## Geographic Bridges for Importation of STD in the Seattle Metropolitan Area:Barbarians at the Gates

- Roxanne P. Kerani, Matthew R. Golden, William L.H. Whittington, Hunter H. Handsfield, King K. Holmes

## Background

- Bridges serve as links for subpopulations with differing prevalances of STD
- Geographic bridges may import STD from high to low prevalence regions
- Few studies have examined travel and STDs other than HIV

## Objectives

- To describe geographic bridges residing in the Seattle Metropolitan Area (SMA)
- To compare attributes of partnerships involving partners residing in and outside of the SMA

## Methods

- Data collected as part of a study of expedited partner treatment
- Study period:  Oct, 1998 – Jan, 2002
- Population:  Residents of King Co., WA
- Heterosexual
- 14+  years
- Diagnosed & reported with gonorrhea or chlamydia
- Contacted within 14 days of treatment

## Methods

- Exclusions:
- Current incarceration
- No provider consent for contact
- No sex partners (SP) in previous 60 days
- Persons with unknown residence
- N = 3,123
- Interviews included questions regarding up to nine SPs in previous 60 days

## Bridgers

- Participants with partners residing both in (local) and outside (distant) the SMA

## Methods

- Analyses of individuals:
- Bivariate:  T-tests and chi-squares
- Multivariate:  Logistic regression
- Analyses of partnerships
- Bivariate:  GEE models

## Study Population

## Bridgers

- 310 (9.5%) of participants reported at least one distant partner
- 140 (4.9%) of participants reported both local and distant partners (bridgers)

## Percent BridgersDemographics & STD Dx

## Education, Employment, and Residence

## Number of Sex Partners

## Concurrency and Reason for Visit

## Multivariate Results

## Results - Partnerships

- Partnerships among bridgers: N=329
- Residence of partners:
- 53% SMA
- 14% Elsewhere in WA
- 33% Within the US, outside WA

## Partner Type and Ability to Contact

## Partner Knowledge of Infectionand Perceived Future Sex with SP

## Partnerships: Perceived Transmission Direction

## Summary

- 5% of patients were geographic bridges
- Bridgers were more likely to be white, older, employed, and of higher SES, and to report more partners and concurrency
- Distant partnerships were more likely to represent casual relationships with little potential for future contact

## Limitations

- Study sample not representative of all gonorrhea and chlamydia cases in King Co.
- Direction of transmission is unknown
- We don’t know where sex took place
- Anonymous partners may be underrepresented

## Conclusions

- Factors associated with bridging are generally those associated with low rates of STD
- Bridges may be important in maintaining GC/CT endemicity in low prevalence populations
- Is business travel related to risky sex?
- Control of disease in some populations may require enhanced collaboration between distant public health agencies

## Writing Tipsfor NOAA Correspondence

## Write in the Active Voice

- Active sentences are usually shorter and more dynamic than passive sentences.  Active writing is more forceful and more self-confident.
- When the structure of the sentence has the actor in front of the action, the sentence is in the active voice
- 	*Australian companies **manufacture millions of precision machine tools.*
- When the structure of the sentence has the receiver in front of the action, the sentence is in the passive voice
*Millions of **precision machine tools **are manufactured by Australian companies.*

- Writing Tips for NOAA Correspondence

## Split Infinitives

- There is an old "rule" in English stating infinitives should never be separated--the two parts of an infinitive should always be kept together.

- These are split infinitives
- to quickly leave
- to always want
- to easily excel
- to not fail a class
- The “to “is separated from the base form of the verb by another word.   In other words, a word or phrase comes between the to and the base form.

- These are not split infinitives
- to leave quickly
- to want always
- to excel easily
- not to fail a class
- The “to” is now right next to the base form of the verb--the intervening word or phrase has been moved to either before or after the infinitive.  In other words, nothing comes between the to and the base form.

- Writing Tips for NOAA Correspondence

## General Tips

- Active vs. Passive
- Correct:  “Thank you for your letter...”
- Incorrect:  “I want to thank you for your letter...”
- Correct:  “Congratulations on your retirement...”
- Incorrect:  “I would like to congratulate you on your retirement...”
- Avoid words ending in ‘ly’
- currently, additionally, recently

- Writing Tips for NOAA Correspondence

## General Tips

- Numbers in correspondence
- Spell out numbers one through nine
- Use numerals for numbers 10 and above
- Proper use of acronyms
- Spell out the first time, use acronym for each instance following
- If not referred to again, an acronym is not necessary
- Avoid using the word “that”

- Writing Tips for NOAA Correspondence

## General Tips

- Ship names should be italicized
- Correct:  NOAA Ship *Okeanos Explorer*
- Incorrect:  NOAA Ship OKEANOS EXPLORER
- Italicize titles of books, papers, television programs, etc.
- Correct:  *60 Minutes *and *War and Peace*
- Incorrect:  60 Minutes and War and Peace
- Expressing Large Numbers
- Correct:  1 million
- Incorrect:  1,000,000

## Automated Recertification Training System (ARTS) ENSCO, Inc., Springfield, Virginia

- Innovation
- ENSCO has applied advanced training technology in the development of interactive computer-based training (CBT) courseware, enabling accelerated learning by personnel who operate and maintain high technology systems.

- Accomplishments
- -  Advanced CBT application developed for NASA at Kennedy Space Center called the Automated Recertification Training System (ARTS) increased training efficiency and cost effectiveness for technicians in learning critical skills.
- -  Evaluation of CBT courseware at KSC showed up to 50 percent reduction in training time over classroom-based methods with a 10 to 20 percent improvement in pre/post test scores.
- -  CBT development time was reduced by 30 to 60 percent, enabling courseware to be maintained by non-programmers.
- - Additional CBT programs developed for other customers that train analysts and technicians to operate and maintain systems for communications, safety, and weather forecasting systems.
- -  Total revenue generated from follow-on efforts is approximately $350K through October 1998.

- Commercialization
- -  Experience gained in the SBIR led directly to development of an international training program to accompany the installation of a seismic array network for monitoring the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.  The training program, developed for AlliedSignal Corp., includes CBT modules that instruct host nation technicians in the operation, maintenance, and administration of seismic array stations.  Use of interactive multimedia technology will reduce training time and make seismic array systems easier to use and maintain.

- Government/Science Applications
- -  For NASA/KSC, ENSCO developed CBT pilot training troubleshooting and maintenance of Space Shuttle components.  Multimedia technology provided realistic portrayal of shop floor scenarios, allowing just-in-time (JIT) recertification by KSC technicians.
- -  Interactive CBT course enabling shop floor technicians to become familiar with data collection and analysis procedures that measure the effectiveness of Shuttle processing operations.
- -  KSC contractors continue to use ARTS concepts and methodologies in JIT CBT programs, which have contributed to improved Shuttle processing safety and efficiency.
- -  For the U.S. Air Force, ENSCO developed CBT programs for training Air Force personnel in weather and safety systems critical to Eastern Range Spacelift Operations.
- -  Also for the Air Force, a CBT application to illustrate the operation and underlying principles associated with NASA’s Lightning Detection and Ranging (LDAR) System was produced.

**Innovative Opportunities to Improve Your Population’s Health:**
**Targeted Strategies for Using Pharmacists in State and Local Public Health Efforts**
- Kathleen Downs, R.Ph., M.P.H.

## “The pharmacist is the most accessible and most trusted health professional.   In 1998 – for the 10th consecutive year – America’s pharmacists topped the Gallup Poll list of businessman and professionals for their honesty and ethical standards.”

## Pharmacists are ACCESSIBLE

## 173,000 pharmacists nationwideand 112,000 pharmacists in community outlets

- In the last quarter century, pharmacy has expanded its role with the health care delivery system from a profession focusing on preparation and dispensing of medications to patients to one in which pharmacists provide a range of patient-oriented services to maximize the medicine’s effectiveness.

## CDC & Pharmacy                 Target GI Ulcers                       and Gastric Cancer

- 90% peptic and duodenal ulcers caused by *Heliobacter pylori (H.pylori)*
- CDC enlisted pharmacists in their effort to educate the public during Ulcer Awareness Week

- Louis Pasteur discovered the method for the attenuation of virulent microorganisms that is the basis of vaccination, and developed vaccines against chicken cholera, anthrax and swine erysipelas. After mastering his method of vaccination, he applied this concept to rabies. On July 6, 1885, his pioneering rabies treatment was tested on a human  for the first time.1894 Roux describes first diphtheria cure, tetanus and typhoid follow.  Humans begin to cure, not simply treat, disease. Mankind is no longer a helpless bystander in the face of these infections.

## Mastering Stem Cells

- Molecular Biologist Peggy Goodell:
- Unveiling Stem Cell Genetics

## Goodell Examines Stem Cells

*Molecular biologist Goodell wants to improve health with stem cells*

*Stem cells*
- Start out as “generic” cells
- Come in 2 varieties: embryonic and adult
- Divide indefinitely

*Question:*
-    Can all stem cells make any kind of cell?

## Answer: No

**Adult stem cells are already specialized**

**Differentiated:** Adult stem cells in skin can only make skin cells, and adult stem cells in blood can only become blood cells, for example
**Undifferentiated:** Embryonic stem cells are blank slates that can make any kind of cell (skin, blood, or nerve, for instance)

## Unlimited Potential

- Human embryonic stem cells (HESC) can make 220 different cells
- HESC can be used to
- Study normal human cells
- Understand the causes of birth defects
- Test drug safety and effectiveness

- Image: Jeff Miller

**Stem cell colony**

## Specialized Cells

- Hematopoetic stem cells (HSC)
- Adult stem cells that manufacture all blood cells (red and white)
- Found mostly in bone marrow
- Replenish sick and dying blood cells

## Addressing a Challenge

**Background:****  **Patients get bone marrow transplants (containing less than 1% HSC) to produce healthy blood cells.  More HSC would make bone marrow transplants safer.

**Problem:****  **Bone marrow doesn’t contain a dense concentration of HSC.

**Challenge:****  **Get HSC to make more of itself.

**Linking Thermal and Reflective Properties to Assess Water Resources**

**John Schott**
**RIT**

## Overview

- Visible Image of Charlotte Pier

- Thermal Image of Charlotte Pier

**Profile:**  3D Model of Fluid Flow and Sediment Transport

***  Use aerial imagery to describe 3D fluid flow in plumes. **

## The Procedure:  Reflective 

**3 major constituents in water: CHL, CDOM, SM.**
**Varying the concentrations of the 3 constituents results in different reflective spectra.**

## The Procedure: Reflective

**We can create a LUT of the various spectra.**
**We use the LUT to tell us the concentration of the 3 constituents in an imaged water pixel.**

## The Procedure: Reflective

**min **[(**S****T**** - S****P****)****2**** ]**

**λ**

**S****p**** predicted**

**S****T**** image data**

**S****Q**** Error**

**[CHL] [TSS] [CDOM]**

**TRUE**

**FALSE**

**[ SM ]**

** ****[CDOM ]**

**LUT**

**[ C ]**

## The Procedure: Thermal Data

**We want to develop a hydrodynamic model of subsurface flow.**
**Invert image data to surface temperatures.**
**Varying Inputs (flow rate, met data, etc) of hydrodynamic model, we can use thermal data to “calibrate” model.**

## The Procedure: Thermal Data

**Use hydrodynamic model to predict 3D distribution of sediment in receiving waters.**
**Use reflective data to “calibrate” prediction. Adjust loadings until predicted optical properties match observation.**

## Where Are We Now?

**AVIRIS**

**ETM+**

**    ****NEXT**

**Hydrolight**

**Resample**

## Where are we now?

**How does each sensor perform in detecting a pixel’s concentration of the 3 constituents?**
**200 pixels tested and each sensor’s performance evaluated. **

## Where are we now?

**AVIRIS has smallest RMS error followed by Next, then ETM+.**
**We want to retry process with quantization.**
**Does 12-bit quantizer in ‘Next’ further drive down RMS.**

## Where are we now?

**Above numbers represent the standard deviation of the LUT’s error in picking correct constituent concentration.**
**We want to retry process with quantization.**
**Does 12-bit quantizer in ‘Next’ further drive down standard deviation.**

## Measuring Radius of Curvature of Off-Axis Surfaces at Ambient and Cryogenic Temperatures Using High Accuracy ADM

- Brian Robinson, Graduate Student
- University of Alabama in Huntsville
- Center for Applied Optics

- Sponsors: Joseph Geary-UAH  Philip Stahl-NASA MSFC

## AMSD Requirements

- AMSD is an off-axis parabola whose vertex is 2 meters from outside edge.
- SOW requires parent vertex ROC = 10 m ± 1 mm at cryogenic temperatures.
- MSFC needs capability to verify compliance by vendors with this requirement and measure change in radius as temperature changes.

## Measure radius of curvature changes, due to thermal contraction, as temperature goes from ambient to cryogenic.

- Cryogenic

- Ambient

## Current method for radius of curvature measurement 

- Test mirror

- PS

- PSI

- Current method for radius of curvature measurement

- ROC

- CC plane

- V

## Current ROC measurement capabilities don’t meet AMSD requirements.

- For AMSD, need to be able to measure absolute distance with an accuracy of about ±0.1 mm.

## The search for a more accurate instrument

## Attains higher accuracy using external modulation of polarization of measurement probe beam.

- Beam can be broken and measurement is not frustrated by window separating vacuum chamber from instrument chamber.
- Absolute distance measured to diffuse scatterer with high accuracy without use of retroreflector such as corner cube.

- New ADM from Leica is instrument of choice

## Slide 8

## ADM - Beam Pass and Phase Control

## First-order treatment of ROC measurement:

- Calculate departure from sphere and corresponding measurement error.
- Can we live with this much error?
- If not, go to curve fitting solution.

## Curve-fitting treatment of ROC measurement:

- When enough sample points are obtained, account for gravity sag and alignment errors using appropriate transformations.
- Fit the data to the best parent parabola and calculate the ROC from this base prescription.

## Surface normal aberrations in parabolic surface

## Test setup for estimate of off-axis parabola’s ROC

- Axis crossing at ambient

- Axis crossing at cryo

- CC at ambient

- CC at cryo

- Violation of the Gottfried Sum Rule

- New Muon Collaboration (NMC) obtains

*S**G* = 0.235 ± 0.026

**( Significantly lower than 1/3 ! )**

## Explanations for the violation of Gottfried Sum Rule:

-  Uncertain extrapolation for 0.0 < x < 0.004
-    (Can be studied at EIC)
-  Nuclear effects for deuteron
-  Charge-symmetry breaking
-                          in the proton

- Need independent methods to check the
- asymmetry, and to measure its x-dependence !

## Summary

- W-production at RHIC provides unique information on the flavor asymmetry of unpolarized parton distributions.
- The connection between flavor and spin structure remains an interesting area to explore.
- W-production can disentangle the charge-symmetry violation effects from the sea-quark flavor asymmetry effect.
- More simulation studies are required.

##  Specific Features of Coalescence 

_**Baryon/Meson Systematics**_

##  Energy not conserved

-  Energy not conserved
-  No confinement constraint

**|M****qq->*****m*****|****2** depends only on the phase space weighted by wave function (npQCD also encoded in the quark masses , mq=0.3 GeV, ms=0.475 GeV)

- npQCD

## Coalescence:

_**Coalescence:**_

-  partons are already there
-   $ to be close in phase space $
-  ph= n pT ,, n = 2 , 3
-     baryons from lower momenta

*Even if  eventually ****Fragmentation**** **takes over ...*

- Parton spectrum

- B M

- Partonic Hydro behavior ⇒ higher pT in hadrons

## Distribution Function & Correlation

- We need a good transport theory/code, do we have it?

- Hhmmm!!!

**Distribution Function & Correlation**

- REALITY: one spectrum with correlation kept also at pT < 2 GeV

- Hadron from coalescence  may follow jet structure (away suppr.)
