Impact the impact of research and training programs on the demand for grass seed in overseas markets

Creator:: Vega-H, Esteban
Abstract:: This research examines whether alternative methods of export commodity promotion and market development, such as technical training and trade servicing activities, have been successful in increasing the demand for grass seed produced in Oregon in international markets. A single equation linear input demand model and a linear model adjusted to...

On the Structure of the Orbit Spaces of Almost Torus Manifolds with Non-negative Curvature

Creator:: Dong, Zheting
Abstract:: An almost torus manifold $M$ is a closed $(2n+1)$-dimensional orientable Riemannian manifold with an effective, isometric $n$-torus action such that the fixed point set $M^T$ is non-empty. Almost torus manifolds are analogues of torus manifolds in odd dimension and share many of the characteristics of torus manifolds. For example, both...
