Progress in the Analysis of Cosmic-Ray Observations (II)

One year ago the writer reported to this Academy the results of some preliminary calculations of the intensities of the three components assumed by Millikan to compose the cosmic radiation, based upon his last published data.1 At that time the Academy was so kind as to set apart a grant for a continuance of this research. Soon afterward, Dr. Millikan informed me that he was engaged upon a more elaborate series of depth-ionization measurements which promised greater precision, and extended the hope that the results would be available by fall. It was, however, not until February that the new data were received, and it was then found that the results would entail considerably more calculation than had been anticipated from the earlier set

A Descriptive Glossary of Physics

In 1933 I exhibited to the Physics Section of the Academy a crude collection of about 3,500 definitions of physical terms in card-index form, compiled for and used by the physics students of Coe College. The hope was then expressed that means might be found to promote the extension and eventual publication of this glossary

An Economic Assessment of the BSE Crisis in Canada: Impact of Border Closure and BSE Recovery Programs

This article assesses the economic consequences of three alternative government responses to the BSE crisis in Canada: 1) expansion in slaughter capacity; 2) partial destruction of the cattle herd; and 3) deficiency payments. Each of these policies is evaluated under four different border situations: 1) autarky; 2) free trade in young beef only; 3) free trade in young beef and cattle; and 4) complete free trade. The results of the policy analysis are quite sensitive to the border assumptions, making it impossible to select a “best†policy without perfect foresight with respect to the timing and the extent of the border opening.BSE, cattle and beef, partial equilibrium model, simulation, trade ban, International Relations/Trade, Livestock Production/Industries,

An Economic Assessment of the BSE Crisis in Canada: Impacts of Border Closure and BSE Recovery Programs

Using a static, multi-market, partial equilibrium model this paper assesses the economic consequences three alternative government responses to the BSE crisis in Canada: 1) expansion in slaughter capacity, 2) partial destruction of the cattle herd, and 3) deficiency payments. Each of these policies is evaluated under four different border situations 1) free trade in young beef only, the 2004 baseline situation; 2) autarky; 3) free trade in young beef and cattle; and 4) complete free trade. The results of the policy analysis are quite sensitive to the border assumptions employed making it impossible to select a "best" policy without perfect foresight with respect to the timing and the degree of border opening.Livestock Production/Industries,
