Off-body flow visualizations and fluid velocity measurements are conducted in a supersonic vortex flow. Three-dimensional laser velocimetry measurements are made in the leeward flowfield over a simple sharp-edged delta wing with 75 degree sweep angle. Tests are conducted at Mach 1.9 and Reynolds number of 2.4 x 10(exp 6) based on model root chord. Measurements are made at 40% and 80% chord positions for 20 and 30 degree angles of attack and at 40% chord for 35 degrees. Mean velocities and turbulence intensities are measured on the five planes. Measurement accuracy is discussed in detail. The measurements define the location of the vortex core and provide the flowfield velocities surrounding the vortex. The difficulties inherent with seeding high velocity vortex flows are discussed ... Laser Velocimetry Measurement of Vortical Flowfields.

This report includes full sections on issue identification and resolution and the biological aspects of raptor electrocution. "Raptors are basically opportunistic and utilize power lines and support structures for a number of purposes, especially perching and nesting. The heaviest use is as hunting perches." Power line designs and modifications for raptor safety include 1) methods to address problems of design and modification of poles, crossarms, and wire placements for adequate separation of energized hardware; 2) insulation of wires and other hardware where sufficient separation cannot be attained; and 3) management of eagle perching. Other mitigation measures are described for power line construction, maintenance, and operation to address impacts other than electrocution. The bibliography is annotated.

In the beginning, Dr. Miller wrote poetry to release the frustrations and irritations that accompanied his career. As time went on, he discovered it was fun to write humorous, or silly, poetry. Through the years these poems accumulated, together with patriotic and more serious personal poems. For a number of years, each year, he was asked to write a Christmas poem to be read in conjunction with the church''s annual Christmas program, and these have been included in this book. Eventually he printed some copies of the poems he had accumulated to give to his friends, but finally decided to gather them all together into a single book, which he called Allsides because they were divided into spiritual, patriotic, outdoor and personal, as well as light poems.
