TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a values framework for workplace spirituality, and a discussion of the factors and assumptions involved for future research are outlined, as well as the potential for empirical testing.
Abstract: Growing interest in workplace spirituality has led to the development of a new paradigm in organizational science Theoretical assumptions abound as to how workplace spirituality might enhance organizational performance, most postulating a significant positive impact Here, that body of research has been reviewed and analyzed, and a resultant values framework for workplace spirituality is introduced, providing the groundwork for empirical testing A discussion of the factors and assumptions involved for future research are outlined

TL;DR: In this paper, the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production is reviewed and analyzed, and best values for the low-energy cross-section factors and, wherever possible, estimates of the uncertainties are provided.
Abstract: We review and analyze the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production. We provide best values for the low-energy cross-section factors and, wherever possible, estimates of the uncertainties. We also describe the most important experiments and calculations that are required in order to improve our knowledge of solar fusion rates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors test the hypothesis that short debt maturity attenuates the negative effect of growth opportunities on leverage and find strong support for an economically significant attenuation effect, which suggests that firms trade off the cost of underinvestment problems against the risk of liquidity risk when choosing short maturity.
Abstract: I test the hypothesis that short debt maturity attenuates the negative effect of growth opportunities on leverage. Using simultaneous equations with leverage and maturity endogenous, I find strong support for an economically significant attenuation effect. The negative effect of growth opportunities on leverage for firms with all shorter-term debt is less than one-sixth as large as the effect for firms with all longer-term debt. Short maturity also increases liquidity risk, however, which negatively affects leverage. The results suggest that firms trade off the cost of underinvestment problems against the cost of liquidity risk when choosing short maturity. Copyright 2003, Oxford University Press.

TL;DR: Using data recorded in 1100 live days of the Super-Kamiokande detector, three complementary data samples are used to study the difference in zenith angle distribution due to neutral currents and matter effects and find no evidence favoring sterile neutrinos, and reject the hypothesis at the 99% confidence level.
Abstract: The previously published atmospheric neutrino data did not distinguish whether muon neutrinos were oscillating into tau neutrinos or sterile neutrinos, as both hypotheses fit the data. Using data recorded in 1100 live days of the Super-Kamiokande detector, we use three complementary data samples to study the difference in zenith angle distribution due to neutral currents and matter effects. We find no evidence favoring sterile neutrinos, and reject the hypothesis at the $99%$ confidence level. On the other hand, we find that oscillation between muon and tau neutrinos suffices to explain all the results in hand.

TL;DR: The 2007 report features a comprehensive compilation of cancer information for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN).
Abstract: BACKGROUND. The American Cancer Society, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer Institute, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries collaborate annually to provide updated information on cancer occurrence and trends in the U.S. The 2007 report features a comprehensive compilation of cancer information for American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN). METHODS. Cancer incidence data were available for up to 82% of the U.S. population. Cancer deaths were available for the entire U.S. population. Long-term (1975 through 2004) and fixed-interval (1995 through 2004) incidence and mortality trends were evaluated by annual percent change using regression analyses (2-sided P < .05). Cancer screening, risk factors, socioeconomic characteristics, incidence data, and stage were compiled for non-Hispanic whites (NHW) and AI/AN across 6 regions of the U.S. RESULTS. Overall cancer death rates decreased by 2.1% per year from 2002 through 2004, nearly twice the annual decrease of 1.1% per year from 1993 through 2002. Among men and women, death rates declined for most cancers. Among women, lung cancer incidence rates no longer were increasing and death rates, although they still were increasing slightly, were increasing at a much slower rate than in the past. Breast cancer incidence rates in women decreased 3.5% per year from 2001 to 2004, the first decrease observed in 20 years. Colorectal cancer incidence and death rates and prostate cancer death rates declined, with colorectal cancer death rates dropping more sharply from 2002 through 2004. Overall, rates for AI/AN were lower than for NHW from 1999 through 2004 for most cancers, but they were higher for cancers of the stomach, liver, cervix, kidney, and gallbladder. Regional analyses, however, revealed high rates for AI/AN in the Northern and Southern Plains and Alaska. For cancers of the breast, colon and rectum, prostate, and cervix, AI/AN were less likely than NHW to be diagnosed at localized stages. CONCLUSIONS. For all races/ethnicities combined in the U.S., favorable trends in incidence and mortality were noted for lung and colorectal cancer in men and women and for breast cancer in women. For the AI/AN population, lower overall cancer incidence and death rates obscured important variations by geographic regions and less favorable healthcare access and socioeconomic status. Enhanced tobacco control and cancer screening, especially in the Northern and Southern Plains and Alaska, emerged as clear priorities. Cancer 2007;110:2119–52.
