چکیده
The survey and research programs of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, require collection and processing of data from a variety of sources: paper questionnaires, CATI and CAPI instruments, even remotely sensed satellite data and digital map data. To manage the analysis and dissemination of these data NASS staff use a wide variety of computing systems, from PCs to workstations to mainframes and supercomputers. A description of current research projects that use these different systems is the topic of this paper. The future directions indicated by our research are also presented.

متن کاملRecord Linkage I: Evaluation of Commercially Available Record Linkage Software for Use in NASS
Record linkage is an important technique in NASS for minimizing the presence of duplicate names on its list sampling frame of farm operators and agribusinesses. In the late 1970' s, NASS developed an automated record linkage system which runs on an IBM mainframe for this purpose. With changes in technology, the need has arisen for portability between platforms, integration with client/server te...
متن کاملIncidence and Risk of Direct Steering Wheel Impact in Vehicles Equipped with Advanced Air Bags
Despite the widespread availability of airbags and a belt use rate of over 85%, U.S. drivers involved in crashes continue to be at risk of serious thoracic injury. One hypothesis is that this risk may be due to the lack of airbag deployment or the airbag ‘bottoming-out’ in some cases. The objective of this study is to determine the incidence and thoracic injury risk of direct steering wheel con...
متن کاملPolymerized rodlike nanoparticles with controlled surface charge density.
Stable rodlike nanoparticles with highly controlled surface charge density have been developed by the free radical polymerization of the mixture of polymerizable cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium 4-vinylbenzoate (CTVB), and hydrotropic salt sodium 4-styrenesulfonate (NaSS) in aqueous solution. The surface charge of the polymerized CTVB/NaSS rodlike nanoparticles was controlled by vary...
