Motivational Interviewing As A Tool To Address Farm Stress, Farm Succession, And Other Difficult Conversations
Creators: name: Wantoch, Katie L.
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2022
Subjects: Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession

description: Farmers and their families live and work closely together. The demanding nature of work makes farming a stressful occupation. Cooperative Extension System (CES) educators are creating and expanding stress management and mental health resources to reduce farm stress and improve wellbeing. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a way of working collaboratively with people to support their motivation for and commitment to change. This paper reviews the development of an MI-based CES professional development program to improve the adoption of a goal-oriented communication technique that will assist educators when engaging with farmers and farm families. MI may prove helpful with increasing the likelihood that educators can assist in changing behaviors that may be impacting stress levels. In this training program, Extension educators with a wide range of subject matter expertise were able to increase their knowledge and comfort level with MI concepts and skills even though lacking prior background or experience with MI techniques. With improved communication skills, CES educators can meet the needs of the farmers and farm families they work with, and inspire behavior changes when engaging in meaningful conversations on critical and time-sensitive topics related to farm stress, farm succession, and other difficult conversations.

Reading as acting: the novel's casting call and readerly performance in the British nineteenth century
Creators: name: Jen, Christina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Situating nineteenth-century texts within the frameworks of underexplored theories and contexts of theater and performance, this dissertation argues that the activity of reading was understood in British nineteenth-century culture to be a preparatory stage in the acting process. Reading as Acting unfolds by drawing attention to figures of reading—characters, scenes of reading, readerly address—and analyzing the extent to which these moments in novels and performances prepare readers for theatrical show and social action. In this argument, texts function as acting manuals, dramatic props, and reading scripts that invite readers, especially female readers, to audition for conventional roles as well as alternative identities of feminist potential or social possibility. On the level of style, devices like free indirect discourse and parenthetical interruptions likewise configure the implied reader as character and actor, creating opportunities for readerly performance. Representations of reading in this argument not only demonstrate an important stage in the theatrical process of trying on roles, but they also respond to nineteenth-century anxieties about text-body correspondences, as well as to inconsistent notions of respectability positing blurry boundaries between reading and acting.

description: Analytic continuations of holographic entanglement entropy in which the boundary subregion extends along a timelike direction have brought a promise of a novel, time-centric probe of the emergence of spacetime. We propose that the bulk carriers of this holographic timelike entanglement entropy are boundary-anchored extremal surfaces probing analytic continuation of holographic spacetimes into complex coordinates. This proposal not only provides a geometric interpretation of all the known cases obtained by direct analytic continuation of closed-form expressions of holographic entanglement entropy of a strip subregion but crucially also opens a window to study holographic timelike entanglement entropy in full generality. We initialize the investigation of complex extremal surfaces anchored on a timelike strip at the boundary of anti-de Sitter black branes. We find multiple complex extremal surfaces and discuss possible principles singling out the physical contribution.

All-atom molecular dynamic simulations for peptoids: a procedure and implementation
Creators: name: Shovlin, Joseph
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Peptoids (poly-N-substituted glycines) are a special class of synthetic biopolymer. Peptoids have the same backbone structure as peptides, but have sidechains attached to backbone Nitrogens as opposed to α-carbons. This conformational change gives peptoids useful properties that make them candidates for practical application, but work is needed to determine how the sidechain composition and sidechain sequence of a peptoid infleunces its overall behavior.Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations are a promising tool that can be used to learn how a peptoid’s structure determines its behavior. MD simulations can be used to determine how a peptoid’s secondary structure influences its three-dimensional structure in solvated environments, as well as a peptoid’s ability to aggregate with other peptoids in solvated environments. The ability to understand aggregation behavior of peptoid’s has large implications for understanding the practical application of peptoids. Therefore, there is significant interest surrounding the development of MD simulations to simulate the aggregation behavior of peptoids.This work aims to develop a specific process for performing all-atom MD simulations on peptoids, and use the developed approach to explore the three-dimensional conformation and aggregation behavior of a 12-monomer peptoid unit. This work demonstrates how changes and additions can be made to already existing simulation forcefields to adapt them to peptoid simulations. This work will outline specifically how to set up a peptoid MD simulation by making specific changes to commonly used forcefields. After developing the process for creating a peptoid MD simulation, this work will use the process to simulate the molecular dynamics of a 12-monomer peptoid. It will show that the peptoid attains a helical three-dimensional conformation, and that the peptoid forms aggregates in solvated environments.

description: The objective of this analysis is to evaluate performance of different existing production systems within pig production using Denmark as study case. Our approach is to evaluate, based on farm level data representative for the Danish pig industry, the impacts of pig production on five sustainability-related dimensions concerning environmental and climate impacts, animal welfare, antibiotics use and production cost. Our contribution is a coherent documentation and evaluation of the impact on five dimensions for existing production systems. The overall finding is that there are inherent trade-offs between the evaluated dimensions of pig production but also that trade-offs can be affected. The strength of the study is that results are based on a comprehensive dataset from Denmark enabling us to quantify the trade-offs.

description: Analyzing sequences of interactions between users and items, sequential recommendation models can learn user intent and make predictions about the next item. Next to item interactions, most systems also have interactions with what we call non-item pages: these pages are not related to specific items but still can provide insights into the user's interests, as, for example, navigation pages. We therefore propose a general way to include these non-item pages in sequential recommendation models to enhance next-item prediction.
 First, we demonstrate the influence of non-item pages on following interactions using the hypotheses testing framework HypTrails and propose methods for representing non-item pages in sequential recommendation models. Subsequently, we adapt popular sequential recommender models to integrate non-item pages and investigate their performance with different item representation strategies as well as their ability to handle noisy data. To show the general capabilities of the models to integrate non-item pages, we create a synthetic dataset for a controlled setting and then evaluate the improvements from including non-item pages on two real-world datasets.
 Our results show that non-item pages are a valuable source of information, and incorporating them in sequential recommendation models increases the performance of next-item prediction across all analyzed model architectures.

description: Technology plays and increasingly important role in farm management worldwide. New technology includes, amongst others, automation and robotics, livestock technology, modern greenhouse practices, precision agriculture and artificial intelligence, Well-known technology such as soil moisture probes and soil chemical analysis still play and important role in effective and efficient farm management. The reliability of data and information provided by all these technological aids is of utmost importance. Soil chemical reports are used by farmers, advisors and fertilizer companies as the fundamental or core information to make recommendations on the types and quantities of inorganic fertilizer to be applied. Both under- and oversupply of fertilizers have meaningful implications. The objective was to determine the level of variation in soil analyses results amongst four different laboratories in South Africa. A large soil sample was taken, mixed, divided into 40 sub-samples, and periodically sent to four different soil laboratories in three different batches. Analysis indicated meaningful differences (p < 0,05) in the analysed levels of macro-elements (P) between laboratories, as well as between different batches within each laboratory, with less variation between microelements. Only with a reliable soil fertility record will the farmer be able to make important decisions regarding the fertilizer programme.

description: Motivated by recent scanning tunneling microscopy experiments on surfaces of Bi$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x'}$\cite{yazdanistm,gomesstm} and Bi$_2$Te$_3$,\cite{kaptunikstm,xuestm} we theoretically study the electronic structure of a 3-dimensional (3D) topological insulator in the presence of a local impurity or a domain wall on its surface using a 3D lattice model. While the local density of states (LDOS) oscillates significantly in space at energies above the bulk gap, the oscillation due to the in-gap surface Dirac fermions are very weak. The extracted modulation wave number as a function of energy satisfies the Dirac dispersion for in-gap energies and follows the border of the bulk continuum above the bulk gap. We have also examined analytically the effects of the defects by using a pure Dirac fermion model for the surface states and found that the LDOS decays asymptotically faster at least by a factor of 1/r than that in normal metals, consistent with the results obtained from our lattice model.

description: With the world still in the final throws of the Covid-19 Pandemic, it is now time to start asking questions on how the regulatory environment created by government have an impact on the Sector. In the case of South Africa, food production was declared an essential service from the outset, but health and safety concerns led to a ban on alcohol sales. In order to address the associated challenges, a number of unique interventions were introduced by the Western Cape Province of South Africa and in this way jobs and farming businesses were saved. However, an economic impact analysis has shown that the ban did lead to a sharp decline in profitability at farm level and the worst is still to come. Of major concern is the rise in illicit trade as a result of the curb on alcohol trade.

description: The purpose of this paper was to showcase how a sub-national organ of state can embrace developments the 4th IR and empower the Agricultural Sector to capitalise on innovations. A paper on 4th IR technologies, presented at IFMAâ€™s 21st Congress, was taken as point of departure and three different strategic processes were followed to design appropriate interventions. In the first 4th IR was placed in context and in the second the implications for the Agricultural Sector of a post Covid-19 future was analysed. As arid areas are often marginalised, the third strategic process exclusively focussed on the future of farming in these areas. It was found that implementation by the Department unwittingly started before the strategic processes was completed and a range of interventions using 4th IR technology were presented. Agricultural drones are playing an important role and the four-pronged approach followed (becoming a legal operator, supporting pilots to become legal, embracing technology and stimulating drone-use by farmers) were discussed. In addition to drones, other initiatives towards the democratisation of 4th IR technologies were also examined.

Wireless sensing by analog signal compression
Creators: name: Zhao, Xueyuan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: In this dissertation, the design, computer simulations, experimental evaluations, and theoretical analyses of new wireless sensing schemes were carried out systematically. A novel power-efficient and low-complexity analog sensor design is the foundation of this PhD thesis. This novel analog sensor hardware has signal compression capabilities in the analog domain and was validated by thorough computer simulations and hardware experiments. Moreover, the wireless sensor network prototype with the proposed analog sensor has been developed for practical wireless monitoring scenarios. Based on this experimentally validated prototype, the research progresses to the biosensing system in which the microfluidic and physiological signals are compressed in the analog domain for wireless health monitoring applications. On the other hand, theoretical analyses are investigated to deepen the understanding of signal recovery performance by the analog signal compression. Detailed theoretical derivations were performed, and both simulation and experimental results are presented regarding the key parameter optimizations. In summary, this dissertation is rooted in the idea of low-power analog sensor and is subsequently developed into persistent wireless sensing, biosensing applications, and theoretical investigations.
Unconventional ferroelectricity, quantum magnetism, and multiferroicity of single-crystalline quantum materials
Creators: name: Xu, Xianghan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: In the first chapter, single crystal growth techniques, ferroic orders, and magnetoelectricity are introduced. In the second chapter, the phenomenological theory of ferroelectric transition is introduced. Unconventional ferroelectrics examples Sr₃Sn₂O₇, a hybrid improper ferroelectrics with high tunability, and HfO₂:Y bulk crystals showing metastable ferroelectric phase are demonstrated to show how their single-crystalline materials help to improve the ferroelectric performance and understand the physics. The third chapter shows the multiple ferroic orders, novel magnetic ground state, and toroidal magnetoelectricity in a chiral magnet BaCoSiO₄, in which the single crystal unambiguously reveals the anisotropic magnetism and magnetoelectric tensor. Beyond the experimental demonstration of BaCoSiO₄, a new concept- magnetic chirality is proposed and discussed. In the last chapter, recently proposed unconventional crystal growth techniques are reviewed, and the growth and property of a chiral superconductor Mo₃Al₂C are introduced as a successful example of the alumina tube sealing technique. This thesis highlights the laser floating zone as a breakthrough growth technique leading to unique single-crystalline quantum materials which have not been studied before.

description: Succession planning is a critical part of owning a farm or ranch. It enables a business to continue operating smoothly and effectively as it is passed onto future generations, partners, or successor owners. Historically, farms and ranches in the United States were operated as sole proprietorships. The land, machinery, livestock, and other assets were owned and used by an individual or husband-wife couple. The farmer or rancher was the business and the business was the farmer or rancher. A number of organizational structures are now available that may better meet the needs of todayâ€™s farm and ranch businesses, especially as the retiring generation transitions ownership of the assets and business to the successor generation. Each structure has advantages and disadvantages, beyond its main characteristics, when compared to one another. Farmers and ranchers should determine their risk preferences, as well as long and short term goals before seeking professional legal counsel when establishing their businesses. A series of fact sheets describing the seven most common business structures and a 2-page chart highlighting the general, formation, operational, liability, tax, ownership, and dissolution characteristics of each of the structures are available at RightRisk.org/RiskConcepts.

Chiral Vacuum Alignment and Spontaneous CP Violation by Four-Fermi Operators

description: In models where there is a global chiral symmetry which spontaneously breaks to its vectorial subgroup, the introduction of an explicit symmetry breaking perturbation will define the true vacuum of the theory. This true vacuum is found via the minimization of the expectation value of the perturbing hamiltonian between different vacua as prescribed by Dashen. The procedure of finding the correct vacuum of the theory may result in the spontaneous breaking of CP symmetry even if one initially demands CP invariance on the perturbation. In this work we study in detail models where the perturbation is provided by four-Fermi operators. We present exact treatment for models with two fermion flavors and study the three flavor case in depth numerically. We show that after Dashen procedure is applied the solutions for the true vacuum fall in three classes with different CP breaking patterns. Critical transitions is possible between these classes as one varies the parameters of the perturbation. We rigorously show that at these transitions a pseudo-Goldstone boson mass vanishes. We also advocate, and substantiate with numerical statistical analysis for various types of models, that if one imposes CP invariance on the perturbation before solving the vacuum alignment, the resulting vacuum structure will have a sizable probability for a light pseudo-Goldstone boson mass. That is a statistical variant of Peccei-Quinn mechanism can be speculated to operate.

description: I took my first international trip 48 years ago as a young farmer in the year 1974. My experience as a farmer has been that international travel has not been an expense for me. International travel has been a valuable investment. International agricultural farm travel with farmers can significantly improve oneâ€™s inherent decision-making ability and thus actually be a profit enhancer to oneâ€™s business. This case study related to fixed vs variable interest rate is one example. One should strongly consider avoiding short term variable interest rates. Changes in interest rates can have a huge impact on oneâ€™s business profitability and survival.

We use the variational method to compute the ground state and the first two excitations. These can be used as an input to nonrelativistic models or to NRQCD calculations of properties of doubly heavy baryons. We compare our findings with a factorization model. We employ all-to-all propagator methods, improved by an additional hopping parameter expansion and Wuppertal smearing on QCDSF configurations with two sea quark flavors.

The effect of various levels of roughages and various grains on the growth patterns of growing and fattening steers

Year: 2011

description: In Study I alfalfa-bermuda grass hay or oat straw was fed with rolled barley, pelleted beet pulp, soybean oil meal and cracked wheat, in various proportions, in twenty protein-supplemented rations to immature Hereford steers. A control ration of 10% long straw, 78% rolled barley and 12% soybean oil meal was included. The best results were obtained with a roughage level of 10%. However, it was shown that it was feasible to feed roughage levels as high as 40% without detrimental effects to either average daily gain, feed efficiency, or carcass quality. In Study II various feed grains were fed in the ratio 90:10 (concentrate to roughage). The Canadian feed grains of barley and wheat were compared with corn. Various ratios of these feed grains were also compared. Excellent gains and feed efficiencies were obtained on all rations and it was shown that the cost of the grains available would be the largest factor in determining which to use.

description: The structure theory for the quadratic algebra generated by first and second order constants of the motion for 2D second order superintegrable systems with nondegenerate (3-parameter) and or 2-parameter potentials is well understood, but the results for the strictly 1-parameter case have been incomplete. Here we work out this structure theory and prove that the quadratic algebra generated by first and second order constants of the motion for systems with 4 second order constants of the motion must close at order three with the functional relationship between the 4 generators of order four. We also show that every 1-parameter superintegrable system is Stäckel equivalent to a system on a constant curvature space.

description: In Slovenia, on dairy farms still predominate tied-in housing system. Due to the need to improve animal welfare and animal health, especially young breeders - future farmers are considering changing the housing system for dairy cows and young stock. In the first place, they put the construction of a modern free barn with cubicles where the animals will have more space, more comfort, a better microclimate. Farmers are aware that better breeding conditions for their animals are an important investment in achieving greater milk production, better milk quality, improved animal health, reproduction and longevity. More and more breeders are also opting to set up a milking robot, which allows automatic milking and gives the breeder more time to control his herd. However, some farmers are opting to set up innovative systems for free-walk housing system without cubicles which looks like â€œCow Gardenâ€. One such farmer is Simon ÄŒretnik, who is the first in Slovenia to opt for the most modern free-walk housing system, where the lying surface is covered with permeable floor, which enables immediate urine removal. His innovative housing system is described in this paper.

description: The problem of possible astrophysical consequences of the existence of exotic differential structures on manifolds is discussed. It is argued that corrections to the curvature of the form of a source like terms should be expected in the Einstein equations if they are written in the "wrong" differential structure. Examples of topologically trivial spaces on which exotic differential structures act as a source of gravitational force even in the absence of matter are given. Propagation of light in the presence of such phenomena is also discussed. A brief review of exotic smoothness is added for completeness.

subject: leadership

description: From ag lending to livestock production to seed sales, women have vital roles in Iowaâ€™s agricultural economy. They are taking on leadership roles and contributing to family farm and agribusiness decisions that can keep Iowa agriculture vibrant and resilient. The purpose of the annual Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Women in Ag Leadership Conference is to support women with research-based information and women-centered educational programs. The overarching objectives for the conference are to connect women with other women who inspire their leadership journey, increase their belief in themselves and the power of life-long learning, give them practical leadership skills they can use, and expand their overall level of leadership capacity. The results of five years of conference surveys indicate the conferences were effective in strengthening womenâ€™s leadership capacity. When Iowa State Univeristy Extension and Outreach extends knowledge and empowers women in agriculture, they can become leaders in creating a more sustainable Iowa by expanding businesses, conserving natural resources, and supporting each other as a community of women in agriculture. Women leaders in the agricultural industry are key stakeholders in the production of safe food and agricultural sustainability.

description: Silvopastoral systems, also known in Brazil as Integrated Livestock-Forestry Systems (ILFS), are a promising alternative for marginal agricultural areas in Mato Grosso do Sul state. This paper analysed the economic viability of a representative ILFS in the state Central-East region and, using Ambitec-Agro model, assessed the associated socio-environmental impacts. We used panel data with experts to build an eight-year cash flow used in follow-up investment analysis and found ILFS was more economically attractive then extensive beef systems (BF), typical in poor soil regions. However, implementation costs and uneven distribution of income over the years can be detrimental to adoption by some farmer groups. Results showed an improvement of several socio-environmental indicators by replacing BF for ILFS. Policymakers should account for those economic barriers when developing supporting strategies for farmers and should also promote specific initiatives to stimulate the forestry sector, in general, and Silvopastoral systems specifically, in other marginal areas of Mato Grosso do Sul state.

description: This research delves into the potential existence of traversable wormholes (WHs) within the framework of modified, curvature based gravity. The modification includes linear perturbations of the matter Lagrangian and the trace of the energy-momentum tensor with specific coupling strengths $α$ and $β$ and can thus be viewed as a special case of linear $f(R,T)$-gravity with a variable matter coupling or as the simplest additively separable $f(R,\mathcal{L}_m,T)$-model. A thorough examination of static WH solutions is undertaken using a constant redshift function; therefore, our work can be regarded as the first-order approximation of WH theories in $f(R,\mathcal{L}_m,T)$ . The analysis involves deriving WH shape functions based on non-commutative geometry, with a particular focus on Gaussian and Lorentzian matter distributions $ρ$. Constraints on the coupling parameters are developed so that the shape function satisfies both the flaring-out and asymptotic flatness conditions. Moreover, for positive coupling parameters, violating the null energy condition (NEC) at the WH throat $r_0$ demands the presence of exotic matter. For negative couplings, however, we find that exotic matter can be avoided by establishing the upper bound $β+α/2<-\frac{1}{ρr_0^2}-8π$. Additionally, the effects of gravitational lensing are explored, revealing the repulsive force of our modified gravity for large negative couplings. Lastly, the stability of the derived WH solutions is verified using the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) formalism.

U.S. Tax Policy Proposals: Revenue Generation or Social Engineering Farm Sizes?

description: In 2021 President Biden proposed new spending on infrastructure in the United States. Two proposals were introduced to provide offsets for the new spending. The Sensible Taxation and Equity Promotion Act proposed to eliminate stepped-up basis upon death of the owner. The For the 99.5 Percent Act would decrease the estate tax exemption to $3.5 million ($7 million per couple). At the same time, there are many in Washington D.C. pointing to the fact that farms in the U.S. continue getting larger. While the tax proposals would generate a new revenue source, a related question is whether it would also slow the growth in farm size. This analysis examines the impact of the proposals on 94 representative farms and ranches located across the U.S. maintained by the Agricultural and Food Policy Center (AFPC) at Texas A&M University. Under current tax law, only 2 of the 94 farms would be impacted by an event triggering a generational transfer. Under the STEP Act, 92 of the 94 representative farms would be impacted. Under the 99.5% Act, 41 of the 92 representative farms would be impacted. The proposals could lead to a farms selling land to pay taxes.

description: We elucidate the role of time scales that determine heavy quark dynamics in the QGP. Quark-antiquark potentials extracted from the lattice are used to demonstrate the existence of open heavy flavor bound-state solutions in the vicinity of the critical temperature, and their light cone wavefunctions are obtained. We use these wavefunctions to calculate the in-medium modification of the heavy quark distribution and decay probabilities. For the case of high transverse momentum D or B mesons traversing the QGP, we combine the new meson formation and dissociation mechanism with the traditional parton-level charm and beauty quark quenching to obtain predictions for the heavy meson and non-photonic electron suppression in Cu+Cu and Pb+Pb collisions at RHIC and the LHC, respectively.

Membrane processing of cheese whey and preparation of ferric whey protein by heating
Creators: name: Amantea, Gerald F.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A concentrate containing up to 73% protein N was recovered from cheese whey by using cellulose acetate ultrafiltration membrances designed to reject solutes larger than 30,000 molecular weight by a continuous washing procedure. Conditions necessary for increasing the ultrafiltration process for cheese whey are reported. Variables include pressure, membrane porosity, feed rate, clarification, temperature and pH. The objective was to prepare whey products with a minimum concentration of monovalent salts and maximum concentration of protein while still maintaining a high flux rate. As expected pH adjustment to 7.0 and clarification at 2000 X g for 5 min were critical in increasing flux rate. However, membrane blockage occurred and gel electrophoresis indicated that (β-casein and αs-casein were the major components responsible yet salts and lactose may also be implicated to a lesser degree. Flux rate increased with temperature but was not affected by pressure. Results indicate that concentrating 3-4X would be practical but higher levels would be uneconomical due to the accumulation of viscous materials on the membrane. Gel filtration showed that whey proteins are retained almost quantitatively in the concentrate while low molecular weight nitrogen containing material pass the membrane into the permeate.

description: The issues within the ubiquitous topic of climate change have two competing and opposite viewpoints; there is no widespread general consensus at this time. Both the conservative and progressive approaches need greater understanding of each other. â€œKeep your friends close and you enemies closerâ€ and other concepts from The Art of War can be useful to reaching the best sustainable decisions and actions for addressing climate change.
