Integrated Pest Management Measurement Systems Workshop - Reus Paper   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) The environmental yardstick for pesticides is a tool for farmers to assess the adverse environmental impacts of their pesticide use. In 1997 a separate yardstick for pesticide use in greenhouses was developed, financed by the Duthc Ministry for the Environment and the farmers organization. The yardstick is being used as an advising tool for farmers, as an instrument to develop standards for green labeling and as an instrument for policy evaluation. www.aftresearch.org /researchresource/wp/sp98-1/ipmreus.htm   (1502 words)

The Amazing Balancing Yardstick   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) Hold the yardstick between two outstretched fingers as shown in the illustration. The object of this experiment is to move one finger towards the center of the yardstick until the yardstick loses its balance and tips over. When you slowly move one finger towards the center of gravity the yardstick begins to tip towards that finger because that finger is nearer the center of gravity. www.childrensmuseumkfalls.150m.com /Activities/yardstick/balancingyardstick.html   (233 words)

Measuring Slope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) Hold the yardstick tight to the end of the level (the end is square so that the level and yardstick are at right angles.) For instance, if you measured 15 inches with the yardstick, then the slope is 15 ÷ 3 = 5 inches per foot - a typical value - also termed "5 on 12" or "5/12". A yardstick is easier to use than a tape - its rigidity will make it a little easier to "fumble around with two loose sticks" while you're adjusting both tools. www.primeshop.com /slope.htm   (339 words)

Household Science for Kids: Air Pressur Place a thin yardstick on a flat table with a little less than half of it hanging off of the edge of the table (see the drawing below). When you break the yardstick above, you are able to break it because of that 'heavy' air pushing down on the paper while you quickly strike the yardstick. Not much mess, but you need to be careful not to use too thick of a yardstick, it should be about 1/8 of an inch thick, but not more. www.fatlion.com /science/airpressure.html   (533 words)

Universal quantification for deterministic chaos in dynamical systems It is seen that the yardstick length R and the corresponding number of units of computation W follow the Fibonacci mathematical number series. units of discrete yardstick length dR, which represents the uncertainty in initial conditions, i.e., the error generated by assuming that the minimum separation distance between two arbitrarily close points is equal to dR. The universal quantification of the round-off error structure growth described in this paper is independent of the magnitude of the roud-off error, the time and space increments, and the details of the nonlinear differential equations and, therefore, is universally applicable for all computed model dynamical systems. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/Lab/5833/applmath1/amselvam1993.html   (5129 words)

[Gs-devel] Re: compilers as the warnings yardstick Also, it tends to give the same diagnostics on each platform, so it is not a good test of portability.

EconPapers: Yardstick Competition and Political Agency Problems   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15) Abstract: This paper analyzes the role of yardstick competition for improving political decisions.

We find a general neutrality result: yardstick competition does not affect the chance that at least one type of politician in one jurisdiction will take inefficient decision, nor does it affect the risk of underproviding good programmes. econpapers.repec.org /paper/qmwqmwecw/wp441.htm   (234 words)
