SAGE 1 data user's guide
A guide for using the data products from the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment 1 (SAGE 1) for scientific investigations of stratospheric chemistry related to aerosol, ozone, nitrogen dioxide, dynamics, and climate change is presented. A detailed description of the aerosol profile tape, the ozone profile tape, and the nitrogen dioxide profile tape is included. These tapes are the SAGE 1 data products containing aerosol extinction data and ozone and nitrogen dioxide concentration data for use in the different scientific investigations. Brief descriptions of the instrument operation, data collection, processing, and validation, and some of the scientific analyses that were conducted are also included

Angular correlation between inelastically scattered alpha particles and gamma rays emitted in subsequent nuclear decay of magnesium 2
Fuel efficiency through new airframe technology
In its Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program, NASA has expended approximately 200 million dollars toward development and application of advanced airframe technologies to United States's commercial transports. United States manufacturers have already been given a significant boost toward early application of advanced composite materials to control surface and empennage structures and toward selected applications of active controls and advanced aerodynamic concepts. In addition, significant progress in definition and development of innovative, but realistic systems for laminar flow control over the wings of future transports has already been made

Delivery performance of conventional aircraft by terminal-area, time-based air traffic control: A real-time simulation evaluation
A description and results are presented of a study to measure the performance and reaction of airline flight crews, in a full workload DC-9 cockpit, flying in a real-time simulation of an air traffic control (ATC) concept called Traffic Intelligence for the Management of Efficient Runway-scheduling (TIMER). Experimental objectives were to verify earlier fast-time TIMER time-delivery precision results and obtain data for the validation or refinement of existing computer models of pilot/airborne performance. Experimental data indicated a runway threshold, interarrival-time-error standard deviation in the range of 10.4 to 14.1 seconds. Other real-time system performance parameters measured include approach speeds, response time to controller turn instructions, bank angles employed, and ATC controller message delivery-time errors
The Case of the Missing Gates: Complexity of Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity
The Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) model arises from the dimensional reduction of
charged black holes. Motivated by the holographic complexity conjecture, we
calculate the late-time rate of change of action of a Wheeler-DeWitt patch in
the JT theory. Surprisingly, the rate vanishes. This is puzzling because it
contradicts both holographic expectations for the rate of complexification and
also action calculations for charged black holes. We trace the discrepancy to
an improper treatment of boundary terms when naively doing the dimensional
reduction. Once the boundary term is corrected, we find exact agreement with
expectations. We comment on the general lessons that this might hold for
holographic complexity and beyond.Comment: 31 pages, 5 figure
A target for production of radioxenons
A liquid cesium target has been developed which allows the production and separate identification of the neutron deficient isotopes of xenon. The present report describes irradiations utilizing 34 to 41 MeV protons to produce millicurie quantities of Xe-127 and Xe-129m. At higher energies, however, the target could be used without modification to produce xenon isotopes as light as 119
