The effect of crime seriousness on American student jurors' use of inadmissible evidence was examined. Previous research has shown that sometimes simulated jurors disregard inadmissible evidence, and ...sometimes they do not. Various factors have been investigated in an attempt to account for these mixed results (reactance, direction of the inadmissible evidence, objections, and rulings). In the present study, students read a brief trial summary of a crime that was low, intermediate, or high in seriousness (vandalism, arson, or murder). Half of the sample was exposed to ambiguous evidence, and the other half was exposed to damaging, inadmissible evidence. Across crimes, all factors were held constant except for descriptions of the crimes themselves. Only when the crime was not serious were students biased by the inadmissible evidence. Crime seriousness was positively correlated with guilt judgments when the evidence was ambiguous, but not when damaging inadmissible evidence was added.

The muon anomalous magnetic moment measurement, when compared with theory, can be used to test many extensions to the standard model. The most recent measurement made by the Brookhaven E821 ...Collaboration reduces the uncertainty on the world average of
a
μ
to 0.7 ppm, comparable in precision to theory. This paper describes the experiment and the current theoretical efforts to establish a correct standard model reference value for the muon anomaly.

A bowel fluid gas index was developed for the degree of fluid filled distention in small intestinal obstruction, utilizing the proportion of fluid filled versus gas filled loops on plain abdominal ...films. Comparison of simple distal small bowel obstruction due to adhesions and gallstone ileus demonstrated a significantly higher index in gallstone ileus, indicating more cases of fluid filled distention. In an experimental study, fistulae between the gall bladder and duodenum were fashioned in a series of dogs. Distal small bowel obstruction was then produced in these dogs and in another series of dogs in whom a sham first operation had been performed. The bowel fluid gas index, as evaluated in a double blind study, was significantly higher in dogs with the fistulae and was similar to that in patients with gallstone ileus. The possible mechanism for these observations is proposed.
