Damage measurements and reproductive outcomes following phenologic delay and floral freezing of a population of Prunus pumila plants
No full textThese files contain information gathered during and after a delayed phenology experiment in 2020 and a floral freezing experiment in 2021 using the same population of Prunus pumila plants. Data was collected on number of flowers, ovaries that swelled, mature fruits that developed, and seeds that germinated for each plant, as well as hand pollination and selfing results, pollinator visitation, floral and whole plant damage, and temperature conditions during flowering.There are advantages flowering early in the spring, which include greater pollinator fidelity and longer fruit maturation time. But plant phenology has advanced in recent years making many plants vulnerable to freezing damage from late frosts. To determine the costs and benefits of flowering early in the spring, we exposed Prunus pumila plants to two freezing treatments and a delayed flowering treatment in subsequent years. Data were collected on ovary swelling, fruit production and pollinator visitation on hand-and open-pollinated plants in all treatments. We also measured tissue damage after freeze events. Our results suggest that flowering time and temperature affect reproductive success, with fewer fruits produced after hard freezes. The same was not true for light freezes, which had minimal impact on reproduction. Freezing damage to plants after a hard freeze did affect the number of Dipteran pollinators but not the overall pollinator visitation rate. Despite the clear impact of freezing temperatures on plant reproduction, there were also advantages for flowering early as reproductive output decreased during with delayed flowering. Our findings suggest that Prunus pumila will retain the ability to attract pollinators and produce viable seeds if exposed to false spring conditions that involve a light freeze, but hard freezes may reduce yield by an order of magnitude. Although the advantages to flowering early may outweigh the risk of freezing damage under current conditions, it is possible that flower viability may be constrained under continued climate warming.National Science Foundation (Savage, IOS 1656318)University of Minnesota Diversity of Views Fellowship (Lake Diver)University of Minnesota Integrated Biosciences graduate program (Lake Diver)University of Minnesota grant-in-aid program, provided by the office of Vice President of Research (Savage)Lake Diver, Danielle A; Savage, Jessica A.

An additively separable representation in the Savage framework
No full textThis paper elicits an additively separable representation of preferences in the Savage framework (where the objects of choice are acts: measurable functions from an infinite set of states to a potentially finite set of consequences). A preference relation over acts is represented by the integral over the subset of the product of the state space and the consequence space which corresponds to the act, where this integral is calculated with respect to a “state-dependent utility” measure on this space. The result applies at the stage prior to the separation of probabilities and utilities, and requires neither Savage’s P3 (monotonicity) nor his P4 (likelihood ordering). It may thus prove useful for the development of state-dependent utility representation theorems in the Savage framework.Expected utility; additive representation; state-dependent utility; monotonicity
Some economic and social aspects of residential internet use in Australia
No full textThis study constructs a profile of the representative Australian residential Internet user from data obtained from a web-based survey. Survey data indicate the representative user is male, 20 to 40 years of age, highly educated, uses the Internet 8 hrs per week for e-mail and FTP, and has a monthly bill of AUD32. Anordered-logit model relates Internet use to price, sociodemographic and connection capacity variables. Model estimates show the probability of higher Internet use is greater for middle-income households, but declines with age of the user. Policy may be required to enhance access to lower-income groups, and to inform the elderly of the potential capabilities of the new technology. Further, model estimates suggest that Australian Internet subscribers prefer flat-rate pricing (or a combination of flat-rate and usagesensitive pricing) over usage-sensitive pricing schemes. This result is consistent with Australian consumer attitudes toward local telephone and mobile cellular pricing.Residential internet use in Australia, economic and social aspects
Troy D. Savage Letter, MSS.3083
No full textAbstract: A letter from Troy D. Savage of Lexington, Kentucky to Charles Shanks in Honolulu, Hawaii about Mrs. Shanks' suit for divorce.Scope and Content Note: This collection contains a letter from Troy D. Savage, an attorney of Lexington, Kentucky, to Charles Shanks, a U.S. Army soldier stationed in Honolulu, Hawaii. Savage, representing Mrs. Shanks in her suit for divorce, requesting the payment of certain bills directly to her in lieu of any alimony. If Shanks declines to do this, Savage warns him that, because he made a fraudulent claim that he was single at the time of his enlistment, he could be "kicked out of the Army or forced to make your wife a substantial allotment from your [Army] salary."Biographical/Historical Note: In 1940, Troy D. Savage was an attorney in Lexington, Kentucky
