  • NASA telescience testbed Pilot Program
    Acta Astronautica, 1990
    Co-Authors: Barry M. Leiner, D.n. Rasmussen
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Universities Space Research Association (USRA), sponsored by the NASA Office of Space Science and Applications, conducted a Telescience Testbed Pilot Program (TTPP). Fifteen universities, under subcontract to USRA, conducted various scientific experiments using advanced computer and communications technologies. The goals of this Pilot Program were to develop technical and Programmatic recommendations for the use of rapid-prototyping testbeds as a means for addressing critical issues in the design of the information system of the Space Station Freedom era. In this paper, we discuss the results from the TTPP. These results include lessons learned about the technical requirements in four scientific areas (Earth Systems Sciences, Life Sciences, Microgravity Sciences, and Astronomy and Astrophysics) as well as general technical and Programmatic lessons concerning the information system of the future. The TTPP proved the effectiveness of having users, developers, and technologists join together in the investigation of critical information system issues.

  • substance use recovery outcomes among a cohort of youth participating in a mobile based texting aftercare Pilot Program
    Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment, 2014
    Co-Authors: Deborah C Glik, Rachel Gonzales, Debra A. Murphy, Douglas M Anglin
    Abstract:

    Abstract Project ESQYIR (Educating & Supporting Inquisitive Youth in Recovery) is a Pilot study examining the feasibility of a 12-week mobile-based aftercare intervention for youth (ages 12 to 24) transitioning out of community-based substance abuse treatment Programs. From January 2012 through July 2013, a total of 80 youth were recruited from outpatient and residential treatment Programs, geographically dispersed throughout Los Angeles County, California. Results revealed that youth who participated in the texting mobile Pilot intervention were significantly less likely to relapse to their primary compared to the aftercare as usual control condition (OR=0.52, p =0.002) over time (from baseline throughout the 12-week aftercare Pilot Program to a 90-day follow-up). Participants in the texting aftercare Pilot Program also reported significantly less substance use problem severity (β=−0.46, p =0.03) and were more likely to participate in extracurricular recovery behaviors (β=1.63, p =0.03) compared to participants in the standard aftercare group. Collectively, findings from this Pilot aftercare study suggest that mobile texting could provide a feasible way to engage youth in recovery after substance abuse treatment to aid with reducing relapse and promoting lifestyle behavior change.
