Rules for success in environmental negotiations Rules for success in environmental negotiations
Scientists at the Mid-Continent Ecological Science Center of the National Biological Service conducted a series of case studies of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission license consultations. The goal of these studies was to test hypotheses about factors that contribute to success in interagency negotiations. Based on their analysis of six case studies, the researchers constructed a list...

Highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): A sciencecraft instrument for the Pluto mission Highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): A sciencecraft instrument for the Pluto mission
We describe the design concept for the highly integrated Pluto payload system (HIPPS): a highly integrated, low-cost, light-weight, low-power instrument payload designed to fly aboard the proposed NASA Pluto flyby spacecraft destined for the Pluto/Charon system. The HIPPS payload is designed to accomplish all of the Pluto flyby prime (IA) science objectives, except radio science, set...

Dynamic mapping of urban regions: Growth of the San Francisco/Sacramento region Dynamic mapping of urban regions: Growth of the San Francisco/Sacramento region
A methodology has been developed to document the tremendous growth large metropolitan regions have experienced over time. A GIS was used to compile a database of urbanization for the San Francisco/ Sacramento urban region spanning 140 years. Historical records, USGS topographic maps, aerial photographs, and Landsat imagery were used to identify the urban spatial extent. Digital...
