Patterns of Public-Sector and Private-Sector Patenting in Agricultural Biotechnology
(AgBioForum, 2005)
. Universities have increased patenting in agricultural biotechnology particularly rapidly, and they now hold a greater proportion of agricultural biotechnology patents than they do of patents in general. Private firms tend to dominate patenting in plant...
The Presentation of Temperature Information in Television Broadcasts: What is Normal?
(National Weather Association, 2003-12)
In a typical weather broadcast, observed daily temperature information such as maximum
and minimum temperatures are shown and compared to the daily average or “normal”. Such information, however, does not accurately ...
The Identity Crisis of a Roman Empress
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Museum of Art and Archaeology, 2002)
Using the monthly classification of global SSTs and 500 HPA height to predict temperature and precipitation regimes one to two season in advance for the Mid-Mississippi Region
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
to the local and regional media as well as the agricultural communities in the mid- Mississippi River Valley. A simple forecast verification scheme was borrowed and used to score the long range forecasts, and skill scores were used to compare and evaluate...

"The image of the Nuremberg artist Albrecht D�rer with a mane of long curly hair is internationally recognizable. Its place in the collective consciousness of the Western world has been years in the making, beginning with self-portraits produced...
The Interannual variability of hurricane activity in the Atlantic and east pacific regions
(National Weather Association, 2008-07)
to be weaker than during a neutral year or a La Niña year, but these conclusions were opposite in the Eastern Pacific Ocean Basin. There were also significant differences found in hurricane intensity between El Niño and La Niña years when the PDO was in phase 1...

This issue of eMedRef provides information to clinicians on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of ectopic pregnancy.
The Estimated Economic Impact of Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin on New York Dairy Farms for the Years 2994 through 1997
(AgBioForum, 2001)
Data from New York dairy farms for the years 1994 through 1997 were used to estimate whether recombinant bovine Somatotropin (rbST) generated profits for adopters. Results show that the estimated profit impact of rbST, ...
Peaks, Cliffs, and Valleys: The Peculiar Incentives in Teacher Retirement Systems and Their Consequences for School Staffing

This article examines the pattern of incentives for work versus retirement in six state teacher pension systems. We do this by examining the annual accrual of pension wealth from an additional year of work over a teacher's career. Accrual of wealth...
Agricultural Biotechnology and Industry Structure
(AgBioForum, 2001)
In the last ten years the seed and pesticide industries have undergone a substantial number of structural changes. These changes are due to a number of factors, some of which are common to all industries and some of which are specifically tied...
Post-Newtonian Reference Frames for Advanced Theory of the Lunar Motion and a New Generation of Lunar Laser Ranging
(arXiv, 2009)
We construct a set of post-Newtonian reference frames for a comprehensive study of the orbital dynamics and rotational motion of Moon and Earth by means of lunar laser ranging (LLR) with the precision of one millimeter. We work in the framework of a...
An Anatomy of a Cartel: The National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 and the Compliance Crisis of 1934
(Research in Economic History, 2008)

Interannual and interdecadal variability in the predominant Pacific region SST anomaly patterns and their impact on climate in the mid-Mississippi valley region
(Centro Ciencias Atmosfera UNAM, 2007-02)
Previous research has demonstrated that Pacific Region SSTs and SST anomalies can be separated into seven general synoptic classifications (“clusters”) (A-G). Clusters B and G (C, D, and F) [A and E] were shown to be generally representative of La...
