Crop codes were developed using three levels of classification

Farms in our sample had an average of $1.4 million in assets and $0.6 million in debts. The average debt-to asset ratio was close to 0.5. This ratio is much higher than the 0.16 debt-to-asset ratio reported by the United States Department of Agriculture for all American agriculture in 2003. When viewing assets and debts as …

The ratio is high if there is seasonality and high rates of turnover

Kaplan’s support—and further pressure on Planning staff by City Council President Jane Brunner—was essential for getting the Planning Department to begin integrating urban agriculture into the current zoning update. The passage of SF’s urban agriculture ordinance also provided a significant boost to urban agriculture advocates in Oakland. Pesticide Watch, one of the NGOs active in …

Median income in Elmhurst dropped to 10 percent lower than that of the city

A 1910 promotional booklet published by the Oakland Chamber of Commerce features a world map with all shipping lines leading to “Oakland Opposite the Golden Gate, The Logical Port and Industrial Center of the Pacific Coast” . 47 Worker housing emerged primarily in West Oakland, between the downtown business district and the rail and shipping …

One such plant community that may be vulnerable to extreme climatic change is chaparral

While seasonal droughts are known to be a natural and regular occurrence in arid and semi-arid regions, the increased frequency, duration, and intensity with which they have occurred in recent years is highly unusual . Such extreme droughts, referred to as “global-change type drought” , are predicted to continue, and even become the norm, as …

The food bank is the hub surrounded by the network of gardening donations

In eastern Chester County, the rural zoning is typically one house per two acres, with only a few municipalities requiring one house per 10 acres. Chester County’s master plan seeks to acknowledge and support agricultural economic planning through a variety of measures that focus economic development efforts on farm-related businesses, promote agritourism, transition younger farmers …

Risk levels start at blue for low-risk areas and range up to orange and red for the highest risk areas

Hypothetically, an area is at higher risk of disease transmission if it is more likely to experience interactions between feral pig and domestic pigs raised outdoors, as these outdoor based pigs can serve as a conduit for disease spread from wildlife to humans. Locations at greatest risk for increased contact between both swine populations are those …

An interesting example is found in green berries sampled in Riccione

The grapem1355 candidate maps on chromosome 3, exactly on thefirst exon of its target , in a region where another two isoforms of the same gene are located . The last target of this miRNA candidate, codes a cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase known to be involved in the lignin biosynthesis . Other novel vvi-miRNA candidates seem …

There were 910 GO categories in total that were significantly enriched

The Berry phases of bosonic and fermionic coherent sates and the special cases with a 1D Hilbert space are summarized in the Appendix. The classical approach to the central limit theorem and the accuracy of approximations for independent random variables rely heavily on Fourier transform methods. However, the use of Fourier methods is highly limited …

The ABC trilayer orbital magnet imaging measurements were performed in this system

The first intrinsic two dimensional ferromagnets were discovered in 2017, so I think it’s safe to say that our field hasn’t yet come particularly close to identifying all possible two dimensional magnets. It’s hard to do an accurate accounting of all of the so-far discovered two dimensional magnets, and it is certainly the case that …

This is a pretty non-intuitive result, but it really is a property of many systems

For this reason, orbital magnetism does not need spin-orbit coupling to support hysteresis, and it can couple to a much wider variety of physical phenomena than spin magnetism can- indeed, anything that affects the electronic band structure or real space wave function is fair game. For this reason we can expect to encounter many of the …
