Blue Gold: Advancing Blue Economy Governance in Africa

Advancing sports cardiology: blue sky thinking in Qatar.

Qatar, with its wide blue sky and searing desert sands, is not a location that clinicians and academics might immediately associate with cutting-edge sports cardiology. However, Aspetar Hospital is a very active unit, addressing key questions of both international and regional importance. As highlighted in this issue of BJSM, there are a large number of academic and clinical challenges within s...

Data warehouse governance: best practices at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina

The health care industry is grappling with the challenges of working with and analyzing large, complex, diverse data sets. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina provides several promising examples of how big data can be used to reduce the cost of care, to predict and manage health risks, and to improve clinical outcomes.

Consider two adolescents: Person One and Person Two. Person One has never used substances and exhibits relatively few behavioral (conduct) problems. On the other hand, Person Two uses substances frequently and more commonly exhibits poor conduct. If you were to guess, which of the individuals would you expect to have lower overall judgment and self-regulation? If you answered Person Two, your i...

Blue-shifted plasmon resonance of individual size-selected gold nanoparticles

The future implementation of integrated photonic devices requires the creation of nanostructures with well defined morphological and optical properties. To this end, we deposited size-selected gold nanoparticles produced by a gas phase aggregation cluster source on transparent substrates at room temperature with controlled impact energy. Interferometric optical detection measurements using a su...
