Abstract:
    Breit-Pauli results for energy levels, lifetimes, and Lande g_J_
    factors have been determined for all levels up to 2p^2^ 3d of the
    nitrogen-like sequence (Z=7-17) and 2p^3^ 3d of the oxygen-like
    sequence (Z=8-20). Exceptions are some lower members of the sequence
    where the spectrum included only those levels below the second
    2p^2^ 4s term in the case of N-like or 2p^3^ 4s in the case of O-like.
    The computed energy and E1, E2, M1, M2 transition data between all
    levels, including convergence of the LS line strength for both length
    and velocity forms, may be viewed at a website,
    http://www.vuse.vanderbilt.edu/~cff/mchf_collection .
    In this paper, critically evaluated transition data is presented for N
    I, O II, Mg VI, and Si VIII (N-like sequence) and O I, Ne III, Mg V,
    and Si VII (O-like) for E1 transitions including uncertainty
    estimates. Tables 4 and 5 include the computed energy adjusted
    transition rates and uncertainty estimates as absolute values are
    calculated based on errors from energy adjustment and from LS
    convergence. The accuracy of energy levels is determined by comparison
    with experiment. Transition rates with uncertainties are compared with
    experiment and other theory.

Global notes:
Note (G1): Note to Transition rates:
            Transition rates are energy adjusted
NOte (G2): Note to Uncertainties:
            Uncertainties are expressed as absolute values and are calculated
            based on errors after energy adjustment. Transitions that have not
            been adjusted (because of missing observed energies) have no
            uncertainty values and are not adjusted for energy errors.
