Capabilities and Governance the Rebirth of Production in the Theory of Economic Organization

We argue that since Coase’s seminal 1937 paper on “The Nature of the Firm,” there has been an odd and unjustified separation between price theory and the economics of organization. For example, matters of production has been the domain of the former exclusively. However, a new approach to economic organization, here called “the capabilities approach,” that places production center-stage in the explanation of economic organization, is now emerging. We discuss the sources of this approach and its relation to the mainstream economics of organization.Capability, Theory of the Firm, Price Theory

Best Management Practices for Corn Production in South Dakota: Corn Drying and Storage

The goal for a corn drying and storage system is to maintain grain quality without impeding harvesting or shipping. This chapter describes the factors that influence grain quality, proper handling techniques, drying procedures, storage management, and safety precautions

Dual Supersymmetry Algebras from Partial Supersymmetry Breaking

The partial breaking of supersymmetry in flat space can be accomplished using any one of three dual representations for the massive N=1 spin-3/2 multiplet. Each of the representations can be ``unHiggsed'', which gives rise to a set of dual N=2 supergravities and supersymmetry algebras.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figure, cosmetic change

Partial Supersymmetry Breaking from Five Dimensions

Theories of partial supersymmetry breaking N=2 -> N=1 in four dimensions are derived by coupling the N=2 massless gravitino multiplet to N=2 supergravity in five dimensions and performing a generalized dimensional reduction on S^1/Z_2 with the Scherk-Schwarz mechanism. These theories agree with results that were previously derived from four dimensions.Comment: 15 pages, Latex; introduction slightly changed, one reference adde

Best Management Practices for Corn Production in South Dakota: Corn Grain Harvest

Corn (grain) harvest can begin when grain moisture drops below 30%. However, most producers will allow corn to dry in the field until grain moisture is between 18 to 25%. Harvesting corn when grain moisture levels are high can result in excessive drying costs, kernel damage, and harvest loss from improper threshing. Allowing corn to stay in the field too long can result in excess harvest loss from stalk lodging, ear drop, or kernel shattering. An optimal harvest depends not only on the condition of the crop but also on the proper maintenance and adjustment of harvest and grain handling and drying equipment. This chapter provides guidance for assessing harvest losses and kernel damage to determine if equipment adjustment is necessary to minimize losses

Reduced entomopathogen abundance in <i>Myrmica</i> ant nests-testing a possible immunological benefit of myrmecophily using <i>Galleria mellonella</i> as a model

Social insects such as ants have evolved collective rather than individual immune defence strategies against diseases and parasites at the level of their societies (colonies), known as social immunity. Ants frequently host other arthropods, so-called myrmecophiles, in their nests. Here, we tested the hypothesis that myrmecophily may partly arise from selection for exploiting the ants’ social immunity. We used larvae of the wax moth Galleria mellonella as ‘model myrmecophiles’ (baits) to test this hypothesis. We found significantly reduced abundance of entomopathogens in ant nests compared with the surrounding environment. Specific entomopathogen groups (Isaria fumosorosea and nematodes) were also found to be significantly less abundant inside than outside ant nests, whereas one entomopathogen (Beauveria brongniartii) was significantly more abundant inside nests. We therefore hypothesize that immunological benefits of entering ant nests may provide us a new explanation of why natural selection acts in favour of such a life-history strategy
