Eliciting time and risk preferences of farmers

Journal of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association, EarlyView.
Abstract We jointly elicit the time and risk preferences of farmers using a survey. Assuming risk neutrality (linear utility), we estimate a mean annual discount rate of 15.3%, which falls to 4.2% when accounting for risk preferences. Most farmer characteristics have an insignificant relationship with time and risk preferences, except that the percent ...

Association of cerebellar and pre-motor cortex gray matter density with subjective intoxication and subjective response following acute alcohol intake

Scientific Reports, 2023
Acute alcohol intake produces subjective intoxication (SI) and response (SR; e.g., valanced stimulation and sedation), which has important implications for alcohol-related risk.

Scalar FCNC and rare top decays in a two Higgs doublet model "for the top" [PDF]

, 2008
In the so called two Higgs doublet model for the top-quark (T2HDM), first suggested by Das and Kao, the top quark receives a special status, which endows it with a naturally large mass, and also potentially gives rise to large flavor changing neutral ...

How Well Is Surface Diurnal Temperature Range Represented by Observations at 2‐m Level

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that geostationary satellites depict well the Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR) in the US but differ from information at 2 m level from model outputs. Upper: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR) using GOES‐E based land surface temperature (LST) for January (left) and July (right) during 2004–2009. Lower: mean diurnal temperature range (DTR)

Modulation-mode and power-assignment for SVD-and GMD-assisted downlink MIMO systems [PDF]

, 2010
Multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink (DL) transmission schemes experience both multiuser interference (MUI) as well as inter-antenna interference.

Nondissipative Drag Conductance as a Topological Quantum Number

, 2001
We show in this paper that the boundary condition averaged nondissipative drag conductance of two coupled mesoscopic rings with no tunneling, evaluated in a particular many-particle eigenstate, is a topological invariant characterized by a Chern integer.

Moderate Fire Temperatures Affect the Structure of Clayey Oxisol Aggregates

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires have become increasingly frequent and intense worldwide, raising concerns about their impacts on soil systems. However, the thermal responses of clay‐rich Oxisols, dominated by Fe and Al oxides, remain poorly understood. In this study, samples from the 0 to 5 cm layer of six Oxisols were subjected to controlled heating at ...

Seedling resistance and chemical defenses against Psylliodes chrysocephala: the roles of seed age and sinapinic acid in Sinapis alba and Brassica napus

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala) is a major pest of winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus). We tested B. napus and Sinapis alba seedlings for feeding resistance and underlying chemical defenses. S. alba was least damaged, while metabolite profiles revealed resistance‐linked compounds, highlighting breeding potential for insect ...

Unnatural Wills: Inheritance Disputes and Inequality

The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Within the conceptual frame of relational economic sociology, inheritance disputes are a canonical form of relational mismatch. But the social patterning of relational mismatches, and their various ties to inequality, remain murky. In this paper, I examine all known inheritance disputes in Dallas from 1895–1945 within their social context to ...

Transkingdom Networks: A Systems Biology Approach to Identify Causal Members of Host-Microbiota Interactions

, 2017
Improvements in sequencing technologies and reduced experimental costs have resulted in a vast number of studies generating high-throughput data. Although the number of methods to analyze these "omics" data has also increased, computational complexity ...
