Thermo-quantum diffusion
A new approach to thermo-quantum diffusion is proposed and a nonlinear
quantum Smoluchowski equation is derived, which describes classical diffusion
in the field of the Bohm quantum potential. A nonlinear thermo-quantum
expression for the diffusion front is obtained, being a quantum generalization
of the classical Einstein law. The quantum diffusion at zero temperature is
also described and a new dependence of the position dispersion on time is
derived. A stochastic Bohm-Langevin equation is also proposed
Enhancing the effectiveness of interdisciplinary mental health treatment teams
Mental health administrators often lack guidelines for promoting and evaluating the effectiveness of interdisciplinary clinical treatment teams. This article describes the use of a model of group effectiveness that elucidates several aspects of team effectiveness. Also discussed are how administrators can support such teams by reviewing their initial set-up, how the organization influences the team's productivity and longevity, and how team members can better understand one another's personal and professional frames of reference to improve mutual collaboration.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44090/1/10488_2005_Article_BF02106536.pd
