Coordinated risk regulation in advance of product development would encourage America's innovators to more aggressively explore low-risk/high-potential-value terrain while freeing up resources to move dual use oversight into the 21st century.
Based on the average values, terrains underlain by gneisses were characterised by deeper wells with 36.1 m compared to those measured in other terrains with corresponding mean values of 29.3, 27.7 and 25.2 m for wells within amphibolite, migmatite and granite.
Leaving aside the question of what constitutes 'better' in a self-evidently political and therefore value-driven terrain, for researchers to convincingly argue for the increased use of evidence in policy making, they must be able to demonstrate the benefits of doing so.
Higher biological richness was assigned to the habitats with (i) high species diversity, (ii) high degree of ecosystem uniqueness (EU), (iii) high economical value, (iv) complex terrain and (v) low disturbance level.
Table 2 values for different terrain types at 10 meter height [14].
We resampled the MERIT DEM at 9 arc-second resolution by minimum elevation values for the terrain classification.
It is also the first endeavor to estimate FSC values by combining terrain and snow/non-snow reflectance data.
Research was based on a detailed land survey, interviews with visitors, performance of walking experiments and determination of friction values of specific terrain units.
Thresholds values for the terrain factors and the exclusion of units from the land use and lithological maps were chosen based on the values used by Blahut et al. (2010a) and Kappes et al. (2011).
The Dd value indicates moderate slope terrain with sparse to dense vegetation, higher infiltration rate, moderate surface runoff and less dissection.
"We know we are wealthy," muse the candidates, "but are we healthy?" It is in this terrain - values - that Al Gore and George W Bush will slug it out until November.
