Magnetic response of magnetic molecules with non-collinear local d-tensors
No full textSchnack J. Magnetic response of magnetic molecules with non-collinear local d-tensors. Condensed Matter Physics. 2009;12(3):323-330.Investigations of molecular magnets are driven both by prospective applications in future storage technology or quantum computing as well as by fundamental questions. Nowadays numerical simulation techniques and computer capabilities make it possible to investigate spin Hamiltonians with realistic arrangements of local anisotropy tensors. in this contribution I will discuss the magnetic response of a small spin system with special emphasis on non-collinear alignments of the local anisotropy axes
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
The R&D Tax Incentives
No full textThis article sets out some background information and reflections of the author on the R&D tax incentive schemes included in the Common Corporate Tax Base (CCTB) Proposal. In particular the author analyzes the stimulus to private R&D through ad hoc tax incentives included in the CCTB Proposal and dives into the actual provisions included in the Proposal highlighting the most relevant issues connected with their design and interpretation. Moreover, the author explores the interaction between the CCTB Proposal and the granting by Member States of domestic R&D tax incentives
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Extracting Boer-Mulders functions from p+D Drell-Yan processes
No full textWe extract the Boer- Mulders functions of valence and sea quarks in the proton from unpolarized p + D Drell- Yan data measured by the FNAL E866 Collaboration. Using these Boer- Mulders functions, we calculate the cos2 phi asymmetries in unpolarized pp Drell- Yan processes, both for the FNAL E866/ NuSea and the BNL Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider experiments. We also estimate the cos2 phi asymmetries in the unpolarized p (P) over bar Drell- Yan processes at GSI.Astronomy & AstrophysicsPhysics, Particles & FieldsSCI(E)37ARTICLE5null7

Efficacy and uptake of the high-dose influenza vaccine for older adults: a literature review
No full textAnnual influenza epidemics are a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality in the United States and around the world. Older adults, individuals 65 years of age and older, are disproportionately affected by influenza. In 2009 a high-dose influenza vaccine was licensed for use in older adults. The efficacy and effectiveness of this influenza vaccine have been and continue to be studied today, in 2015. However, the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), the body primarily responsible for developing recommendations on how to use vaccines to control disease in the United States, recommends that older adults receive an influenza vaccine and does not distinguish between the standard-dose and high-dose vaccines. Given the growing body of research around the high-dose influenza vaccine, this literature review seeks to identify the efficacy of the high-dose influenza vaccine in older adults as well as facilitators and barriers to influenza vaccination among older adults. The author conducted a review of the literature published between January 1, 2004 and March 1, 2015 on these topics. Only 12 peer-reviewed articles were selected for inclusion from the 714 articles identified by the review. Four were randomized controlled trials, two were systematic literature reviews, four were retrospective data analyses, and two were cross-sectional studies. The studies regarding the efficacy of the high-dose influenza vaccine were of high quality, however the articles assessing factors associated with influenza vaccine uptake among older adults were limited in scope and generalizability. This review identified a considerable gap in the literature related to the facilitators and barriers to influenza vaccination among older adults at the individual, interpersonal, and community levels. Qualitative and mixed-methods research is needed to move from understanding who is and is not receiving an annual influenza vaccine to why and how individuals and communities are receiving annual influenza vaccines. This review is of public health significance because understanding and preventing influenza through the use of the high-dose influenza vaccine has the potential to significantly improve public health through preventing illnesses and hospitalizations, reducing influenza mortality, and reducing expenditures related to influenza morbidity
Precision measurement of the D*(0) decay branching fractions
No full textUsing 482 pb(-1) of data taken at root s = 4.009 GeV, we measure the branching fractions of the decays of D*(0) into D-0 pi(0) and D-0 gamma to be B(D*(0) -> D-0 pi(0)) = (65.5 +/- 0.8 +/- 0.5)% and B(D*(0) -> D0 gamma) = (34.5 +/- 0.8 +/- 0.5)%, respectively, by assuming that the D*(0) decays only into these two modes. The ratio of the two branching fractions is B(D*(0) -> D-0 pi(0))/B(D*(0) -> D-0 gamma) = 1.90 +/- 0.07 +/- 0.05, which is independent of the assumption made above. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second ones systematic. The precision is improved by a factor of 3 compared to the present world average values
