The Potential For Marketing Pork Products With Embedded Environmental Attributes: Results From An Experimental Study, Sean P. Hurley, James B. Kliebenstein

Agribusiness

Environmental issues such as air and water quality related to livestock production currently receive much attention. Potential methods for environmental improvement range from regulation to market solutions. This study looks at consumer willingness to pay for pork products with embedded environmental attributes. Experimental auctions showed that over one-half of the participants (62%) paid a premium, that did not vary significantly between differing regions of the United States. (JEL Codes Q13, Q25)

Network Modeling Of The Convective Flow And Diffusion Of Molecules Adsorbing In Monoliths And In Porous Particles Packed In A Chromatographic Column, J. J. Meyers, Athanasios I. Liapis

Chemical and Biochemical Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works

A cubic lattice network of interconnected pores was constructed to represent the porous structure existing in a monolith (continuous bed) or in a column packed with porous chromatographic particles. Expressions were also constructed and utilized to simulate, through the use of the pore network model, the intraparticle interstitial velocity and pore diffusivity of adsorbate molecules in porous chromatographic particles or in monoliths under retained and unretained conditions. The combined effects of steric hindrance at the entrance to the pores and frictional resistance within the pores, as well as the effects of pore size, pore connectivity, n(T), of the porous network, …

1H Nmr Studies On The Cua Center Of Nitrous Oxide Reductase From Pseudomonas Stutzeri, Richard C. Holz, Marcela L. Alvarez, Walter G. Zumft, David M. Dooley

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

¹H NMR spectra of the Cu_A center of N₂OR from Pseudomonas stutzeri, and a mutant enzyme that contains only Cu_A, were recorded in both H₂O- and D₂O-buffered solution at pH 7.5. Several sharp, well-resolved hyperfine-shifted ¹H NMR signals were observed in the 60 to −10 ppm chemical shift range. Comparison of the native and mutant N₂OR spectra recorded in H₂O-buffered solutions indicated that several additional signals are present in the native protein spectrum. These signals are attributed to a dinuclear copper(II) center. At least …

The Methionyl Aminopeptidase From Escherichia Coli Can Function As An Iron(Ii) Enzyme, Ventris M. D'Souza, Richard C. Holz

Chemistry Faculty Research and Publications

The identity of the physiologically relevant metal ions for the methionyl aminopeptidase (MetAP) from Escherichia coli was investigated and is suggested to be Fe(II). The metal content of whole cells in the absence and presence of expression of the type I MetAP from E. coli was determined by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission analysis. The observed change in whole cell concentrations of cobalt, cadmium, copper, nickel, strontium, titanium, and vanadium upon expression of MetAP was negligible. On the other hand, significant increases in the cellular metal ion concentrations of chromium, zinc, manganese, and iron were observed with the increase in …

Kenneth Bloom Publications

A trigger track processor is being designed for the CDF upgrade. This processor identifies high momentum (P_T > 1.5 GeV/c) charged tracks in the new central outer tracking chamber for CDF 11. The track processor is called the extremely Fast Tracker (XFT). The XFT design is highly parallel to handle the input rate of 183 Gbits/sec and output rate of 44 Gbitslsec. The processor is pipelined and reports the results for a new event every 132 ns. The processor uses three stages, hit classification, segment finding, and segment linking. The pattern recognition algorithms for the three stages are implemented …

Some Notions Of Complex Adaptive Systems And Their Relationship To Our World, Jens G. Pohl

Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center

This paper assumes that the world we live in consists of many interwoven complex adaptive systems. In the literature such systems are characterized as comprising many moving parts and processes that interact significantly in a mostly non-linear manner. It is argued that the forces that act on such complex systems are not additive, and that their impact occurs along non-linear interactions within the system. In particular, many of these systems are adaptive in that they change their behavior (through their interactions) over time, so that if they are subjected to a similar force or event a second time they …

The Second Generation Integrated Collaborative Decision Making (Icdm) Model: A Three-Tier Approach To Agent-Based, Decision-Support Systems, Kym J. Pohl, Jens G. Pohl

Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center

Ten years ago the CAD Research Center at California Polytechnic University in San Luis Obispo, California identified a standard framework for agent-based, decision support systems. Employing inter-process and inference engine technologies of the time, the CAD Research Center termed this ‘blueprint’ the Integrated Collaborative Decision-Making (ICDM) framework. Over the past twelve years ICDM has been successfully used as a foundation in several systems. These systems focus on a wide range of domains of application including architectural design and ship cargo stowage. Success of the ICDM framework in conjunction with the availability of newer technologies has prompted an evolutionary leap in …

Re-Engineering A Software Development Organization As A Complex Adaptive System, Steven J. Gollery, Jens G. Pohl

Collaborative Agent Design (CAD) Research Center

This paper proposes that it is possible and desirable to restructure a software development organization as a complex adaptive system. Such a structure would increase the possibility that the organization would be able to survive and prosper in a rapidly-changing market place by shortening response time, increasing flexibility in the face of new and unexpected circumstances, and allowing the organization to learn quickly from its experiences.

The paper shows how a common information repository can be used to provide decision support to developers and managers, and discusses the relationship between decision support systems and complex adaptive systems.

Is Hyperconjugation Responsible For The "Gauche Effect" In 1-Fluoropropane And Other 2-Substituted-1-Fluoroethanes?, Paul R. Rablen, R. W. Hoffman, D. A. Hrovat, W. T. Borden

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Works

The energies and geometries of a series of 2-substituted-1-fluoroethanes were computed at the MP2/6-311++G**(6D)//MP2/6-31+G* level of theory for both the maxima and minima of the rotation about the C-C bond. The results did not support the predictions of a hyperconjugative model, that both 1,2-difluoroethane and 1-chloro-2-fluoroethane would strongly prefer a gauche conformation, and that 1-fluoro-2-silylethane would strongly prefer an anti conformation. The existence of competing electrostatic interactions between the fluorine and the substituents at C-2 was indicated by the detailed geometries of the gauche conformers and by the calculated sensitivity of the gauche-anti energy differences to the presence of a …

Openness And Monotoneity Of Induced Mappings, W. J. Charatonik

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Research & Creative Works

It is shown that for locally connected continuum X if the induced mapping C(f) : C(X) ->C(Y) is open, then f is monotone. As a corollary it follows that if the continuum X is hereditarily locally connected and C(f) is open, then f is a homeomorphism. An example is given to show that local connectedness is essential in the result.
