Air Force Health Study Brings Science of Epidemiology to the Agent Orange Issue With Help From SAS | 2006-10-20 01:00:16 | SAS Institute |
| Of the 19 million gallons of herbicides that U.S. warplanes sprayed onto the jungles and croplands of South Vietnam, 11 million gallons were the defoliant commonly known as Agent Orange. The health consequences of exposure to Agent Orange and its dioxin contaminant have been a topic of intense scientific investigation and debate since herbicide spraying ceased in 1971. Since 1978, the U.S. Air Force has been studying the health concerns of veterans and their families as well as trying to determine the long-term health risks attributable to Agent Orange exposure. From the beginning, the Air Force Health Study has relied on SAS to make sense of all the variables associated with the study. | |||

SAS Helps TV Guide Increase Customers, Reduce Churn | 2006-10-20 01:00:16 | SAS Institute |
| For 50 years, TV Guide has been the grand dame of entertainment publishing. But the current television landscape is vastly different than it was in 1953. Viewers had three channel choices then; today, they have 300. Competition has boomed, too. Newspapers have beefed up their listings, more magazines offer television coverage and the Internet gives viewers a whole new avenue to plan their channel surfing. This increased competition also extends into the advertising world, where advertisers now have more magazines, as well as television alternatives, at their disposal. TV Guide has met these challenges with a more sophisticated approach to marketing its magazine and auxiliary products. Powering these efforts is TV Guide's use of SAS tools for customer relationship management. | |||
