Certified/Trained Birth Doulas Impact for Successful Breastfeeding Rates for Women of Color In North Carolina

The purpose of this literature review is to determine the impact Certified/Trained Birth Doulas (CTBD) can have for impacting successful breastfeeding rates for women of color in North Carolina. We want to collect data from surveys completed by CTBD and the expecting mothers they worked with. We want to determine the impact a CTBD has on continuation and/or extended duration for breastfeeding women. We want to identify breastfeeding support being offered to impact higher rates

An Evaluation of Tennessee Soybean Growers’ Views on a New Generation Cooperative to Produce Biodiesel

Substituting petroleum diesel with biodiesel could decrease air emissions, reduce reliance on foreign oil, and help expand markets for U.S. farmers. Soybean producers can potentially capture this value-added by forward integrating the processing of soybeans into biodiesel via a New Generation Cooperative (NGC). Using probit analysis, this study examines factors influencing soybean producers’ willingness to participate in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Tobit analysis is used to examine the factors influencing the number of shares the soybean producer would be willing to purchase. Survey results indicate that over 70% of the soybean producers in the study group are interested in investing in an NGC to produce biodiesel. Among those producers willing to participate, the average number of shares they would purchase was just under 3,460.biodiesel, New Generation Cooperative, probit analysis, soybean producers, tobit analysis, Marketing, Research Methods/ Statistical Methods,

CONSUMER PREFERENCES FOR ELECTRICITY FROM BIOENERGY AND OTHER RENEWABLES

This study ascertains residential electricity consumers' support and willingness to pay for electricity from renewable sources. Then, willingness to pay for specified renewable energy sources (solar, wind, landfill wastes, bioenergy from fast growing crops, and bioenergy from forest products wastes). Effects of demographics and environmental behaviors are estimated.Institutional and Behavioral Economics,
