description: Relying on a recent survey of more than 3300 participants from China, Germany and the US, this paper empirically analyzes citizens’ perceptions of climate change and climate policy, focusing on key guiding principles for sharing mitigation costs across countries. The ranking of the main principles for burden-sharing is identical in China, Germany and the US: accountability followed by capability, egalitarianism, and sover-eignty. Thus, on a general level, citizens across these countries seem to have a com-mon understanding of fairness. We therefore find no evidence that citizens’ (stated) fairness preferences are detrimental to future burden-sharing agreements. While there is heterogeneity in citizens’ perceptions of climate change and climate policy within and across countries, a substantial portion of citizens in all countries perceive a lack of transparency, fairness, and trust in international climate agreements.

description: A graph (digraph) $G=(V,E)$ with a set $T\subseteq V$ of terminals is called inner Eulerian if each nonterminal node $v$ has even degree (resp. the numbers of edges entering and leaving $v$ are equal). Cherkassky and Lovász showed that the maximum number of pairwise edge-disjoint $T$-paths in an inner Eulerian graph $G$ is equal to $\frac12\sum_{s\in T} λ(s)$, where $λ(s)$ is the minimum number of edges whose removal disconnects $s$ and $T-\{s\}$. A similar relation for inner Eulerian digraphs was established by Lomonosov. Considering undirected and directed networks with ``inner Eulerian'' edge capacities, Ibaraki, Karzanov, and Nagamochi showed that the problem of finding a maximum integer multiflow (where partial flows connect arbitrary pairs of distinct terminals) is reduced to $O(\log T)$ maximum flow computations and to a number of flow decompositions. In this paper we extend the above max-min relation to inner Eulerian bidirected and skew-symmetric graphs and develop an algorithm of complexity $O(VE\log T\log(2+V^2/E))$ for the corresponding capacitated cases. In particular, this improves the known bound for digraphs. Our algorithm uses a fast procedure for decomposing a flow with O(1) sources and sinks in a digraph into the sum of one-source-one-sink flows.

description: This paper reviews the existing indices on anti-trafficking policy and proposes the integration of statistical indicators into the indices coded from qualitative texts in order to improve the objectivity of evaluation. Examining the validity of the existing indices, the 3P Index and the GRETA-Scorecard, the results suggest that these measurements are not free from subjectivity regarding the selection of policy requirements and evaluation standards. To enhance objectivity, the utilization of the European Statistics is proposed and the validity of these statistics is investigated through multi-covariate analysis. The results show that the EU statistics are relevant indicators reflecting the quality of anti-trafficking policy, suggesting that, by integrating text and statistical information, an index on anti-trafficking policy canenhance its comprehensiveness and objectivity.

description: In 2005, Germany implemented CAP decoupled payments. Direct payments were converted into tradable, production decoupled, single farm payments (SFP) by a hybrid model. From 2010 - 2013, there will be a gradual transition to a regional model. The following paper shows the results of an analysis of the market for payment entitlements in Germany between 2005 and June 2007. Data are derived from the German Central IACS database (ZID). In this period 1.2 of the 17 million payment entitlements changed their owner. A closer look at the figures reveals that despite a large difference in the face value of the entitlements, the entitlements are rarely traded in order to optimize farm budget. In most cases, trade of entitlements is directly linked to farm or land transfer. As a consequence, the overwhelming majority of trade takes place on the local level with very little redistribution of direct payments on a regional level being observed. Differences between the thirteen German trading regions with respect to observed trade patterns are quite small.
The Effect Of Tool Profiles On Heat Generation And Distribution During Friction Stir Welding Of Aluminium Alloy

description: Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state joining process that uses a non-consumable tool to join metallic components. Heat is generated by friction between the rotating tool and the workpiece. In this study the effect of process parameters and tool geometry on heat generation during FSW is investigated through analytical and numerical modelling together experimental validation. Equations of tapered and straight tool profiles for triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal and octagonal geometries profiles have been derived first. The derived equations were then implemented in a finite element software package to model heat generation and thermal profile during FSW. Experimental validation was carried out using design of experimental (DOE) method for welding 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. The calculated thermal profiles agree with experimental data. It is found that the amount of heat generation increases with increasing number of flats, and taper ratio, and the highest temperature occurs in a straight octagonal tool profile which has 8 flats. The peak temperature increases around 19% by increase the number of probe flats from 3 to 8, and its taper ratio changes from 0.4 to 1. The tensile strength in experimental welded joints was tested to evaluate the effect of tool profile on mechanical properties. The transverse tensile strength increases approximately 33% by changing the tool profile from straight octagonal (SOct) to straight square (SSQ) due to producing defect free joints with symmetric hardness profiles. The tensile strength of SSQ joint is 79% of base metal strength were obtained using rotational speed of 1000 rpm and a welding speed of 200 mm/min.

description: Milk quota trading rules differ across EU member countries. In Denmark a biannual milk quota exchange was set up in 1997 to promote a more efficient reallocation of milk quotas as well as to reduce transaction costs related to the searching and matching of sellers and buyers. Using two comprehensive panel data sets on organic and conventional milk farms this study attempts to disentangle the effects of the introduction of an increased quota transferability on the production structure of those farms as well as the probability of market entry and exit. Bayesian estimation techniques are used to estimate an input oriented generalized Leontief distance function as well as a curvature constrained specification. The results suggest that the deregulation in the quota allocation mechanism led to an increased efficiency with respect to organic as well as conventional milk production. A relative shift of the PPF in favor of the production of organic milk has been found. In the post deregulation period the probability of farms entering organic milk production from conventional milk production has been significantly increased and the probability of farms exiting organic milk production to produce other non-organic output has been significantly decreased.
Aristocratic Charity and Household Medicine: the management of welfare and well-being by the Dukes and Duchesses of Montagu, and Buccleuch and Dukes, 1716-1847

description: During the period 1716 to 1847 successive generations of the Dukes and Duchesses of Montagu, and Buccleuch and Queensberry, were lauded in life, and commemorated after death, for their charitableness. Known as the Montagu Douglas Scott line, they nurtured an enduring familial reputation for benevolence. This thesis tests the reality of a wide range of their charitable activities in this era, against that historical image. The recently opened family archive has yielded a plethora of rich sources making the private charitable giving and medical decisions of these Dukes and Duchesses accessible for the first time. This thesis therefore redresses the lack of detailed research into the charitable activities of aristocratic families, including their own health and welfare needs, for this time period. Focusing on five generations of Dukes and Duchesses, three with houses and estates in both England and Scotland, the variations observed are thus attributed to gender, time and place. In their own written words, the historical benevolent practices of these high-ranking donors are uncovered through their responses to private, strategic petitions from those in need of welfare, and to the rhetoric deployed in charities’ public appeals for assistance. The complexity of influences and imperatives underpinning their charitable and medical decisions are thus unravelled. These benevolent practices are located in the giving structure at large, whilst medical choices are situated in the context of what could be contemporarily supplied. Hence, a familial lens is constructed through which historical developments in charity and medicine can be viewed. The impact of the family’s charitableness on its recipients is revealed too in their petitions for assistance and in the reports of their observers. Thus, the role of this aristocratic charity is relocated in survival strategies and appraised as a source of welfare provision. Whether this was indeed a performance of noblesse oblige that went above and beyond traditional expectations of aristocratic benevolence is therefore addressed.

description: This paper reviews the economic performance of Irish dairy farms over the period 1998 to 2006. Econometric techniques are employed to examine the variation in cost structures and to identify the factors affecting farm profitability. The overall objective of the paper is to establish the long term sustainability of dairy farming in Ireland and to explore the ability of farmers to cope with the potential price volatility that may arise out of a WTO agreement or reforms to the EU milk quota regime. National Farm Survey data from Ireland are used to analyse production costs. Average cost curves are shown for the Irish dairy industry and are compared to the results of similar analysis conducted for England and Wales.

description: A survey of the management of reproduction on 66 Scottish suckler herds calving in spring 2003 was analysed using multiple regression. The predicted mean value of suckled calves produced was £237/cow (SE 1.8). The regression coefficients of the predictors was 0.74 (0.05), 15 (3.9) and 248 (16.5) for date of first calving, average number of 21-day calving periods (calving spread) and proportion of cows barren respectively. Improving each predictor by 1 SD had the combined potential to improve predicted calf value by £64/cow, over 80% of the current typical gross margin for this type of enterprise. Bull care had a significant influence on calving spread and number of biosecurity measures taken had a positive influence on the proportion of cows barren. However, length of breeding season had no significant impact on the above predictors. Reproductive performance was highly variable and indicators were considerably poorer than published targets. It was concluded that farmers in this sample were not managing their herds for high reproductive performance and output as often advocated. This result suggests considerable scope for improved private and public benefits from the management of reproduction in this type of beef production system.
All that glitters is not gold: Prototypical semantic change in shiny Literary Chinese ideophones (2018)

description: Ideophones, cross-linguistically defined as “marked words that depict sensory imagery” (Dingemanse 2012), have been receiving renewed interest in the last two decades in Chinese and other Sinitic lan- guages (Sun 1999; Mok 2001; Meng 2012; Wu 2014; Van Hoey 2015; Van Hoey & Lu 2016). However, most of these studies have focused on the synchronic formal aspects of these words, namely (partial) reduplication, or ABB-like schemas. It is rarely discussed on how these ideophones were used in terms of contexts. This innovative study explores the semantics of Chinese ideophones from a diachronic per- spective, aiming to reveal the relations between the contexts and ideophones, and to trace the semantic change of a particular group of ideophone, the shiny ideophones.Using the Scripta Sinica corpus (Academia Sinica 中央研究院 2018) as our data source, we show that literary Chinese ideophones in the lexical field of LIGHT are highly dynamic in their polysemous semantic structure as they developed through time. Four case studies demonstrate that a levelled ap- proach with attention to diachronic prototype semantics (Geeraerts 1997) reveal different aspects of the nature of ideophones and their meanings:1. The meanings of the investigated ideophones tend to be concentrated in prototypical bundles with extensions to fuzzy edges.2. Different homophonous lexical items may influence each other in terms of their semantic pref- erence. As an example, see the two variants for yaoyao 耀耀 and 燿燿 in figure 1.3. Type and token frequency effects influence the entrenchment of certain meanings.4.

This study furthers a compre- hensive understanding of the semantics of LIGHT ideophones that can be expanded to other semantic fields. It is only through the long history of Chinese literary works, that we can trace back, and find evidence for the symbolic nature of ideophonic lexicalization.

description: In this paper, we evaluated the welfare effects of a hypothetical programme of Johne's disease eradication from the Scottish dairy herd on different stakeholders in the domestic milk market. We undertook the evaluation using a Markov-Chain simulation and applying an economic welfare analysis which takes into consideration the effects of an eradication programme on product price, on output quantity, on cost and on milk yield for given levels of supply and demand elasticities. We found that, following the eradication of the disease, milk yield per cow increased for all herd sizes in Scotland whereas price and unit cost of milk production fell. Consequently, milk consumers gained around £14.3 million in discounted economic surplus and producers with infected herds around £13.4 million whereas producers with uninfected herds lost around £10.7 million in discounted surplus. The gain in surplus made by consumers and owners of infected herds, however, more than made up for the loss in surplus made by owners of un-infected herds. Therefore, on balance, Scotland gained a net economic surplus of £17 million from the programme.

description: Achieving high compliance rates in incentive-based agri-environmental schemes is an important issue. This paper explores the use of a mixed penalty-reward approach under heterogeneous compliance costs. Specifically, we examine the use of a “compliance reward” under asymmetric information and output price uncertainty. Using a budget-neutral approach, three possible sources of financing are considered: 1. funds obtained by reducing monitoring effort; 2. the proceeds of fines collected from participating farmers who are inspected and found not to be in compliance; and 3. money saved by reducing the number of farmers enrolled. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each source of funding and analyze them numerically for both risk-neutral and risk-averse farmers. We show that under certain conditions a mixed penalty-reward system can increase the likelihood of compliance without increasing programme costs. For risk-averse farmers, however, conditions that ensure a positive outcome from compliance rewards become more restrictive. The implications of these findings are outlined for the future design of agri-environmental schemes with reference to cost-share working lands programmes such as EQIP in the United States.

description: This paper introduces inventories in an otherwise standard dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model. Firms accumulate inventories to facilitate sales, but face a cost of doing so in terms of costly storage of intermediate goods. Based on U.S. data we estimate the parameters of our model using Bayesian methods. The results show that accounting for inventory dynamics has a significant impact on parameter estimates and the following analyses. We find that inventories enter the New Keynesian Phillips curve as an additional and significant driving variable and make the inflation process less backward-looking. Moreover, impulse responses can change in terms of magnitude and persistence. The variance decomposition reveals substantial changes regarding the driving forces of inflation and the nominal interest rate when we consider inventory holding.
Cosmological perturbations for imperfect fluids

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Interacting fluids, endowed with bulk viscous stresses, are discussed in a unified perspective with the aim of generalizing the treatment of cosmological perturbation theory to the case where both fluctuating decay rates and fluctuating bulk viscosity coefficients are simultaneously present in the relativistic plasma. A gauge-invariant treatment of the qualitatively new phenomena arising in this context is provided. In a complementary approach, faithful gauge-fixed descriptions of the gravitational and hydrodynamical fluctuations are developed and exploited. To deepen the interplay between bulk viscous stresses and fluctuating decay rates, illustrative examples are proposed and discussed both analytically and numerically. Particular attention is paid to the coupled evolution of curvature and entropy fluctuations when, in the relativistic plasma, at least one of the interacting fluids possesses a fluctuating bulk viscosity coefficient. It is argued that this class of models may be usefully employed as an effective description of the decay of the inflaton as well as of other phenomena involving imperfect relativistic fluids.

description: This preparatory case study provides an overview on the issue of changing food purchasing and food consumption habits among urban middle-classes in the South Indian emerging mega-city of Hyderabad. It analyses how food purchasing and dietary habits in this specific urban stratum are subject to profound changes due to increasing spending capacity and changing lifestyles in the context of economic liberalisation and globalisation processes. Another objective of the study examines health aspects of the changing food consumption habits. While nutrition research previously focused on the serious problem of undernutrition- related nutrient deficits, recent data shows that overweight and nutrition-related chronic diseases are more and more becoming serious problems particularly among India`s emerging urban middle-classes. Questionnaires and several interviews were carried out to collect empirical data on these issues. Embedded in a broad literature review, results, consequences, and challenges of changing food purchasing and consumption habits are discussed. The findings point to the necessity for further action-research.

description: Machine learning algorithms have been available since the 1990s, but it is much more recently that they have come into use also in the physical sciences. While these algorithms have already proven to be useful in uncovering new properties of materials and in simplifying experimental protocols, their usage in liquid crystals research is still limited. This is surprising because optical imaging techniques are often applied in this line of research, and it is precisely with images that machine learning algorithms have achieved major breakthroughs in recent years. Here we use convolutional neural networks to probe several properties of liquid crystals directly from their optical images and without using manual feature engineering. By optimizing simple architectures, we find that convolutional neural networks can predict physical properties of liquid crystals with exceptional accuracy. We show that these deep neural networks identify liquid crystal phases and predict the order parameter of simulated nematic liquid crystals almost perfectly. We also show that convolutional neural networks identify the pitch length of simulated samples of cholesteric liquid crystals and the sample temperature of an experimental liquid crystal with very high precision.

description: This brief publication began as a need for a short summary of farm programs and farm bills for two agricultural economics courses focusing on agricultural policy -- ag. economics 429, and ag. economics 614. It became clear that many students taking these courses had less and less background in agriculture and less (even cursory) knowledge of policies than those of the recent past. After this list was developed a number of other professional agricultural economists found copies and began to use it, hence its publication in a more structured form. The list of Farm Program Provisions is not all-inclusive. It certainly does not contain all the laws and provisions that have affected agriculture over the years. However, it is an easy reference to farm bills and provisions since 1933. We intend to update this list as time goes on to continue its usefulness to professionals and students alike.

description: We propose the use of periodic arrays of permanent magnetic films for producing magnetic lattices of microtraps for confining, manipulating and controlling small clouds of ultracold atoms and quantum degenerate gases. Using analytical expressions and numerical calculations we show that periodic arrays of magnetic films can produce one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) magnetic lattices with non-zero potential minima, allowing ultracold atoms to be trapped without losses due to spin flips. In particular, we show that two crossed layers of periodic arrays of parallel rectangular magnets plus bias fields, or a single layer of periodic arrays of square-shaped magnets with three different thicknesses plus bias fields, can produce 2D magnetic lattices of microtraps having non-zero potential minima and controllable trap depth. For arrays with micron-scale periodicity, the magnetic microtraps can have very large trap depths ($\sim$0.5 mK for the realistic parameters chosen for the 2D lattice) and very tight confinement.

Intermunicipal cooperation

description: This contribution studies the determinants of intermunicipal cooperation for
small Hessian municipalities. Existing contributions have highlighted the role of
cooperation demand factors, for example fiscal stress or demographic factors, on the one hand, and transaction cost issues on the other. This study asks how the spatial neighbourhood affects cooperation decision making taking characteristics of neighbouring municipalities into account (cooperation supply). The study focuses on intermunicipal cooperations in the field of labor intensive public administration services, for example, management and accounting tasks, personnel administration or civil registry offices. We find that the main driving forces are fiscal stress, population growth and size heterogeneity. Neighbourhood-related supply factors are only weakly significant. Cooperation is more likely for municipalities that are part of a set of neighbouring municipalities which are heterogeneous with respect to size.
Biology and receptor interactions of P97 and the transferrin receptors
Creators: name: Walker, Brandie Laurel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Melanotransferrin, or p97, is an iron binding protein that is expressed as both a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored form and as a soluble form. While the anchored form internalizes iron, the function of the soluble form is still unknown. Soluble p97 levels are increased in the serum and cerebral spinal fluid of Alzheimer disease patients, but the reasons for this increase are undetermined. In order to begin to address the question of function for this soluble protein, possible receptor interactions were studied. The interaction of p97 and transferrin receptor 1 was characterized with radioligand assays and immunofluorescent labeling assays. These experiments demonstrated that p97 interacts with the transferrin receptor 1 in cell binding experiments. However, p97 was not able to deliver iron into the cells via transferrin receptor 1. Furthermore, BIAcore studies were not able to measure any interaction between p97 and transferrin receptor 1. In the search for other likely candidate receptors of p97, a novel homologue of the transferrin receptor 1 was discovered through mining of the EST database. Expression of this protein was revealed by Northern blot to be largely restricted to the liver. In embryogenesis, the mouse transferrin receptor 2 is present by E15 and continues to increase in expression through E17, in contrast to transferrin receptor 1 that is discernable by E7, increases until E l5 and decreases by E 17 . Transferrin receptor 2 is present on the brain endothelial cells that form the blood-brain barrier implicating it as a candidate receptor for transport of p97 (and iron) into or out of the brain. Interestingly, in transfected cells that over express both transferrin receptor 1 and 2, the receptor is present at the cell surface as a heterodimeric combination of the two receptors. p97 binds to the mouse transferrin receptor 2, and unlike transferrin receptor 1, also facilitates the uptake of 5 5Fe through this interaction. Thus, in addition to receptor binding, the functional aspect of this interaction can be demonstrated. Clearly, identification of transferrin receptor 2 as a receptor of p97 is only one of the first important steps toward the ultimate goal of clarifying the function of soluble p97.

description: Small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SFRs) are a type of structures in the solar wind that possess helical magnetic field lines. In a recent report (Chen & Hu 2020), we presented the radial variations of the properties of SFR from 0.29 to 8 au using in situ measurements from the Helios, ACE/Wind, Ulysses, and Voyager spacecraft. With the launch of the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), we extend our previous investigation further into the inner heliosphere. We apply a Grad-Shafranov-based algorithm to identify SFRs during the first two PSP encounters. We find that the number of SFRs detected near the Sun is much less than that at larger radial distances, where magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence may act as the local source to produce these structures. The prevalence of Alfvenic structures significantly suppresses the detection of SFRs at closer distances. We compare the SFR event list with other event identification methods, yielding a dozen well-matched events. The cross-section maps of two selected events confirm the cylindrical magnetic flux rope configuration. The power-law relation between the SFR magnetic field and heliocentric distances seems to hold down to 0.16 au.

description: We have observed multi-photon resonances in a system with a spin 3/2 irradiated simultaneously by a multiple pulse radiofrequency sequence and a low frequency field swept in the range 0-80 kHz. The used excitation scheme allowed us to measure the effective field of the radiofrequency sequence. A peculiarity of this scheme is that the intensity of the resonance lines decreases slowly with the mode number. The theoretical description of the effect is presented using both the rotating frame approximation and the Floquet theory. Both approaches give indentical results at the calculation of the resonance frequencies, transition probabilities and shifts of resonance frequency. The calculated magnetization vs. the frequency of the low-frequency field agrees well with the obtained experimental data. The multi-frequency spectra give a way for studying slow atomic motion in solids.

description: We present a study of quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene obtained by intercalation of Au atoms at the interface between the carbon buffer layer (Bu-L) and the silicon-terminated face (0001) of 4H-silicon carbide. Au intercalation is achieved by deposition of atomically thin Au on the Bu-L followed by annealing at 850 °C in an Argon atmosphere. We explore the intercalation of Au and decoupling of the Bu-L into quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene by surface science characterizations and electron transport in top-gated electronic devices. By gate-dependent magnetotransport we find that the Au-intercalated buffer layer displays all properties of monolayer graphene, namely gate tunable ambipolar transport across the Dirac point, and n- or p-type doping depending on the Au content.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2001-2007 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: - Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. - Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) July 2002 Baseline. The primary objective of the analysis is to determine the farms’ economic viability by region and commodity throughout the life of the 2002 Farm Bill. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the July 2002 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing annual cash flow deficits and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2007. This report is organized into ten sections. The first section summarizes the process used to develop the representative farms and the key assumptions utilized for the farm level analysis. The second section summarizes the FAPRI July 2002 Baseline and the policy and price assumptions used for the representative farm analyses. The third through sixth sections present the results of the simulation analyses for feed grain, wheat, cotton, and rice farms. The seventh through ninth sections summarize simulation results for dairy, cattle and hog farms. Two appendices constitute the final section of the report. Appendix A provides tables to summarize the physical and financial characteristics for each of the representative farms. Appendix B provides the names of producers, land grant faculty, and industry leaders who cooperated in the panel interview process to develop the representative farms.
Condensation phase transitions of symmetric conserved-mass aggregation model on complex networks

description: We investigate condensation phase transitions of symmetric conserved-mass aggregation (SCA) model on random networks (RNs) and scale-free networks (SFNs) with degree distribution $P(k) \sim k^{-γ}$. In SCA model, masses diffuse with unite rate, and unit mass chips off from mass with rate $ω$. The dynamics conserves total mass density $ρ$. In the steady state, on RNs and SFNs with $γ>3$ for $ω\neq \infty$, we numerically show that SCA model undergoes the same type condensation transitions as those on regular lattices. However the critical line $ρ_c (ω)$ depends on network structures. On SFNs with $γ\leq 3$, the fluid phase of exponential mass distribution completely disappears and no phase transitions occurs. Instead, the condensation with exponentially decaying background mass distribution always takes place for any non-zero density. For the existence of the condensed phase for $γ\leq 3$ at the zero density limit, we investigate one lamb-lion problem on RNs and SFNs. We numerically show that a lamb survives indefinitely with finite survival probability on RNs and SFNs with $γ>3$, and dies out exponentially on SFNs with $γ\leq 3$. The finite life time of a lamb on SFNs with $γ\leq 3$ ensures the existence of the condensation at the zero density limit on SFNs with $γ\leq 3$ at which direct numerical simulations are practically impossible. At $ω= \infty$, we numerically confirm that complete condensation takes place for any $ρ> 0$ on RNs. Together with the recent study on SFNs, the complete condensation always occurs on both RNs and SFNs in zero range process with constant hopping rate.

description: Each year U.S. farmers receive more subsidies than needy families receive through welfare assistance or post-secondary students receive through student aid grants. Yet, who benefits from agricultural subsidies is an open question. Economic theory predicts the entire subsidy incidence should be on the farmland owners. Since non-farmers own nearly half of all farmland, this implies that a substantial portion of all subsidies accrue to non-farmers while a significant share of all farmers receive no benefits. Using a complementary set of policy quasiexperiments, I find that farmers who rent the land they cultivate capture 75 percent of the subsidy, leaving just 25 percent for landowners. This finding contradicts the prediction from neoclassical models. The standard prediction may not hold due to less than perfect competition in the farmland rental market; the share captured by landowners increases with local measures of competitiveness in the farm land rental market.
The signature of laminar instabilities in the zone of transition to turbulence

description: We demonstrate that the space-time statistics of the birth of turbulent spots in boundary layers can be reconstructed qualitatively from the average behavior of macroscopic measures in the transition zone. The conclusion in \cite{vg04} that there exists a connection between the patterns in laminar instability and the birth of turbulent spots is strengthened. We examine why the relationship between instability and transition to turbulence is manifest in some cases and appears to be totally absent in others. Novel cellular automaton type simulations of the transition zone are conducted, and the pattern of spot birth is obtained from secondary instability analysis. The validity of the hypothesis of concentrated breakdown, according to which most turbulent spots originate at a particular streamwise location, is assessed. The predictions made lend themselves to straightforward experimental verification.

description: The provisions in the House (H.R. 2646) and Senate (S. 1731) farm bills are analyzed with respect to their impacts on 94 representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms. The analysis incorporates both historical price and production risk for the farms so the “safety net” aspects of the bills can be compared. Representative crop livestock and dairy farms for major production regions across the county are analyzed. Information to describe and simulate these farms comes from a panel of farmers in each local area. The farm panels are reconvened frequently to update their farm’s data. The representative farm data base has been used for policy analysis for more than 15 years. The simulation model used for the analysis was developed by AFPC scientists.
