description: We provide an empirical study of the stability of recurrent neural networks trained to recognize regular languages. When a small amount of noise is introduced into the activation function, the neurons in the recurrent layer tend to saturate in order to compensate the variability. In this saturated regime, analysis of the network activation shows a set of clusters that resemble discrete states in a finite state machine. We show that transitions between these states in response to input symbols are deterministic and stable. The networks display a stable behavior for arbitrarily long strings, and when random perturbations are applied to any of the states, they are able to recover and their evolution converges to the original clusters. This observation reinforces the interpretation of the networks as finite automata, with neurons or groups of neurons coding specific and meaningful input patterns.

description: We study the evolution of the ionization state of the IGM at the end of the reionization epoch using spectra of a sample of nineteen quasars at 5.745.7: the optical depth evolution changes from tau ~ (1+z)^{4.3} to (1+z)^{>11}, and the average length of dark gaps with tau>3.5 increases from <10 to >80 comoving Mpc. The dispersion of IGM properties along different lines of sight also increases rapidly, implying fluctuations by a factor of >4 in the UV background at z>6, when the mean free path of UV photons is comparable to the correlation length of galaxies. The mean length of dark gaps shows the most dramatic increase at z~6, as well as the largest varianace. We suggest using dark gap statistics as a powerful probe of the ionization state of the IGM at yet higher redshift. The sizes of HII regions around quasars decrease rapidly towards higher redshift, suggesting that the neutral fraction of the IGM has increased by a factor of >10 from z=5.7 to 6.4. The mass-averaged neutral fraction is 1-4% at z~6.2 based on the GP optical depth and HII region sizes. The observations suggest that z~6 is the the end of the overlapping stage of reionization, and are inconsistent with a neutral IGM at z~6, as indicated by the finite length of dark absorption gaps.

description: We present a Monte Carlo method that efficiently computes the density of states for spin models having any number of interaction per spin. By combining a random-walk in the energy space with collective updates controlled by the microcanonical temperature, our method yields dynamic exponents close to their ideal random-walk values, reduced equilibrium times, and very low statistical error on the density of states. The method can host any density of states estimation scheme, including the Wang-Landau algorithm and the transition matrix method. Our approach proves remarkably powerful in the numerical study of models governed by long-range interactions, where it is shown to reduce the algorithm complexity to that of a short-range model with the same number of spins. We apply the method to the $q$-state Potts chains $(3\leq q \leq 12)$ with power-law decaying interactions in their first-order regime; we find that conventional local-update algorithms are outperformed already for sizes above a few hundred spins. By considering chains containing up to $2^{16}$ spins, which we simulated in fairly reasonable time, we obtain estimates of transition temperatures correct to five-figure accuracy. Finally, we propose several efficient schemes aimed at estimating the microcanonical temperature.

description: Information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly seen as key enablers for climate change mitigation measures. They can make existing products and activities more efficient or substitute them altogether. Consequently, different initiatives have started to estimate the environmental effects of ICT services. Such assessments, however, lack scientific rigor and often rely on crude assumptions and methods, leading to inaccurate or even misleading results. The few methodological attempts that exist do not address several crucial aspects, and are thus insufficient to foster good as-sessment practice. Starting from such a high level standard from the European Telecommunication Standardisation Institute (ETSI) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), this article identifies the shortcomings of existing methodologies and proposes solutions. It addresses several aspects for the assessment of single ICT services: the goal and scope definition (analyzing differences between ICT substitution and optimization, the time perspective of the assessment, the challenge of a hypothetical baseline for the situation without the ICT solution, and the differences between modelling and case studies) as well as the often ignored influence of rebound effects and the difficult extrapolation from case studies to larger populations.

description: Adiabatic dressed state potentials are created when magnetic sub-states of trapped atoms are coupled by a radio frequency field. We discuss their theoretical foundations and point out fundamental advantages over potentials purely based on static fields. The enhanced flexibility enables one to implement numerous novel configurations, including double wells, Mach-Zehnder and Sagnac interferometers which even allows for internal state-dependent atom manipulation. These can be realized using simple and highly integrated wire geometries on atom chips.

description: The seagrass bed ecosystem is distributed across temperate and tropical marine areas around the world. They are similar to coral reefs in that they act as refuges and feeding grounds for aquatic life and serve as nurseries for their young. Yet, because seagrasses are plants and not animals like corals, they engineer their ecosystem in a much different way. Once the seed germinates, it sends its root system or rhizome out horizontally, binding sediment particles in place, this way creating micro-habitats for other organisms. As a general rule, the organisms that make their living in seagrass beds have the ability to either burrow in sand, live in narrow spaces in between, or on seagrass leaves (epiphytes and epizoa). The leaves look like grass blades extending vertically up from the root.There are about 70 different species of seagrass worldwide, with the most diverse seagrass assemblages found in the Indo-Pacific. In Qatar we find four species that are highly adapted to the extreme salinity of the Gulf: the Narrow Leaf Seagrass Halodule uninervis, the Oval Leaf Seagrass Halophila ovalis, the Broad Leaf Seagrass Halophila stipulacea and the Turtle Seagrass Thalassia testudinium. Other members of the community include crabs, polychaete worms, black sea cucumbers, pen shells, pearl oysters, sea horses, and of course an assortment of fish. Maybe the most magnificent visitors of seagrass beds are the green turtles and dugongs. This ecosystem is essential for their sustenance since seagrasses are the major nutritional source of their diet.Other InformationPublished in: Qatar Marine Ecosystem lesson plans

description: Motivated by the prospect of measuring a black hole photon ring, in previous work we explored the interferometric signature produced by a bright, narrow curve in the sky. Interferometric observations of such a curve measure its "projected position function" $\mathbf{r}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{n}}$, where $\mathbf{r}$ parameterizes the curve and $\hat{\mathbf{n}}$ denotes its unit normal vector. In this paper, we show by explicit construction that a curve can be fully reconstructed from its projected position, completing the argument that space interferometry can in principle determine the detailed photon ring shape. In practice, near-term observations may be limited to the visibility amplitude alone, which contains incomplete shape information: for convex curves, the amplitude only encodes the set of projected diameters (or "widths") of the shape. We explore the freedom in reconstructing a convex curve from its widths, giving insight into the shape information probed by technically plausible future astronomical measurements. Finally, we consider the Kerr "critical curve" in this framework and present some new results on its shape. We analytically show that the critical curve is an ellipse at small spin or inclination, while at extremal spin it becomes the convex hull of a Cartesian oval. We find a simple oval shape, the "phoval", which reproduces the critical curve with high fidelity over the whole parameter range.

description: An important phenomenon associated with Yellammā/Reṇukā is the idea of an ‘untethered woman’ – a woman who is not contained by marriage. The local term used for such a woman is rānḍ or rānḍē. Yellammā became rānḍē when her husband, Jamadagni was killed. This fact is remembered every year during the huṇimē (full moon) in the month of Pouṣ. This marks the beginning of the pilgrimage to Yellammā Gudi near Savadatti. On the night of ‘rānḍē huṇimē’ Yellammā’s green bangles are broken, the vermillion is wiped from her brow, and her gold is taken off; for all these are signifiers of auspicious married status. This rite continues to this day; at the main temples it is conducted by liṁgāvaṁt pujaris and at the village temples by jōgammā or jōgatī (sometime referred to as devdāsī). [Ramberg, 2011 : When the Devi Is Your Husband : Sacred Marriage and Sexual Economy in South India, in Feminist Studies, vol 37, no 1, 35] Jōgatī converge / used to converge annually at the Yellammā Guḍi near Savadatti, and village temples of Yellammā, for rānḍē huṇimē to break their own green bangles, wipe the vermillion from their brows and remove their mangalasutra. [Ramberg, 2011 : 38] This symbolic ‘untethering’ of their womanhood is a memorial of what befell this Deccan community almost two thousand years ago and central to the economy of religious sexuality that resulted from it. Three months later at the beginning of spring, Yellammā’s auspicious marital status is restored with the celebration of muṭaidē huṇimē. [Ramberg, 2011 : 35] On this occasion the jōgatī too reinstate their own muṭaidē (auspicious marital status). [Ramberg, 2011 : 42] In this manner through annual untethering and tethering to Yellammā, they maintain their status as ‘nityasumaṁgalī’ – auspiciously married at all time. [Kersenboom, 1953 : Nityasumaṅgalī : Towards the Semiosis of the Devadasi Tradition of South India] What could this strange practice signify ? Could it be a scar of the traumatic loss of ‘sumāṁgalya’ by the women of the community thousands of years ago; a desperate attempt never to lose it again ? We do not have hard evidence; we will never have perhaps. Only an analysis of the phenomenon along psychopathological lines can prove or disprove such a thesis.

description: The presence of log-periodic structures before and after stock market crashes is considered to be an imprint of an intrinsic discrete scale invariance (DSI) in this complex system. The fractal framework of the theory leaves open the possibility of observing self-similar log-periodic structures at different time scales. In the present work we analyze the daily closures of three of the most important indices worldwide since 2000: the DAX for Germany and the Nasdaq100 and the S&P500 for the United States. The qualitative behaviour of these different markets is similar during the temporal frame studied. Evidence is found for decelerating log-periodic oscillations of duration about two years and starting in September 2000. Moreover, a nested sub-structure starting in May 2002 is revealed, bringing more evidence to support the hypothesis of self-similar, log-periodic behavior. Ongoing log-periodic oscillations are also revealed. A Lomb analysis over the aforementioned periods indicates a preferential scaling factor $λ\sim 2$. Higher order harmonics are also present. The spectral pattern of the data has been found to be similar to that of a Weierstrass-type function, used as a prototype of a log-periodic fractal function.

A Global Non-Hydrostatic Atmospheric Model with a Mass and Energy Conserving Vertically-Implicit-Correction (VIC) Scheme

description: Global non-hydrostatic atmospheric models are becoming increasingly important for studying the climates of planets and exoplanets. However, such models suffer from computational difficulties due to the large aspect ratio between the horizontal and vertical directions. To overcome this problem, we developed a global model using a vertically-implicit-correction (VIC) scheme in which the integration time step is no longer limited by the propagation of acoustic waves in the vertical. We proved that our model, based on the $\rm Athena^{++}$ framework and its extension for planetary atmospheres - SNAP (Simulating Non-hydrostatic Atmosphere on Planets), rigorously conserves mass and energy in finite volume simulations. We found that traditional numerical stabilizers such as hyper-viscosity and divergence damping are not needed when using the VIC scheme, which greatly simplifies the numerical implementation and improves stability. We present simulation results ranging from 1D linear waves to 3D global circulations with and without the VIC scheme. These tests demonstrate that our formulation correctly tracks local turbulent motions, produces Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, and generates a super-rotating jet on hot Jupiters. Employing this VIC scheme improves the computational efficiency of global simulations by more than two orders of magnitude compared to an explicit model and facilitates the capability of simulating a wide range of planetary atmospheres both regionally and globally.

description: We combine MUSE and ALMA observations with theoretical models to evaluate how a tadpole-shaped globule located in the Carina Nebula has been influenced by its environment. This globule is now relatively small (radius ~2500 au), hosts a protostellar jet+outflow (HH 900) and, with a blue-shifted velocity of ~10 km/s, is travelling faster than it should be if its kinematics were set by the turbulent velocity dispersion of the precursor cloud. Its outer layers are currently still subject to heating, but comparing the internal and external pressures implies that the globule is in a post-collapse phase. Intriguingly the outflow is bent, implying that the YSO responsible for launching it is comoving with the globule, which requires that the star formed after the globule was up to speed since otherwise it would have been left behind. We conclude that the most likely scenario is one in which the cloud was much larger before being subject to radiatively-driven implosion, which accelerated the globule to the high observed speeds under the photoevaporative rocket effect and triggered the formation of the star responsible for the outflow. The globule may now be in a quasi-steady state following collapse. Finally, the HH 900 YSO is likely $\gtrsim$1 M$_{\odot}$ and may be the only star forming in the globule. It may be that this process of triggered star formation has prevented the globule from fragmenting to form multiple stars (e.g., due to heating) and has produced a single higher mass star.

Is Walking Maintained after Discharge from Prosthetic Rehabilitation?

description: Introduction: The incidence of lower limb amputation in Ireland is rising due to increased prevalence of diabetes and an aging population. Walking is a common goal of patients who are admitted for prosthetic rehabilitation, however very little is known about whether this goal is maintained after discharge in the Irish setting.
Aim: The aim of this study was to determine if walking is maintained after discharge from prosthetic rehabilitation.Methods: Patients discharged from a national prosthetic rehabilitation centre were recruited at the time of their prosthetic review appointment and consent obtained. Data on assessments conducted on discharge and patient demographics were extracted from medical records. It was determined if the participants were still walking with a prosthesis at time of review. If walking was maintained outcome measures completed on discharge including Timed Up and Go (TUG), 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) and Locomotor Capabilities Index-5 (LCI-5) were repeated. Statistical analysis was completed and data was described using descriptive statistics. Data was tested for normal distribution and the difference between measures at the two time points was tested. Validation of a previously developed clinical prediction rule in this population was explored using information extracted from the participant’s health care record.
Results: Of the 28 participants who were included in the study 22 (78.6 %) were still walking at the time of review. For five of those who were no longer walking the reason was issues with skin on their residuum or remaining foot, two of these participants I underwent further amputation. For those who were still walking at the time of review there was a statistically significant improvement in 2MWT and TUG from discharge to review. The clinical prediction rule was not found to predict prosthetic non-use in this sample.
Implications of Findings: The results suggest that increased emphasis on management of skin and chronic conditions is required as part of the rehabilitation programme.
Conclusion: Walking was maintained for the majority of people after discharge fromprosthetic rehabilitation.
On Higgs and sphaleron effects during the leptogenesis era

description: We discuss the effects of various processes that can be active during the leptogenesis era, and present the Boltzmann equations that take them into account appropriately. A non-vanishing Higgs number asymmetry is always present, enhancing the washout of the lepton asymmetry. This is the main new effect when leptogenesis takes place at $T>10^{12}$ GeV, reducing the final baryon asymmetry and tightening the leptogenesis bound on the neutrino masses. If leptogenesis occurs at lower temperatures, electroweak sphalerons partially transfer the lepton asymmetry to a baryonic one, while Yukawa interactions and QCD sphalerons partially transfer the asymmetries of the left-handed fields to the right-handed ones, suppressing the washout processes. Depending on the specific temperature range in which leptogenesis occurs, the final baryon asymmetry can be enhanced or suppressed by factors of order 20%--40% with respect to the case when these effects are altogether ignored.

description: The energy evolution of a quantum chaotic system under the perturbation that harmonically depends on time is studied for the case of large perturbation, in which the rate of transition calculated from the Fermi golden rule exceeds the frequency of perturbation. It is shown that the energy evolution retains its diffusive character, with the diffusion coefficient that is asymptotically proportional to the magnitude of perturbation and to the square root of the density of states. The results are supported by numerical calculation. They imply the absence of the quantum-classical correspondence for the energy diffusion and the energy absorption in the classical limit $\hbar \to 0$.

description: A common method to prepare states in AdS/CFT is to perform the Euclidean path integral with sources turned on for single-trace operators. These states can be interpreted as coherent states of the bulk quantum theory associated to Lorentzian initial data on a Cauchy slice. In this paper, we discuss the extent to which arbitrary initial data can be obtained in this way. We show that the initial data must be analytic and define the subset of it that can be prepared by imposing bulk regularity. Turning this around, we show that for generic analytic initial data the corresponding Euclidean section contains singularities coming from delta function sources in the bulk. We propose an interpretation of these singularities as non-perturbative objects in the microscopic theory.

description: Information and communication technologies (ICT) can make existing products and activities more efficient or substitute them altogether and could thus become crucial for the mitigation of climate change. In this context, individual ICT companies, industry organizations and international initiatives have started to estimate the environmental effects of ICT services. Often such assessments rely on crude assumptions and methods, yielding inaccurate or even misleading results. The few existing methodological attempts are too general to provide guidance to practitioners. The starting points of this paper are i) a high level standard from the European Telecommunication Standardisation Institute (ETSI) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and ii) its suggested enhancements for single service assessment outlined in "A Methodology for Assessing the Environmental Effects Induced by ICT Services Part I: Single services" (Part I in short). Building on the assessment of single services, the current article identifies and addresses shortcomings of existing methodologies and industry practices with regard to multiple services assessment. For a collection of services, it addresses the goal and scope definition, the so far ignored aggregation of effects among several services, and the allocation between several companies contributing to one or more services. The article finally brings these considerations together with those of Part I into a workflow for performing such assessments in practice.

description: We construct a formal framework for investigating epistemic and temporal notions in the context of distributed quantum computation. While we rely on structures developed earlier, we stress that our notion of quantum knowledge makes sense more generally in any agent-based model for distributed quantum systems. Several arguments are given to support our view that an agent's possibility relation should not be based on the reduced density matrix, but rather on local classical states and local quantum operations. In this way, we are able to analyse distributed primitives such as superdense coding and teleportation, obtaining interesting conclusions as to how the knowledge of individual agents evolves. We show explicitly that the knowledge transfer in teleportation is essentially classical, in that eventually, the receiving agent knows that its state is equal to the initial state of the sender. The relevant epistemic statements for teleportation deal with this correlation rather than with the actual quantum state, which is unknown throughout the protocol.

description: Virtual manufacturing systems are developed by simulating real manufacturing processes in digital environments in order to increase accuracy as well as efficiency of part production. Accuracy of the produced parts can be increased by errors can also be analyzed and decreased by using virtual machining systems. Moreover, optimization methods can be applied to the simulated manufacturing processes in the virtual environments to improve efficiency of part production by using optimized cutting conditions. Elements of machine tools can be simulated, analyzed and modified by using virtual machining system. The simulated machining processes in virtual environments can be used in training monitoring and analyzing errors of simulated manufacturing processes in virtual environments. In order to boost accuracy of produced parts, effects of machining operation errors such as dimensional, geometrical, thermal and tool deflection programs without the need of shop floor testing. The most suitable methods of part production can be selected by applying process planning methodologies to the simulated manufacturing processes in the virtual environments. Furthermore, the parts can be analyzed in virtual environments using the Finite Element Method (FEM) to provide the error effects analysis. In this paper, a review of virtual machining systems for CNC milling as well as turning machine tools is presented and future research works are also suggested. As a result, it is hoped that the research filed can be moved forward by reviewing and analyzing recent achievements in the published papers.

description: We present a study of thermodynamic properties of suspensions of charged colloids on the basis of linear Poisson-Boltzmann theory. We calculate the effective Hamiltonian of the colloids by integrating out the ionic degrees of freedom grand-canonically. This procedure not only yields the well-known pairwise screened-Coulomb interaction between the colloids, but also additional volume terms which affect the phase behavior and the thermodynamic properties such as the osmotic pressure. These calculations are greatly facilitated by the grand-canonical character of our treatment of the ions, and allow for relatively fast computations compared to earlier studies in the canonical ensemble. Moreover, the present derivation of the volume terms are relatively simple, make a direct connection with Donnan equilibrium, yield an explicit expression for the effective screening constant, and allow for extensions to include, for instance, nonlinear effects.

description: The mass of the Deccan kṣatrīya were relegated to the bottom of the social scale – they became the śūdr, the dalīt, the low caste and the outcaste. Even those who rose to power remained subservient to the supremacy of the brāhmaṇ. It is in this context of the rout of the social economy of Deccan kṣatrīya that we need to understand the rise of the Yellammā cult. Deprived of both their dignity and livelihood, the victim communities of the Savadatti holocaust sought to rebuild their lives on a new basis : an economy of religious sexuality; and their only saviour and strength was Yellammā.

description: ATHENA's first detection of cold antihydrogen atoms relied on their annihilation signatures in a sophisticated particle detector. We will review the features of the ATHENA detector and its applications in trap physics. The detector for a new experiment ALPHA will have considerable challenges due to increased material thickness in the trap apparatus as well as field non-uniformity. Our studies indicate that annihilation vertex imaging should be still possible despite these challenges. An alternative method for trapped antihydrogen, via electron impact ionization, will be also discussed.

description: Trade coverage ratios were calculated to assess the 1989 incidence of non-tariff measures (NTMs) on imports of agricultural products by major industrial nations. Overall, 36 percent of all food items were found to be covered by one or more NTM in the European Community. Corresponding figures for Japan and the United States were 59 and 17 percent, respectively. Imports of agricultural products confront a wide variety of NTMs in markets of industrial nations. Results of the analysis were used to shed light on prospects for reaching agreements on agricultural reform issues in the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations

description: We use a sample of powerful z~0.1 type 2 quasars ('obscured'; log[L(AGN)/erg/s]>~45), which host kiloparsec-scale ionized outflows and jets, to identify possible signatures of AGN feedback on the total molecular gas reservoirs of their host galaxies. Specifically, we present Atacama Pathfinder EXperiment (APEX) observations of the CO(2-1) transition for nine sources and the CO(6-5) for a subset of three. We find that the majority of our sample reside in starburst galaxies (average specific star formation rates of 1.7/Gyr), with the seven CO-detected quasars also having large molecular gas reservoirs (average Mgas = 1.3x10^10Msun), even though we had no pre-selection on the star formation or molecular gas properties. Despite the presence of quasars and outflows, we find that the molecular gas fractions (Mgas/Mstar = 0.1-1.2) and depletion times (Mgas/SFR = 0.16-0.95Gyr) are consistent with those expected for the overall galaxy population with matched stellar masses and specific star formation rates. Furthermore, for at least two of the three targets with the required measurements, the CO(6-5)/CO(2-1) emission-line ratios are consistent with star formation dominating the CO excitation over this range of transitions. The targets in our study represent a gas-rich phase of galaxy evolution with simultaneously high levels of star formation and nuclear activity; furthermore, the jets and outflows do not have an immediate appreciable impact on the global molecular gas reservoirs.

Divergent chiral condensate in the quenched Schwinger model

description: We calculate numerically the eigenvalue distribution of the overlap Dirac operator in the quenched Schwinger model on a lattice. The distribution does not fit any of the three universality classes of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking, and its strong volume dependence indicates that the chiral condensate in the quenched theory is an ill-defined and divergent quantity. When we reweight configurations with the Dirac determinant to study the theory with N_f=1, we obtain a distribution of eigenvalues that is well-behaved and consistent with the theory of explicit symmetry breaking due to the anomaly.

Emotional and social intelligence : examining its place in the nomological network
Creators: name: Barchard, Kimberly Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Someone who attends to, understands, manages, and expresses emotions could be described as Emotionally and Socially Intelligent. Researchers and the general public have recently become interested in Emotional and Social Intelligence (ESI) because it may represent a new type of intelligence. The purpose of this dissertation was to determine which aspects of ESI represent new types of intelligence and how best to measure them. Thirty-one ESI measures were administered to University of British Columbia undergraduate students, and correlated with measures of intelligence, the Big Five dimensions of personality, and Socially Desirable Responding. Seven ESI measures were administered to community members in the Eugene-Springfield area of Oregon who had previously completed measures of the Big Five dimensions. Factor analyses and correlational analyses indicated that many self-report measures of ESI tap personality dimensions, not cognitive abilities. Being concerned about those who are less fortunate than oneself was strongly related to Agreeableness. Measures of paying attention to one's emotions and basing decisions upon them, expressing one's emotions, and responding empathically to other people's emotions formed a single factor. This Sensitivity factor does not appear to be a type of intelligence. On the other hand, the ability to perceive emotions in others, in inanimate objects, and in other sensations does appear to be a new cognitive ability. Measures of this construct consistently formed a single factor, and this factor had a salient factor pattern coefficient on a higher-order factor identified as Crystallized Intelligence. Measures of Emotional Insight also appear to tap cognitive abilities. These measures formed a first-order factor related to Crystallized Intelligence. However, these measures were associated with Verbal Ability, and additional research is needed to determine whether they are simply new measures of Verbal Ability. Although most ESI measures are self-report, self-report questionnaires are inferior to maximum-performance tests when measuring cognitive aspects of ESI. They tended to form method factors, correlate with personality dimensions but not intelligence tests, and correlate with Socially Desirable Responding. Maximum-performance tests, in contrast, did not form method factors, correlated with cognitive abilities but not personality dimensions, and were uncorrelated with Socially Desirable Responding.

description: A mailed questionnaire was used to assess consumer concerns and potential consumption response attributable to the introduction of bovine somatotropin (bST). Responses from 605 households in Virginia are described and analyzed. Logit models were estimated to identify which issues shape consumers' decisions to alter milk purchases contingent on the introduction of bST and to determine whether socioeconomic characteristics explain consumers' attitudes toward these issues. Estimates based on survey responses point toward sizable reductions in fluid milk purchases if bST is introduced. Large retail price reductions are predicted to be insufficient to offset these estimated decreases. Consumer education and marketing strategies are discussed.
