Measurement of the recoil polarization in the p(e-->, e'p-->)pi(0) reaction at the Delta(1232) resonance.

The recoil proton polarization has been measured in the p(e-->,e'p-->)pi(0) reaction in parallel kinematics around W = 1232 MeV, Q2 = 0.121 (GeV/c)2, and epsilon = 0.718 using the polarized cw electron beam of the Mainz Microtron. All three proton polarization components, Px/P(e) = (-11.4+/-1.3+/-1.4)%, P(y) = (-43.1+/-1.3+/-2.2)%, and P(z)/P(e) = (56.2+/-1.5+/-2.6)%, could be measured simultaneously. The Coulomb quadrupole to magnetic dipole ratio, CMR = (-6.4+/-0.7(stat)+/-0.8(syst))%, was determined from Px in the framework of the Mainz Unitary Isobar Model. The consistency among the reduced polarizations and the extraction of the ratio of longitudinal-to-transverse response is discussed.

Devil's staircase-type faceting of a cubic lyotropic liquid crystal

The faceting of monocrystals of the lyotropic cubic liquid crystals in equilibrium with a humid atmosphere is observed. Experiments reveal the presence of more than 60 different types of facets on the surface of a spherical crystal of radius R = 1 mm. The devil's staircase type of faceting has been predicted theoretically when the interaction between steps on the crystal surface is repulsive.

Clinical engineering program productivity and measurements.

The health care delivery system is undergoing evolutionary changes that are also affecting Clinical Engineering. The integration of engineering and the life sciences created an industry whose "product" must be quality patient care. The utilization of technologies in the clinical environment is perpetually growing, and has created a need for professional technical management. The present changing environment requires Clinical Engineers to become effective leaders and efficient managers. The efficient consumption of an organization's resources is dependent on its managers' abilities to assess and optimize their operations under dynamic conditions. This paper describes some means for monitoring the clinical engineering department "output" and for measuring and reporting the relative changes in output, thus enhancing progress toward achievement of established goals. The tools and techniques offered here are not an end in themselves, but are rather a part of the process of maximizing productivity with a commitment to program output quality.
