description: It is well overdue to confront the three main ill-advised measurements that perpetuate persistent discrimination in legal academia: bias, conformity, and rumor. When proxies for quality are measured by benchmarks of innuendo, it does a disservice to the legal academy, the individual faculty, the student body, and the legal profession that is shaped by that culture and set of practices. Furthermore, what is valued as noteworthy contributions to service, teaching, and scholarship remains a rigged and biased system of evaluation that is detrimental to the educational process. Finally, conformity to the majority may also operate as a disservice by marginalizing divergent voices in a way that is harmful to academic freedom and the intellectual robustness of the academy. When non-conformity is admirable in raising student awareness or introducing alternative effective models of pedagogy or perspective, it should be rewarded rather than penalized. Yet penalization is too often precisely what happens, and many in legal academia are caught in a perfect storm trifecta of bias, rumor, and the sanctions imposed for non-conformity. The machinery of maligning rumor, once initiated, is difficult to cease or reverse course. How much of one’s reputation lies in the hands of close friends in a close-knit, so-called “old buddy” network, in the criticism of avowed colleagues or students with an axe to grind, or in institutional affiliation is quite disturbing, and even more so when it indelibly shapes decisions of appointment, tenure, promotion, retention, recognition, and pedagogy. Rumor is processed as truth—spread, repeated, perpetuated, and never questioned.

Similar calculations for Ba are also done and they are in a good agreement with the experimental data. Dissociation energies of diatomic X-H and X-Au molecules, where X=E120, Ba, are calculated; for E120 they are found to be $1.5\div2$ times smaller than those for Ba.
On Stability of the Electroweak Vacuum and the Higgs Portal

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In the Standard Model (SM), the Higgs mass around 125 GeV implies that the electroweak vacuum is metastable since the quartic Higgs coupling turns negative at high energies. I point out that a tiny mixing of the Higgs with a heavy singlet can make the electroweak vacuum completely stable. This is due to a tree level correction to the Higgs mass-coupling relation, which survives in the zero-mixing/heavy-singlet limit. Such a situation is experimentally indistinguishable from the SM, unless the Higgs self-coupling can be measured. As a result, Higgs inflation and its variants can still be viable.

description: Background

In vivo efficacy assessments of antimalarials are essential for ensuring effective case management. In Ethiopia, chloroquine (CQ) without primaquine is the first-line treatment for Plasmodium vivax in malarious areas, but artemether-lumefantrine (AL) is also commonly used.

Methods and Findings

In 2009, we conducted a 42-day efficacy study of AL or CQ for P. vivax in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. Individuals with P. vivax monoinfection were enrolled. Primary endpoint was day 28 cure rate. In patients with recurrent parasitemia, drug level and genotyping using microsatellite markers were assessed. Using survival analysis, uncorrected patient cure rates at day 28 were 75.7% (95% confidence interval (CI) 66.8–82.5) for AL and 90.8% (95% CI 83.6–94.9) for CQ. During the 42 days of follow-up, 41.6% (47/113) of patients in the AL arm and 31.8% (34/107) in the CQ arm presented with recurrent P. vivax infection, with the median number of days to recurrence of 28 compared to 35 days in the AL and CQ arm, respectively. Using microsatellite markers to reclassify recurrent parasitemias with a different genotype as non-treatment failures, day 28 cure rates were genotype adjusted to 91.1% (95% CI 84.1–95.1) for AL and to 97.2% (91.6–99.1) for CQ. Three patients (2.8%) with recurrent parasitemia by day 28 in the CQ arm were noted to have drug levels above 100 ng/ml.

Conclusions

In the short term, both AL and CQ were effective and well-tolerated for P. vivax malaria, but high rates of recurrent parasitemia were noted with both drugs. CQ provided longer post-treatment prophylaxis than AL, resulting in delayed recurrence of parasitemia. Although the current policy of species-specific treatment can be maintained for Ethiopia, the co-administration of primaquine for treatment of P. vivax malaria needs to be urgently considered to prevent relapse infections.

description: Background

There are no analyses of citations to books on epidemiological and statistical methods in the biomedical literature. Such analyses may shed light on how concepts and methods changed while biomedical research evolved. Our aim was to analyze the number and time trends of citations received from biomedical articles by books on epidemiological and statistical methods, and related disciplines.

Methods and Findings

The data source was the Web of Science. The study books were published between 1957 and 2010. The first year of publication of the citing articles was 1945. We identified 125 books that received at least 25 citations. Books first published in 1980–1989 had the highest total and median number of citations per year. Nine of the 10 most cited texts focused on statistical methods. Hosmer and Lemeshow's Applied logistic regression received the highest number of citations and highest average annual rate. It was followed by books by Fleiss, Armitage, et al., Rothman, et al., and Kalbfleisch and Prentice. Fifth in citations per year was Sackett, et al., Evidence-based medicine. The rise of multivariate methods, clinical epidemiology, or nutritional epidemiology was reflected in the citation trends. Educational textbooks, practice-oriented books, books on epidemiological substantive knowledge, and on theory and health policies were much less cited. None of the 25 top-cited books had the theoretical or sociopolitical scope of works by Cochrane, McKeown, Rose, or Morris.

Conclusions

Books were mainly cited to reference methods. Books first published in the 1980s continue to be most influential. Older books on theory and policies were rooted in societal and general medical concerns, while the most modern books are almost purely on methods.

description: Subject to strong experimental constraints at low energies, baryon number violation is nonetheless well motivated from a theoretical point of view. We examine the possibility of observing baryon-number-violating top-quark production or decay at hadron colliders. We adopt a model independent effective approach and focus on operators with minimal mass-dimension. Corresponding effective coefficients could be directly probed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) already with an integrated luminosity of 1 inverse femtobarn at 7 TeV, and further constrained with 30 (100) inverse femtobarns at 7 (14) TeV.

description: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths annually. As with most cancers, it is a heterogeneous disease and different breast cancer subtypes are treated differently. Understanding the difference in prognosis for breast cancer based on its molecular and phenotypic features is one avenue for improving treatment by matching the proper treatment with molecular subtypes of the disease. In this work, we employed a competition-based approach to modeling breast cancer prognosis using large datasets containing genomic and clinical information and an online real-time leaderboard program used to speed feedback to the modeling team and to encourage each modeler to work towards achieving a higher ranked submission. We find that machine learning methods combined with molecular features selected based on expert prior knowledge can improve survival predictions compared to current best-in-class methodologies and that ensemble models trained across multiple user submissions systematically outperform individual models within the ensemble. We also find that model scores are highly consistent across multiple independent evaluations. This study serves as the pilot phase of a much larger competition open to the whole research community, with the goal of understanding general strategies for model optimization using clinical and molecular profiling data and providing an objective, transparent system for assessing prognostic models.

description: We consider the vector and scalar form factors of the charm-changing current responsible for the semileptonic decay D\rightarrow πl ν. Using as input dispersion relations and unitarity for the moments of suitable heavy-light correlators evaluated with Operator Product Expansions, including O(α_s^2) terms in perturbative QCD, we constrain the shape parameters of the form factors and find exclusion regions for zeros on the real axis and in the complex plane. For the scalar form factor, a low energy theorem and phase information on the unitarity cut are also implemented to further constrain the shape parameters. We finally propose new analytic expressions for the $Dπ$ form factors, derive constraints on the relevant coefficients from unitarity and analyticity, and briefly discuss the usefulness of the new parametrizations for describing semileptonic data.

If knowledge is power, then big data rules: who resists the analytics revolution and what limits organizational performance?

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Big data has been widely recognized as a critical source of competitive advantage (Manyika, Chui, Brown, Bughin, Dobbs, Roxburgh and Byers 2011). Studies show that big data-driven decisions lead to 5 to 6 percent increase in profitability (Barton and Court 2012; Brown, Chui and Manyika 2011; McAfee, Brynjolfsson, Davenport, Patil and Barton 2012). Therefore,“knowledge is power” in the sense that big data analytics provide the insights to increase organizational performance. However, few studies show how to motivate employees to become data driven and how organizations achieve excellent data analytics performance.
 This research comprises three studies. Study 1 examines how organizational contexts and analytics attributes interact and affect analytics adoption behaviors. Data were obtained from 337 big data marketing professionals. Findings show that contextual factors (i.e.centralization and politics) have varying impacts on the relationships between individuals’ acceptance of big data and big data attributes. Specifically, intentions to adopt big data during the pre-adoption period were contingent on contextual factors, whereas the actual usage was dependent on individuals’ assessments of big data, rather than organizational contexts.
 Study 2 takes a social perspective to examine how relationships with big data consulting firms affect three sequential steps of big data innovation process (i.e. adoption, diffusion and implementation). Questionnaires were obtained from 188 potential adopters and 149 big data users. Results show that social capital from consulting firms have insignificant effects on individuals’ intentions to adopt big data but have facilitating effects on individuals’ intentions to use and even stronger effects on actual usage of big data. That is, consultants primarily support the technical execution of big data analytics, rather than a firm’s decision to adopt the big data approach in the first place.
 The purpose of Study 3 is to address how to achieve high-level of big data performance.This study establishes a strategy-execution-performance framework and tests this framework with a unique dataset, which includes matched pairs containing 200 internal assessments from employees of 16 organizations and 78 external assessments of performance from 15 big data consultants. Results show that 55 percent variance of big data performance is explained by execution process variables. Results also indicate that execution process is significantly correlated with organizational strategic responsiveness.
 The findings contribute to the theory development on data analytics, and to analytics practice, where leaders seek to transform and motivate employees to become data-driven, and to improve data analytics performance.

description: We investigate the behavior of an $N$-component quantum rotor coupled to a bosonic dissipative bath having a sub-Ohmic spectral density $J(ω) \propto ω^s$ with $s<1$. With increasing dissipation strength, this system undergoes a quantum phase transition from a delocalized phase to a localized phase. We determine the exact critical behavior of this transition in the large-$N$ limit. For $1>s>1/2$, we find nontrivial critical behavior corresponding to an interacting renormalization group fixed point while we find mean-field behavior for $s<1/2$. The results agree with those of the corresponding long-range interacting classical model. The quantum-to-classical mapping is therefore valid for the sub-Ohmic rotor model.

Development of a laboratory scale procedure for predicting throughput of high pressure grinding rolls
Creators: name: Nadolski, Stefan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The throughput capability of a high pressure grinding roll (HPGR), a critical process parameter, has been found to heavily depend on the sample type being processed. Existing HPGR test methods require the use of pilot machines and large sample quantities to assess the throughput characteristics of a certain ore type. Addressing the need for a laboratory scale HPGR test, a laboratory procedure was proposed to assess the throughput capability of mineral samples. Existing procedures were adopted from the fields of terramechanics and soil mechanics, and used as a basis for predictive HPGR throughput models. The applicability of the proposed tests was assessed through the comparison of predicted throughput with observed values from pilot HPGR testing. Results showed that outcomes of the proposed laboratory scale tests were statistically significant when used for the prediction of HPGR throughput. Primarily, the frictional properties of feed samples, as characterized by a direct shear box test, were found to be of particular significance. An approach to modelling the pressure profile which occurs on the HPGR roller surface was also proposed for potential use in a force-based model. Based on the results, an approach to HPGR testing requiring a reduced amount of sample was presented. Further work on characterizing the frictional properties of mineral samples was recommended. Analysis of HPGR outcomes indicated that strong relationships exist between power, throughput and roll gap, hence holistic approaches to HPGR modelling may be most appropriate for future predictive models.

description: We present a full phase diagram for the one-dimensional (1D) to three-dimensional (3D) crossover of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state in an attractive Hubbard model of 3D-coupled chains in a har- monic trap. We employ real-space dynamical mean-field theory which describes full local quantum fluctuations beyond the usual mean-field and local density approximation. We find strong dimensionality effects on the shell structure undergoing a crossover between distinctive quasi-1D and quasi-3D regimes. We predict an optimal regime for the FFLO state that is considerably extended to intermediate interchain couplings and polarizations, directly realizable with ultracold atomic gases. We find that the 1D-like FFLO feature is vulnerable to thermal fluctuations, while the FFLO state of mixed 1D-3D character can be stabilized at a higher temperature.

description: Objective

Rectal microbicides are needed to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition associated with unprotected receptive anal intercourse. The MTN-007 study was designed to assess the safety (general and mucosal), adherence, and acceptability of a new reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir 1% gel.

Methods

Participants were randomized 1∶1:1∶1 to receive the reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir 1% gel, a hydroxyethyl cellulose placebo gel, a 2% nonoxynol-9 gel, or no treatment. Each gel was administered as a single dose followed by 7 daily doses. Mucosal safety evaluation included histology, fecal calprotectin, epithelial sloughing, cytokine expression (mRNA and protein), microarrays, flow cytometry of mucosal T cell phenotype, and rectal microflora. Acceptability and adherence were determined by computer-administered questionnaires and interactive telephone response, respectively.

Results

Sixty-five participants (45 men and 20 women) were recruited into the study. There were no significant differences between the numbers of ≥ Grade 2 adverse events across the arms of the study. Likelihood of future product use (acceptability) was 87% (reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir 1% gel), 93% (hydroxyethyl cellulose placebo gel), and 63% (nonoxynol-9 gel). Fecal calprotectin, rectal microflora, and epithelial sloughing did not differ by treatment arms during the study. Suggestive evidence of differences was seen in histology, mucosal gene expression, protein expression, and T cell phenotype. These changes were mostly confined to comparisons between the nonoxynol-9 gel and other study arms.

Conclusions

The reduced glycerin formulation of tenofovir 1% gel was safe and well tolerated rectally and should be advanced to Phase 2 development.

description: "Store-Operated Calcium Entry (SOCE) is a Ca2+ signal pathway that consists in the ability of cells to sense a decrease in endoplasmic reticulum luminal Ca2+ and induce Ca2+ entry across the plasma membrane. It relies on two key players: STIM proteins and ORAI channels. Lines of evidence reported Ca2+ homeostasis dysregulation and a crucial role of SOCE mechanism in the pathophysiology of rare muscular disorders (e.g., myopathies and dystrophies) as well as autoimmune diseases, thus making SOCE as a novel therapeutic target in these conditions. In this perspective, a copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition-based medicinal chemistry campaign led to the discovery of CIC-39, a negative modulator of SOCE, as the lead compound endowed with high selectivity over other Ca2+-permeable channels, a good pharmacokinetic profile and an excellent safety profile. Based on its efficacy in models of Tubular Aggregate Myopathy (TAM) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), CIC-39 has received two orphan designations and is now being preclinically developed through a collaborative project between academia and industry. So far, the in vivo efficacy of CIC-39 has been demonstrated in adult mice using intraperitoneal minipumps. However, this delivery strategy is not feasible in younger animals, where early treatment is crucial due to the genetic nature of TAM and DMD. To address this issue, we developed a library of prodrugs as injectable oil depot formulations for SC administration. We identified prodrug 3 as the best compound in terms of hydrolytic stability in mouse plasma and log P value, as well as solubility in the selected oil-based vehicle. In view of the in vivo testing, we have planned a PK study of compound 3 in 2-week-old wild-type mice."

description: Let $X$ be a space. A space $Y$ is called an extension of $X$ if $Y$ contains $X$ as a dense subspace. For an extension $Y$ of $X$ the subspace $Y\backslash X$ of $Y$ is called the remainder of $Y$. Two extensions of $X$ are said to be equivalent if there is a homeomorphism between them which fixes $X$ pointwise. For two (equivalence classes of) extensions $Y$ and $Y'$ of $X$ let $Y\leq Y'$ if there is a continuous mapping of $Y'$ into $Y$ which fixes $X$ pointwise. Let $P$ be a topological property. An extension $Y$ of $X$ is called a $P$-extension of $X$ if it has $P$. If $P$ is compactness then $P$-extensions are called ompactifications. The aim of this article is to introduce and study classes of extensions (which we call compactification-like $P$-extensions, where $P$ is a topological property subject to some mild requirements) which resemble the classes of compactifications of locally compact spaces. We formally define compactification-like $P$-extensions and derive some of their basic properties, and in the case when the remainders are countable, we characterize spaces having such extensions. We will then consider the classes of compactification-like $P$-extensions as partially ordered sets. This consideration leads to some interesting results which characterize compactification-like $P$-extensions of a space among all its Tychonoff $P$-extensions with compact remainder. Furthermore, we study the relations between the order-structure of classes of compactification-like $P$-extensions of a Tychonoff space $X$ and the topology of a certain subspace of its outgrowth $βX\backslash X$. We conclude with some applications, including an answer to an old question of S. Mrówka and J.H.

The R_h=ct Universe Without Inflation

description: The horizon problem in the standard model of cosmology (LDCM) arises from the observed uniformity of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which has the same temperature everywhere (except for tiny, stochastic fluctuations), even in regions on opposite sides of the sky, which appear to lie outside of each other's causal horizon. Since no physical process propagating at or below lightspeed could have brought them into thermal equilibrium, it appears that the universe in its infancy required highly improbable initial conditions. In this paper, we examine this well-known problem by considering photon propagation through a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime at a more fundamental level than has been attempted before, demonstrating that the horizon problem only emerges for a subset of FRW cosmologies, such as LCDM, that include an early phase of rapid deceleration. We show that the horizon problem is nonexistent for the recently introduced R_h=ct universe, obviating the principal motivation for the inclusion of inflation. We demonstrate through direct calculation that, in the R_h=ct universe, even opposite sides of the cosmos have remained causally connected to us - and to each other - from the very first moments in the universe's expansion. Therefore, within the context of the R_h=ct universe, the hypothesized inflationary epoch from t=10^{-35} seconds to 10^{-32} seconds was not needed to fix this particular "problem", though it may still provide benefits to cosmology for other reasons.

Variability and language learning disabilities: An information processing perspective
Creators: name: Lahey, Margaret
name: Bloom, Lois
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1994
Subjects: Cognition in children
Learning disabilities
Language acquisition
Developmental psychology

description: Efforts to understand language learning disabilities have generally used information processing as a theoretical orientation. However, it is often difficult to identify which aspects of information processing cause problems in learning language. In addition, information processing approaches are often unable to account for either the variability in the performance of an individual child, or variability among children from similar cultural and linguistic backgrounds. In this chapter, we focus first on the concept of a limited capacity processor as a paradigm for understanding some of the variation observed within and among children. Identifying factors that compete for a child’s limited processing abilities can help to clarify goals and determine intervention procedures in the face of variable performance. Second, we suggest that an important component of language processing is the child’s ability to construct and hold in mind the momentary mental representations that underlie language expression and interpretation. Such representations are constructed for interpretation and expression by integrating information from the immediate context with information accessed from memory, using language and other contextual cues. As obvious as these points might seem, they are rarely considered in efforts to understand a child’s difficulty learning language and variability in language performance. The purpose of this chapter is to show how the concept of a limited capacity processor together with understanding the importance of the role constructing such mental representations can contribute to assessment and planning intervention for children with language learning disabilities.

Talking, understanding, and thinking: Developmental relationship between receptive and expressive language
Creators: name: Bloom, Lois
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1974
Subjects: Cognition in children
Language acquisition
Developmental psychology

description: The purpose of this chapter was to explore the relation between comprehension and expression, and the relation of each to children’s cognition in early language development. A problem in evaluating comprehension is that a child’s response can be multidetermined—what children do in responding to what others say depends on many things in addition to what they hear. In contrast, child speech can be recorded, reported, and described. There has also been an unfortunate tendency to take comprehension for granted in the prevailing view that comprehension precedes expression in development. The purpose of this chapter, in 1974, was to explore the factors that contribute to understanding messages, how such factors relate to producing messages, and the relation of each to developments in both language and cognition.
Conductance of non-interacting two-dimensional junctions of three quantum wires : general behaviors and Fano resonance
Creators: name: Shi, Zheng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Junctions of three quantum wires, or "Y junctions", are among the basic building blocks of circuits of quantum wires. In most previous work the wires are modeled as one-dimensional objects. A step towards reality takes into account their finite width. In this thesis, we study non-interacting two-dimensional Y junctions in the single-channel regime. The generic behaviors of zero-temperature conductance of two different types of Y junctions are discussed. Particular attention is given to the asymmetric line shapes, or Fano resonances, arising in the problem.
Tracing the Alphabet in Psycharis’s Journey

description: Yannis Psycharis left a large legacy of novels, scholarly essays, and personal lore in French and Greek. I will focus on his book My Journey, with some reference to his lecture "The Kiss" (1893), because it offers a window onto how Psycharis's experience as a writer of the Diaspora affects his views on language. Psycharis's My Journey, half literary travelogue, half diatribe, is most often read for its contribution to the "struggle" or "idea," to make demotic the national language of Greece, and by doing so give Greece her rightful place in Modern Europe. This is how Psycharis himself understood his project. Psycharis and the majority of critics who have written about his work view My Journey as national literature, not Diaspora literature, or, for that matter, a contribution to linguistics or translation theory. As we will see, however, this canonical text of monolingualism in the name of nation-building actually deals with many different forms of Greek as well as French, German, Italian, and Turkish and can be read as offering a vision of the Greek language as irremediably diasporic and multilingual. A closer look at how words are moved from one language or form of language to another in this text shows that translation, transliteration, etymology, and loan words are not just practical conventions in his writing, but conceptual models for grappling with cultural displacement. Along side the message of transparency and perfect substitution suggested by his oft-quoted aphorism "language and nation are one and the same," another tale of diasporic and linguistic disorientation unfolds.

All-Versus-Nothing Proof of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering

description: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering is a form of quantum nonlocality intermediate between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. Although Schrödinger already mooted the idea in 1935, steering still defies a complete understanding. In analogy to "all-versus-nothing" proofs of Bell nonlocality, here we present a proof of steering without inequalities rendering the detection of correlations leading to a violation of steering inequalities unnecessary. We show that, given any two-qubit entangled state, the existence of certain projective measurement by Alice so that Bob's normalized conditional states can be regarded as two different pure states provides a criterion for Alice-to-Bob steerability. A steering inequality equivalent to the all-versus-nothing proof is also obtained. Our result clearly demonstrates that there exist many quantum states which do not violate any previously known steering inequality but are indeed steerable. Our method offers advantages over the existing methods for experimentally testing steerability, and sheds new light on the asymmetric steering problem.

title: Disaster Preparedness & Response: A Survey of U.S. Dental Hygienists
Creators: name: Bradshaw, Brenda Tallon
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine dental hygienists' interests, formal education, views, comfort levels, and intentions for becoming involved in disaster preparedness and response as measured by a 21-item survey entitled "Victim Identification for Disaster Preparedness & Response: A Survey of Dental Hygienists". Methods: A nonprobability convenience sample (n=400) was recruited for an online survey. Data was analyzed for statistical significance using descriptive statistics, chisquare goodness-of-fit tests, a Mann-Whitney U test, and a paired-samples t-test. Similar themes were identified and categorized from open-ended questions. Results: A response rate of 83.5% (n=334) was attained. Regardless of years of work experience, 85.6% of respondents were significantly interested in disaster preparedness and response, and the majority (91.6%) of those who indicated interest have intentions for becoming involved. A significant number of respondents (92.8%) denied receiving formal education in disaster preparedness and response, yet an overwhelming 94.9% shared the view that dental hygienists could have a vital role in this specialty area. When dental hygienists were questioned about comfort levels with disaster victim identification (DVI) activities, there was a 9% mean increase in perceived comfort levels for activities involving no contact with human remains when compared to activities requiring contact. Still, most respondents indicated perceived comfort with DVI activities requiring physical contact such as: taking photographs (76.2%, n=254), taking radiographs (83%, n=273), resecting the mandible (55.1 %, n=184), and cleaning skeletonized remains (66.8%, n=221). Conclusion: Dental hygienists are interested in disaster preparedness and response and have a desire to be involved. Despite a lack of formal education on this topic, dental hygienists view themselves as professionals who could have a vital role in this specialty area and they are comfortable with DVI related tasks. Since disaster preparedness and response training is critical to best provide assistance in MFI response, inclusion of this topic should be available in the dental hygiene community. Collaborations with expert disaster preparedness and response organizations should be considered and competencies are needed to create educational opportunities for dental hygienists who choose to serve their communities.
