The bulk of the collection is comprised of architectural drawings, spanning Cone's student days through his professional career. Included are many drawings from the Fresno County area in the early 1920s, as well as designs for several California churches. It also contains Cone's extensive diaries, photographs, student art work, and drawings produced by his daughter, Doris Cone.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Incident Command System is an ideal structure for public health organizations to utilize during their response to a disaster. Ten key attributes of an effective organization for incident management are presented and discussed. The principles of the Incident Command System are compared to those attributes to determine how strongly the system aligns with those attributes. The public health response in Texas to Hurricane Katrina is then used as a case study to examine whether the application of the Incident Command System during a complex and far-reaching disaster was perceived by those involved in the response in a positive way. An analysis of a survey of individuals involved in the response is presented as well as recommendations for change and conclusions.

This report summarizes results of recent upgrades to SLAC's polarized source drive laser system. A Q-switching system has been incorporated into the flashlamp-pumped Ti:Sapphire laser system. The Q-switched laser provides energies up to 5 mJ for a 200 ns long pulse. Slow Q-switching provides control over length and shape of the laser pulse. A peak current of> 5.5 A has been demonstrated using a GaAs photocathode illuminated by this laser system.

The soft x-ray imager (SXRI) built for the first experiments at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) has four soft x-ray channels and one hard x-ray channel. The SXRI is a snout that mounts to a four strip gated imager. This produces four soft x-ray images per strip, which can be separated in time by {approx}60psec. Each soft x-ray channel consists of a mirror plus a filter. The diagnostic was used to study x-ray burnthrough of hot hohlraum targets at the NIF and OMEGA lasers. The SXRI snout design and issues involved in selecting the desired soft x-ray channels are discussed.

Three species of Myxobolus (Myxozoa, Myxosporea) occur in heart tissue of centrarchids. Myxobolus paralintoni Li and Desser, 1985 from Lepomis gibbosus in Algonquin Park and in Lake Erie, Ontario, has subcircular spores (in plane of spore length) in frontal view (11-13 microm long, 9-10 microm wide, and 5 microm thick) with a width-to-length ratio of 1:1.2. Myxobolus jollimorei n. sp. from Lepomis macrochirus in Lake Erie and in the Pascagoula River System, Mississippi, has subcircular spores (in plane of spore width) in frontal view (10.0-11.5 microm long, 12.0-14.5 microm wide, and 6.5-8.0 microm thick) with a width-to-length ratio of 1:0.8. Myxobolus manueli n. sp. from Pomoxis nigromaculatus in Lake Erie has spores (10-11 microm long, 8-10 microm wide, and 6.5-7.0 microm thick) that are nearly circular in frontal view but that have 2 distinct sublateral knobs along the sutural ridge and a width-to-length ratio of 1:1.2. All 3 species occur in the bulbus arteriosus of their hosts where they form small, saucer-shaped pseudocysts. Free spores were found free in the lumen of the heart and bulbus arteriosus, in bile, and in kidney tissue presses.

Myxobolus mississippiensis n. sp. is described from gill lamellae of the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) inhabiting the Pascagoula River System, Mississippi. Fresh spores measure 16.4-18.7 micro-m long, 3.9-6.2 micro-m wide, and 4.7-6.2 micro-m thick. Spore width to length ratio is 1:3.2. Polar capsules are 5.5-7.8 micro-m long and 1.5-2.3 micro-m wide, with 9-10 filament coils that when extruded measure 42.1 ± 4.2 micro-m. This parasite is unique among known species of Myxobolus in having spores that are lenticular in frontal view.
