Grape Farm Business Summary: Finger Lakes Region 1981
No full textA.E. Ext. 82-24This is a summary and analysis of the 1981 farm business records from 17 commercial grape farms in the Finger Lakes Region of New York, The summary was prepared by Thomas J. Zabadal, Regional Extension Grape Specialistand Gerald B. White and Daniel B. Whitaker, Department of Agricultural Economics, Cornell University. The main purpose of this study is to help the cooperators in this project and other grape growers to improve their skills as farm managers. The objective is to demonstrate the importance of good business records and to show how they can be used as a base for sound management decisions, The summary and analysis presented in this publication should also be useful to agribusinessmen and· agricultural teachers. However, caution should be exercised in using data from this book, These data were not obtained by using a random or representative sample of all grape farms in the Finger Lakes Region. This publication, therefore, should not be used as an exact representation of the entire Finger Lakes Region grape farm industry. This report has been prepared for use in a systematic study of individual farm business operations

Case record analysis
No full textIt is argued that the determinates of low frequency (less than once an hour) challenging behavior are likely to be more complex than those of high frequency behavior involving setting events that may not be present when the behavior occurs. The analysis of case records is then examined as a method of identifying possible setting events to low frequency behaviours. It is suggested that time series analysis, correlational analysis and time lag sequential analysis may all be useful methods in the examination of case records
Flow patterns around longitudinal training dams
No full textWith the intention to reduce the negative effects of ongoing bed erosion, as well as to improve several other river functions such as protection against floods, provision of safe and efficient navigation and ecology, a ‘pilot project longitudinal training dams’ was initiated. The training dams have recently been implemented in the Waal between Tiel and Sind Andries. In this project, river groynes have been completely removed and replaced by dams that lie parallel to the river bank. With help of the longitudinal training dams, a two-channel river system is created in which the river is divided into a main and side channel. The dams are placed in a continuous manner with openings in between that are relatively small compared to the dam length. At the beginning and end of the dam an inlet and outlet region is situated, as shown in Fig. 1. The combination of inlet and openings allows for water and sediment to be divided between the main and the side channel. Both inlet and openings are constructed with the help of a porous rock-layer. The crest heights can be altered by adding or removing stones. This is expected to influence the amount of water and sediment entering the side channel and can therefore be used as a regulation tool.

Correlational analysis of challenging behaviours
No full textIt is argued that challenging behaviours can be better understood if a correlational analysis (looking for correlations between the occurrence of the behaviour and other variables) is used in addition to functional analysis. A case example is provided of a man whose aggressive outbursts were negatively correlated with trips out of his unit
