Implementation of a depression screening tool in a primary- urgent care
Creators: name: George, Reny T.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose of Project: The purpose of this project was to identify depression in patients at a primary- urgent care setting through the implementation of the Patient Health Questionnaire -9 (PHQ-9), and to refer patients in need of behavioral health services. Methodology: This Quality Improvement project included 16 part-time clinicians working in a primary- urgent care center in northern New Jersey. They were invited to participate in an educational presentation, over a 2-week period, on the use of the PHQ-9 to screen for depression. The effectiveness of the training was measured with pre and post questionnaire surveys that evaluated their change in knowledge and attitude toward screening for depression. After all clinicians had completed the educational program, the implementation of the PHQ-9 began. Office staff provided the PHQ-9 to all adult patients 18 years of age and older as they were waiting to be seen by the healthcare provider. During the visit, the healthcare provider scored the PHQ-9 and discussed their concerns, if necessary, they referred the patients to behavioral health. A chart review was used to determine whether the PHQ-9 revealed more patients at risk for depression than prior to its use. Results: No significant change was found in the clinician’s knowledge or attitude towards depression after the educational presentation (n=8). Use of the PHQ-9 resulted in a significant increase in the number of patients identified as being at risk for depression. Implications: This practice change demonstrated the importance of screening patients for depression in a primary- urgent care site.

description: We considered the two-photon adiabatic rapid passage excitation of a single atom from the ground to a Rydberg state. Three schemes were analyzed: both pump and Stokes fields chirped and pulsed, only the pump field is chirped, and only the pump field is pulsed and chirped while the Stokes field is continuous wave (CW). In all three cases high transfer efficiencies $>99\%$ were achieved for the experimentally realizable Rabi frequencies and the pulse durations of the fields.

title: Secondary teachers' perceptions of Delivering Excellence and Equity in Scottish Education: A Delivery Plan for Scotland in an era of continuing curricular and assessment development
Creators: name: MacFarlane, Rona Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of a group of secondary teachers regarding the curricular reform policy, Delivering Excellence and Equity in Scottish Education: A Delivery Plan for Scotland (the Plan), which was introduced during an indefinite period of comprehensive change to the Scottish qualifications system. The changes to the qualifications system represented the final stages of the implementation of Curriculum for Excellence and impacted the Senior Phase, while the Delivery Plan impacted the earlier Broad General Education Phase. The catalyst for the reform policy was Scotland’s decline in ranking in Literacy, Mathematics and Science as measured by the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2015. The introduction of the Plan after the new qualifications seemed to increase teachers’ perceived pedagogical dilemmas and heighten existing tensions regarding the curriculum. This study was intended to support understanding of these tensions and curricular contradictions. Rarely, since the National Debate of 2002, has teacher voice been canvassed regarding curricular and assessment reform. This study sought to combine critical analysis of extracts from the reform policy with interviews conducted with a small group of secondary teachers to further comprehension of top-down policy solutions and systemic change. Stimulating the conversation regarding the future challenges facing the Curriculum for Excellence and how these challenges are understood provided the motivation for the study.

description: Recombination, the exchange of DNA between maternal and paternal chromosomes during meiosis, is an essential feature of sexual reproduction in nearly all multicellular organisms. While the role of recombination in the evolution of sex has received theoretical and empirical attention, less is known about how the recombination rate itself evolves and what influence this has on evolutionary processes within sexually reproducing organisms. Here, we explore the patterns of, and processes governing recombination in eukaryotes. We summarize patterns of variation, integrating current knowledge with analysis of linkage map data in 353 organisms. We then discuss proximate and ultimate processes governing recombination rate variation and consider how these influence evolutionary processes. Genome-wide recombination (cM/Mb) rates can vary more than tenfold across eukaryotes, and there is large variation in the distribution of recombination events across closely related taxa, populations and individuals. We discuss how variation in rate and distribution relates to genome architecture, genetic and epigenetic mechanisms, sex, environmental perturbations and variable selective pressures. There has been great progress in determining the molecular mechanisms governing recombination, and with the continued development of new modelling and empirical approaches, there is now also great opportunity to further our understanding of how and why the recombination rate varies.This article is part of the themed issue ‘Evolutionary causes and consequences of recombination rate variation in sexual organisms’.

The role of entanglement in calibrating optical quantum gyroscopes

Year: 2015

description: We consider the calibration of an optical quantum gyroscope by modeling two Sagnac interferometers, mounted approximately at right angles to each other. Reliable operation requires that we know the angle between the interferometers with high precision, and we show that a procedure akin to multi-position testing in inertial navigation systems can be generalized to the case of quantum interferometry. We find that while entanglement is a key resource within an individual Sagnac interferometer, its presence between the interferometers is a far more complicated story. The optimum level of entanglement depends strongly on the sought parameter values, and small but significant improvements may be gained from choosing states with the optimal amount of entanglement between the interferometers.

description: A central question for causal inference is to decide whether a set of correlations fits a given causal structure. In general, this decision problem is computationally infeasible and hence several approaches have emerged that look for certificates of compatibility. Here, we review several such approaches based on entropy. We bring together the key aspects of these entropic techniques with unified terminology, filling several gaps and establishing new connections, all illustrated with examples. We consider cases where unobserved causes are classical, quantum and post-quantum, and discuss what entropic analyses tell us about the difference. This difference has applications to quantum cryptography, where it can be crucial to eliminate the possibility of classical causes. We discuss the achievements and limitations of the entropic approach in comparison to other techniques and point out the main open problems.

Chemically modified electrodes for Electrocatalysis
Creators: name: Murray, Royce
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1980

description: At a modified electrode, electrocatalysis is accomplished by an
immobilized redox substance acting as an electron transfer mediator
between the electrode and a reaction substrate. Such mediated electrocatalysis
is possible with monomolecular and multimolecular layers of the
redox substance. The electron transfer mediation can assume several
special forms which are identified and experimental examples are given.
The differences between electrocatalytic behavior of ronomolecular
and multimolecular layers are discussed; electrocatalysis in the latter
circumstance can include reaction rate elements of electrochemical
charge and substrate migration through the multilayer in addition to the
chemical rate. Theoretical ideas are presented which interconnect
these three rate elements, to shot., that either all of the multilayer sites
can participate in the electrocatalytic reaction, or only ca. a
monolayer's worth, depending on the relative rates of the electrochemical
charge transport, the diffusion of substrate, and the chemical reaction
rate.
Search improvement via automatic query reformulation

description: Users of online retrieval systems experience many difficulties, particularly with search tactics.
User studies have indicated that searchers use vocabulary incorrectly and do not take full advantage
of iteration to improve their queries. To address these problems, an expert system for online
search assistance was developed. This prototype augments the searching capabilities of novice
users by providing automatic query reformulation to improve the search results, and automatic
ranking of the retrieved passages to speed the identification of relevant information. Users' search
performance using the expert system was compared with their search performance on their own,
and their search performance using an online thesaurus. The following conclusions were reached:
1) The expert system significantly reduced the number of queries necessary to find relevant
passages compared with the user searching alone or with the thesaurus. 2) The expert system
produced marginally significant improvements in precision compared with the user searching on
their own. There was no significant difference in the recall achieved by the three system
configurations. 3) Overall, the expert system ranked relevant passages above irrelevant passages.
Differentiation with stratification: a principle of theoretical physics in the tradition of the memory art
Creators: name: Pombo, Claudia
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: The Art of Memory started with Aristotle's questions on memory. During its long evolution, it had important contributions from alchemist, was transformed by Ramon Llull and apparently ended with Giordano Bruno, who was considered the best known representative of this art. This tradition did not disappear, but lives in the formulations of our modern scientific theories. From its initial form as a method of keeping information via associations, it became a principle of classification and structuring of knowledge. This principle, which we here name {\it differentiation with stratification}, is a structural design behind classical mechanics. Integrating two different traditions of science in one structure, this physical theory became the modern paradigm of science. In this paper, we show that this principle can also be formulated as a set of questions. This is done via an analysis of theories, based on the epistemology of observational realism. A combination of Rudolph Carnap's concept of theory as a system of observational and theoretical languages, with a criterion for separating observational languages, based on analytical psychology, shapes this epistemology. The `nuclear' role of the observational laws and the differentiations from these nucleus, reproducing the general cases of phenomena, reveals the memory art's heritage in the theories. Here in this paper we argue that this design is also present in special relativity and in quantum mechanics.

description: File system virtual appliances (FSVAs) address the portability headaches that plague file system (FS) developers. By
packaging their FS implementation in a VM, separate from the VM that runs user applications, they can avoid the
need to port the file system to each OS and OS version. A small FS-agnostic proxy, maintained by the core OS
developers, connects the FSVA to whatever OS the user chooses. This paper describes an FSVA design that maintains
FS semantics for unmodied FS implementations and provides desired OS and virtualization features, such as a
unified buffer cache and VM migration. Evaluation of prototype FSVA implementations in Linux and NetBSD, using
Xen as the VMM, demonstrates that the FSVA architecture is efficient, FS-agnostic, and able to insulate file system
implementations from OS differences that would otherwise require explicit porting.

Subjects: subject: Denture, denture cleaner, denture cleanser, denture hygiene, frequency.

description: Optimal denture hygiene is key in the prosthesis wearing patient-population to avoid potentially harmful effects of pathogenic microorganisms that colonise the denture surface. Regular and effective cleaning of a denture is, therefore, believed to be essential for maintenance of healthy oral tissues. However, there is insufficient evidence to establish the most effective denture cleaning regimen. The aim of this method development randomised controlled crossover clinical trial was to examine the effect of frequency of use of a denture cleanser on the microbial, clinical and patient-reported outcome measures of denture cleanliness. Its purpose was to establish an initial evidence base that would inform future larger scale studies in this area. Nineteen patients were randomised and completed both seven-day treatment periods of the study. Clinical assessments, microbiological sampling and patient questionnaires were completed at selected time points to allow comparison between groups. A further in vitro study analysed the impact of different sampling methodologies on the number of microbes retrieved, to inform clinical protocols for future studies. The results demonstrated that an increased frequency of use of a denture cleanser resulted in improved clinical and microbiological outcomes for denture cleanliness. These data can be used to adequately power future studies to confirm the findings of this initial study. The observation of the importance of moisture level at the sampling site will inform development of protocols for optimal sampling of denture plaque in future studies.

description: Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [1, 2] have dimensions similar to those of typical polymeric
chains, with 1-50nm in diameter and 1-10μm in length. Experimental results on individual carbon
nanotubes and nanotube bundles show that they have exceptional electrical and mechanical
properties with an elastic modulus of ~1TPa and fracture strain of 5-10%. [3] The thermal
conductivity of the nanotubes is expected to be higher than that of the carbon fibers because of their
structural perfection. As a result there are considerable interests in utilization of CNTs as fillers for
thermal management and structural reinforcement. Although there have been several published
studies on polymer-CNT composites [4-9], realization of the expected enhancement in properties,
especially mechanical properties, has by and large not been demonstrated. This is in part because of
the difficulties in materials processing arising from insolubility of the pristine CNTs.

description: We present new wide-field photometry and spectroscopy of the globular clusters (GCs) around NGC 4649 (M60), the third brightest galaxy in the Virgo cluster. Imaging of NGC 4649 was assembled from a recently-obtained HST/ACS mosaic, and new Subaru/Suprime-Cam and archival CFHT/MegaCam data. About 1200 sources were followed up spectroscopically using combined observations from three multi-object spectrographs: Keck/DEIMOS, Gemini/GMOS and MMT/Hectospec. We confirm 431 unique GCs belonging to NGC 4649, a factor of 3.5 larger than previous datasets and with a factor of 3 improvement in velocity precision. We confirm significant GC colour bimodality and find that the red GCs are more centrally concentrated, while the blue GCs are more spatially extended. We infer negative GC colour gradients in the innermost 20 kpc and flat gradients out to large radii. Rotation is detected along the galaxy major axis for all tracers: blue GCs, red GCs, galaxy stars and planetary nebulae. We compare the observed properties of NGC 4649 with galaxy formation models. We find that formation via a major merger between two gas-poor galaxies, followed by satellite accretion, can consistently reproduce the observations of NGC 4649 at different radii. We find no strong evidence to support an interaction between NGC 4649 and the neighbouring spiral galaxy NGC 4647. We identify interesting GC kinematic features in our data, such as counter-rotating subgroups and bumpy kinematic profiles, which encode more clues about the formation history of NGC 4649.

description: We consider the simulation of steady-state variably saturated groundwater flow using Richards' equation (RE). The difficulties associated with solving RE numerically
are well known. Most discretization approaches for RE lead to nonlinear systems
that are large and difficult to solve. The solution of nonlinear systems for steady-
state problems can be particularly challenging, since a good initial guess for the
steady-state solution is often hard to obtain, and the resulting linear systems may
be poorly scaled. Common approaches like Picard iteration or variations of Newton's method have their advantages but perform poorly with standard globalization
techniques under certain conditions.
Pseudo-transient continuation has been used in computational fluid dynamics for some time to obtain steady-state solutions for problems in which Newton's method
with standard line-search strategies fails. It combines aspects of backward Euler time
integration and Newton's method to select intermediate estimates of the steady-state solution. Here, we examine the use of pseudo-transient continuation as well as
Newton's method combined with standard globalization techniques for steady-state
problems in heterogeneous domains. We investigate the methods' performance with
direct and preconditioned Krylov iterative linear solvers. We then make recommendations for robust and efficient approaches to obtain steady-state solutions for RE
under a range of conditions.
Software Design and the PATH Preprocessor

description: PATH is a nonsmooth Newton method for solving nonlinear complementarity problems, which have many applications in economics and engineering. This general-purpose code is capable of solving problem instances generated by non-expert users within algebraic modeling languages, such as AMPL and GAMS. To improve reliability on difficult problems, many algorithmic enhancements have been incorporated into the code. One key enhancement is the preprocessor that automatically applies a series of reductions to a given problem to produce a more compact problem that is usually easier to solve. The preprocessor implementation, however, is complex and accounts for roughly 25\% of the entire PATH code. The software design process for the PATH preprocessor is described in this report, which starts from a mathematical analysis that identifies the reductions that can be applied to generic problems, the reductions then dictate the requirements for data structures and algorithms, and an extensible implementation follows. A discussion of the limitations in the reductions that can be easily implemented and the difficulty of designing a comprehensive testing plan due to the software design choices is provided. While the implementation of the PATH preprocessor satisfies the requirements and is functional, greater emphasis on extensibility, testability, and maintainbility during the software design might have helped to lessen these limitations.

description: We consider an Eulerian-Lagrangian localized adjoint method (ELLAM) applied
to nonlinear model equations governing solute transport and sorption in porous
media. Solute transport in the aqueous phase is modeled by standard advection and
hydrodynamic dispersion processes, while sorption is modeled with a nonlinear local
equilibrium model. We present our implementation of finite volume ELLAM (FV-
ELLAM) and finite element (FE-ELLAM) discretizations to the reactive transport
model and evaluate their performance for several test problems containing self-
sharpening fronts.
Gaining a better perspective of endocrinologists' current utilization of genetic counselors for both cisgender and transgender patients
Creators: name: Burns, Madison Cauldwell

description: The role of a genetic counselor (GC) is becoming more essential in healthcare, as the field of genetics continues to rapidly grow. In the transgender healthcare realm, endocrinologists have an important role in their care by directing the use of effective gender-affirming treatments. There are aspects of GCs that can be beneficial to an endocrinology appointment. Communication between the two specialties is a critical part of providing every patient a well-rounded health care experience. This study aimed to better characterize the current practices of endocrinologist as it relates to genetic counseling and testing in an effort to identify opportunities to maximize a collaborative working relationship between the two specialties. This study was able to identify specific barriers between the specialties and areas of improvement. These include education surrounding indications for referral to GCs for hereditary cancer risk assessments, regardless of gender; increasing access to GCs; and managing financial aspects, such as co-pays associated with genetic counseling appointments and genetic testing costs. To our knowledge, there have be no other studies performed that investigate the utilization of GCs and genetic testing within the endocrinology setting. Our findings suggest an underutilization of GCs and therefore a need for future interventions to increase a collaborative working relationship between these two specialties.

description: Vinylferrocene can be polymerized in a radiofrequency Ar plasma to deposit
in thin, adherent films on qlassy carbon and Pt electrodes. In acetonitrile
solvent containinig tetraethylammonium perchlorate or tetrafluoroborate electrolyte,
these films exhibit electrochemical reactivity qualitatively expectable
for polyvinylferrocene films although analytical information on film composition
shows some plasma damage and some oxygen incorporation has taken place. The
relationship of observed electrochemistry to plasma reaction time and geometry
is described, Quantities of electroactive ferrocene in the prepared films ranqe
from 0.5 - 300 x 10-10 mole/cm.2 . The thinner films exhibit non-limiting
transport of electrochemical charge, while a thick film gives a diffusion controlled
response.

description: Coordination of [IrCl5 (acetonato)) 2- in acetone/methylene chloride
to a film of vinylpyridine RF plasma polymerized on a carbon electrode
results in an electrode surface wave at +0,40 volt vs. S.C.E. in 1 M
H2SO4 . This potential is more negative than expected for -PylrCl5
2-
coordination. Charge transport in the film is very fast and the film
catalyzes the oxidation of ascorbic acid at a diffusion controlled rate.
The film electrochemistry is sensitive to the choice of supporting electrolyte
cation but not anion.

description: A central question for causal inference is to decide whether a set of correlations fits a given causal structure. In general, this decision problem is computationally infeasible and hence several approaches have emerged that look for certificates of compatibility. Here, we review several such approaches based on entropy. We bring together the key aspects of these entropic techniques with unified terminology, filling several gaps and establishing new connections, all illustrated with examples. We consider cases where unobserved causes are classical, quantum and post-quantum, and discuss what entropic analyses tell us about the difference. This difference has applications to quantum cryptography, where it can be crucial to eliminate the possibility of classical causes. We discuss the achievements and limitations of the entropic approach in comparison to other techniques and point out the main open problems.

description: Size effect is defined as strength dependence on size at a tensile test of a single crystal. The only geometric factor influences the effect is considered in this paper. Geometric factor includes two characters: specimen round cross-section and micron-sized diameter. The rest of the factors were not considered. Analysis of an equivalent model was fulfilled. It was revealed that the overcome of average specimen resistance leads to plastic changes, the elastic limit stress is inversely proportional to the specimen diameter. This conclusion is in good accordance with several experimental works relates to single crystal strength.
