The Science of Pamela Space Mission

Many different mechanisms can contribute to antiprotons and positrons production, ranging from conventional reactions up to exotic processes like neu-tralino annihilation. The open problems are so fundamental (i.e.: is the universe symmetric in matter and antimatter ?) that experiments in this field will probably be of the greatest interest in the next years. Here we will summarize the present ...

FIRST YEAR OF OPERATION AT THE SEMASS wTe FACILITY

Kenneth A. Smith wTe Corporation Bedford, Massachusetts The SEMASS waste-to-energy facility has employed the straightforward "Shred Burn" approach to Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) production. The relatively trouble-free start-up seems to indicate that the design­ ers have incorporated the industry learning experience of the past 10 years. In this discussion, questions are raised relative to local p...

The Oregon Health Insurance Experiment: Evidence from the First Year.

In 2008, a group of uninsured low-income adults in Oregon was selected by lottery to be given the chance to apply for Medicaid. This lottery provides an opportunity to gauge the effects of expanding access to public health insurance on the health care use, financial strain, and health of low-income adults using a randomized controlled design.
