“…One obvious advantage of such an approach is connected with the time scales of various accretion phenomena, which are sufficiently short, so as to avoid any major observational bias: the mass accretion rates in CVs, as we already said, range from ∼10 −11 to 10 −8 M yr −1 ; the time scales are from tens of seconds (oscillations in dwarf novae at outbursts) to years (for example, the super-outbursts of SU UMa stars or the long-term variations in VY Scl stars). SS Cygni shows oscillations of ∼10 s both in optical and in X-ray ranges, orbital modulations (P orb 6.6 h) of the intensities of Balmer and UV emission lines and of the continuum, and almost periodic outbursts (P outb ∼ 50 days, Howarth 1978). All these characteristics together with the relative high luminosity both in outburst and in quiescence render SS Cygni the most appropriate laboratory for studying the physical processes occurring in dwarf novae and in CVs in general (see the review by Giovannelli & Martinez-Pais 1991).…”

By using the INES archive of the IUE satellite, we analyzed the spectra of SS Cygni in quiescence in order to determine the value of the reddening of the binary system. The reddening of the system is reported in the literature with values that vary significantly from one another. The results demonstrate that the reddening is comprised by two components: the first, interstellar in origin, with a value E(B − V) = 0.04 ± 0.02 mag, and the second, intrinsic to the binary system, with values up to E(B − V) = 0.16 ± 0.02 mag. The intrinsic value of the reddening is variable along the quiescent phase and with orbital phase.

“…It seemed, indeed, that in the early post-war decades an electoral market was emerging for the farm vote. What particularly worried economic commentators, though, was that the favours politicians were granting were leading to excessive subsidies and market distortions (Gardener, 1979;Howarth, 1969). Economists, as well as some political scientists, therefore, who considered such a response economically irrational sought to scrutinise its political rationality.…”

“…Economists, as well as some political scientists, therefore, who considered such a response economically irrational sought to scrutinise its political rationality. And to do so, they set out to establish the size of the farm vote (Self and Storing, 1962;Howarth, 1969;Benyon and Harrison, 1962;Pennock, 1959). Although there were differences in methodology a number of overlapping points emerged.…”

The Political Power of Farmers: An English Perspective

England has one of the longest histories of industrialisation and urbanisation of any West European country. This has inevitably had a formative influence in the structuring of its social science research. For political scientists it has involved an almost overwhelming concern with urban political systems and industrial cleavages. An analysis of class based voting has been a major focal point with its implicit assumption that any other cleavages based, for example, on religious or regional identities are marginal or atavistic. Certainly there has been little acknowledgement of any significant urban–rural divide. In consequence the study of rural politics has been something of an intellectual backwater and there has been no attempt to define or identify rural politics as an object of study. The blinkered vision of political scientists is disappointing. It unduly ignores a number of studies that have engaged with mainstream debates and frequently made worthwhile contributions, most notably, with reference to the case of agriculture, in the understanding of relations between government and industry (Cox et al, 1986; Grant, 1983). There are also signs that some political scientists are beginning to reject models of national (i.e. urban) voting behaviour and political systems in favour of more spatially sensitive work in which greater prominence is given to regional and local differences (Dunleavy, 1990; Johnston, 1985, 1987; Johnston et al, 1988).

During the 1980s in New Zealand the fabric of state support which had gradually expanded after World War 2 was suddenly removed. Farmers' interest groups found they were unable to influence appreciably the general direction of macroeconomic policy or to contain the influence of deregulationist policies on agriculture. A political economy approach is used to conceptualise and offer preliminary theoretical suggestions about the changing interconnections between economy and state during the present restructuring crisis, especially the need to focus on the disintegration and recomposition of political constituencies and organisations when macropolicy and sectoral frameworks are dismantled. The changing strategies of farmers' interest groups and related agricultural politics amidst an unprecedented episode of state-sector restructuring in New Zealand over the decade are discussed.
