Removing Barriers to Facilitate Efficient Water Markets in the Murray Darling Basin – A Case Study from Australia
No full textWater markets have been seen as an effective way of addressing water scarcity and allocation issues. In this paper we discuss the role and characteristics of water markets in facilitating efficient water allocation. Administrative, regulatory and/or political barriers to effective functioning of water markets are reviewed with a focus on southern Murray-Darling Basin in Australia. A mathematical model is developed to estimate the costs of existing restrictions and the benefits from potential changes in the water markets (eg. removing barriers in temporary water market). The modelling results reveal that when expanding trade from intraregional only to interregional trade, mean annual net returns increased from 2,590 million (i.e. an increase of 2,590 million to 17 million). The exclusion of any state from the interstate water trading market imposes significant costs. If South Australia, New South Wales or Victoria withdraws from the market, it reduces net returns by 31 million and $63 million, respectively, from water trading. In conclusion, the policy implications on strategies to removing market barriers are outlined to facilitate efficient and effective water trading.market barrier, opportunity cost, temporary water market, efficient water market, Australia

Isogeometric analysis for multi-patch structured Kirchhoff–Love shells
No full textWe present an isogeometric method for Kirchhoff–Love shell analysis of shell structures with geometries composed of multiple patches and which possibly possess extraordinary vertices, i.e. vertices with a valency different to four. The proposed isogeometric shell discretisation is based on the one hand on the approximation of the mid-surface by a particular class of multi-patch surfaces, called analysis-suitable G1 (Collin et al., 2016), and on the other hand on the use of the globally C1-smooth isogeometric multi-patch spline space (Farahat et al., 2023). We use our developed technique within an isogeometric Kirchhoff–Love shell formulation (Kiendl et al., 2009) to study linear and non-linear shell problems on multi-patch structures. Thereby, the numerical results show the great potential of our method for efficient shell analysis of geometrically complex multi-patch structures which cannot be modelled without the use of extraordinary vertices.Funding Information: The authors wish to thank the anonymous reviewers for their comments that helped to improve the paper.

Samuel H.M. Byers; Poet; Author; Diplomat; Oskaloosa; Iowa; Mahaska County; Iowa
No full textThis is a photograph taken of Samuel H.M. Byers at the onset of the Civil War in 1861. Byers served in the Union Army during the Civil War and gained a great deal of inspiration for his poetic writing during the war. Byers's most famous work is a poem entitled "Sherman's March to the Sea" recapping events that took place during this famous piece of American history. Byers is also credited with writing the state song of Iowa, played to the melody of "O, Christmas Tree". After gaining fame and fortune from his writing, Byers pursued a career in diplomacy, serving in the U.S. Consulate in Switzerland and Italy. Byers then came back to the U.S., living out the remainder of his days in Los Angeles, California. Byers died in 1933, at the age 95

Population differences in immune responses to Bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination in infancy.
No full textBacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination induces a marked increase in the interferon (IFN)-gamma response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis purified protein derivative (Mtb PPD) in UK adolescents, but not in Malawian adolescents. We hypothesized that Mtb PPD-induced IFN-gamma after BCG vaccination would be similar in infants from these 2 countries. Infants were vaccinated with BCG during the first 3-13 weeks of life. Three months after BCG vaccination, 51 (100%) of 51 UK infants had an IFN-gamma response to Mtb PPD, compared to 41 (53%) of 78 of Malawian infants, in whom responses varied according to their season of birth. We conclude that population differences in immune responses after BCG vaccination are observed among infants, as well as among young adults
