Dr. Walter McFall
No full textThis 1966 photograph taken by photographer Juanita Wilson shows orthodontist Dr. Walter McFall speaking at the 18th Annual Mountain Youth Jamboree. Dr. McFall was a friend of Hubert Hayes. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University

Utah\u27s Medicaid Moratorium Limiting Certification of Nursing Home Beds
No full textFollowing the expiration of Certificate of Need in 1984, the State of Utah experienced uncontrolled growth in the number of nursing home beds being constructed. This growth placed a strain on the state\u27s finances, exposed providers of long term care services to potential financial harm because of the Medicaid reimbursement formula being utilized, and had a negative effect on the quality of long term nursing home care. In an attempt to rectify this situation, the Utah Department of Health, in 1989, adopted and implemented a formal Moratorium prohibiting any further Medicaid certification of nursing home beds in Utah. This project addresses the following questions: a. Is the Medicaid Moratorium continuing to serve the primary purpose for which it was created? b. Is the existence of the Moratorium causing any difficulty in accessing needed care due to a chronic shortage of beds in any community or catchment area? c. Is there any indication that a community is experiencing unfair pricing policies for private paying patients due to the protection from competition afforded current nursing home providers by the Medicaid Moratorium? d. Should the Utah Department of Health undertake formal study, collect additional data, and hold public hearings to determine if the Moratorium should be repealed? This study included, but was not limited to, a review of occupancy statistics, private and Medicaid reimbursement rates, and construction data. Available data suggest the Moratorium has limited, but not eliminated, construction of beds in this state. Under the Moratorium currently certified providers are allowed to expand facility size at an existing site. Many have chosen to do so. Still there are areas of the state which do not have ready access to nursing home beds. Individuals in these locations are often faced with placement in facilities 50 to 100 miles from their home. Although access to a nursing home close to ones\u27 personal residence may be difficult, there are adequate bed numbers available throughout the state. No evidence was found indicating unfair pricing policies. In-home services are available, in varying degrees, throughout the state. In some areas however, alternatives to institutional care are not fully utilized. A greater understanding of these programs is necessary. In summary, further study is needed before any recommendation to abandon the Moratorium is warranted. Potential nursing home residents, providers of care, local and state officials, and professional gerontologists, should all have an opportunity to evaluate, assist in the development of, and comment upon a long range plan for long term care. Careful evaluation of what is currently available, projected needs, future direction, cost implications, alternative delivery systems, and effect on the elderly population should be undertaken by the Utah Department of Health, in cooperation with other interested agencies and parties, to chart a course for what lies ahead

Evaluation of Implicit and Explicit Wave Dissipation Models for Submerged and Emergent Aquatic Vegetation
No full textTo address the important research question of whether implicit (bottom friction) or explicit (stem drag) dissipation models are most appropriate for the prediction of wave attenuation due to aquatic vegetation, the Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN) spectral wave model has been extended with an explicit frequency-dependent dissipation model for submerged and emergent vegetation. The new explicit model is compared to existing explicit and implicit dissipation models in SWAN, and the distinguishing features of each of the dissipation models are quantified. The present work verifies the implementation of the new and existing dissipation models, outlines their distinguishing features, and compares model predictions against experimental data. The emphasis is on the transformation of the spectral wave periods Tm0;1 and Tm 1;0 over a canopy. Model evaluation based on academic and laboratory cases allows for recommendations regarding applicability of the three dissipation models, where the new method has the broadest applicability, since it bridges the gap in applicability between the other two dissipation models. The implementation of Jacobsen, McFall, and van der A (2019; A frequency distributed dissipation model for canopies; Coastal Engineering, 150, 135-146) is publicly available in SWAN version 41.31B.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Coastal EngineeringEnvironmental Fluid Mechanic

Refactoring and its relationship with fan-in and fan-out: An empirical study
No full textMany of the seventy-two refactorings originally proposed by Fowler have the aim of reducing coupling in classes and thereby aiding programmer maintainability. While we might assume that classes with high levels of coupling would be the targets for refactoring more often than any other type of class, no empirical evidence exists to support this assumption. In this paper, we explore that open question through the extraction of fifty-two of Fowler's catalog of refactorings drawn from versions of four open-source systems. We compare the coupling characteristics of each set of refactored classes with the corresponding set of non-refactored classes (those for which no refactorings were applied across versions), we seek to inform one overriding research question: is there a significant difference between these two sets of classes in terms of their level of coupling? Results showed that highly-coupled classes were more prone to refactoring, particularly through a set of 'core' refactorings. However, wide variations were found across systems for our measures of coupling namely, fan-in and fan-out. Specific individual refactorings were also explored to gain an understanding of why these differences may have occurred
Rhenium enrichment in the Muratdere Cu-Mo (Au-Re) porphyry deposit, Turkey: evidence from stable isotope analyses (δ34S, δ18O, δD) and LA-ICP-MS analysis of sulfides
No full textThe Muratdere Cu-Mo (Au) porphyry deposit in western Turkey contains elevated levels of rhenium and is hosted within granodioritic intrusions into an ophiolitic mélange sequence in the Anatolian belt. The deposit contains several stages of mineralization: early microfracture-hosted molybdenite and chalcopyrite, followed by a quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite vein set associated with Cu-Au grade, a quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite-molybdenite vein set associated with Cu-Mo-Re grade, and a later polymetallic quartz-barite-sphalerite-galena-pyrite vein set. The rhenium in Muratdere is hosted within two generations of molybdenite: early microfracture-hosted molybdenite and later vein-hosted molybdenite. In situ laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis of sulfides shows that the later molybdenite has significantly higher concentrations of Re (average 1,124 ppm, σ = 730 ppm, n = 43) than the early microfracture-hosted molybdenite (average 566 ppm, σ = 423 ppm, n = 28). Pyrite crystals associated with the Re-rich molybdenite have higher Co and As concentrations than those in other vein sets, with Au associated with As. The microfracture-hosted sulfides have δ34S values between −2.2‰ and +4.6‰, consistent with a magmatic source. The vein-hosted sulfides associated with the high-Re molybdenite have a δ34S signature of 5.6‰ to 8.8‰, similar to values found in peridotite lenses in the Anatolian belt. The later enrichment in Re and δ34S-enriched S may be sourced from the surrounding ophiolitic country rock or may be the result of changing redox conditions during deposit formation
