Expenditure and Revenue Patterns of State Mental Health Agencies from 1981 to 1987

This paper documents expenditure and revenue patterns of state mental health agencies from 1981 to 1987. Expenditure data show an overall decline of mental health expenditures of 4.9% over this period. States with declining overall expenditures were more likely to make deep cuts in hospital expenditures and little or no increases in community programs, while the few states with increasing expenditures showed substantial increases in community programs and contant funding for hospitals. A relatively more dramatic shift was noted across states of shifting expenditures from inpatient to ambulatory care. Revenue data reveal that federal support for state mental health agencies increased slightly during this period, but solely as a function of the introduction of the Block Grant in 1982. However, once introduced, both the Block Grant and other federal sources show steady losses against inflation. State sources also show a decline of 4% during this period, most of which was felt between 1981 and 1983, after which there has been no further decreases. Interstate variability in percapita spending on mental health is described and found to significant even beyond adjustments for costs of services. Expenditures on mental health also show relatively greater declines compared to overall state budgets and state health and welfare budgets during this period, suggesting an increasingly lower priority for mental health services in the state budget alloction process

Evaluation of nutritional qualities of common ryegrass screenings

This study was conducted to investigate the production and processing technology of common ryegrass screenings and to determine the nutritive value of these screenings for sheep. The animal response to them was assessed when the sheep were fed on the screenings alone and in combination with other feedstuffs. Four in vivo digestion trials were conducted using alfalfa pellets and a mixed steer ration fed alone and in combination with 40 and 60 percent light and heavy common ryegrass screenings. Corn silage was also fed in the same combination. Wether lambs weighing approximately 80 pounds were randomly assigned to metabolism stalls designed to collect feces quantitatively separate from the urine. Collection periods lasted for 5 days with a 15 day transition period between trials. Proximate analyses were done on representative sub-samples of each of the feedstuffs and feces. In vitro dry matter digestion studies were run on the same combination of feedstuffs utilized in the in vivo digestion trials. Combinations of common ryegrass screenings ranging from 20 to 80 percent of the mixture were used to determine the effects of increasing levels. In addition, 12 randomly selected common ryegrass screening samples were used for comparative weight and digestibility analyses. The in vitro procedure involved the digestion of feedstuffs by diluted rumen liquor in glass centrifuge bottles contained in a constant-temperature water-bath at 39° C for 24 hours. No apparent palatability or toxicity problems from weed seed contamination were observed during the 86 day in vivo study. In vivo apparent digestibility for heavy common ryegrass screenings fed alone and in combinations with other feedstuffs is relatively high, whereas that for light common ryegrass screenings fed in the same manner is relatively low. Favorable interactions are indicated from blending 40-60 and 60-40 combinations of alfalfa with heavy common ryegrass screenings and corn silage used in the same blend. Unfavorable interactions are indicated when common ryegrass screenings are blended with either alfalfa, steer ration #7, or corn silage; however, both are inconclusive. In vivo correlations indicate that organic matter and dry matter digestion, gross energy, and crude protein can be used with a high degree of confidence to predict digestible energy. Crude protein content of feedstuffs is a reasonably good indicator of in vivo dry matter digestibility. In vitro negative correlations are associated with increasing percentages of light and heavy common ryegrass screenings mixed with alfalfa and steer ration #7. Positive correlations are shown when corn silage is used in the blends. The highest in vitro dry matter digestion occurred between 40 and 70 percent heavy common ryegrass screenings blended with alfalfa; 30 to 70 percent blended with steer ration #7; and 60 to 70 percent blended with corn silage. A positive correlation (p < 0.05) indicates a close association between the comparative sample weights of 12 randomly selected common ryegrass samples and their in vitro dry matter digestion. Major differences in comparative proximate analyses are shown between light and heavy common ryegrass screenings. A significant (p < 0.01) correlation is indicated between pooled in vitro and in vivo measures of dry matter digestibility for alfalfa, steer ration #7, corn silage, and light and heavy common ryegrass screenings

Potential Added Value of Psychological Capital in Predicting Work Attitudes

Meeting the challenge of effectively managing human resources requires new thinking and approaches. To extend the traditional perspective of economic capital, increasing recognition is being given to human capital and more recently social capital, this article proposes and empirically tests the potential added value that psychological capital may have for employee attitudes of satisfaction and commitment. After first providing the background and theory of PsyCap, this article reports a study of manufacturing employees (N = 74) that found a significant relationship between PsyCap and job satisfaction (r=.373) and organization commitment (r=.313). Importantly, the employees’ PsyCap had a significant added impact over human and social capital on these work attitudes. Future research and practical implications conclude the article

Positive Psychology in Sales: Integrating Psychological Capital

As positive psychology moves into the workplace, researchers have been able to demonstrate the desirable impact of positive organizational behavior. Specifically, psychological capital (PsyCap) improves employee attitudes, behaviors, and performance. Advancing PsyCap in sales research is important given the need for a comprehensive positive approach to drive sales performance, offset the high cost of salesperson turnover, improve cross-functional sales interfaces, and enrich customer relationships. The authors provide an integrative review of PsyCap, discuss its application in sales, and advance an agenda for future research. Research prescriptions are organized according to individual-level, intra-organizational, and extra-organizational outcomes pertinent to the sales field

Gas and gas hydrate distribution around seafloor seeps in Mississippi Canyon, Northern Gulf of Mexico, using multi-resolution seismic imagery

This paper is not subject to U.S. copyright. The definitive version was published in Marine and Petroleum Geology 25 (2008): 952-959, doi:10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2008.01.015.To determine the impact of seeps and focused flow on the occurrence of shallow gas hydrates, several seafloor mounds in the Atwater Valley lease area of the Gulf of Mexico were surveyed with a wide range of seismic frequencies. Seismic data were acquired with a deep-towed, Helmholz resonator source (220–820 Hz); a high-resolution, Generator-Injector air-gun (30–300 Hz); and an industrial air-gun array (10–130 Hz). Each showed a significantly different response in this weakly reflective, highly faulted area. Seismic modeling and observations of reversed-polarity reflections and small scale diffractions are consistent with a model of methane transport dominated regionally by diffusion but punctuated by intense upward advection responsible for the bathymetric mounds, as well as likely advection along pervasive filamentous fractures away from the mounds.This work was funded through ONR program element 61153N, and U.S. Department of Energy Grant DE-A126-97FT3423
