The upgraded 11 GeV CEBAF polarized electron beam presents a compelling opportunity to measure a weak neutral current amplitude to unprecedented precision at Q ! M Z . The result would yield a precise measurement of the weak mixing angle sin θW , a fundamental parameter of the electroweak theory. The experimental goal of δ(sin θW ) ∼ 0.1%, matching the accuracy of the two single best measuremen...

Tissues and serum from 59 raccoons (Procyon lotor), 42 coyotes (Canis latrans), and seven Striped Skunks (Mephitis mephitis) collected in Dane and Iowa Counties, Wisconsin, USA, between October 2005 and March 2006 were microscopically and serologically examined for the presence of Trichinella spp. Encapsulated larvae were found on compression slides prepared from tongue tissues from a few anima...
