The U.S. Department of Agriculture–Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS) has been a leader in weed science research covering topics ranging from the development and use of integrated weed management (IWM) tactics to basic mechanistic studies, including biotic resistance of desirable plant communities and herbicide resistance. ARS weed scientists have worked in agricultural and natural ecosystems, including agronomic and horticultural crops, pastures, forests, wild lands, aquatic habitats, wetlands, and riparian areas. Through strong partnerships with academia, state agencies, private industry, and numerous federal programs, ARS weed scientists have made contributions to discoveries in the newest fields of robotics and genetics, as well as the traditional and fundamental subjects of weed–crop competition and physiology and integration of weed control tactics and practices. Weed science at ARS is often overshadowed by other research topics; thus, few are aware of the long history of ARS weed science and its important contributions. This review is the result of a symposium held at the Weed Science Society of America’s 62nd Annual Meeting in 2022 that included 10 separate presentations in a virtual Weed Science Webinar Series. The overarching themes of management tactics (IWM, biological control, and automation), basic mechanisms (competition, invasive plant genetics, and herbicide resistance), and ecosystem impacts (invasive plant spread, climate change, conservation, and restoration) represent core ARS weed science research that is dynamic and efficacious and has been a significant component of the agency’s national and international efforts. This review highlights current studies and future directions that exemplify the science and collaborative relationships both within and outside ARS. Given the constraints of weeds and invasive plants on all aspects of food, feed, and fiber systems, there is an acknowledged need to face new challenges, including agriculture and natural resources sustainability, economic resilience and reliability, and societal health and well-being.

Epilepsy and mental illness have a bidirectional association. Psychiatrists are likely to encounter epilepsy as comorbidity. Seizures may present as mental illness. Equally, the management of psychiatric conditions has the potential to destabilise epilepsy. There is a need for structured epilepsy awareness and training amongst psychiatrists. This paper outlines key considerations around diagnosis, treatment and risk while suggesting practical recommendations.

We measured the spin-orbit misalignment for WASP-79b, a transiting hot Jupiter from the WASP survey. Using the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect during the transit event, we determined the sky-projected obliquity to be λ = −106+10−8○. This result indicates that the planet is in a nearly polar orbit.

An antigenic mimic of the Ebola glycoprotein was synthesized and tested for its ability to be recognized by an anti-Ebola glycoprotein antibody. Epitope-mapping procedures yielded a suitable epitope that, when presented on the surface of a nanoparticle, forms a structure that is recognized by an antibody specific for the native protein. This mimic-antibody interaction has been quantitated through ELISA and QCM-based methods and yielded an affinity (Kd = 12 × 10−6 M) within two orders of magnitude of the reported affinity of the native Ebola glycoprotein for the same antibody. These results suggest that the rational design approach described herein is a suitable method for the further development of protein-based antigenic mimics with potential applications in vaccine development and sensor technology.

Summary
The general simplicity of the storage technology for bulk commodities means that it offers no notable economies of scale and requires no special technical skills. Because of the minimal fixed costs and ease of entry and exit, it is reasonable to assume the number of firms in the storage industry is sufficient for each to be a price-taker. In contrast to some mining activities where large firms dominate, size is not necessarily an advantage in storage operations. In contrast to many types of agricultural production where single-family farms are the dominant form, there are no great advantages to owner operation of storage facilities. Monitoring of managerial agents by owners is relatively easy since unsatisfactory management of the physical stocks cannot be obscured by the vagaries of the natural environment. Hence, it is reasonable to assume that ownership of stocks can be sufficiently diversified for their managers to be taken to behave in a risk-neutral fashion. Thus, in this chapter we specify the competitive equilibrium resulting from the decisions of many risk-neutral, price-taking storers.
Exercises concerned with deducing and studying competitive equilibria are the bread and butter of economists. With storage, however, a four-course banquet is a better analogy:
Aggregate storage cannot be negative: As a result, in any particular period the whole storage industry may not be in operation.
Because the problem involves uncertainty, the way in which expectations are generated is important; in equilibrium, “rational” expectations would be forward-looking, internally consistent expectations.

Most people feel sure that storage monopolization reduces their welfare, but they generally have no clear perception of why or of how a storage monopolist behaves. For example, in times of shortage, observers often jump to the conclusion that a storage monopoly involves excessive withholding of supplies from the market, that is, storing too much. But Adam Smith (1784) found the answer. If the monopoly is truly over storage, as when someone holds a patent for warehousing technology, too little is stored. Abnormal profits cannot be earned by buying up the current availability and holding it off the market.
Confusion comes from imprecision in the scope of the monopolist. Is the monopoly power over storage specifically or over all current and prospective supplies? Monopoly over all distribution such that consumers could buy solely from one party (as in Kennedy 1979) is a different matter entirely from a monopolist over the storage technology alone. Here in Section 11.1 we examine a monopolist over distribution. In Section 11.2 we examine the distinctly different subject of a monopoly over storage technology alone.
Control of storage is likely to be a side issue if one party controls the whole distribution of the crop and is free to charge each period what the traffic will bear. A firm with a monopoly over distribution would want to restrict its sales each period to an amount where demand becomes elastic. If supplies received are excessive, destruction may be much the most effective method.

Summary
During the oppressive heat and dryness in grain-producing regions of the United States in the summer of 1988, many believed in the arrival of the “greenhouse effect.” The grain markets, more dispassionate than journalists, seem not to have given much credence to the cries of alarm over the possibility of long-run global warming and environmental degradation. If the typical weather were known to be ever worsening, the prices of corn and soybeans for delivery in later cropyears would be above the price for delivery in 1988. The actual price pattern was one in which the quoted price for delivery after the harvest of 1989 was not far above the average over the previous decade. Specifically, on May 1, 1988, during planting and before any indications of severe drought, the price of soybeans on the Chicago Board of Trade for delivery in July 1988 was $6,985 per bushel; the November 1988 contract, the first delivery month for the crop that would suffer from the weather, was $7,135. The November 1989 contract was not yet traded, but based on other contracts one can infer that it would have had a price in the range of $7.30 to $7.40. On June 22, 1988, soybean prices were near their peak, as a result of the poor weather (and prospects for more of the same). On that day, the price for July 1988 delivery was $10,545, an increase of 50 percent from May 1. Although the price for November 1988 delivery was up by a similar percentage, the November 1989 contract was trading for $7.55, an increase of 3 percent at most.

Summary
Markets for storable commodities are often subject to public interventions in the name of market stabilization, including price supports, price ceilings, prohibitions on private hoarding, marketing boards, and production controls. Often such measures are really designed to redistribute income among producers, consumers, and the public treasury by raising or lowering mean price. Others, however, are plausibly aimed at stabilization, because they do not directly interfere with sales to consumers when price is around its mean level.
Even those interventions ostensibly for stabilization can result in substantial transfers between risk-neutral consumers and producers. Indeed, they can change mean price. Hence, consumers and producers need not be risk averse with respect to fluctuations in income to be affected by market-stabilizing interventions. Also, if there is a complete and otherwise undistorted set of markets, a market-stabilizing intervention causes a social deadweight loss; the degree of instability resulting from undistorted private storage is optimal given the cost of storage. Thus, for any market-stabilizing intervention there are questions about its allocative and welfare effects.
Types of market-stabilizing price supports
Three common types of scheme aimed at keeping the price paid to producers at or above a support level are distinguished by the method of market intervention. In one, the government pays producers deficiency payments, which consist of the difference, if positive, between a “target price” PD and the market price Pt paid by consumers in period t. Under this scheme, the producer price = Max[Pt,PD]. In another type of scheme the government itself stores the commodity.

Summary
Prices, consumption, and production are all profoundly affected by the presence of competitive storage, both at one moment in time and over time. The “equilibrium rules” for competitive storage and planned production reveal how the various endogenous variables are related at one moment in time, whereas the long-run probability distributions of the endogenous variables characteristic of the stochastic steady state reveal much about the implications of these rules over time. The first two sections of this chapter consider these two subjects in detail for the “base case” set of parameters introduced above in Section 2.4. Implicit in the discussion of long-run distributions are the characteristics of the sequential equilibria emphasized in that section. Also investigated in this chapter, in the final three sections, is the sensitivity of these aspects of storage behavior to the shapes of the underlying supply and demand curves, storage cost function, and the probability distribution of the weather. In a sense, the numerical sensitivity analysis amounts to examining the reduced-form equations as functions of the parameters representing these underlying functions, in lieu of any analytical representation.
Characteristics of storage rules
In Figure 4.1 are plotted the relationships between equilibrium storage or planned production and current availability, seen previously as Figures 2.3 and 2.4. Here they are shown on one diagram to emphasize their connections. The specific parameters were a linear demand curve with elasticity ηd = -0.2, a supply elasticity ηS = 0.5, marginal physical storage costs k = $2, a per-period interest rate r = 5 percent, and a standard deviation of normally distributed yields equal to 10 percent of planned production.

Summary
This chapter examines public policies sensibly designed to augment private storage thought to be inadequate because of some distortion. The public interventions examined in the two previous chapters are modeled as interventions in a first-best world of optimal rational storage. Judged from the perspective of total social welfare, not one of those price-support programs can be defended, because they cause a social deadweight loss. The public policies we consider in this chapter can make positive contributions to social welfare because existing private storage is suboptimal for some other reason. Moreover, these public policies can be ranked by their contribution to social welfare.
A good example of a policy aimed at supplementing private storage is the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) housed in the salt domes of Louisiana. Supporters of the SPR argue that the U.S. economy is extremely exposed to supply interruptions on the part of nefarious exporters because domestic oil companies have too little incentive to store. Reasons offered include the effects of price controls on the profits from storage, macroeconomic repercussions not considered by an individual firm, and appeals to national security.
Similar intentions to increase the size and effectiveness of shared reserves are embodied in the rules of the International Energy Agency (IEA), a consortium of twenty-one industrial countries. Although Smith (1988) worries about the mismatch between the IEA's actions and goals, the agency has devised complex oil-sharing plans, imposed policies of demand restraint, and required its members to have at least a ninety-day supply of crude oil and products in store.

Summary
Had this book been written some centuries ago, it would have carried one of those leisurely titles that made authors' prefaces unnecessary. Someone might well have called it The Stockpiler's Preceptor: or, A Compleat Theory of Rational, Aggregate, Interperiod Storage. Containing a true Account of the Effects of Storage upon the Sequence of Prices & Production of Commodities. To which are added, divers & useful Applications of the aforesaid Theory to Inventories of raw Material, Monopoly, Interactions with Trade, publick Interventions, &c. &c. But brevity in book titles has since become a virtue, so a word to the reader about our intentions seems advisable here. Our focus is on a multiperiod model of the competitive equilibrium resulting from riskneutral, forward-looking storers. Although our stylized commodity is most obviously identified with agricultural products, the theory is sufficiently general to offer insights into metals and petroleum as well. We emphasize the behavior of marketwide inventories, at which level price and new production are also endogenous. Our model presents the “first-best” reaction to the continual social uncertainty of unalterable, unpredictable weather or similar exogenous shocks. Rational storage cannot eliminate the effects of these periodic shocks but it can modify them.
We believe it necessary to understand the allocative and welfare effects of idealized competitive storage for an idealized commodity in an idealized market that clears every period before one attempts an analysis of more realistic and more complex situations. Specifically, the dynamic sequence of equilibria must be understood before one can analyze possible disequilibria.

Summary
The long-run distributions discussed in Chapter 4 can be imagined as frequency distributions from extremely long time series. Indeed, that is how they were produced. Nevertheless, there is a second way to conceive of and to deduce the stochastic steady state of a system. The stochastic steady state is the probability distribution for a single period some time in the distant future, viewed from the perspective of the current period. One can imagine from the perspective of the current period the probability distribution of, say, consumption period by period into the future. For a nonstorable commodity, the exercise is trivial. Because each future period is just like any other from the perspective of period t, the probability distribution of consumption in period t+ 1 is identical to that in period t + 2, and so on, and also identical to the distribution that would emerge from a long time series. For a storable commodity, however, the probability distributions for the next few periods (t+ 1, t+ 2, etc.) will be sensitive to conditions in period t. Eventually, the distribution for some period ahead, perhaps eight periods ahead, will be nearly the same as that for the previous one (period t + 7) regardless of the initial conditions. That distribution approximates the steady-state distribution.
The focus of the present chapter is understanding the process of convergence to the invariant steady-state distributions as a function of the initial conditions.
