RE-AIM Planning and Evaluation Framework: Adapting to New Science and Practice With a 20-Year Review

Abstract: The RE-AIM planning and evaluation framework was conceptualized two decades ago. As one of the most frequently applied implementation frameworks, RE-AIM has now been cited in over 2,800 publications. This paper describes the application and evolution of RE-AIM as well as lessons learned from its use. RE-AIM has been applied most often in public health and health behavior change research, but increasingly in more diverse content areas and within clinical, community, and corporate settings. We discuss challenges of using RE-AIM while encouraging a more pragmatic use of key dimensions rather than comprehensive applications of all elements. Current foci of RE-AIM include increasing the emphasis on cost and adaptations to programs and expanding the use of qualitative methods to understand "how" and "why" results came about. The framework will continue to evolve to focus on contextual and explanatory factors related to RE-AIM outcomes, package RE-AIM for use by non-researchers, and integrate RE-AIM with other pragmatic and reporting frameworks.

The Book of GENESIS: Exploring Realistic Neural Models with the GEneral NEural SImulation System

Abstract: This publication explains how to use the GENESIS simulation/modeling software system available through the Internet file-server at the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, USA. The first part of the book consists of edited contributions from an international team of neural networks researchers working with GENESIS. They show the user the kind of models/simulations which can be created by using the software. The second part is a step-by-step tutorial for all professionals, researchers and students working in the area of neural networks and the cognitive sciences.

Inverted bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaic device using a solution-derived ZnO underlayer

Abstract: Inverted organic photovoltaic devices based on a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and a fullerene have been developed by inserting a solution-processed ZnO interlayer between the indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode and the active layer using Ag as a hole-collecting back contact. Efficient electron extraction through the ZnO and hole extraction through the Ag, with minimal loss in open-circuit potential, is observed with a certified power conversion efficiency of 2.58%. The inverted architecture removes the need for the use of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) as an ITO modifier and for the use of a low-work-function metal as the back contact in the device.

Measurement of Parity Nonconservation and an Anapole Moment in Cesium

Abstract: The amplitude of the parity-nonconserving transition between the 6 S and 7 S states of cesium was precisely measured with the use of a spin-polarized atomic beam. This measurement gives Im(E1 pnc )/β = −1.5935(56) millivolts per centimeter and provides an improved test of the standard model at low energy, including a value for the S parameter of −1.3(3) exp (11) theory . The nuclear spin-dependent contribution was 0.077(11) millivolts per centimeter; this contribution is a manifestation of parity violation in atomic nuclei and is a measurement of the long-sought anapole moment.
