The purpose of this study was to examine the job-related
expenditures of female household heads. Also examined were levels
of education, occupations, presence of dependent children, employment

Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDD's) and
dibenzofurans (PCDF's) are environmental pollutants associated with the production and use of a number of industrial
chemicals. In addition, PCDD's and PCDF's are produced
during low temperature combustion of wastes containing
polyvinylchloride (PVC), chlorophenols, and a number of
other chemical precursors.
A significant source of environmental...
Multiple linear regression was used to develop equations for 12-,
24-, and 36-hour surface wind forecasts for the wind energy site at
Goodnoe Hills. Equations were derived separately for warm and cool
seasons. The potential predictors included LFM II model output, MOS
surface wind forecasts extrapolated from surrounding stations, pressure...
