1913, by Joseph Bürgers (no. 2094). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert mentioned that Bürgers had collected 17 specimens of Epimachus fastosus on the Schraderberg and that Stresemann (1923: 34– 35) had reported on the collection. Hartert designated Bürgers’ adult male specimen no. 2094 as the holotype of stresemanni. Two specimens listed by Stresemann (1923: 34) have no Bürgers’ numbers given. These are probably the two specimens now in AMNH. According to Rothschild’s partial list of exchanges in the AMNH Department of Ornithology Archives, he received two specimens of Epimachus atrata on exchange from ZMB on 3 September 1921, and these were probably not available to Stresemann when his manuscript was readied for publication. The paratypes are AMNH 677965 (Bürgers’ no. 1730), immature male, collected on the Schraderberg on 27 May 1913, as well as the 15 specimens that were in ZMB. Steinheimer (2005: 15) found that there are now only 14 paratypes in ZMB, with the missing specimen apparently the immature male with Bürgers’ no. 2022.
The sex of the paratype in AMNH had been recorded on the Rothschild Collection label as female, but an upside-down female symbol (= ♂) is used on the original label of both the adult male holotype and this paratype. The AMNH number of the holotype was given incorrectly as 6777964 by Frith and Beehler (1998: 360).
Long considered a poorly differentiated subspecies, stresemanni was synonymized with atrata by Cracraft (1992: 19) and later authors have agreed.

Ohmic dissipation in the Earth's outer core resulting from the free inner core nutation

description: The diurnal tidal forces can excite a normal mode of the Earth's core, the free inner core nutation (FICN), which is characterized by a tilt of the rotation axis of the inner core with respect to the rotation axis of the outer core. The differential rotation between the inner core and the outer core induces fluid motions in the outer core and gives rise to Ohmic dissipation in the presence of the Earth's internal magnetic field. Nutation measurements can reflect such dissipation if it is sufficiently strong and thus can provide insights into the properties and dynamics of the Earth's core. In this study we perform a set of numerical calculations of the linear perturbations in the outer core induced by the FICN at very low Ekman numbers (as small as $10^{-11}$). Our numerical results show that the back-reaction of the magnetic field notably alters the structure and length scale of the perturbations induced by the FICN, and thus influences the Ohmic dissipation resulting from the perturbations. When the Ekman number is sufficiently small, Ohmic dissipation tends to be insensitive to the fluid viscosity and to the magnetic diffusivity, which allows us to estimate the Ohmic dissipation associated with the FICN without relying on an extrapolation. In contrast to the results of Buffett (2010b), the estimated Ohmic dissipation based on our numerical calculations is too weak to account for the observed damping of the FICN mode. This also implies that nutation measurements cannot provide effective constraints on the strength of the magnetic field inside the Earth's outer core.

description: Purpose: Medication non-adherence is a well-recognised problem in cancer care, negatively impacting health outcomes and healthcare resources. Patient-related factors influencing medication adherence (MA) are complicated and interrelated. There is a need for qualitative research to better understand their underlying interaction processes and patients’ needs to facilitate the development of effective patient-tailored complex interventions. This study aimed to explore experiences, perceptions, and needs relating to MA and side effect management of patients who are self-administering anti-cancer treatment. Methods: Semi-structured audio-recorded interviews with patients who have haematological cancer were conducted. A comparative, iterative, and predominantly inductive thematic analysis approach was employed. Results: Twenty-five patients from a specialist cancer hospital were interviewed. While self-administering cancer medications at home, patients’ motivation to adhere was affected by cancer-related physical reactions, fears, cancer literacy and beliefs, and healthcare professional (HCP) and informal support. Patients desired need for regular follow-ups from respectful, encouraging, informative, responsive, and consistent HCPs as part of routine care. Motivated patients can develop high adherence and side effect self-management over time, especially when being supported by HCPs and informal networks. Conclusion: Patients with cancer need varied support to medically adhere to and manage side effects at home. HCPs should adapt their practices to meet the patients’ expectations to further support them during treatment. We propose a multi-dimensional and technology- and theory-based intervention, which incorporates regular HCP consultations providing tailored education and support to facilitate and maintain patient MA and side effect self-management.

description: This paper reviews the literature on applied general equilibrium analysis of agricultural and resource policies. It begins with an historical overview, followed by an assessment of the benefits of this methodology for examining sectoral policies. The chapter then turns to questions of disaggregation of commodities, households, regions and factors of production. Parameter specification and model closure are discussed, as well as problems of modeling policies which affect agriculture. There are also special sections on agriculture and the environment, product differentiation and imperfect competition and model validation. The paper closes with a discussion of future challenges to the field.

Το global longitudinal strain (GLS) έχει αναδειχθεί βιβλιογραφικά από τους σημαντικότερους παράγοντες εξ αυτών. Παρομοίως στα πλαίσια της μελέτης μας, δόθηκε ιδιαίτερη έμφαση σε αυτή την παράμετρο, όπως αυτή ποσοτικοποιείται με την νεότερη τεχνική CMR-feature tracking, τόσο στην δεξιά κοιλία όσο και στο δεξιό κόλπο. Το κύριο εύρημα της παρούσας μελέτης είναι ότι οι παράμετροι παραμόρφωσης του δεξιού κόλπου (RA) και της δεξιάς κοιλίας (RV) επηρεάζονται σημαντικά στους ασθενείς των ομάδων πνευμονικής υπέρτασης που μελετήσαμε σε σύγκριση με υγιή δείγματα ελέγχου. Η ελάττωση του RV και RA GLS σχετίστηκε σημαντικά με αυξημένο κίνδυνο κλινικής επιδείνωσης, ενώ είχε επιπρόσθετη αξία στην πρόγνωση κλινικής επιδείνωσης σε ένα πολυπαραγοντικό μοντέλο που συμπεριλάμβανε τη λειτουργική κατάταξη κατά WHO και τις τιμές NT-proBNP. Η παρούσα μελέτη καταδεικνύει την συνεισφορά της εκτίμησης της πρώιμης έκπτωσης των παραγόντων παραμόρφωσης, ιδιαίτερα της δεξιάς κοιλίας, στην πρόγνωση ασθενών με πνευμονική υπέρταση, όσο και τον σημαντικό ρόλο της διατήρησης της συσταλτικότητας του δεξιού κόλπου σ’ αυτή την κατηγορία των ασθενών.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the additive value of right ventricular and right atrial deformation parameters on cardiac magnetic resonance, by the use of latest imaging techniques, and whether they can aid in the assessment of the prognosis in patients with pulmonary hypertension. Global longitudinal strain has emerged, according to the literature, as one of the most important strain parameter. Similarly, in our study we focused on this by the use of a novel technique, CMR-feature tracking, both for right ventricle (RV) and right atrium (RA). The main finding of our study was that RV and RA deformation parameters were significantly impaired in patients with pulmonary hypertension in comparison with healthy controls. Reduced right atrial and right ventricular GLS correlated significantly with increased risk of clinical failure. Adding RV GLS and RA GLS to the multivariate Cox model including NT-proBNP and WHO functional status had significant additive value. This study confirms the additional prognostic role of deformation assessment, especially for right ventricular early deterioration, in patients with pulmonary hypertension, as well as the important role of right atrial function preservation in this category of patients.
Employability of arts graduates in the “knowledge economy” : an exploration with implications for practice

Year: 2013

description: Liberal arts graduates’ experience “delayed workplace integration and professional recognition” (Adamuti-Trache, Hawkey, Schuetze, & Glickman, 2006, p.67). This essay explores the issue of employability for liberal arts students and graduates in the context of “knowledge economy” and the increasingly contingent culture of employment. It starts by presenting the problem of liberal art graduate employability as commonly framed through a discussion of underemployment. It then explores issues of employability at the conjunction of the knowledge economy and the contingent culture. It argues that while individual students are compelled to take responsibilities for developing their employability, the notion of employability is often structurally defined. Brown’s (2003) concept of the opportunity trap in education is used to grapple with structural inequities within the labour market in connection to higher education. Impacts of employability discourse and the social and structural limitations of employability are discussed. Current school to work transitional programs in experiential learning, including cooperative education are explored with examples from the University of British Columbia. Suggestions for practice are made for key stakeholders including higher education intuitions, employers, students and graduates.

description: This paper discusses future directions in global trade analysis from the perspective of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) network. The first section offers a projection of where the GTAP network might be in the year 2010. This is followed by an analysis of the basic drivers of change in global trade analysis. These include: network externalities and the push for greater openness in both modeling and database work. The second half of the paper revisits John Whalley's "Hidden Challenges" for applied general equilibrium analysis, discussing how well we have fared with respect to these challenges, first posed in 1986. The paper closes with some additional challenges for global trade analysis in the coming decade.

Documentation of inquiry-based learning : fostering a sense of wonder, curiousity and imagination in the primary years
Creators: name: Timothy, Kim Marie
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The popularity of the Reggio Emilia approach of teaching and learning has increased in early childhood classrooms throughout British Columbia in recent years (Early Learning Framework, 2006). While many early childhood educators have embraced the Reggio approach to documentation of inquiry-based learning, it does not appear to be practiced by the majority of primary educators within my district. This project will investigate how pedagogical documentation of inquiry-based learning has the ability to foster a sense of wonder, spontaneity and imagination in the primary classroom (Kocher, 2009; Malaguzzi, 1998; Rinaldi 2006). More specifically, it identifies certain aspects of documenting inquiry-based investigations that help children gain insight into their own learning through the development of collaboration skills, perseverance, critical thinking and problem-solving strategies (Katz & Chard, 2000). This project also explores how documentation has the power to open up communication with parents, families, administrators and teachers, thus creating stronger community relationships (Malaguzzi, 1993; Vecchi, 2009). Practical examples of inquiry-based learning projects are explored through the creation and implementation of a classroom blog. Through the process of documentation, the history of children’s learning is acknowledged, valued and invites further conversations. Consequently, public space is opened for educators to address the importance of children being intrinsically attached to their own investigations, and as a result, are better able to meet their individual potential at each stage of development.

description: Following the paper exploring the Anderson localization of monochromatically perturbed kicked quantum maps [Phys.Rev. E{\bf 97},012210], the delocalization-localization transition phenomena in polychromatically perturbed quantum maps (QM) is investigated focusing particularly on the dependency of critical phenomena upon the number $M$ of the harmonic perturbations, where $M+1=d$ corresponds to the spatial dimension of the ordinary disordered lattice. The standard map and the Anderson map are treated and compared. As the basis of analysis, we apply the self-consistent theory (SCT) of the localization, taking a plausible hypothesis on the mean-free-path parameter which worked successfully in the analyses of the monochromatically perturbed QMs. We compare in detail the numerical results with the predictions of the SCT, by largely increasing $M$. The numerically obtained index of critical subdiffusion $t^α$~($t$:time) agrees well with the prediction of one-parameter scaling theory $α=2/(M+1)$, but the numerically obtained critical exponent of localization length significantly deviates from the SCT prediction. Deviation from the SCT prediction is drastic for the critical perturbation strength of the transition: if $M$ is fixed the SCT presents plausible prediction for the parameter dependence of the critical value, but its value is $1/(M-1)$times smaller than the SCT prediction, which implies existence of a strong cooperativity of the harmonic perturbations with the main mode.

Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: Presented at the Second Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis Recent research in applications of entropy theory to matrix balancing problems in economics has put powerful new tools in the hands of data base developers, but overshadowed some previous findings. We recall earlier findings that the RAS is an entropy-theoretic model. Investigating the properties of a more recently proposed entropy-theoretic model, we find that in general the RAS remains preferable. We show further that the RAS can be obtained also as a generalized cross-entropy model. Finally, we present examples illustrating how entropy-theoretic techniques can extend the RAS to handle a wider range of problems.

description: In a previous paper the \textit{real} evolution of the system of ODEs \ddot{z}_{n} + z_{n}=\sum\limits_{m = 1, m \ne n}^{N} g_{nm}{(z_{n} - z_{m})} ^{- 3}, z_{n} \equiv z_{n}(t), \qquad \dot {z}_{n} \equiv \frac{d z_{n}(t)}{dt}, \qquad n = 1,...,N is discussed in C_{N}, namely the N dependent variables z_{n}, as well as the N(N - 1) (arbitrary!) ``coupling constants'' g_{nm}, are considered to be \textit{complex} numbers, while the independent variable t (``time'') is \textit{real}. In that context it was proven that there exists, in the phase space of the initial data z_{n}(0), \dot {z}_{n} (0), an open domain having \textit{infinite} measure, such that \textit{all} trajectories emerging from it are \textit{completely periodic} with period 2π, z_{n} (t + 2π) = z_{n}(t). In this paper we investigate, both by analytical techniques and via the display of numerical simulations, the remaining solutions, and in particular we show that there exist many -- emerging out of sets of initial data having nonvanishing measures in the phase space of such data -- that are also \textit{completely periodic} but with periods which are \textit{integer multiples} of 2π. We also elucidate the mechanism that yields \textit{nonperiodic} solutions, including those characterized by a ``chaotic'' behavior, namely those associated, in the context of the initial-value problem, with a \textit{sensitive dependence} on the initial data.

description: Much remains to be done before agricultural trade is as liberal as world trade in manufactures. But agriculture is distorted by more than agricultural policies. In developing countries especially, farming is discouraged not only by farm protection policies in high-income countries but also by those countries' own manufacturing policies and distortions to services markets. This paper explores the extent to which multilateral liberalization of not only farm but also non-farm policies would affect welfare and the markets for farm products. It projects the global economy to 2005, when the Uruguay Round (UR) implementation will be complete, and assesses the potential impact of further cuts from that post-UR base. This is done using a modified version of the GTAP model of global trade, assuming 40% cuts in protection in agriculture, mining and manufacturing, and services. Results suggest agricultural and industrial liberalizations could yield similar-sized benefits for the global economy in 2005. However, the distributions of gains from those cuts are quite different as between rich and poor countries. We also examine the interaction between non-agricultural reforms and agricultural trade balances. For some regions, most notably for China, non-agricultural reforms dominate and reverse the sign of the change in the food trade balance following liberalization of both farm and non-farm trade. This suggests policy makers concerned with food and agriculture need to give attention also to non-agricultural policy reforms.

description: (abridged) We present ALMA observations of hydrogen fluoride, HF J=1-0, H20 (220-211), and the 1.2 THz rest-frame continuum emission from the z=4.7 system BR1202-0725. BR1202-0725 is a galaxy group consisting of a QSO, a sub-millimeter galaxy (SMG), and two Ly-alpha emitters. We detected HF in emission in the QSO and possibly in absorption in the SMG, while water is detected in emission in both the QSO and SMG. The QSO is the most luminous HF emitter yet found and has the same ratio of HF emission line to infrared luminosity as a sample of local AGN and the Orion Bar. This consistency covers about 10 orders-of-magnitude in infrared luminosity, L_IR. Based on the conclusions of a study of HF emission in the Orion Bar and modeling, the HF emission in the QSO is either excited by collisions with electrons and H2 in molecular plasmas irradiated by the AGN and intense star formation or predominately by collisions with H2, with a modest contribution from electrons, in a relatively high temperature (~120 K), dense (~10^5 cm^-3) medium. Although HF should be an excellent tracer of molecular outflows, we do not find strong evidence for outflows in HF in either the QSO or the SMG. From a putative absorption feature in HF in the SMG, we estimate an upper limit on the outflow rate, dM/dt_outflow 4 kpc) is significantly more disturbed and turbulent due either to interactions and mass exchange with the other members of the group or to the dissipation of the energy of the intense star formation or both. The lack of significant molecular outflows in either source may imply that much of the energy from the intense star formation and AGN activity in this pair is being dissipated in their ISM.

description: BACKGROUND: Prevention and Recovery Care services are residential sub-acute services in Victoria, Australia, guided by a commitment to recovery-oriented practice. The evidence regarding the effectiveness of this service model is limited, largely relying on small, localised evaluations. This study involved a state-wide investigation into the personal recovery, perceived needs for care, well-being and quality-of-life outcomes experienced by Prevention and Recovery Care services' consumers. METHODS: A longitudinal cohort design examined the trajectory of self-reported personal recovery and other outcomes for consumers in 19 Victorian Prevention and Recovery Care services over 4 time points (T1 - 1 week after admission; T2 - within 1 week of discharge; T3 - 6 months after discharge; T4 - 12 months after discharge). T2-T4 time frames were extended by approximately 3 weeks due to recruitment challenges. The Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery was the primary outcome measure. RESULTS: At T1, 298 consumers were recruited. By T4, 114 remained in the study. Participants scored higher on the Questionnaire about the Process of Recovery at all three time points after T1. There were also sustained improvements on all secondary outcome measures. Improvements were then sustained at each subsequent post-intervention time point. Community inclusion and having needs for care met also improved. CONCLUSION: The findings provide a consistent picture of benefits for consumers using Prevention and Recovery Care services, with significant improvement in personal recovery, quality of life, mental health and well-being following an admission to a Prevention and Recovery Care service. Further attention needs to be given to how to sustain the gains made through a Prevention and Recovery Care service admission in the long term.

description: The paper proposes a new disequilibrium approach to modeling international capital mobility for a dynamic multi- region general equilibrium model. Key to this approach are errors in investorsâ€™ assessments of potential returns to capital, such as those recently observed in Asia. The investment theory, compatible with a simple recursive solution procedure, ensures the convergence of the model towards a stable equilibrium, brings realism into the analysis of international capital mobility and flexibility in tailoring to empirical data. The paper discusses two numerical examples, demonstrating the long- run convergence of the model and the dynamic adjustment to a deeper, longer crisis in Asia.
Classification of phase transitions and ensemble inequivalence, in systems with long range interactions

description: Systems with long range interactions in general are not additive, which can lead to an inequivalence of the microcanonical and canonical ensembles. The microcanonical ensemble may show richer behavior than the canonical one, including negative specific heats and other non-common behaviors. We propose a classification of microcanonical phase transitions, of their link to canonical ones, and of the possible situations of ensemble inequivalence. We discuss previously observed phase transitions and inequivalence in self-gravitating, two-dimensional fluid dynamics and non-neutral plasmas. We note a number of generic situations that have not yet been observed in such systems.

description: The East Asian crisis is not all bad news for the United States and Canada (North America). Net debtors in North America â€“ be they individual families refinancing their mortgages, businesses financing their expansion, or the U.S. government financing its debt â€“ should benefit from the crisis, as it continues to put downward pressure on interest rates. While the crisis hurts North American farm exports, it presents opportunities for expansion in North American exports of processed foods. The study estimates that the benefits accruing to North American food producers far outweigh the losses to farmers in the region over the long term.
