They can be used to answer questions of "how much" or "how many".
Such methods can be used to answer difficult normative questions about welfare tradeoffs that are important for policy decisions.
Here we present a synthesis of how these genetic tools have been, and could be, used to answer questions directly relevant to aspen ecology and management.

Decision makers need to know whether a model is a sufficiently good representation of its real counterpart and what criteria can be used to answer this question.
Called secure multiparty computation, it could be used to answer questions about data from many sources without exposing data from one source to another.
But this typically does not describe the findings of the research, and so cannot be used to answer questions about policy (see 'Review or map?').
We survey some questions that researchers have been asking about tractography data and show how our system can be used to answer these questions efficiently.
I'll then show that these same results can be used to answer open problems in mechanics, such as determining when a helical rod becomes unstable.
