The wind and thermodynamic fields associated with eastern
Atlantic cloud clusters are studied using radiosonde data from
the Global Atmospheric Research Program Atlantic Tropical Experiment
(GATE). These data are from the gridded set of winds prepared
by Dr. Katsuyuki Ooyama (AOML-NOAA) and Dr. Jan-Hwa Chu
(SSEC, University of Wisconsin, Madison)...
Indirect benefits have a long history in the literature of benefit-cost (B-C) analysis. A commonmeasurement tool for indirect benefits is the Leontief or Input Output Model (I-O), and this paper discussesindirect benefits as if they are identical to I-O analysis. The B-C literature disparages I-O for assessing theeconomic efficiency of...

The purpose of this study was twofold. One purpose
was to investigate the clothing worn by the adult members
of the Wasco and Warm Springs Indians. Six periods of time
were examined:
Period I - 1805-1811
Period II - 1870's-1880's
Period III - 1900-1905
Period IV - 1950's-192-0's
Period 7...
The study determines and compares the characteristics of
innovators (defined as purchasers of wood furniture of similar
line, curve, mass, function, and cost).
Null hypotheses were written predicting that there would be
no difference between innovation in purchase of furniture and age,
creativity, social participation, socio-economic level, exposure
to mass...
The purpose of this study was to examine self-perceived
success as experienced in a learning environment, and its association
with self esteem. The relationships between pretreatment-self
esteem, posttreatment-self esteem, and perceived success experienced
in a five-week clothing construction course were investigated.
Measures of perceived sewing ability, perceived success,
and course...
This study compared two groups of home sewers in relation to
their sewing practices, perceived sewing competence, sex-role
concept, and selected demographic factors. A review of literature
indicated an increase in home sewing that began in the 1960's with
the greater availability of fabrics in a wider range of fibers,...
