We show there exists a continuous compactly supported function ' de ned on the reals satsifying '(x) = c0'(2x) + c1'(2x 1) + c2'(2x 2) if and only if c1 = 1, c0 + c2 = 1, and jc0j; jc2j < 1. The functions ' are examples of scaling functions from the theory of wavelets. x

Monitoring System has been forthcoming (see March 1996 Colorado Dairy News). Although Colorado was not one of the states sampled. The results on a regional and national basis provide our producers with thoughtprovoking information. The Colorado Dairy News will feature topics from this study in this and future issues.

The role of frameworks in information systems has recently received a great deal of critical attention. One prominent indictment, which has been directed at even commonly accepted frameworks, is that they lack empirical support, and in fact are not constructed in operational terminology.

When the conditions for optimality do not hold, small changes in institutional structure may create lumpy changes in behavior. Also, the paper explo...
