Furthermore, under the statutes, only women ...

In the case of Beal v. Doe, decided in 1977, the US Supreme Court ruled that states could constitutionally restrict money from Medicaid from funding elective abortions. After the 1973 case Roe v. Wade [2], in which the US Supreme Court had ruled that women have rights to terminate pregnancies within the first trimester [3], the state of Pennsylvania passed legislation that restricted the use of...

Requiring that the baryon number of the universe be generated by anomalous elec-troweak interactions places strong constraints on the minimal supersymmetric standard model. In particular, the electric dipole moment of the neutron must be greater than 10 −27 e-cm. Improvement of the current experimental bound on the neutron's electric dipole moment by one order of magnitude would constrain the l...
