THE EFFECT OF GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS ON ACREAGE RESPONSE OVER TIME: THE CASE OF CORN PRODUCTION IN IOWA
Corn acreage response in Iowa is examined using a time-varying parameter regression model. Separate estimates of the permanent portion of the parameter vector are obtained for each year over the period 1957-82. The estimated elasticities are grouped into “program” and “nonprogram” periods. The results indicate corn acreage response is more own-price elastics, and the elasticity is less variable under government acreage control programs than under a “nonprogram” regime. The assumption of parameter constancy is shown to be inappropriate for modeling Iowa corn acreage response over time.Agricultural and Food Policy, Crop Production/Industries,
Adaptive Mann iterations for nonlinear accretive and pseudocontractive operator equations
We construct adaptive Mann iterations for finding fixed points of strongly pseudocontractive mappings and solving nonlinear strongly accretive (not necessary continuous) operator equation Sx = f in p-smooth Banach spaces
Comment on "Fermionic entanglement ambiguity in noninertial frames"
In this comment we show that the ambiguity of entropic quantities calculated
in Physical Review A 83, 062323 (2011) for fermionic fields in the context of
Unruh effect is not related to the properties of anticommuting fields, as
claimed in Physical Review A 83, 062323 (2011), but rather to wrong
mathematical manipulations with them and not taking into account a fundamental
superselection rule of quantum field theory.Comment: To appear in Physical Review A. Some of the problems discussed in
this comment can also be found in other previously published papers studying
the Unruh effect for fermions (in the context of quantum information theory).

UPC++ v1.0 Programmer’s Guide, Revision 2020.3.0
UPC++ is a C++11 library that provides Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) programming. It is designed for writing parallel programs that run efficiently and scale well on distributed-memory parallel computers. The PGAS model is single program, multiple-data (SPMD), with each separate constituent process having access to local memory as it would in C++. However, PGAS also provides access to a global address space, which is allocated in shared segments that are distributed over the processes. UPC++ provides numerous methods for accessing and using global memory. In UPC++, all operations that access remote memory are explicit, which encourages programmers to be aware of the cost of communication and data movement. Moreover, all remote-memory access operations are by default asynchronous, to enable programmers to write code that scales well even on hundreds of thousands of cores
