...Youth in the foster care system repeatedly undergo multiple transitions before they reach adulthood. These transitions often create substantial amounts of stress and can intensify emotional and behavioral problems. With more than 29,000 young people exiting the foster care system each year, research has shown that these young people are frequently unprepared for their lives after foster care through findings of high rate homelessness, incarceration, unemployment and school failure (Greenen & Powers, 2007; U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Furthermore, research also shows that less than 55% of youth who had exited foster care obtained jobs in the future that paid above the poverty line. Unfortunately, the young people aging...

...it is very important to highlight that elderly patients with severe cognitive and psychiatric disturbances represent a particularly challenging population. "By 2030, one-fifth of the U.S. population will be age 65 or older, and the prevalence of dementia in this group is estimated to be as high as 12 percent to 14 percent" (Plassman et al., 2007). After been hospitalized for a period of time, the transition back to the nursing home of an older adult with dementia can often trigger anxiety and aggressive behavior, because the distress caused by the relocation. "Patients who appeared stable decompensate temporarily following transfer back to the community" (Tew, 2012). Often, older adults with dementia are stabilized during hospitalization, but after discharge, the nursing home receives a disturbed patient....

...Understanding Palliative Care and the Transition from Hospital to Home "Palliative" is a word that means to soothe or relieve. "Palliative care" refers to a team of specialists working together to offer comfort and support to people with serious health-related issues outside of the hospital setting. Palliative care is often confused with hospice care since the two offer very similar services. The biggest difference lies in the time the services are offered, the eligibility for the services and the payment options available. With palliative care, there are no time restrictions on services and they can be received at any time. Since the services are not related to terminal illness, parallel curative-services are available as well. Palliative care is available for patients of any age and with any medical condition. Some of the most common conditions are cancer; heart, kidney or liver disease; dementia and multiple injuries requiring long-term care. Studies have concluded that effective and timely palliative care not only increases a person's quality of life and...

It is a country steeped with a long and chequered past and the history books will show that it deserves its place amongst world leaders. In the last century China has experienced some of its most turbulent years and only in the very latter part of the century has it come to overthrow the oppressive shackles that have haunted the nation from the Mao era. However the case could be argued that the Mao era may have been the catalyst for much of the good that can be found in the Chinese approach to growing a stable economy. Rather than introducing radical reforms and provoking social unrest, the Deng era of Chinese rule introduced a two-track transition process that has allowed the country to gradually move from a centrally planned economy to a wiser free market one. China’s “two track transition” resonates from the countries understandably negative outlook on radical reforms given the countries...

...No. 2060 August 7, 2007 The Estonian Economic Miracle The Honorable Mart Laar Estonia is a small country in Northern Europe on the Baltic Sea, at the crossroads of East and West, South and North. Samuel Huntington states that the Estonian border is a border of Western civilization, a border where civilizations clash.1 This has made Estonia interesting to historians but hard for people who live there. Throughout history, Estonians have had to fight for their freedom. In 1918, Estonia declared independence. It was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940 during the Second World War. We fought the communist terror during the war but were defeated. As a result of the occupation, Estonia lost nearly 20 percent of its population. But we never gave up. When the 1980s offered us a new chance, we took advantage of it. Estonia became one of the first countries to pry open the cracks in the Soviet Empire. Finally, in 1991, after 50 years of occupation, Estonia became free again. We had freedom but little else. Estonia was destroyed during the period of communist rule. In 1939, Estonia’s living standards and way of life were more or less the same as neighboring Finland’s. Then Estonia lost its independence, but Finland, despite losing territory and population, succeeded in keeping its independence. Life under two different political systems created a huge disparity in the development of Finland and Estonia. People learned and worked hard on both sides of the Finnish Bay, but only the Finns...

...Sealing mechanism: 1) Radial shaft seals: Radial shaft seals, also known as lip seals, are used to seal rotary elements, such as a shaft or rotating bore. It is widely used for in applications of full submersion of seal and shaft. Advantages: - Aviods leakage sufficientally - Prevent contamination which can harm components of the system. Operating conditions ( pressurized conditions) : Pressure ≤ 10 bar Temp -30 to 140oc Design: Lip ring with spiral spring for radial preloading Short but pressure stiff flexible, spring- preloaded sealing lip. 2) Stuffing box ( Gland seal) : The stuffing box prevents sea water from entering the UV hull. In many cases the stuffing box is mounted inboard near the point the shaft exits the hull. Design: The "box" is a cylindrical assembly, typically of bronze, comprising a sleeve threaded on one end to accept adjusting and locking nuts. A sound stuffing box installation is critical to safety because failure can admit a catastrophic volume of water into the UV Advantages: In a common type of stuffing box, rings of braided fiber, known as shaft packing or gland packing, form a seal between the shaft and the stuffing box. Ideally, the compression is just enough to make the seal both watertight when the shaft is stationary and drip slightly when the shaft is turning. 3) End face mechanical seal: An end face mechanical seal uses both rigid and flexible elements that maintain contact at a sealing interface and slide...

...Quantum-Criticality in Dissipative Quantum Two-Dimensional XY and Ashkin-Teller Models: Application to the Cuprates Vivek Aji and C. M. Varma Physics Department, University of California, Riverside, CA 92507 In a recent paper1 we have shown that the dissipation driven quantum phase transition of the 2D xy model represents a universality class where the correlations at criticality is local in space and power law in time. Here we provide a detailed analysis of the model. The local criticality is brought about by the decoupling of infrared singularities in space and time. The former leads to a Kosterlitz Thouless transition whereby the excitations of the transverse component of the velocity field (vortices) unbind in space. The latter on the other hand leads to a transition among excitations (warps) in the longitudinal component of the velocity field, which unbind in time. The quantum Ashkin-Teller model, with which the observed loop order in the Cuprates is described maps in the critical regime to the quantum xy model. We also discuss other models which are expected to have similar properties. arXiv:0901.4758v2 [cond-mat.supr-con] 29 Apr 2009 The dissipative quantum 2D xy model was introduced2,3 to describe experiments on ultrathin granular Superconducting films, where it was observed that above a normal-state sheet resistance of order RQ = h/4e2 the resistivity does not decrease towards 0 even at the lowest temperatures studied.4 . The granular superconductor is represented...

...Office of Environmental Management Corporate Projects Initiative January 2003 Definition of EM Completion and DOE Site Closure This fact sheet defines critical points in the cleanup process, specifies where the Office of Environmental Management (EM) programmatic responsibility ends, and clarifies the responsibilities of other Program Secretarial Offices managing a site after EM’s mission is complete. Accordingly, these definitions serve as the framework for developing or revising strategic plans, site baselines, and implementation plans. Environmental Management (Cleanup) includes those activities necessary to evaluate and mitigate a release or threat of release of a hazardous substance that may pose a risk to human health or the environment. Cleanup activities may include source term remediation, facility disposition, ground water response measures, surface water response measures, and legacy waste management (e.g., transuranic and orphan waste disposition). The term cleanup is used interchangeably with the terms remedial action, removal action, response action, and corrective action. Response Action Completion occurs when a specific response attains its response action objective(s)/cleanup criteria such that no land use restrictions remain (e.g., contaminant concentrations reduced to acceptable, healthbased levels in ground water). EM Completion occurs when: 1) all required short-term response activities at a specific site are complete (e.g., soil excavation, cap construction...
