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 Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents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.

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 the board of managers of an emergency communication district created under article 1432e, V.T.C.S., may be granted advance funds by the county for the purpose of educating the public about the district prior to the holding of a confirmation election.

The Central Calorimeter and its support cradle are to be supported by either hydraulic or mechanical jacks. If hydraulics are used, each support will use two hydraulically coupled jacks with two out of the four supports hydraulically coupled giving the effect of a three point support system. If mechanical jacks are used, all four points are used for support. Figure 2 shows two examples of jack placement on a 3.5 inch support plate. These two support scenarios lead to five jack failure cases to be studied. This report deals with the way in which a 0.25 inch drop (failed jack) at one support affects the stresses in the cradle. The stresses from each failure case were analyzed in two ways. First, stress factors, defined as quotients of stress intensities of the failed case with respect to the static case, were generated and then, hand calculations similar to those in Engineering Note 3740.215-EN-14 were done using the reaction forces from the failed case.

We describe the clearing phenomenon that occurs when a continuous wave (CW) high energy laser beam, incident upon a cloud of hygroscopic droplets, vaporizes these droplets. We consider the case when the incident wavelength is greater than the average droplet radius. Williams' model is used to describe the vaporization of a single droplet. The propagation of the laser beam is described by the radiative transfer equation in a slab geometry. The radiative transfer equation is solved using the method of successive orders of scattering.
