Jewish Memorial Hospital and Rehabilitation Center (Roxbury, Mass.) records, undated, 1915-1999

The records provide material relating to the accreditation, fundraising, management, planning, policies, programs, and public relations of a hospital that continues to serve the Greater Boston area. The records includes correspondence of various Presidents, Board Members, and Executive Directors; Board and committee minutes; scrapbooks, photographs, videotape, and film created by the Public Relations department; records of various Auxiliary groups; correspondence, reports, surveys, and other documents relating to the Pediatric Rehabilitation Program; and artifacts such as plaques, portraits, and silverware.

Understanding the civic impact of journalism

The importance of journalism to civil society is constantly proclaimed, but empirical evidence on journalism's impact, and how this operates, is surprisingly thin. Indeed, there is confusion even about what is meant by the term “impact”. Meanwhile, the issue of the role of journalism is becoming increasingly urgent as a consequence of the rapid changes engulfing the news media, brought about by technological change and the flow-on effect to the traditional advertising-supported business model. Assessing the impact of journalism has recently been the topic of debate among practitioners and scholars particularly in the United States, where philanthropists have responded to the perceived crisis in investigative journalism by funding not-for-profit newsrooms, with resulting new pressures being placed on journalists and editors to quantify their impact on society. These recent attempts have so far failed to achieve clarity or a satisfactory conclusion, which is not surprising given the complex web of causation within which journalism operates. In this paper, the authors propose a stratified definition of journalistic impact and function. They propose a methodology for studying impact drawing on realistic evaluation—a theory-based approach developed primarily to assess large social programmes occurring in open systems. The authors argue this could allow a conceptual and methodological advance on the question of media impacts, leading to research capable of usefully informing responses at a time of worrying change.

Trifurcated (four-center) hydrogen bond in solid state crystal structure of 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine p-toluenesulfonate

The crystal structure of 5'-amino-5'-deoxyadenosine (5'-Am.dA) p-toluenesulfonate has been determined by X-ray crystallographic methods. It belongs to the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 7.754(3)Angstrom, b = 8.065(1)Angstrom and c = 32.481(2)Angstrom. This nucleoside side shows a syn conformation about the glycosyl bond and C2'-endo-C3'-exo puckering for the ribose sugar. The orientation of N5' atom is gauche-trans about the exocyclic C4'-C5' bond. The amino nitrogen N5' forms a trifurcated hydrogen bond with N3, O9T and O4' atoms. Adenine bases form A.A.A triplets through hydrogen bonding between N6, N7 and N1 atoms of symmetry related nucleoside molecules.

Theoretical Investigation on the Effect of Different Nitrogen Donors on Intramolecular Se center dot center dot center dot N Interactions

The effect of different donor nitrogen atoms on the strength and nature of intramolecular Se center dot center dot center dot N interactions is evaluated for organoselenium compounds having N,N-dimethylaminomethyl (dime), oxazoline (oxa) and pyridyl (py) substituents. Quantum chemical calculations on three series of compounds [2-(dime)C6H4SeX (1a-g), 2-(oxa)C6H4SeX (2a-g), 2- (py)C6H4SeX (3-ag); X=Cl, Br, OH, CN, SPh, SePh, CH3] at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level show that the stability of different conformers depends on the strength of intramolecular nonbonded Se center dot center dot center dot N interactions. Natural bond orbital (NBO), NBO deletion and atoms in molecules (AIM) analyses suggest that the nature of the Se center dot center dot center dot N interaction is predominantly covalent and involves nN ->sigma*(Se-X) orbital interaction. In the three series of compounds, the strength of the Se center dot center dot center dot N interaction decreases in the order 3>2>1 for a particular X, and it decreases in the order Cl > Br > OH>SPh approximate to CN approximate to SePh>CH3 for all the three series 1-3. However, further analyses suggest that the differences in strength of Se center dot center dot center dot N interaction in 1-3 is predominantly determined by the distance between the Se and N atoms, which in turn is an outcome of specific structures of 1, 2 and 3, and the nature of the donor nitrogen atoms involved has very little effect on the strength of Se center dot center dot center dot N interaction. It is also observed that Se center dot center dot center dot N interaction becomes stronger in polar solvents such as CHCl3, as indicated by the shorter r(Se center dot center dot center dot N) and higher E-Se center dot center dot center dot N values in CHCl3 compared to those observed in the gas phase.
