Creating and Sharing Fedora Installation Package for Ubuntu

4th International Conference on Open RepositoriesThis presentation was part of the session : Conference PostersOpen repositories are enterprise information systems that face ongoing challenges of maintaining low operating costs, high efficiency, and high reliability. This poster proposal presents an open source strategy to help address some of these challenges. The NSF funded NSDL Materials Digital Library Pathway (MatDL) offers a Fedora-based open repository and is moving toward using the Ubuntu distribution of Linux on all of its servers to capitalize on the advantages of Ubuntu. However, currently there is no easy way to implement Ubuntu with Fedora-based repositories. This poster describes MatDL's efforts to co-develop and host a Fedora installation package for Ubuntu.The Materials Digital Library Pathway (DUE-0532831) is supported by the National Science Foundation

Aiming Higher: Results From a State Scorecard on Health System Performance, 2009

Ranks states on thirty-eight indicators of healthcare access, prevention and treatment, avoidable hospital use and costs, equity, and healthy lives. Examines trends, including eroding adult insurance coverage, poor care coordination, and rising costs

Securing a Healthy Future: The Commonwealth Fund State Scorecard on Child Health System Performance, 2011

Ranks states on twenty indicators of healthcare access, affordability, prevention and treatment, potential for healthy lives, and health system equity for children. Examines the need for targeted initiatives and policy implications for better performance

Aiming Higher: Results From a State Scorecard on Health System Performance

Assesses state variation across key dimensions of health system performance -- access, quality, avoidable hospital use and costs, equity, and healthy lives -- and assigns overall state rankings as well as ranks on each dimension

Why Not the Best? Results From the National Scorecard on U.S. Health System Performance, 2011

Assesses the U.S. healthcare system's average performance in 2007-09 as measured by forty-two indicators of health outcomes, quality, access, efficiency, and equity compared with the 2006 and 2008 scorecards and with domestic and international benchmarks

Burh: Improvement of Suffix Trees

The wireless machine learning solution to model checking is defined not only by the understanding of interrupts, but also by the typical need for voice- over-IP. Given the trends in linear-time archetypes, electrical engineers famously note the analysis of thin clients. Burh, our new algorithm for the UNIVAC computer, is the solution to all of these challenges

Using Second-Order Factor Analysis in Examining Multiple Problems of Clients

Participants of the study were 1,532 veterans of the Persian Gulf engagement who were eligible for social services provided by the Veterans Administration. The results provided support for the use of second-order factors in examining client data and provided information about the relationships among clinically significant problems. Further research on the second-order factors of multidimensional instruments that are used in social work to measure client progress can yield information about how client populations differ and provide direction in selecting interventions that are congruent with social work's person-environment focus

Aiming Higher: Results from a State Scorecard on Health System Performance, 2014

The Commonwealth Fund's Scorecard on State Health System Performance, 2014, assesses states on 42 indicators of health care access, quality, costs, and outcomes over the 2007–2012 period, which includes the Great Recession and precedes the major coverage expansions of the Affordable Care Act. Changes in health system performance were mixed overall, with states making progress on some indicators while losing ground on others. In a few areas that were the focus of national and state attention—childhood immunizations, hospital readmissions, safe prescribing, and cancer deaths— there were widespread gains. But more often than not, states exhibited little or no improvement. Access to care deteriorated for adults, while costs increased. Persistent disparities in performance across and within states and evidence of poor care coordination highlight the importance of insurance expansions, health care delivery reforms, and payment changes in promoting a more equitable, highquality health system
