IEEE Xplore: Full-text Journals Added

As CSULB students faculty or staff you have access to these items.

"IEEE Adds 15,000 Historic Electron Devices Articles to Archive

Continuing its plan to digitize its entire journal backfile, IEEE this
month made available online versions of more than 15,000 articles from IEEE
Electron Devices Society publications dating as far back as 1954.
The archive now includes articles from three of the Society's most
influential publications: IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices (papers
from 1954 to 1987); IEEE Electron Device Letters (papers from 1980 to
1987); and the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (papers from
1955 to 1987).
Papers from 1988-forward were already available electronically. The IEEE
online collection now contains nearly 1.2 million documents.
To view abstracts of the papers in these publications, visit:

California Air Is Cleaner, but Troubles Remain - New York Times

"A major study sponsored by the South Coast district in 1998 showed that the cancer risk for residents of Long Beach, to the immediate northeast of the ports, was twice as great as the risk for people in west-central Los Angeles and four times as high as the risk for those near Topanga Canyon. Diesel particulates from trucks, ships and locomotives, the study said, accounted for 70 percent of the risk.
