Tax revenue and innovations in natural gas supply: New Mexico

This paper develops an econometric model of natural gas supply at the state-level using New Mexico as a case study. The supply model is estimated using annual time series observations on production levels, delivered prices, proved reserves, existing wells, and extraction costs. The authors validate the model against historical data and then use it to consider the fiscal impacts on state tax revenue from innovations in extraction technologies

A systematic study of spin-dependent recombination in GaAs1−x_{1-x}Nx_x as a function of nitrogen content

A systematic study of spin-dependent recombination (SDR) under steady-state optical pumping conditions in dilute nitride semiconductors as a function of nitrogen content is reported. The alloy content is determined by a fit of the photoluminescence (PL) intensity using a Roosbroeck-Shockley relation and verified by a study of the GaN-like LO$_2$ phonon peak in a Raman spectroscopy map. PL spectra taken from alloys of the form GaAs$_{1-x}$N$_x$ where $0.022 < x < 0.036$ exhibit PL intensity increases when switching from a linearly- to a circularly-polarized pump up to a factor of 5 for $x = 0.022$. This work used a 1.39 eV laser with a radius of 0.6 $\mu$m. The observed SDR ratio monotonically decreases with increasing $x$, reaching 1.5 for $x = 0.036$. Moreover, the excitation power required to obtain maximum SDR systematically increases with increasing $x$, varying from 0.6 mW for $x = 0.022$ to 15 mW for $x = 0.036$. These observations are consistent with an increase in the density of electronically active defects with increasing nitrogen content, both those responsible for the SDR as well as other, standard Shockley-Read-Hall (SRH) centers.Comment: 11 pages, 5 figures; work presented at the International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, Sydney, 202

Evaluation of dietary supplementation of a novel microbial muramidase on gastrointestinal functionality and growth performance in broiler chickens

This study was conducted to assess the effect of dietary supplementation of Muramidase 007 to broiler chickens on gastrointestinal functionality, evaluating growth performance, apparent ileal digestibility, intestinal histomorphology, vitamin A in plasma and cecal microbiota. A total of 480 one-day male chicks (Ross 308) were distributed in 16 pens allocated in 2 experimental diets: the control diet (CTR) without feed enzymes, coccidiostat or growth promoters, and the experimental diet (MUR): CTR supplemented with 35,000 units (LSU(F))/kg of the Muramidase 007. Digesta and tissue samples were obtained on days 9 and 36 of the study. A lower feed conversion ratio was observed in the MUR treatment. Apparent ileal digestibility of DM, organic matter and energy were improved by Muramidase 007. It was also observed that MUR improved digestibility of total fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acids and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, and content of vitamin A in plasma at day 9 (P < 0.05). Histomorphological analysis of jejunum samples revealed no differences in the villus height or crypt depth; but a higher number of goblet cells and intraepithelial lymphocytes at day 36 with MUR. No differences were observed in plate counts of enterobacteria or Lactobacillus along the gastrointestinal tract, neither on the cecal short-chain fatty acids. An statistical trend was observed for reduction of cecal clostridia at day 9 for MUR. Analysis of cecal microbiota structure by 16S rRNA gene sequencing revealed relevant changes correlated to age. At day 9, broilers receiving MUR showed decreased alpha diversity compared to CTR that was not detected at day 36. Changes in specific taxonomic groups with an increase in Lactobacillus genus were identified. In conclusion, evaluation of the variables in this study indicates that dietary Muramidase 007 contributes to improve feed conversation ratio and gastrointestinal function in broiler chickens. Effects could have been mediated by slight shifts observed in the intestinal microbiota. More studies are guaranteed to fully understand the mechanisms involved.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Socioeconomic effects of power marketing alternatives for the Central Valley and Washoe Projects: 2005 regional econmic impact analysis using IMPLAN

The Western Area Power Administration (Western) was founded by the Department of Energy Organization Act of 1977 to market and transmit federal hydroelectric power in 15 western states outside the Pacific Northwest, which is served by the Bonneville Power Administration. Western is divided into four independent Customer Service Regions including the Sierra Nevada Region (Sierra Nevada), the focus of this report. The Central Valley Project (CVP) and the Washoe Project provide the primary power resources marketed by Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada also purchases and markets power generated by the Bonneville Power Administration, Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E), and various power pools. Sierra Nevada currently markets approximately 1,480 megawatts of power to 77 customers in northern and central California. These customers include investor-owned utilities, public utilities, government agencies, military bases, and irrigation districts. Methods and conclusions from an economic analysis are summarized concerning distributional effects of alternative actions that Sierra Nevada could take with it`s new marketing plan
