Demand and Price Analysis

description: Demand for locally produced papaya (Carica papaya) fruits far outweighs supply in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Due to constraints such as mealybug inscite infestation and the high incidence ofpapaya ringspot virus, farmers are in need of varieties which are suitable for local growing conditions. Two papaya germplasm evaluation trials were conducted during 1996-97 and 1997-98. These varieties were evaluated for yield and fruit characteristics, and quality. In both trials, 'Cariflora' set the highest number of fruits and 'Yuen Nong' the lowest. In the first trial, 356-3 was the sweetest with brix of 13.42% and 'Criolla' the lowest with a brix of9.42 %. In the second trial, 'Cartegena' had the heaviest fruits (1510) and 'PR665 dwaf' was the lightest (405 g). The height at first fruit set from both trials ranged from 40 em 'Sunrise x Cariflora' to 221 em, 'Trini Yellow'. Productive papaya varieties can be recommended for fresh market production in the USVI to fulfill the characteristics the consumes desire .
Glycinergic and GABAergic inhibition in ventrobasal nuclei of rat thalamus
Creators: name: Alavian Ghavanini, Ahmad (Amer Ghavanini)
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the major inhibitory systems in ventrobasal nuclei of rat thalamus. The ventrobasal nuclei participate in relay and processing of somatosensory information and generation of thalamocortical rhythms. Inhibitory synaptic responses play an essential role in function of ventrobasal thalamus. A major objective of this thesis is to examine the hypothesis that glycine receptors mediate inhibition in ventrobasal thalamus. The thesis pharmacologically characterizes the synaptic and extrasynaptic inhibition and describes synaptic inhibition originating in nuclei surrounding ventrobasal thalamus. The thesis further characterizes the biophysical properties of glycine and γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors in thalamus. We established that α₁, and α₂ glycine receptor subunits are expressed in the ventrobasal nuclei, using immunohistochemical staining. The functional nature of these subunits was confirmed by demonstrating the effects of glycine receptor agonists on thalamocortical neurons. Functional glycine receptors were likely limited to larger type-1 thalamocortical neurons. Synaptic inhibition evoked from medial lemniscus uncovered a heterogeneous inhibitory input to ventrobasal thalamus. GABAA and glycine receptors mediated synaptic inhibition in a majority of neurons. Inhibition in two minor groups of neurons was exclusively mediated by either GABAA or glycine receptors. Occasionally, there was an additional GABAB component of synaptic inhibition. The medial lemniscal mediated inhibition was likely polysynaptic, and resulted from co-transmission of GABA and glycine. Stimulations within surrounding nuclei evoked monosynaptic inhibition. The highest relative glycinergic strength was evoked from the ethmoid nucleus. Another major finding of these studies was the diverse kinetics of the glycinergic inhibition. The observations were consistent with the activation of two kinetically distinct populations of glycine receptors, segregated under separate nerve terminals. The kinetics of synaptic receptors mirrored the kinetics of extrasynaptic receptors. Synaptic channels displayed higher Cl⁻ permeability than their extrasynaptic counterparts. These studies involved examination of previous methods. The specificity of strychnine was investigated and the optimal concentration for discrimination between glycine and GABAA receptors was established. Synaptic currents were simulated to examine the sources of error in non-stationary fluctuation analysis. This procedure resulted in an improved method for non-stationary fluctuation analysis. In summary, this thesis unveils the heterogeneous nature of synaptic inhibition in somatosensory thalamus. The findings open frontiers in the research and development of new drugs targeting glycinergic inhibition in the thalamus.
Neutral Hydrogen in the Interacting Magellanic Spirals NGC 4618/4625

description: Asymmetry is a common trait in spiral galaxies and is particularly frequent among Magellanic spirals. To explore how morphological and kinematic asymmetry are affected by companion galaxies, we analyze neutral hydrogen observations of the interacting Magellanic spirals NGC 4618 and 4625. The analysis of the H I distribution revealed that about 10% of the total H I mass of NGC 4618 resides in a looping tidal structure that appears to wrap all the way around the galaxy. Through calculations based on derived H I profiles, we show that NGC 4618 and 4625 are no more asymmetric than non-interacting Magellanic spirals analyzed by Wilcots & Prescott (2004). We also derive rotation curves for the approaching and receding sides of each galaxy. By fitting the mean curves with an isothermal halo model, we calculate dynamical masses of 4.7 times 10^{9} M_sun and 9.8 times 10^{9} M_sun out to 6.7 kpc, for NGC 4618 and 4625 respectively. While the rotation curves had systematically higher velocities on the receding side of each galaxy, the effect was no more pronounced than in studies of non-interacting spirals (Swaters et. al. 1999). The degree of interaction-driven asymmetry in both galaxies is indistinguishable from the intrinsic degree of asymmetry of lopsided galaxies.

description: This paper will present the results of a nitrogen and sulfur fertilizer trial on bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum). Treatments consisted of two forms of nitrogen (ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate), three rates of nitrogen (0, 75, and 150 kg N/ha/yr) and three rates of sulfur (0, 86,174 kg S/ha/yr) applied to an established stand of bahiagrass grown on a Florida Alfisol soil. Bahiagrass yields, quality and digestibility increased with increasing rates of nitrogen and sulfur. Highest yields were obtained with ammonium sulfate as compared to ammonium nitrate. This study has demonstrated that addition of sulfur is advantages for bahiagrass grown on coarse textured soils deficient in sulfur and that ammonium sulfate may be a better source of nitrogen for bahiagrass.

description: We present the relativistic analogue of Anderson localization in one dimension. We use Dirac equation to calculate the transmission probability for a spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particle incident upon a rectangular barrier. Using the transfer matrix formalism, we numerically compute the transmission probability for the case of a large number of identical barriers spread randomly in one dimension. The particular case when the incident particle has three component momentum and shows spin-flip phenomena is also considered. Our calculations suggest that the incident relativistic particle shows localization behaviour similar to that of Anderson localization. A number of results which are generalizations of the non-relativistic case are also obtained.

We discuss the spectral features which may be associated with dark matter annihilation in the positron spectrum and assess the prospects for observing such features in future experiments. Although we focus on some specific dark matter candidates, neutralinos and Kaluza-Klein states, we carry out our study in a model independent fashion. We also revisit the positron spectrum observed by HEAT.

description: Studies were conducted to compare the effects of various mulch types on the growth and yield of parsley (Petroselinum sativumi and chives (Allium schoenoprasum L.). The mulch treatments were black fabric (weed barrier), silver plastic, white plastic, grass straw and a non-mulch bare treatment. Data on plant height, fresh and dry matter yields were collected for each crop at harvest. Weed population and weed weight were determined before each weeding operation., which was usually performed weekly. Results for both crops indicated that all mulches significantly reduced the number and biomass of weeds compared with the plots without mulch. The various mulch types also significantly influenced plant height, total fresh yields and dry matter yields. The straw mulch plots consistently produced higher yields of both fresh and dry parsley and chives. Production of chives from the white plastic mulch plots was the lowest ofall the mulches and were similar to the plots without mulch. The results of these studies indlicate that the use of locally available grass (straw) as mulch has potential for increasing production of parsley and chives in the Virgin Islands.

description: Moiré patterns are known to confine electronic states in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers, thus generalizing the notion of magic angles discovered in twisted bilayer graphene to semiconductors. Here, we present a revised Slater-Koster tight-binding model that facilitates the first reliable and systematic studies of such states in twisted bilayer MoS$_2$ for the whole range of rotation angles $θ$. We show that isolated bands appear at low energy for $θ\lesssim 5 - 6^\circ$. Moreover, these bands become "flatbands", characterized by a vanishing average velocity, for the smallest angles $θ\lesssim 2^\circ$.

description: Both local poinsettia (Xmas snowflake, Euphorbia leucocephala Lotsy ) and the traditional imported poinsettia (E.pulcherrima Willd) can beproduced as potted plants for Christmas in the U.S.,Virgin Islands. Xmas snowflakes can be grown from seed in August and forced to flower by December 19 using a combination of pruning and Cycocel drench at 300Oppm. No imposed photoperiod is required thus reducing cost ofproduction. Traditional poinsettia ofthe 'Annette Hegg' type can also be forced but require the application of much more potent growth retardants and the imposition of short days if they are to flower in time for the Xmas market. The Red 'AB' required the application of Uniconazole (UZ) at 025mg.liter-' for the production of the most attractive plants while the White 'AB' flowered best when treated wiith Paclobutrazol (PZ) at Img.liter'. The 'AB' types necessitated the imposition ofartificial short days from 8am to 5pm using black shade cloth starting on November 1 for optimum bract development and coloration.

description: In the High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) program, during the next years, the instantaneous luminosity will increase up to 5 $\times$ 10$^{34}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ which means a factor five higher than the nominal LHC. In that period, the present CMS Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC) system will be subjected to background rates higher than those for which the detectors have been designed, which could affect the detector properties and induce aging effects. To study whether the present RPC system can sustain the hard background conditions during the HL-LHC running period, a dedicated longevity test is ongoing at the CERN Gamma Irradiation Facility, where a few spare RPCs are exposed to high gamma radiation for a long term period to mimic the HL-LHC operational conditions. During the longevity test, the main detector parameters are continuously monitored as a function of the integrated charge. Preliminary results of the study, after having collected a sufficient amount of the expected integrated charge at HL-LHC, will be presented.

The data consist of events with an energetic electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and three or more hadronic jets, at least one of which is identified as a b-quark jet by reconstructing a secondary vertex. The background fraction is determined from a fit of the transverse energy of the leading jet. Using 162+-10 /pb of data, the total cross section is found to be 6.0+-1.6(stat.)+-1.2(syst.) pb, which is consistent with the Standard Model prediction.

description: While transplanting onions is practiced widely in tropical and temperate regions, in Jamaica this practice is unconunon as an alternative method of planting. A study was conducted at the BodIes Research Station from September 1997 to March 1998. to determine the optimum transplant age for bulb yield, and to compare yields of direct seeded and transplanted onions. Yields of the former were higher but the difference was not significant(p;oO.0092).Highly significant interactions ofmean yields among cultivars were found. At both transplanting dates, significantly higher percentages ofdouble bulbs were produced with direct seeding. The survival rate ofplants was highest for direct seeding (81%) and lowest for transplanting at six weeks (66%). There were significant differences between planting methods and among cultivars with respect to bulb size.
Equity in health, health care services use and health care financing in British Columbia, 1992 and 2002
Creators: name: McGrail, Kimberlyn Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The objectives of this thesis are to identify equity objectives in the stated intentions of the health care system in British Columbia, and then to assess the extent to which the system appears to be meeting those objectives. The primary equity principle that emerges through an historical review of legislation and policy documents is the intent to deliver hospital and physician services based on need rather than ability to pay. A principle of equity that is equally important but gets much less attention is a separation between contributions to financing and the use of physician and hospital services. More contentious is how that financing should be shared across income groups. An analysis of health status, health care services use and health care financing in British Columbia in 1992 and 2002 shows that, as expected, health status increases with increasing income. Health care services are largely provided according to need, though the use of surgical day care services became more likely among higher income groups over that decade. In contrast, admission to an acute inpatient facility is more likely for lower-income individuals; lower income groups also use more inpatient acute services, on average, once admitted. Financing for the physician and hospital sectors in B.C. comes from general tax revenues. There were many changes in taxes during this decade; nevertheless, contributions to health care financing were distributed across income groups in about the same way in 1992 and 2002. The analyses here show the tax system is only mildly progressive, meaning that higher income groups contribute only a slightly higher proportion of income to taxes. This finding is at odds with the perception of the general public, which appears to believe that physician and hospital services are (and should be) financed through progressive taxation, more like what is seen with income taxes. Further changes in the physician and hospital sectors and in the health care system overall have the potential to erode equity currently in the system. If there is a commitment to principles of equity, better measures and more monitoring of achievements will be important as these changes continue.
title: The Volcanic Evolution of Syrtis Major Planum, Mars
Creators: name: Fawdon, Peter
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This thesis explores the geological history of the Syrtis Major Planum volcanic province on Mars. The primary aims are (i) to differentiate the various units that make up the lava plain of Syrtis Major Planum, (ii) to investigate the formation of the central caldera complex, and (iii) to understand how the volcanic architecture has evolved over time in the regional contex. The methodology applied is that of planetary geological mapping using remote sensing data. Two new morpho-stratigraphic maps of Syrtis Major Planum have been produced. Map 1, a 1:2,000,000 scale map, uses 100 m/pixel THEMIS data as the base layer, and draws on 6 m/pixel CTX data to provide additional information. Map 2 is a 1:250,000 scale map of the Nili Patera caldera and uses base layer mosaics of CTX data and CTX Digital Terrain Models. The mapping shows that there were two major phases of magmatism at Syrtis Major. The first phase (~3.6 Ga Ã¢â‚¬â€œ ~3.2 Ga) consisted of tube-fed lava plains interleaved with giant (>300 km) tabular lava flows emplaced from the centre of the planum. By the end of this phase, a fractionally crystallised magma reservoir, partially melting the hydrated sediments of the underlying Noachian highlands, had developed. The eruptive products of this magma reservoir include an ignimbrite, now exposed in Nili Patera. The second phase of magmatism (~2.7 Ga - ~2.2 Ga) consisted of temporally sporadic volcanism, spatially concentrated in the central caldera complex, and includes two examples of high-silica lava units. These derived from partial melting of the fractionally crystallised magma reservoir in the presence of hydrothermal fluids. The evolution of lava emplacement style and composition over time is best explained by the interaction between the waxing to waning stages of a mantle plume with the underlying Noachian terrain. This interaction led to the distinctive morphology of the volcanic shield, the explosive formation of the calderas, and the unusual compositions found within the central caldera complex. The volcanism of Syrtis Major is therefore defined both by the epoch in which it occurred, and the composition of the crust in which it formed.

description: Diese Videoaufzeichnung und die dazugehörige Präsentation dieses Webinars ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreihe "Forschungsdatenmanagement in Österreich",  die am 02. Oktober 2024 stattfand.

Inhalt: 

Die FAIR-Prinzipien (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) sind mittlerweile die anerkannten Leitlinien im Umgang mit Forschungsdaten und legen den Fokus auf technische und organisatorische Aspekte wie die Annotation von Metadaten, die Veröffentlichung und Registrierung von DOIs sowie die Vergabe von Lizenzen für eine möglichst freie Nachnutzbarkeit. Die möglichst freie Verfügbarkeit und ein freier Datenaustausch sind die gesetzten Ziele.

Die CARE-Prinzipien (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) hingegen stehen für einen angemessenen Umgang mit Daten, die indigene Gemeinschaften betreffen, und sollen die FAIR-Prinzipien ergänzen. Im Gegensatz zu FAIR fokussiert sich CARE nicht auf die Erleichterung des Datenaustauschs, sondern auf die Wahrung der Interessen indigener Gemeinschaften, einer fairen Beteiligung an der Wertschöpfungskette und der Rückgabe von Kontrolle über Daten wie Bildern und Artefakten.

Collective Benefit zielt darauf ab, Daten indigener Gemeinschaften so zu verwenden, dass diese daraus Nutzen bei öffentlichen Entscheidungsprozessen, der Selbstbestimmung und der gerechten Realisierung von generierten Werten haben.

Authority to Control verfolgt das Ziel, die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften an ihren Daten anzuerkennen und zu wahren. Das erstreckt sich über die Erhebung und Nutzung von Daten im Rahmen der Selbstbestimmung bis hin zur aktiven Kontrolle des Zugangs zu Daten indigenen Ursprungs.

Responsibility richtet sich an diejenigen, die mit Daten indigenen Ursprungs arbeiten. Diese müssen belegen, wie sie mit diesen Daten umgehen und welcher Nutzen für die indigene Gemeinschaft daraus entsteht. Die Nutzung indigener Daten verlangt dabei die Sicherstellung eines respekt- und würdevollen Umgangs mit den Daten. Gleichzeitig soll die Data Literacy indigener Gemeinschaften soweit ausgebaut werden, dass diese Daten eigenständig und im Einklang mit ihren Werten erstellen kann.

Der Ethics-Aspekt legt fest, dass die Rechte indigener Gemeinschaften und deren Wohlergehen gewahrt werden. Dazu zählt die Vermeidung von Schaden durch die Datennutzung, ein gerechter Umgang mit dem Ungleichgewicht von Macht und Ressourcen sowie die Berücksichtigung der zukünftigen Datennutzung.

Der Vortrag streift Fragen der Forschungsethik und stellt die CARE-Prinzipien sowie deren praktische Umsetzung vor. Dabei wird die Relevanz von CARE für Forschungsdaten über Daten indigenen Ursprung hinaus skizziert.

description: CMB lensing is a promising, novel way to measure galaxy cluster masses that can be used, e.g., for mass calibration in galaxy cluster counts analyses. Understanding the statistics of the galaxy cluster mass observable obtained with such measurements is essential if their use in subsequent analyses is not to lead to biased results. We study the statistics of a CMB lensing galaxy cluster mass observable for a Planck-like experiment with mock observations obtained from an N-body simulation. We quantify the bias and intrinsic scatter associated with this observable following two different approaches, one in which the signal due to the cluster and nearby correlated large-scale structure is isolated, and another one in which the variation due to uncorrelated large-scale structure is also taken into account. For our first approach we also quantify deviations from log-normality in the scatter, finding them to have a negligible impact on mass calibration for our Planck-like experiment. We briefly discuss how some of our results change for experiments with higher angular resolution and lower noise levels, such as the current generation of surveys obtained with ground-based, large-aperture telescopes.
HI Imaging the Low Red-shift Cosmic Web

description: Only in recent years has the realization emerged that galaxies do not dominate the universal baryon budget but are merely the brightest pearls of an underlying Cosmic Web. Although the gas in these inter-galactic filaments is moderately to highly ionized, QSO absorption lines have shown that the surface area increases dramatically in going down to lower HI column densities. The first image of the Cosmic Web in HI emission has just been made of the Local Group filament connecting M31 and M33. The corresponding HI distribution function is in very good agreement with that of the QSO absorption lines, confirming the 30-fold increase in surface area expected between 10^19 cm^-2 and 10^17 cm^-2. The critical observational challenge is crossing the "HI desert", the range of log(N_HI) from about 19.5 down to 18, over which photo-ionization by the intergalactic radiation field produces an exponential decline in the neutral fraction from essentially unity down to a few percent. Nature is kinder again to the HI observer below log(N_HI)=18, where the neutral fraction decreases only very slowly with log(N_HI). With the SKA we can begin the systematic study of the Cosmic Web beyond the Local Group. With moderate integration times, the necessary resolution and sensitivity can be achieved out to distances beyond the Virgo cluster. When combined with targeted optical and UV absorption line observations, the total baryonic masses and enrichment histories of the Cosmic Web will be determined over the complete range of environmental over-densities.

description: Recent discussions about supernova magnitude evolution have raised doubts about the robustness of the late-universe acceleration. In a previous letter, Huang did a null test of the cosmic acceleration by using a Parameterization based on the cosmic Age (PAge), which covers a broad class of cosmological models including the standard $Λ$ cold dark matter model and its many extensions. In this work, we continue to explore the cosmic expansion history with the PAge approximation. Using baryon acoustic oscillations ({\it without} a CMB prior on the acoustic scale), gravitational strong lens time delay, and passively evolving early galaxies as cosmic chronometers, we obtain $\gtrsim 4σ$ detections of cosmic acceleration for both flat and nonflat PAge universes. In the nonflat case, we find a $\gtrsim 3σ$ tension between the spatial curvatures derived from baryon acoustic oscillations and strong lens time delay. Implications and possible systematics are discussed.

description: Two high-resolution optical spectra of the R Coronae Borealis star UW Cen in decline are discussed. A spectrum from mid-1992 when the star had faded by three magnitudes shows just a few differences with the spectrum at maximum light. The ubiquitous sharp emission lines seen in R CrB at a similar drop below maximum light are absent. In contrast, a spectrum from mid-2002 when the star was five magnitudes below maximum light shows an array of sharp emission lines and a collection of broad emission lines. Comparisons are made with spectra of R CrB obtained during the deep 1995-1996 minimum. The many common features are discussed in terms of a torus-jet geometry.

Lamb waves

description: Lamb waves offer a series of desirable features for SHM-applications, such as the ability to detect small defects, allowing to detect damage at early stages of its evolution. On the downside, their propagation through media with multiple geometrical features results in complicated patterns, which complicate the task of damage detection, thus hindering the realization of their full potential. This is exacerbated by the fact that numerical models for Lamb waves, which could aid in both the prediction and interpretation of such patterns, are computationally expensive. The present paper provides a flexible surrogate to rapidly evaluate the sensor response in scenarios where Lamb waves propagate in plates that include multiple features or defects. To this end, an offline-online ray tracing approach is combined with FRF and transmissibility functions. Each ray is thereby represented either by a parametrized FRF, if the origin of the ray lies in the actuator, or by a parametrized transmissibility function, if the origin of the ray lies in a feature. By exploiting the mechanical properties of propagating waves, it is possible to minimize the number of training simulations needed for the surrogate, thus avoiding the repeated evaluation of large models. The efficiency of the surrogate is demonstrated numerically, through an example, including different types of features, in particular through holes and notches, which result in both reflection and conversion of incident waves.

First-Passage Time Distributions in Two-State Protein Folding Kinetics: Exploring the Native-Like States vs Overcoming the Free Energy Barrier
Creators: name: Chekmarev, Sergei F.

Subjects: subject: Biomolecules (q-bio.BM)

description: Using a beta-hairpin protein as a representative example of two-state folders, we studied how the exploration of native-like states affects the folding kinetics. It has been found that the first-passage time (FPT) distributions are essentially single-exponential not only for the times to overcome the free energy barrier that separates unfolded and native-like states but also for the times to find the native state among the native-like ones. If the protein explores native-like states for a time much longer than the time to overcome the free energy barrier, which was found to be characteristic of high temperatures, the resulting FPT distribution to reach the native state remains close to exponential but the mean FPT (MFPT) is determined not by the height of the free energy barrier but by the time to explore native-like states. The mean time to overcome the free energy barrier is found to be in reasonable agreement with the Kramers rate formula and generally far shorter than the MFPT to reach the native state. The time to find the native state among native-like ones increases with temperature, which explains the known U-shape dependence of the MFPTs on temperature.

About the Casimir scaling hypothesis

description: A lattice calculation shows that the Casimir scaling hypothesis is well verified in QCD, that is to say that the potential between two opposite color charges in a color singlet is proportional to the value of the quadratic Casimir operator. On the other hand, in a bag model calculation for the same system, a scaling of the string tension with the square root of the quadratic Casimir operator is obtained. It is shown that, within the same formalism but with the assumption that the width of the string is independent of the color charges, the string tension is proportional to value of the quadratic Casimir operator. Some considerations about the color behavior of the total interaction are given.

Optimal transport

description: The rapid expansion of ride-sourcing services such as Uber, Lyft, and Didi Chuxing has fundamentally reshaped urban transportation by offering flexible, on-demand mobility via mobile applications. Despite their convenience, these platforms confront significant operational challenges, particularly vehicle rebalancing - the strategic repositioning of thousands of vehicles to address spatiotemporal mismatches in supply and demand. Inadequate rebalancing results in prolonged rider waiting times, inefficient vehicle utilization, and inequitable distribution of services, leading to disparities in driver availability and income.
To tackle these complexities, we introduce scalable continuous-state mean-field control (MFC) and reinforcement learning (MFRL) models that explicitly represent each vehicle's precise location and employ continuous repositioning actions guided by the distribution of other vehicles. To ensure equitable service distribution, an accessibility constraint is integrated within our optimal control formulation, balancing operational efficiency with equitable access to the service across geographic regions. Our approach acknowledges realistic conditions, including inherent stochasticity in transitions, the simultaneous occurrence of vehicle-rider matching, vehicles' rebalancing and cruising, and variability in rider behaviors. Crucially, we relax the traditional mean-field assumption of equal supply-demand volume, better reflecting practical scenarios. Extensive empirical evaluation using real-world data-driven simulation of Shenzhen demonstrates the real-time efficiency and robustness of our approach at the scale of tens of thousands of vehicles.

Economic Impact of Restrictions on Use of Feed Additives in the Poultry Industry

Year: 1980
Subjects: Livestock Production/Industries

description: The possible economic impacts of proposed restrictions on the subtherapeutic level use of penicillin and tetracyclines and a proposed ban on use of nitrofurans in poultry rations were estimated for layers, broilers and turkeys. The 1976 production year was used as the base period. Changes in output levels and production costs associated with changes in production performance accompanying the restrictions were estimated. Two scenarios were evaluated: one in which it was assumed that the breeder flock size was held constant and final output was reduced and one in which there was a buildup in the breeder flock size and the level of final output remained the same. The results indicate that each of the proposed restrictions would result in higher costs per unit of poultry produced and probably less total output. If previous base period output levels were continued after the restrictions were imposed, average production costs could increase as much as 1.5 cents per dozen for eggs, 2.0 cents per pound RTC for broiler meat and 1.5 cents per pound RTC for turkey meat. Total costs of U.S. poultry production could increase as much as $281.5 million. If previous base period breeding flock sizes were maintained, poultry industry output could decrease as much as 350 million dozens of eggs, 1.1 billion pounds RTC broiler meat and 174 million pounds RTC turkey meat. Total production costs, however, could also decrease as much as $269.1 million.

description: We have carried out a new determination of abundances in the very metal-poor CH/CN strong stars CS 29497-34 and CS 22948-27, using high-resolution spectra obtained with the HARPS spectrograph at the 3.6m telescope of ESO, La Silla, that covers the range 400 - 690 nm at a resolution of R = 100,000. Both stars are found to be long period binaries. It is confirmed that the abundance patterns show an enhancement of all the alpha-elements (like Mg, Ca), of the proton capture elements (like Na and Al) and a strong enrichment in "r" and "s" process elements, where the s-enrichment is probably due to a mass transfer episode from a companion in its AGB phase. The possible origins of the abundance pattern and especially of the strong enhancement of both "s" and "r" elements are discussed.
