Primate conservation—new reports from the field

Introduction to the Reports from the Field Minitrack

There is no dearth of Knowledge Management theory and associated research; numerous journals focus exclusively on the topic, and several information systems-oriented conferences feature KMS-specific tracks. There is also an active practitioner base of knowledge workers who develop, implement, manage, and use knowledge management systems. As with many areas in information systems, there is often...

The neoliberal university and agricultural biotechnology: Reports from the field

Following in the footsteps of a variety of previous research that elaborates on the current state of affairs in academia, this article sets out the argument that neoliberalism and its corresponding iterations of science and technology and research funding policies in this country have implications for the types of knowledge that can be generated within and communicated without contemporary inst...

Receptive field structure in the primate retina

This review summarizes recent work relevant to receptive field structure of cells of the parvocellular (PC) and (MC) magnocellular pathways in the primate. In the PC-pathway, recent data suggest that different color- and cone-opponent ganglion cells make up specific anatomical classes with specific cone connectivities and bipolar cell input. For example, blue-on ganglion cells have been identif...

Response: Magnetic Field Reports

Results from National Toxicology Program draft reports on carcinogenesis and promotion of 60-Hz magnetic fields (1,2) are a mixed bag of apparent effects in some cases and no effects in other cases. The studies were carried out, apparently, with the intent to provide information that can be used in making health policy for humans. I contend that these studies cannot be used for this purpose bec...
