Family Planning Perspectives Unintended pregnancies occur all too commonly in the United States. Although their impact on individual women or couples varies, such pregnancies have been linked to a number of social and health problems, such as poor birth outcomes.1 However, despite the frequency and the consequences of unintended pregnancy, its definition—and therefore its measurement—remains el...

Family Planning Perspectives pared with 63% of those among Hispanic women and 54% of those among white and other non-Hispanic women.2 The greater prevalence of unplanned pregnancy among low-income women and among black or Hispanic women reflects their lower levels of contraceptive use3 and higher likelihood of contraceptive failure.4 However, it is not clear whether racial and ethnic difference...

This paper reports on the number field sieve computation of a 768-bit prime field discrete logarithm, describes the different parameter optimizations and resulting algorithmic changes compared to the factorization of a 768-bit RSA modulus, and briefly discusses the cryptologic relevance of the result.

Erythrocytes and plasma proteins contribrelated (p < 0.001) with the plasma ute to viscosity of blood. Therefore, blood macroglobulin concentration in g/100 ml. viscosity was measured in 16 persons with The plasma of patients with macroglobumacroglobulinemia with a cone-plate vislinemia is a non-Newtonian fluid, but at a cometer at defined shear rates. In each given shear rate the plasma viscos...

the protozoan intestinal parasite cryptosporidium commonly infects cattle throughout the world and iran. the present study was undertaken to determine the abundance and associated risk factors of cryptosporidium infection in cattle herds of northwestern iran. a total number of 246 fecal samples from 138 (56.1%) diarrheic (d) and 108 (43.9%) non-diarrheic (nd) cattle were randomly collected and ...

The space-charge limit on the beam current which can be usefully stored in a colliding-beam storage ring is determined by the current density in the interaction region and, in the case of a thin, flat ribbon beam, by the value of PY., the vertical P-function there. The quantity which is limited is the dimensionless parameter , JP r 2 6 a constant Y where J is the current density in the interact...
