Investigating the Potential of Fee-Based Recreation on Private Lands in the Lower Mississippi River Delta
Private landowners may be willing to allow public access for fee-based wildlife-associated recreation. A survey and econometric techniques are proposed to determine what characteristics may influence the probability to decide to offer recreation, what organizational form landowners may prefer to manage and market fee-based recreation, and how liability concerns and other possible disincentives collectively influence landowners' access decisions.wildlife-associated recreation, liability perceptions, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Range Separated Brueckner Coupled Cluster Doubles Theory
We introduce a range-separation approximation to coupled cluster doubles
(CCD) theory that successfully overcomes limitations of regular CCD when
applied to the uniform electron gas. We combine the short-range ladder channel
with the long-range ring channel in the presence of a Bruckner renormalized
one-body interaction and obtain ground-state energies with an accuracy of 0.001
a.u./electron across a wide range of density regimes. Our scheme is
particularly useful in the low-density and strongly-correlated regimes, where
regular CCD has serious drawbacks. Moreover, we cure the infamous
overcorrelation of approaches based on ring diagrams (i.e. the particle-hole
random phase approximation). Our energies are further shown to have appropriate
basis set and thermodynamic limit convergence, and overall this scheme promises
energetic properties for realistic periodic and extended systems which existing
methods do not possess.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figs. Now with supplementary info. Comments welcome:

Applying a Hybrid Methodology for Measuring the Economic Contribution of the Food and Fiber System to the Louisiana Economy (Bulletin #886)
This publication provides a new approach to identifying the economic contribution of agriculture to Louisiana. Both state- and parish-level contributions from food and fiber are included.https://digitalcommons.lsu.edu/agcenter_bulletins/1009/thumbnail.jp
Forestry in Louisiana - The Industrys Contribution to the Louisiana Economy: An Input-Output Analysis 2011 (Research Information Sheet #
Forest resources affect the economy at all levels, from wages and purchases in local economies to state-level payroll and income taxes. Therefore, there is widespread interest in effects of the forest products industry from local producers, landowners and multinational corporate entities and therefore political officials, as well. This study evaluates the importance of the forest products industry to the state’s economy.https://digitalcommons.lsu.edu/agcenter_researchinfosheets/1004/thumbnail.jp

The Role of Local Policies on Resource Utilization: Timber Harvesting in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana
Seemingly unrelated regression was used to investigate if the passage of forestry-related ordinances has had an effect upon timber harvesting activities in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. Results indicate that a significant negative relationship exists between a $10,000 road bond ordinance and the level of timber harvest in the Parish.Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
Coupled Cluster Channels in the Homogeneous Electron Gas
We discuss diagrammatic modifications to the coupled cluster doubles (CCD)
equations, wherein different groups of terms out of rings, ladders,
crossed-rings and mosaics can be removed to form approximations to the coupled
cluster method, of interest due to their similarity with various types of
random phase approximations. The finite uniform electron gas is benchmarked for
14- and 54-electron systems at the complete basis set limit over a wide density
range and performance of different flavours of CCD are determined. These
results confirm that rings generally overcorrelate and ladders generally
undercorrelate; mosaics-only CCD yields a result surprisingly close to CCD. We
use a recently developed numerical analysis [J. J. Shepherd and A. Gr\"uneis,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 110, 226401 (2013)] to study the behaviours of these methods
in the thermodynamic limit. We determine that the mosaics, on forming the
Brueckner Hamltonian, open a gap in the effective one-particle eigenvalues at
the Fermi energy. Numerical evidence is presented which shows that methods
based on this renormalisation have convergent energies in the thermodynamic
limit including mosaic-only CCD, which is just a renormalised MP2. All other
methods including only a single channel, namely ladder-only CCD, ring-only CCD
and crossed-ring-only CCD, appear to yield divergent energies; incorporation of
mosaic terms prevents this from happening.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Comments welcome: [email protected]
