I begin with the proposition that eating is an agricultural act. Eating ends the annual drama of the food economy that begins with planting and birth. Most eaters, however, are no longer aware that this is true. They think of food as an agricultural product, perhaps, but they do not think of themselves as participants in agriculture. They think of themselves as “consumers.” If they think beyond...

This paper is intended as a first step in a program for a full algorithmic enumeration of lattice 3-polytopes. The program is based in the following two facts, that we prove: • For each n there is only a finite number of (equivalence classes of) 3polytopes of lattice width larger than one, where n is the number of lattice points. Polytopes of width one are infinitely many, but easy to classify....

High resolution RADAR images of contiguous targets like vehicles on road often suffer from side lobe enhancement. This leads to false alarm in target detection and degradation in image quality. In this paper, adaptive CLEAN algorithms are introduced to eliminate side lobe enhancement and significantly improve the target detection with better image quality. The effectiveness of the CLEAN algorit...

Multipath propagation in the interstellar medium distorts radio pulses, an effect predominant for distant pulsars observed at low frequencies. Typically, broadened pulses are analyzed to determine the amount of propagation-induced pulse broadening, but with little interest in determining the undistorted pulse shapes. In this paper we develop and apply a method that recovers both the intrinsic p...

We study the behavior of Stanley decompositions and of pretty clean filtrations under reduction modulo a regular element.

A corpus of inference rules between a pair of relation phrases is typically generated using the statistical overlap of argument-pairs associated with the relations (e.g., PATTY, CLEAN). We investigate knowledge-guided linguistic rewrites as a secondary source of evidence and find that they can vastly improve the quality of inference rule corpora, obtaining 27 to 33 point precision improvement w...

Recently Acemolgu, Aghion, Bursztyn and Hemous (AER 2012) formulated a model in which a high macroeconomic elasticity of substitution between clean and dirty production represents a crucial condition for green growth. Until now it has never been systematically estimated. Using a novel panel of cross-country sectoral data, we formulate specifications of nested CES production functions that allow...
