Modeling, Simulation, and Operations Analysis in Afghanistan and Iraq
by Ben Connable, Walter L. Perry, Abby Doll, Natasha Lander, and Dan Madden
Demonstrates how nonresponse in sample surveys and censuses can be handled by replacing each missing value with two or more multiple imputations. Clearly illustrates the advantages of modern computing to such handle surveys, and demonstrates the benefit of this statistical technique for researchers who must analyze them. Also presents the background for Bayesian and frequentist theory. After establishing that only standard complete--data methods are needed to analyze a multiply--imputed set, the...
This publication presents the outcome of a peer review undertaken of the overall waste management programme within the Netherlands, whose programme has been carefully formulated for the particular circumstances of a country with a limited nuclear power industry, albeit with prospects for some expansion. The Netherlands have opted for long term storage of spent fuel and COVRA (Central Organization of Radioactive Waste) is the recognised collecting service for this activity. The review was carried...

Journal of Organizational Change Management: Changing Practice Through Reflection
Key National Education Indicators
The education system in the United States is continually challenged to adapt and improve, in part because its mission has become far more ambitious than it once was. At the turn of the 20th century, less than one-tenth of students enrolled were expected to graduate from high school. Today, most people expect schools to prepare all students to succeed in postsecondary education and to prosper in a complex, fast-changing global economy. Goals have broadened to include not only rigorous benchmarks...
Measuring the Impacts of Federal Investments in Research
The enactment of the America COMPETES Act in 2006 (and its reauthorization in 2010), the increase in research expenditures under the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), and President Obama's general emphasis on the contribution of science and technology to economic growth have all heightened interest in the role of scientific and engineering research in creating jobs, generating innovative technologies, spawning new industries, improving health, and producing other economic and s...
