Extractions: Stats Info Home Research Aids [ Stats Info ] Writing Papers General Refs Not too long ago the typical sources for statistics on a specific topic were those cited in books or journal articles on that topic. Sometimes the authors presented statistics gathered as a result of their own research while at other times they provided statistics gleaned from other sources. Because of the time involved in getting books and articles to press, it was not unusual for students especially to rely on what were often dated statistics. Today there is less justification for term papers and other research projects to use anything other than the most current data on particular topics. Instead on relying on the national murder or rape rate provided in your three-year-old text book or a five-year-old journal article, go directly to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report online and get the most current data. Get crime and prison statistics directly from another country's government page. See what data are gathered about firearms from groups and organizations on every side of the issue. The list is obviously endless and that means that whether you are gathering supplementary statistics in conjunction with your own original research or are simply providing a research paper on a particular topic, you likely have direct access to statistics that are more current than any you could find in an already published source.

Extractions: Deer Management Districts, Moose Hunting Zones, Turkey Hunting Zones, Waterfowl Hunting Zones, Wildlife Management Units, everything we hunt or trap seems to have a different set of zones and zone lines. It's little wonder many of Maine's hunters find our regulations cumbersome and confusing. During the past year, Maine Inland Fisheries and Wildlife biologists have undertaken an effort to design a zoning system that meets the management requirements for all species, while unifying boundary lines. As a result of that effort, Maine has been divided into 30 parcels termed Wildlife Management Districts (WMDs; Figure 6). We took a number of factors into account in defining WMDs. Refinement of deer management capability was a major consideration. After 12 years under the Any-Deer permit system, we now have a good database to evaluate relative habitat quality and management potential for deer around the state. When compiling WMDs, we were able to do a better job of clustering townships according to their potential to produce deer and deer hunting opportunities. In doing this, we factored in land-use, forest type, soil quality, winter severity, and human population centers. Management requirements for other key species such as moose, turkeys, waterfowl, and furbearers were also given due consideration. Accordingly, we added a few WMDs in some areas, and modified boundaries in others. Throughout, we made a concerted effort to select clearly recognizable physical boundaries to reduce confusion for hunters.

Extractions: By CyberAtlas staff There are countless sources for the number of Internet users in any given country. CyberAtlas tries to maintain an updated list of the latest statistics on Internet users we've seen for countries around the world. Often, there are widely differing counts. We do our best to check on the accuracy of counts by comparing them to regional growth patterns and other projections. The population statistics and the number of ISPs in each of the countries listed is taken from the CIA's World Factbook . The number of active users is available for Internet users in the more than 20 nations tracked by the Nielsen//NetRatings service, which account for more than 90 percent of the world's Internet users. The number of active users is an estimate of the number of people that actually go online in a given month, rather than the number of people with access.

[text provided by Joseph McInerney] Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911) was the first scientist to study heredity and human behavior systematically. The term "genetics" did not even appear until 1909, only 2 years before Galton's death. With or without a formal name, the study of heredity always has been, at its core, the study of biological variation. Human behavioral genetics, a relatively new field, seeks to understand both the genetic and environmental contributions to individual variations in human behavior. That is not an easy task, for the following reasons.
