Report From Focus Groups With Mainers About the Dirigo Health Plan

Measures the public's views and understanding of the Dirigo Health Reform Act, which was established to provide affordable health care for every Maine citizen and a new process for containing costs and improving healthcare quality

Possible Mineral Resources University Land Grant, Montana School of Mines Lands

The following evaluation of the mineral resources of the University Land-Grant lands has been made from an office study of geologic maps and published reports, and from a rather thorough knowledge of the geology of the state by the writer after 23 years of experience in the state

Stable isotope analysis of molecular oxygen from silicates and oxides using CO2 laser extraction

A laser-excited system for determination of the oxygen isotope composition of small quantities of silicate and oxide minerals was constructed and tested at JSC. This device is the first reported to use a commercially available helium cryostat to transfer and purify oxygen gas quantitatively within the system. The system uses oxygen gas instead of the conventional CO2 for mass spectrometer analyses. This modification of technique permits determination of all three stable oxygen isotopes, an essential requirement for oxygen isotope analysis of meteoritic material. Tests of the system included analysis of standard silicate materials NBS 28 and UWMG2 garnet, six SNC meteorites, and inclusions and chondrules from the Allende meteorite. Calibration with terrestrial standards was excellent. Meteorite values are close to published values and show no evidence of terrestrial oxygen contamination. The one limitation observed is that, in some runs on fine-grained SNC matrix material, sample results were affected by other samples in the sample holder within the reaction chamber. This reemphasizes the need for special precautions in dealing with fine-grained, reactive samples. Performance of the JSC instrument compares favorably with that of any other instrument currently producing published oxygen isotope data
