Zur Analyse des Antwortverhaltens bei einer groß angelegten Haushaltsbefragung wurde ein geo-demographisches Codierungssystem eingesetzt. Damit lag ein Indikator des Antwortverhaltens vor, der auf Größen außerhalb der betreffenden Befragung basierte. Auf der Basis der durch die geo-demographische Codierung zur Verfügung gestellten Informationen ist eine Beschreibung der Antwortverweigerer möglich. Diese Informationen lassen sich auch zur Beseitigung von Problemen bei der Feldarbeit einsetzen. (ICEÜbers)

"This report examines the use of intellectual property rights in Federal technology transfer, focusing primarily on the Agricultural Research Service (ARS). ARS uses patenting and licensing when a technology requires additional development by a private sector partner to yield a marketable product. Licensing revenue is not a major motivation. Greater use of patenting and licensing by ARS has not reduced the use of traditional instruments of technology transfer such as scientific publication. The structure of licensing agreements affects technology transfer outcomes. Mutually advantageous revisions to license terms may at times maintain the incentives through which private companies distribute the benefits of public research." ---Taken from website. ; ERR15 ; Cover title. ; Bibliography on pg. ?. ; "This report examines the use of intellectual property rights in Federal technology transfer, focusing primarily on the Agricultural Research Service (ARS).

In the last ten years, there has been a resurgence of interest in repression and violence within states. Paths to State Repression improves our understanding of why states use political repression, highlighting its relationship to dissent and mass protest. The authors draw upon a wide variety of political-economic contexts, methodological approaches, and geographic locales, including Cuba, Nicaragua, Peru, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Israel, Eastern Europe, and Africa.

NPS NRP Executive Summary ; Project Summary: Using a series of campaign analyses, wargaming, systems analysis studies, and systems engineering, this research analyzes the offensive effectiveness of an adaptive force package (AFP) composed of an AMERICA class amphibious assault ship (LHA) equipped with the Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter STOVL Variant aircraft (F-35B), unmanned air and surface platforms, and various numbers of Guided Missile Destroyers (DDGs) and littoral combat ships (LCSs). Offensive anti-surface warfare (ASUW) is the focused mission area, however, increased vulnerability to the LHA is also explored. Emerging themes and findings include the following. Augmented by the Marine Corps Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Expeditionary Experimental tiltrotor system (MUX), the LHA Air Combat Element (ACE) adds significant intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and communications relay capability to a traditional surface action group. The air combat element (ACE)'s F- 35B can add a robust anti-ship cruise missile (ASCM) and ISR capabilities to a traditional surface action group. To best be configured for a sea control mission including air defense, the ACE on the LHA will need to be augmented with additional F-35Bs at a significant cost to rotary-wing/tiltrotor assault-support lift. ; OPNAV N96Z Warfare Systems ; NPS-18-N174-A ; Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
