There are some elements of randomness even in events which are completely understood.... The type of uncertainty involved here, the element of chance in random events, is often referred to as statistical uncertainty. Thus, the first-year benefits may be a poor basis for prediction of future benefits, due to various forms of statistical uncertainty.  1, record 1, English, - statistical%20uncertainty

Scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory here believe they have created the "research rat of the future", a computer program that duplicates the complex systems of the human body. The duplicate is called HUMTRN(pronounced HYOOM-tran), short for human transport. It is a "living", or dynamic, computer data bank that gives simultaneous access to 10 million pieces of information on what happens when any chemically identifiable substance is taken into the human body. It is programmed to eat, breathe, work, perspire, eliminate waste, grow, develop sexually, age, and die. Anything put into the system-food), water, and air, for example-involves another set of computer duplicates, the scientists say, creating an elaborate, computerized version of the food chain and the air and soil. HUMTRN uses computer models of cattle, plants, farms, and climates.  1, record 2, English, - HUMTRN%26trade%3B

Undue increase of direct and participatory democracy criticized by technophobic elites.  1, record 4, English, - hyperdemocracy

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Voters are more discerning than the critics of hyperdemocracy. Technology's new challenge ideally at least, is to re-empower voters and revitalize democracy through more direct popular representation. Pitfalls do abound. The same technology able to identify and link citizens and political institutions will also necessarily facilitate nationwide identification systems and increased governmental surveillance. This will undoubtedly prompt a second neo-Orwellian howl to accompany an elitist shudder over entrusting the people-the booboisie as a 21st century cybermob. But overall, the favorable balance that should result is compelling. Here are five critical circumstances and developments that we should all monitor carefully in the future : putting politics on line, creating virtual Washington, expanding individual voting, creating national referendums, and increasing choice of parties.  1, record 4, English, - hyperdemocracy

Defining sustainable development is perhaps less interesting than elaborating the conditions necessary to achieve it. Here there is less consensus among environmental economists. One school of thought suggests that the future cannot be as well off as the past unless it inherits the same(or a larger) stock of capital as the passing generation possessed.  1, record 5, English, - environmental%20economist
