A study by The Commonwealth Fund found that children in Medicaid managed care receive significantly lower rates for clinical quality indicators, including childhood immunizations and well-child visits. High-performing plans with both commercial and Medicaid enrollees were able to achieve high HEDIS performance measures.
A NASA study has found a significant increase in solar radiation over the past 24 years, which could contribute to global climate change. The trend is comparable to one previously reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and may have been present throughout the 20th century.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro delivers top performance and advanced cameras for field documentation, data collection, and secure research communications.
The Sandia hardware allows large data sets to be viewed and manipulated interactively without needing to send copies to separate locations. The technology, which leverages advances in 3D commercial rendering, enables users to experience sitting at a supercomputer from thousands of miles away.
The Georgia Tech/Goddard Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) model accurately reproduces short-term and long-term variations in dust concentrations and distributions. The model provides five-day dust forecasts to warn people with respiratory problems and fisheries about potential red tides.
A new study by O.R. researchers found that the value of the dollar significantly impacts a company's decision on whether to export or invest in foreign production facilities. In depreciated currencies, strong exports favor the choice of ownership structure, while appreciated currencies favor investments in overseas production.
