Investing in People: Assessing the Economic Benefits of 1890 Institutions

The report examines the historical USDA funding levels of 1890 institutions; discusses the outcomes of these investments and potential measurable indicators of these outcomes; and outlines a conceptual model for estimating returns to investment in education tailored to particularities of the 1890's.1890s, land grant universities, human capital, extension service, agricultural research, research funding, Labor and Human Capital, Teaching/Communication/Extension/Profession,

DOES EXTENSION WORK? IMPACTS OF A PROGRAM TO ASSIST LIMITED-RESOURCE FARMERS IN VIRGINIA

Qualitative evidence suggests that 1890 institutions play a significant role in delivering extension information to limited-resource, particularly minority, farmers. However, there is little empirical evidence of economic impacts of public investments in 1890 extension programs. This paper quantifies the economic impacts of the 2501 extension program for limited resource farmers in Virginia

Stability Analysis of Caputo Fractional Order Viral Dynamics of Hepatitis B Cellular Infection

We present a Caputo fractional order mathematical model that describes the cellular infection of the Hepatitis B virus and the immune response of the body with Holling type II functional response. We study the existence of unique positive solutions and the local and global stability of virus-free and endemic equilibria. Finally, we present numerical results using the Adam-type predictor–corrector iterative scheme
