TRUCKING FUEL TAXES AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN PRIMARY GRAIN TRANSPORTATION
Creators: name: Vercammen, James
name: Vercammen, James
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2001
Subjects: Agricultural and Food Policy

description: A tax on fuel is one of the primary mechanisms for reducing truck transport externalities such as greenhouse gas emissions, road damage, congestion, and accidents. The economic efficiency properties of a fuel tax are examined for the farm-to-elevator grain trucking sector--a sector for which the road damage externality is often severe. Because trucking volumes cumulate more rapidly near the delivery points, marginal external cost is generally not proportional to distance. Further, noncompetitive FOB pricing by grain buyers implies that road tax discounts to offset price markups should be independent of location. In both cases, a fuel tax is not capable of efficiently addressing the externality. With discriminatory pricing by buyers, "cross-hauling" emerges and the optimal fuel tax is unexpectedly high because the buyer passes on only a portion of the tax to the farmer. In a simple example with discriminatory pricing, the optimal fuel tax reduces excess average trucking distance by less that 50%.

description: Surveys of visitors to National Forests in Colorado were conducted to determine whether different fire ages and presence of crown fires have different effects on hiking and mountain biking recreation visits and benefits. Actual and intended behavior data were combined using a count-data travel cost model. The intended behavior trip questions asked about changes in number of trips due to the presence of a high-intensity crown fire, prescribed fire, and a 20-year-old high-intensity fire at the area respondents were visiting. Using the estimated recreation demand function, years since a non-crown fire had statistically significant positive effect on the trip demand of hikers. In contrast, presence of crown fires had no statistically significant effect on the quantity of hiker trips, but had a significant and negative effect on mountain biking trips. Crown fires also had a large effect on the value per trip, with crown fires increasing the value per hiking trip but lowering the value per mountain biking trip.

description: Real livestock prices and farm-wholesale marketing margins have steadily declined over the past 20 years. Studies examining the causes of these declines have generally failed to account directly for technological change in livestock production and red meat slaughtering. We estimate reduced-form models for beef and pork farm-wholesale marketing margins and cattle and hog prices that include specific measures of technological change. Empirical results indicate cost savings generated by improved meat packing technologies have reduced real margins and positively influenced real cattle and hog prices. However, technological change embodied in cattle production weights has led to substantial declines in real slaughter cattle prices. Nonetheless, the net effect of improved meat packing technology has been to increase cattle price by $1.75/cwt and reduce the farm-wholesale beef marketing margin by 22.8 cents/lb.

description: The continued decline in both the number of and the acreage in small-scale farms and rural communities, as well as food safety and environmental concerns, has heightened interest in the community-supported agriculture (CSA) concept. Mean-variance, stochastic dominance, mean-Gini, and exponential utility/moment-generating function approaches to stochastic efficiency are employed to analyze three years of farm survey data on core management options for CSA farms. The core concept yields higher net income per acre than non-core management and, based on the stochastic efficiency analysis, should be regarded as the preferred management option for many CSA operators.
Long-term status following arthroscopic scapulothoracic debridement surgery : reliability of measures and a comprehensive assessment profile applied to operated and healthy subjects
Creators: name: Plotnikoff, Nadine Annalisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Long-term status following unilateral scapulothoracic arthroscopic debridement is not clear from the literature as no follow-up profiling specific to this intervention which includes the use of both subjective and objective outcome measures is available. A prospective study was first done with a group of healthy subjects to confirm test-retest reliability of two tests of static scapular position (n=30) and five positions for isometric strength testing of the scapular retractor and protractor muscle groups (n=20). High within-session reliability was calculated for both scapular position tests and four of the five scapular strength test positions. Between-session reliability data, however, was more varied. Subsequently, the Modified DeVita's static scapular position test, one scapular retraction and two scapular protraction strength test positions were chosen for the comparative study. A comprehensive assessment profile was then performed on 6 operated.subjects and 6 healthy subjects matched to them, comparing differences between arms in the operated group and between the surgical arms of the operated subjects and the dominant arms of the healthy subjects. The outcome measures utilized were the VAS and DDS pain scales, the DASH questionnaire, isometric scapular retraction and protraction strength testing, the Modified DeVita's Test and isokinetic strength testing of glenohumeral internal and external rotation. At a time frame of at least one year postoperatively, the operated subjects reported significantly higher levels of pain and dysfunction than the healthy subjects did. Scapular retraction and protraction strength was significantly less in the affected arms of the operated group compared to their unaffected arms and to the dominant arms of the healthy group. Glenohumeral internal rotation strength was significantly less in the affected arms of the operated group, compared to their affected arms. Reliability data collected with the operated group confirmed high within-session reliability for the DASH questionnaire. It is hoped that the results of this study will lead to an enhanced understanding of the long-term status of individuals following arthroscopic scapulothoracic procedures and will initiate further development of scapular-based outcome measures, such that their use in clinical assessment and research expands.
The Bright End of the Luminosity Function of Red Sequence Galaxies

description: We study the bright end of the luminosity distribution of galaxies in fields with Luminous Red Galaxies (LRG) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using 2099 square degree of SDSS imaging data, we search for luminous (> L*) early-type galaxies within 1.0 Mpc/h of a volume-limited sample of 12,608 spectroscopic LRG in the redshift range 0.12 < z < 0.38. Most of these objects lie in rich environments, with the LRG being the brightest object within 1.0 Mpc/h. The luminosity gap, M12, between the first and second-rank galaxies within 1.0 Mpc/h is large (~0.8 mag), substantially larger than can be explained with an exponentially decaying luminosity function of galaxies. The brightest member is less luminous (by 0.1 to 0.2 mag), and shows a larger gap in LRG selected groups than in cluster-like environments. The large luminosity gap shows little evolution with redshift to z = 0.4, ruling out the scenario that these LRG selected brightest cluster or group galaxies grow by recent cannibalism of cluster members.

description: Analysis of U.S. feeder steer prices normally includes fed cattle prices and feed grain costs. An expanded econometric model which investigates finance cost, profit risk, hay cost, technology, and Mexican feeder cattle import shares is estimated. Results indicate statistical significance of nearly all variables. The increase in feeder import shares contributed to $0.60/cwt of the $24.48/cwt decline in real feeder price from 1980-1999. Improved technology in producing feeder calves had reduced feeder prices more substantially, by $4. 86/cwt from 1980-1999. Increased feedlot technology through cost savings has increased feeder price. Feedlot risk management and macro-economic policies affecting the U.S. prime interest rate could continue to affect feeder prices.

description: Responses from a national survey of U.S. organic farmers indicated dissatisfaction with the extension service. An ordered probit model was used to identify the factors influencing effectiveness ratings of extension advisors by farmers. Study findings show that part-time, higher income organic farmers who used a variety of highly rated private-sector information sources rated extension providers as more effective. Farmers in the Northeast and West regions rated extension usefulness more highly than in other regions. Not accounting for these demographic components in effectiveness ratings may result in under- or overestimation of results of organic-targeted extension programs. Extension agents can improve their usefulness to organic farmers by complementing educational and technical services offered by the private sector, and by facilitating farmer information exchanges as well as presenting relevant research findings as they have traditionally done.

description: Although having achieved great success in medical image segmentation, deep learning-based approaches usually require large amounts of well-annotated data, which can be extremely expensive in the field of medical image analysis. Unlabeled data, on the other hand, is much easier to acquire. Semi-supervised learning and unsupervised domain adaptation both take the advantage of unlabeled data, and they are closely related to each other. In this paper, we propose uncertainty-aware multi-view co-training (UMCT), a unified framework that addresses these two tasks for volumetric medical image segmentation. Our framework is capable of efficiently utilizing unlabeled data for better performance. We firstly rotate and permute the 3D volumes into multiple views and train a 3D deep network on each view. We then apply co-training by enforcing multi-view consistency on unlabeled data, where an uncertainty estimation of each view is utilized to achieve accurate labeling. Experiments on the NIH pancreas segmentation dataset and a multi-organ segmentation dataset show state-of-the-art performance of the proposed framework on semi-supervised medical image segmentation. Under unsupervised domain adaptation settings, we validate the effectiveness of this work by adapting our multi-organ segmentation model to two pathological organs from the Medical Segmentation Decathlon Datasets. Additionally, we show that our UMCT-DA model can even effectively handle the challenging situation where labeled source data is inaccessible, demonstrating strong potentials for real-world applications.

description: Recent court rulings question the ability of commodity groups to fund generic promotions through mandatory check-off programs. A model examining incentives to fund brand advertisements when both brand and generic advertising exist is presented. Brand advertising expands the market by attracting new consumers to the industry, and allows the advertising firm to take customers from rivals in the industry. Homogeneous products are advertised too little relative to the amount that maximizes total industry profits, and brandable products are advertised too much. The optimal check-off rate is derived, and the Dorfman-Steiner condition is shown to be a special case of this model.

The input Fock state is interacted with an ancilla squeezed vacuum state using a beam-splitter. We transform the quantum system by post-selecting on the continuous-observable measurement outcome of the ancilla state. We experimentally demonstrate the principles of this scheme using displaced coherent states and measure experimentally fidelities that are only achievable using quantum resources.

description: Change is a difference in a state of affairs with reference to various things or a different context. To change or to be a change that is always a perennial question in everyone's life at almost every stage. Nations are also not different. Higher education in India has always been an experimentation; either from the policymakers or from the stakeholders. Think of any change and we are always reminded of the adage that says change is the only constant in this world. The idea of the Grand academic portal has also started first to change ourselves and also to be a change maker in the various fields of higher education in India. When we seek any change it has to be both-inter and intra, to get the Holistic approach. To get a change in interpersonal and community narrative in the higher education we need to look at it from five different dimensions-the classroom, the institution, the community, the nation and the world. This paper discusses the important areas to be changed in the field of Higher education in India.

The time-dependent Schroedinger equation is solved for an electron exposed to a linearly polarized plane wave of arbitrary shape. The calculation goes beyond the dipole approximation, such that magnetic field effects like wave packet shearing are included. Analytical expressions for the time-dependent widths of the wave packet and its orientation are established. These allow for a simple understanding of the wave packet dynamics.

description: We report on searches for B- --> Ds- Phi and B- --> Ds*- Phi. In the context of the Standard Model, these decays are expected to be highly suppressed since they proceed through annihilation of the b and u-bar quarks in the B- meson. Our results are based on 234 million Upsilon(4S) --> B Bbar decays collected with the BABAR detector at SLAC. We find no evidence for these decays, and we set Bayesian 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions BF(B- --> Ds- Phi) < 1.9x10^(-6) and BF(B- --> Ds*- Phi)<1.2x10^(-5). These results are consistent with Standard Model expectations.

description: Deep neural networks are ubiquitous due to the ease of developing models and their influence on other domains. At the heart of this progress is convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that are capable of learning representations or features given a set of data. Making sense of such complex models (i.e., millions of parameters and hundreds of layers) remains challenging for developers as well as the end-users. This is partially due to the lack of tools or interfaces capable of providing interpretability and transparency. A growing body of literature, for example, class activation map (CAM), focuses on making sense of what a model learns from the data or why it behaves poorly in a given task. This paper builds on previous ideas to cope with the increasing demand for interpretable, robust, and transparent models. Our approach provides a simpler and intuitive (or familiar) way of generating CAM. The proposed Eigen-CAM computes and visualizes the principle components of the learned features/representations from the convolutional layers. Empirical studies were performed to compare the Eigen-CAM with the state-of-the-art methods (such as Grad-CAM, Grad-CAM++, CNN-fixations) by evaluating on benchmark datasets such as weakly-supervised localization and localizing objects in the presence of adversarial noise. Eigen-CAM was found to be robust against classification errors made by fully connected layers in CNNs, does not rely on the backpropagation of gradients, class relevance score, maximum activation locations, or any other form of weighting features. In addition, it works with all CNN models without the need to modify layers or retrain models. Empirical results show up to 12% improvement over the best method among the methods compared on weakly supervised object localization.

description: We present a detailed investigation of the particle pair separation process in homogeneous isotropic turbulence. We use data from direct numerical simulations up to Taylor's Reynolds number 280 following the evolution of about two million passive tracers advected by the flow over a time span of about three decades. We present data for both the separation distance and the relative velocity statistics. Statistics are measured along the particle pair trajectories both as a function of time and as a function of their separation, i.e. at fixed scales. We compare and contrast both sets of statistics in order to gain an insight into the mechanisms governing the separation process. We find very high levels of intermittency in the early stages, that is, for travel times up to order ten Kolmogorov time scales. The fixed scale statistics allow us to quantify anomalous corrections to Richardson diffusion in the inertial range of scales for those pairs that separate rapidly. It also allows a quantitative analysis of intermittency corrections for the relative velocity statistics.

description: Ge atoms segregating on zirconium diboride thin films grown on Ge(111) were found to crystallize into a two-dimensional bitriangular structure which was recently predicted to be a flat band material. Angle-resolved photoemission experiments together with theoretical calculations verified the existence of a nearly flat band in spite of non-negligible in-plane long-range hopping and interactions with the substrate. This provides the first experimental evidence that a flat band can emerge from the electronic coupling between atoms and not from the geometry of the atomic structure.
The role of the insulin-like growth factor pathway in ETV6-NTRK3-mediated transformation
Creators: name: Morrison, Kevin B.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Congenital fibrosarcoma (CFS) and cellular congenital mesoblastic nephroma (CMN) are pediatric spindle cell malignancies that are characterized by two specific cytogenetic abnormalities: trisomy of chromosome 11 and a t(12;15)(pl3;q25) rearrangement. The t(12;15) translocation creates a transcriptionally active fusion gene that encodes a chimeric protein, ETV6-NTRK3 (EN). This fusion oncogene transforms NIH3T3 fibroblasts through constitutive activation of the Ras-MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway. In this study we demonstrate that trisomy 11 correlates with high expression of insulin-like growth factor-II (IGF-II) in CFS and CMN tumor samples using Northern blotting. We provide evidence that an intact IGF signaling axis is essential for EN-mediated transformation by expression of EN in IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR) knockout murine fibroblasts. In the absence of IGF-IR, EN is only partially transforming as measured by colony formation in soft agar. We have investigated the signaling pathways activated by IGF-IR and the EN fusion protein in NIH3T3 and IGF-IR knockout murine fibroblasts (R-cells) and we have found significant overlap and interdependence between these two pathways. Along with constitutive activation of the Ras-MAPK pathway, EN transformation is also dependent on constitutive activation of the phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase (PI-3K)-Akt survival pathway as demonstrated through the use of the specific PI-3K blocking agents, LY294002 and wortmannin, that revert transformation. The levels of activation of these key transformation pathways are significantly reduced in the absence of IGF-IR. In the presence and absence of IGF-IR, however, EN appears to interact with the major downstream substrate of IGF-IR, the insulin-receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), as demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation experiments. IRS-1 appears to be a substrate for the kinase domain of EN as it is constitutively tyrosine-phosphorylated in the presence and absence of IGF-IR in EN expressing cells. Also, IRS-1 serves as a docking site for recruitment of Grb2 and p85 which are key elements involved in the activation of the PI-3K-Akt and Ras-MAPK pathways. Despite its ability to activate IRS-1, EN fails to confer a fully transformed phenotype to IGF-IR knockout cells. We speculate that IGF-IR may allow maximal activation of the PI-3K-Akt and MAPK pathways through direct binding and activation of upstream elements of these pathways independent of IRS-1 or that IGF-IR plays a role in translocating activated IRS-1 and EN to the inner cell membrane where they can act efficiently in a subcellular compartment enriched for upstream regulatory elements of the PI-3K-Akt and MAPK pathways.

description: The problem of determining whether quadratic programming models possess either unique or multiple optimal solutions is important for empirical analyses which use a mathematical programming framework. Policy recommendations which disregard multiple optimal solutions (where they exist) are potentially incorrect and less than efficient. This paper proposes a strategy and the associated algorithm for finding all optimal solutions to any positive semidefinite linear complementarity problem. One of the main results is that the set of complementary solutions is convex. Although not obvious, this proposition is analogous to the well-known result in linear programming which states that any convex combination of optimal solutions is itself optimal.
Spitzer Discovery of Very Low Luminosity Objects

description: The Spitzer Space Telescope allows for the first time to search systematically for very low luminosity (= 0.1 L_sun) objects (VeLLOs) associated with dense molecular cores. They may be the first candidate Class 0 sources with sub-stellar masses. We describe such a source in the dense molecular core L1148. VeLLO natal cores show properties that are unusual for star-forming cores. The low luminosity and in some cases the lack of prominent outflow could be the result of the small gas supply near the VeLLO.

description: Multinucleon transfer mechanism in the collision of ${}^{238}\text{U}+{}^{238}\text{U}$ system is investigated at $E_\text{c.m.} =833$ MeV in the framework of the quantal diffusion description based on the stochastic mean-field approach (SMF). Double cross-sections $σ(N,Z)$ as a function of the neutron and proton numbers, the cross-sections $σ(Z)$ and $σ(A)$ as a function of the atomic numbers and the mass numbers are calculated for production of the primary fragments. The calculation indicates the ${}^{238} \text{U}+{}^{238} \text{U}$ system may be located at an unstable equilibrium state at the potential energy surface with a slightly negative curvature along the beta stability line on the $(N,Z)-$plane. This behavior may lead to rather large diffusion along the beta stability direction.

description: Enyzme kinetics are cyclic. We study a Markov renewal process model of single-enzyme turnover in nonequilibrium steady-state (NESS) with sustained concentrations for substrates and products. We show that the forward and backward cycle times have idential non-exponential distributions: $\QQ_+(t)=\QQ_-(t)$. This equation generalizes the Haldane relation in reversible enzyme kinetics. In terms of the probabilities for the forward ($p_+$) and backward ($p_-$) cycles, $k_BT\ln(p_+/p_-)$ is shown to be the chemical driving force of the NESS, $Δμ$. More interestingly, the moment generating function of the stochastic number of substrate cycle $ν(t)$, $$ follows the fluctuation theorem in the form of Kurchan-Lebowitz-Spohn-type symmetry. When $λ$ = $Δμ/k_BT$, we obtain the Jarzynski-Hatano-Sasa-type equality: $$ $\equiv$ 1 for all $t$, where $νΔμ$ is the fluctuating chemical work done for sustaining the NESS. This theory suggests possible methods to experimentally determine the nonequilibrium driving force {\it in situ} from turnover data via single-molecule enzymology.

description: A model describing the choice of technology is developed from theoretical considerations. It is shown that the model can be approximated using a logit function. Estimates of short-run elasticities are easily obtained. The model is then applied to the decision to place feeder cattle in confined feeding situations or on range. With one possible exception, the results are consistent with theoretical expectations and with previous studies.

description: Engaged Buddhism refers to Buddhists who are seeking ways to apply the insights from meditation practice and dharma teachings to situations of social, political, environmental, and economic suffering and injustice. The Non-duality of Personal and Social Practice is making such engagement possible even today. Buddhist teachings themselves as the restrictive social conditions within which Asian Buddhism has had to function. To survive in the often ruthless world of kings and emperors, Buddhism needed to emphasize its otherworldliness. This encouraged Buddhist institutions and Buddhist teachings (especially regarding karma and merit) to develop in ways that did not question the social order. In India today, Modern democracy and respect for human rights, however imperfectly realized, offer new opportunities for understanding the broader implications of Buddhist teachings. Furthermore, while it is true that the post/modern world is quite different from the Buddha‟s, Buddhism is thriving today because its basic principles remain just as true as when the Buddha taught them. A classic case of engaged Buddhism in India is discussed in this paper which deliberates on the Dalit- Buddhist equation in modern India. For Dalits, whose material circumstances were completely different from the higher castes, the motivation continually remained: to find out concerning suffering and to achieve its finish, in every person‟s life and in society. Several of them have turned to Dhamma in response to the Buddha‟s central message concerning suffering and therefore the finish of suffering. Previously lower-caste Hindus, the Indian Buddhists in Nagpur regenerate under the political influence of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the author of India‟s constitution, to denounce caste oppression. They became Buddhist for political and religious reasons, and today, the implications of their actions still unfold in some ways. Their belief in the four seals of Buddhism –

description: This paper examines the impact of selected socioeconomic characteristics on aggregate and group food expenditure patterns of racially different low-income households. A double logarithmic functional form was used to explain responses in household food expenditures to socioeconomic factors. Household income, family size, and Food Stamp Program participation were found to exert a strong positive impact on food expenditures. The general educational level of the homemaker registered no significant impact on household food expenditures. However, the nutritional knowledge of the homemaker increased the efficiency of food purchasing activities.

description: There is some justification for the impression that agricultural economics has entered an era of relatively greater budget stress than that of the recent past. However, optimal strategies for sustaining or enhancing departmental productivity in research, teaching and extension are invariant to the budget level. These "strategies" are discussed in the form of "ten commandments" to department heads.

description: The history of women"s education in modern India is closely interwoven with the history of social reform and politics in the 19 th century. It is not that women had no skills or knowledge but education then meant learning the sacred scriptures. This was achieved mostly through oral tradition. Amongst the Hindus, only the upper caste learned the religious texts. Today, almost half of the population in India is occupied by women. They are half of the human resources. But it is very unfortunate to say that for long years there has been a strong bias against women and thereby there is a tendency to deny the equal socioeconomic opportunity for them. This neglecting attitude towards women is prominent in many respects particularly in the field of education. None can deny the fact that education is the fundamental agents for the socioeconomic development of a country. But women access in the domain of education has not been fairly treated. Education: Education has a special significance in the context of a quasi-traditional or transitional society like India. The inducement of social change is one of the fundamental functions of education. The report of Indian education commission (1964-66) stated: "The realization of the country"s aspirations involves changes in the knowledge, skills, and values of the people as a whole. If this "change in a grand scale" is to be achieved without a violent revolution there is one and only instrument that is used-Education".
