Salt comment not correct
No full textLetter submitted by S.T. Smith, deputy Director of Agriculture addressing a story by Bob Burnett, 'Conflict on salt land reclamation intensifies' (The Countryman, November 23), which in his view was a well compiled article.
This article discusses the constructive presentation was clear and without prejudice, however one small paragraph requires comment as it is far from the truth.
The paragraph in question says that "a WISALTS member also claimed the problem of salt land treatment is hydrological and as the department had no hydrologists working on it, farmers' opinions were equally valid as those of the scientists'.
Mr. Smith says that this statement is untrue as the problem was identified as being hydrological as far back as 1924.

Bayesian mortality forecasting with overdispersion
No full textThe ability to produce accurate mortality forecasts, accompanied by a set of representative uncertainty bands, is crucial in the planning of public retirement funds and various life-related businesses. In this paper, we focus on one of the drawbacks of the Poisson Lee–Carter model (Brouhns et al., 2002) that imposes mean–variance equality, restricting mortality variations across individuals. Specifically, we present two models to potentially account for overdispersion. We propose to fit these models within the Bayesian framework for various advantages, but primarily for coherency. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are implemented to carry out parameter estimation. Several comparisons are made with the Bayesian Poisson Lee–Carter model (Czado et al., 2005) to highlight the importance of accounting for overdispersion. We demonstrate that the methodology we developed prevents over-fitting and yields better calibrated prediction intervals for the purpose of mortality projections. Bridge sampling is used to approximate the marginal likelihood of each candidate model to compare the models quantitatively
Biometría comparativa de las fibras de la madera de Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith, Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake y Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. Var - Satipo
No full textEl trabajo de investigación se realizó en el laboratorio de Tecnología de la Madera de la Facultad de Ciencias Forestales y del Ambiente de la Universidad Nacional del Centro del Perú. El problema en estudio fue cuál de las especies de Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith, Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake y Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. Var. presentan mejores características biométricas con aptitud papelera en Satipo, teniendo como posible respuesta que el Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh. Var presenta las mejores características biométricas con aptitud papelera en comparación al Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith, Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake., para lo cual se planteó el objetivo de determinar las características biométricas de las fibras con fines de producción de pulpa para papel. Las muestras fueron extraídas de la plantación de eucalipto con una edad de 24 años, ubicada en el distrito de Río Negro. Nueve muestras (tarugos) de Eucalyptus tereticornis Smith; ocho de Eucalyptus urophylla S.T. Blake y ocho de Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehn. Var, fueron maceradas y estas fibras se observaron en microscopio y se determinó las características biométricas y se clasificó de acuerdo a la aptitud papelera de cada especie según el factor de Runkel. La longitud de fibra, diámetro de fibra, diámetro de lumen y espesor de pared de la fibra de la población de donde provienen las muestras, se estima como sigue a continuacion: Eucalyptus tereticornis entre los intervalos 1113,15 – 1155,85; 15,45 – 16,25; 5,00 – 5,60 y 5,14 – 5,49, Eucalyptus urophylla 1204,53 – 1243,08; 19,49 – 20,50; 8,23 – 9,16 y 5,43 – 5,86 y Eucalyptus camaldulensis 1109,15 – 1145,43; 17,32 – 18,19; 7,48 – 8,29 y 5,07 – 5,08 micras respectivamente. Según el factor Runkel las especies Eucalyptus camaldulensis y Eucalyptus urophylla fueron clasificadas como fibras cortas, regularmente apta para papel de impresión y el Eucalyptus tereticornis clasificada como fibras cortas no apta para papel con características de madera pesada, lumen muy angosto, y fibras de paredes muy gruesas.Tesi
