The Aerospace Safety Advisory Panel is pleased to present its annual report for calendar year 1996. This report provides findings, recommendations and supporting material regarding the Space Shuttle, the International Space Station, computer hardware/software, aeronautics programs and other NASA activities. The Panel requests that NASA respond only to Section II, " Findings and Recommendations....

We have demonstrated downsizing effects of the soft porous crystal, [Zn(isophthalate)(4,4'-bipyridyl)](n) (CID-1), on the adsorption behavior between CID-1 and CID-1 nanocrystal (NCID-1). The difference results from the packing crystal structures and the dynamics of the frameworks.

Within the information technology environment, the concept of consolidation has evolved from a focus on downsizing the number of boxes in the datacenter to a strategic effort to streamline the entire IT infrastructure. More organizations are realizing that projects initially designed to reduce acquisition costs are delivering longerterm benefits by increasing operational efficiency and allowing...

Program slicing is a viable method to restrict the focus of a task to specific sub-components of a program. Examples of applications include debugging, testing, program comprehension, restructuring, downsizing, and parallelization. This paper discusses different statement deletion based slicing methods, together with algorithms and applications to software engineering.
