description: This study presents an investigation into the utilization of a Multi-Input architecture for the classification of fruits (apples and mangoes) into healthy and defective states, employing both RGB and silhouette images. The primary aim is to enhance the accuracy of CNN models. The methodology encompasses image acquisition, preprocessing of datasets, training, and evaluation of two CNN models: MobileNetV2 and VGG16. Results reveal that the inclusion of silhouette images alongside the Multi-Input architecture yields models with superior performance compared to using only RGB images for fruit classification, whether healthy or defective. Specifically, optimal results were achieved using the MobileNetV2 model, achieving 100\% accuracy. This finding suggests the efficacy of this combined methodology in improving the precise classification of healthy or defective fruits, which could have significant implications for applications related to external quality inspection of fruits.

description: This study investigated the factors that influence the intention of citizens to use their mobile phones to increase their participation in local government. It examined whether gender and age can be used to moderate the effect of these factors. The research was conducted in Buffalo City, a municipality in South Africa. The research used a questionnaire survey to collect quantitative data and semi-structured interviews to collect qualitative data. Data was collected from people aged between 18 and 55 who have no access to fixed-line Internet at home but are instead primarily accessing the Internet via their mobile phones. The study found that the acceptance of mobile phones as a means for public participation is largely a matter of designing mobile participation solutions that support and enhance the performance of citizens. Citizens are fairly accustomed to mobile technology, and this increases the likelihood that they would willingly adopt mobile participation solutions if they offer tangible gains when compared to current methods. Older citizens would require support in familiarizing with the new technology, while all citizens place the availability of reliable organizational and technical infrastructure as an important predictor of their intention to use. The influence of friends and family members was an important factor in citizens’ intention to use. Gender did not have any significant effects on the factors that affect intention to use. Age was a significant moderator with younger citizens requiring quick and convenient ways to interact with government while older people looked for more efficient ways of reaching government which should in turn lead to improved quality in services delivered.

description: Substructures in PPDs, whose ubiquity was unveiled by recent ALMA observations, are widely discussed regarding their possible origins. We carry out global full magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations in axisymmetry, coupled with self-consistent ray-tracing radiative transfer, thermochemistry, and non-ideal MHD diffusivities. The abundance profiles of grains are also calculated based on the global dust evolution calculation, including sintering effects. We found that dust size plays a crucial role in the ring formation around the snow lines of protoplanetary disks (PPDs) through the accretion process. Disk ionization structures and thus tensorial conductivities depend on the size of grains.When grains are significantly larger than PAHs, the non-ideal MHD conductivities change dramatically across each snow line of major volatiles, leading to a sudden change of the accretion process across the snow lines and the subsequent formation of gaseous rings/gaps there. On the other hand,the variations of conductivities are a lot less with only PAH sized grains in disks and then these disks retain smoother radial density profiles across snow lines.

Pulsed electromagnetic processing of metals

Subjects: subject: 91399 Mechanical Engineering not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: This Thesis is based on the concept of using an electromagnetic accelerator for metal forming, including cylindrical implosions and ‘flyer’ plate configurations. Although the present research is purely academic, a contact and a collaboration has been initially initiated with the well-known commercial company B-max (France), arguably the top manufacturer worldwide in the domain of magneto-forming. Unfortunately, when their CEO changed, they did not want any more to continue the collaboration. The below described research, which relates to my PhD, was mostly devoted to the technique of imploding metallic cylinders at high speeds with a high level of cylindrical homogeneity. This technique, that relates to the more general domain of magneto-forming of metals, has already been applied in various industrial applications, such as high-tech car manufacturing, fuel pin end closures for nuclear breeder reactors, avionics, outer space technology and others. The technique is very straightforward in concept and involves the supply of a strong pulsed current for driving a coil surrounding a metallic cylinder to be imploded. A current is induced by induction in the cylinder and the interaction between the two opposed currents produces a very strong radial force that is responsible for the implosion. Unique support for this experimental work was provided by a detailed 2-dimensional numerical code. The developed software reported here is capable of predicting the current and temperature distributions in the imploding cylinder and, very importantly, the imploding dynamics enabling the electromagnetic implosion system to be both accurately designed and controlled.

Deep Geothermal Energy for Lower Saxony (North Germany) – Combined Investigations of Geothermal Reservoir Characteristics
Creators: name: Hahne, Barbara

Publisher: name: FID GEO
Year: 2014

description: For the economic success of a geothermal project the hydraulic properties and temperature of the geothermal reservoir are crucial. New methodologies in seismics, geoelectrics and reservoir geology are tested within the frame of the collaborative research programme “Geothermal Energy and High-Performance Drilling” (gebo). Within nine geoscientific projects, tools were developed that help in the evaluation and interpretation of acquired data. Special emphasis is placed on the investigation of rock properties, on the development of early reservoir assessment even during drilling, and on the interaction between the drilling devices and the reservoir formation. The propagation of fractures and the transport of fluid and heat within the regional stress field are investigated using different approaches (field studies, seismic monitoring, multi-parameter modelling). Geologic structural models have been created for simulation of the local stress field and hydromechanical processes. Furthermore, a comprehensive dataset of hydrogeochemical environments was collected allowing characterisation and hydrogeochemical modelling of the reservoir.

description: User-Technological Index of Precision Agriculture (UTIPA) is a comprehensive system based on mutual sharing of opinions and experience within community of people related to precision agriculture - farmers, technology suppliers and researchers. The main benefit of UTIPA is the possibility to use the calculated index level for particular technology (method) for precision agriculture and compare it to other technology with regards to different users, crops, regions etc. It evaluates the principle of a technology but does not take into account concrete products, brands or manufacturers. The index has significance for the presentation of the potential of precision agriculture, development planning and especially for the connection between technological innovativeness and usefulness for practice. The entire solution includes the methodology for the collection, processing and presentation of data and software and is available via a Web interface for all common device platforms. Anyone who has interest in precision agriculture and contributes their knowledge can use the collected data.

description: In the area of time series analysis and prediction there are comparatively many methods available, out of which the extrapolation method has been practically applied most often. Currently, combined models have been serving more and more in experimentation. This study is aimed at construction of adequate models of the indicators observed development tendencies, assessment of selected individual models and subsequent aggregation of these into combined models, including a comparative analysis of both types of models. To find suitable candidates for predicting within the time series analysed, SAS system has been used. Outcomes of the empirical study have shown promising results in the use of combined models for time series processing. The techniques presented in the paper are illustrated with examples of short-term time series on monthly and quarterly basis, in the field of mobile telecommunication services, their consumption and use in various regions of the Czech Republic. A description of the current state of use of selected services in separate CR regions, including urban and rural areas, is a natural part of the paper. ICT including mobile phones and use of mobile services, especially in rural areas, is still widely discussed topic. The research was prepared with the support of the Internal Grant Agency of the Faculty of Economics and Management of the Czech University of Life Sciences, within the project „Methodological Approaches to Identify Economically Weak Regions in the Border Areas of the Czech Republic“(No. 20151035).

description: We study reduction of generalized complex structures. More precisely, we investigate the following question. Let $J$ be a generalized complex structure on a manifold $M$, which admits an action of a Lie group $G$ preserving $J$. Assume that $M_0$ is a $G$-invariant smooth submanifold and the $G$-action on $M_0$ is proper and free so that $M_G:=M_0/G$ is a smooth manifold. Under what condition does $J$ descend to a generalized complex structure on $M_G$? We describe a sufficient condition for the reduction to hold, which includes the Marsden-Weinstein reduction of symplectic manifolds and the reduction of the complex structures in Kähler manifolds as special cases. As an application, we study reduction of generalized Kähler manifolds.

description: Bounded rationality influences the individuals making decisions. Rationality of decisions is limited by the complexity of the decision problem, the cognitive limitations of decision makers, and the time available to make the decision. One specific case of this situation is decision on the agricultural insurance. The success of agricultural activity is highly dependent on environmental influences in the region. These risks can destroy entire harvest or exterminate a whole herd of livestock. The Czech Republic, through the Support and Guarantee Fund for Farmers and Forestry, provides farmers and forest managers with a contribution to cover the costs of the payment of insurance against unforeseen damage for already several years by which it affects decision-making about insurance. The article discusses the rationality of decision on the agricultural insurance using decision model under risk.

description: Designed paper is focused on the analysis of public goods in the form of greenhouse gas emissions in livestock production in Czechia. The main aim of the paper is to quantify the amount and valuation of greenhouse gas emissions produced in beef cattle breed (dairy and meat), pig breed, and poultry breed (meat and eggs). The partial aim of this paper is to compare greenhouse gas emissions production across sectors of livestock production and to evaluate a development of volume, value and share of emissions as a form of public goods. The methodology is based on the conceptual model MITERRA-Europe (The model was developed to assess the effects and interactions of policies and measures in agriculture on N losses and P balances at a regional level in EU-27), which is partly based on the CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regionalised Impact) and the GAINS (Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollution Interactions and Synergies) models using the tools for quantification of the emission factors indicators defined by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change) organizations. Part of the solution is to determine the value of public goods quantified through a European platform for carbon emissions trading with its futures contract based on the EU Allowances. The result of this paper is quantified emission value of public goods in livestock production in Czechia and their appreciation in the period 2000-2014. In the final consequence is quantified the proportion of the value of public goods in the total production of the analyzed livestock sector.

description: We discuss the system requirements for obtaining millimagnitude photometric precision over a wide field using small aperture short focal length telescope systems, such as are being developed by a number of research groups to search for transiting extra-solar planets. We describe the Hungarian-made Automated Telescope (HAT) system which attempts to meet these requirements. The attainable precision of HAT has been significantly improved by a technique in which the telescope is made to execute small pointing steps during each exposure so as to broaden the effective point spread function of the system to a value more compatible with the pixel size of our CCD detector. Experiments during a preliminary survey (Spring 2003) of two star fields with the HAT-5 instrument allowed us to optimize the HAT photometric precision using this method of PSF broadening; in this way have been able to achieve a precision as good as 2 millimagnitudes on brighter stars. We briefly describe development of a network of HAT telescopes (HATnet) spaced in longitude.

description: Crop insurance is an important tool that allows farmers to manage risks in agricultural production. This report is a summary of a survey of farmers’ crop insurance choices in Iowa, a state typical of the central US Corn Belt, and Michigan, a state with a more diversified crop portfolio. Survey data indicate that Michigan farmers were less likely to purchase insurance than Iowa farmers. A smaller share of Michigan farmers received an indemnity payment from 2011 to 2015 than those in Iowa. Michigan farmers were more likely to report that they felt they have paid more for crop insurance policies than they have received in indemnity payments. For farmers in Iowa, downside yield and price risk was rated most important by the largest number of respondents, followed closely by out-of-pocket premium price. The ranking of these two factors was reversed for farmers in Michigan. The cross-state differences reported by the survey respondents imply that the federal crop insurance program has different regional impacts. In order to assist in informed policy debate, it would be useful to understand how different regions can achieve all the potential benefits afforded by the program. Specifically, it will be useful to know whether Michigan farmers are not taking best advantage of existing crop insurance opportunities or whether simple adjustments could result in program uptake as high as in some other states.
The Effect of Ram-Pressure Stripping on Dwarf Galaxies

description: Ram-pressure stripping (RPS) is a well observed phenomenon of massive spiral galaxies passing through the hot intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters. For dwarf galaxies (DGs) within a cluster, the transformation from gaseous to gas-poor systems by RPS is not easily observed and must happen in the outskirts of clusters. In a few objects in close by galaxy clusters and the field, RPS has been observed. Since cluster early-type DGs also show a large variety of internal structures (unexpected central gas reservoirs, blue stellar cores, composite radial stellar profiles), we aim in this study to investigate how ram pressure (RP) affects the interstellar gas content and therefore the star-formation (SF) activity. Using a series of numerical simulations, we quantify the dependence of the stripped-off gas on the velocity of the infalling DGs and on the ambient ICM density. We demonstrated that SF can be either suppressed or triggered by RP depending on the ICM density and the DGs mass. Under some conditions, RP can compress the gas, so that it is unexpectedly retained in the central DG region and forms stars. When gas clouds are still bound against stripping but lifted from a thin disk and fall back, their new stars form an ellipsoidal (young) stellar population already with a larger velocity dispersion without the necessity of harassment. Most spectacularly, star clusters can form downstream in stripped-off massive gas clouds in the case of strong RP. We compare our results to observations.

description: We investigate braneworld cosmology based on the D-brane initiated in our previous paper. The brane is described by a Born-Infeld action and the gauge field is contained. The higher order corrections of an inverse string tension will be addressed. The results obtained by the truncated argument are altered by the higher order corrections. The equation of state of the gauge field on the brane is radiation-like in low energy scales and almost dust-like fluid in high energy scales. Our model is, however, limited below a critical finite value of the energy density. For the description of full history of our universe the presence of a S-brane might be essential.

Legendre's necessary condition for fractional Bolza functionals with mixed initial/final constraints
Creators: name: Bourdin, Loïc
name: Ferreira, Rui A. C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: The present work was primarily motivated by our findings in the literature of some flaws within the proof of the second-order Legendre necessary optimality condition for fractional calculus of variations problems. Therefore we were eager to elaborate a correct proof and it turns out that this goal is highly nontrivial, especially when considering final constraints. This paper is the result of our reflections on this subject. Precisely we consider here a constrained minimization problem of a general Bolza functional that depends on a Caputo fractional derivative of order 0 < $α$ $\le$ 1 and on a Riemann-Liouville fractional integral of order $β$ > 0, the constraint set describing general mixed initial/final constraints. The main contribution of our work is to derive corresponding first-and second-order necessary optimality conditions, namely the Euler-Lagrange equation, the transversality conditions and, of course, the Legendre condition. A detailed discussion is provided on the obstructions encountered with the classical strategy, while the new proof that we propose here is based on the Ekeland variational principle. Furthermore we underline that some subsidiary contributions are provided all along the paper. In particular we prove an independent and intrinsic result of fractional calculus stating that it does not exist a nontrivial function which is, together with its Caputo fractional derivative of order 0 < $α$ < 1, compactly supported. Moreover we also discuss some evidences claiming that Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals should be considered in the formulation of fractional calculus of variations problems in order to preserve the existence of solutions.
title: The role of population pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modelling in antimalarial chemotherapy
Creators: name: Simpson, Julie Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2001

description: Despite the high rates of mortality and morbidity associated with malaria very few new antimalarial drugs are being developed. Hence there is much to be gained by optimising currently available antimalarials. Using pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from field trials where mefloquine was administered either alone or in combination with artesunate important information regarding optimal dosing for the clinician has been obtained. The pharmacokinetics of mefloquine were influenced relatively little, or not at all, by factors such as age, sex, or measures of acute malaria severity. Splitting the 25 mglkg dose of mefloquine monotherapy was associated with a 50% increase in oral bioavailability, and bioavailability increased by 20% for the split dose on the combination treatment. Oral bioavailability was also observed to be associated with more rapid parasite clearance, a surrogate outcome measure for cure. A mechanistic mathematical model was developed that describes the change in total parasite burden with time in vivo, in the presence of mefloquine. Estimates for the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters were obtained from population modelling of pharmacokinetic and in vitro pharmacodynamic data, both derived from the same region. Model simulations confirmed that, early in the evolution of resistance, conventional assessments of the therapeutic response 28 days after treatment underestimate considerably the level of resistance. Longer follow-up is required. The model also indicates that initial deployment of a lower (l5-mglkg) dose of mefloquine provides a greater opportunity for the selection of resistant mutants and would be expected to lead more rapidly to resistance than de novo use of the higher (25-mglkg) dose. From the modelling of malaria therapy data it was observed that even in the absence of drugs the patient parasitaemia versus time profiles varied greatly between both patients and parasites. Parasite multiplication rate every 48 hours was estimated to be approximately 8 fold.

description: We describe the statistics of chaotic wavefunctions near periodic orbits using a basis of states which optimise the effect of scarring. These states reflect the underlying structure of stable and unstable manifolds in phase space and provide a natural means of characterising scarring effects in individual wavefunctions as well as their collective statistical properties. In particular, these states may be used to find scarring in regions of the spectrum normally associated with antiscarring and suggest a characterisation of templates for scarred wavefunctions which vary over the spectrum. The results are applied to quantum maps and billiard systems.

Hydrated sub-arc mantle: a source for the Kluchevskoy volcano, Kamchatka/Russia

description: Oxygen isotope ratios of olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts from the Kluchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka have been studied by CO2 and ArF laser techniques. Measured δ18O values of 5.8–7.1‰ for olivine and 6.2–7.5‰ for clinopyroxene are significantly heavier than typical mantle values and cannot be explained by crustal assimilation or a contribution of oceanic sediments. Positive correlations between δ18O and fluid-mobile elements (Cs, Li, Sr, Rb, Ba, Th, U, LREE, K) and a lack of correlation with fluid-immobile elements (HFSE, HREE) suggest that 18O was introduced into the mantle source by a fluid from subducted altered oceanic basalt. This conclusion is supported by radiogenic isotopes (Sr, Nd, Pb). Mass balance excludes simple fluid-induced mantle melting. Instead, our observations are consistent with melting a mantle wedge which has been hydrated by 18O-rich fluids percolating through the mantle wedge. 18O-enriched fluids are derived from the subducted oceanic crust and the Emperor seamount chain, which is responsible for a particularly high fluid flux. This hydrated mantle wedge was subsequently involved in arc magmatism beneath Kluchevskoy by active intra-arc rifting.

A Cognitive Model of an Epistemic Community: Mapping the Dynamics of Shallow Lake Ecosystems

description: We used fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) to develop a generic shallow lake ecosystem model by augmenting the individual cognitive maps drawn by 8 scientists working in the area of shallow lake ecology. We calculated graph theoretical indices of the individual cognitive maps and the collective cognitive map produced by augmentation. The graph theoretical indices revealed internal cycles showing non-linear dynamics in the shallow lake ecosystem. The ecological processes were organized democratically without a top-down hierarchical structure. The steady state condition of the generic model was a characteristic turbid shallow lake ecosystem since there were no dynamic environmental changes that could cause shifts between a turbid and a clearwater state, and the generic model indicated that only a dynamic disturbance regime could maintain the clearwater state. The model developed herein captured the empirical behavior of shallow lakes, and contained the basic model of the Alternative Stable States Theory. In addition, our model expanded the basic model by quantifying the relative effects of connections and by extending it. In our expanded model we ran 4 simulations: harvesting submerged plants, nutrient reduction, fish removal without nutrient reduction, and biomanipulation. Only biomanipulation, which included fish removal and nutrient reduction, had the potential to shift the turbid state into clearwater state. The structure and relationships in the generic model as well as the outcomes of the management simulations were supported by actual field studies in shallow lake ecosystems. Thus, fuzzy cognitive mapping methodology enabled us to understand the complex structure of shallow lake ecosystems as a whole and obtain a valid generic model based on tacit knowledge of experts in the field.

Analogue experiments of salt flow and pillow growth due to basement faulting and differential loading

description: Salt flow in sedimentary basins is mainly driven by differential loading and can be described by the concept of hydraulic head. A hydraulic head in the salt layer can be imposed by vertically displacing the salt layer (elevation head) or the weight of overburden sediments (pressure head). Basement faulting in salt-bearing extensional basins is widely acknowledged as a potential trigger for hydraulic heads and the growth of salt structures. In this study, scaled analogue experiments were designed to examine the kinematics of salt flow during the early evolution of a salt structure triggered by basement extension. In order to distinguish flow patterns driven by elevation head or by pressure head, we applied a short pulse of basement extension, which was followed by a long-lasting phase of sedimentation. During the experiments viscous silicone putty simulated ductile rock salt, and a PVC-beads/quartz-sand mixture was used to simulate a brittle supra-salt layer. In order to derive 2-D incremental displacement and strain patterns, the analogue experiments were monitored using an optical image correlation system (particle imaging velocimetry). By varying layer thicknesses and extension rates, the influence of these parameters on the kinematics of salt flow were tested. Model results reveal that significant flow can be triggered in the viscous layer by small-offset basement faulting. During basement extension downward flow occurs in the viscous layer above the basement fault tip. In contrast, upward flow takes place during post-extensional sediment accumulation. Flow patterns in the viscous material are characterized by channelized Poiseuille-type flow, which is associated with subsidence in regions of "salt" expulsion and surface uplift in regions of inflation of the viscous material. Inflation of the viscous material eventually leads to the formation of pillow structures adjacent to the basement faults (primary pillows). The subsidence of peripheral sinks adjacent to the primary pillow causes the formation of additional pillow structures at large distance from the basement fault (secondary pillows). The experimentally obtained structures resemble those of some natural extensional basins, e.g. the North German Basin or the Mid-Polish Trough, and can aid understanding of the kinematics and structural evolution of sedimentary basins characterized by the presence of salt structures.

description: Bestimmte Faktoren können in den letzten drei Jahren der obligatorischen Schulzeit alle Jugendlichen und besonders auch diejenigen mit einem Förderbedarf darin unterstützen, den Übergang von der Schule in den Beruf erfolgreich zu meistern. Mit dieser Arbeit wird untersucht, inwiefern an der Gemeindeschule St. Moritz bereits solche förderlichen Elemente vorhanden sind und welche Elemente noch zusätzlich in ein Konzept eingebaut werden könnten. Dies geschieht nach einer intensiven Auseinandersetzung mit den theoretischen Grundlagen und dem aktuellen Forschungsstand mit Hilfe eines Leitfadeninterviews von 7 Lehrpersonen und eines Survey-Fragebogens für 73 Jugendliche und Lehrlinge. Die Evaluation der Ergebnisse zeigt, dass in St. Moritz bereits gute Elemente vorhanden sind, wobei jedoch besonders in der Verwendung der Stellwerk-Resultate in Zusammenhang mit einer individuellen Förderung und Projektarbeit im 9. Schuljahr noch Optimierungsmöglichkeiten bestehen.

description: PalaeobiologicaJ models of four selecled species of sphinctozoan coraIIine sponges from the Cassian Ileds (Lower Camian, Dolomites) have been established using, among othels, luminescence tecbniques. The latter has beeil Sllccesfully to wimate the organie content and diagenetic history ofthe skeletons. Recent in"estigations yield the differentiation ofthree steps in the secretion ofthe skeleton in coralline sponges, according to which skelelal elements can be classified. The identification of these elements rendels infoiiuation on the way ofsecretion ofthe skeleton, the relative position ofthe soft tissue, and the function ofthe skeleton. Two basic type.s of sphinctozoan organisation can be distinguished: a matrix type, where a rigid framework, secreted in an organo-spicular matrix peneti"ates the soft t.issue (as in suomatoporoid coralline sponges) and a cortex type, where the skeleton is secreted by a speziali'WI layer (cortex) surrolmding the sponge body. These organizational types bear no phylogenetic implication.

Diese konnten mit Erfolg zur Abschätzung des Gehalts an organischen Stoffen und der diagenetischen Geschichte der Basalskelette eingesetzt werden. Neuere Untersuchungen erlauben die von drei Schritten in der Genese des Basalskeletts der corallinen Schwämme, die zu einer Klassifikation der Skelettelemente herangezogen werden können. Eine Identifikation der jeweiligen Elemente entsprechend dieser Klassifikation liefert Infoiinationen über die Art der Sekretion des Basalskeletts, die relative Position des Lebendgewebes und die Funktion des Skeletts. Zwei gnmdlegende Organisalionstypen können innelhalb der Sphinctozoen unterschieden werden: ein Matrix-Typ, bei dem das in einer organo-spikulären Matrix sekretiert wird, die den Weichkölper durchzieht (ähnlich den stromatoporoiden "CoraIline Spongien") lind ein Cortex-Typ, bei dem die Sekretion des Basalskeletts in einer spezialisierten, subdeiioalen Schicht (Cortex), die den Weichkölper umgibt, stattfindet Diese Organisationstypen haben keine Implikationen.

description: Economic experiments can help inform the design and implementation of government policies, especially newly conceived or novel policies. This report reviews experimental methods, with a focus on when and how they can be effectively used to inform agricultural program decisions. To illustrate the capabilities of experimental methods, five case studies are presented. First, a laboratory study examines whether it is possible to improve the cost-effectiveness of auctions similar to those used in voluntary land retirement programs. A second laboratory study, with both students and farmers, illustrates how a combination of targeting and bonuses may be able to improve environmental outcomes by encouraging coordination among conservation program enrollees. The third study, conducted in the field to more closely mimic real-world conditions, measures how farmers trade off current income against future income and finds farmers will accept less money if paid today rather than in the future. The fourth and fifth studies are randomized controlled trials testing the marketing of USDA programs; these show how outreach letters can increase participation in the Conservation Reserve Program and in county committee elections.
