Demand and Price Analysis

description: Implications of real cash balances as a productive input in agricultural production are explored. A system of aggregate input demand functions for agriculture including real cash balances is formulated and estimated, assuming that producers minimize input costs for a given output level. Empirical results suggest real cash balances are an important contributor to agricultural production. Their exclusion from production studies may lead to serious specification biases. Tests herein indicate that the demand for cash balances is relatively inelastic with respect to changes in the user cost of money and that real cash balances are a substitute for machinery and capital.

description: We have found experimentally that the shot noise of the tunneling current $I$ through an undoped semiconductor superlattice is reduced with respect to the Poissonian noise value $2eI$, and that the noise approaches 1/3 of that value in superlattices whose quantum wells are strongly coupled. On the other hand, when the coupling is weak or when a strong electric field is applied to the superlattice the noise becomes Poissonian. Although our results are qualitatively consistent with existing theories for one-dimensional mulitple barriers, the theories cannot account for the dependence of the noise on superlattice parameters that we have observed.

description: All-day and all-weather navigation is a critical capability for autonomous driving, which requires proper reaction to varied environmental conditions and complex agent behaviors. Recently, with the rise of deep learning, end-to-end control for autonomous vehicles has been well studied. However, most works are solely based on visual information, which can be degraded by challenging illumination conditions such as dim light or total darkness. In addition, they usually generate and apply deterministic control commands without considering the uncertainties in the future. In this paper, based on imitation learning, we propose a probabilistic driving model with ultiperception capability utilizing the information from the camera, lidar and radar. We further evaluate its driving performance online on our new driving benchmark, which includes various environmental conditions (e.g., urban and rural areas, traffic densities, weather and times of the day) and dynamic obstacles (e.g., vehicles, pedestrians, motorcyclists and bicyclists). The results suggest that our proposed model outperforms baselines and achieves excellent generalization performance in unseen environments with heavy traffic and extreme weather.

description: Heterogeneous domain adaptation (HDA) transfers knowledge across source and target domains that present heterogeneities e.g., distinct domain distributions and difference in feature type or dimension. Most previous HDA methods tackle this problem through learning a domain-invariant feature subspace to reduce the discrepancy between domains. However, the intrinsic semantic properties contained in data are under-explored in such alignment strategy, which is also indispensable to achieve promising adaptability. In this paper, we propose a Simultaneous Semantic Alignment Network (SSAN) to simultaneously exploit correlations among categories and align the centroids for each category across domains. In particular, we propose an implicit semantic correlation loss to transfer the correlation knowledge of source categorical prediction distributions to target domain. Meanwhile, by leveraging target pseudo-labels, a robust triplet-centroid alignment mechanism is explicitly applied to align feature representations for each category. Notably, a pseudo-label refinement procedure with geometric similarity involved is introduced to enhance the target pseudo-label assignment accuracy. Comprehensive experiments on various HDA tasks across text-to-image, image-to-image and text-to-text successfully validate the superiority of our SSAN against state-of-the-art HDA methods.

description: A homogeneous sample comprising host galaxies of 604 recent supernovae, including 212 objects discovered primarily in 2003 and 2004, has been classified on the David Dunlap Observatory system. Most SN 1991bg-like SNe Ia occur in E and E/Sa galaxies, whereas the majority of SN 1991T-like SNe Ia occur in intermediate-type galaxies. This difference is significant at the 99.9% level. As expected, all types of SNe II are rare in early-type galaxies, whereas normal SNe Ia occur in all Hubble types. This difference is significant at the 99.99% level. A small number of SNe II in E galaxies might be due to galaxy classification errors, or to a small young-population component in these mainly old objects. No significant difference is found between the distributions over Hubble type of SNe Ibc and SNe II. This confirms that both of these types of objects have similar (massive) progenitors. The present data show that, in order to understand the dependence of supernova type on host-galaxy population, it is more important to obtain accurate morphological classifications than it is to increase the size of the data sample.

description: An integrated investigation of futures price, cash price, and government programs is presented in the context of an econometric model of acreage supply response for U.S. corn and soybeans. The analysis refines the role of different sources of price information in the farmers' acreage decision. It is found that the government corn support price program plays a major role in corn and soybean production decisions. Also, the results indicate that futures prices are not good proxies for expected future cash prices in the presence of government programs. This raises questions about the information efficiency of futures prices when government intervenes in the market place.

description: A recreation allocation model is developed which efficiently selects recreation areas and degree of development from an array of proposed and existing sites. The model does this by maximizing the difference between gross recreation benefits and travel, investment, management, and site-opportunity costs. The model presented uses the Travel Cost Method for estimating recreation benefits within an operations research framework. The model is applied to selection of potential wilderness areas in Colorado. This example is then extended to show the model's capability in budget analysis and in planning to meet recreation targets.

description: Solving stochastic games with the reachability objective is a fundamental problem, especially in quantitative verification and synthesis. For this purpose, bounded value iteration (BVI) attracts attention as an efficient iterative method. However, BVI's performance is often impeded by costly end component (EC) computation that is needed to ensure convergence. Our contribution is a novel BVI algorithm that conducts, in addition to local propagation by the Bellman update that is typical of BVI, global propagation of upper bounds that is not hindered by ECs. To conduct global propagation in a computationally tractable manner, we construct a weighted graph and solve the widest path problem in it. Our experiments show the algorithm's performance advantage over the previous BVI algorithms that rely on EC computation.

description: We report on microscopic calculations for the 4He compound system in the framework of the resonating group model employing realistic nucleon-nucleon and three nucleon forces. The resulting scattering phase shifts are compared to those of a comprehensive R-matrix analysis of all data in this system, which are available in numerical form. The agreement between calculation and analysis is in most cases very good. Adding three-nucleon forces yields in many cases large effects. For a few cases the new agreement is striking. We relate some differencies between calculation and analysis to specific data and discuss neccessary experiments to clarify the situation. From the results we conclude that the data of the 4He system might be well suited to determine the structure of the three-nucleon force.

description: Aggregate U.S. agricultural supply response is modeled through a modified partial adjustment model, where the effects of weather and other temporal stochastic effects are structured to be purely static, while the effects of price and technology, or trend, are dynamic. The model is applied to a time series of aggregate U.S. farm output, aggregate U.S. crop production, and aggregate U.S. livestock and livestock products production for several sample periods within the period 1911-1958. The three aggregate output indexes are tested for irreversibilities in supply response, and no evidence of a definitive irreversible supply function is found for any of the dynamic supply models. The use of a nonstochastic difference equation to model the aggregate farm output and crop production equations results in short-run elasticity estimates that are somewhat smaller than previous studied suggest while the long-run elasticities are somewhat larger.

description: Using HST images, we separate the bulge-like (pbulge) and disk-like (pdisk) components of 71 galaxies in the rich cluster MS1054-03 and of 21 in the field. Our key finding is that luminous pbulges are very red with restframe U-B ~ 0.45, while predicted colors are bluer by 0.20 mag. Moreover, these very red colors appear to be independent of environment, pbulge luminosity, pdisk color, and pbulge fraction. These results challenge any models of hierarchical galaxy formation that predict the colors of distant (z ~ 0.8) luminous field and cluster bulges would differ. Our findings also disagree with other claims that 30% to 50% of bright bulges and ellipticals at z ~ 1 are very blue (U-B < 0).

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. However, alongside all its advancements, problems have also emerged, such as privacy violations, security issues and model fairness. Differential privacy, as a promising mathematical model, has several attractive properties that can help solve these problems, making it quite a valuable tool. For this reason, differential privacy has been broadly applied in AI but to date, no study has documented which differential privacy mechanisms can or have been leveraged to overcome its issues or the properties that make this possible. In this paper, we show that differential privacy can do more than just privacy preservation. It can also be used to improve security, stabilize learning, build fair models, and impose composition in selected areas of AI. With a focus on regular machine learning, distributed machine learning, deep learning, and multi-agent systems, the purpose of this article is to deliver a new view on many possibilities for improving AI performance with differential privacy techniques.

description: This paper describes the processes of designing, administering, and evaluating a reading comprehension test for intermediate–level students who have taken a General English course at the English language centre of an Indonesian university. Using the R&D method, the writers developed the test which contains two authentic texts. The first text is It isn’t a Rehearsal, You Know, written by Ray Connolly and the second text is Ageing around the World, written by Timothy Johnson. The reading comprehension test is part of a summative assessment that is aimed at measuring the students’ ability to comprehend two different types of texts based on skimming, scanning, and vocabulary skills. Having done the processses of developing the reading test, the writers have some important points to revise including level of difficulty of the texts, the test organisation, and the reading skills tested. The writers recommend that understanding and practicing appropriate procedures to develop a reading comprehension test is not only crucial for English teachers to measure their students’ reading skills but also necessary for their professional development.
ALTERNATIVE ESTIMATION METHODS OF NONLINEAR DEMAND SYSTEMS

Year: 1983
Subjects: Demand and Price Analysis

description: Several contemporary models of consumer demand comprise complete sets on nonlinear demand functions. Estimation methods should take into account parameter nonlinearity, cross-equation correlation, variance-covariance singularity of the disturbance terms, and various parameter restrictions. This paper presents a theoretical discussion and some empirical results using the maximum likelihood (ML) method and the iterative version of Zellner's seemingly unrelated regression (IZEF) method in the estimation of a nonlinear system of demand equations (the linear expenditure system) when the disturbance terms are both contemporaneously and serially correlated. On the basis of the evaluation of parameter estimates and their asymptotic standard errors as well as the cost of computation effort, the IZEF technique is preferred over the ML technique in this empirical problem.

description: We explore the possibility of performing super dense coding with non-maximally entangled states as a resource. Using this we find that one can send two classical bits in a probabilistic manner by sending a qubit. We generalize our scheme to higher dimensions and show that one can communicate 2log_2 d classical bits by sending a d-dimensional quantum state with a certain probability of success. The success probability in super dense coding is related to the success probability of distinguishing non-orthogonal states. The optimal average success probabilities are explicitly calculated. We consider the possibility of sending 2 log_2 d classical bits with a shared resource of a higher dimensional entangled state (D X D, D > d). It is found that more entanglement does not necessarily lead to higher success probability. This also answers the question as to why we need log_2 d ebits to send 2 log_2 d classical bits in a deterministic fashion.

description: The Orion Complex is a notable star forming region, that it is fragmented into several different populations that have substantial difference in their phase space. I propose a model that attempts to explain the how the Complex has evolved to this current configuration. In this model, the large scale expansion can be attributable to a supernova that has exploded 6 Myr ago. The remnant of which can be seen as Barnard's loop, as the center of the expansion is consistent with the geometrical center of the HII bubble. This is similar to the HII bubble and the ballistic expansion that is associated with $λ$ Ori, a region which has also been a site of an ancient supernova. Assuming that the Orion Complex has originally been forming as one long filament spanning from the bottom of Orion A to $ψ^2$ Ori (or, potentially, as far as $λ$ Ori), Barnard's loop supernova could have split the cloud, which lead to the formation of Orion C \& D. Furthermore, the shockwave that has propagated into the filament could have swept along the gas through several pc, which lead to the formation of the singularly most massive cluster in the Solar Neighborhood, the ONC. I also discuss other related nearby events, such as the formation of the Monogem ring, and various runaways that have been ejected from the Orion Complex.

description: An annual dynamic model of the primary and derived levels of the U.S. beef industry was estimated by rational distributed lags. Geometric rational lags at the retail level were instrumental in establishing prices in the dressed meat trade and the slaughter and feeder levels. Polynomial rational lags characterized primary inventory supply, which, along with cattle and corn prices, determined the production of fed and nonfed beef. The results suggest that the short- and long-term market behavior in the beef industry is better understood when higher and lower order market interactions are taken into account.

description: We study noise induced switching in systems far from equilibrium by using an underdamped micromechanical torsional oscillator driven into the nonlinear regime. Within a certain range of driving frequencies, the oscillator possesses two stable dynamical states with different oscillation amplitudes. We induce the oscillator to escape from one dynamical state into the other by introducing noise in the excitation. By measuring the rate of random transitions as a function of noise intensity, we deduce the activation energy as a function of frequency detuning. Close to the critical point, the activation energy is expected to display system-independent scaling. The measured critical exponent is in good agreement with variational calculations and asymptotic scaling theory.

description: We model the process of dust coagulation in protoplanetary disks and calculate how it affects their observational appearance. Our model involves the detailed solution of the coagulation equation at every location in the disk. At regular time intervals we feed the resulting 3-D dust distribution functions into a continuum radiative transfer code to obtain spectral energy distributions. We find that, even if only the very basic -- and well understood -- coagulation mechanisms are included, the process of grain growth is much too quick to be consistent with infrared observations of T Tauri disks. Small grains are removed so efficiently that, long before the disk reaches an age of 1E6 years typical of T Tauri stars, the SED shows only very weak infrared excess. This is inconsistent with observed SEDs of most classical T Tauri stars. Small grains somehow need to be replenished, for instance by aggregate fragmentation through high-speed collisions. A very simplified calculation shows that when aggregate fragmentation is included, a quasi-stationary grain size distribution is obtained in which growth and fragmentation are in equilibrium. This quasi-stationary state may last 1E6 years or even longer, dependent on the circumstances in the disk, and may bring the time scales into the right regime. We conclude that a simple evolutionary scenario in which grains slowly grow from pristine 0.1 micron grains to larger grains over a period of a few Myr is most likely incorrect.

description: Zeeman spectra of the R lines of ruby (Cr$^{3+}$: $α$-Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$) were studied in ultrahigh magnetic fields up to 230 T by magneto-photoluminescence measurements. The observed Zeeman patterns exhibit nonlinear behaviors above 100 T, evidencing the breakdown of the previously reported Paschen-Back effect for ${\bf B} \perp c$ geometry. We adopted the crystal-field multiplet theory including the cubic crystal field (${\mathcal H}_{\rm cubic}$), the trigonal crystal field (${\mathcal H}_{\rm trig}$), the spin-orbit interaction (${\mathcal H}_{\rm SO}$), and the Zeeman interaction (${\mathcal H}_{\rm Z}$). It is found that the nonlinear splitting of the R lines is owing to the hybridization between the $^{2}E$ and $^{2}T_{1}$ states, which leads to the quantization of these Zeeman levels with the orbital angular momentum. Our results suggest that the exquisite energy balance among ${\mathcal H}_{\rm cubic}$, ${\mathcal H}_{\rm trig}$, ${\mathcal H}_{\rm SO}$, and ${\mathcal H}_{\rm Z}$ realized in ruby offers a unique opportunity to observe the onset of the $crystal-field$ Paschen-Back effect toward the high-field extreme.

A genetic analysis of the mating system of sockeye salmon
Creators: name: Mahranvar, Ladan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: It has now been widely shown that the genetic mating system of an organism determined using genetic markers can be very different to the social mating system based on behavioural observations. However, it is less well known what particular characteristics make an individual more or less successful than expected from the observed system. I present the first attempt to measure individual genetic reproductive success, as evidenced by microsatellite parentage assignment, and to compare this measure to the behavioural mating success in sockeye salmon, Oncorhynchus nerka. Approximately 40% of the variation in the genetic reproductive success of males was accounted for by the behavioural estimates of dominance and consort behaviour, whereas no reasonable behavioural estimate of female genetic success, measured as her genetic mate quality, was found. There was a high variance in individual reproductive success in males, and a high number of mates acquired by both males and females, suggesting that multiple mating partners is a rule rather than an exception. There was also a significant correlation between the number of genetic mates acquired and the number of offspring sired in males. This study also investigated whether any traits (size, shape, energy content, longevity) predicted the social mating success of males and females. I found little evidence supporting the prediction from previous studies of a significant correlation between individual size and social mating success for either males or females. Instead, body shape (exaggeration of secondary sexual characteristics) and longevity predicted dominance and consort behaviour in male sockeye salmon, and pre-spawning energy content predicted female longevity and social mating success. Finally, I present path models for both males and females describing the causal relationships among life history traits, social mating success and genetic reproductive success (or genetic mate quality in females) based on my previous results. Overall, these results indicate that this species' mating system is more flexible than previously thought and suggest that the behavioural estimates of mating success are not always successful predictors of the genetic reproductive success. Whether this low congruence is due to a high sneaking rate or to poor estimates of behavioural or genetic spawning success is unknown.

description: Long criticized, pluriactivity is now perceived as an alternative agricultural strategy and it is becoming a subject of support policies in certain territories. But having an off-farm professional activity can generate significant work overload and organisational problems that might be complicated to manage in the long term. This study focuses on pluriactivity as a dynamic strategy that evolves over time due to family circumstances and job opportunities. We differentiate the initial project of pluriactivity and the strategies farmers use in order to manage overwork. We use an original qualitative approach and 28 interviews of pluriactive farmers in “Nord Pas de Calais” (NPdC), region located in northern France. We find that even if the main motivations of pluriactivity are patrimonial and economic, the initial projects of pluriactivity vary a lot, for some farmers pluriactivity is a patrimonial investment or passion for farming project but for others pluriactivity is intended to be a short-run strategy until the farms gets bigger and more profitable. Then farmers develop different strategies that lead to develop the farm or they reduce farm activities because they cannot give more time to the farm.

description: Techniques such as detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) and its extensions have been widely used to determine the nature of scaling in nucleotide sequences. In this brief communication we show that tandem repeats which are ubiquitous in nucleotide sequences can prevent reliable estimation of possible long-range correlations. Therefore, it is important to investigate the presence of tandem repeats prior to scaling exponent estimation.

DNA Methylation Data to Predict Suicidal and Non-Suicidal Deaths: A Machine Learning Approach

description: The objective of this study is to predict suicidal and non-suicidal deaths from DNA methylation data using a modern machine learning algorithm. We used support vector machines to classify existing secondary data consisting of normalized values of methylated DNA probe intensities from tissues of two cortical brain regions to distinguish suicide cases from control cases. Before classification, we employed Principal component analysis (PCA) and t-distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) to reduce the dimension of the data. In comparison to PCA, the modern data visualization method t-SNE performs better in dimensionality reduction. t-SNE accounts for the possible non-linear patterns in low-dimensional data. We applied four-fold cross-validation in which the resulting output from t-SNE was used as training data for the Support Vector Machine (SVM). Despite the use of cross-validation, the nominally perfect prediction of suicidal deaths for BA11 data suggests possible over-fitting of the model. The study also may have suffered from 'spectrum bias' since the individuals were only studied from two extreme scenarios. This research constitutes a baseline study for classifying suicidal and non-suicidal deaths from DNA methylation data. Future studies with larger sample size, while possibly incorporating methylation data from living individuals, may reduce the bias and improve the accuracy of the results.
Saturated-State Turbulence and Structure from Thermal and Magnetorotational Instability in the ISM: Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulations

description: This paper reports on 3D numerical simulations of dynamics and thermodynamics in the diffuse ISM. Our models are local, account for sheared galactic rotation, magnetic fields, and realistic cooling, and resolve scales ~1-200 pc. This combination permits the study of quasi-steady turbulence in a cloudy medium representing the warm/cold atomic ISM. Turbulence is driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI); our models are the first to study the saturated state of MRI under strongly inhomogeneous conditions, with cloud/intercloud contrasts of about 100. For volume-averaged densities n=0.25 - 4 cm^3, the saturated-state velocity dispersion ranges from 8-1 km/s, scaling as n^-0.77. The MRI is therefore likely quite important in driving turbulence in low-density ISM regions, both at high latitudes in the inner Galaxy,and throughout the far outer Galaxy. The MRI may be key to suppressing star formation at large radii in spiral galaxies, where without MRI-driven turbulence, a thin, cold layer could form and become gravitationally instable. Our presentation also includes analysis of thermal structure (temperature and density PDFs are broadened and include extreme departures from equilibrium, but retain the classical two-phase bimodal character); results on the distribution of clump masses (the mass spectrum peaks at about 100 solar masses); comparisons of saturated-state MRI scalings with single-phase simulation results (we find B^2 is independent of n); and examples of synthetic HI line profile maps (showing that physical clumps are not easily distinguished in velocity components, and vice versa).
