We used our expertise in economics to compile existing research presented in academic and other publications relevant to the question of GE labeling costs. Collected studies include assessments of the cost impact of state ballot initiatives similar to Oregon’s Ballot Measure 92, and the European Union’s GE labeling regime, as well as the United States Food and Drug Administration labeling cost ...

1. The MM ∑K k=1 CPPk/GE/c/L G-Queue It is well known that the traffic in today’s telecommunication systems often exhibits burstiness i.e. batches of transmission units (e.g. packets) arrive together with correlation among the interarrival times [12]. Several models have been proposed to model such arrival-service processes, queues and networks. These include the compound Poisson process (CPP) ...

Linear-bilinear models, especially the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model, are widely applicable to genotype-by-environment interaction (GEI) studies in plant breeding programs. These models allow a parsimonious modeling of GE interactions, retaining a small number of principal components in the analysis. However, one aspect of the AMMI model that is still debated...

The glycoproteins I and E of pseudorabies virus are important mediators of cell-to-cell spread and virulence in all animal models tested. Although these two proteins form a complex with one another, ascribing any function to the individual proteins has been difficult. We have shown previously, using nonsense mutations, that the N-terminal ectodomain of the gE protein is sufficient for gE-mediat...

Observations of planetary nebulae (PNe) by Sterling, Dinerstein and Bowers have revealed abundances in the neutron-capture element Germanium (Ge) from solar to factors of 3 – 10 above solar. The enhanced Ge is an indication that the slow-neutron capture process (s process) operated in the parent star during the thermallypulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase. We compute the detailed nuc...

The pair correlation function for GexSe1−x alloys near the intermediate phase (IP) is reported. First-principles MD models of these alloys show a ‘selforganized’ phase associated with the number of Ge bonds with twofold Se atoms. This probably represents the IP of Boolchand. The self-organization involves maintaining a nearly constant number of twofold Se atoms bonded to one Ge atom through a r...

Over the recent years, a great deal of effort has been devoted towards the development of analytical models for wormhole-routed networks. However, most of these models employ routers with negligible flit buffers. As a consequence, they do not adequately capture the performance behaviour of actual routers, which are often equipped with extended buffers which can hold more than one message flit. ...
