It is important to avoid misallocation of resources for either
private or public production. Misallocation in public programs
can result from failure to employ resources in h:igh priority uses
or to eliminate programs that have become obsolete. This study
evaluates the benefits and costs of the continuing public program
aimed...
The purpose of this study is to show costs and returns that might have prevailed from 1956 through 1963 for commercial beef cattle fattening operations in Wasco and Sherman Counties in particular and in Oregon in general. This information is designed to show probable net returns and how they varied...
Medication error rates have long been a subject of interest
among the pharmaceutical, nursing, and medical professions. The
basic purpose of medication error studies has been to discover the
quantity and type of errors which exist, thus enabling the investigator
to evaluate the relative safety of various drug distribution
systems...
Temporal variations in individual spectrum lines
emitted by a microwave discharge in pure helium are
investigated: The discharge is produced in a quartz tube
located inside of a section of waveguide which carries
pulsed 3 centimeter microwaves. The helium used is purified by a three-fold process consisting of treatment with...
Effective two-body interactions were obtained from
realistic nucleon-nucleon potentials and applications made
in calculations of ground state properties of even-even N=Z light nuclei. The admixture of high momentum states into
the nuclear wavefunction caused by the strong, short-range
repulsion of the two-nucleon force was taken into account
by making a...
Capture fisheries can potentially provide a wide range of social benefits, many of which make important contributions to local livelihoods and national economies. However, in practice, and in many representations of fisheries, the starting point for assessment is the biological, fish, element of the system and its production potential. The benefits...

There has been a long-standing interest in local knowledge in fisheries research and management. Much of this interest has been in terms of how local knowledge can be interpreted scientifically and used by fisheries experts and managers. Local knowledge becomes the property of scientists, wrapped up in a format and...
