Past studies have demonstrated that women and minorities are less likely to be selected as FAA air traffic controllers than are nonminority men, and, when selected, are less likely to be successful. One major reason for this is that women and minorities have less aviation-related background experience. In response to this need the '150' Predevelopm

Louisiana's Office of Highways reacts to a major problem when it attempts to shape and control drainage patterns along its right-of-ways. The Office's design engineers meet this challenge through proper section design and appropriate application of drainage structures.Perhaps the most common structure that these design engineers use is the drainage

This report examines the formulas used in allocating Federal funds to States and local areas. To understand the behavior of these formulas, one must understand the various aspects of the data, such as definitions, methods of collection, and methods of analysis. The objective of the Subcommittee was to study from the statistical standpoint, possible
