Abstract This Technical Design Report presents a detailed description of all aspects the LUXE (Laser Und XFEL Experiment), an experiment that will combine high-quality and high-energy electron beam European with high-intensity laser, to explore uncharted terrain strong-field quantum electrodynamics characterised by both high energy intensity, reaching Schwinger field beyond. The further implications for search physics beyond Standard Model are also discussed.
This paper presents the first experimental realization of a scheme that allows for tuning velocity peak intensity focal spot with relativistic intensity. By combining tunable pulse-front curvature axial deposition characteristics an axiparabola, aspheric optical element, this system provides control over dynamics laser-wakefield accelerators. We demonstrate ability to modify ultrashort laser pulses be superluminal or subluminal. The results are supported by theoretical calculations and...
Never before have so many generations in nursing been asked to work together. The coexistence of 3 is leading intergenerational conflict. current conflict not enticing Generation X seek or maintain careers, therefore exacerbating the shortage. Using theoretic frameworks Conflict and Cohort theories, this article will examine suggest impact generational diversity on future nursing.
We present a novel, to the best of our knowledge, and straightforward approach for spatio-spectral characterization ultrashort pulses. This minimally intrusive method relies on placing mask with specially arranged pinholes in beam path before focusing optic retrieving spectrally resolved laser wavefront from speckle pattern produced at focus. test efficacy this new by accurately chromatic aberrations, such as pulse-front tilt (PFT), curvature (PFC), higher-order aberrations introduced...
Abstract We present a novel, straightforward method for the characterization of spatiotemporal couplings (STCs) in ultra-short laser pulses. The employs far-field interferometry and inverse Fourier transform spectroscopy, built on theoretical basis derived this paper. It stands out its simplicity: it requires few non-standard optical elements simple analysis algorithms. This was used to measure space-time intensity our 100 TW class test efficacy refractive doublet as suppressor pulse front...
Bioterrorism, once a subject of fantasy and speculation, has become all too real in world turned upside down by the September 11, 2001. series events. An essential, but as yet unanswered, question crucial topic for discussion on nightly news living rooms across United States: How much terrorist threat do we face, what must be done to control its potential mass destruction? This article seeks both answer this explore proper plans preparedness eventuality unthinkable.
Because of the current and projected continuance an acute nursing shortage, increased attention is being focused on workplace environment. This article encourages leadership to examine feasibility implementing a servant-leadership model as possible methodology for securing retaining future staff.
The aim of this study was to examine whether universal insurance coverage mandates lead a more productive use hospital resources.The American Hospital Association's Annual Survey and the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services' case mix index fiscal years 2005 through 2008 were used.A Malmquist approach used assess hospitals' productivity in United States Massachusetts over sample period. Propensity score matching is "simulate" randomized control group hospitals from other markets compare...
The fast-paced change in today's health care environment presents an unsettling organizational climate within which managers must make important decisions that affect key stakeholders. This ambiguousness has resulted the proliferation of organizations are bundling together to find a sense environmental stability they can achieve common goals. means need view stakeholders as parts larger bundles rather than only individual organizations.
Emergency departments (EDs) represent a critical entryway into America's health care delivery system and are under significant pressure. This study seeks to understand why insured patients use EDs rather than more appropriate medical alternatives available reduce the strain they placing on this portal of entry. exploratory research surveyed presenting 1 4 Central Florida EDs. Factor analysis cluster were used identify groups ED users defined by motivating factors. found that there exists...
A study was undertaken to establish a framework measure the value of rapid rehabilitation and identify indicators quantify effective outcomes efficient processes as health care services are delivered aging population across providers, services, settings. The protocol serving intervention in this research provides patients (≥65 years old) option transition from acute-care hospital, early continuum care, an outpatient, skilled nursing facility operated by division hospital organization....
The debate over which health care providers are most capably meeting their responsibilities in serving the public's interest continues unabated, and comparisons of not-for-profit (NFP) versus for-profit (FP) hospitals remain at epicenter discussion. From perspective available factual information, two sides to this is correct? This article part I a 2-part series on comparing contrasting performance records NFP with FP counterparts. Although it demonstrated that both perform virtuous selfless...
As hospitals fight for their portion of reimbursed health care expenditures, it will become increasingly necessary to investigate alternative funding mechanisms. In-house laboratories, which have likely been seen in the past as pure cost centers, can be repositioned provide additional revenue hospitals. This opportunity in-house laboratories remade into profit centers is predicated upon a thorough understanding environmental factors affecting hospital laboratories. article examines 4...
This article provides a comprehensive picture of the manner in which uncompensated care patients utilize emergency departments (EDs) two Central Florida hospitals. Specifically, this study assesses impact treating and primary ED settings on scarce hospital community resources. Recommendations are being offered to manage troubling situation that is occurring with alarming frequency today's health system throughout United States. Special emphasis placed recommendations addressing alternative...
For the past 30 years, largest growing segment of United States economy is health care industry.
