description: Research activities of academic agricultural economists in the Northeast Region are examined. Selected categories of research output are presented. Interregional comparisons in research productivity are made between: 1) faculty employed in the Northeast and those employed elsewhere and 2) faculty educated in the Northeast and those educated elsewhere. Intraregional comparisons of faculty employed in the Northeast by region of education are also presented. Regional differences in research resources and concentration are examined and offered as factors contributing to research productivity differences. Results indicate few significant long-run differences in research productivity and concentration in the Northeast relative to that in other regions.

description: There are several grassland products the economic values of those are unclear in several cases. Besides demonstrating the social benefits of grassland products, the objective of the present study is to present the value of their diverse forms of utilization and their definitions in practice. The study groups marketable and nonmarketable grass products and introduces a new category, the animal husbandry value of grasses. Besides several other factors, economists differ from researchers in other areas of science since they are basically motivated by three issues: the first question they always raise is: “What can it be used for?”, the second is: “What is it worth?” and the third is: “How can it (its value) be determined?” All the answers to any further questions are subordinated to these three ones.

description: Whenever one has witnessed some event and then sees it reported in the media, one's reaction is the same: "it was not quite like that". It is in this spirit of a frequent first-hand witness that I write this article. I discuss a few selected points which --to my judgement-- illustrate well the QCD evolution (in time) from the theoretical, phenomenological and experimental points of view.

description: Form factors are derived for a model describing the coherent Josephson tunneling between two coupled Bose-Einstein condensates. This is achieved by studying the exact solution of the model in the framework of the algebraic Bethe ansatz. In this approach the form factors are expressed through determinant representations which are functions of the roots of the Bethe ansatz equations.

description: Hungary is one of the ten countries that have joined the European Union (EU) in May 2004. Hungarian farmers are now entitled to receive direct payments per ha, in the frame of the Single Area Payment Scheme (SAPS). While these payments are still lower than the ones received by farmers in the EU-15, they are higher than what Hungarian farmers used to receive from national pre-accession budget. This raises the question of whether accession to the EU has had a positive impact on farmers’ performance. In order to contribute to this issue, the paper will investigate technical efficiency of Hungarian farmers between 2001 and 2005 using a panel dataset of farms. While some studies have investigated other aspects of farm performance in Hungary (Total Factor Productivity in 1997 by Hughes, 2000; profitability and Total Factor Productivity in 2000 by Davidova et al., 2002), there is a clear gap regarding technical efficiency of Hungary’s farming sector (the only post-reform paper is by Mathijs and Vranken, 2001). This paper will therefore contribute to this research, using data covering a crucial period for Hungary, the end of the transition and the first accession year. The paper is organised as follows: section 2 outlines the methodology. Data and results obtained with are reported and discussed in section 3, and finally, section 4 concludes.

description: We present cross-correlation studies of gamma-ray (0.1-300 GeV), X-ray (0.2-10 keV) and optical (R-band) variability of a sample of 26 blazars during 2008-2016. The light curves are from Fermi-LAT, Swift-XRT, and the Yale-SMARTS blazar monitoring program. We stack the discrete cross-correlation functions of the blazars such that the features that are consistently present in a large fraction of the sample become more prominent in the final result. We repeat the same analysis for two subgroups, namely, low synchrotron peaked (LSP) and high synchrotron peaked (HSP) blazars. We find that, on average, the variability at multiple bands is correlated, with a time lag consistent with zero in both subgroups. We describe this correlation with a leptonic model of non-thermal emission from blazar jets. By comparing the model results with those from the actual data we find that the inter-band cross-correlations are consistent with an emission region of size nearly 0.1 pc within the broad line region for LSP blazars. We rule out large changes of magnetic field (> 0.5 Gauss) across the emission region or small values of magnetic field (e.g. 0.2 Gauss) for this population. We also find that the observed variability of the HSP blazars can be explained if the emission region is much larger than the distance to the broad line region from the central black hole.

description: Recent progress has shown that a minor concentration of nanoparticles in liquid crystals can have an important effect on the electrical and optical properties of liquid crystals. In this study, the temperature-dependent dielectric and electro-optical properties of planar and homeotropic oriented 6CHBT nematic liquid crystals doped with MgO nanoparticles were investigated. MgO nanoparticles were dispersed in pure 6CHBT in various concentrations. It was established that the dielectric permittivity (ε|| and ε⊥) and the dielectric anisotropy (Δε) are decreased by adding nanoparticles up to a certain concentration, and then it increased. The effect of doping nanoparticles on the physical and optical parameters, namely, the ac electric conductivity, absorption, emission, threshold voltage, splay elastic constant, and anisotropic refractive index were investigated. In the frame of the new six-parameter dielectric permittivity model, the temperature-dependent dielectric properties were improved.

description: This study focuses on profitability migration of farm businesses in Kentucky. Migration probabilities across business cycles are tested to see if they differ between expansion and recession years. Based on year-to-year transitions probabilities the results show that the highest return on equity (ROE) class is less likely to retain its performance in a recession, while the lowest ROE is less likely to retain its performance in an expansion. Migration trends for year-to-year are tested to see if there is a drift or persistence in ROE performance based on previous year performance. Results indicate that the Markov independence property is violated when examining return on equity by resulting in trend-reversal of ROE performance. These results will be useful in making policies directed at helping farmers to be more profitable in different economic environments and also for benchmarking analysis.

description: Monthly national and state-level U.S. data for the period 1997-2012 associated with macroeconomic shocks and participation in food assistance programs were used to model dynamics using polynomial distributed lags and vector autoregression approaches. Contemporaneous causal flows of macroeconomic shocks and participation in food assistance programs were modeled using directed acyclic graphs. With a more accurate set of predictions associated with participation rates in food assistance programs based on macroeconomic drivers or shocks, policy makers will be in better position to assess program costs and to minimize errors in the budgetary process.

description: With the advent of ICD-10-CM codes for PMBCL on 10/01/2015, assessment of treatment patterns and healthcare burden among US patients is possible. This study sought to describe the real-world treatment patterns and economic outcomes of patients with PMBCL. Data from the Optum Clinformatics DataMart database was used (January 2013–March 2018). Patients with a first PMBCL ICD-10-CM diagnosis (with or without an antecedent ICD-10-CM diagnosis of DLBCL/other lymphoma, which may have been assigned before PMBCL confirmation) after 10/01/2015 (index date) and no ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for unspecified PMBCL/DLBCL were identified as incident patients. Those with PMBCL ICD-10-CM and unspecified ICD-9-CM diagnosis for PMBCL/DLBCL before 10/01/2015 (index date) were identified as prevalent patients. Patients were observed from the index date up to the earliest among death, end of data availability, or end of continuous health plan enrollment. An adapted algorithm was used to identify lines of therapy (LOT). Among 118 incident and 30 prevalent PMBCL patients, 14% and 20% of patients received ≥2 LOTs, respectively. In incident patients, 48% received ≥1 LOT, 14% ≥2, and 4% ≥3 LOTs. Among prevalent patients, 63% received ≥1 LOT and 20% ≥2 LOTs. The most frequently recorded 1 L therapy was R-CHOP both among incident and prevalent patients. Mean total healthcare costs for incident and prevalent patients were $149,340 and $92,799 per patient per year, respectively, with higher costs ≤12 months ($187,241 and $167,553). Outpatient costs were the main driver (accounting for 60.5% and 64.6% for incident and prevalent patients, respectively). Potential underuse of ICD-10-CM codes shortly after discontinuation of ICD-9-CM codes in 01/2015; regimens identified for each LOT using the claims-based algorithm may not reflect the regimen administered. The multiple LOTs necessary for a sizeable minority of patients and the high costs of care highlight the significant unmet needs of PMBCL patients.

description: Recent observations of protoplanetary discs reveal disc substructures potentially caused by embedded planets. We investigate how the gas surface density in discs changes the observed morphology in scattered light and dust continuum emission. Assuming that disc substructures are due to embedded protoplanets, we combine hydrodynamical modelling with radiative transfer simulations of dusty protoplanetary discs hosting planets. The response of different dust species to the gravitational perturbation induced by a planet depends on the drag stopping time - a function of the generally unknown local gas density. Small dust grains, being stuck to the gas, show spirals. Larger grains decouple, showing progressively more axisymmetric (ring-like) substructure as decoupling increases with grain size or with the inverse of the gas disc mass. We show that simultaneous modelling of scattered light and dust continuum emission is able to constrain the Stokes number, ${\rm St}$. Hence, if the dust properties are known, this constrains the local gas surface density, $Σ_{\rm gas}$, at the location of the structure, and hence the total gas mass. In particular, we found that observing ring-like structures in mm-emitting grains requires ${\rm St} \gtrsim 0.4$ and therefore $Σ_{\rm gas} \lesssim 0.4\,\textrm{g/cm}^{2}$. We apply this idea to observed protoplanetary discs showing substructures both in scattered light and in the dust continuum.

description: The external influence of scholarly activity has to date been measured primarily in terms of publications and citations, metrics that also dominate the promotion and grant processes. Yet the array of scholarly activities visible to the outside world are far more extensive and recently developed technologies allow broader and more accurate measurement of their influence on the wider societal discourse. Accordingly we analyze the relation between the internal and external influences of 723 top economics scholars using the number of pages indexed by Google and Bing as a measure of their external influence. Although the correlation between internal and external influence is low overall, it is highest among recipients of major key awards such as the Nobel Prize or John Bates Clark medal, and particularly strong for those ranked among the top 100 researchers.

description: Innovation is a key element behind the achievement of desired environmental and economic performances. Regarding CO2, mitigation strategies would require cuts in emissions of around 80-90% with respect to 1990. We investigate whether complementarity, namely integration, between the adoption of environmental innovation measures and other technological and organizational innovations is a factor that has supported reduction in CO2 emissions per value added, that is environmental productivity. We merge new EU CIS and WIOD meso level data to assess the innovation effects on sector CO2 performances at a wide EU level. We find that jointly adopting different innovations is not a significant factor to increase environmental productivity, neither for the entire economy nor for manufacturing or narrower ETS sectors. The only case where a complementarity arises is for Northern EU manufacturing sectors that integrate eco innovations with product and process innovations to support environmental productivity. We believe that the lack of integrated innovation adoption behind environmental productivity performance is a signal of the current weaknesses economies face in tackling climate change and green economy challenges. Incremental rather than more radical strategies have predominated so far; this is probably insufficient when we look at long-term economic and environmental goals.

description: Food security remains a major challenge for most rural households in Kenya especially those in arid and semi arid areas. Women play a crucial role as primary food producers and custodians of household food security. They however face many constraints in their endeavor to secure food for their households. Women, lack access to extension education, land and credit and these challenges are exacerbated by effects of climatic variability, especially drought. In response to the difficulties facing them, women in Mwala have formed organizations (women groups) as safety-nets to help them face these challenges collectively rather than as individuals. This study research was designed to investigate how women’s participation in the groups influences them to overcome constraints related to their household food security. The study used a cross sectional survey design. A sample of 156 respondents was selected through simple random sampling, with 94 women farmers being group members and 62 non group members. Ten key informants were purposively sampled from group leaders of the most active women groups influenced in agricultural activities to participate in a focus group discussion. The data was analysed using SPSS package version 17 and presented using frequencies, percentages, multiple regression, and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. The study revealed that household food security is significantly and positively influenced by participation of women farmers in women groups (F = 9.980, p < 0.001), that the level of intensity of participation in group activities did not significantly influence household food security (x2 =.112) and that linking with outside agencies was positively and significantly correlated to group performance measured in terms of benefits availed to the members through their groups.

description: The article presents the research and comparative analysis of the bandwidth of low-power wireless IoT devices as wireless switches. The following IoT devices were investigated: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Raspberry Pi Zero W. The DS18B20 and INA219 sensors investigated and analyzed the dependence of FTP multimedia data transmission speed on wireless Wi-Fi network on the temperature of the switch processor, temperature. The environment and the current and voltage consumed by the switch. Advantages of sensors with GPIO interface over analog meters for this experiment are revealed. Much of the work is devoted to the development of automation of results from GPIO interfaces, which helped eliminate human error and get more accurate metrics. Measurement automation was developed using Python 3.7 programming language. Using the INA219 library we were able to obtain current and voltage indicators from the ina219 board. To get temperature indicators sufficiently built into Python libraries to read temperature files in Raspbian. The article focuses on the synchronicity of measurement results records for more accurate analysis. Therefore, an FTP client was developed that measures the download speed of the file from the FTP server and records the results simultaneously with temperature, current and voltage measurements. To this end, attention is drawn to the multithreading in Python programming language and the transmission of commands using TCP sockets in that language. As a result, the dependence of the measured factors was calculated using the Pearson correlation formula. These measurement factors affect the autonomy and energy consumption, which is very important for IoT devices, and therefore, among the devices tested, recommendations were made regarding their choice when used depending on the conditions.

description: Human-robot collision avoidance is a key in collaborative robotics and in the framework of Industry 4.0. It plays an important role for achieving safety criteria while having humans and machines working side-by-side in unstructured and time-varying environment. This study introduces the subject of manipulator's on-line collision avoidance into a real industrial application implementing typical sensors and a commonly used collaborative industrial manipulator, KUKA iiwa. In the proposed methodology, the human co-worker and the robot are represented by geometric primitives (capsules). The minimum distance and relative velocity between them is calculated, when human/obstacles are nearby the concept of hypothetical repulsion and attraction vectors is used. By coupling this concept with a mathematical representation of robot's kinematics, a task level control with collision avoidance capability is achieved. Consequently, the off-line generated nominal path of the industrial task is modified on-the-fly so the robot is able to avoid collision with the co-worker safely while being able to fulfill the industrial operation. To guarantee motion continuity when switching between different tasks, the notion of repulsion-vector-reshaping is introduced. Tests on an assembly robotic cell in automotive industry show that the robot moves smoothly and avoids collisions successfully by adjusting the off-line generated nominal paths.

description: This paper examines the economic effects of investment in developing and introducing Almond Late Flowering Cultivars (ALFC) in a period of 52 years from 1968 to 2020, developed in Sahand Horticultural Research Station (SHRS), using the economic surplus model and field survey data. ALFC make almond supply curve move less to the left when there is a chilling case, thus affect the economic surplus of producers and consumers. Results showed that because of ALFC, economic surplus of producers and consumers had been increased about 0.4 and 0.6 million US Dollars, respectively that the share of consumers from benefits was 58 percent. The social net present value of ALFC regarding to the cost of research and extension was about 0.1 million US Dollars. It was identified that the internal rate of return in developing and introducing of ALFC had been about 11%. The findings expressed that if the research investment in ALFC could keep the position of almond supply curve unchanged unless the weather conditions, then the economic surplus of producers and consumers would decreased 3 and 4.2 million US Dollars less annually, respectively and internal rate of return in almond research would be 33 %. Comparing the results showed that the introduction of late flowering cultivars could reduce the loss only 4 % per hectare. The results illustrated that investment in R&E of almond could make supply curve shift less in chilling situation because of decrease in cultivation cost, but it is necessary to enhance almond yield too. The findings identify that the efficiency of current system of R&E for almond is low. So it is a necessity to find ways for make better the R&E performance in Iran.

description: We study in detail the nuclear aspects of a neutron-star merger in which deconfinement to quark matter takes place. For this purpose, we make use of the Chiral Mean Field (CMF) model, an effective relativistic model that includes self-consistent chiral symmetry restoration and deconfinement to quark matter and, for this reason, predicts the existence of different degrees of freedom depending on the local density/chemical potential and temperature. We then use the out-of-chemical-equilibrium finite-temperature CMF equation of state in full general-relativistic simulations to analyze which regions of different QCD phase diagrams are probed and which conditions, such as strangeness and entropy, are generated when a strong first-order phase transition appears. We also investigate the amount of electrons present in different stages of the merger and discuss how far from chemical equilibrium they can be and, finally, draw some comparisons with matter created in supernova explosions and heavy-ion collisions.

description: This study aimed to identify the factors influencing adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technologies by paddy farmers in Sari County of Iran. A sample of 260 farmers who selected randomly, participated in this study through a survey questionnaire. Findings of the study revealed a statistically significant positive correlation between adoption of IPM technologies and farmers’ participation in extension activities, Farmers’ Field School, local associations, and influence of opinion leaders. Regression analysis indicated that nearly 43 % of variation in the IPM technologies adoption could be explained by participation in extension activities, local associations, and influence of opinion leaders. Findings have implications for designing extension programs that can encourage adoption of IPM technologies by farmers.

description: This study was an attempt to devise productive orientations of cattle herds in eastern high plains of Algeria. In this regard, 165 farms randomly identified were investigated. The selection of breeders was based to existence of cattle on the farm, and the farmer proposed to investigation must have at least two cows. The approach taken was to identify all systems adopted by farmers in a region through the analysis of the relationship between the maintenance of different types of cattle and preferred marketing policies. The model has been emerged as a result of functional typology established using the procedure categorical principal components analysis (CATPCA) of optimal coding in SPSS [19. 2010]. Following this approach, five types of cattle productive orientation have been identified, the balanced mixed system (dairy-beef), beef mixed system, dairy mixed system, dairy system and beef system. These results showed that the breeders were oriented towards specialization (dairy or beef) in less than 20% of situations. Farmers in our context prefer mixed systems when beef mixed system was the model type frequently encountered in the region (over than 50% of farms).

description: The study was designed to analyze credit receipt and enterprise performance by small scale agro based enterprises in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was adopted in selecting 264 agro based enterprises and 96 agro based enterprises that accessed informal and formal credit respectively. The Heckman model was used to examine the factors affecting amount of informal and formal credit received by the enterprises. Financial ratios such as the current ratio and return on capital employed ratio were used in addition to the t-test to examine the performance of enterprises that borrowed from informal and formal credit markets in the area. Analyses of informal credit amount received reveal that gender, age and social capital are significant for the first hurdle, whereas gender, size, income, guarantor and social capital are significant for the second hurdle. Similarly, gender, education, age, size, and collateral are significant for the first hurdle for formal credit, while the second hurdle reported significant results with age, size, income, collateral and social capital. Formal credit was less accessible than informal credit but enhanced greater performance. Formal credit should be made to be easily accessible and efficiently utilized. This will go a long way in complementing the amnesty programme of the federal government of Nigeria in the region.

description: The small-world phenomenon in complex networks has been identified as being due to the presence of long-range links, i.e., links connecting nodes that would otherwise be separated by a long node-to-node distance. We find, surprisingly, that many scale-free networks are more sensitive to attacks on short-range than on long-range links. This result, besides its importance concerning network efficiency and/or security, has the striking implication that the small-world property of scale-free networks is mainly due to short-range links.
