摘要:
SummaryBrief historical sketch: woes of citizens as a source of inspiration for, and a cause of difficulties in, weather control experimentation. Three consecutive hail‐prevention experiments in Switzerland. Reports of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences‐National Research Council Panel on Weather and Climate Modification: commercial cloud‐seeding and randomized experiments as sources of information. Two points of view: (i) effect of cloud seeding vs (ii) varying effects of cloud seeding. Original evaluations of 19 known randomized experiments and hopelessness of (i). Evidence of positive as well as negative effects of cloud seeding on precipitation. Need for a reorientation of purposes of experiments. Accessibility vs availability of data on completed experiments with weather control. Extension of analysis of variance for random effects: optimalC(α) tests for the presence of random effects.

摘要:
SummaryThis paper demonstrates how a two‐gap (saving‐investment and import‐export) model can be employed to determine the range of external capital requirements of Argentina in 1970 and 1975 under different assumptions about internal growth rates, economic policies and foreign trade performance. Economic growth can be limited by a lack of domestic savings (saving‐investment gap) or by an inadequate supply of foreign exchange (import‐export gap). Two potential gaps exist for every country with limited structural flexibility and they may differ in sizeex ante. The dominant gap is that which determines external capital requirements. Both “planned” and “unplanned” adjustments occur to ensure that the smaller gap equals the larger gapex post. These adjustments can take, for example, the form of increased domestic savings, a decline in exports or more efficient use of capital resources. Projections of Argentina's saving‐investment and foreign exchange gaps for 1970 and 1975 are derived from a model employing: (a) rates of growth of gross domestic product and exports which are determined exogenously; (b) equations to determine investment, savings and imports; (c) structural changes required by different growth rates. The sensitivity of external capital requirements to different independent variables is examined; the balance of payments effects of Argentina's debt service requirements are analysed; and the external capital needs indicated by the two‐gap model is compared with those projected in Argentina's National Development Plan (1965‐69). The results of the two‐gap model lead the authors to conclude that it is not possible to determine the saving‐investment gap in 1970 and 1975 owing to the unstable capital‐output ratio and to radical shifts in income distribution in Argentina in the recent past; that Argentina can probably achieve, however, a level of domestic savings adequate to finance any likely volume of capital formation ; that the foreign exchange requirements for rapid growth will probably exceed Argentina's capacity to expand exports, replace imports or borrow abroad on commercial terms, thus making foreign exchange the major growth constraint at least until 1980; and that successful export performance depends principally on agricultural policy reform which significantly increases supply and takes advantage of Latin American and world market prospects.

摘要:
SummaryTheCensus of Populationprovides the only comprehensive survey of the occupational distribution of the labour force. This paper tries to overcome the obstacles caused by changes in occupational classification and to assess long‐term trends in social class, socio‐economic groups and industrial status. Some of the occupational changes are shown in further detail: skilled manual workers, clerical occupations and the professions.

摘要:
SummaryIn poker all possible five‐card hands are ranked in an order of precedence. The Jackpot is considered opened if at least one player is dealt a pair of Knaves or any higher ranking hand. Required the probability that the Jackpot is opened. This problem is too complicated for a theoretical solution, so an empirical one was obtained by using a KDF 9 computer. The program simulated the dealing of a number of hands tonplayers (1 ≤n≤ 5) and those deals in which the Jackpot would have been opened were counted.
