The Albanian-American Community in the United States : A Diaspora Coming to Visibility 1 Nadège Ragaru and Amilda Dymi * The Albanian-American community in the United States became visible at the time of the NATO intervention in Kosovo in the Spring of 1999. The US government had promised to shelter 20,000 Kosovars expelled from their homeland by Serb-dominated Yugoslav forces (Michael Kranish and Mary Leonard, 1999). As refugees hit American soil, stories of family reunion and community solidarity were told in the local and national press. True, there had been earlier rallies in Washington organized by Albanian-American organizations that had hinted at the wish, on the part of the Albanian immigrants, to weigh upon US foreign policy towards the Balkans.

  • Speaker Biographies Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID Director
    Speaker Biographies Dr. Anthony Fauci, NIAID Director Dr. Fauci was appointed director of NIAID in 1984. He oversees an extensive portfolio of basic and applied research to prevent, diagnose, and treat established infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis and malaria as well as emerging diseases such as Ebola and Zika. NIAID also supports research on transplantation and immune-related illnesses, including autoimmune disorders, asthma and allergies. The NIAID budget for fiscal year 2020 is an estimated $5.9 billion. Dr. Fauci has advised six presidents on HIV/AIDS and many other domestic and global health issues. He was one of the principal architects of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), a program that has saved millions of lives throughout the developing world. Dr. Fauci also is the longtime chief of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation. He has made many contributions to basic and clinical research on the pathogenesis and treatment of immune- mediated and infectious diseases. He helped pioneer the field of human immunoregulation by making important basic scientific observations that underpin the current understanding of the regulation of the human immune response. In addition, Dr. Fauci is widely recognized for delineating the precise ways that immunosuppressive agents modulate the human immune response. He developed effective therapies for formerly fatal inflammatory and immune-mediated diseases such as polyarteritis nodosa, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (formerly Wegener's granulomatosis), and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. A 1985 Stanford University Arthritis Center Survey of the American Rheumatism Association membership ranked Dr. Fauci’s work on the treatment of polyarteritis nodosa and granulomatosis with polyangiitis among the most important advances in patient management in rheumatology over the previous 20 years.

  • V 27 No 1 March 2013
    II RR PP SS BULLETIN Newsletter of the International Radiation Physics Society Vol 27 No 1 March, 2013 One is constantly amazed at the exotic applications and breadth of physical insight that continues to spring from “old fashioned” x-ray spectroscopy. The choice of the cover art for this issue was inspired by a recent report in Nature* on the first determination of the spin rate of a supermassive black hole; and it is 84% as fast as Einstein's theory of gravity will allow. This required combining measurements from two x-ray spectroscopic space observatories, NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) and the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton, in this instance both focused upon a galaxy-centered black hole (NGC1365) that has a mass 2 million times that of our sun and is 56 million light years distant. This required assessing both the higher energy continuum portion of spectra (10 keV to 30 keV from NuSTAR) as well as the broadened x-ray emission lines from neutral and partially ionized iron (XMM-Newton), interpreted as fluorescence produced by the reflection of hard X-rays (from the relativistic jet) off the inner edge of an accretion disk. The line broadening occurs from Doppler broadening, gravitational red shifting, and “blue shifting” from partially ionized Fe. *A rapidly spinning supermassive black hole at the centre of NGC1365, G.
