Measurements of GnE/GnM from the 2H(e-->,en-->)1H Reaction to Q2=1.45 (GeV/c)2.

We report new measurements of the ratio of the electric form factor to the magnetic form factor of the neutron, G(n)(E)/G(n)(M), obtained via recoil polarimetry from the quasielastic 2H(e-->,e(')n-->)1H reaction at Q2 values of 0.45, 1.13, and 1.45 (GeV/c)(2) with relative statistical uncertainties of 7.6% and 8.4% at the two higher Q2 points, which points have never been achieved in polarization measurements.

Patterns of change in adolescent smoking behavior and results of a one year follow-up of a smoking prevention program.

A smoking prevention program for adolescents conducted in two public middle schools focused on resisting peer pressure to smoke and understanding the intent of commercial cigarette advertising. One class in each school participated in the program group and one served as a control group. The program consisted of eight sessions and was conducted by first-year medical students. Data on smoking behavior and related information were obtained from self-administered questionnaires at baseline, at the conclusion of the program, and one year later. One year after the program was concluded, the proportion of non-smokers was higher among those who had participated in the program than among the controls. This suggests that routine implementation of smoking prevention programs in conventional school settings may be productive in reducing the prevalence of cigarette smoking.

Hybridization of bean, spinach, maize and Euglena chloroplast transfer RNAs with homologous and heterologous chloroplast DNAs. An approach to the study of homology between chloroplast tRNAs from various species.

Chloroplast tRNAs from two dicotyledons (spinach and bean), a monocotyledon (maize) and a green alga (Euglena) have been fractionated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis. The individual tRNAs have been identified, albeled with 125I or 32P, and used in tRNA-DNA hybridization experiments. Spinach chloroplast tRNAs hybridize as well, and maize chloroplast tRNAs almost as well as bean chloroplast tRNAs to bean chloroplast DNA, thus suggesting a high degree of homology between the chloroplast tRNAs from the two dicotyledons and between the tRNAs from the two dicotyledons and those of the monocotyledon. But Euglena total chloroplast tRNA hybridizes very poorly to bean chloroplast DNA, and among the 14 individual tRNAs tested, only one, Euglena chloroplast tRNAPhe, hybridizes to both maize and bean chloroplast DNAs, which is in good agreement with the fact that Euglena and bean chloroplast tRNAsPhe have almost identical primary structures.
