Toward a Socially Just Peace in the War on Drugs?: The Illinois Cannabis Social-Equity Program
Laudably, when Illinois legalized the recreational use of cannabis, it also sought to repair the damage wrought by the War on Drugs (WOD)through its social-equity initiatives. That harm included excessive and disproportionate incarceration in communities of color, over-policing within those communities, and all of the social and economic harms implicit in those realities. This harm necessarily creates intergenerational harm, as parents and children lose necessary pillars of support. Moreover, compelling evidence suggests that the progenitors of the WOD in-tended this harm. Measured against this historic social injustice, the social equity efforts in Illinois fail to secure a material unwinding of the WOD harms. Illinois needs a broader approach to ending the War on Drugs beyond cannabis. Treatment should displace criminalization for narcotics. Expungements should become automatic and more widely available. The state should immediately issue more social-equity licenses in affected communities. Investment of revenues from cannabis and other decriminalized drugs in affected communities should continue
Boundary Conditions of the Heliosphere
Radiative transfer equilibrium models of nearby interstellar matter (ISM)
yield the boundary conditions of the heliosphere when constrained with
observations of ISM inside and outside of the heliosphere. Filtration factors
for interstellar neutrals crossing the heliosheath region, from charge exchange
with interstellar plasma, are given for H, He, N, O, Ar, and Ne. The best
models predict n(HI)~0.2 /cc, n(e)~0.1 /cc, however if the isotropic 2 kHz
emission observed by Voyager (Kurth & Gurnett 2003) is formed in the
surrounding ISM, an alternate model with lower electron densities is indicated.
Observations of nearby ISM, the radiative transfer models, and historical 10Be
records provide information on past variations in the galactic environment of
the Sun
Numerical and experimental investigations for insulation particle transport phenomena in water flow
The investigation of insulation debris generation, transport and sedimentation becomes more important with regard to reactor safety research for pressurized and boiling water reactors, when considering the long-term behaviour of emergency core coolant systems during all types of loss of coolant accidents (LOCA). The insulation debris released near the break during a LOCA incident consists of a mixture of a disparate particle population that varies with size, shape, consistency and other properties. Some fractions of the released insulation debris can be transported into the reactor sump, where it may perturb or impinge on the emergency core cooling systems. Open questions of generic interest are for example the particle load on strainers and corresponding pressure-drop, the sedimentation of the insulation debris in a water pool, its possible re-suspension and transport in the sump water flow. A joint research project on such questions is being performed in cooperation with the University of Applied Science Zittau/Görlitz and the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. The project deals with the experimental investigation and the development of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) models for the description of particle transport phenomena in coolant flow. While the experiments are performed at the University Zittau/Görlitz, the theoretical work is concentrated at Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. In the present paper, the basic concepts for computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling are described and experimental results are presented. Further experiments are designed and feasibility studies were performed

Why Study Interstellar Matter Very Close to the Sun?
Interstellar matter (ISM) sets the boundary conditions of the heliosphere and
dominates the interplanetary medium. The heliosphere configuration has varied
over recent history, as the Sun emerged from the Local Bubble and entered a
turbulent outflow of cloudlets originating from the Scorpius-Centaurus
Association direction. Several indicators suggest that the local interstellar
magnetic field is weak and parallel to the galactic plane. Observations of the
interaction products of the ISM with the heliosphere, such as pickup ions and
anomalous cosmic rays, when combined with data on the ISM towards nearby stars,
provide unique constraints on the composition and physical properties of nearby
gas. These data suggest abundances in nearby ISM are subsolar, and that gas and
dust are not well mixed at the solar location.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; Proceedings Houston 2002 COSPAR Outer
