THE IMPACT OF ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF FLORIDA SUGARCANE COOPERATIVES
Payment arrangements among members of a cooperative play a critical role in the performance of the cooperative. The impact of three payment systems is assessed for Florida sugarcane cooperatives through a bi-level programming model which incorporates both individual and collective behavior.Agricultural Finance,
Transverse transport in graphite
Graphite is a layered material showing a strong anisotropy. Among the
unconventional properties reported by experiments, the electronic transport
along the c-axis, which has direct implications in order to build graphitic
devices, remains a controversial topic. We study the influence of inelastic
scattering on the electron tunnelling between layers. In the presence of
electron electron interactions, tunnelling processes are modified by inelastic
scattering events.Comment: 9 pages, no figures Proceedings of the Graphene Conference, MPI PKS
