HEDONIC ESTIMATION OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA FORESTLAND PRICES

Forestland is a composite good, the price of which varies with its characteristics, such as its ability to produce timber and its proximity to markets. Sales of predominately forested land in southeastern Oklahoma were examined to better understand and quantify the influences of physical and spatial characteristics on sales prices.Land Economics/Use,

Regional intersectoral relations and demand projections with emphasis on the feed-livestock economy of the north central states

This study deals with the agricultural economy of the North Central States and the transactions that occur among the various sectors and related manufacturing and service businesses in the region. The analytical framework-the intersectoral transactions table-provides a means of organizing a vast amount of data pertaining to the North Central Region. In addition, the data that have been prepared can be used in evaluating major areas of investment opportunities in agriculture and agriculturally related business in the region. The evaluation of investment opportunities in this study starts with projections of manufacturing and other final demands for the agricultural products of the North Central Region and its subregions. According to the detailed estimates of demand for agricultural products outside of agriculture, for example, the North Central Region would fulfill more than 2.4 billion dollars of the 4.2 billion dollars expected increase (in constant 1955 dollars) in the demand for meat animals over the 20-year period from 1955 to 1975. A substantial part of the total increase in demand -about 1 billion dollars - would be for the meat-animals output of the Western Corn Belt; namely, Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri. The Northern Plains - North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas - would account for 745 million dollars of the total regional demand, while the five states in the East North Central Region -Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan - would account for the remaining 700 million dollars of the total. Thus, 41 percent of the total increase in the demand for the meat-animals output of north central agriculture would be concentrated in the Western Corn Belt, according to the findings of this study

Computable General Equilibrium Modeling for Regional Analysis

Partial equilibrium analysis illustrates results for one market at a time. However, there often exist market interactions and thus market feedbacks. Pricing outcomes in one market usually have effects in other markets, and these effects, in turn, create ripples throughout the economy, perhaps even to the extent of affecting the price-quantity equilibrium in the original market. To represent this complex set of economic relationships, it is necessary to go beyond partial equilibrium analysis and construct a model that permits viewing many markets simultaneously. This Web Book provides an introduction to and overview of the general equilibrium modeling framework in the context of regional analysis.https://researchrepository.wvu.edu/rri-web-book/1023/thumbnail.jp

Observation of an Excited Bc+ State

Using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.5 fb-1 recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of s=7, 8, and 13 TeV, the observation of an excited Bc+ state in the Bc+π+π- invariant-mass spectrum is reported. The observed peak has a mass of 6841.2±0.6(stat)±0.1(syst)±0.8(Bc+) MeV/c2, where the last uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the Bc+ mass. It is consistent with expectations of the Bc∗(2S31)+ state reconstructed without the low-energy photon from the Bc∗(1S31)+→Bc+γ decay following Bc∗(2S31)+→Bc∗(1S31)+π+π-. A second state is seen with a global (local) statistical significance of 2.2σ (3.2σ) and a mass of 6872.1±1.3(stat)±0.1(syst)±0.8(Bc+) MeV/c2, and is consistent with the Bc(2S10)+ state. These mass measurements are the most precise to date

Study of charmonium production in b -hadron decays and first evidence for the decay Bs0

Using decays to φ-meson pairs, the inclusive production of charmonium states in b-hadron decays is studied with pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, collected by the LHCb experiment at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. Denoting byBC ≡ B(b → C X) × B(C → φφ) the inclusive branching fraction of a b hadron to a charmonium state C that decays into a pair of φ mesons, ratios RC1C2 ≡ BC1 /BC2 are determined as Rχc0ηc(1S) = 0.147 ± 0.023 ± 0.011, Rχc1ηc(1S) =0.073 ± 0.016 ± 0.006, Rχc2ηc(1S) = 0.081 ± 0.013 ± 0.005,Rχc1 χc0 = 0.50 ± 0.11 ± 0.01, Rχc2 χc0 = 0.56 ± 0.10 ± 0.01and Rηc(2S)ηc(1S) = 0.040 ± 0.011 ± 0.004. Here and below the first uncertainties are statistical and the second systematic.Upper limits at 90% confidence level for the inclusive production of X(3872), X(3915) and χc2(2P) states are obtained as RX(3872)χc1 < 0.34, RX(3915)χc0 < 0.12 andRχc2(2P)χc2 < 0.16. Differential cross-sections as a function of transverse momentum are measured for the ηc(1S) andχc states. The branching fraction of the decay B0s → φφφ is measured for the first time, B(B0s → φφφ) = (2.15±0.54±0.28±0.21B)×10−6. Here the third uncertainty is due to the branching fraction of the decay B0s → φφ, which is used for normalization. No evidence for intermediate resonances is seen. A preferentially transverse φ polarization is observed.The measurements allow the determination of the ratio of the branching fractions for the ηc(1S) decays to φφ and p p asB(ηc(1S)→ φφ)/B(ηc(1S)→ p p) = 1.79 ± 0.14 ± 0.32

Study of J /ψ production in Jets

The production of J/ψ mesons in jets is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions using data collected with the LHCb detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The fraction of the jet transverse momentum carried by the J/ψ meson, z(J/ψ)≡pT(J/ψ)/pT(jet), is measured using jets with pT(jet)>20 GeV in the pseudorapidity range 2.5<η(jet)<4.0. The observed z(J/ψ)distribution for J/ψ mesons produced in b-hadron decays is consistent with expectations. However, the results for prompt J/ψ production do not agree with predictions based on fixed-order nonrelativistic QCD. This is the first measurement of the pT fraction carried by prompt J/ψ mesons in jets at any experiment

Bose-Einstein correlations of same-sign charged pions in the forward region in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

Bose-Einstein correlations of same-sign charged pions, produced in protonproton collisions at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, are studied using a data sample collected by the LHCb experiment. The signature for Bose-Einstein correlations is observed in the form of an enhancement of pairs of like-sign charged pions with small four-momentum difference squared. The charged-particle multiplicity dependence of the Bose-Einstein correlation parameters describing the correlation strength and the size of the emitting source is investigated, determining both the correlation radius and the chaoticity parameter. The measured correlation radius is found to increase as a function of increasing charged-particle multiplicity, while the chaoticity parameter is seen to decreas
