Landscape-scale short-rotation early-growing season prescribed fire, hereafter prescribed fire, in upland hardwood forests represents a recent shift in management strategies across eastern upland forests. Not only does this strategy depart from dormant season to growing season prescriptions, but the strategy also moves from stand-scale to landscape-scale implementation (>1,000 ha). This being s...

Recessions are times when markets function less efficiently. This phenomenon is usually the domain of theories that rely on changes in preferences (demand shocks) or constraints on price-setting (sticky prices). In our simple model of decentralized trade with asymmetric information, income dispersion measures uncertainty about buyer characteristics. Counter-cyclical income dispersion makes the ...

We study how an optimal income tax and an optimal public-goods provision rule respond to preference and productivity shocks. A conventional Mirrleesian treatment is shown to provoke manipulations of the policy mechanism by individuals with similar interests. We therefore extend the Mirrleesian model so as to include a requirement of coalition-proofness. The main results are the following: first...

Many studies have shown that wind affects plant development, causing them to develop shorter and usually stronger stems. Many of these effects have been shown to be due to a response to mechanical flexing of the stem which is known as thigmomorphogenesis. However, it is not known how wind affects the hydraulic properties of stems, nor have the effects of air flow past leaves been examined in is...

Electrical energy concurrent which cannot be stored so must be utilized as soon as it is generated. Therefore it requires an effective balance of power flow within multi area power system. This paper studies about a two area system [Hydro power plant & PMSG based Wind energy conversion system] which is connected through a tie line. Due to the rapid fluctuation in the wind power it causes distur...

The sector of renewable electricity generation in Asia region countries was comprehensively analyzed. A comparative study has been conducted with bar chart. hierarchical clustering analysis performed for the various types using SPSS software. were clustered into 7 clusters based on total generation. In hydroelectricity Region six groups which India and Turkey are taking lead. Wind four found Co...

In our real time experimental analysis the acoustic sensor estimates the specific target (elephant) coverage localization at 3 different types of forests. The proposed method consists of estimating Direction of Arrival Estimation using partial hyperbolic circular array and also identified few external factors affecting outdoor propagation and acoustic source localization in forest. We already i...

The solar wind was originally envisioned using a simple dipolar corona/polar coronal hole sources picture, but modern observations and models, together with the recent unusual solar cycle minimum, have demonstrated the limitations of this picture. The solar surface fields in both polar and low-to-mid-latitude active region zones routinely produce coronal magnetic fields and related solar wind s...

It is commonly adopted that X-rays from O stars are produced deep inside the stellar wind, and transported outwards through the bulk of the expanding matter which attenuates the radiation and affects the shape of emission line profiles. The ability of the X-ray observatories Chandra and XMM-Newton to resolve these lines spectroscopically provided a stringent test for the theory of the X-ray pro...

Wind induced noise is one of the major concerns of outdoor acoustic signal acquisition. It affects many field measurement and audio recording scenarios. Filtering such noise is known to be difficult due to its broadband and time varying nature. In this paper, a new method to mitigate wind induced noise in microphone signals is developed. Instead of applying filtering techniques, wind induced no...
