Incentive Payment Programs for Environmental Protection: A Framework for Eliciting and Estimating Landowners' Willingness to Participate
No full textThis paper considers the role of incentive payment programs in eliciting, estimating, and predicting landowners’ conservation enrollments. Using both program participation and the amount of land enrolled, we develop two econometric approaches for predicting enrollments. The first is a multivariate censored regression model that handles zero enrollments and heterogeneity in the opportunity cost of enrollments by combining an inverse hyperbolic sine transformation of enrollments with alternative-specific correlation and random parameters. The second is a beta-binomial model, which recognizes that in practice elicited enrollments are essentially integer valued. We apply these approaches to Finland, where the protection of private nonindustrial forests is an important environmental policy problem. We compare both econometric approaches via cross-validation and find that the beta-binomial model predicts as well as the multivariate censored model yet has fewer parameters. The beta-binomial model also facilitates policy predictions and simulations, which we use to illustrate the framework.protection, endangered, voluntary, incentive, tobit, beta-binomial, stated preferences

Past National Mobilisation Insights: Supply Chains, the People and Supporting Great Power Allies (Working paper)
No full textIn this multi-author edition of the Centre of Gravity series, four leading thinkers explore issues and opportunities of mobilisation in Australia.
Peter Layton explores recent history to argue that Australian defence strategies, and accordingly the ADF’s force structure, need to be designed cognizant of national mobilisation possibilities in Past National Mobilisation Insights: Supply Chains, the People and Supporting Great Power Allies.
Zach Lambert highlights that deliberate foreplaning, especially in concert with the Unites States and South Pacific, can improve Australian mobilisation and sustainment capacity in mutually beneficial ways in Break in Case of War – the Australian/United States Alliance and the Argument for Military Scaling.
Nathan K. Finney argues that that to determine gaps in force structure and capabilities for expansion, a more robust discussion and analysis must occur, including re-establishing scalability as a core tenant of defence policy in Preventing a Glass Cannon: Increasing the Flexibility and Stamina of the Australian Army.
Chris Barrie necessitates a national debate on the nature, form, requirements and incentives for a universal service scheme in AUSS+IE – Why Australia needs a universal service scheme.Full Tex
Life sketch of James Dickinson
No full textTypescript of a biographical sketch of James Dickinson, from an interview with a daughter, Mrs. Maria D. Shakespear. He was born in England in 1828, and came to Utah in 1850. He lived at Salt Lake City and Las Vegas (Nevada) before he settled at Santa Clara in 1862. Later he lived and died at Panguitch. Typed by Layton J. Ott of Henrieville in 193
Photoadaptation of the skin during exposure to narrowband ultraviolet b radiation
No full textThe aim of this study is to determine the rate at which UVB radiation takes effect in order to produce an effective regimen for treatment. Psoriasis, a chronic, proliferative, inflammatory disease that is under genetic and environmental control is the major condition where UVB radiation successfully reduces symptoms. The treatment regimen for at present involves exposure doses that are increased alogarithmically and is based upon previous broadband knowledge. No established protocol for TLOl UVB phototherapy exists. Patients were randomly chosen from Dryburn Hospital Phototherapy Department. Baseline minimal erythemal measurements were calculated (MED(_0)) and random measurements were taken during the course using a single TLOl lamp. Data was collected over a period of 1 year and the effects of photoadaptation were determined. Factors considered include the period of time in between treatments, the number of treatments already attended and cumulative doses. MED ratios were calculated and analysed to produce a skin adaptation model. The majority of patients were phototested 2-6 times during the treatment course, which lasted 6 weeks (mean). Results indicated that missing a treatment session was insignificant to the rate of tolerance. The model for tolerance was calculated to be: T(_n) = 1 + 3 [1 - exp (= 0.03n) ] n = tolerance following n treatments A revised protocol was established and a clinical trial implemented. Protocol results indicated that the new regimen significantly reduced cases of burning and significantly reduced the cumulative doses of radiation. Revised protocol patients (yellow group) received total doses of 12.7 J/cm(^2) (median) and the original regimen provided a total of 16.9 J/cm(^2) (median). There was no significance in the time length of the treatment protocols. The revised protocol is therefore significantly more suitable because it reduces chances of excessive erythema discomfort and by reducing the radiation exposure doses the regimen also reduces the risk of skin malignancies
Crisp snapshots and fuzzy trends.
No full textDiscusses ways in which human agency revealed in archaeological moments such as tool-making at Boxgrove or dietary remains from a buried NW Coast native American village can be integrated nto the study of long term adaptive or social evolutionary trends. The compatibility of agency theory proposed by Giddens and Bourdieu with neo-Darwinian theory is assessed
