It is a great honor to be invited to contribute to the first issue of the Journal of the Iranian Statistical Society. May the Journal and those associated with it have great success in attaining its goals and in furthering the progress of statistical science. While there has been worldwide recognition of the important role that statistics and statisticians play in producing progress in science ...

Sounds from a U.S. Navy SSQ-110A source are received at high signal-to-noise ratios at ocean-basin scales at two Sound Surveillance Systems in the Pacific. The sounds have sufficient pulse resolution to study climatic variations of temperature. The acoustic data can be understood using ray and parabolic approximations to the wave equation. Modeled internal waves decrease pulse resolution from 0...

A Research Committee was established by the Weed Science Society of America to outline the direction of weed science research during the next decade. Weeds adversely affect humans in both agricultural and nonagricultural environments. It is the opinion of the research committee that weed science will be advantageously positioned for the future if research focuses on research decision processes,...

in this paper we set out to accomplish several goals. primarily, we seek to re-interpret guy debord’s (1967) work the society of the spectacle in light of modern-day schooling, principally within north america (although we recognize the global connectivity inherent in any current discussion of formal education). in addition, we aim to utilize debord’s conceptualizations as a series of means and...

Water, as portrayed in Goubert's study, strikes me as a quintessential Latourian non-human actor, which was "conquered" and transformed by architects, town planners, engineers, hygienists, physicians, and chemists, but which also made its own "conquest", dramatically changing the scientific and cultural landscape of nineteenthand twentieth-century France. Thus, Goubert argues that a cultural an...
