Public/private alliances
(AgBioForum, 1999)
The traditional research paradigm represents discoveries flowing linearly from basic science conducted in public institutions to applied research and commercialization undertaken largely by private industry. This ...
Are research alliances between private firms and land grant universities compatible with the original purpose?
(AgBioForum, 1999)
Increased collaboration between private firms and State Agricultural Experiment Stations (SAES) raises fears that the independence, objectivity, and credibility of SAES and their scientists may be compromised. Likewise, ...
The agricultural knowledge system : appropriate roles and interactions for the public and private sectors
(AgBioForum, 1999)
For over one hundred years, Land Grant Universities (LGUs) have pushed the frontiers of knowledge; have translated new knowledge into practice for the benefit of farmers, agribusiness and consumers; and have prepared the ...
The changing agricultural research environment : what does it mean for public-private innovation?
(AgBioForum, 1999)
Agricultural research has experienced increased industry spending and public-private collaborations. Private incentives for public goods research are limited. Public-private ventures can foster socially beneficial research. ...
Partnerships between public and private : the experience of the Cooperative Research Center for Plant Science in Australia
(AgBioForum, 1999)
We discuss an innovative scheme, the Cooperative Research Centers Program, established by the Australian government in 1991, which has a major objective of delivering research output of direct benefit to Australian industries. ...
Public science, biotechnology, and the industrial organization of agrofood systems
(AgBioForum, 1999)
Concentration in the agricultural biotechnology sector and general patterns of restructuring raise important policy questions regarding public investments in research and extension. We argue that the most valuable contributions ...
Exploring the public's role in agricultural biotechnology research
(AgBioForum, 1999)
The potential for market failure resulting from under-investment in research is onejustification for public agricultural research. This justification seems less germane given recent developments regarding intellectual ...
Balancing basic, genetic enhancement and cultivar development research in an evolving US plant germplasm system
(AgBioForum, 1999)
The structure of the United States (U.S.) public-private plant genetic research system is being transformed by the emergence of practical biotechnology protocols for creating transgenic plants; and by strengthened intellectual ...
The diagnosis of a pre-blocking explosively-developing extratropical cyclone system

This paper examines the 24-h explosive development periods of two extratropical cyclones, the first occurring over the Gulf Stream off the coast of New England from 18 to 19 January 1979 and the second occurring over the ...
Climatological features of blocking anticyclones: a study of Northern Hemisphere CCM1 model blocking events in present-day and double CO2 concentration atmospheres
(Springer-Verlag, 1997)
Using output made with the National Center
for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model Version 1 (CCM1), the characteristics of blocking events over the Northern Hemisphere in a ten-year present
day control ...
Climatological Features of blocking anticyclones in the Northern Hemisphere
(Munksgaard, 1994)
Blocking anticyclones have long been of interest to the atmospheric science community because of their profound effect on local and regional climates. Previous climatologies of blocking anticyclones have been performed ...
A View of GMOs from the UK
(AgBioForum, 1998)
At the present time, the genetically modified organism (GMO) issue is rapidly emerging as the next big theme in European food production post-BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). The key question in this context is the ...
What's in a Label?
(AgBioForum, 1998)
We believe that any labeling statements must be capable of verification and enforcement. Appropriately validated detection methods will be critical when labeling is required. While there may well be a place for products ...
The Effect of the Designated Hitter Rule on Hit Batsmen: Pitcher's Moral Hazard or the Team's Cost-Benefit Calculation?: A Comment
(Oxford University Press, 1998-10)
Goff, Shughart and Tollison [1997] attribute the American League's higher hit-batsman rate since 1973 to moral hazard: pitchers who no longer bat no longer face retaliation. We argue that retaliation is more efficiently ...
