The New Jersey Medicaid ACO Demonstration Project: Seeking Opportunities for Better Care and Lower Costs among Complex Low-Income Patients
Authors: Cantor Joel C. , Chakravarty Sujoy , Tong Jian , Yedidia Michael J. , Lontok Oliver , DeLia Derek 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
A small but growing number of states are turning to accountable care concepts to improve their Medicaid programs. In 2011 New Jersey enacted the Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Demonstration Project to offer local provider coalitions the opportunity to share any savings they generate. Impetus came from initiatives in Camden that aim to reduce costs through improved care coordination among hospital high users and that have received considerable media attention and substantial federal and private grant support. Though broadly similar to Medicare and commercial ACOs, the New Jersey demonstration addresses the unique concerns faced by Medicaid populations. Using hospital all-payer billing data, we estimate savings from care improvement efforts among inpatient and emergency department high users in thirteen communities that are candidates for participation in the New Jersey demonstration. We also examine their characteristics to inform Medicaid accountable care strategies. We find substantial variation in the share of high-user hospital patients across the study communities and high rates of avoidable use and costs among these patients. The potential savings among Medicaid enrollees are considerable, particularly if Medicaid ACOs can develop ways to successfully address the high burden of chronic illness and behavioral health conditions prevalent in the prospective demonstration communities.
State Variation in Health Care Spending and the Politics of State Medicaid Policy
Authors: Lukens Gideon 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
This study investigates the factors that underlie large variation in Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) policies among states. Both eligibility and provider payment policies are examined for low-income children and parents. I find that state variation in the cost of providing health care, due to variation in the intensity of health care use, is a key determinant of eligibility policies, and I also find tentative evidence of an effect for payment policies. Because rising health care spending increases the cost of providing health insurance coverage, state policy makers in high-spending states enact less generous Medicaid and CHIP policies. Results also indicate that the political environments of states are very important in determining their eligibility policies, but fewer political variables influence payment policies. In addition to including variables not yet examined in the context of Medicaid policy, this study uses an innovative measure of state-level health care spending and carefully constructed dependent variables that lend credibility to causal interpretations of relationships.
Arkansas's Novel Approach to Expanding Health Care Coverage

Published: September 2014

Abstract
The state of Arkansas is implementing a novel approach to expanding health care coverage for individuals newly eligible for Medicaid under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Through a section 1115 demonstration waiver, the state will use federal funding via a premium assistance model to secure private health insurance offered through the newly formed health insurance marketplace to those individuals aged nineteen to sixty-four who have incomes at or below 138 percent of the federal poverty level. As of April 2014, the Health Care Independence Program (HCIP), as it is formally known, had over 155,000 individuals who had been determined eligible. The HCIP premium assistance approach is commonly referred to as the “private option” and was designed to achieve comparable access, network availability, quality of care, and opportunities for improved outcomes for HCIP enrollees (i.e., those who would be eligible for traditional, fee-for-service Medicaid through ACA expansion) when compared with their privately insured counterparts. This article provides the background, political discourse, policy development, evaluation strategy, and progress report for this innovative new program.

Published: September 2014

A mosca-negra-dos-citros, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby, é uma séria praga da cultura dos citros e de outras frutíferas de importância econômica. Constitui-se praga quarentenária presente ou A2 de alerta máximo, restringindo o comércio com outras regiões livres de sua presença. A partir de sua primeira ocorrência, no ano de 2001 na cidade de Belém, houve sua rápida disseminação para outros estados e regiões citrícolas do Brasil. Por ser uma praga exótica, conhecimentos básicos são escassos para se implementar o manejo adequado do inseto em território brasileiro. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo é o de disponibilizar informações a respeito de aspectos importantes de A. woglumi, como: histórico e distribuição geográfica, bioecologia, plantas hospedeiras, métodos de controle adotados, dentre outros, a fim de se fornecer subsídios para futuras pesquisas sobre a mosca-negra-dos-citros no Brasil.

Published: September 2014

A reprodução de parasitóides apresenta etapas interligadas e a idade de hospedeiros e parasitóides pode afetar o desenvolvimento desses últimos. Características biológicas de fêmeas de Trichospilus diatraeae Cherian & Margabandhu (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), com até 96 horas de idade, foram estudadas em pupas do hospedeiro alternativo Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Cada pupa de A. gemmatalis com 0-24, 24-48, 48-72 ou 72-96 horas de idade, foi oferecida ao parasitismo por 10 fêmeas de T. diatraeae com 0-24, 24-48, 48-72 ou 72-96 horas de idade, por 24 horas à 25 ± 2oC, umidade relativa de 70 ± 10% e fotofase de 14 horas. A emergência, o número de descendentes, a duração do ciclo, a razão sexual, a longevidade e largura da cápsula cefálica de machos e de fêmeas de T. diatraeae apresentaram resposta semelhante para o efeito idade das pupas desse hospedeiro e fêmeas desse parasitóide em conjunto. No entanto, houve redução da emergência, número de descendentes e longevidade das fêmeas de T. diatraeae com duração do ciclo se ajustando a uma função quadrática quando se avaliou apenas o efeito da idade do parasitóide. Pupas de A. gemmatalis, com até 96 horas de idade, podem ser usadas para criação massal de T. diatraeae utilizando-se fêmeas desse parasitóide com até 96 horas de idade.Reproduction of Trichospilus diatraeae Cherian & Margabandhu (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Pupae in Relation to Age of the Parasitoid and HostAbstract. Reproduction of parasitoids presents interconnected steps and the ages of hosts and parasitoids can affect the development of parasitoids. Biological parameters of Trichospilus diatraeae Cherian & Margabandhu (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), at up to 96 hours of age were studied on pupae of the alternative host Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) pupae. Each A. gemmatalis pupae from 0-24, 24-48, 48-72 or 72-96 hours of age, was offered to parasitism to 10 females of T. diatraeae at 0-24, 24-48, 48-72 or 72-96 hours of age for 24 hours at 25 ± 2°C, relative humidity of 70 ± 10% and photophase of 14 hours. Emergency, number of offspring, length of cycle, sex ratio, longevity and width of cephalic capsule of males and females of T. diatraeae showed similar response when effect of age of pupae and females of parasitoid were evaluate jointly. However, emergency, number of offspring and longevity of females of T. diatraeae were reduced as length of cycle was being adjusted to a quadratic function when only effect of age of parasitoid was evaluated. Pupae of A. gemmatalis with up to 96 hours of age can be used for mass rearing of T. diatraeae using females at up to 96 hours of age.

The family Simuliidae is implicated as containing the vectors of human filariid worms (Onchocerca volvulus Leuckart e Mansonella ozzardi Manson) in north region of Brazil. The objectives of this study were (i) to describe the occurrence of black fly species in two riverine communities from Rondônia; (ii) to evaluate the abundance patterns and temporal distribution (monthly and daily) of two blackfly species and (iii) to investigate possible climatic effects in the blackflies abundance. Adult collections were done during September/2008 to December/2009, in the diurnal period, 08:00 to 10:00 AM and 03:00 to 05:00 PM. Cerqueirellum pydanieli Pessoa, Medeiros & Barbosa was the most abundant species during all months, and in both riverine communities. More blackflies were sampled during the morning than afternoon for both species (C. pydanieli and Chirostilbia pertinax Kollar). It was observed a tendency to alteration in the daily activity peaks due to the rainfall period. In these communities were captured 11 Simuliidae species, which provide new records for the state of Rondônia: C. pydanieli, Coscaroniellum ulyssesi (Py-Daniel & Coscarón) and Ectemnaspis rorotaense (Floch & Abonnenc).

Published: September 2014

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the organometallic synthesis of pure rhenium nanoparticles (Re NPs) and their characterization by a combination of state-of-the art techniques (TEM, HAADF-STEM, EDX, WAXS, EA, FT-IR). The Re NPs synthesis is achieved by reducing the [Re2(C3H5)4] complex in solution under a dihydrogen atmosphere and in the presence of hexadecylamine or polyvinylpyrrolidone as stabilizing agents. The so-obtained Re NPs are monodisperse with a mean size of 1.1 nm (0.3) nm and display a spherical shape with a disordered hcp structure.

ABSTRACTThe organometallic approach was successfully applied to synthesize water-soluble ruthenium nanoparticles displaying interesting catalytic properties in hydrogenation of unsaturated model-substrates. Nanocatalyst synthesis was performed by hydrogenation of the complex [Ru(COD)(COT)] in the presence of sulfonated diphosphines and cyclodextrins as protective agents providing very small ruthenium nanoparticles (ca. 1.2-1.5 nm) with narrow size distribution and high stability. Catalysis results in water evidenced a control of the surface properties of these novel ruthenium nanocatalysts at a supramolecular level.
An Innovative ES-PCP Technology and Key Learnings from Field Trials in the Kern River Field, Bakersfield, CA
Authors: Franks Spencer , Cochran Jamie 
Published: September 2014

Abstract
An estimated 90% of wells worldwide use some method of artificial lift to assist in the production of reservoir fluids. The type of artificial lift employed has a direct impact on an operator's ability to realize maximum potential from developing an oil or gas field. This paper will outline the development, field trials and path forward of an innovative artificial lift system at the Kern River Field in Bakersfield, CA. This artificial lift system combines an electric submersible permanent magnet motor and drivetrain (ES) with a progressive cavity pump (PCP). This ES-PCP allows for significant benefits over other methods of artificial lift in terms of system efficiency, pump placement, reduced power consumption, use in deviated or horizontal wells, and its ability to handle produced solids. Additionally, this ES-PCP system allows for a smaller footprint and environmental benefits as compared to other artificial lift systems. In 2013 a pilot was conducted for the first field trial of this artificial lift system at the Kern River Field. This paper will elaborate on the key learnings derived from these field trials.
