The purpose of this study, to examine the relevance of U.S.
graduate education in agriculture to careers in agricultural
development of East African agriculturalists, was examined in
terms of three problems:
Problem 1: Was U.S. graduate education in agriculture
relevant to careers in agricultural development of East
African agriculturalists?
Problem...
It is difficult to build intelligent computer-aided design (ICAD) programs using available expert system shells and AI programming languages. To build ICAD programs, tools are needed that support (a) generative search of design spaces, (b) deep search of design spaces to evaluate alternative designs, (c) simultaneous exploration of alternative designs...
This paper presents the initial results from an empirical study of mechanical design engineers. In this study, six engineers were video-taped solving real mechanical design problems. Preliminary analysis of this protocol data has yielded several important findings, including (a) mechanical designers progress from systematic to opportunistic behavior as the design...
Within a decade, the amount of raw data acquired each day by satellite -based instrumentation will exceed 1 terabyte (10¹² bytes). Virtually all quantitative data acquired about the Earth is useful [10]. Processing the raw data into useful information will be an enormous task . Much of the current data...
This report reviews the 31 papers on machine learning that were presented at the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI-85) held in Los Angeles during August, 1985. The papers are grouped according to a taxonomy of the various subareas of machine learning research. The areas receiving the most...

Farmers and nonfarmers, 500 in each group, were interviewed faceto-face concerning knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and assessments of soil erosion on their farm or in the immediate area of their farm. The sample was divided equally between the Willamette Valley and the Columbia Basin, representing two distinctly different climatic and sociographic...
