Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Jim Mattox, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification; Whether a minister is required to file a report of child abuse under section 34.07 of the family code.

It is generally noted that at an undulator straight section, the horizontal beta function is made to be large while the vertical beta function is relatively small. On the other hand, at a wiggler straight section, both horizontal and vertical beta functions are made to be small. In this note we describe a procedure with which optimum settings of the beta functions in the insertion straight section are to be determined. For this we consider separately for the undulator radiation and the radiation from the wiggler device. Since the brilliance of radiation is a canonically conserved quantity, we use the brilliance as a figure of merit for the consideration. Then the optimization process is to find a set of horizontal and vertical beta functions which would give the maximum brilliance when the natural emittance, emittance coupling constant, length of insertion device and the photon energy to which the insertion device is optimized are specified. The next step of the study is to find sensitivities of the beta functions to the brilliance.

At the 0.08 BAC level of alcohol, braking, steering, lane changing, and judgment are degraded and the driving performance of virtually all drivers is substantially impaired. During the debate on reauthorization of the federal surface transportation programs, an amendment that would require each state either to enact a 0.08 BAC law or face the loss of a portion of its Federal Highway Trust Fund monies passed the Senate and will likely be considered in the House. This proposal raises questions about the effectiveness and impacts of a 0.08 BAC law, the rights of states versus the federal government, and alternative ways to encourage the states to adopt stronger impaired driving countermeasures.
