Data were summarized separately for each of the two years. For each year, a Chi square goodness of fit test was used to examine whether or not there were equal levels of a damage type among three treatment categories within a variety. If there was a significant difference in damage among the three treatments in a …

Tomographic data provided estimates of hydraulic conductivity at a very high spatial resolution
We developed a Bayesian framework that permitted quantitative integration of borehole flow meter data and cross hole geophysical information for estimating the hydraulic conductivity distribution at each pixel along the tomographic cross sections. Figure 2 illustrates the estimates of hydraulic conductivity along two vertical cross sections at the Oyster site, obtained using the Bayesian estimation framework and …
A dynamic theory of PITP will be the subject of another effort
Recently, however, reports regarding the financial difficulties experienced by U.S. agricultural cooperatives have been much more common than news of their successes. In particular, the 2002 bankruptcy of Farmland Industries — a federation of 1,700 independent Midwestern cooperatives and the nation’s largest agricultural cooperative — received considerable media attention. In California, news about cooperatives has …

Farmer-owned reserve stocks and government-owned stocks are each modeled separately
Similar regressions have been reported by Belongia and by Grennes and Lapp, and each study supported neutrality of money growth after intervals of one year or less. Using annual data, Grennes and Lapp found that, once real demand and supply forces were accounted for, there appeared to be no effect of inflation on real agricultural …
AChE is a stable marker of exposure to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides
Similarly, SO2 or H2S gas modified agricultural wastes bio-chars produced -C=S and -S-S groups, which formed strong complexes with Cd2+ and Hg2+ . Depending on experimental conditions, methods to introduce S-containing functional groups can either increase or decrease specific surface area and pore volume of carbonaceous adsorbents ; however, any reduction in sorption capacity associated with the loss of …

Women’s employment outcomes tend to improve if remittances accompany male migration
A natural experiment from a migration lottery in New Zealand finds evidence that migrant earnings stimulate remittance flows and generate better mental health outcomes . If out migration causes the local labor supply to decrease, this can put upward pressure on wages, which can be beneficial to local workers but potentially harmful to farmers who rely on …
There is also evidence of a strong spillover impact during a crisis period on commodities
While the negative impacts of drought are often disproportionately spread to low-income individuals, we have seen that windfall gains to agriculture create short-run spillovers to other industries . This spillover is likely to impact closely related industries in terms of input-output and exchange the most . In the case of agriculture, we understand this to …
Women tend to have elevated risk for common mental disorders compared to men
We expand on this prior work on infectious disease by testing whether this distinction might also be important for explaining common mental illness – a fundamental aspect of health that has been extensively demonstrated to show significant associations with poverty. The picture from decades of research from high-income countries is clear: worse socioeconomic status consistently …

Wood was manufactured into commodities that sustained the currant industry in Patras
During this time, there were two corresponding kinds of migration: migration by laborers and would-be landowners to existing currant-growing regions, and migration by colonists to undeveloped land and non-currant growing regions. With these two types of migration taken together, it is evident that, in the currant growing region of the Peloponnese, there was a general …
The studies on the Greek currant boom are written primarily from an economic perspective
As a result of harsher conditions in the lowlands and new crops from the Americas, from the middle of the sixteenth century to the middle of the nineteenth century, permanent settlement in the Mediterranean region became more concentrated in the hills and mountains. Populations that could not keep up with the drainage work in low-lying …
