Design of a neutrino oscillation experiment
This is the final report of a one-year, Laboratory-Directed Research and Development (LDRD) project at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). The project sought to make a preliminary conceptual design and technical evaluation for a neutrino detector with high mass and particle identification capability. The detector will use recent improvements in imaging technology. In addition, a special Monte Carlo code was designed to address contamination of the muon neutrino beam by other particles. The combination of these two developments could lead to significant improvements in both neutrino production sources and neutrino detectors
Evaluation of extracorporeal gas exchange device hemolung for potential application in pediatric practice
The main purpose of this work is to evaluate the Hemolung pumping ability and gas exchange
effectiveness while using the catheters of smaller diameter and blood flow rates applied in pediatrics
Pre-clinical evaluation of an adult extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal system for pediatric application
Adult extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal (ECCO2R) systems and pediatric ECMO
share the common objectives of having a low blood flow rate and low priming volume while safely
maintaining sufficient respiratory support. The Hemolung is a highly simplified adult ECCO2R system
intended for partial respiratory support in adult patients with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure

Development of an Early Identification and Response Model of Malpractice Prevention
The dramatic rise in the incidence of malpractice claims over the past thirty years has revealed several problems with the U.S. system of medical dispute resolution. First, the sudden and unexpected increase in claims has created an insurance crisis wherein various medical specialists have had difficulty obtaining affordable insurance coverage. One such crisis occurred in Florida in the mid-1980\u27s, when an inability of many physicians to procure medical malpractice coverage caused some to limit or curtail their practice. This resulted in access problems for the public. This phenomenon has disproportionately befallen physicians practicing obstetric medicine. Second, besides contributing to periodic crises of access, the current medical dispute resolution system is often responsible for long delays in resolving claims and in compensating victims. Third, compensation is sometimes inequitable, encouraging frivolous suits and making the system expensive to operate. Finally, while there is no evidence that the system reduces bad care, it clearly contributes to increased cost by encouraging unjustified defensive medicine

Comment on ``Evidence for Narrow Baryon Resonances in Inelastic pp Scattering''
Compton scattering data are sensitive to the existence of low-mass resonances
reported by Tatischeff et al. We show that such states, with their reported
properties, are excluded by previous Compton scattering experiments.Comment: One page, submitted to PR
