BACKGROUND Little is known about women's experiences with and reactions to protesters and how protesters affect women's emotional responses to abortion. STUDY DESIGN We interviewed 956 women seeking abortion between 2008 and 2010 at 30 U.S. abortion care facilities and informants from 27 of these facilities. RESULTS Most facilities reported a regular protester presence; one third identified...

Orbital remote sensing instruments and systems benefit from high performance, adaptable computing systems. Field programmable SRAM-based gate arrays (FPGAs) are usually the chosen platform for real-time reconfigurable computing. This technology is driven by the commercial sector, so devices intended for the space environment must be adapted from commercial product. Total ionizing dose, heavy io...

SRAM-based reconfigurable programmable logic is widely used in commercial applications and occasionally used in space flight applications because of its susceptibility to singleevent upset (SEU). Upset detection and mitigation schemes have been tested on the Xilinx Virtex II X-2V1000 in heavy-ion and proton irradiation to control the accumulation of SEUs and to mitigate their effects on the int...

The first year of activity has been productive. • We list a total of 21 papers published or submitted by members of the research team and that have been partially supported by our sponsors. • We attended the annual SAAP-Industry meeting on March 5 – 7, 2002, in Hampton, VA. • Langley's FOSS laboratory has generated data on strain tests that is being used as test bed for some fault signature tec...
