The Effects of Gender and Self Construal on Perception of Racism

When looking into the idea of if one\u27s gender and their self-construal has an effect on how they perceive racism, we hypothesize that women will take a more interdependent self-construal and men will take a more independent self-construal. Based on how they identify, we believe that those in the interdependent condition will perceive more racism and those in the independent condition will perceive less racism

Laboratory spectroscopy in support of atmospheric measurements

Optical measurements of trace species in the atmosphere require precise, accurate spectroscopic data for the molecules under study. This laboratory exits to provide high quality spectroscopic data for the interpretation of data from existing satellite, balloon, ground, and aircraft instruments, as well as to provide sufficient data to assess the feasibility of new instruments

Ground-based lidar measurements of stratospheric ozone. The NASA/GSFC stratospheric ozone lidar trailer experiment STROZ LITE

The major research objective is the measurement of high precision vertical profiles of ozone between 20-40 kilometers. The precision is such that the instrument should be capable of detecting a small trend (on the order of less that 1 percent per year) over a 5-10 year period. Temperature was measured between 30 and 365 km. The Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) mobile lidar was installed at Table Mountain and a comparison between it and the permanent Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) lidar was made over the course of about 3 weeks. The lidars agreed very well between 20 and 40 km, and under certain conditions up to 45-47 km. There were several anomalies that both lidars followed very well. Agreement with Rocket Ozonesonde (ROCOZ) and electrochemical concentration cell (ECC) sondes was also very good

Brief of Law Professors as Amicus Curiae in Support of Respondent

Inventors lacking assurance of a market, or even the right to practice patented inventions, face considerable risk. Those who qualify for patents, in return for disclosure, receive only the assistance of the courts in excluding others from economic exploitation of their inventions. Already subject to many legislative and judicial limitations, patents should not be further subject to the functional equivalent of private inverse condemnation without congressional action

PRODUCER ACCEPTANCE OF A NEW PEANUT MARKETING COOPERATIVE: A SURVEY OF GEORGIA PEANUT PRODUCERS

Market conduct has become an important issue for peanut farmers. Consolidation in the first buyer market, increased imports, and political uncertainty have increased peanut producers' marketing risks. The purpose of this paper was to examine demographic differences in peanut producers' perceptions of the current marketing environment as well as their attitudes towards new marketing institutions. A standard t-test revealed that producers growing more than 250 acres of peanuts, irrigating at least 50 percent of their peanuts, and producers located in Southwest Georgia were statistically more dissatisfied with the current marketing environment and significantly more receptive to forming a new generation peanut cooperative.Agribusiness, Crop Production/Industries,
