description: We present direct numerical simulations and alpha-model simulations of four familiar three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence effects: selective decay, dynamic alignment, inverse cascade of magnetic helicity, and the helical dynamo effect. The MHD alpha-model is shown to capture the long-wavelength spectra in all these problems, allowing for a significant reduction of computer time and memory at the same kinetic and magnetic Reynolds numbers. In the helical dynamo, not only does the alpha-model correctly reproduce the growth rate of magnetic energy during the kinematic regime, but it also captures the nonlinear saturation level and the late generation of a large scale magnetic field by the helical turbulence.

description: We estimate a system-of-equations model designed to measure the interaction between intertemporal patterns of changes in population, employment, and agricultural land densities. The model is applied to West Virginia for the 1990-1999 period. Consistent with recent findings on migration patterns, the results show that jobs followed people. New jobs were captured by commuters, while agricultural land losses were occurring in the commuters' counties of origin or bedroom communities. However, counties with relatively more profitable and concentrated agricultural enterprises were less susceptible to alternative land use pressure than counties with less productive or fragmented agricultural land. Elasticities indicate population change is elastic, whereas employment and agricultural land density changes are inelastic to factors affecting them. Growth management, when combined with agricultural land retention programs, may be most effective at preserving agricultural land in high growth or potential growth areas.

The Growing Prevalence of Emergency, Disaster, and Other Ad Hoc Farm Program Payments: Implications for Agri-Environmental and Conservation Programs

Year: 2004

description: The use of emergency, disaster, and other ad hoc sources of income support to American farmers escalated dramatically between 1991 and 2002, increasing year-to-year uncertainty about the magnitude and distribution of farm program benefits. Ad hoc payment mechanisms, while meeting needs now apparently unsatisfied by other farm programs, have the potential to substitute for or conflict with agri-environmental and conservation program goals. Federal budget constraints likely make continued growth in ad hoc payment schemes unsustainable, raising questions about what will take their place. There is ample room for new research on how alternative farm program approaches and program combinations interact to affect stewardship behavior and associated agri-environmental outcomes.

description: Following Weitzman (1974), there is ample theoretical literature indicating that choice of pollution control instruments under conditions of uncertainty will affect the expected net benefits that can be realized from environmental protection. However, there is little empirical research on the ex ante efficiency of alternative instruments for controlling water, or other types of pollution, under uncertainty about costs and benefits. Using a simulation model that incorporates various sources of uncertainty, the ex ante efficiency of price and quantity controls applied to two alternative policy targets, fertilizer application rates and estimated excess nitrogen applications, are examined under varying assumptions about agricultural income support policies. Results indicate price instruments outperform quantity instruments. A tax on excess nitrogen substantially outperforms a fertilizer tax in the scenario with support programs, while the ranking is reversed in the scenario without support programs.

description: This study evaluates first- and second-best trading policies for regulating watershed phosphorus under asymmetric information. The trading policies are differentiated on the degree to which regulators observe point and nonpoint source abatement efforts. The efficiency losses attributable to these informational asymmetries and those of the second-best policies can be measured in social welfare, and provide regulators the shadow value of foregoing first-best measures. Given representative monitoring costs from national water monitoring programs, it is shown that under asymmetric information, the chosen second-best trading policies outperform first-best policies by 11% in the control of watershed nutrient pollution.

description: Real-time gas classification is an essential issue and challenge in applications such as food and beverage quality control, accident prevention in industrial environments, for instance. In recent years, the Deep Learning (DL) models have shown great potential to classify and forecast data in diverse problems, even in the electronic nose (E-Nose) field. In this work, we used a Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm and three different DL models to validate the rapid detection approach (based on processing an early portion of raw signals and a rising window protocol) over different measurement conditions. We performed a set of trials with five different E-Nose databases that include fifteen datasets. Based on the results, we concluded that the proposed approach has a high potential, and it can be suitable to be used for E-nose technologies, reducing the necessary time for making forecasts and accelerating the response time. Because in most cases, it achieved reliable estimates using only the first 30% or fewer of measurement data (counted after the gas injection starts.) The findings suggest that the rapid detection approach generates reliable forecasting models using different classification methods. Still, SVM seems to obtain the best accuracy, right window size, and better training time.

description: Imports of milk protein concentrates (MPCs) are increasingly entering the United States with minimal trade restrictions. MPC is a general reference to a dried protein product derived from milk using a technology known as "ultra filtration." Two questions are addressed in this article. First, did the combination of relaxed import restrictions, low world prices for protein, and relatively high domestic support levels for nonfat dry milk encourage imports of MPCs? Second, did increased imports of MPC displace domestic use of nonfat dry milk and thereby increase government purchases under the dairy price support program? This study has implications for U.S. trade policy.

Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: The 2002 Farm Act is used as a case study of three problematic considerations related to economists' role in policy issues: priority on economic efficiency versus income distribution, the role of benefit-cost analysis, and appropriate policies given market power of agribusiness. The results of the 2002 Act relevant to each of these issues have been widely criticized, raising questions about the effectiveness of economists' involvement. However, given the uncertainties about many key program effects, criticisms of the Act are themselves in question. In this context, the role of economists is seen analytically as generating information for Bayesian decision makers, and practically as gaining attention for that information in the political process.
ECONOMICS OF BEEF COW CULLING AND REPLACEMENT DECISIONS UNDER GENETIC PROGRESS

description: Beef cow managers annually face the question of which animals to cull from the herd and replace. The results of this decision affect not only current revenues, but, by altering the genetic composition of the herd, also affect the future profitability of the herd. These genetic changes of the herd may, therefore, be represented as a form of endogenous technological progress to the cow calf producer. This article derives general asset replacement criteria for assets undergoing either exogenous or endogenous progress and illustrates their application with a Florida cow herd example.

description: This study examines the effects that a cutback in production by Texas agricultural producers would have on the economic well-being of all producers and consumers in the state's economy. To do this, a quadratic input-output model incorporating econometric estimates of final demand was developed for the Texas economy. The output of the agricultural production sectors was constrained to reflect the cutback in production. The results show that agricultural producers would be economically worse off than before only if the producers of raw agricultural products in Texas imported their input needs from other geographical areas.

description: We investigate predictions of a minimal realistic non-supersymmetric SU(5) grand unified theory. To accomplish unification and generate neutrino mass we introduce one extra Higgs representation--a 15 of SU(5)--to the particle content of the minimal Georgi-Glashow scenario. Generic prediction of this setup is a set of rather light scalar leptoquarks. In the case of the most natural implementation of the type II see-saw mechanism their mass is in the phenomenologically interesting region (O(10^2--10^3) GeV). As such, our scenario has a potential to be tested at the next generation of collider experiments, particularly at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The presence of the 15 generates additional contributions to proton decay which, for light scalar leptoquarks, can be more important than the usual gauge d=6 ones. We exhaustively study both and show that the scenario is not excluded by current experimental bounds on nucleon lifetimes.

Stable models of gravastar have been constructed in many of the alternate gravity models besides standard General Relativity (GR). The Randall-Sundrum (RS) braneworld model has been a popular alternative to GR, specially in the cosmological and astrophysical context. Here we consider a gravastar model in RS brane gravity. The mathematical solutions in different regions have been obtained along with calculation of matching conditions. Various important physical parameters for the shell have been calculated and plotted to see their variation with radial distance. We also calculate and plot the surface redshift to check the stability of the gravastar within the purview of RS brane gravity.

Subjects: Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: An operational program to develop and disseminate probabilistic outlook information for agricultural commodities would allow decision makers to better comprehend the degree of uncertainty associated with future prices. While there are psychological limitations to the estimation or probabilities, this is a skill that can be taught and developed, particularly among experienced forecasters such as outlook specialists. Techniques are available for eliciting probabilities, and weather forecasting experience demonstrates that experts can quantify probabilities in a reliable manner. The components of a program to develop and disseminate outlook probabilities should include a survey of user needs, training programs for participating outlook specialists, and user educational programs. Further research is needed to develop elicitation techniques, and to evaluate costs and benefits.

description: The Box-Cox transformation (BCT) has been frequently used as both a flexible functional form and as a decision device to distinguish among alternative model specifications. Most researchers have failed to recognize that the BCT when applied to the dependent variable can compensate for heteroskedasticity. This paper investigates a new procedure which estimates both the BCT parameters and the analytic form of heteroskedasticity. Results from the new procedure are compared to estimates obtained from the traditional method of estimating BCT models. Comparisons indicate that proper specification of the error variance can influence the magnitude of BCT parameters and alter the results of hypothesis testing.

description: A compact setup for two-way single-photon-level frequency conversion between 852 nm and 1560 nm has been implemented with the same periodically-poled magnesium-oxide-doped lithium niobate (PPMgO:LN) bulk crystals for connecting cesium D2 line (852 nm) to telecom C-band. By single-pass mixing a strong continuous-wave pump laser at 1878 nm and the single-photon-level periodical signal pulses in a 50-mm-long PPMgO:LN bulk crystal, the conversion efficiency of ~1.7% ( ~1.9%) for 852-nm to 1560-nm down-conversion (1560-nm to 852-nm up-conversion) have been achieved. We analyzed noise photons induced by the strong pump laser beam, including the spontaneous Raman scattering (SRS) and the spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) photons, and the photons generated in the cascaded nonlinear processes. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has been improved remarkably by using the narrow-band filters and changing polarization of the noise photons in the difference frequency generation (DFG) process. With further improvement of the conversion efficiency by employing PPMgO:LN waveguide, instead of bulk crystal, our study may provide the basics for cyclic photon conversion in quantum network.

description: The analysis of the results of a depletion code is often considered a tedious and delicate task for it requires both the processing of large volume of information (the time dependent composition of up to thousands isomeric states) and an extensive experience of nuclear reactions and associated nuclear data. From these observations, dedicated developments have been integrated to the upcoming version of the Monte Carlo depletion code VESTA 2.2, in order to implement an innovative representation of depletion problems. The aim is to provide user with an adapted and efficient framework to ease the analysis of the results of the code and facilitate their interpretation. This effort ultimately culminated in the development of the representation of the isotope evolution of a given system as a directed graph. In this paper, it is shown that the Bateman equation encoded in the VESTA code indeed possesses a natural interpretation in terms of directed cyclic graph and it is proposed to explore some of the insight one can gain from the graph representation of a depletion problem. Starting from the new capabilities of the code, it is shown how one can build on the wealth of existing methods of graph theory in order to gain useful information about the nuclear reactions taking place in a material under irradiation. The graph representation of a depletion problem being especially simple in activation problems, for then only a limited number of nuclides and reactions are involved, the graph representation and its associated tools will be used to study the evolution of the structure materials of a simplifed model of the ITER fusion reactor.

description: The constant elasticity of transformation (CET) linear supply model is adapted and evaluated in this analysis of short-run supply response of six Texas field crops. Cross-product supply elasticities are estimated and direct supply elasticities are derived. The sensitivity of estimated parameters to alternative specifications of variables inducing shifts in the production possibilities surface is examined. Shift variables considered include input level, technology, government programs, and weather. The effect of risk on supply response is also examined. The model's symmetry assumption is tested and not rejected. All of the own-price elasticities derived from the fully-specified supply model estimates have expected signs, but less than half of the alternative-product price elasticities do. Price parameter signs are quite stable, but the large number of significant risk parameters and unexpected price parameter signs challenges the general adequacy of the CET model for measuring Texas field crop supply response.

description: A novel series of liquid crystals involving cinnamate-based mesogenic units interlinked between aromatic ester and alkyl bromide were designed and synthesized. All target molecules were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS, and elemental analysis. The mesomorphic behavior of novel synthesized materials (P1–P18), (V1–V18), and (M1–M18) was investigated through a polarizing optical microscope, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis. The lower carbon chain substituted member showed nematic phase while compound possess higher carbon chain exhibited only SmC phase. Thermal stability is determined by TGA analysis. All the cinnamate derivatives were screened for their anti-microbial, anti-malarial, and anti-tuberculosis potency. Among them, most of the derivatives exhibited outstanding anti-bacterial and anti-tuberculosis activity. Some derivatives also exhibited potent anti-fungal activity.

description: We quantify the performance of mass mapping techniques on mock imaging and gravitational lensing data of galaxy clusters. The optimum method depends upon the scientific goal. We assess measurements of clusters' radial density profiles, departures from sphericity, and their filamentary attachment to the cosmic web. We find that mass maps produced by direct (KS93) inversion of shear measurements are unbiased, and that their noise can be suppressed via filtering with MRLens. Forward-fitting techniques, such as Lenstool, suppress noise further, but at a cost of biased ellipticity in the cluster core and over-estimation of mass at large radii. Interestingly, current searches for filaments are noise-limited by the intrinsic shapes of weakly lensed galaxies, rather than by the projection of line-of-sight structures. Therefore, space-based or balloon-based imaging surveys that resolve a high density of lensed galaxies, could soon detect one or two filaments around most clusters.

At an infinite dilution of colloids, the effective interactions between colloids and ions are determined for ionic concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 0.1 mol/l and compared to those derived from the Poisson-Boltzmann theory. At finite concentrations, we discuss on the basis of the HNC results the possibility of an unambiguous definition of the effective interactions between the colloidal molecules.

description: Following previous work, we identify a symmetry S_nat that generalizes the concept of custodial symmetry, keeping under control deviations from the Standard Model (SM). To realize S_nat linearly, the space of gauge fields has to be extended. Covariant constraints formulated in terms of spurions reduce S_nat back to SU(2)_L x U(1)_Y. This allows for a covariant introduction of explicit S_nat-breaking parameters. We assume that S_nat is at play in a theory of electroweak symmetry-breaking without a light Higgs particle. We describe some consequences of this assumption, using a non-decoupling effective theory in which the loop expansion procedure is based on both momentum and spurion power counting, as in Chiral Perturbation Theory. A hierarchy of lepton-number violating effects follows. Leading corrections to the SM are non-oblique. The effective theory includes stable light right-handed neutrinos, with an unbroken Z_2 symmetry forbidding neutrino Dirac masses. nu_R contribution to dark matter places bounds on their masses.

description: The interaction of atomic clusters with short, intense pulses of laser light to form extremely hot, dense plasmas has attracted extensive experimental and theoretical interest. The high density of atoms within the cluster greatly enhances the atom--laser interaction, while the finite size of the cluster prevents energy from escaping the interaction region. Recent technological advances have allowed experiments to probe the laser--cluster interaction at very high photon energies, with interactions much stronger than suggested by theories for lower photon energies. We present a model of the laser--cluster interaction which uses non-perturbative R-matrix techniques to calculate inverse bremsstrahlung and photoionization cross sections for Herman-Skillman atomic potentials. We describe the evolution of the cluster under the influence of the processes of inverse bremsstrahlung heating, photoionization, collisional ionization and recombination, and expansion of the cluster. We compare charge state distribution, charge state ejection energies, and total energy absorbed with the Hamburg experiment of Wabnitz {\em et al.} [Nature {\bf 420}, 482 (2002)] and ejected electron spectra with Laarmann {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 95}, 063402 (2005)].

description: Using the largest mosaic of Hubble Space Telescope images around a galaxy cluster, we map the distribution of dark matter throughout a $\sim$$6\times6$ Mpc$^2$ area centred on the cluster MS 0451-03 ($z=0.54$, $M_{200}=1.65\times10^{15} \rm{M}_\odot$). Our joint strong- and weak-lensing analysis shows three possible filaments extending from the cluster, encompassing six group-scale substructures. The dark-matter distribution in the cluster core is elongated, consists of two distinct components, and is characterized by a concentration parameter of $c_{200}=3.79\pm0.36$. By contrast, XMM-Newton observations show the gas distribution to be more spherical, with excess entropy near the core, and a lower concentration of $c_{200}=2.35^{+0.89}_{-0.70}$ (assuming hydrostatic equilibrium). Such a configuration is predicted in simulations of major mergers 2-7Gyr after the first core passage, when the two dark-matter halos approach second turnaround, and before their gas has relaxed. This post-merger scenario finds further support in optical spectroscopy of the cluster's member galaxies, which shows that star formation was abruptly quenched 5 Gyr ago. MS 0451-03 will be an ideal target for future studies of the growth of structure along filaments, star-formation processes after a major merger, and the late-stage evolution of cluster collisions.

Afshar's Experiment does not show a Violation of Complementarity

description: A recent experiment performed by S. Afshar [first reported by M. Chown, New Scientist {\bf 183}, 30 (2004)] is analyzed. It was claimed that this experiment could be interpreted as a demonstration of a violation of the principle of complementarity in quantum mechanics. Instead, it is shown here that it can be understood in terms of classical wave optics and the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics. Its performance is quantified and it is concluded that the experiment is suboptimal in the sense that it does not fully exhaust the limits imposed by quantum mechanics.

Mirror World and Axion: Relaxing Cosmological Bounds

description: The cosmological (upper) limit on the Peccei-Quinn constant, related to the primordial oscillations of the axion field, can be relaxed for a mirror axion model. The simple reason is that the mirror world is colder and so the behavior of the axion temperature-dependent mass is dominated by the contribution from the mirror sector. So the coherent oscillations start earlier and correspondingly the axion mass density Ω_a h^2 is reduced.

AN ECONOMIC INVESTIGATION INTO INFLATION PASSTHROUGH TO THE FARM SECTOR

description: The purpose of this study is to estimate the impact of general inflation on prices paid and received by farmers. Specific objectives are: (1) to test the hypothesis that the farm commodity domestic demand function at the farm level is homogeneous of degree zero in price and income; and (2), conditional on not rejecting the hypothesis in (1), to test the hypothesis that general inflation changes the ratio of prices received to prices paid by farmers because of impacts unevenly on prices and income in the demand function versus the supply function for farm output. Empirical results provided no basis to reject the hypothesis that economic functions determining demand for output at the farm level are homogenous of degree zero in income and prices. A truly general increment in overall price level appears to increase nominal prices received and farm demand in proportion to the general price level but leaves real farm demand and hence real demand price unchanged. This hypothesis could not be rejected based on the domestic components of demand for farm output examined in this study. Given demand and supply functions homogeneous of degree zero in all prices and income, the second hypothesis that general inflation impacts evenly on all prices and income was rejected for the 1963-77 period. In that period, national inflation moved upward the supply curve through prices paid by farmers proportionately more than it moved upward the demand curve and prices received by farmers, contributing to a cost-price squeeze.

description: A multivariate model of the effect of population on local fiscal behavior, assessed value of property and average single family home values is estimated using cross-sectional data from Oregon. Regression results suggest that property tax levies are unit elastic with respect to population, that the total assessed value of property increases less than proportionally with population, and that the average value of a single family home increases with population. These results imply a positive relationship between population and both property tax rates and the tax bill of the average single family homeowner. Ceteris paribus, increases in average residential property taxes are associated with increases in population.

description: The new Schiff base of compound was synthesized and characterized by XRD, FTIR, UV–Vis and NMR techniques. The structure with two molecules in its asymmetric unit showed the enol-imine form in one and the keto-amine form in the other. Both tautomeric forms are stabilized by strong O–H…N and N–H…O intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Optimized geometrical parameters and calculated spectroscopic features obtained by DFT/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations show a good agreement with the experimental data. Accordingly local and global chemical activity descriptors were investigated.
