Background
Research suggests that an 8-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) course may be effective for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).
AimsTo compare changes in anxiety levels among participants with GAD randomly assigned to MBCT, cognitive–behavioural therapy-based psychoeducation and usual care.
MethodIn total, 182 participants with GAD were recruited (trial registration number: CUHK_CCT00267) and assigned to the three groups and followed for 5 months after baseline assessment with the two intervention groups followed for an additional 6 months. Primary outcomes were anxiety and worry levels.
ResultsLinear mixed models demonstrated significant group × time interaction (F(4,148) = 5.10, P = 0.001) effects for decreased anxiety for both the intervention groups relative to usual care. Significant group × time interaction effects were observed for worry and depressive symptoms and mental health-related quality of life for the psychoeducation group only.
ConclusionsThese results suggest that both of the interventions appear to be superior to usual care for the reduction of anxiety symptoms.

BACKGROUND
High-quality cost estimates for hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) are vital evidence for healthcare policy and decision-making.
OBJECTIVETo evaluate the costs attributable to hospital-acquired CDI from the healthcare payer perspective.
METHODSWe conducted a population-based propensity-score matched cohort study of incident hospitalized subjects diagnosed with CDI (those with the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision, Canada code A04.7) from January 1, 2003, through December 31, 2010, in Ontario, Canada. Infected subjects were matched to uninfected subjects (those without the code A04.7) on age, sex, comorbidities, geography, and other variables, and followed up through December 31, 2011. We stratified results by elective and nonelective admissions. The main study outcomes were up-to-3-year costs, which were evaluated in 2014 Canadian dollars.
RESULTSWe identified 28,308 infected subjects (mean annual incidence, 27.9 per 100,000 population, 3.3 per 1,000 admissions), with a mean age of 71.5 years (range, 0–107 years), 54.0% female, and 8.0% elective admissions. For elective admission subjects, cumulative mean attributable 1-, 2-, and 3-year costs adjusted for survival (undiscounted) were $32,151 (95% CI, $28,192–$36,005), $34,843 ($29,298–$40,027), and $37,171 ($30,364–$43,415), respectively. For nonelective admission subjects, the corresponding costs were $21,909 ($21,221–$22,609), $26,074 ($25,180–$27,014), and $29,944 ($28,873–$31,086), respectively.
CONCLUSIONSHospital-acquired CDI is associated with substantial healthcare costs. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first CDI costing study to present longitudinal costs. New strategies may be warranted to mitigate this costly infectious disease.

The focus of the present paper is to examine the strategy use in Australian small and medium enterprises exporting to Asia. A selection of strategic issues is examined in order to identify their relative importance to a firm's exporting activities. No attempt is made to establish a causal linkage between strategy and export performance. Rather, the paper attempts to appraise the level of importance of various strategic factors that are often dealt with by an exporting firm. The study was conducted with an expectation of assisting future research endeavours into the relevance of strategies to export-performance. A set of impediments and the extent of their negativity on the exporting activities have also been considered, the understanding of which may help a firm in achieving appropriate strategic direction. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used in an attempt to capture the intricacies and challenges of using strategies in a cross-cultural environment.

White OLEDs (WOLEDTMs) fabricated using energy efficient phosphorescent OLED (PHOLEDTM) technology open up exciting new ways to develop efficient white lighting. WOLEDs have the potential to transform the lighting industry. In this presentation, phosphorescent WOLEDs with high conductivity transport layers will be discussed. White light can be generated by partial energy transfer from blue to green and red. Single WOLED stacks are demonstrated that match the Energy Star® lighting color criteria for 2700K and 3000K with high efficiency (˜80 lm/W) and high color rendering indices (˜80). Both devices had operational lifetimes (LT70%) over 30,000 hours measured from an initial luminance of 1,000 cd/m2. Different techniques to improve optical outcoupling will also be discussed.

Let ${{A}_{n}}\,=\,\{{{a}_{0}}+{{a}_{1}}z+\,.\,.\,.\,+\,{{a}_{n-1}}{{z}^{n-1}}\,:\,{{a}_{j}}\,\in \,\{0,1\}\}$ , whose elements are called zero-one polynomials and correspond naturally to the ${{2}^{n}}$ subsets of $\left[ n \right]\,:=\,\{0,\,1,\,.\,.\,.\,,\,n-1\}$. We also let ${{A}_{n,m\,}}\,=\,\{\alpha \left( z \right)\,\in \,{{A}_{n}}\,:\,\alpha \left( 1 \right)\,=\,m\}$ , whose elements correspond to the $\left( _{m}^{n} \right)$ subsets of $\left[ n \right]$ of size $m$, and let ${{B}_{n}}\,=\,{{A}_{n+1}}\,\backslash \,{{A}_{n}}$ , whose elements are the zero-one polynomials of degree exactly $n$.
Many researchers have studied norms of polynomials with restricted coefficients. Using $\|\alpha {{\|}_{p}}$ to denote the usual ${{L}_{p}}$ norm of $\alpha$ on the unit circle, one easily sees that $\alpha \left( z \right)\,=\,{{a}_{0}}+{{a}_{1}}z+.\,.\,.+{{a}_{N}}{{z}^{N}}\,\in \,\mathbb{R}\left[ z \right]$ satisfies $\|\alpha \|_{2}^{2}\,=\,{{c}_{0}}$ and $\|\alpha \|_{4}^{4}\,=\,c_{0}^{2}\,+\,2\left( c_{1}^{2}\,+\,.\,.\,.\,+\,c_{N}^{2} \right)$ , where ${{c}_{k}}\,:=\,\sum _{j=0}^{N-k}\,{{a}_{j}}{{a}_{j+k}}\,\text{for}\,\text{0}\le \,\text{k}\,\le N$.
If $\alpha \left( z \right)\,\in \,{{A}_{n,m}}$ , say $\alpha \left( z \right)\,=\,{{z}^{{{\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ }}_{1}}}}\,+\,.\,.\,.\,+\,{{z}^{{{\text{ }\!\!\beta\!\!\text{ }}_{m}}}}$ where ${{\beta }_{1}}\,<\,.\,.\,.\,<\,{{\beta }_{m}}$ , then ${{c}_{k}}$ is the number of times $k$ appears as a difference ${{\beta }_{i}}\,-\,{{\beta }_{j}}$ . The condition that $\alpha \,\in \,{{A}_{n,m}}$ satisfies ${{c}_{k}}\,\in \,\{0,1\}$ for $1\,\le \,k\,\le \,n\,-\,1$ is thus equivalent to the condition that $\{{{\beta }_{1}},\,.\,.\,.\,,\,{{\beta }_{m}}\}$ is a Sidon set (meaning all differences of pairs of elements are distinct).
In this paper, we find the average of $\left\| \alpha \right\|_{4}^{4}$ over $\alpha \,\in \,{{A}_{n}}$, $\alpha \,\in \,{{B}_{n}}$ and $\alpha \,\in \,{{A}_{n,m}}$. We further show that our expression for the average of $\left\| \alpha \right\|_{4}^{4}$ over ${{A}_{n,m}}$ yields a new proof of the known result: if $m\,=\,o\left( {{n}^{1/4}} \right)$ and $B\left( n,\,m \right)$ denotes the number of Sidon sets of size $m$ in $\left[ n \right]$, then almost all subsets of $\left[ n \right]$ of size $m$ are Sidon, in the sense that ${{\lim }_{n\to \infty }}\,B\left( n,\,m \right)/\left( _{m}^{n} \right)\,=\,1$.

The main result of this paper gives an explicit computation of the $L_4$ norm of any cyclotomic polynomial of the form \[ f(x)=\Phi_{p_1}(\pm x)\Phi_{p_2}(\pm x^{p_1})\cdots \Phi_{p_r}(\pm x^{p_1 p_2\cdots p_{r-1}}). \] Here $\Phi_{p}$ is the $p$th cyclotomic polynomial and the $p_i$ are primes that are not necessarily distinct.
A corollary of this is the following theorem.
THEOREM. If\[ f(x)=\Phi_{p_1}(\e_1 x)\Phi_{p_2}(\e_2 x^{p_1})\cdots \Phi_{p_r}(\e_r x^{p_1 p_2\cdots p_{r-1}}), \]where N = p1p2···prand εj = ±, then \[ \frac{\| f\|_4^4}{N^2} & \ge & \frac{\big\|\Phi_2(-x)\Phi_2(-x^2)\cdots \Phi_2\big({-}x^{2^{r-1}}\big) \big\|_4^4}{4^r}\\& = & \frac{\big(\frac12 +\frac{5}{34}\sqrt{17}\big)(1+\sqrt{17})^r - \big({-}\frac12 +\frac{5}{34}\sqrt{17}\big)(1-\sqrt{17})^r}{4^r}. \] In particular the minimum possible normalized L4 norm of any polynomial of the above form is attained by \[ \Phi_2(-x)\Phi_2(-x^2)\cdots \Phi_2\big({-}x^{2^{r-1}}\big). \]

Let $H$ be a complex Hilbert space, and $\mathcal{H}\left( H \right)$ be the real linear space of bounded selfadjoint operators on $H$. We study linear maps $\phi :\,\mathcal{H}(H)\,\to \,\mathcal{H}(H)$ leaving invariant various properties such as invertibility, positive definiteness, numerical range, etc. The maps $\phi$ are not assumed a priori continuous. It is shown that under an appropriate surjective or injective assumption $\phi$ has the form $X\mapsto \xi TX{{T}^{*}}orX\mapsto \xi T{{X}^{t}}{{T}^{*}}$, for a suitable invertible or unitary $T$ and $\xi \,\in \,\{1,\,-1\}$, where ${{X}^{t}}$ stands for the transpose of $X$ relative to some orthonormal basis. Examples are given to show that the surjective or injective assumption cannot be relaxed. The results are extended to complex linear maps on the algebra of bounded linear operators on $H$. Similar results are proved for the (real) linear space of (selfadjoint) operators of the form $\alpha I\,+\,K$, where $\alpha$ is a scalar and $K$ is compact.

We give explicit formulas for the ${{L}_{4}}$ norm (or equivalently for the merit factors) of various sequences of polynomials related to the polynomials
$$f\left( z \right):=\,\sum\limits_{n=0}^{N-1}{\left( \frac{n}{N} \right){{z}^{n}}.}$$and
$${{f}_{t}}(z)\,=\,\sum\limits_{n=0}^{N-1}{\left( \frac{n+t}{N} \right){{z}^{n}}.}$$where $\left( \frac{.}{N} \right)$ is the Jacobi symbol.
Two cases of particular interest are when $N\,=\,pq$ is a product of two primes and $p\,=\,q\,+\,2$ or $p\,=\,q\,+\,4$. This extends work of Høholdt, Jensen and Jensen and of the authors.
This study arises from a number of conjectures of Erdős, Littlewood and others that concern the norms of polynomials with −1, 1 coefficients on the disc. The current best examples are of the above form when $N$ is prime and it is natural to see what happens for composite $N$.

Let q be a prime and χ be a non-principal character modulo q. Let
formula here
where 1 [les ] t [les ] q is the character polynomial associated to χ (cyclically permuted t places). The principal result is that for any non-principal and non-real character χ modulo q and 1 [les ] t [les ] q,
formula here
where the implicit constant is independent of t and q. Here ∥·∥4 denotes the L4 norm on the unit circle.
It follows from this that all cyclically permuted character polynomials associated with non-principal and non-real characters have merit factors that approach 3. This complements and completes results of Golay, Høholdt and Jensen, and Turyn (and others). These results show that the merit factors of cyclically permuted character polynomials associated with non-principal real characters vary asymptotically between 3/2 and 6.
The averages of the L4 norms are also computed. Let q be a prime number. Then
formula here
where the summation is over all characters modulo q.
