PHENIX spin program, recent results
Acceleration of polarized protons in Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) provides unique tool to study the spin structure of the nucleon. We give a brief overview of the PHENIX program to investigate poorly known gluon and flavor decomposed see quark polarization in the proton, utilizing polarized proton collisions at RHIC. We report PHENIX first results on transverse single-spin asymmetry inπ 0 and charged hadron production and longitudinal double-spin asymmetry inπ 0 production at mid-rapidity.
ABSTRACTBackground: Although it is generally presumed that experienced clinicians are capable of making reasonable decisions concerning rehabilitation potential, inexperienced clinicians may expend efforts and resources somewhat unproductively in managing patients with nonprogressive neurological conditions such as stroke. Clinicians with varied experience may also be influenced by extraneous factors least likely to contribute to an effective admission and treatment planning. Purpose: We report a process for efficient utilization of resources to maximize outcome following stroke rehabilitation. Description: A care planning process with distinctive features of patient profiling, treatment tracking, and outcome staircasing was developed and utilized in the subacute stroke management of African American stroke survivors in an inpatient facility in New York. Outcome of stroke rehabilitation care were compared before and after the implementation of the process using Functional Independence Measures (FIM) score...
