American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

A new second-order integration algorithm for simulating mechanical dynamic systems [PDF]
A new integration algorithm which has the simplicity of Euler integration but exhibits second-order accuracy is described. In fixed-step numerical integration of differential equations for mechanical dynamic systems the method represents displacement and

Accounting for animal health in efficiency analysis: An application to Swedish dairy farms
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Poor animal health is a central concern in modern livestock production. Despite the necessity to incorporate animal health in efficiency analysis, the theoretical and empirical developments are limited on this subject. This article appropriately characterizes the axiomatic properties of animal health within a production framework.

The asymptotic representation of the fundamental matrix of a discrete system
Le Matematiche, 1999 In this paper by using the notion of discrete dichotomies, an asymptotic representation of Φ, the fundamental matrix of the linear difference equation y(n + 1) = (A(n) + B(n))y(n) is given.

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Estimating Semiparametric Panel Data Models by Marginal Integration [PDF]
We propose a new methodology for estimating semiparametric panel data models, with a primary focus on the nonparametric component. We eliminate individual effects using first differencing transformation and estimate the unknown function by marginal ...

Asymptotics of ramified integrals
, 2017 In the previous chapter, we saw that the singularities of ramified integrals lie on Landau manifolds. So the question then arises about a more precise description of these singularities. The aim of this chapter is to answer this question. In more detail, we study ramified integrals near generic points of Landau manifolds.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Adaptive mixing formation control of multiquadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle systems
Asian Journal of Control, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents a distributed adaptive mixing control (AMC) design for formation maintenance of systems of multiquadrotor UAVs (q‐UAVs) during commanded path‐tracking maneuvers. The proposed formation control scheme has a two‐level structure. The high level defines the desired trajectories for rigid and persistent formation acquisition and

Repeating Nuclear Transients From Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Extragalactic nuclear transients that exhibit repeating outbursts can be modeled as the repeated dynamical interaction between bound stars and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). A subset of these transients, with recurrence timescales of months‐to‐years, have been explained as accretion flares from the repeated tidal stripping of a star by an ...
