Show moreCuyahoga County's Department of Entitlement and Employment Services asked the Center on Urban Poverty and Social Change to estimate the potential number of children eligible for Medicaid under recent legislative changes. Currently, Cuyahoga County provides Medicaid coverage to all children age 0-5 living in households earning up to 133% of the federal poverty threshold and children age 6-14 in families earning up to 100% of the federal poverty baseline. Beginning January 1, 1998, the State of Ohio will increase the income threshold for all children age 0-18 to 150% of poverty. A newly-created federal program, Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), further expands the eligibility option to children living with families earning less than 200% of poverty. Using data from the 1990 Census, this paper estimates the number of Cuyahoga County children eligible for Medicaid under various income scenarios and by geographic areas.

Show moreThe spectral content of hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) was studied with solutions of disperse red-1 (DR1) in acetone at a specific fundamental wavelength. Dephasing can occur when the effective lifetime of the virtual state approaches a two-photon resonance. Experiments were developed that will measure all six observables in HRS by observing the scattering at 45°, continuously varying the phase of the fundamental by rotating a quarter-waveplate, and using another quarter-waveplate with a linear polarizer to analyze the harmonic. These experiments proved the validity of Kleinmann symmetry in near-resonant and far off-resonant regimes.

Show moreMeasurements are reported for the polarization in the ordered phase, and for the tilt susceptibility in the 'disordered' smectic A phase, of mixtures of left- and right-handed enantiomers of TFMHPOBC. The tilt susceptibility was found to exhibit a critical exponent γ=1·20±0·05, and both its magnitude and the polarization were found to be nonmonotonic in enantiomeric excess X of S-TFMHPOBC. Their ratio, however, was found to be approximately constant with X. Several possible explanations are examined.
