Dynamics of non-equilibrium membrane bud formation
The dynamical response of a lipid membrane to a local perturbation of its
molecular symmetry is investigated theoretically. A density asymmetry between
the two membrane leaflets is predominantly released by in-plane lipid diffusion
or membrane curvature, depending upon the spatial extent of the perturbation.
It may result in the formation of non-equilibrium structures (buds), for which
a dynamical size selection is observed. A preferred size in the micrometer
range is predicted, as a signature of the crossover between membrane and
solvent dominated dynamical membrane response.Comment: 7 pages 3 figure

The Economic Impact of Intensive Commodity Price Risk Management Education
Research shows that risk management, and in particular price risk management, has been a major concern for agricultural producers, and as such, has been the target area of a substantial amount of Extension education programming. Analysis of survey results indicate that the Master Marketer program, a 64-hour intensive training program that develops master volunteers who extend the education through marketing clubs, is a valuable Extension program helping producers to better-manage price and production risks. On average, graduates of the program have increased their net income by more than $33,000 annually
