New Measurements of Nucleon Structure from HERMES

Recent measurements of the spin-dependent deep inelastic scattering structure functions of the nucleon g p;n 1 (x) are presented. Theoretical diiculties with the traditional separation of the total integral ? p;n of the structure functions into contributions from quark avours is discussed. Techniques using the measurements of semi-inclusive asymmetries that allow direct separation of the avour ...

Guest Editorial: NTP: New Initiatives, New Alignment

has for nearly 30 years led the effort to apply the science of toxicology to the protection of public health. In June 2007 I became the Associate Director of the NTP. I accepted this challenge with enthusiasm and pledged to a) maintain our traditional areas of strength in toxicology research and testing; b) accelerate our efforts to fulfill the goals set forth in A National Toxicology Program f...

Electronic voting eliminates hanging chads but introduces new usability challenges

The arrival of electronic voting has generated considerable controversy, mostly about its vulnerability to fraud. By comparison, virtually no attention has been given to its usability, i.e., voters’ ability to vote as they intend, which was central to the controversy surrounding the 2000 US presidential election.
