A central result in the theoretical literature on strategic trade is the ‘rent-shifting hypothesis’, the idea that government’s can employ trade policy as a precommitment device to transfer profit from foreign to domestic firms. To our knowledge, however, the rent-shifting hypothesis remains untested empirically. This paper constructs a theory-based empirical test of rent-shifting behavior that...

Diets very rich in cereals have been associated with micronutrient malnutrition, and the biofortification of them, has been proposed as one of the best approaches to alleviate the problem. Durum wheat is one of the main sources of calories and protein in many developing countries. In this study, 46 durum varieties grown under full and reduced irrigation, were analyzed for micronutrients and phy...

This article investigates the effects of wheat genetic diversity and land degradation on risk and agricultural productivity in less favoured production environments of a developing agricultural economy. Drawing production data from household and plot surveys conducted in the highlands of Ethiopia, we estimate a stochastic production function to evaluate the effects of variety richness, land deg...

Özetçe. E-fatura sisteminin zorunlu hale getirilmesiyle birlikte kullanımı oldukça yaygınlaşmıştır. Bu da beraberinde yazılımsal bir yük ortaya çıkarmaktadır. e-Fatura Schematron kurallarının kontrolü de bu yükün önemli bir kısmını oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada e-Fatura Schematron kurallarının tek bir XSLT dosyasında çalıştırılması ile her bir kuralın farklı XSLT dosyalarında çalıştırılma perfo...

Pasta is traditionally manufactured using only durum wheat semolina, but it is possible to incorporate other flours or ingredients into pasta in order to increase its nutritional value to the consumer, compared to conventional pasta. For this reason, pasta was prepared substituting durum wheat semolina with 15% of enriched dietary fibre flours (Glucagel, inulin Raftiline® HPX, inulin Raftiline®...

Entomopathogenic Myrmicinosporidium durum Hölldobler, 1933, a fungus known to exploit several ant species, is reported for the first time in five countries: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, and Turkey. The discovery of the fungus in Anatolia significantly widens its known distribution. In addition, this fungal parasite was found to utilize two hitherto unknown host species: Tetr...

Solids with exchangeable hydrogens are treated with D2O. The free-induction decay in a pulsed hydrogen NMR experiment is then interpreted in terms of the fraction of hydrogens in the sample which have been made mobile by this treatement. Data are provided for the hydrogen of starch in durum wheat semolina.

to estimate the optimum and effective amount of nitrogen fertilizer for quantity and quality improvement of three new durum wheat lines, this research was conducted in gachsaran dry-land agricultural research station for a duration of 4 years (2003-2007). the study was performed as a factorial expriment, using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. two factors of: 4 nitrogen ra...
