IMPORTANCE Socioeconomic and behavioral factors can negatively influence posthospital outcomes among patients of low socioeconomic status (SES). Traditional hospital personnel often lack the time, skills, community linkages required to address these factors. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a tailored health worker (CHW) intervention would improve low-SES patients. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS A 2-armed, single-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted between April 10, 2011, October...

SHERLOC is an arm-mounted fluorescence and Raman spectrometer that was recently selected to be part of the payload for next proposed NASA rover mission Mars, scheduled launch in 2020. enables non-contact, spatially resolved, high sensitivity detection characterization organics minerals on Martian surface. The investigation goals are assess past aqueous history, detect presence preservation potential biosignatures, support selection samples caching return Earth.
Abstract Earth’s climate is strongly influenced by energy deficits at the poles that emit more thermal than they receive from sun. Energy exchanges between surface and atmosphere influence local environment while heat transport lower latitudes drives midlatitude atmospheric oceanic circulations. In Arctic, in particular, imbalances induce strong seasonality surface–atmosphere an acute sensitivity to forced variations. Despite these important global influences, largest contributions polar...
A landscape model was developed to investigate and predict the environmental factors affecting wetland habitat change within Barataria Terrebonne basins of coastal Louisiana, USA. The linked an overland-flooding hydrodynamic module, using cells 100 km2 in size operating at a 1-h time step, spatially articulated ecosystem resolving type for 1-km2 daily steps. Integration across different temporal spatial scales accomplished with interpolation routines averaging algorithms. Forcing functions...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether lengthening the dwell time peripheral i.v. catheters from 72 hours 144 resulted in increased rates phlebitis and/or infiltration. conducted medical/surgical units at a 110-bed teaching hospital with an team. Kaplan-Meier estimates success and failure conditional probabilities were calculated for infiltration scores. Log rank tests used test association between covariates until failure.

ASTERIA (Arcsecond Space Telescope Enabling Research In Astrophysics) is a 6U CubeSat space telescope (10 cm x 20 30 cm, 10 kg). ASTERIA's primary mission objective was demonstrating two key technologies for reducing systematic noise in photometric observations: high-precision pointing control and high-stabilty thermal control. demonstrated 0.5 arcsecond RMS stability $\pm$10 milliKelvin of its camera payload during mission, significant improvement performance compared to other spacecraft...
The optical systems for the transmitter and receiver of a high-power lidar stratospheric measurements have been designed analyzed. system requirements design results are presented explained. An important driving factor this was requirement small image diameter in plane an chopper to allow high-intensity returns from lower atmosphere be shielded detection system. Some relevant performance presented. resulting has constructed is now operation at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, making regular...
The authors propose an integration of the concepts spirituality and spiritual self-care within Orem’s deficit nursing theory as a critical step in development. Theoretical clarity is needed to understand contributions health well-being. Spirituality beliefs persons hold related their subjective sense existential connectedness including that reflect relationships with others, acknowledge higher power, recognize individual’s place world, lead practices. Spiritual set spiritually-based...
Abstract The Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) instrument for the Earth Observing System (EOS) will provide a unique opportunity studying ecology and climate of through acquisition systematic, global multiangle imagery in reflected sunlight. MISR employs nine discrete cameras pointed at fixed angles, viewing nadir direction forward aftward along spacecraft ground track. Each camera is charge‐coupled‐device –based pushbroom imager. Within 7‐minute period, every point 204‐km‐wide...

A lidar facility has been established at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory- Table Mountain Facility located an altitude of 2300 m in San Gabriel Mountains Southern California. This is using technique differential absorption to measure atmospheric ozone concentration profiles. Two separate systems are needed obtain profile from ground up 45 50 km. Nd:YAG-based system described for measurements 1 5 20 km altitude, and excimer-laser-based 15 altitude. The were designed make high-precision,...
Hyperspectral sensing using ground-based equipment has been demonstrated to be successful in determining pasture nutrient content (N, P, K, S) and parameters such as dry matter metabolisable energy. This technology needed up-scaled so that large areas could rapidly covered with adequate spatial resolution. paper describes work which demonstrates a progression from hyperspectral imaging utilises the visible, near infrared short wave parts of electromagnetic spectrum. Large scale calibration...
NASA's Parker Solar Probe (PSP) spacecraft (formerly Plus) is scheduled for launch in July 2018 with a planned heliocentric orbit that will carry it on series of close passes by the Sun perihelion distances eventually get below 10 solar radii. Among other in-situ and imaging sensors, PSP payload includes two-instrument "Integrated Science Investigation Sun" suite, which make coordinated measurements energetic ions electrons. The high-energy instrument (EPI-Hi), operating MeV energy range,...
Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of mortality and morbidity among women in United States, resulting 25,000 deaths annually. Despite this high figure, most survive. Although evidence suggests that depression common after myocardial infarction (MI), there are limited data on how impacts women's recovery their first event. The purpose study was to describe relationship between quality life a MI.A convenience sample 27 (mean age = 60.7 years) with MI completed study. Depression...
An evidence-based study examined the effectiveness of 2 solutions, heparin and normal saline, when used to flush capped pediatric peripheral intravenous (CPP IV) catheters. This experimental assessed patency, redness, swelling, clotting, bruising, leakage, patient pain after each intervention/flush. Study participants included 62 children (32 30 saline) who had CPP IV catheters using 20-, 22-, or 24-gauge No statistically significant differences were found in catheter patency between saline...

Abstract HD 219134 is a K3V dwarf star with six reported radial-velocity discovered planets. The two innermost planets b and c show transits, raising the possibility of this system to be nearest (6.53 pc), brightest ( V = 5.57) example compact multiple transiting planet system. Ground-based searches for transits beyond are not feasible because infrequent long transit duration (∼5 hr), shallow depths (<1%), large time uncertainty (∼half day). We use space-based telescopes Arcsecond Space...
