A careful intercomparison of the relative analyzing power of five electron beam polarimeters was performed with the CEBAF accelerator at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) during a dedicated two day machine development period. This is the first time such a high precision comparison between polarimeters of the Mott, Compton, and Møller type has been made. A Wien–style spin man...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effect of behavioral, empowerment-focused interventions on the incidence of pregnancy-related school dropout among girls in Nairobi's informal settlements. METHOD Retrospective data on pregnancy-related school dropout from two cohorts were analyzed using a matched-pairs quasi-experimental design. The primary outcome was the change in the number of school dropouts due t...

It is desired to simulate natural rain in a wind tunnel in order to investigate its influence on the aerodynamic characteristics of aircraft. Rain simulation nozzles have been developed and tested at JPL. Pulsed laser sheet illumination is used to photograph the droplets in the moving airstream. Digital image processing techniques are applied to these photographs for calculation of rain statist...
