RESULTS OF THE NORTH DAKOTA LAND VALUATION MODEL FOR THE 2004 AGRICULTURAL REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT
Full text linkThis report summarizes the 2004 results of the North Dakota Land Valuation Model. This model is used annually to estimate average land values by county, based on the value of production from cropland and non-cropland. The county land values developed from this procedure form the basis for the 2004 valuation of agricultural land for real estate tax assessment. The average all land value from this analysis is multiplied by the total acres of agricultural land on the county abstract to determine each county's total agricultural land value for taxation purposes. The State Board of Equalization compares this value with the total value assessed to agricultural property in each county. Each county is required by state statute to assess a total value of agricultural property within 5 percent of this value. The average value per acre of all agricultural land in North Dakota decreased by 0.66 percent based on the value of production analysis. Cropland value declined by 0.32 percent and non-cropland value dropped by 2.58 percent. The formula capitalization rate was below the minimum set by the State Legislature; therefore, the minimum rate of 9.5 percent was used. Changes in market value are included for comparison. Market value data is from the annual County Rents and Values survey conducted by North Dakota Agricultural Statistics Service.Land valuation, real estate assessment, agricultural land, Land Economics/Use,

Domain adaptation for target classification using micro-Doppler spectra in radar networks
No full textIn this paper, the classification of human activity from micro-Doppler spectrograms measured by a radar network is considered. To cope with differences between the training and test datasets due to changes in the set of participants, signal-to-noise ratio and polarimetry, domain adaptation is proposed. To realize this, linear mapping between the two domains is assumed and estimated by one of two methods, expectation-maximization or empirical estimates of statistical moments. The performance of the methods is evaluated on experimental data measured by a multi-static radar network. The proposed methods increase the classification accuracy by 5–15 percentiles on the recorded dataset.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Microwave Sensing, Signals & System

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization.
Full text linkThe QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially lethal mendelian long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Using a genome-wide association and replication study in up to 100,000 individuals, we identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization. Rare variant analysis of 6 new QT interval-associated loci in 298 unrelated probands with LQTS identified coding variants not found in controls but of uncertain causality and therefore requiring validation. Several newly identified loci encode proteins that physically interact with other recognized repolarization proteins. Our integration of common variant association, expression and orthogonal protein-protein interaction screens provides new insights into cardiac electrophysiology and identifies new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias, LQTS and SCD

Order structure, multipliers, and Gelfand representation of vector-valued function algebras
Full text linkAbstractWe continue the study begun by the third author of -Segal algebra valued function algebras, with an emphasis on the order structure. Our main result is a characterization theorem for -Segal algebra valued function algebras with an order unitization. As an intermediate step, we establish a function algebraic description of the multiplier module of arbitrary Segal algebra valued function algebras. We also consider Gelfand representation of these algebras in the commutative case.Abstract
