Analyzing the effects of U.S. agricultural policy on Mexican agricultural markets using the MEXAGMKTS model
No full textThis paper uses results from simulations of the FAIRMODEL, USAGMKTS, and MEXAGMKTS models to analyze the effects of changes in U.S. agricultural policy on Mexican agricultural markets. The author concludes that under a scenario of trade liberalization for Mexico, Mexican agricultural production, prices, and trade are quite sensitive to agricultural policy changes in the U.S. The genesis of the research project was the perception that agricultural policies in Mexico (and many other countries) are often second best responses to the negative side effects of broad economic policies aimed primarily at macroeconomic and international trade objectives. The paper also discusses the role of agriculture in Mexican economic policy, and MEXAGMKTS, FAIR and USAGMKTS models. The paper includes an analysis of the sensitivity of Mexican agricultural markets to U.S. agricultural policy and a brief summary of the implications of the results.Environmental Economics&Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Agricultural Research,Access to Markets,Markets and Market Access
Inviscid disturbance dynamics in barotropic shear flows
No full textJune 1994.Also issued as Gerald B. Smith's thesis (M.S.) -- Colorado State University, 1994.The inviscid nature of disturbance evolution in shear flows is investigated as an initial-value problem within the framework of nondivergent vorticity dynamics. To ensure a basic understanding of physical processes, disturbance evolution is first considered in a rectilinear system of simple shear. Particular emphasis is placed on identifying how the disturbance evolution depends on the zonal wavenumber and on the meridional structure of the initial conditions. Insight acquired from the rectilinear problem is then applied to a bounded Rankine vortex. Here, the dependency of disturbance evolution on the azimuthal wavenumber is of special interest. Recent development of a low-frequency balance theory for rapidly rotating vortices has provided observational evidence that the low azimuthal wavenumber asymmetries, especially wavenumber one, are dominant in the near-vortex region. The results of this work provide further theoretical evidence of an inviscid wave number selection mechanism that preferentially damps the higher wavenumber asymmetries. The radial structure and location of the initial conditions are found to be critical factors in determining how rapidly a disturbance is compressed or elongated. This in turn controls the rate of disturbance growth or decay. For swirling flows, a definition of an effective shear that accounts for both the radial variations in the initial conditions as well as the radial variation in the angular velocity is proposed. Using the reciprocal of this effective shear, time scales for a disturbance to decay to half its initial energy, the half-life time, are calculated for initial conditions and symmetric wind profiles that are found in hurricanes. Simple shear flow and the bounded Rankine vortex do not admit discrete modal solutions since there is no mean state vorticity gradient to support them. The unbounded Rankine vortex is briefly considered in order to investigate how the presence of discrete neutral modes modifies the nonmodal solutions presented in this work.Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research grant ONR N00014-93-1-0456, and the National Science Foundation grant NSF ATM-9312655
Organizational improvements in the B-2A human factors engineering branch
No full textThis paper documents four specific organizational changes made by the author and the branch chief in the B-2 Human Factors engineering division between April 1994 and August 1994 in an attempt to improve the group's performance and effectiveness. The group's goal and mission were first redefined so individuals could focus on work that supported the attainment of these goals. The group's organizational structure was altered to include new lines of authority and clearer work responsibilities. A measurement system was also developed to lay the foundation for future productivity improvement and to help define the group's critical processes. Finally, a computerized optimization scheme was created to help prioritize human factors deficiencies on the B- 2 aircraft using a combination of workload techniques and linear programming. Improvement results from these four actions are also presented.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 58)California State University, Northridge. Department of Engineering
Das Phantom in der deutschsprachigen Weltliteratur – der Schriftsteller B. Traven
No full textThis contribution pays tribute to the German-Mexican author B. Traven, as one of the most read novelists in the German language in the middle of the 20th century. B. Traven became known for his novels and stories, which are adventurous and set in exotic surroundings, though primarily intended to express criticism of capitalism and social conditions. Most of his works were filmed in Mexico, the USA and Germany. The American fictional film based on one of his most famous books “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” won several Academy Awards (Oscars). At the peak of his creative power, a Swedish daily newspaper proposed B. Traven for the Nobel Prize for Literature. B. Traven successfully concealed the identity of his person through the use of numerous pseudonyms. For decades, German linguists and journalists have been looking for the person behind the pseudonym B. Traven. Pursuant to available data it is certain that he worked under the name Ret Marut in Germany as a labor union secretary and left-wing, revolutionary activist before emigrating to Mexico. Because of this, people from the working class, sailors, Native Americans (Indians) and other oppressed members of the society who oppose their exploitation played key roles in his works. In the meantime, several researchers assume that B. Traven was born as Hermann Albert Otto Maximilian Feige in Schwiebus, now Poland. For B. Traven, however, the impact of his works was always more important than his identity
