 ELECTROKINETICS - Online Information article about ELECTROKINETICS
By summing up the magnetic force due to each element at any point P outside the continuous straight current I, and at a distance d from it, we can show that it is equal to zI/d or is inversely proportional to the distance of the point from the wire.
If it is made endless, the magnetic force H is the same everywhere along the central axis and the line integral along the axis is Hl.
The magnetic force at a point outside a conductor conveying a current can by various means be measured or compared with some other standard magnetic forces, and it becomes then a means of measuring the current.

 Nat' Academies Press, For the Public Good: Highlights from the Institute of Medicine, 1970-1995 (1995)
The health care work force, however, has long been a matter of public policy concern because the availability of medical care is perceived to be a public good, unique features of medical care create unusual market conditions, and public subsidies for medical education and health services are large.
Another perspective on the work force that has not received as much attention as it merits is the view that the work force is not as out of balance as the advocates of primary care maintain.
Second, the idea to regulate the size and composition of the nation 's health work force was born in an era when the providers of health care were compensated under a virtually open-ended fee-for-service system that literally rewarded them for artificially stimulating the demand for their services.

The task force charged with finding an appropriate way to honor the fallen Old Man of the Mountain will recommend against creating any kind of replica on the cliff face.
Merrill said the group was swayed by geological and environmental reasons, as well as public opinion, not to try to restore the Old Man. "The public comment has been overwhelmingly opposed to rebuilding on the face," he said.
But task force member David Nielsen, whose family served as caretakers of the Old Man for decades, said he is pleased with the decision not to replace the Old Man.

 Worldandnation: Multinational force has U.N. backing
The Marines assembled an "air-ground task force" of several hundred troops, built around elements of an infantry battalion based at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The decision to send them by air rather than a slower sea deployment was made after Aristide fled Haiti.
The task force has the flexibility to switch from humanitarian to security missions, several defense officials told the Associated Press.
Among the duties of the interim force would be securing and stabilizing the country, getting relief aid and international workers to Haitians and committing the United Nations to helping the local police maintain public safety and order and to protect human rights.

Prouty defines rotor H -force as the “horizontal force perpendicular to the rotor shaft.” We will use a slightly different (and I think more consistent) definition.
We will define H -force as the “component of rotor aerodynamic force generated in the tip-path plane and generally opposite to the direction of motion.” The situation can be considered as follows: the rotor generates an aerodynamic force that is a combination of all lifts and drags on the rotor blade.
Two coordinate directions are in the plane (one generally in the direction of the tail boom and the other out the right side of the helicopter), and the other is perpendicular to the tip-path plane pointing upwards.

 Chinese Defence Today :: H-5 Bomber Aircraft   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Several hundred H-5 bomber variants and HJ-5 bomber-trainer variants were delivered to the PLA Air Force and PLA Naval Air Corps in the 1960s/70s, with most of these aircraft being decommissioned in the 1990s.
Around few hundred H-5s of various variants have been made for the PLA Air Force and Naval Aviation Corps until the production was terminated in the 1980s.
Although portion of China's jet light bomber force could be used in a limited strategic role, in general the H-5's low performance envelope mitigates against its use for strategic bombing.

 SCWC - Bay Delta Advisory Task Force Action
At the July 9 meeting of the Bay Delta Advisory Task Force, Randall Neudeck, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, briefed the task force on H.R. 1985 (Calvert), S. 976 (Feinstein) and H.R. 2404 (Miller), measures that provide for CALFED Authorization.
Congressman Calvert resists naming specific projects in his legislation preferring the approach of competitive grant funding, and this approach, the Task Force agreed, was important because projects would be judged on their merits.

 George Bush's 'Crack Force,' by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Sep. 13, 1996)
When you see the bigger picture, as the crucial evidence is presented here, you will nod in agreement, that the "crack cocaine" epidemic is only one of the major counts against Bush, et al.
As the evidence presented here shows, the key to the Contras' launching the "crack cocaine" epidemic on our streets, is that this was done to compensate for the Contra operation, by transfer of support for the Contra operation, out of the CIA and other Federal agencies within the reach of the Boland Amendment.
Key to the Contras ' role as a crack force, were certain business-like arrangements with representatives ofthe Colombia cocaine cartels.
