The Need for New Milk Pricing Policies
No full textGood morning. Thank you for inviting us to speak to you today. My name is Adam N.
Rabinowitz and I am a Ph.D. Candidate and Graduate Research Assistant in the Food Marketing Policy Center, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Connecticut. Unfortunately, Dr. Ronald W. Cotterill could not be here to speak with you today because he is testifying as an expert economist in a United States Federal Court on issues
pertaining to Puerto Rico dairy regulations. Since 2002, Dr. Cotterill and I have done extensive research on milk pricing in southern New England, documenting the relationship between retail,
wholesale, and farm prices in the milk marketing channel. Today I am going to discuss milk prices and margins at various levels of the marketing channel as well as the need for a market based pricing policy in Connecticut
Dialogical Relationships between ""the Authorial Reader"" and ""the Narrative Reader"" in Reading of Fiction (I) : Considering Rabinowitz & Smith's Authorizing Readers as a Pedagogical Theory for Teaching of Fictions
No full textIn this Paper, Peter Rabinowitz and Michael Smith's Authorizing Readers (1997) was considered as a fundamental work for teaching of fictional texts. Rabinowitz and Smith emphasized the dialogical relationships between ""the authorial reader"" and ""the narrative reader"" in reading acts of a practical reader. Rabinowitz argued that if readers failed to playing either ""the authorial reader"" or ""the narrative reader"", they would take any misreadings such that what he called ""Quixotic"" or ""Emma-Bovary"" or ""Blimberism."" On the other hand, Smith argued if readers wouldn't play as ""the narrative reader"" but as ""the authorial reader,"" they couldn't get the point of the story, and couldn't respect not only characters and narrator, but also the author of the story. Rabinowitz also emphasized the rhetoric of fragile texts, and suggested that we teachers of fictions must resist what he called ""the Doctorine of the Macho Text,"" and consider the fragilities of fictional texts for comprehending any other reader's comprehention. In conclusion, some suggestions for reconstructioning teaching and learning of fictions were suggested as follows; 1) For respect to the author, we must recognize the effectiveness of ""the authorial reader"" concept in reading act. ; 2) For respect to the narrators and the fictional characters, we must develop literary reading process founded by the triadic relations with practical reader, ""the authorial reader"" and ""the narrative reader""; 3) For respect any other peer-readers, we should develop teaching practices holding perspectives to fragilities of fictional texts

Surface to surface: war, image & the senses in the screenic era
No full textUniversity of Minnesota Ph.D. dissertation. April 2013. Major: English. Advisor: Paula Rabinowitz. 1 computer file (PDF); v, 207 pages.The dissertation investigates the entanglement of war and media technologies from the 1960s to the present in the context of the Vietnam, Persian Gulf, and Iraq Wars. I develop a concept of `the screenic' to address both the phenomenological and ecological aspects of the screen and other junctures of sensory and technological networks of war.Schrag, Adam. (2013).

A General Equilibrium Model for Philippine Agricultural Policy Analysis
No full textThis article has been presented at the Workshop on Methods for Agricultural Policy Analysis held at the UP Los Baños on August 13-14, 1985. It outlines the features of the computable general equilibrium developed by the author and describes the modifications undertaken to fit the model into agricultural policy analysis. This is in the hope of addressing limitations of the original model.computable general equilibrium (CGE), agriculture sector, econometric modeling

Unambiguous full multinuclear NMR assignment of 4-amino-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracycylophane & NMR differentiation of its enantiomers, and related compounds
No full textFor the first time the full multinuclear ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹⁹F assignments were established for 4-amino-1,1,2,2,9,9,10,10-octafluoro[2.2]paracyclophane (OFP-NH2). These were achieved by using a combination of 1D, COSY, and HETCOR NMR techniques. The assignments were later confirmed by nOe experiments. The interaction of OFP-NH₂ with different chiral shift reagents was explored, and it was shown that it is possible to clearly detect both enantiomers of the planar chiral OFP-NH₂ (in both the ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR). This method of chiral discrimination was also shown to be applicable to other similar chiral OFP derivatives.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Sheryl Rabinowit

A Computational Approach To Cultural Resource Management: Autodetecting Archaeological Features In Satellite Imagery With Convolutional Neural Networks
No full textMy thesis proposes the use of convolutional neural networks for automatic detection of archaeological features in satellite imagery. Cultural heritage sites require constant management, and archaeologists are increasingly turning to satellite imagery to identify and monitor sites from afar. Given the huge amount of visual information present in these images and the amount of time it takes to do this job with the human eye, I propose a different approach for identifying and mapping archaeological features: using computer vision, specifically an algorithm called a convolutional neural network, or CNN. By training a CNN on a labeled set of hundreds of the same class of archaeological features in a landscape, the CNN can learn to identify new instances of the same class of features in previously unseen satellite imagery. This approach reduces the amount of labor required by analog approaches to feature extraction or traditional survey, and allows archaeologists to more swiftly identify and therefore protect areas of cultural significance. My research on CNNs in other fields and inroads made on a proof-of-concept CNN to identify archaeological features demonstrate the feasibility of using this type of algorithm to automatically detect archaeological features in satellite imagery
