    Notes: Abstract As the number of married women working outside the home continues to grow, questions arise as to the impact of a wife's employment on household travel patterns. In this paper we examine the effects of a wife's employment status on her own travel activity pattern and on that of her husband. Using data from the Uppsala Household Travel Survey, in which sample-household members kept detailed travel diaries for 35 days, we first compare the travel patterns of married women employed full time with those of married women employed part time and married women not working outside the home. We then compare the travel patterns of the three corresponding groups of husbands. Measures of travel activity patterns that were used include indices of overall travel frequency for different purposes, amount of time spent and distances travelled for different purposes, indices of the level of variety in the individual's destination choice set, and measures of mode use. The results show that women employed full-time do reduce their participation in some non-work activities although their distances travelled to activity sites are not shorter than those travelled by the other women. Few significant intergroup differences distinguish the travel activity patterns of the three groups of men. The evidence suggests that a woman's full-time employment does bring significant changes to her own travel pattern but has little impact on that of her husband. The paper concludes with a discussion of policy implications and a review of several Swedish programs that could eventually result in greater similarity in the travel activity patterns of men and women.

    Notes: The Z-pinch-driven hohlraum (ZPDH) [J. H. Hammer et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 2129 (1999)] is a promising approach to high yield inertial confinement fusion currently being characterized in experiments on the Sandia Z accelerator [M. E. Cuneo et al., Phys. Plasmas 8, 2257 (2001)]. Simulations show that capsule radiation symmetry, a critical issue in ZPDH design, is governed primarily by hohlraum geometry, dual-pinch power balance, and pinch timing. In initial symmetry studies on Z without the benefit of a laser backlighter, highly-asymmetric pole-hot and equator-hot single Z-pinch hohlraum geometries were diagnosed using solid low density foam burnthrough spheres. These experiments demonstrated effective geometric control and prediction of polar flux symmetry at the level where details of the Z-pinch implosion and other higher order effects are not critical. Radiation flux symmetry achieved in Z double-pinch hohlraum configurations exceeds the measurement sensitivity of this self-backlit foam ball symmetry diagnostic. To diagnose radiation symmetry at the 2%–5% level attainable with present ZPDH designs, high-energy x rays produced by the recently-completed Z-Beamlet laser backlighter are being used for point-projection imaging of thin-wall implosion and symmetry capsules. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Initial experiments to study the Z-pinch-driven hohlraum high-yield inertial confinement fusion (ICF) concept of Hammer, Tabak, and Porter [Hammer et al., Phys. Plasmas 6, 2129 (1999)] are described. The relationship between measured pinch power, hohlraum temperature, and secondary hohlraum coupling ("hohlraum energetics") is well understood from zero-dimensional semianalytic, and two-dimensional view factor and radiation magnetohydrodynamics models. These experiments have shown the highest x-ray powers coupled to any Z-pinch-driven secondary hohlraum (26±5 TW), indicating the concept could scale to fusion yields of 〉200 MJ. A novel, single-sided power feed, double-pinch driven secondary that meets the pinch simultaneity requirements for polar radiation symmetry has also been developed. This source will permit investigation of the pinch power balance and hohlraum geometry requirements for ICF relevant secondary radiation symmetry, leading to a capsule implosion capability on the Z accelerator [Spielman et al., Phys. Plasmas 5, 2105 (1998)]. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Arrays of Co particles with well-defined geometry and lateral sizes in the range 0.1–0.5 μm were prepared by electron beam lithography and studied by magnetization measurements and magnetic force microscopy. The starting materials were epitaxial Co films, with in-plane magnetic anisotropy, having thicknesses in the range 10–50 nm. The particles change from multidomain behavior to that of stable single domains in zero field, as the lateral dimension decreases within these ranges. For particles of circular shape, i.e., without in-plane shape anisotropy, the critical size for forming single domains was found to be about 200 nm in lateral extension and 20 nm thickness. Elliptical particles prepared with 20 nm thickness and lateral dimensions 150 by 450 nm were found to be stable single domains, of good uniformity, in zero field. The switching of these particles from one magnetization direction along the long axis to the other, requires an applied field BS(approximate)(100±20)mT. A comparison with other published results leads to the conclusion that although the critical volume for single domains may be about the same, the final microscopic magnetic structure and the processes for magnetic switching for particles in the actual range of sizes, are strongly governed by the intrinsic properties of the Co films, which may vary widely. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this paper, we examine Hong Kong's role in intermediating trade between China and the rest of the world. Hong Kong traders distribute a large fraction of China's exports. Net of customs, insurance, and freight charges, re-exports of Chinese goods are much more expensive when they leave Hong Kong than when they enter. Hong Kong markups on re-exports of Chinese goods are higher for differentiated products, products with higher variance in export prices, and products sent to China for further processing. These results are consistent with the view that traders resolve informational problems in exchange. Additional results suggest that traders price discriminate across destination markets and use transfer pricing to shift income from high-tax countries to Hong Kong.

    Notes: Abstract  There has been much speculation in the literature about the effect of the prospective payment system (PPS) on the home care industry but few reports of systematic investigation. Clearly, comprehension of client characteristics is essential for categorizing home care clients into the correct Home Health Resource Groups, for allocating resources appropriately, and for implementing necessary organizational changes to accommodate clients who require variations in the amount of resources predicted by the PPS. The purposes of this study were to compare the characteristics of home health clients that resulted in a financial gain or a financial loss for one agency under the PPS with those of the interim payment system. A secondary data analysis of 140 cases compiled by one not-for-profit hospital-affiliated home care organization was completed. Results suggested that client characteristics of the projected loss group had more recertifications on admission and at the end of the 60-day episode, a longer stay (3 weeks), and more visits, particularly from skilled nursing. Comprehension of client characteristics and the subsequent ability to adjust for the proper case mix will be crucial if home care agencies are to remain financially viable under the PPS. Replication of this project needs to be done using more variables and multiple sites.

    Notes: Available evidence indicates that many of the antiprotozoal drugs currently in use significantly modify the immune response of the host. The effect depends on both the drug and the host. Some drugs enhance the immune response, some are immuno-suppressants, and others enhance some types of immune mechanisms while suppressing others. Future efforts in the development of antiprotozoal drugs should consider their effects on both the parasite and the immune response of the host. Also in the chemotherapy of protozoal infections consideration should be given to the combined usage of immunoenhancing agents and antiprotozoal drugs.
