The estimated elasticities can be used to measure the impacts of agricultural policies and can be used to predict future consumption in the context of food security in terms of access, availability, stability, and food quality. The reported demand estimates were obtained through the estimation of a Linear Approximate Almost Ideal Demand Systems （LA/AIDS） for Jordan fresh vegetable crops demand system using the most recent cross-sectional data of household expenditure survey in 2005. A censored regression method for the system of equations was used to analyze fresh vegetables consumption patterns. This method allows for inclusion of a large number of zero consumption for some foods through two-step demand system estimation. All of the own-price demand elasticities have the correct negative signs and statistically significant. According to the expenditure elasticity, tomato, cucumber, and potato are the necessity goods. The mean budget shares indicate that consumers spend 30 percent of their allocated budget to vegetables on tomatoes and potatoes. The green bean elasticity is the highest indicating that demand for beans is highly responsive to any changes in the price. The expenditure elasticities reveal that the demand on all vegetables is expected to grow over the coming few years. High own-price elasticities of all vegetables studied suggests that any changes in the prices of these crops could bring about a significant shift in fruits and vegetable constanption patterns.展开更多

Through presenting the Gaussian approximation about the white noise posterior smoothing probability density fimction, an optimal and unifying white noise smoothing framework was firstly derived on the basis of the existing state smoother. The proposed framework was only formal in the sense that it rarely could be directly used in practice since the model nonlinearity resulted in the intractability and infeasibility of analytically computing the smoothing gain. For this reason, a suboptimal and practical white noise smoother, which is called the unscented white noise smoother （UWNS）, was further developed by applying unscented transformation to numerically approximate the smoothing gain. Simulation results show the superior performance of the proposed UWNS approach as compared to the existing extended white noise smoother （EWNS） based on the first-order linearization.展开更多

The results are obtained by transforming the governing system of boundary layer equations into a system of non-dimensional equations and by applying implicit finite difference method together with Newton＇s linearization approximation. Numerical results for different values of pressure stress work parameter, viscous dissipation parameter and Prandtl number have been obtained. The velocity profiles, temperature distributions, skin friction co-efficient and the rate of heat transfer have been presented graphically for the effects of the aforementioned parameters.展开更多
