Economic theorists have proposed that the problems created
by a Pareto-relevant externality may be solved by market transactions
between the involved parties. These market transactions would allow
realization of the potential gains from trade which characterize a
Pareto-relevant externality. After all potential gains from trade had
been realized, a Pareto-efficient...

During Pliocene time a cluster of basaltic and basaltic andesite shield volcanoes was built in the
Three Sisters region. Included in this cluster are the North Sister, Little Brother, Husband, Wife,
Sphinx and Broken Top, the radial dikes and conduit fillings of which have been laid bare by
glacial erosion....
Procedures were developed for assaying the biosynthesis of (-)-
kaurene-¹⁴C and other intermediates in gibberellin (GA) synthesis
from mevalonic acid-¹⁴C in cell-free enzyme extracts of immature
pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. Alaska) seeds. This system was utilized
to investigate three aspects of GA biosynthesis: (1) apparent capacities
for (-)-kaurene biosynthesis...
Child care stability affects child and family outcomes. Stability reflects the time dimension of a child care arrangement. Although stability does not guarantee positive outcomes, instability appears to decrease the likelihood of achieving them. Some level of stability is a necessary, although not sufficient, characteristic of care that meets children's...
Front line staff members in youth correctional facilities are generally the primary adults in the lives of incarcerated young people. In many ways, they serve as surrogate parents who may promote positive development while holding delinquent youth accountable for their actions. They accomplish these often conflicting goals through the provision...
Modern agricultural erosion was studied using ¹³⁷Cs from
fallout as an indicator of erosion/deposition. The study area was a
285 ha agricultural watershed in the hilly western margin of the
Willamette Valley, a high winter rainfall zone in which fall-planted
crops are commonly grown.
Objectives of the study were (i)...
