A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

We have conducted tests to ascertain whether or not exposure to erbia would adversely affect the mechanical properties of vanadium more than the regular annealing furnace environment. Mechanical properties of the vanadium exposed to erbia are not different from those of the vanadium to a regular annealing furnace environment. However, there is a change in the impurity levels, the carbon content increasing and the oxygen content decreasing. There is also anomalous behavior in the strain-hardening and elongation to failure of both the annealed and the erbia specimens. It is possible that hydrogen could have been released as a result of water reacting with the vanadium to form oxides. Very small amounts of hydrogen can impair the mechanical properties of vanadium. It is possible, on the basis of diffusion data, that, should hydrogen be generated in this fashion, it could diffuse completely through the vanadium and contaminate whatever is in contact with the vanadium. Further experiments should be conducted to verify whether or not hydrogen is in fact responsible for the anomalous strain-hardening and elongation-to-failure behavior. 20 refs., 8 figs., 3 tabs.

Two figures of merit, the threshold power (P/sub th/) and the limiting volume (V/sub min/) can be used to compare the relative efficiency and economy of new harmonic generating crystals. The properties of barium metaborate and L-Arginine phosphate are used to illustrate the effect of nonlinearity, birefringence, and damage threshold on these figures of merit.

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 school district employee may be compensated for serving as an election clerk, and related questions (RQ-1310)

There are two nitrogen/argon exhaust headers in the D0 cryogenic piping system, one for the liquid argon dewar and another for the three argon calorimeters. These headers serve two functions, venting both nitrogen exhaust from the cooling loops and cold argon gas should any argon vessel blow a relief. These headers are vacuum jacketed until they exit the building. At that point, uninsulated exhaust stacks direct the flow into the atmosphere. This note deals with the these stacks.
