Four factors driving the price Bitcoin
In this article, we discuss four key factor driving the price of Bitcoin. These include media hype and uptake by peers, political uncertainty and risk (such as the election of Donald Trump or the vote for Brexit), moves by governments and regulators, and the governance of Bitcoin itself
Substance Use Disorder Treatment Confidentiality Boot Camp
[Excerpt]: INTRODUCTION: The Health Law and Policy Programs at UNH School of Law, Institute for Health Policy and Practice, and the NH Citizens Health Initiative have contracted with several of the New Hampshire Building Capacity for Transformation Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Integrated Delivery Networks (IDN) to provide technical assistance to the IDNs as they develop confidentiality tools related to substance use disorder services projects.
A UNH Team assisted the IDNs by providing an educational summary of federal and state confidentiality requirements, focusing on 42 CFR Part 2, and hosting IDN interdisciplinary teams in three Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Treatment Confidentiality Boot Camp sessions providing technical assistance to assist each IDN partner with their SUD confidentiality project goals. The âboot campâ consisted of several guided meetings with assigned homework to follow, leading to the ultimate development of processes, plans, and draft forms and policies to implement Part 2 confidentiality. The process incorporated learning from the Citizens Health Initiativeâs existing New Hampshire Behavioral Health Integration Learning Collaborative.
The Project was implemented during half-day working sessions between May 15 â July 30, based upon the availability of IDN interdisciplinary teams and as arranged in collaboration with the IDNs. The IDNs committed to including project leaders with knowledge about and authority to investigate issues regarding projects, patient flow, and privacy. The project teams were multi-disciplinary. IDN participants were encouraged to review issues, forms, and ideas with their individual legal counsel at any point. The technical assistance provided as part of this project is not and does not take the place of legal advice
Getting the best out of data for small monograph presses: A case study of UCL press
Digital developments in scholarly publishing are giving rise to new data sources with the potential to provide insight into how OA monographs are being used and to support strategic decision-making by publishers. However, small OA monograph publishers face practical challenges in identifying relevant data, as well as in capturing, managing and interpreting it. This case study of UCL Press reports on a collaborative research project that sought to address some of these challenges. The project involved UCL Press, Knowledge Unlatched Research and the Centre for Culture and Technology at Curtin University in Australia (CCAT). Our goal was to identify the extent to which data that can be easily accessed by a small OA monograph press can be combined with low-cost tools for its analysis in order to provide useful insight into development and strategy; and to identify practical steps that can be taken by small OA monograph publishers to ensure that they are making the most of the data that they have access to
Preliminary study investigating trunk fatigue and cognitive function in event riders during a simulated jumping test
The effects of inclination, gravity darkening and differential rotation on absorption profiles of fast rotators
Mechanisms influencing absorption line profiles of fast rotating stars can be
sorted into two groups; (i) intrinsic variations sensitive to temperature and
pressure, and (ii) global effects common to all spectral lines. I present a
detailed study on the latter effects focusing on gravity darkening and
inclination for various rotational velocities and spectral types. It is shown
that the line shapes of rapidly and rigidly rotating stars mainly depend on the
equatorial velocity , not on the projected rotational velocity which determines the lines width. The influence of gravity darkening
and spectral type on the line profiles is shown. The results demonstrate the
possibility of determining the inclination angle of single fast rotators,
and they show that constraints on gravity darkening can be drawn for stellar
samples. While significant line profile deformation occurs in stars rotating as
fast as v_{\rm e} \ga 200 km s, for slower rotators profile distortion
are marginal. In these cases spectral signatures induced by, e.g., differential
rotation are not affected by gravity darkening and the methods applicable to
slow rotators can be applied to these faster rotators, too.Comment: 7 pages, accepted by A&
In a globalised and networked world, what is the unique value a university can bring? Introducing open knowledge institutions
Digital ubiquity has disrupted the traditional university model. The internet has shifted the balance of a tension between control and disorder in knowledge production, with many of the opportunities the web brings leading directly to many of the challenges we now need to address. Lucy Montgomery and Cameron Neylon advocate for the idea of universities as Open Knowledge Institutions, which would support and provide spaces for the worldâs creative diversity to contribute to a common stock of global knowledge. This means reinventing some of our ideas about what university is, or should be, while also recognising that this change has to be an evolution, not a revolution
