Spatial price competition and buyer power in the U.S. beef packing industry

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We develop a spatially‐explicit model of the U.S. beef packing industry to study key questions related to competition in an oligopsony setting. Cattle supplies are modeled at the county level, and packing plants' location, capacity, and ownership are taken as given. Packers procure negotiated cattle by competing in prices in each local (county)

Style Brush: Guided Style Transfer for 3D Objects

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
We introduce Style Brush, a guided 3D style‐transfer method for textured meshes that provides precise creative control. It supports the use of multiple style images, smooth transitions and intuitive guidance, producing visually appealing textures that follow user intent as we demonstrate in our user study and results. Abstract We introduce Style Brush,

Lur’e equations and even matrix pencils

Linear Algebra and its Applications, 2011
The set of solutions of Lur'e equations in terms of deflating subspaces of even matrix pencils is characterized. It is shown that there exist special extremal solutions in terms of definiteness and a procedure to construct these solutions via deflating subspaces of even matrix pencils is formulated.

Developing L2 semantic knowledge of English modality through concept‐based language instruction: Do cognitive linguistics materials have an advantage?

The Modern Language Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the pedagogical impact of integrating cognitive linguistics (CL) into concept‐based language instruction (C‐BLI) for teaching English modal verbs. Eighty‐nine Mandarin‐speaking university learners were assigned to one of three instructional conditions: C‐BLI with CL‐based conceptualizations (C‐BLI‐CL), C‐BLI with non‐CL

The Natural Components of a Regular Linear System

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The analysis of a finite‐dimensional regular linear system may be simplified by separating the system into its natural components. The natural components are smaller linear systems on separate subspaces whose dimensions sum to the dimension of the original linear system.
