description: Of particular interest for radio and hard X-ray diagnostics of accelerated electrons during solar flares is the understanding of the basic non-linear mechanisms regulating the relaxation of electron beams propagating in turbulent plasmas. In this work, it is shown that in addition to scattering of beam electrons, scattering of the beam-generated Langmuir waves via for instance mode-coupling, can also result in broadening of the wave-particle resonance. We obtain a resonance-broadened version of weak-turbulence theory with mode-coupling to ion-sound modes. Resonance broadening is presented here as a unified framework which can quantitatively account for the reduction and possible suppression of the beam instability due to background scattering of the beam electrons themselves or due to scattering of the beam-generated Langmuir waves in fluctuating plasmas. Resonance broadening being essentially equivalent to smoothing of the electron phase-space distribution, it is used to construct an intuitive physical picture for the stability of inverted populations of fast electrons that are commonly observed \emph{in-situ} to propagate in the solar-wind.

Impact of an Intervention Program on Minority Medical Students' National Board Part I Performance

Year: 1984

description: An intervention program employing test-skills instruction and cooperative learning methods was presented to second-year minority medical students at a major state-supported medical school. The purpose was to enhance minority students' passing rate on Part I of the National Board of Medical Examiners examination. Nineteen of the 21 second-year minority students participated in the program. After the program had been conducted, it was observed that the passing rate of the minority students during that year significantly surpassed the rate of minority students from the previous year. Participants' passing rate approached the passing rate of the nonminority students in the class. Moreover, the mean National Board Examination score for the students participating in the program was not statistically different from that observed for an equal number of randomly selected second-year nonminority students. The results of the program were encouraging; further examination of the effects of support-intervention efforts on minority and nonminority medical students' performance are suggested.

description: We prove that for a generic skew product with circle fiber over an Anosov diffeomorphism the Milnor attractor (also called the likely limit set) coincides with the statistical attractor, is Lyapunov stable, and either has zero Lebesgue measure or coincides with the whole phase space. As a consequence we conclude that such skew product is either transitive or has non-wandering set of zero measure. The result is proved under the assumption that the fiber maps preserve the orientation of the circle, and the skew product is partially hyperbolic.

description: The known members of the class of hyperluminous X-ray sources (HLXs) are few in number, yet they are of great interest as they are regarded as the likeliest intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) candidates amongst the wider population of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). Here we report optical photometry and spectroscopy of a HLX candidate associated with the galaxy IC 4320, that reveal it is a background AGN. We discuss the implications of the exclusion of this object from the small number of well-studied HLXs, that appears to accentuate the difference in characteristics between the good IMBH candidate ESO 243-49 HLX-1 and the small handful of other HLXs.

description: Afferent pupillary defects may accompany asymmetric primary open-angle glaucoma, though the exact incidence has not been reported. Charts were reviewed on 89 patients attending the Glaucoma/Uveitis Clinic at the North Carolina Memorial Hospital in Chapel Hill, North Carolina over a five-year period. All patients had primary open-angle glaucoma diagnosed by: (1) increased ocular tensions (22 mmHg) in the presence of open-anterior-chamber angles and (2) optic-nerve cupping and atrophy compatible with (3) pressure-dependent, visual-field loss. No subjects with secondary glaucomas, primary-angle-closure glaucoma, or ocular hypertension are included.The presence of the relative afferent pupillary defect was noted in 21 of 89 patients (23 percent). Sixteen of 70 black patients had relative afferent pupillary defect in the more severely affected eye, while five of 19 white patients demonstrated afferent pupils. Other demographic characteristics of this population are described. Two typical primary-open-angle glaucoma patients are discussed to demonstrate comparable changes within the optic nerves and Goldmann visual fields. The presence of the relative afferent pupillary defect best correlates with asymmetric, visual-field loss in the more severely affected eye.

description: Lattice QCD simulations are now reaching a precision where isospin breaking effects become important. Previously, we have developed a program to systematically investigate the pattern of flavor symmetry beaking within QCD and successfully applied it to meson and baryon masses involving up, down and strange quarks. In this Letter we extend the calculations to QCD + QED and present our first results on isospin splittings in the pseudoscalar meson and baryon octets. In particular, we obtain the nucleon mass difference of $M_n-M_p=1.35(18)(8)\,\mbox{MeV}$ and the electromagnetic contribution to the pion splitting $M_{π^+}-M_{π^0}=4.60(20)\,\mbox{MeV}$. Further we report first determination of the separation between strong and electromagnetic contributions in the $\bar{MS}$ scheme.

description: This paper proposes Navigo, a location based packet forwarding mechanism for vehicular Named Data Networking (NDN). Navigo takes a radically new approach to address the challenges of frequent connectivity disruptions and sudden network changes in a vehicle network. Instead of forwarding packets to a specific moving car, Navigo aims to fetch specific pieces of data from multiple potential carriers of the data. The design provides (1) a mechanism to bind NDN data names to the producers' geographic area(s); (2) an algorithm to guide Interests towards data producers using a specialized shortest path over the road topology; and (3) an adaptive discovery and selection mechanism that can identify the best data source across multiple geographic areas, as well as quickly react to changes in the V2X network.

description: The problem of damping a system of linear oscillators is considered. The problem is solved by using a control in the form of dry friction. The motion of the system under the control is governed by a system of differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side. A uniqueness and continuity theorem is proved for the phase flow of this system. Thus, the control in the form of generalized dry friction defines the motion of the system of oscillators uniquely.

description: Generalized-ensemble simulations enable the study of complex adsorption scenarios of a coarse-grained model polymer near an attractive nanostring, representing an ultrathin nanowire. We perform canonical and microcanonical statistical analyses to investigate structural transitions of the polymer and discuss their dependence on the temperature and on model parameters such as effective wire thickness and attraction strength. The result is a complete hyperphase diagram of the polymer phases, whose locations and stability are influenced by the effective material properties of the nanowire and the strength of the thermal fluctuations. Major structural polymer phases in the adsorbed state include compact droplets attached to or wrapping around the wire, and tubelike conformations with triangular pattern that resemble ideal boron nanotubes. The classification of the transitions is performed by microcanonical inflection-point analysis.
Combining Test-Taking Intervention With Course Remediation: Effects on National Board Subtest Performance

description: Effects of test-taking skills instruction over a five-year period were assessed by examining retest performances of second-year medical students who, because of unsatisfactory performance, were required to repeat National Board Part I subtests and who all participated in a summer review program. Two groups of students were involved in the study: an intervention group consisting of 14 students who participated in a special intervention program involving test-taking skills instruction and a comparison group that included 13 nonparticipants. The intervention group's mean retest performance was significantly greater (F = 9.38, P < .005). The results suggest that intervention programs can have a significant impact on academic success, and deserve serious consideration by medical students who demonstrate low performances on examinations because of comparatively poor test-taking skills and for students undergoing academic remediation.

description: La produttività del lavoro con il passare del tempo, e con l’avanzamento del progresso tecnologico, è cresciuta di circa 8-10 volte in media nei paesi europei dalla fine del 1800. La produttività del lavoro, altro non è che la quantità di merce prodotta da un lavoratore in un giorno o in un’ora di lavoro. Essa dipende in modo cruciale dal progresso tecnologico e dalla dotazione di capitale e di strumenti di lavoro disponibili in un certo periodo e in mano effettivamente al lavoratore. Nel 1800, la scarsa dotazione di capitale e di strumenti di lavoro avanzati, e lo scarso livello di progresso tecnologico, mantenevano i livelli produttivi molto bassi, di conseguenza anche i livelli di reddito erano bassi. Oggi, il notevole avanzamento del progresso tecnologico, avvenuto in modo vertiginoso soprattutto nel secondo dopoguerra, permette di avere una produttività del lavoro molto più alta, quindi un livello di produzione molto più alto e conseguentemente un livello di reddito molto più alto. Tuttavia, attraverso una rassegna teorica, e un’analisi empirica di lungo periodo, con dati che provengono dal database storico di Angus Madison, vedremo che la produttività del lavoro, nell’economia nel suo aggregato, diventa un fenomeno endogeno, che dipende essenzialmente dalla espansione della domanda e dall’andamento del reddito, che trainano a loro volta investimenti “capital intensive” e progresso tecnico.

description: Most health professionals understand the importance of targeting behaviors, not groups, for disease prevention. Yet with regard to acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) education programming, target groups have been defined by salient demographic traits, including race, in part due to incomplete knowledge about risk behaviors in various groups. As a result, community and school-based education programs have suffered some mistrust and resentment. This article reports the findings of original research on attitude and behavioral differences between and within racial groups for a college student sample, in response to AIDS education programming. Differences in baseline attitudes and behaviors showed that AIDS-related risk cannot be primarily associated with minority group status. Implications on refinement of targeting strategies are discussed.

This homogeneous geometry is non-trivial in the sense that it is neither of constant curvature nor a product of constant curvature manifolds. Using the Hamiltonian formalism, we identify the mass and entropy of the black hole solution. Curiously enough, in spite of the fact that the entropy turns to be negative, the mass is positive and the first law of thermodynamics holds. We also discuss the extension in higher dimension.

description: This study examined the associated effects of acute test-taking anxiety on the performance of a class of second-year medical students who took Part I of the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Examination. The study is a follow-up of a previous study that examined the related effects of chronic anxiety on NBME Part I performance. The purpose of this study was to observe whether there was a relationship between acute anxiety and NBME performance and, further, if there were distinguishable differences in the effects of acute and chronic test anxiety on NBME performance. The first study indicated a significant relationship between chronic anxiety and NBME performance. The results of the present study indicate a relationship between acute test anxiety and NBME performance, but not to the extent associated with chronic anxiety, thus chronic test anxiety may be a more critical factor affecting test performance on critical examinations such as the NBME. Implications concerning anxiety and test performance are discussed.
Energy-Efficient Symbol-Level Precoding in Multiuser MISO Based on Relaxed Detection Region

description: This paper addresses the problem of exploiting interference among simultaneous multiuser transmissions in the downlink of multiple-antenna systems. Using symbol-level precoding, a new approach towards addressing the multiuser interference is discussed through jointly utilizing the channel state information (CSI) and data information (DI). The interference among the data streams is transformed under certain conditions to a useful signal that can improve the signal-to-interference noise ratio (SINR) of the downlink transmissions and as a result the system's energy efficiency. In this context, new constructive interference precoding techniques that tackle the transmit power minimization (min power) with individual SINR constraints at each user's receiver have been proposed. In this paper, we generalize the CI precoding design under the assumption that the received MPSK symbol can reside in a relaxed region in order to be correctly detected. Moreover, a weighted maximization of the minimum SNR among all users is studied taking into account the relaxed detection region. Symbol error rate analysis (SER) for the proposed precoding is discussed to characterize the tradeoff between transmit power reduction and SER increase due to the relaxation. Based on this tradeoff, the energy efficiency performance of the proposed technique is analyzed. Finally, extensive numerical results show that the proposed schemes outperform other state-of-the-art techniques.

description: This study explores the effects of abuse on the risk-taking behaviors of 2973 black and white adolescent males, 412 of whom were sexually or physically abused. Surveys on mental and physical health, risk-taking behaviors and attitudes, and family living were administered to 9th and 12th graders in an urban midwestern state. The surveys included questions on past history of sexual and physical abuse. More black than white males reported experiencing incest, extrafamilial sexual abuse, and physical abuse. As for outcome risk-taking behaviors, blacks were more likely to use illegal substances, run away, skip school, attempt suicide, force partners into sex, and commit violent acts; however, the racial effects decreased when abuse histories were taken into consideration. Whites were more likely to drink and drive, and to drink before having sex; abuse history did not decrease this racial effect. Abuse but not race was predictive of drinking and of having serious drinking problems. The results point to the importance of pediatricians, psychologists, and other healthcare workers, as well as those in the legal and criminal justice system screening for a history of abuse among adolescents who demonstrate these or other risk-taking behaviors.

description: For enhanced learning outcomes that meet the entrepreneurial needs of the learner and that of society, innovation is relevant in the planning and organizing of content, learning objectives, pedagogical approaches, and educational resources used in teaching and learning. Clear learning objectives, sequencing, assessment alignment, integration of 21st-century knowledge skills, and inclusivity address the educational needs of the learner. Placing the learner at the centre of the learning process is what 21st-century society demands. Since we are in the wake of the fourth industrial revolution; the period of artificial intelligence, the traditional ways of involving learners in the classroom need to be upgraded. Learners need to be empowered to take an active role in their education. This involves the need for innovation in the design of the curriculum and how the teaching and learning process is carried out. Student-centred instruction recognizes that students should be active in learning, have creative and critical thinking skills, have a collaborative spirit regarding learning, and develop the spirit of critical inquiry. This is the need for this theoretical study. There is a need for innovation when designing courses taught in universities. To meet the needs of the learner and society in this fourth industrial revolution, the injection of creative problem-solving skills; a key to entrepreneurial spirit goes a long way in helping the learner to be useful to self and society
Absorption in dipole-lattice models of dielectrics

description: We develop a classical microscopic model of a dielectric. The model features nonlinear interaction terms between polarizable dipoles and lattice vibrations. The lattice vibrations are found to act as a pseudo-reservoir, giving broadband absorption of electromagnetic radiation without the addition of damping terms in the dynamics. The effective permittivity is calculated using a perturbative iteration method and is found to have the form associated with real dielectrics. Spatial dispersion is naturally included in the model and we also calculate the wavevector dependence of the permittivity.

description: Health research on race and ethnicity has been criticized for lacking rigor in conceptualization, terminology, and analysis. Scientific journals' editorial processes help determine research quality. This survey assessed editors' awareness of current debates, attitudes toward recent recommendations, and involvement in developing editorial policies. Twenty-nine editors of health journals with impact factors of > or = 1 (based on citation ratings) were sent a questionnaire including four key problems identified in research literature and recommendations from federal agencies; 23 (79%) responded. Seven editors relevant policies. Two had read the federal directive on racial and ethnic classification; one was aware of its current review. Most perceived the four key problems as uncommon. The majority agreed with Public Health Service recommendations on race and ethnicity research, except for analyzing effects of racism. Approximately 20% had discussed issues with co-editors, editorial boards, or reviewers. About 40% saw further discussion as beneficial; four planned to draft guidelines. Editors' potential for helping resolve problems in race/ethnicity research is not being realized. Greater participation would be beneficial to public health research and practice.

description: Perché la natura delle imprese cooperative  è sempre in discussione? E soprattutto perchè della stessa attenzione non sono oggetto  anche le altre tipologie di imprese come ad esempio quella capitalistica? Esiste forse un pregiudizio o altro nei confronti delle imprese cooperative? A domandarselo in questo capitolo è uno dei leader del movimento cooperativo italiano che a queste e altre domande come quale politica (anche europea) sia oggi necessaria per le imprese cooperative cerca di rispondere in questo capitolo.

description: When using Wannier functions to study the electronic structure of multi-parameter Hamiltonians $H^{(\boldsymbol k,\bf λ)}$ carrying a dependence on crystal momentum $\boldsymbol k$ and an additional periodic parameter $\bfλ$, one usually constructs several sets of Wannier functions for a set of values of $\bfλ$. We present the concept of higher dimensional Wannier functions (HDWFs), which provide a minimal and accurate description of the electronic structure of multi-parameter Hamiltonians based on a single set of HDWFs. The obstacle of non-orthogonality of Bloch functions at different $\bfλ$ is overcome by introducing an auxiliary real space, which is reciprocal to the parameter $\bfλ$. We derive a generalized interpolation scheme and emphasize the essential conceptual and computational simplifications in using the formalism, for instance, in the evaluation of linear response coefficients. We further implement the necessary machinery to construct HDWFs from ab initio within the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method (FLAPW). We apply our implementation to accurately interpolate the Hamiltonian of a one-dimensional magnetic chain of Mn atoms in two important cases of $\bfλ$: (i) the spin-spiral vector $\boldsymbol q$, and (ii) the direction of the ferromagnetic magnetization $\hat{\boldsymbol m}$. Using the generalized interpolation of the energy, we extract the corresponding values of magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy, Heisenberg exchange constants, and spin stiffness, which compare very well with the values obtained from direct first principles calculations. For toy models we demonstrate that the method of HDWFs can also be used in applications such as the virtual crystal approximation, ferroelectric polarization and spin torques.

description: The association between the percent change in first-year and total underrepresented minority student enrollment and the presence of preadmission programs at Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) accredited medical schools was assessed before and during successful legal and legislative challenges to affirmative action. The percent change in under-represented minority student enrollment was determined by comparing enrollment data for the academic years 1993-94 and 1996-97. Schools were categorized as having either a negative or positive percent change in their enrollment of underrepresented minority students. Logistic regression was used to determine the association of the percent change in under-represented minority student enrollment and the presence of a preadmission program while controlling for schools' financial support and the presence of postbaccalaureate programs. Fifty-six percent of the included medical schools had preadmission programs. Schools with a positive percent change were significantly more likely to have preadmission programs compared with schools with a negative percent change. There was no association between the presence of preadmission programs and the percent change in total enrollment. These results indicate that the presence of preadmission programs is positively associated with increases in first-year underrepresented minority student enrollment during the successful challenges to affirmative actions.

description: Communication studies suggest that patient sociodemographic factors are embedded within medical encounters and impact patient expectations, judgments, and outcomes, such as satisfaction. Physician chatting has been suggested as one way to enhance patient satisfaction; however, little is known about chatting within the context of the clinical encounter or of the interaction of chatting with patient sociodemographic factors and patient satisfaction. The study's purpose was to determine the prevalence and patterns of chatting, and to examine the association of chatting with patient sociodemographic factors and patient satisfaction with their physician. A convenience sample of adult outpatients from an urban family practice underwent an exit interview. A total of 105 patients participated; 63 (61%) reported chatting from their recent encounter. No sociodemographic differences were observed between patients reporting chatting and those reporting no chatting. Chatting behavior pertaining to the patient's family or friends was the predominant topic, and more nonwhite (30%) than white (13%) patients reported this activity (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in satisfaction scores between patients that reported chatting behavior and those that did not (23.73 vs. 22.79, p=0.076). In addition, there was no difference in patient satisfaction scores for physician personal manner, technical skill, visit explanation, time spent with the physician, and overall visit between the chatting and nonchatting groups.

description: AIM: To report the results of a community-based screening program associated with Project DIRECT, a multiyear diabetes mellitus prevention and control project targeting African-American residents of southeast Raleigh, NC. METHODS: Between December 1996 and June 1999, 183 screening events took place in community settings. Screening was by capillary glucose concentration. Participants with a positive screen were referred for confirmatory testing and physician follow-up. MAIN RESULTS: Risk factors for diabetes were prevalent, including ethnic minority race (88.2%), obesity (45.6%), and family history of diabetes (41.7%). In all, 197 persons had an elevated screening result; the prevalence of diabetes in the screened population that underwent follow-up testiing was 1.7%. Despite persistent tracking efforts, 28% of the persons with a high screening test received no final diagnosis CONCLUSIONS: In this community-based screening program targeted to high-risk African Americans, risk factors for diabetes were common, but new cases of undiagnosed diabetes among participants were uncommon. Intensive follow-up for persons with high screening values is necessary but difficult to achieve. Our results support national recommendations against community-based screening; opportunistic screening for diabetes in clinical settings is likely a more effective use of resources.
