Depression, ART Adherence, and Receipt of Case Management Services by Adults with HIV in North Carolina, Medical Monitoring Project, 2009–2013

Damon F. Ogburn, Victor J. Schoenbach, Andrew Edmonds, Brian W. Pence, more

AIDS and Behavior > 2019 > 23 > 4 > 1004-1015

Depression among persons with HIV is associated with antiretroviral therapy (ART) interruption and discontinuation, virological failure, and poor clinical and survival outcomes. Case management services can address needs for emotional counseling and other supportive services to facilitate HIV care engagement. Using 2009–2013 North Carolina Medical Monitoring Project data from 910 persons engaged in...

Danielle F. Haley, Gina M. Wingood, Michael R. Kramer, Regine Haardörfer, more

Archives of Sexual Behavior > 2018 > 47 > 5 > 1451-1463

Neighborhood social and physical factors shape sexual network characteristics in HIV-seronegative adults in the U.S. This multilevel analysis evaluated whether these relationships also exist in a predominantly HIV-seropositive cohort of women. This cross-sectional multilevel analysis included data from 734 women enrolled in the Women’s Interagency HIV Study’s sites in the U.S. South. Census tract-level...

SLA-Enabled Infrastructure Management

John Kennedy, Andrew Edmonds, Victor Bayon, Pat Cheevers, more

Service Level Agreements for Cloud Computing > Management of the Infrastructure Layer > 271-287

This chapter documents a successful reference implementation of an SLA-enabled compute infrastructure. Limitations of current Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings are discussed, and an SLA-enabled implementation is introduced. Infrastructure SLA and services managers have been developed, as have extensions to Apache Tashi [11] and a low-level monitoring system. Efforts to develop a generic...

Open Cloud Computing Interface in Data Management-Related Setups

Andrew Edmonds, Thijs Metsch, Alexander Papaspyrou

Grid and Cloud Database Management > Open Standards and Specifications > 23-48

The Cloud community is a vivid group of people who drive the ideas of Cloud computing into different fields of Information Technology. This demands for standards to ensure interoperability and avoid vendor lock-in. Since such standards need to satisfy many requirements, use cases, and applications, they need to be extremely flexible and adaptive. The Open Cloud Computing Interface (OCCI) family of...

A Reference Architecture for Multi-Level SLA Management

Jens Happe, Wolfgang Theilmann, Andrew Edmonds, Keven T. Kearney

Service Level Agreements for Cloud Computing > Introduction to Service Level Agreements in Service Oriented Architectures > 13-26

Service-orientation is the core paradigm for organising business interactions and modern IT architectures. At the business level, service industries are becoming the dominating sector in which solutions are flexibly composed out of networked services. At the IT level, the paradigms of Service-Oriented Architecture and cloud computing realise service-orientation for both software and infrastructure...

Conditional cash transfers and uptake of and retention in prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission care: a randomised controlled trial

Marcel Yotebieng, Harsha Thirumurthy, Kathryn E Moracco, Bienvenu Kawende, more

The Lancet HIV > 2016 > 3 > 2 > e85-e93

Novel strategies are needed to increase retention in and uptake of prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission (PMTCT) services in sub-Saharan Africa. We aimed to determine whether small, increasing cash payments, which were conditional on attendance at scheduled clinic visits and receipt of proposed services can increase the proportions of HIV-infected pregnant women who accept available PMTCT...

Ongoing life stressors and suicidal ideation among HIV-infected adults with depression

Julie K. O’Donnell, Bradley N. Gaynes, Stephen R. Cole, Andrew Edmonds, more

Journal of Affective Disorders > 2016 > 190 > C > 322-328

Suicidal ideation is the most proximal risk factor for suicide and can indicate extreme psychological distress; identification of its predictors is important for possible intervention. Depression and stressful or traumatic life events (STLEs), which are more common among HIV-infected individuals than the general population, may serve as triggers for suicidal thoughts.A randomized controlled trial...

Cloud Incident Management, Challenges, Research Directions, and Architectural Approach

Victor Ion Munteanu, Andrew Edmonds, Thomas M. Bohnert, Teodor-Florin Fortis

2014 IEEE/ACM 7th International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing > 786 - 791

2014 IEEE/ACM 7th International Conference on Utility and Cloud Computing (UCC)

With the ongoing advancements in Cloud Computing, new technologies and standards are being developed, ever increasing the complexity of this environment along with the associated risks, thus making it difficult for companies to take advantage of the benefits Cloud Computing brings without being exposed to them. Due to this increased complexity, there is an increased chance of a deviation from the...

2012 Annual SRII Global Conference > 369 - 378

2012 Annual SRII Global Conference (SRII)

As cloud computing becomes a mainstream technology, information technology (IT) organizations rely increasingly on outsourced functions: today customer relationship management (CRM) and human resources (HR) applications, and even e-mail are commonly delegated to service providers. This relationship can be recursive. Software as a service (SaaS) providers may not own their infrastructure. If their...

Production of Multiple Diamond-Based Single-Photon Sources

Stefania Castelletto, Andrew Edmonds, Torsten Gaebel, James Rabeau

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics > 2012 > 18 > 6 > 1792 - 1798

Fluorescent emitters in diamond are considered to be a valuable resource for fields such as quantum communication, quantum photonics, and biological imaging. In this paper, we report a wide range of narrow bandwidth $({\sim}1.5$ nm) spectral emission lines arising from different color centers at room temperature. The defects were created by chemical vapor deposition of thin diamond films grown on silica...
