Non-profit human service organizations, both public and private, face unique challenges and opportunities in the climate of the 1990s as human needs are increasing, funding is decreasing, and threats to organizational well-being are encountered. The purpose of this paper is to describe, advocate for, and illustrate a strategic planning model which facilitates a proactive, energizing, futuristic vision as services are being planned and delivered. Three case examples are used: a large state-run county social services department; a small, private, sectarian agency that provides group home services for the developmentally disabled; and a medium sized federal public health hospital.
The Mössbauer spectra(MS) of powder samples of SmFe1−xCoxAsO(x=0.0, 0.05, and 0.1) were measured in applied fields up to 9 T and at temperatures up to 298 K. SmFeAsO is magnetically ordered with TN =137 K and has a hyperfine magnetic field of (4.98±0.18) T at 4.2 K. In applied magnetic fields the MS is consistent with a distribution of hyperfine magnetic fields of width H applied + H hyperf ine . This arises because the angles between the direction of the ordered field in the crystallites making up the sample are randomly distributed about the direction of the applied field. The MS of the superconductors SmFe0.95Co0.05AsO(TC ≃5 K) and SmFe0.9Co0.1AsO(TC ≃17 K) are well-described by a single peak from room temperature to 4.2 K indicating the absence of static magnetic order. However the half width at half maximum, Γ, of the peak in SmFe0.95Co0.05AsO increases with decreasing temperature from its high temperature value, 0.13 mm/sec at 25 K, to 0.25 mm/sec at 10 K. No such temperature dependence is seen in SmFe0.9Co0.1AsO. We analyze this temperature dependence in terms a fluctuating hyperfine magnetic field model whose frequency at 4.2 K is found to be ∼5 -10 MHz, giving direct evidence of coexisting magnetic fluctuations and superconductivity at the interface in the phase diagram between the regions with magnetic and superconducting order. In a 5 T applied field SmFe0.95Co0.05AsO is no longer superconducting, however the temperature dependent fluctuating magnetic field is still present and largely unchanged. The absence of fluctuations in superconducting SmFe0.9Co0.1AsO and their presence in superconducting SmFe0.95Co0.05AsO in zero applied field and in nonsuperconducting SmFe0.95Co0.05AsO at 5T suggests that magnetic order is in competition with superconductivity in SmFe1−xCoxAsO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
