Do Tax Incentives for Farmland Leases Increase Farm Supply? Evidence From Iowa's Beginning Farmer Tax Credit

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, agriculture has become increasingly concentrated through horizontal mergers and acquisitions via corporate entities, and policy makers are concerned this will be exacerbated by the aging population of farm operators. To reduce market concentration in agriculture, many states have enacted policies to entice new prospective ...

Foreign labor, peer‐networking and agricultural efficiency in the Italian dairy sector

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
Abstract While the presence of immigrants in the agricultural sector is widely acknowledged, the empirical evidence on its economic consequences is lacking, especially from a microeconomic perspective. Using the Farm Accountancy Data Network panel data for Italian dairy farms in the period 2008–2018, the present study investigates the relationship ...

The Feedback Control Strategy of the Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Car-Following Model with Two Delays

open access: yesJournal of Control Science and Engineering, 2016
Considering the driver’s sensing the headway and velocity the different time-varying delays exist, respectively, and the sensitivity of drivers changes with headway and speed. Introducing the fuzzy control theory, a new fuzzy car-following model with two

Guaranteed Cost Nonfragile Robust Controller for Walking Simulation of Quadruped Search Robot on a Slope of VRML Model

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2014
The problem of walking simulation for the quadruped search robot on a slope is described as an uncertainty system. In order to create the virtual ramp road environment, VRML modeling language is used to build a real environment, which is a 3D terrain ...

“It Is Much Safer to Be Sparse than Connected”: Safe Control of Robotic Swarm Density Dynamics with PDE Optimization with State Constraints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This paper proposes a novel control framework to ensure safety of a robotic swarm. A feedback optimization controller is capable of driving the swarm toward a target density while keeping risk‐zone exposure below a safety threshold. Theory and experiments show how safety is more effectively achieved for sparsely connected swarms.

Generalization of a Hadamard type inequality for permanents

open access: yes, 2019
This paper is devoted to a generalization of a Hadamard type inequality for the permanent of a complex square matrix. Our proof is based on a non-trivial extension of a technique used in Carlen, Lieb and Loss (Methods and Applications of Analysis 13 (1) (

Computing rational solutions of linear matrix inequalities [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 38th International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic Computation, 2013
Consider a $(D\times D)$ symmetric matrix $\sfA$ whose entries are linear forms in $\Q[X_1, \ldots, X_k]$ with coefficients of bit size $\leq \tau$. We provide an algorithm which decides the existence of rational solutions to the linear matrix inequality $\sfA\succeq 0$ and outputs such a rational solution if it exists.

The Open‐Source Paradox: Africa's Digital Sovereignty and the Structural Limits of Artificial Intelligence Autonomy

open access: yesAI &Innovation, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐source artificial intelligence is widely promoted as a democratising pathway to digital sovereignty for African states, offering access to frontier architectures without prohibitive capital investment. This paper investigates whether open‐source AI represents a credible route to autonomy or generates a new form of structural dependency ...

An iterative output feedback controller-design strategy for energy-to-peak structural vibration control

open access: yesJournal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
To address the issue of inadequate control effect resulting from the challenge of measuring state feedback information comprehensively, this paper proposes an iterative output feedback energy-to-peak control method that solely depends on partial external
