Spin correlation in t&tmacr; production from p&pmacr; collisions at radicals = 1.8 TeV

The D0 collaboration has performed a study of spin correlation in t&tmacr; production for the process t&tmacr;-->bW(+)&bmacr;W-, where the W bosons decay to enu or &mgr;nu. A sample of six events was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of approximately 125 pb(-1) of sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV p&pmacr; collisions. The standard model (SM) predicts that the short lifetime of the top quark ensures the transmission of any spin information at production to the t&tmacr; decay products. The degree of spin correlation is characterized by a correlation coefficient kappa. We find that kappa>-0.25 at the 68% confidence level, in agreement with the SM prediction of kappa = 0.88.

Diversity in nursing: a challenge for the profession.

Affirmative action policies and programs have been in place since the 1960's to afford academic and job opportunities for women and minorities. The past few years have brought about debate and controversy over the benefits of affirmative action. In spite of affirmative action, minorities continue to be underrepresented in nursing. With the increase of minorities in the general population, nursing will be ill prepared to meet the challenge of providing care to a diverse society. One of the major reasons cited for an underrepresented minority population in nursing is the lack of recruitment and retention strategies. The answers are not in affirmative action alone, but from within nursing itself.
