description: This paper summarizes the results of a survey of a stratified, random sample of 630 hog operations in Indiana and Nebraska. The survey was conducted in March and April, 2000 with support of a research grant to contribute to the development of a knowledge base to guide the design and implementation of effective risk management programs, policies and tools. This staff paper provides selected summary statistics with limited analysis of size of operation and state effects. Information is presented on sources and responses to risk as well as producers' views on selected agricultural policy, risk management and marketing issues. Use and perceptions of effectiveness of risk-reducing production practices are analyzed. Producers' use of production and marketing contracts, participation in risk management educational activities, interest in obtaining additional risk management information and preferences in learning methods are reported.

Demand and Price Analysis

description: While there are suggestions in applied cartel studies that price dispersion changes when cartelization of a market occurs, there are few theoretical or empirical analyses of this effect. This paper surveys the thin economic literature on the link between overt collusion and price dispersion. Formal theories and observation of cartel behavior suggest that during successfully collusive periods prices become less variable and more negatively skewed compared to relatively competitive periods. Four empirical studies of cartels verify these predictions.

description: We analyse the topology of photospheric magnetic fields and sub-photospheric flows of several active regions (ARs) that are observed during the peak to descending phase of the solar cycle 23. Our analysis shows clear evidence of hemispheric preferences in all the topological parameters such as the magnetic, current and kinetic helicities, and the 'curl-divergence'. We found that 68\%(67\%) ARs in the northern (southern) hemisphere with negative (positive) magnetic helicities. Same hemispheric preference sign is found for the current helicities in 68\%(68\%) ARs. The hemispheric preferences are found to exist statistically for all the time except in few ARs observed during the peak and the end phases of the solar cycle. This means that magnetic fields are dominantly left(right)-helical in scales smaller than individual ARs of northern(southern) hemisphere. We found that magnetic and current helicities parameters show equator-ward propagation similar to the sunspot cycle. The kinetic helicity showed similar hemispheric trend to that of magnetic and current helicity parameters. There are 65\%(56\%) ARs with negative (positive) kinetic helicity as well as divergence-curl, at the depth of 2.4\,Mm, in the northern (southern) hemisphere. The hemispheric distribution of the kinetic helicity becomes more evident at larger depths, e.g., 69\%(67\%) at the depth of 12.6\,Mm. Similar hemispheric trend of kinetic helicity to that of the current helicity supports the mean field dynamo model. We also found that the hemispheric distribution of all the parameters increases with the field strength of ARs. The topology of photospheric magnetic fields and near surface sub-photospheric flow fields did not show good association but the correlation between them enhances with depths which could be indicating more aligned flows at deeper layers of ARs.

(Dis)continuities in fishing practices at the onset of Neolithic: a case study from Starčevo, Serbia
Creators: name: Živaljević, Ivana

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Fishing , Early Neolithic, Starčevo

description: Whereas the significance of fishing is well documented at a number of Mesolithic and Early Neolithic (c. 9500 - 5500 cal BC) sites in the Danube Gorges (the Danube stretch between present-day Serbia and Romania) and is corroborated by archaeozoological, isotopic and archaeological evidence, this important activity has received less attention in the study of surrounding areas. The issue of determining the role of fishing is particularly relevant for the understanding of transitions from foraging to first food producing economies in the North-Central Balkans, the latter commonly associated with the Starčevo-Körös-Criş cultural complex (c. 6200 - 5500 cal BC). Existing data on isotopic dietary signatures of human remains from Early Neolithic Starčevo-Körös-Criş sites signal a more terrestrial diet (Whittle et al. 2002; 2005), however archaeozoological data from several Körös sites in Hungary (Bartosiewicz et al. 2012) suggest that the role of fishing, in addition to being obscured by inadequate recovery techniques, would have varied greatly depending on site location and other socio-economic factors. In this paper, we present and discuss the results of the analysis of fish remains from the eponimous, Early Neolithic site of Starčevo-Grad in Serbia. The site is situated on the former bank of the Danube at the edge of its floodplan, little over a 100 km upstream from the Danube Gorges as the crow flies. The faunal remains collected over the course of 1932 and 1969-1970 excavation campaigns (originating from both domestic and wild animals, waterfowl and fishes) were previously published by Clason (1980), and are indicative of a both stock-breeding and a hunting/fishing economy. The fish remains, albeit few, were collected mostly by hand; and the role of fishing was probably more substantial. The occurrence of large fish hooks and fishing net weights speak in favour of such hypothesis, as well as the environment of the site, which was located in the very proximity of the river. In addition to the re-analysis of the remains from older excavations of Starčevo-Grad, our study also included the analysis of fish remains collected during 2003-2008 excavation campaigns. The aim of this paper, as well as future analyses of Early Neolithic faunal assemblages is to problematize the presumed dichotomy between Mesolithic and Early Neolithic subsistence strategies and to assess the role of fishing at the advent of food producing economies in the Central Balkans.

description: Infrared reflectivity measurements of CeSb under multi-extreme conditions (low temperatures, high pressures and high magnetic fields) were performed. A pseudo gap structure, which originates from the magnetic band folding effect, responsible for the large enhancement in the electrical resistivity in the single-layered antiferromagnetic structure (AF-1 phase) was found at a pressure of 4 GPa and at temperatures of 35 - 50 K. The optical spectrum of the pseudo gap changes to that of a metallic structure with increasing magnetic field strength and increasing temperature. This change is the result of the magnetic phase transition from the AF-1 phase to other phases as a function of the magnetic field strength and temperature. This result is the first optical observation of the formation and collapse of a pseudo gap under multi-extreme conditions.

description: High Performance Computing (HPC) supercomputers are expected to play an increasingly important role in HEP computing in the coming years. While HPC resources are not necessarily the optimal fit for HEP workflows, computing time at HPC centers on an opportunistic basis has already been available to the LHC experiments for some time, and it is also possible that part of the pledged computing resources will be offered as CPU time allocations at HPC centers in the future. The integration of the experiment workflows to make the most efficient use of HPC resources is therefore essential. This paper describes the work that has been necessary to integrate LHCb workflows at a specific HPC site, the Marconi-A2 system at CINECA in Italy, where LHCb benefited from a joint PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe) allocation with the other Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments. This has required addressing two types of challenges: on the software application workloads, for optimising their performance on a many-core hardware architecture that differs significantly from those traditionally used in WLCG (Worldwide LHC Computing Grid), by reducing memory footprint using a multi-process approach; and in the distributed computing area, for submitting these workloads using more than one logical processor per job, which had never been done yet in LHCb.

description: Using event study methodology, we examine the effects of three Starlink corn food safety events on the risk and returns of directly involved agribusiness firms and the diffusion effects on other firms in the industry. We test the hypothesis that Starlink food safety events do not have an impact on the magnitude and volatility of the returns and the nondiversifiable risk of the firms. Based on the results of this study, we conclude that Wall Street is not sensitive to the Starlink corn food safety events.

description: Multi-view clustering has attracted increasing attentions recently by utilizing information from multiple views. However, existing multi-view clustering methods are either with high computation and space complexities, or lack of representation capability. To address these issues, we propose deep embedded multi-view clustering with collaborative training (DEMVC) in this paper. Firstly, the embedded representations of multiple views are learned individually by deep autoencoders. Then, both consensus and complementary of multiple views are taken into account and a novel collaborative training scheme is proposed. Concretely, the feature representations and cluster assignments of all views are learned collaboratively. A new consistency strategy for cluster centers initialization is further developed to improve the multi-view clustering performance with collaborative training. Experimental results on several popular multi-view datasets show that DEMVC achieves significant improvements over state-of-the-art methods.

description: Network relationships can be widely seen among entities in various fields such as social networks, supply networks and Internet of Things (IoT). Sometimes abnormal events such as cyber-attacks occur to cause an abrupt increase or decrease in the traffic of networks. Many anomaly detection methods have been developed to identify such abnormal events in networks. In recent years, statistical process control (SPC) has attracted more and more attention in network anomaly detection. However, many of the existing statistical models regard the interaction between two nodes in unweighted directed networks as a binary variable, i.e. presence and absence of contacts, which fails to reflect the intensity level of interactions. This article proposes a new model to describe the dyadic interactions with several ordinal levels and introduces special quantities to incorporate the ordinal information into the model. The model can be expressed in a matrix form to enable easy parameter estimation and derivation of a quadratic monitoring statistic. Numerous simulation studies show that the proposed methods detect anomalies in multi-relational networks more quickly than existing monitoring methods. A case study exhibits the implementation and superiority of the proposed method.

description: Federal and State regulatory agencies are considering switching from a nitrogen-based manure disposal policy to one that is phosphorus-based. This analysis estimates the compliance costs of this policy change for a representative hog-grain farm in Wabash County, Indiana. The representative farm includes 1,500 acres of cropland and has the capacity to raise 11,970 grow-finish hogs annually. The farm model also has the potential to produce four different crops on six different land types. A non-linear math-programming model was developed for this study to determine the optimal mix of management activities for a phosphorus-based regulation. The model maximizes farm returns above variable costs, subject to resource and regulatory constraints. The model allows mitigation of compliance costs via the choice between four different pig diets, three alternative methods of disposing manure, changes in timing of manure application, and crop pattern adjustments. This analysis concludes that the new regulation will result in a decrease in whole-farm returns above variable costs, use of alternative pig diets, and an increase in wheat acres planted. The model also reveals that it is optimal for the farmer to hire a custom hauler to assist in application of manure in an effort to reduce the degree to which available field days constrains farming activities. The estimated cost to the farmer, as a result of the policy change, ranges between $0.56 to $21.74 per pig capacity. The range of this estimate depends on the performance of markets for custom manure disposal, new feed ingredients, and off-farm spreading contracts. Thin markets for these factors reduce the flexibility the farmer has in mitigating the compliance costs via changes in diet, application method, cropping systems, and land activities.

description: Organic nanowires and quasi-two-dimensional chiral patterns of tetracyanoquinodimethane have been successfully generated by vacuum thermal evaporation. The nanowires and patterns were characterized by using atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The influence of electric charged clusters, deposition rate, and substrate temperature were experimentally investigated. Contrary to previous reports, charged clusters are found to be unnecessary to the chiral pattern formation. It was shown that the nanowire and pattern formation should be mainly dominated by its special crystallization properties, though the effect of the growth conditions cannot be neglected.

description: In e-commerce, consumer-generated videos, which in general deliver consumers' individual preferences for the different aspects of certain products, are massive in volume. To recommend these videos to potential consumers more effectively, diverse and catchy video titles are critical. However, consumer-generated videos seldom accompany appropriate titles. To bridge this gap, we integrate comprehensive sources of information, including the content of consumer-generated videos, the narrative comment sentences supplied by consumers, and the product attributes, in an end-to-end modeling framework. Although automatic video titling is very useful and demanding, it is much less addressed than video captioning. The latter focuses on generating sentences that describe videos as a whole while our task requires the product-aware multi-grained video analysis. To tackle this issue, the proposed method consists of two processes, i.e., granular-level interaction modeling and abstraction-level story-line summarization. Specifically, the granular-level interaction modeling first utilizes temporal-spatial landmark cues, descriptive words, and abstractive attributes to builds three individual graphs and recognizes the intra-actions in each graph through Graph Neural Networks (GNN). Then the global-local aggregation module is proposed to model inter-actions across graphs and aggregate heterogeneous graphs into a holistic graph representation. The abstraction-level story-line summarization further considers both frame-level video features and the holistic graph to utilize the interactions between products and backgrounds, and generate the story-line topic of the video. We collect a large-scale dataset accordingly from real-world data in Taobao, a world-leading e-commerce platform, and will make the desensitized version publicly available to nourish further development of the research community...

description: The significant role of sturgeon fishing in the Mesolithic-Neolithic Danube Gorges has long been recognized, but the reconstruction of the sizes of individuals caught has been hindered by the lack of recent specimens from the Danube drainage in reference collections. This paper presents a method to reconstruct the total length from skeletal remains of several sturgeon species (Huso huso, Acipenser gueldenstaedtii, A. nudiventris, A. stellatus, and A. ruthenus) using linear and power regression equations, obtained from the database of biometric data of recent sturgeons from the Volga-Caspian Basin. The application of these regression equations to specimens from the Danube Gorge sites of Lepenski Vir, Padina, and Vlasac suggests that sturgeon fishing was oriented towards large adult individuals, with the largest specimens (in the case of beluga) surpassing 550 cm in total length. In addition to providing means for predicting body size of sturgeon specimens from archaeological contexts in areas where modern sturgeon stocks are diminished or completely extirpated, this study has important implications for investigating nutritional values, fishing techniques, and human-animal interrelationships in the Mesolithic-Neolithic Danube Gorges.

description: Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies generate new opportunities for developing smart models, algorithms and tools to support supply chain (SC) production planning and control (PPC), or smart PPC (SPPC 4.0). Paired with opportunities, challenges arise in integrating sustainability and resilience in SC network design (SCND) according under I4.0. The main novelty of this paper is to propose two multi-objective models that integrate strategical and tactical PPC decisions into a sustainable-resilient SC under I4.0 towards SPPC 4.0. Sustainability is incorporated in terms of reducing costs and CO2 emissions, and a job creation factor. Resilience is incorporated in terms of contracting support suppliers. To solve the multi-objective models, the augmented epsilon constraint method (AUGMECON) was used. This algorithm minimises a target objective function while it treats the others as constraints. Our experiments indicate that AUGMECON is sensitive to the choice of epsilon values. Furthermore, a synthetic data generation tool called SR1-SR2_SynthDataGenerator was developed. This tool generates input datasets to validate and evaluate our models against benchmarks. A stochastic model (SR2) is also proposed that, with small datasets, takes 8.39 seconds to solve. The proposed models can be useful for industries that seek sustainable and resilient SCs to adapt to changing environments.

description: Precision technologies are now well-integrated into the agricultural industry - both at the farm level and at the crop input dealer level. No longer are crop input dealers only using the technologies to bring new services to their customers, they are also utilizing the technology in their own businesses to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their business operations. In early 2006, Crop Life magazine and Purdue University's Center for Food and Agricultural Business conducted a survey for the 11th consecutive year to assess the adoption of precision agriculture practices in the U.S. from the perspective of the retail crop input dealer. The questionnaire was sent to 2500 retail crop input dealerships across the U.S. A total of 368 questionnaires were returned, with 343 being usable providing an effective response rate of 14 percent. Consistent with previous surveys, dealers were asked questions about the types of precision services they offer and/or use in their businesses, the fees they are charging for precision services, how fast their customers are adopting precision agriculture practices, how profitable they are finding precision services to be in their businesses and how their precision customers compare with their 'traditional' customers.

description: We present new gas kinematic observations with the OSIRIS instrument at the GTC for galaxies in the Cl1604 cluster system at z=0.9. These observations together with a collection of other cluster samples at different epochs analyzed by our group are used to study the evolution of the Tully-Fisher, velocity-size and stellar mass-angular momentum relations in dense environments over cosmic time. We use 2D and 3D spectroscopy to analyze the kinematics of our cluster galaxies and extract their maximum rotation velocities (Vmax). Our methods are consistently applied to all our cluster samples which make them ideal for an evolutionary comparison. Up to redshift one, our cluster samples show evolutionary trends compatible with previous observational results in the field and in accordance with semianalytical models and hydrodynamical simulations concerning the Tully-Fisher and velocity-size relations. However, we find a factor 3 drop in disk sizes and an average B-band luminosity enhancement of 2 mag by z=1.5. We discuss the role that different cluster-specific interactions may play in producing this observational result. In addition, we find that our intermediate-to-high redshift cluster galaxies follow parallel sequences with respect to the local specific angular momentum-stellar mass relation, although displaying lower angular momentum values in comparison with field samples at similar redshifts. This can be understood by the stronger interacting nature of dense environments with respect to the field.

description: AU Mic~b is a Neptune size planet on a 8.47-day orbit around the nearest pre-main sequence ($\sim$20 Myr) star to the Sun, the bright (V=8.81) M dwarf AU Mic. The planet was preliminary detected in Doppler radial velocity time series and recently confirmed to be transiting with data from the TESS mission. AU Mic~b is likely to be cooling and contracting and might be accompanied by a second, more massive planet, in an outer orbit. Here, we present the observations of the transit of AU Mic~b using ESPRESSO on the VLT. We obtained a high-resolution time series of spectra to measure the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect and constrain the spin-orbit alignment of the star and planet, and simultaneously attempt to retrieve the planet's atmospheric transmission spectrum. These observations allow us to study for the first time the early phases of the dynamical evolution of young systems. We apply different methodologies to derive the spin-orbit angle of AU Mic~b, and all of them retrieve values consistent with the planet being aligned with the rotation plane of the star. We determine a conservative spin-orbit angle $λ$ value of $-2.96^{+10.44}_{-10.30}$, indicative that the formation and migration of the planets of the AU Mic system occurred within the disk. Unfortunately, and despite the large SNR of our measurements, the degree of stellar activity prevented us from detecting any features from the planetary atmosphere. In fact, our results suggest that transmission spectroscopy for recently formed planets around active young stars is going to remain very challenging, if at all possible, for the near future.

ON THE FOUNDATION OF AGRICULTURAL POLICY RESEARCH IN THE UNITED STATES

description: This paper identifies three scientific research programs in agricultural economics. The farm management approach (1870-1933), the farm problem approach (1933-1982) and the domestic and global welfare approach (1982-). In respect to agricultural policy research two competitive research programs developed out of the farm crisis of the 1920s. One program argued for government intervention in agriculture. The other argued for intervention in the general economy. The former program degenerated during the 1970s because of countervailing empirical evidence and a change in the understanding of positive economics. The latter program stayed progressive by adding the international dimension and by applying welfare economic analysis. Two other important factors influenced the development of agricultural policy. First, the unique institutional set up of the land grant system in which agricultural economics was founded as an applied science with a bias to help farmers. Second, the convergence of agricultural economics towards general economics that shifted the approach from applied to basic.

description: We propose a new topological invariant of unlabeled trees of N nodes. The invariant is a set of Nx2 matrices of integers, with sum_j k^{d_{i,j}} and v_i as the matrix elements, where d_{i,j} are the elements of the distance matrix and v_i denotes i-th node's degree and k in N. To compare the invariant calculated for possibly different graphs, the matrix rows are ordered with respect to first column, and -- if necessary -- with respect to the second one. We use the new invariant to evaluate from below the number of topologically different unlabeled trees up to N=17. The results slightly exceed the asymptotic evaluation of Otter.

description: All farming in prehistoric Europe ultimately came from elsewhere in one way or another, unlike the growing numbers of primary centers of domestication and agricultural origins worldwide. This fact affects every aspect of our understanding of the start of farming on the continent because it means that ultimately, domesticated plants and animals came from somewhere else, and from someone else. In an area as vast as Europe, the process by which food production becomes the predominant subsistence strategy is of course highly variable, but in a sense the outcome is the same, and has the potential for addressing more large-scale questions regarding agricultural origins. Therefore, a detailed understanding of all aspects of farming in its absolute earliest form in various regions of Europe can potentially provide a new perspective on the mechanisms by which this monumental change comes to human societies and regions. In this volume, we aim to collect various perspectives regarding the earliest farming from across Europe. Methodological approaches, archaeological cultures, and geographic locations in Europe are variable, but all papers engage with the simple question: What was the earliest farming like? This volume opens a conversation about agriculture just after the transition in order to address the role incoming people, technologies, and adaptations have in secondary adoptions. The book starts with an introduction by the editors which will serve to contextualize the theme of the volume. The broad arguments concerning the process of neolithisation are addressed, and the rationale for the volume discussed. Contributions are ordered geographically and chronologically, given the progression of the Neolithic across Europe. The editors conclude the volume with a short commentary paper regarding the theme of the volume.

description: In the disks of four jellyfish galaxies from the GASP sample at redshift $\sim 0.05$ we detect molecular gas masses systematically higher than in field galaxies. These galaxies are being stripped of their gas by ram pressure from the intra cluster medium and are, in general, forming stars at high rate with respect to non-stripped galaxies of similar stellar masses. We find that, unless giant molecular clouds in the disk are unbound by ram pressure leading to exceptionally high CO--to--$\rm H_2$ conversion factors, these galaxies have a molecular gas content 4-5 times higher than normal galaxies of similar masses, and molecular gas depletion times ranging from $\sim$1 to 9 Gyr, corresponding to generally very low star formation efficiencies. The molecular gas mass within the disk is a factor between 4 and $\sim$100 times higher than the neutral gas mass, as opposed to the disks of normal spirals that contain similar amounts of molecular and neutral gas. Intriguingly, the molecular plus neutral total amount of gas is similar to that in normal spiral galaxies of similar stellar mass. These results strongly suggest that ram pressure in disks of galaxies during the jellyfish phase leads to a very efficient conversion of HI into $\rm H_2$.

description: This paper presents and analyses economic data on 167 international cartels that were discovered by antitrust authorities after January 1990. The median cartel had five corporate members and generated $1.2 billion in sales during the collusive period. Nearly 40% of affected sales occurred in the organic chemicals industries, half of which were sold to food, feed, and agricultural firms. On average, the cartels lasted nearly six years, but average durability declined by more than 60% from the early 1990s to the early 2000s. In the early 2000s more than 20 international cartels were discovered each year, a rate six times faster than the early 1990s. The large size and longevity of these cartels, when combined with average monopoly overcharges of 28%, cause a great deal of monetary harm to buyers. Discovered cartels have met with increasingly harsh sanctions since 1990. Government authorities have imposed a total of $7.1 billion in fines on 870 companies and 62 executives, of which the United States (27%) and European Union (51%) are the major governments responsible. Private antitrust suits resulted in settlements totaling at least $3.4 billion. Some 32 executives have been imprisoned. Statutory penalties, if imposed at maximum levels, would extract about 12 times cartel overcharges, a level sufficient to deter most firms from forming or joining a cartel. However, applying optimal deterrence concepts to the characteristics of modern international cartels allows one to deduce that current antitrust enforcement is inadequate to deter cartel formation. This conclusion follows from low probabilities of detection, overly generous leniency policies in fine-setting, the absence of private suits outside North America, the inability of most indirect purchasers to recover damages, and generally weak anti-cartel enforcement in Asia and Latin America.
