'Healthy People 2000' at mid decade
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the effort to meet the nation's health challenges as set out in 'Healthy People 2000' suggests that the program is having a positive effect on the health of Americans, with some notable exceptions. 'Healthy People 2000' was developed by government agencies as a plan for improving public health during the 1990s. The plan involves government action at all levels and identifies 22 priority efforts and 300 measurable objectives. These objectives are divided into health promotion, prevention and protection priorities. A smaller set of these priorities has been identified as sentinel targets, used to monitor the progress of the program as a whole. At the program's mid-point, 1995, 10 of the 17 sentinel targets in the health promotion area have progressed in the right direction, including lower rates of tobacco and alcohol use. Eight of the 10 sentinel objectives in the protection category, including a decrease in motor vehicle related deaths and blood lead levels, are moving in the right direction. The details of 'Healthy People 2000' and progress to date are discussed.

Two-dimensional matches from one-dimensional stimulus components in human stereopsis
Article Abstract:
Three dimensional visual scenes are seen by the retina as two dimensional images. The visual system has to match corresponding parts of two retinal images, to detect disparities. A disparity-adaptation method was applied to visual patterns with differing disparities. The adaptors that have an effect on altering depth perception, also appeared widely separated from the patterns they adapt.
