Fertilizer Practices for Bromegrass

Smooth Bromegrass (Bromus inennis Leyss.) is the dominant and mos t dependable perennial forage crop grown in Alaska. Preliminary studies of the influence of fertilizers upon crude protein yields of bromegrass in Alaska were reported in 1953 ( 5) .1 Several additional fertilizer experiments on bromegrass stands established from northern-grown commercial seed have been conduct ed from 1952 to 196 0 and are reported here

The Random Walk of High Frequency Trading

This paper builds a model of high-frequency equity returns by separately modeling the dynamics of trade-time returns and trade arrivals. Our main contributions are threefold. First, we characterize the distributional behavior of high-frequency asset returns both in ordinary clock time and in trade time. We show that when controlling for pre-scheduled market news events, trade-time returns of the highly liquid near-month E-mini S&P 500 futures contract are well characterized by a Gaussian distribution at very fine time scales. Second, we develop a structured and parsimonious model of clock-time returns by subordinating a trade-time Gaussian distribution with a trade arrival process that is associated with a modified Markov-Switching Multifractal Duration (MSMD) model. This model provides an excellent characterization of high-frequency inter-trade durations. Over-dispersion in this distribution of inter-trade durations leads to leptokurtosis and volatility clustering in clock-time returns, even when trade-time returns are Gaussian. Finally, we use our model to extrapolate the empirical relationship between trade rate and volatility in an effort to understand conditions of market failure. Our model suggests that the 1,200 km physical separation of financial markets in Chicago and New York/New Jersey provides a natural ceiling on systemic volatility and may contribute to market stability during periods of extremely heavy trading

Wavefunctional approach to the bilayer \nu =1 system and a possibility for a double non-chiral pseudospin liquid

We systematically discuss candidate wave functions for the ground state of the bilayer \nu = 1 as the distance between the layers is varied. Those that describe increased intralayer correlations at finite distance show a departure from the superflid description for smaller distances. They may support finite energy meron excitations and a dissipative collective mode in the place of the Goldstone mode of the ordered phase i.e. describe a vortex metal phase, or imply even an incompressible, pseudospin liquid, behavior. Therefore they describe possible outcomes of quantum disordering at finite distance between the layers. The vortex metal phase may show up in experiments in the presence of disorder at lower temperatures and explain the observed "imperfect superfluidity", and the pseudospin liquid phase may be the cause of the thermally activated (gapped) behavior of the longitudinal and Hall resistances at higher temperatures in counterflow experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

Effects of Nitrogen, Lime, and Boron on Candle Rape Grown in the Trapper Creek and Pt. MacKenzie Areas of Southcentral Alaska

When growers in the Susitna Valley and later in the Pt. MacKenzie area of southcentral Alaska inquired as to the feasibility of growing rapeseed, we decided to determine the crops suitability and performance by conducting a field experiment. Bolton (1980) had attempted to predict the feasibility of producing rapeseed in Alaska's interior, but no research had been done in southcentral Alaska. We conducted one study from 1979 through 1981 on Rabideux silt loam (pH 5.1) near Trapper Creek and another from 1982 through 1984 on Kashwitna silt loam (pH 5.4) on the University of Alaska' s research tract in the Pt. MacKenzie area. The first area had been cleared prior to 197 8. This area was rototilled and roots removed in September 1978. The second area was on a tract cleared during the winter of 1981. After clearing, rotary plowing was done twice on the area. During the summer of 1981, roots were removed , and a field cultivator was used twice to loosen and bring roots to the surface

Detection and Implications of a Time-reversal breaking state in underdoped Cuprates

We present general symmetry considerations on how a Time-reversal breaking state may be detected by angle-resolved photoemission using circularly polarized photons as has been proposed earlier. Results of recent experiments utilizing the proposal in underdoped cuprates are analysed and found to be consistent in their symmetry and magnitude with a theory of the Copper-Oxides. These togather with evidence for a quantum critical point and marginal Fermi-liquid properties near optimum doping suggest that a valid microscopic theory of the phenomena in the cuprates has been found.Comment: A statement on detecting the Anyon state is added and some typos are subtracte
