Unlike Water, Money Can Flow Upstream and New Food Systems Will Make It Happen
(AgBioForum, 1998)
New (modified grain) technologies and systems are driving the transformation of the supply-driven commodity market to a demand-driven customized product market. It is argued that this transformation will result in a flow ...
Should Use of Genetically Modified Organisms Be Labeled?
(AgBioForum, 1998)
Consumers are increasingly considering information on how foods are produced in making their buying decisions leading producers, processors, and retailers to do the same. Federal and state governments, as well as international ...
Spectrum, volume 23, number 07

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 ...
Childbirth Education
(Center for Family Policy & Research, 1999)
Although there are many types of prepared childbirth classes that teach the skills of birth utilizing many different techniques and philosophies, the goals of these classes are essentially the same--to have a happy, healthy, ...
A Diagnosis of the Explosive Development of Two Extratropical Cyclones
(American Meteorological Society, 1992-08)
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 ...

Data Input
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)
A need exists to have tools to transform spatial data of various types into digital format. Data input is a major bottleneck in
application of GIS technology. The costs of input often consume 80% or more of project cost. ...
Data Source Evaluation
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)
This presentation looks at different types of socio-economic data, including disaggregated Data (data about individuals or single entities) and aggregated data (data consisting of a group of observations with the grouping ...
Vector GIS
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)
The Vector Data Model of GIS is based on vectors (as opposed to space occupancy raster structures). Its fundamental primitive is a point. Objects are created by connecting points with straight lines. Some systems allow ...
Spatial Databases as Models of Reality
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)
The real world is too complex for our immediate and direct understanding. We create “models” of reality that are intended
to have some similarity with selected aspects of the real world. Databases are created from these ...
An Analysis of a Relatively Rare Case of Continental Blocking
(Jon Wiley and Sons, 1999-01)
A planetary and synoptic-scale analysis of a relatively rare continental blocking event that occurred over North America during the spring of 1980 are undertaken to determine whether or not this event was different from ...
A Diagnosis of Two Blocking Events That Occurred Simultaneously in the Midlatitude Northern Hemisphere
(American Meteorological Society, 1997-08)
Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System-1 analyses, the horizontal distribution of atmospheric forcing processes involved in the growth, maintenance, and decay of two Northern
Hemisphere ...
The Interactions between a Midlatitude Blocking Anticyclone and Synoptic-Scale Cyclones That Occurred during the Summer Season
(American Meteorological Society, 1998-02)
Using the Goddard Laboratory for Atmospheres Goddard Earth Observing System 5-yr analysis and the Zwack-Okossi equation as the diagnostic tool, the horizontal distribution of the dynamic and thermodynamic forcing processes ...
Data Discovery and the NSDI Framework Data Survey
(Missouri Spatial Data Information Service, 1999)
This presentation provides background on the use of FGDC-style metadata for Clearinghouse Development, and provides managers and users with guidance on the use of the Clearinghouse to find spatial data. A Clearinghouse ...
State Bodies
