Abstract:
Increasing demand for livestock products will impose a huge demand on feed resources. Biophysical factors such as scarcity of land, soil and water, food–fuel–feed competition, ongoing global climate change and increasing competition for arable land and non-renewable resources such as fossil sources and minerals are challenging the sustainability of feed production systems. Efficient use of available feed resources is key to efficient animal production and food security. It is impossible to effectively manage a resource if its availability is not known. While Feed inventories or Feed assessments provide critical information on feed productive capacities and feed availability at a regional/country level, the sufficiency of the feed supply can only be gauged relative to demands for feeds. Essentially, this comparison between livestock requirements and feed supplies constitutes the Feed balance. In many countries Feed Balances are not usually available or accurate despite their strategic role for livestock development opportunities, for providing input data into country level food input-output analyses and for emergency prevention. Estimation of Feed Balance at a national level requires information on the amounts of feed resources available and their energy content, livestock population and herd structure. Likewise, reliable and harmonised herd structure data are also lacking. Information on what proportions of cereals being produced in a country that are diverted to feed production is critical for assessing food security situations in countries. In most situations these data are not available for most developing countries. Equally important is the information on the feeding systems i.e. how different feed resources are being fed to livestock. Assessment of environmental impacts of livestock and development of optimal feeding strategies rely on information about feeding systems and data on feed balance. Feed-use efficiency and decrease in release of environmental pollutants from livestock production systems hinges on feeding of balanced rations; and for their preparation, availability of reliable data on chemical composition and nutritional value of feed resources is a must. Also for reducing wastages, ensuring food safety through enhancing feed safety and promoting international trade, data on the presence of microbial contaminants including mycotoxins, heavy metals, antibiotic and pesticide residues must also be strengthened. Development of a National Feed Resource Information Systems linked to a Global Feed Resource Information Systems should be considered. Feed Inventories, Feed Balance, Feeding Systems, and Feed Quality including Feed Contaminants should be considered as integral components of an overall strategy or options that integrate technical (genetics, health and nutrition), policy and institutional interventions for using resources more efficiently to produce more food and feed. Both policy makers and animal feed and crop scientists have a role to play in making this possible.

Abstract:
Operational tactics in urban areas are often aided by information from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). A major challenge for dismounted soldiers, particularly in urban environments, is to understand the conflict area in general and particularly from the UAV feed. The UAV feed is usually used to enhance soldiers’ situation awareness abilities but less for identifying specific elements. A possible way to further enhance soldiers’ abilities is to provide them with multiple sources of information (e.g., aerial and ground views). This study examined the benefits of presenting video feed from UAVs and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in a combined interface, relative to presenting aerial feed alone. Thirty former infantry soldiers with no experience in operating unmanned vehicles participated. Objective performance, subjective evaluations, and eye-tracking patterns were examined in two scenarios. In Scenario 1, performance scores in both identification and orientation tasks were superior in the combined configuration. In Scenario 2, performance scores in the identification tasks were improved, and the addition of the UGV feed did not harm performance in the orientation task. Eye movement scanning patterns reinforced that both UAV and UGV feeds were used for the mission. The combined configuration generated consistent benefits with regard to the identification tasks, perceived mental demand, and reduction of false reports without having any apparent cost on participants. Ground views may provide additional support to dismounted soldiers.

Abstract:
Abstract Feeds and feed management practices are key to the development of the aquaculture sector. To achieve high levels of aquaculture production, fish farmers need nutritionally adequate and cost-effective feeds, which are coupled with good feed management practices. Access to high quality and cost-effective feeds is one of the prerequisites to successful fish farming. This paper reviews the current status of the Kenyan fish feed industry and feed management practices. The review includes constraints and opportunities in fish feeds from a farmer’s perspective. The review shows that the fish feed industry has been boosted by the development of fish feed standards, which has ensured access to high-quality fish feeds by all farmers. Feed management practices considerably impact on the economic performance in fish production. Thus, adopting appropriate feed management technologies and feeding strategies is instrumental in maximizing aquaculture productivity. Some of the major challenges faced by fish farmers in the feed sector including limited access to finance, lack of appropriate technical innovations, limited knowledge in feed formulation and processing and poor feed handling and storage are discussed. These challenges pose limitation in investment opportunities for a viable and sustainable fish feed processing and manufacturing to meet the rising demand occasioned by increased demand for fish food in Kenya. There is a huge potential to develop public-private partnerships with farmer groups to improve access to training and information dissemination on feeds availability and quality. Training fish farmers on feed formulation using locally available feed ingredients provide an opportunity to reduce feed costs, increase feeding efficiency and improve profitability. This paper reviews the current status of the Kenyan fish feed industry and feed management practices including constraints and opportunities from a farmer’s perspective.

Abstract:
The recent emergence of web 2.0 technologies and rich internet applications is driving the development of a new class of applications that combines data from diverse sources which we refer to as “mash-ups.” One of the most popular mash-ups comes in the form of web feed mash-ups relying on syndication technologies such as RSS and Atom. This kind of mash-ups aggregates web feeds derived from multiple news websites or blogs and then timely presents them in a single interface. In such systems, it is difficult to know exactly how feed results in data mash-ups are generated. In particular, it is difficult for users to make determinations about whether information is trusted. Therefore, it is necessary that web feed mash-ups have to support a mechanism that is capable of recording and querying provenance information - the information about the process that led to result data. In this paper, the author proposes a provenance tracking solution that enables provenance functionality to be facilitated in web feed mash-ups. He demonstrates how the provenance of feed mash-up results to be determined by means of a provenance query algorithm. To tackle the storage problem resulting from the persistence of intermediate web feeds, a novel storage optimization method is introduced. Finally, the author evaluates his provenance solution in terms of storage consumption for provenance collection, demonstrating significant reductions in storage size and achieving reasonable storage overheads.

Abstract:
The population of olive ridley has declined in Indonesia, so that efforts are needed to preserve this turtle population through conservation. In conservation of olive ridley, the selection of the precise feed will affect for a good growth. Feed that has high protein content one of them is dried rebon shrimp and tongkol fish. The utilization of feed from dried rebon shrimp and tongkol fish, especially mix feed of these two feeds for olive ridley baby is still very limited information. This research aims to determine the comparison growth rate of olive ridley with a feeding of tongkol fish, dried rebon shrimp and mixed feed also to know the percentage of feed efficiency. The research was conducted for six weeks at the conservation center TCEC Serangan, Bali. The design method used was Completely Randomized Design (CDR) with one control and three treatments, each treatment getting five repetitions. ANOVA analysis was used to analyze the mean differences between groups and the calculation of feed efficiency was performed to see the percentage of feed that was most efficient in the body of the hatch. The results showed different feeds gave different growth rates. The high protein on mixed feeds has produced the highest growth rates compared with dried rebon shrimp and tongkol fish feed. Similarly, the percentage efficiency of mixed feed is more efficient compared with dried rebon shrimp and tongkol fish feed.

Abstract:
<p> Algorithmic curation is a growing influence on our information flows as it complements and sometimes supplants traditional mass media and personal information sharing. One of the primary agents of this rise in algorithmically-curated information flows is the Facebook News Feed, a onetime source of primarily entertainment that has, as of late, taken large strides towards the news business. It is fair to say that Facebook has a huge influence on our information, one that will likely expand in the future; even if not Facebook, similar systems will rule our information. Yet, we know next to nothing about how they work, as the algorithms that power them are sealed inside a black box. This thesis approaches the Facebook News Feed through a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods in a process dubbed &ldquo;Negative Reverse Engineering&rdquo; in an attempt to gain access to the contents of the black box not through traditional technical means, but through an analysis of Facebook&rsquo;s values structure and needs. Components include an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature, an experiment based around the generation of filter bubbles through the application of negative pressure, a grounded content analysis of Facebook&rsquo;s statements and documents, an autoethnography of Facebook use, and a regression analysis of Facebook under duress. From this data, a Hierarchy of Needs for the News Feed is created, rejecting the model of News Feed filtering as an equation in favor of a holistic, values-based model.</p>

Abstract:
The fact of being bulky and not very cost-efficient made lens antennas not to be takenmuch into account in the past. Nowadays, this kind of antennas has attracted moreattention due to the increasing demand of higher frequencies in 5G, where lensesbecome considerably smaller. Moreover, the advances achieved in manufacturingtechniques such as 3D printing have reduced the costs to a great extent. Lenses canbe used to transform the Electromagnetic (EM) waves coming from a source into anydesired radiation pattern. For example, a directive beam in any specific direction couldcounteract the higher path losses at the new frequency bands used in 5G.In order to feed the lens, a transition from a coaxial cable to a waveguide or hornantenna working at the desired frequency band has been used as the source. However,most of the time, these feeds are only able to support a single polarization, thus notexploiting the capabilities, such as the increase in capacity, of using Polarization-Division Multiplexing (PDM).In this thesis, a system composed of a dual-polarized array feed and a Gutman lensoperating at the frequency band of 28 GHz is designed and simulated in order toanalyze its performance. Commercial software CST Microwave Studio is used for thatpurpose. Some prototype ideas to be manufactured in the future are also analyzed.

Abstract:
Until recently, transit data lacked a common data format that could be used to share and integrate information among multiple agencies. In 2005, however, Google worked with Tri-Met in Oregon to create the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), an open data format now used by all transit agencies that participate in Google Maps. GTFS feeds contain data for scheduled transit service including stop and route locations, schedules and fare information. The broad adoption of GTFS by transit agencies has made it a de facto standard. Those agencies using it are able to participate in a host of traveler services designed for GTFS, most notably transit trip planners. Still, analysts have not widely used GTFS as a data source for transit planning because of the newness of the technology. The objectives of this project are to demonstrate that GTFS feeds are an efficient data source for calculating key transit service metrics and to evaluate the validity of GTFS feeds as a data source. To demonstrate GTFS feeds’ analytic potential, the author created a tool called GTFS Reader, which imports GTFS feeds into a database using open-source products. GTFS Reader also includes a series of queries that calculate metrics like headways, route lengths and stop-spacing. To evaluate the validity of GTFS feeds, annual vehicle revenue miles and hours from the National Transit Database (NTD) are compared to the calculated values from agencies whose GTFS feeds are available. The key finding of this work is that well-formed GTFS feeds are an accurate representation of transit networks and that the method of aggregation presented in this research can be used to effectively and efficiently calculate metrics for transit agencies. The daily aggregation method is more accurate than the weekly aggregation method, both introduced in this thesis, but practical limitations on processing time favor the weekly method. The reliability of GTFS feed data for smaller agencies is less conclusive than that of larger agencies because of discrepancies found in smaller agencies when their GTFS-generated metrics were compared to those in the NTD. This research will be of particular interest to transit and policy analysts, researchers and transit planners.

Abstract:
Outliers are a major concern in data quality as it limits the reliability of any data. The objective of our investigation was to examine the presence and cause of outliers in the system for controlling and recording the feed intake of dairy cows in Lovsta farm, Uppsala Sweden. The analyses were made on data recorded as a timestamp of each visit of the cows to the feeding troughs from the period of August 2015 to January 2016. A three step methodology was applied to this data. The first step was fitting a mixed model to the data then the resulting residuals was used in the second step to fit a model based clustering for Gaussian mixture distribution which resulted in clusters of which 2.5% of the observations were in the outlier cluster. Finally, as the third step, a logistic regression was then fit modelling the presence of outliers versus the non-outlier clusters. It appeared that on early hours of the morning between 6am to 11.59am, there is a high possibility of recorded values to be outliers with odds ratio of 1.1227 and this is also the same time frame noted to have the least activity in feed consumption of the cows with a decrease of 0.027 kilograms as compared to the other timeframes. These findings provide a basis for further investigation to more specifically narrow down the causes of the outliers.

Abstract:
Assessment of machine health and prediction of future failures are critical for maintenance decisions. Many of the existing methods use unsupervised techniques to construct health indicators by measuring the disparity between the current state and either the healthy or the faulty states of the system. This approach can work well, but if the resulting health indicators are insufficient there is no easy way to steer the algorithm towards better ones. In this thesis a new method for health indicator construction is investigated that aims to solve this issue. It is based on measuring distance after transforming the sensor data into a new space using a feed-forward neural network. The feed-forward neural network is trained using a multi-objective optimization algorithm, NSGA-II, to optimize criteria that are desired in a health indicator. Thereafter the constructed health indicator is passed into a gated recurrent unit for remaining useful life prediction. The approach is compared to benchmarks on the NASA Turbofan Engine Degradation Simulation dataset and in regard to the size of the neural networks, the model performs relatively well, but does not outperform the results reported by a few of the more recent methods. The method is also investigated on a simulated dataset based on elevator weights with two independent failures. The method is able to construct a single health indicator with a desirable shape for both failures, although the latter estimates of time until failure are overestimated for the more rare failure type. On both datasets the health indicator construction method is compared with a baseline without transformation function and does in both cases outperform it in terms of the resulting remaining useful life prediction error using the gated recurrent unit. Overall, the method is shown to be flexible in generating health indicators with different characteristics and because of its properties it is adaptive to different remaining useful life prediction methods.<br>Estimering av maskinhälsa och prognos av framtida fel är kritiska steg för underhållsbeslut. Många av de befintliga metoderna använder icke-väglett (unsupervised) lärande för att konstruera hälsoindikatorer som beskriver maskinens tillstånd över tid. Detta sker genom att mäta olikheter mellan det nuvarande tillståndet och antingen de friska eller fallerande tillstånden i systemet. Det här tillvägagångssättet kan fungera väl, men om de resulterande hälsoindikatorerna är otillräckliga så finns det inget enkelt sätt att styra algoritmen mot bättre. I det här examensarbetet undersöks en ny metod för konstruktion av hälsoindikatorer som försöker lösa det här problemet. Den är baserad på avståndsmätning efter att ha transformerat indatat till ett nytt vektorrum genom ett feed-forward neuralt nätverk. Nätverket är tränat genom en multi-objektiv optimeringsalgoritm, NSGA-II, för att optimera kriterier som är önskvärda hos en hälsoindikator. Därefter används den konstruerade hälsoindikatorn som indata till en gated recurrent unit (ett neuralt nätverk som hanterar sekventiell data) för att förutspå återstående livslängd hos systemet i fråga. Metoden jämförs med andra metoder på ett dataset från NASA som simulerar degradering hos turbofan-motorer. Med avseende på storleken på de använda neurala nätverken så är resultatet relativt bra, men överträffar inte resultaten rapporterade från några av de senaste metoderna. Metoden testas även på ett simulerat dataset baserat på elevatorer som fraktar säd med två oberoende fel. Metoden lyckas skapa en hälsoindikator som har en önskvärd form för båda felen. Dock så överskattar den senare modellen, som använde hälsoindikatorn, återstående livslängd vid estimering av det mer ovanliga felet. På båda dataseten jämförs metoden för hälsoindikatorkonstruktion med en basmetod utan transformering, d.v.s. avståndet mäts direkt från grund-datat. I båda fallen överträffar den föreslagna metoden basmetoden i termer av förutsägelsefel av återstående livslängd genom gated recurrent unit- nätverket. På det stora hela så visar sig metoden vara flexibel i skapandet av hälsoindikatorer med olika attribut och p.g.a. metodens egenskaper är den adaptiv för olika typer av metoder som förutspår återstående livslängd.

Abstract:
As communication technology evolves, the focus shifts to 5G. The discussion of 5G cannot be separated from a discussion of related antenna systems. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction to our work, which is an antenna array for a 5G communication system operating in the band 3.4 to 3.8 GHz. This is a common band for 5G in Europe. Background and theory are presented in Chapters 2 and 3. In Chapter 4, the design has been simulated with the software CST Studio Suite. We study an antenna group that consists of four linear arrays that together cover all directions. The gain eventually reaches 12dB in each of the main directions after optimization. Based on simulation, this gain could be implemented as described in Chapter 5. The specification requires that the antenna should have four main directions with high directivity and a reasonable performance elsewhere. The realized gain is 11 dB for the four main directions. Our data shows that the arrays have two different work modes depending on feeding: one as a directive antenna with 11 dB gain, the other as an omnidirectional antenna with 7.5 dB gain. High directivity is very important for 5G communication. A summary with conclusions is given in Chapter 6 where also some improvements are suggested.

Abstract:
Serendipity innebär ett överraskande, lyckligt utfall som introducerar en ny upptäckt av värde för användaren. Till skillnad från dagens algoritmer, som ofta enbart ger rekommendationer baserat på relevans, innefattar design för serendipity fler komponenter för att göra innehåll på sociala medier intressant för användaren. Serendipity beskrivs därför i flera studier som ett lovande sätt för att öka chansen att användare tar del av innehållet. I dagens sociala medier introduceras allt kraftfullare algoritmer för att personalisera innehåll. Detta kan medföra att användaren inte ser tillräckligt varierad information, och riskerar att få en dålig förståelse om varierande åsikter. För att förebygga detta ämnar studien undersöka hur design för serendipity kan användas för att öka användares bredd av exponering av innehåll, även kallat exponeringsvariation. Baserat på den identifierade litteraturen gällande serendipity formulerades tre designförslag, vilka sedan designades in i en prototyp. Designförslagen berör behovet av ett varierat innehåll genom användningen av existerande sociala kontaktnät som kan användas för att uppnå detta, behovet av ett upplevt värde för användaren och användarens behov av kontroll. Då tidigare studier gällande serendipity har identifierat en brist på utvärderingar med användare skapades en prototyp över ett alternativt informationsflöde på Facebook. Informationsflödet har konstruerats i syfte att exponera användarna för nytt och oväntat innehåll och skapa förutsättningarna för att serendipity ska uppstå. Informationsflödet har sedan utvärderats med användare och visar att de upplevt variationen som positiv samt en känsla av kontroll kopplat till större valfrihet. Användningen av designförslagen har således visat hur de kan främja användares exponeringsvariation och även möjliggör för serendipity att inträffa.<br>Serendipity means a surprising, happy outcome that introduces a new discovery of value for the user. Unlike today's algorithms, which often only provide recommendations based on relevance, serendipity design includes more components to make social media content interesting to the user. Serendipity is therefore described in several studies as a promising way to increase the chance that users take part in the content. Today's social media introduces increasingly powerful algorithms for personalizing content. This can result in users not seeing sufficiently diverse information, and a risk of gaining a poor understanding of varying opinions. To prevent this, we intend to investigate how design for serendipity can be used to increase users' breadth of content exposure, also called diversity exposure. Based on the identified literature regarding serendipity, three design proposals were formulated, which were then designed into a prototype. The design proposals concern the need for a diverse content through the use of the users existing social networking contacts that can be used to achieve this, the need for a perceived value for the user and the user's need for control. As previous studies regarding serendipity have identified a lack of evaluations with users, a prototype was created of an alternative information feed on Facebook. The feed has been designed with the aim of exposing users to novel and unexpected content and creating the conditions for serendipity to arise. The information feed has since been evaluated with users and shows that they have experienced the variation as positive and a sense of control linked to greater freedom of choice. The use of the design proposals has thus shown how they can promote users' diversity exposure and also enable serendipity to occur.

Abstract:
Facebook kan ses som ett exempel på den nya webb som följt de riktlinjer som sammanställdes i Web 2.0. I riktlinjerna lades tonvikt på sociala medier och en interaktiv webb, centrerad kring användaren och användarskapat innehåll. Sedan starten har Facebook News Feed implementerat en algoritmisk kuratering (eng. algorithmic curation ) för att ge användaren vad han eller hon söker baserat på tidigare interaktion. Studier har gjorts för att analysera hur användarna upplever den underliggande algoritmen. Dessa har visat att människor ofta utvecklar egna teorier om hur algoritmen fungerar och att detta påverkar hur en användare interagerar med nyhetsflödet. Det sätt algoritmisk kuratering används idag i applikationer är främst genom att tillämpa en sömlös designfilosofi. Detta görs för att förenkla användarupplevelsen genom att lägga en “svart låda” över de underliggande processerna. I vår studie intervjuade vi tio studenter om sina tankar om nyhetsflödet och hur mycket kontroll de har att anpassa flödet efter personliga preferenser. Vi ämnar även bidra till diskussionen gällande fördelar och nackdelar med en så kallad seamful design kontra en seamless design och hur användaren upplever resultatet av ett flöde som har implementerat en algoritmisk kuratering. Resultatet visar att vi kan se samband mellan bristande tillit till systemets anpassningsverktyg och låg transparens. Våra användare uttryckte att de kunde förstå varför de får de resultat de får, men vi fann även att den stora delen av innehållet var irrelevant för deras intressen och personliga preferenser. Våra resultat visar ett behov av att fortsätta forskningen på olika plattformar för att se om en något ökad insyn kommer att bidra till att lita på frågor och underlätta manuell anpassning av system för högre relevans.<br>Facebook can be seen as an example of the new web emerging with the rise of Web 2.0. The guidelines of this new web put emphasis on social media and an interactive web, heavily centered around the user and user created content. Since the start the Facebook News Feed has implemented an algorithmic curation to give the user what he or she wants based on prior interaction. Studies have been made analyzing how users experience the underlying algorithm. They have shown that people often are developing their own theories on how the algorithm work and that this also affect the way a user interacts with the feed. The way algorithmic curation is used today in applications is mainly by embracing a seamless design philosophy. This is done to simplify the user experience by putting a “black box” over the underlying processes. In our study we interviewed ten students on their thoughts about the News Feed and the amount of control they have to adapt the feed according to personal preferences. We aim to contribute to the discussion on the benefits and downsides with a so called seamful design in contrast to a seamless design and how users experience the results of a feed that has implemented an algorithmic curation. Our results show connections between a lack of trust in the systems tools to customize the feed and low transparency. Our users expressed that they could understand as to why they got the results that they get, but we found that the vast majority of content was irrelevant to their interests and personal preferences. Our results indicate that there is a need to continue the research on different platforms to see if a somewhat heightened transparency will help with trust issues and ease manual adaptation of systems for higher relevancy.

Abstract:
In order to prevent machine tool feed slide system from transient vibrations during operation, machine tool designers usually adopt some typical design solutions; box-in-box typed feed slides, optimizing moving body for minimum weight and dynamic compliance, and so on. Despite all efforts for optimizing design, a feed drive system may experience severe transient vibrations during high-speed operation if its feed-rate control is not suitable. A rough feed-rate curve having discontinuity in its acceleration profile causes serious vibrations in the feed slides system. This paper presents a feed-rate optimization of a ball screw driven machine tool feed slide system for its minimum vibrations. A ball screw feed drive system was mathematically modeled as a 6-degree-of-freedom lumped parameter model. Then, a feed-rate optimization of the system was carried out for minimum vibrations. The main idea of the feed-rate optimization is to find out the most appropriate smooth acceleration profile having jerk continuity. A genetic algorithm, G.A., was used in this feed rate optimization.

Full text
Abstract:
Washington, DC is ranked second among cities in terms of highest public transit commuters in the United States, with approximately 9% of the working population using the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) Metrobuses to commute. Deducing accurate travel times of these metrobuses is an important task for transit authorities to provide reliable service to its patrons. This study, using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), developed prediction models for transit buses to assist decision-makers to improve service quality and patronage. For this study, we used six months of Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) and Automatic Passenger Counting (APC) data for six Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) bus routes operating in Washington, DC. We developed regression models and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) models for predicting travel times of buses for different peak periods (AM, Mid-Day and PM). Our analysis included variables such as number of served bus stops, length of route between bus stops, average number of passengers in the bus, average dwell time of buses, and number of intersections between bus stops. We obtained ANN models for travel times by using approximation technique incorporating two separate algorithms: Quasi-Newton and Levenberg-Marquardt. The training strategy for neural network models involved feed forward and errorback processes that minimized the generated errors. We also evaluated the models with a Comparison of the Normalized Squared Errors (NSE). From the results, we observed that the travel times of buses and the dwell times at bus stops generally increased over time of the day. We gathered travel time equations for buses for the AM, Mid-Day and PM Peaks. The lowest NSE for the AM, Mid-Day and PM Peak periods corresponded to training processes using Quasi-Newton algorithm, which had 3, 2 and 5 perceptron layers, respectively. These prediction models could be adapted by transit agencies to provide the patrons with accurate travel time information at bus stops or online.

Ashley, Caitlyn, Elizabeth Spencer Berthiaume, Philip Berzin, et al. Law and Policy Resource Guide: A Survey of Eminent Domain Law in Texas and the Nation. Edited by Gabriel Eckstein. Texas A&M University School of Law Program in Natural Resources Systems, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.37419/eenrs.eminentdomainguide.

Full text
Abstract:
Eminent Domain is the power of the government or quasi-government entities to take private or public property interests through condemnation. Eminent Domain has been a significant issue since 1879 when, in the case of Boom Company v. Patterson, the Supreme Court first acknowledged that the power of eminent domain may be delegated by state legislatures to agencies and non-governmental entities. Thus, the era of legal takings began. Though an important legal dispute then, more recently eminent domain has blossomed into an enduring contentious social and political problem throughout the United States. The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution states, “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.” Thus, in the wake of the now infamous decision in Kelo v. City of New London, where the Court upheld the taking of private property for purely economic benefit as a “public use,” the requirement of “just compensation” stands as the primary defender of constitutionally protected liberty under the federal constitution. In response to Kelo, many state legislatures passed a variety of eminent domain reforms specifically tailoring what qualifies as a public use and how just compensation should be calculated. Texas landowners recognize that the state’s population is growing at a rapid pace. There is an increasing need for more land and resources such as energy and transportation. But, private property rights are equally important, especially in Texas, and must be protected as well. Eminent domain and the condemnation process is not a willing buyer and willing seller transition; it is a legally forced sale. Therefore, it is necessary to consider further improvements to the laws that govern the use of eminent domain so Texas landowners can have more assurance that this process is fair and respectful of their private property rights when they are forced to relinquish their land. This report compiles statutes and information from the other forty-nine states to illustrate how they address key eminent domain issues. Further, this report endeavors to provide a neutral third voice in Texas to strike a more appropriate balance between individual’s property rights and the need for increased economic development. This report breaks down eminent domain into seven major topics that, in addition to Texas, seemed to be similar in many of the other states. These categories are: (1) Awarding of Attorneys’ Fee; (2) Compensation and Valuation; (3) Procedure Prior to Suit; (4) Condemnation Procedure; (5) What Cannot be Condemned; (6) Public Use &amp; Authority to Condemn; and (7) Abandonment. In analyzing these seven categories, this report does not seek to advance a particular interest but only to provide information on how Texas law differs from other states. This report lays out trends seen across other states that are either similar or dissimilar to Texas, and additionally, discusses interesting and unique laws employed by other states that may be of interest to Texas policy makers. Our research found three dominant categories which tend to be major issues across the country: (1) the awarding of attorneys’ fees; (2) the valuation and measurement of just compensation; and (3) procedure prior to suit.

Abstract:
Das Projekt iENG (Intelligente Energienutzung in der Gebäudewirtschaft) thematisiert die umwelt- und gesellschaftsverträgliche Umsetzung der Energiewende im Gebäudebereich. Es geht der Frage nach, warum insbesondere im Bestand das Umsetzungstempo weit hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleibt und vertieft dabei die Fragestellungen der Informations-vermittlung (Energieberater), der rechtlichen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen (EnEV und Förder-Verfahren) sowie die bislang weitgehend ignorierten Chancen von architektonischer Gestaltung und gebäudekybernetischen Ansätzen. In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, die Sicht der Gebäudenutzer, also insbesondere der Mieter und selbstnutzenden Eigentümer von Wohnungen zu ergründen. Dazu ist es sinnvoll, an der öffentlichen Diskussion der Thematik Gebäudeenergiewende anzuknüpfen, die meistens bei der aktuellen technischen Standardlösung zum Einsparen von Energie im Gebäudebereich anknüpft: den Wärmedämmverbundsystemen. Sie sind sowohl durch große Werbemaßnahmen (Ulrich Wickert: Dämmen lohnt sich) als auch durch die Kriterien für die Vergabe vergünstigter Modernisierungskredite oder Zuschüsse nahezu vorgegeben, um im Wohnungsbestand und bei Neubauten über eine Reduzierung der erforderlichen Heizleistung zu einer Energieeinsparung und zur CO2-Reduzierung beizutragen. Im folgenden Bericht werden ausgehend von der methodischen Anlage des Teilprojektes die Ergebnisse der empirischen Arbeiten dargestellt. Im Verlauf des Projektes haben sich insbesondere bei der Rekrutierung von Teilnehmern für die Fokusgruppen Probleme ergeben, die dargestellt und diskutiert werden sollen (Kap. 2). Aufgrund der Zugangsprobleme zum Feld ist die empirische Basis der nachfolgenden Überlegungen nicht sehr robust und nur begrenzt belastbar (Kap. 3). Abschließend werden die wesentlichen Ergebnisse des Teil-projektes im Kapitel 4 zusammengefasst und ein Ausblick gegeben.

Full text
Abstract:
In defined contribution systems, at the end of the accumulation phase the assets in the retirement account are exchanged for a pension. The conversion rate from assets to retirement income (which depends on the level of interest rates) is very volatile, and its variations constitute the main investment risk facing pension fund affiliates. In this sense, performance metrics, management fees and benchmark portfolios that focus on assets (and asset returns) and ignore the variations in the conversion rate, embed several problems: i. they send wrong signals to regulators, fund managers and workers, ii. they provide wrong incentives to pension fund management companies, and iii. they leave pension fund affiliates exposed to their largest risk factor, even during the last few years preceding their retirement date. We find that regulatory incentives with these fundamental problems are ubiquitous in the region. The document presents a series of best practices, and delivers a practical set of tools to assist regulators and supervisors in designing a framework that improves security and sufficiency of retirement income, and provides relevant and timely information to pension fund affiliates. The framework achieves that by fostering an integration of the accumulation and the payout phases, and an alignment of the regulatory incentives for pension fund management companies with the retirement income objectives of pension fund affiliates. Using historical data from Colombia as a case study, the document illustrates and quantifies the improvements in terms of pension benefits and retirement income security that the proposed framework could bring.

Abstract:
Limited information exists about enrollment in Part D prescription coverage by Medicare beneficiaries with cancer. Part D coverage may increase access to medicines. This study evaluated patterns of Part D uptake and costs and assessed the effects of coverage on hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) use among people with colorectal cancer (CRC). We analyzed Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)–Medicare linked data on fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare beneficiaries with at least 36 months of follow-up who were diagnosed with CRC at any point from January 2007 through December 2010, and a matched cohort of beneficiaries without cancer. Dual (Medicare/Medicaid) enrollees were excluded because they are automatically enrolled in Part D. Among beneficiaries with CRC (n=12,774), 39 percent had complete Part D coverage, defined as coverage in the diagnosis year and 2 subsequent years; the rate was 38 percent in the matched comparison cohort (P=.119). Among those with complete Part D coverage, there was no significant difference in annual prescription drug costs between people with CRC ($3,157, 95% confidence interval [CI]: $3,098–$3,216) and without ($3,113, 95% CI: $3,054–$3,172). Among people with CRC, odds of ED use ranged from unchanged to marginally higher for those with no or partial Part D coverage, (adjusted odds ratio: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.00–1.18), compared with those with complete Part D coverage. Lack of continuous Part D coverage was associated with more ED use among Medicare FFS beneficiaries with CRC in 2007–2013. Among people with Part D coverage, prescription drug costs varied little between those with CRC and matched beneficiaries without cancer.
