Mission to gather data on origin of cosmic rays The cosmic ray astrophysics group in the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences and the Department of Physics in Arts and Sciences recently completed the development of its part of a $9.8 million instrument that will gather valuable information on the origin of cosmic rays during a space flight sched- uled for launch next year on a Delta-II rocket. Robert Binns, Ph.D., research professor of physics, leads the group that designed and built half of the Cosmic Ray Isotope Spectrometer (CRIS) experiment. That half was delivered last month to the Cali- fornia Institute of Technology in Pasadena, where it is being integrated with the rest of the instrument. In addition to Washington University and Caltech, scientists and engineers from the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena also are involved. Designed to measure the abundances of galactic cosmic ray isotopes of nuclei as light as Helium and as heavy as Zinc, the instrument will fly aboard NASA's Ad- vanced Composition Explorer (ACE) spacecraft, set to launch in August 1997. ACE's primary mission is to observe Kevin Kline, who has won Tony and Oscar awards for his acting, recently led a workshop with performing arts students energetic particles within the solar system. about the art of Shakespearean acting. The Earth constantly is being bombarded by a stream of accelerated particles com- ing at it not only from the sun but also from sources in our Milky Way galaxy.

But even with warfarin's added moni- toring costs and complications, the drug still is more cost-effective than aspirin, Gage said. The study shows that during a 10-year period, warfarin saved about $6,200 for each high-risk patient in costs from stroke — more than enough to offset the additional cost of warfarin therapy vs. aspirin. For patients at medium risk of stroke — those with atrial fibrillation and one additional risk factor — warfarin therapy also proved to be cost-effective. However, warfarin was not cost- effective for patients with atrial fibrilla- tion who had no additional risk factors for stroke, and it did not extend these patients' lives, the study showed. "Their risk of stroke is so low that giving them warfarin therapy doesn't really decrease that risk," Gage said. "In fact, for these low-risk patients, warfarin can be harm- ful because it increases the risk of brain hemorrhage." The researchers concluded, however, that aspirin is a cost-effective and satis- factory alternative for these low-risk patients.
