Clinton, William Jefferson
42nd president of the U.S. (1993-2001). Born in Hope, Arkansas, soon after his father's death in a car crash, he later took the last name of his mother's second husband, Roger Clinton. He attended Georgetown University, Oxford University (as a Rhodes Scholar), and Yale law school, then taught at the University of Arkansas law school. He served as state attorney general (1977-79) and served several terms as governor (1979-81, 1983-92), during which he reformed Arkansas's educational system and encouraged the growth of industry through favorable tax policies. He won the Democratic presidential nomination in 1992 after withstanding charges of personal impropriety and defeated the incumbent, George Bush. As president, Clinton obtained approval of the North American Free Trade Agreement in 1993. He and his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton, strongly advocated their plan to overhaul the U.S. health-care system, but Congress rejected it. He committed U.S. forces to a peacekeeping initiative in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1994 the Democrats lost control of Congress for the first time since 1954. Clinton responded by offering a deficit-reduction plan while opposing efforts to slow government spending on social programs. He defeated Robert Dole to win reelection in 1996. In 1997 he helped broker a peace agreement in Northern Ireland. He faced renewed charges of personal impropriety, this time involving Monica Lewinsky; he denied the charges before a grand jury, but ultimately acknowledged “improper relations” in a televised address. In 1998 Clinton became the second president in history to be impeached. Charged with perjury and obstruction of justice, he was acquitted at his Senate trial in 1999. His two terms saw sustained economic growth and successive budget surpluses, the first in three decades.

什麼是核電子儀器標準化
由於半導體技術的發展,核電子學儀器均採用積木式(即外掛式)結構,因此需要對外掛實行標準化。在這方面,首先需要解決儀器的機械和電氣互換性和資訊傳遞的規範問題。核儀器外掛(NIM)標準,是最早制訂的核電子儀器標準。它是美國原子能委員會核儀器外掛標準委員會於1964...
