Abstract: The US National Institutes of Health distributed US$10 billion of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) research funds among principal investigators (PIs) in 2009–10. We studied how well the program created and retained jobs. To analyze the distribution of ARRA funding among PIs, we categorized them on the basis of their history of research funding, and the type of funding (ARRA and non-ARRA), each received in 2009 and 2010. These classifications provide insights into who received ARRA funding and how many research PI jobs were created or retained. We found that most recipients of ARRA awards already had grants and that new and retained PIs received relatively small shares of ARRA funds. Of 13,000 PIs, only 3,000 were created or retained, while the other 10,000 received additional funding. The ARRA was more efficient in creating PIs than the comparable budget doubling period. But, the PI job effect did not last.

Abstract: This study sought (1) to identify factors that influence women's willingness to accept voluntary HIV counseling and testing at New York State Family Planning Programs (FPPs) and Prenatal Care Assistance Programs (PCAPs) and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of such a voluntary counseling and testing program. Telephone interviews elicited organizational-level data from 136 agencies; a combination of telephone and face-to-face interviews was used to gather provider data from 98 HIV counselors; and client data were gathered from 354 women in face-to-face interviews at counseling sites. Slightly fewer than 60% of women agreed to be counseled, and, of those, under half consented to an HIV test at the counseling site. Approximately two thirds of the women who were tested returned for their results and posttest counseling. Clients' recall of pretest counseling content was relatively poor. Bivariate and regression analyses suggest that client, provider, and organizational factors are all associated with rates of pretest counseling and testing. The current voluntary counseling and testing program is achieving only moderate success. Although a substantial number of clients accept HIV counseling, many women remain reluctant to consent to HIV testing, and many who accept testing do not return for their results. Moreover, among those who receive pretest counseling, many do not recall important informational content, which suggests variation may exist in the quality of counseling or that one-time HIV counseling interventions are insufficient to communicate complex information. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): AIDS, HIV serodiagnosis, women's health, patient education.

Abstract: This Letter reports a search for a narrow resonant state decaying into two W bosons and two b quarks where one W boson decays leptonically and the other decays into a quark-antiquark pair. The search is particularly sensitive to top-antitop resonant production. We use the full data sample of proton-antiproton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.45 fb(-1). No evidence for resonant production is found, and upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio for a narrow resonant state are extracted. Within a specific benchmark model, we exclude a Z’ boson with mass, M-Z’, below 915 GeV/c(2) decaying into a top-antitop pair at the 95% credibility level assuming a Z’ boson decay width of Gamma(Z’) = 0.012M(Z’). This is the most sensitive search for a narrow q (q) over bar -initiated t (t) over bar resonance in the mass region below 750 GeV/c(2). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.121802

Abstract: We measure the polarization of W bosons from top-quark (t) decays into final states with a charged lepton and jets, t (t) over bar -> W(+)bW(-)(b) over bar -> lvbq (q) over bar (1)(b) over bar, using the full Run II data set collected by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1). A model-independent method simultaneously determines the fraction of longitudinal (f(0)) and right-handed (f(+)) W bosons to yield f(0) = 0.726 +/- 0.066(stat) +/- 0.067(syst) and f(+) = -0.045 +/- 0.044(stat) +/- 0.058(syst) with a correlation coefficient of -0.69. Additional results are presented under various standard model assumptions. No significant discrepancies with the standard model are observed. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevD.87.031104

Abstract: We present a combination of searches for the standard model Higgs boson using the full CDF run II data set, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.45-10.0 fb(-1) collected from root s = 1.96 TeV p (p) over bar collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron. The searches consider Higgs boson production from gluon-gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion, and associated production with either a W or Z boson or a t (t) over bar pair. Depending on the production mode, Higgs boson decays to W+W-, ZZ, b (b) over bar, tau(+)tau(-), and gamma gamma are examined. We search for a Higgs boson with masses (m(H)) in the range 90-200 GeV/c(2). In the absence of a signal, we expect based on combined search sensitivity to exclude at the 95% credibility level the mass regions 90 < m(H) < 94 GeV/c(2), 96 < m(H) < 106 GeV/c(2), and 153 < m(H) < 175 GeV/c(2). The observed exclusion regions are 90 < m(H) < 102 GeV/c(2) and 149 < m(H) < 172 GeV/c(2). A moderate excess of signal-like events relative to the background expectation at the level of 2.0 standard deviations is present in the data for the m(H) = 125 GeV/c(2) search hypothesis. We also present interpretations of the data within the context of a fermiophobic model and an alternative standard model incorporating a fourth generation of fermions. Finally, for the hypothesis of a new particle with mass 125 GeV/c(2), we constrain the coupling strengths of the new particle to W-+/- bosons, Z bosons, and fermions.

Abstract: The first observation of the production of a W boson with a single charm quark (c) jet in p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV is reported. The analysis uses data corresponding to 4.3 fb(-1), recorded with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. Charm quark candidates are selected through the identification of an electron or muon from charm-hadron semileptonic decay within a hadronic jet, and a Wc signal is observed with a significance of 5.7 standard deviations. The production cross section sigma(Wc) (p(Tc) > 20 GeV/c, vertical bar eta(c)vertical bar < 1.5) x B(W -> l nu) is measured to be 13.6(-3.1)(+3.4) pb and is in agreement with theoretical expectations. From this result the magnitude of the quark-mixing matrix element V-cs is derived, vertical bar V-cs vertical bar = 1.08 +/- 0.16 along with a lower limit of vertical bar V-cs vertical bar > 0.71 at the 95% confidence level, assuming that the Wc production through c to s quark coupling is dominant.

Abstract: We present new measurements of the inclusive forward-backward t (y) over bar production asymmetry, A(FB), and its dependence on several properties of the t (t) over bar system. The measurements are performed with the full Tevatron data set recorded with the CDF II detector during p (p) over bar collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9.4 fb(-1). We measure the asymmetry using the rapidity difference Delta y = y(t) - y((t) over bar) Parton-level results are derived, yielding an inclusive asymmetry of 0.164 +/- 0.047(stat + syst). We establish an approximately linear dependence of AFB on the top-quark pair mass M-t (t) over bar and the rapidity difference vertical bar Delta y vertical bar at detector and parton levels. Assuming the standard model, the probabilities to observe the measured values or larger for the detector-level dependencies are 7.4 x 10(-3) and 2.2 x 10(-3) for M-tt and vertical bar Delta y vertical bar respectively. Lastly, we study the dependence of the asymmetry on the transverse momentum of the t (t) over bar system at the detector level. These results are consistent with previous lower-precision measurements and provide additional quantification of the functional dependencies of the asymmetry.

Abstract: This Letter reports a measurement of the cross section for producing pairs of central prompt isolated photons in proton-antiproton collisions at a total energy root s = 1:96 TeV using data corresponding to 9:5 fb(-1) integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measured differential cross section is compared to three calculations derived from the theory of strong interactions. These include a prediction based on a leading order matrix element calculation merged with a parton shower model, a next-to-leading order calculation, and a next-to-next-to-leading order calculation. The first and last calculations reproduce most aspects of the data, thus showing the importance of higher-order contributions for understanding the theory of strong interaction and improving measurements of the Higgs boson and searches for new phenomena in diphoton final states.

Abstract: We present a search for the pair production of a narrow nonstandard-model strongly interacting particle that decays to a pair of quarks or gluons, leading to a final state with four hadronic jets. We consider both nonresonant production via an intermediate gluon as well as resonant production via a distinct nonstandard-model intermediate strongly interacting particle. We use data collected by the CDF experiment in proton-antiproton collisions at root s = 1.96 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 6.6 fb(-1). We find the data to be consistent with nonresonant production. We report limits on sigma(p (p) over bar -> jjjj) as a function of the masses of the hypothetical intermediate particles. Upper limits on the production cross sections for nonstandard-model particles in several resonant and nonresonant processes are also derived.

Abstract: We report on a search for B-s(0) -> mu(+)mu(-) and B-0 -> mu(+)mu(-) decays using proton-antiproton collision data at root s = 1.96 TeV corresponding to 10 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The observed number of B-0 candidates is consistent with background-only expectations and yields an upper limit on the branching fraction of B(B-0 -> mu(+)mu(-)) < 4.6 x 10(-9) at 95% confidence level. We observe an excess of B-s(0) candidates. The probability that the background processes alone could produce such an excess or larger is 0.94%. The probability that the combination of background and the expected standard model rate of B-s(0) -> mu(+)mu(-) could produce such an excess or larger is 6.8%. These data are used to determine a branching fraction B(B-s(0) -> mu(+)mu(-)) = (1.3(-0.7)(+0.9) x 10(-8) and provide an upper limit of B(B-s(0) -> mu(+)mu(-)) < 3.1 x 10(-8) at 95% confidence level.

Abstract: We present a measurement of the mass difference between top (t) and antitop ((t) over bar) quarks using t (t) over bar candidate events reconstructed in the final state with one lepton and multiple jets. We use the full data set of Tevatron root s = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions recorded by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb(-1). We estimate event by event the mass difference to construct templates for top pair signal events and background events. The resulting mass difference distribution in data compared to signal and background templates using a likelihood fit yields Delta M-top = M-t - M-(t) over bar = -1.95 +/- 1.11(stat) +/- 0.59(syst) GeV/c(2) and is in agreement with the standard model prediction of no mass difference.

Abstract: We present an updated search for the Higgs boson produced in association with a vector boson in the final state with missing transverse energy and two jets. We use the full CDF data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9: 45 fb(-1) at a proton-antiproton center-of-mass energy of root s = 1.96 TeV. New to this analysis is the inclusion of a b-jet identification algorithm specifically optimized for H -> b (b) over bar searches. Across the Higgs boson mass range 90 b (b) over bar branching fraction are improved by an average of 14% relative to the previous analysis. At a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV/c(2), the observed (expected) limit is 3.06 (3.33) times the standard model prediction, corresponding to one of the most sensitive searches to date in this final state.

Abstract: New York State's prison population has the highest seroprevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) among incarcerated populations in the United States. Five percent of the State prison inmate population is female. To date there have been few studies of incarcerated females in New York State (NYS). Seroprevalence rates have ranged from 18.9% to as high as 29%. In 1991, counselors from the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) AIDS Institute's Criminal Justice Initiative, in collaboration with the State's Department of Correctional Services (NYSDOCS), began to offer educational services and anonymous pretest counseling, HIV antibody testing, and posttest counseling to NYS female prisoners. With preliminary program testing data (N = 216) descriptive and multivariate techniques are used to evaluate the demographic and risk-related behaviors associated with HIV infection among female inmates in this voluntary HIV testing program. Results are discussed in light of previous research findings regarding the correlates of HIV seropositivity among New York State prison inmates and compared to previous blinded epidemiological studies of female inmates in the State. Future research, addressing the limitations of this preliminary study, is proposed.

Abstract: Colored micron-sized methyl methacrylate particles have been obtained by dispersion polymerization of methyl methacrylate and an azo-monomer in the presence of vinyl silane oxazoline macromonomer used as stabilizer. The polymerizable dye has a methacryloyl group for copolymerization and suitable azobenzene moiety to improve the solubility in the solvent. The particles showed a spherical morphology and large size distribution, features which were appreciated by scanning electron microscopy. The azo-dye could be covalently incorporated up to 4 wt% in the particles. The thermal properties of the particles were investigated by simultaneous DSC-TGA analysis. The particles showed clear Tgs at 128 °C and thermal stability up to 292 °C. The copolymer's chemical structures were confirmed by 1H-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy and their average molecular weights were evaluated by SEC.

Abstract: In this paper we present a series of side-chain polymers bearing original azo-moieties, namely: poly(methacrylate)s and poly(maleimide-styrene)s; designed for nonlinear optics (NLO). The different classes of azopolymers are discussed comparatively to one another from the point of view of: solubility, molar weights, glass transition temperatures & thermal stability, chromophore contents, and as well as from the point of view of their third-nonlinear response. The third-order nonlinear absorptive and refractive effect of the polymers containing different substituted azobenzene chromophores were investigated by the Z-scan technique. The effect of substituents on the azobenzene group and the composition of the polymer chain were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Abstract: We report the synthesis of five new hybrid polymeric structures obtained by free radical copolymerization of some organic azo-based methacrylate m onomers and 3-methacryloxypropyl trim ethoxysilane (MEMO). The copolymers are soluble in common solvents like methylene chloride, chloroform, dichlorbenzene, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide. The copolymeric structures might be interesting from the point of view of nonlinear optical response due to a rich content in chromophoric units determined by H-NMR spectroscopy. The structures were also characterized by FT-IR spectrosc opy, TGA and SEC analysis. Keywords : azobenzene, MEMO, hybrid, methacr ylate monomers, NLO, copolymers. 1. INTRODUCTION During the last two decades, material s such as chemically or physically modified PMMA matrix with organic dyes were investigated for their SHG /THG nonlinear optical response 1-5 . The "classic" PMMA matrix alone proved not to be a very good media for chromophores, allowing a fast relaxation of the oriented dipoles after removing the electric field

19. ANALYSIS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND IMPACT OF DECISION RESULTS ON THE EFFICIENCY OF LARGE ENERGY ENTERPRISES.

Author: Buşe, Florian, Mangu, D. Sorin-Iuliu, Buşe, Gheorghe-Florin, and Tiuzbaian, Ioan-Nicolae
Subjects: *CORPORATE culture, *ENERGY industries, *ENERGY consumption, *ECONOMIC competition, *CUSTOMER satisfaction
Abstract: The paper begins with the idea that in a large energy enterprise, formed by merging several energy companies with a mining company, the organizational culture is the key to success. The paper underlines the close connection between the organizational culture and the enterprise efficiency. The organizational culture supports the economic and social efficiency, the adaptability in the competitive context and the company which has a strong organizational culture may be saved from the consequences of unfavorable economic and social environment. The organizational culture is very important in supporting the targets of profit growth of the company. The application of such a strategy materializes in activity excellence, product quality, customer satisfaction, employees' commitment and partner mobilization. This is the bases to create the organizational culture and principles which support its further growth. From the analysis on organizational culture we concluded that the success of a company, formed by merging multiple companies, is determined by a new strong organizational culture. Consequently, the organizational culture is the one that provides a new logical direction to the activity and inspires and motivates its employees. Also, the paper includes a few basic elements which represent the creation, the delivery of cultures from the companies which merged, the maintenance and the development of a strong organizational culture, support of a competitive organization, achieving a series of organization inter-cultural relations, building company image, ethics and social responsibility of the company, crucial areas for the competitiveness of the analyzed energy enterprise within the dynamic competitive environment. Another view of cultural organization is the study of the company in terms of technologies used. In this case, the study of an organization chart may be revealing, indicating the extent to which certain sides may be dominant: finances, production, administration - able to impose a certain set of beliefs, which do not always provide the efficiency of the company, now and in the future. Therefore, organizational life is complicated, with various subcultures that coexist within the dominant culture. Different locations, different occupations and professions senior executives / management, skilled / unskilled workers, different level management with its characteristics on activities, establish their relations and have their own view on the enterprise and their typical answers to existing situations.

23. A balancing act: the tension between case-finding and primary prevention strategies in New York State's voluntary HIV counseling and testing program in women's health care settings

Abstract: This study sought (1) to identify factors that influence women's willingness to accept voluntary HIV counseling and testing at New York State Family Planning Programs (FPPs) and Prenatal Care Assistance Programs (PCAPs) and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of such a voluntary counseling and testing program. Telephone interviews elicited organizational-level data from 136 agencies; a combination of telephone and face-to-face interviews was used to gather provider data from 98 HIV counselors; and client data were gathered from 354 women in face-to-face interviews at counseling sites. Slightly fewer than 60% of women agreed to be counseled, and, of those, under half consented to an HIV test at the counseling site. Approximately two thirds of the women who were tested returned for their results and posttest counseling. Clients' recall of pretest counseling content was relatively poor. Bivariate and regression analyses suggest that client, provider, and organizational factors are all associated with rates of pretest counseling and testing. The current voluntary counseling and testing program is achieving only moderate success. Although a substantial number of clients accept HIV counseling, many women remain reluctant to consent to HIV testing, and many who accept testing do not return for their results. Moreover, among those who receive pretest counseling, many do not recall important informational content, which suggests variation may exist in the quality of counseling or that one-time HIV counseling interventions are insufficient to communicate complex information. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH): AIDS, HIV serodiagnosis, women's health, patient education.

Abstract: Recent results of AZT testing among pregnant women by NIH indicate that early diagnosis and medical intervention can reduce vertical transmission of HIV. Debates have been rekindled concerning whether testing should remain voluntary or be made mandatory. This article analyzes predictors of women's decisions to accept testing voluntarily and return for their test results. Although derived from the postpartum setting, this information is also likely to be useful in understanding voluntary acceptance of prenatal HIV testing, as well as acceptance among those who are hard to reach during pregnancy. Results indicate that the time spent counseling each client and the individual HIV counselor were the best predictors of which women were most likely to test. Minority, self-paid, or uninsured clients, and women with little prenatal care were least likely to return for post-test counseling. The findings of this study point to the central importance of the counselor and the counseling process and to the relatively lesser impact of patient characteristics. Further study of counseling content and counselor performance is recommended.

Abstract: This article investigates the impact NBA basketball star Earvin ("Magic") Johnson's HIV disclosure had on changes in demand for HIV counseling and testing services in New York State's 61 Anonymous HIV Counseling and Testing sites. Interrupted time-series analyses were conducted on weekly data from over 34,000 clients seeking anonymous HIV counseling and testing services from January 1991 to June 1992, to determine whether demand for these services changed as a result of the disclosure. Results indicated that immediately following the HIV disclosure, there was a substantial increase in service demand, which transcended all sex, race, age, and most HIV risk-related boundaries. Seven months later, demand had not returned to pre-disclosure levels. The strong impact on females, coupled with additional data analyses in obstetrical settings, suggests that previous research has been too narrow in focus, and that the effect of Johnson's HIV disclosure has been enhanced, in part, by the publicity surrounding his wife and baby. The importance of harnessing the heightened public awareness of celebrity HIV disclosures is discussed.

Abstract: The New York State Department of Health began its Obstetrical HIV Counseling/Testing/Care Initiative in 1989. The objective of the initiative was to expand the availability of and access to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection counseling and voluntary testing in the postpartum setting. Programs have been initiated in 24 hospitals statewide. The initiative emphasizes cooperative arrangements within participating hospitals for referring patients to medical and social services. Participation by hospitals in the initiative is voluntary. Initial grants to hospitals for the initiative ranged from $50,000 to $80,000. The main obstacle in implementing the initiative has been a lack of such resources as administrative or clinical support, phlebotomy services, and office or clinical space. During the period from August 1, 1990, through March 31, 1992, 16,436 women at risk for HIV infection were counseled in the postpartum setting at 24 hospitals participating in the initiative. Of them, 6,754 (41.1 percent) consented to HIV testing. Of the 6,754 tested, 3,000 women (44.5 percent) returned to receive test results and posttest counseling. Counseling and testing activities supported through the initiative identified 196 of 1,227 (16 percent) of the HIV-positive women who gave birth at participating hospitals and 196 of 892 (22 percent) seropositive women not previously identified. Combining testing data from the initiative with other data on seropositivity, the authors estimated that 43.3 percent of HIV-positive women delivering infants at participating hospitals were identified by voluntary testing. Hospital performance in the program varied markedly. Further study is needed to determine how to improve the effectiveness of the effort to identify HIV-positive childbearing women at the less successful hospitals and to enhance the rates of patients returning for posttest counseling and community followup.

This study examined the incidence of biopsy-proven post-transplant Kaposi's sarcoma in thoracic organ recipients over a period of 20 years. As mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors were introduced in 2006 as optional maintenance immunosuppressive therapy, the overall results were analysed and stratified into 2 groups: 1996 to 2005 and 2006 to 2016. A total of 867 transplant recipients met the study criteria. Post-transplant Kaposi's sarcoma was diagnosed in 7 (0.81%) patients. Five cases (0.19% of transplant recipients) were recorded in 1996 to 2005 and 2 (0.03% of transplant recipients) in 2006 to 2016 (p = 0.04). Multivariable logistic regression analyses identified the following as risk factors: period of transplantation (odds ratio (OR) 4.844, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.156-20.291), age at transplantation (OR 1.066, 95% CI 0.992-1.145), and North African origin (OR 7.282, 95% CI 12.55-42.254). This study found a decreased incidence of post-transplant Kaposi's sarcoma over the last 20 years, mainly attributed.
