Econom. Policy 8 (1996) 75] to determine if the information pooling arrangement mandated by The Livestock Mandatory Reporting Act of 1999 in the US is collusive. Using cattle slaughter data from the five regions (Texas–Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and Iowa–Minnesota) used by the US Department of Agriculture to report the information, we find information pooling to be non-collusive in Nebraska and neutral in the rest of the regions. One plausible explanation for the result is the linkage between the structure of the cattle-feeding industry, frequency of cattle marketing, and availability of information before and after the Act.

Its potential use for articular chondrocytes encapsulation and cartilage reconstructive surgery applications has been studied. The hydrogel combines the ability of alginate to act as a 3D supporting structure with the capability of the second component (chitlac) to provide interactions with porcine articular chondrocytes. Physico-chemical characterization of the scaffold was accomplished by gel kinetics and compression measurements and demonstrated that alginate-chitlac mixture (AC-mixture) hydrogels exhibit better mechanical properties when compared with sole alginate hydrogels. Furthermore, biochemical and biological studies showed that these 3D scaffolds are able to maintain chondrocyte phenotype and particularly to significantly stimulate and promote chondrocyte growth and proliferation. In conclusion, the present study can be considered as a first step towards an engineered, biologically active scaffold for chondrocyte in vitro cultivation, expansion, and cell delivery.
