Retrofitting to Last – Selecting Optimal Wildlife Protection Products
Many power pylons in raptor habitat pose high electrocution risk to raptors, which can be mitigated with insulation products. Retrofitting may require a service outage and can be expensive; labor costs are often far greater than materials.

Enhancement factor for the electron electric dipole moment in francium and gold atoms [PDF]
If electrons had an electric dipole moment (EDM) they would induce EDMs of atoms. The ratio of the atomic EDM to the electron EDM for a particular atom is called the enhancement factor, R.
