Psychological Effects of Disasters on Children: Hurricane Katrina and Child Survivors in New Orleans
Creators: name: James, Christina
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2007

description: In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina fell on the Gulf Coast, resulting in unprecedented, long-term mental health needs of hurricane survivors. Child survivors are especially vulnerable following a disaster; it is therefore crucial that mental health providers understand and utilize effective interventions to address the psychological impacts of disasters on children. This article examines the psychological impacts of disasters on child survivors, exploring factors that increase a child’s vulnerability to psychological distress and presenting an evidence-based intervention for child survivors of Hurricane Katrina. The author uses case examples from a New Orleans agency that serves survivors of Hurricane Katrina.

description: We investigate the constraints that the LHC can set on a 126 GeV Higgs boson that is an admixture of CP eigenstates. Traditional analyses rely on Higgs couplings to massive vector bosons, which are suppressed for CP-odd couplings, so that these analyses have limited sensitivity. Instead we focus on Higgs production in gluon fusion, which occurs at the same order in the strong coupling for both CP-even and -odd couplings. We study the Higgs plus two jet final state followed by Higgs decay into a pair of tau leptons. We show that using the 8 TeV dataset it is possible to rule out the pure CP-odd hypothesis in this channel alone at nearly 95\% C.L, assuming that the Higgs is CP-even. We also provide projected limits for the 14 TeV LHC run.

description: Metal-Cd0.42Te0.58-metal nanowires were electrodeposited into the pores of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes, and the polarization sensitive photoconductance was analyzed for individual nanostructures. Non-linear I–V curves were observed, and the short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage, and fill factor were determined. These nanowires exhibited a power conversion efficiency of 0.56%, which is higher than some comparable nanomaterials of greater complexity.

description: Many patients present with Vitamin D (Vit d; 25 (OH) D) deficiency on admission to hospital. The present study evaluated the levels of serum concentration of 25 (OH) D in patients undergoing elective arthroplasty of the hip and knee and in patients with proximal femur fracture. A total of 90 patients of both sex were recruited, 20 with osteoarthritis of the knee, 29 with osteoarthritis of the hip, and 41 with a hip fracture. The levels of Vit D were measured twice: on admission and on the fourth day after surgery. In patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, the levels of Vit D were 16.85 ng/ml in the preoperative and 18.235 ng/ml in the postoperative period. In patients undergoing hip arthroplasty, we found levels <4.20 ng/ml for men, while in women 25.20 ng/ml pre-operatively and 22.8 ng/ml post-operatively. In patients with a hip fracture, men progressed from very low levels preoperatively (6.38 ng/ml) with post-operative levels of 18.44 ng /ml. Women exhibited a slight improvement from 12.24 ng/ml pre-operatively to 17.9 ng/ml postoperatively. Patients who are candidates for hip and knee arthroplasty and in hip fracture patients exhibit low Vit D levels. The activation of the inflammatory cascade may induce reduction of Vit D levels, and this fall is associated with impaired bone health.

description: We present a stacking analysis of galaxy clusters from the Massive and Distant Clusters of WISE Survey 2 (MaDCoWS2), using GALEX, WISE, and Herschel data to probe the star formation rate and stellar mass. Featuring more than 11k clusters and groups within the GAMA fields in a sample extending to z>2.5, this study represents the most statistically significant sample to date for such a stacking analysis. Our sample is divided into ten redshift bins and further divided into signal-to-noise bins, with the signal-to-noise used as a proxy for the mass. With clear detections in WISE 1, 2, and Herschel SPIRE bands, our results provide a comprehensive view of 6 Gyrs of cluster evolution. Our stack fluxes densities are measured in four concentric annuli with an aperture correction computed to account for the PSF difference between WISE and Herschel. Our results show that the sSFR increases with projected radius and redshift, with a transition at z~1.6 to a flat sSFR profile suggesting that the onset of the environmental quenching happened at this epoch, with a timescale of ~600 Myr. The sSFR shows a marginal dependence with the SNR at z<1.2, with the more massive clusters displaying less SF activity in their cores.

description: In this study we investigated whether anodization with calcium phosphate (CaP) incorporation (Vulcano®) enhances growth factors secretion, osteoblast-specific gene expression, and cell viability, when compared to acid etched surfaces (Porous®) and machined surfaces (Screw®) after 3 and 7 days. Results showed significant cell viability for Porous and Vulcano at day 7, when compared with Screw (p=0.005). At the same time point, significant differences regarding runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and bone sialoprotein (BSP) expression were found for all surfaces (p<0.05), but with greater fold induction for Porous and Vulcano. The secretion of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) was not significantly affected by surface treatment in any experimental time (p>0.05). Although no significant correlation was found for growth factors secretion and Runx2 expression, a significant positive correlation between this gene and ALP/BSP expression showed that their strong association is independent on the type of surface. The incorporation of CaP affected the biological parameters evaluated similar to surfaces just acid etched. The results presented here support the observations that roughness also may play an important role in determining cell response.

Oral Health in Women During Preconception and Pregnancy: Implications for Birth Outcomes and Infant Oral Health
Creators: name: Edelstein, Burton L.
name: Boggess, Kim A.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: The mouth is an obvious portal of entry to the body, and oral health reflects and influences general health and well being. Maternal oral health has significant implications for birth outcomes and infant oral health. Maternal periodontal disease, that is, a chronic infection of the gingiva and supporting tooth structures, has been associated with preterm birth, development of preeclampsia, and delivery of a small-for-gestational age infant. Maternal oral flora is transmitted to the newborn infant, and increased cariogenic flora in the mother predisposes the infant to the development of caries. It is intriguing to consider preconception, pregnancy, or intrapartum treatment of oral health conditions as a mechanism to improve women's oral and general health, pregnancy outcomes, and their children's dental health. However, given the relationship between oral health and general health, oral health care should be a goal in its own right for all individuals. Regardless of the potential for improved oral health to improve pregnancy outcomes, public policies that support comprehensive dental services for vulnerable women of childbearing age should be expanded so that their own oral and general health is safeguarded and their children's risk of caries is reduced. Oral health promotion should include education of women and their health care providers ways to prevent oral disease from occurring, and referral for dental services when disease is present.

description: Scanning probe microscopy is one of the most versatile windows into the nanoworld, providing imaging access to a variety of sample properties, depending on the probe employed. Tunneling probes map electronic properties of samples, magnetic and photonic probes image their magnetic and dielectric structure while sharp tips probe mechanical properties like surface topography, friction or stiffness. Most of these observables, however, are accessible only under limited circumstances. For instance, electronic properties are measurable only on conducting samples while atomic-resolution force microscopy requires careful preparation of samples in ultrahigh vacuum or liquid environments. Here we demonstrate a scanning probe imaging method that extends the range of accessible quantities to label-free imaging of chemical species operating on arbitrary samples - including insulating materials - under ambient conditions. Moreover, it provides three-dimensional depth information, thus revealing subsurface features. We achieve these results by recording nuclear magnetic resonance signals from a sample surface with a recently introduced scanning probe, a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. We demonstrate NMR imaging with 10 nm resolution and achieve chemically specific contrast by separating fluorine from hydrogen rich regions. Our result opens the door to scanning probe imaging of the chemical composition and atomic structure of arbitrary samples. A method with these abilities will find widespread application in material science even on biological specimens down to the level of single macromolecules.

description: For more than two decades, prenatal care has been a cornerstone of our nation’s strategy for improving pregnancy outcomes. In recent years, however, a growing recognition of the limits of prenatal care and the importance of maternal health before pregnancy has drawn increasing attention to preconception and internatal care. Internatal care refers to a package of healthcare and ancillary services provided to a woman and her family from the birth of one child to the birth of her next child. For healthy mothers, internatal care offers an opportunity for wellness promotion between pregnancies. For high-risk mothers, internatal care provides strategies for risk reduction before their next pregnancy. In this paper we begin to define the contents of internatal care. The core components of internatal care consist of risk assessment, health promotion, clinical and psychosocial interventions. We identified several priority areas, such as FINDS (family violence, infections, nutrition, depression, and stress) for risk assessment or BBEEFF (breastfeeding, back-to-sleep, exercise, exposures, family planning and folate) for health promotion. Women with chronic health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, or weight problems should receive on-going care per clinical guidelines for their evaluation, treatment, and follow-up during the internatal period. For women with prior adverse outcomes such as preterm delivery, we propose an internatal care model based on known etiologic pathways, with the goal of preventing recurrence by addressing these biobehavioral pathways prior to the next pregnancy. We suggest enhancing service integration for women and families, including possibly care coordination and home visitation for selected high-risk women. The primary aim of this paper is to start a dialogue on the content of internatal care.

description: We present a quantum model to calculate the dipole-dipole coupling between electronic excitations in the conduction band of semiconductor quantum wells. We demonstrate that the coupling depends on a characteristic length, related to the overlap between microscopic current densities associated with each electronic excitation. As a result of the coupling, a macroscopic polarization is established in the quantum wells, corresponding to one or few bright collective modes of the electron gas. Our model is applied to derive a sum rule and to investigate the interplay between tunnel coupling and Coulomb interaction in the absorption spectrum of a dense electron gas.

description: Only a limited number of economic evaluations have addressed the costs and benefits of preconception care. In order to persuade health care providers, payers, or purchasers to become actively involved in promoting preconception care, it is important to demonstrate the value of doing so through development of a “business case”. Perceived benefits in terms of organizational reputation and market share can be influential in forming a business case. In addition, it is standard to include an economic analysis of financial costs and benefits from the perspective of the provider practice, payer, or purchaser in a business case. The methods, data needs, and other issues involved with preparing an economic analysis of the likely financial return on investment in preconception care are presented here. This is accompanied by a review or case study of economic evaluations of preconception care for women with recognized diabetes. Although the data are not sufficient to draw firm conclusions, there are indications that such care may yield positive financial benefits to health care organizations through reduction in maternal and infant hospitalizations. More work is needed to establish how costs and economic benefits are distributed among different types of organizations. Also, the optimum methods of delivering preconception care for women with diabetes need to be evaluated. Similar assessments should also be conducted for other forms of preconception care, including comprehensive care.

description: This article explores the history of the preconception movement in the United States and the current status of professional practice guidelines and standards. Professionals with varying backgrounds (nurses, nurse practitioners, family practice physicians, pediatricians, nurse midwives, obstetricians/gynecologists) are in a position to provide preconception health services; standards and guidelines for numerous professional organizations, therefore, are explored. The professional nursing organization with the most highly developed preconception health standards is the American Academy of Nurse Midwives (ACNM); for physicians, it is the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). These guidelines and standards are discussed in detail.

description: The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity among women of childbearing age is a growing public health concern in the United States. The average body mass index (BMI) is increasing among all age categories and women enter pregnancy at higher weights. Women are also more likely to retain gestational weight with each pregnancy. Women who are overweight (BMI 25–30) and obese (BMI ≥30) are at greater risk of adverse reproductive health outcomes compared to women of normal weight status (BMI 19.8–25). This article provides an overview of the complications associated with maternal overweight and obesity including diabetes, pre-eclampsia, c-sections, and birth defects. We present updated information on the weight trends among women. Finally, we present an overview of the prevention studies aimed at adolescents and women prior to pregnancy.

The phase and polarization of oscillations can be controlled by resonant coherent pulses and the propagation of oscillating domains gives rise to phase-dependent interference patterns in real space. We show that interbranch polariton-polariton scattering controls the propagation of oscillating domains, which can be used to realize logic gates based on an analogue variable phase.

description: Spectroscopy is an essential tool in understanding and manipulating quantum systems, such as atoms and molecules. The model describing spectroscopy includes a multipole-field interaction, which leads to established spectroscopic selection rules, and an interaction that is quadratic in the field, which is often neglected. However, spectroscopy using the quadratic (ponderomotive) interaction promises two significant advantages over spectroscopy using the multipole-field interaction: flexible transition rules and vastly improved spatial addressability of the quantum system. For the first time, we demonstrate ponderomotive spectroscopy by using optical-lattice-trapped Rydberg atoms, pulsating the lattice light at a microwave frequency, and driving a microwave atomic transition that would otherwise be forbidden by established spectroscopic selection rules. This new ability to measure frequencies of previously inaccessible transitions makes possible improved determinations of atomic characteristics and constants underlying physics. In the spatial domain, the resolution of ponderomotive spectroscopy is orders of magnitude better than the transition frequency (and the corresponding diffraction limit) would suggest, promising single-site addressability in a dense particle array for quantum control and computing applications. Future advances in technology may allow ponderomotive spectroscopy to be extended to ground-state atoms and trapped molecules.

description: We first introduce the design parameters of the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider II (BEPCII) and the simulation study of beam-beam effects during the design process of the machine. The main advances since 2007 are briefly introduced and reviewed. The longitudinal feedback system was installed to suppress the coupled bunch instability in January 2010. The horizontal tune decreased from 6.53 to 6.508 during the course of data taken in December, 2010. The saturation of the beam-beam parameter was found in 2011, and the vacuum chambers and magnets near the north crossing point were moved 15 cm in order to mitigate the long range beam-beam interaction. At the beginning of 2013, the beam-beam parameter achieved 0.04 with the new lower $α_{p}$ lattice and the peak luminosity achieved 7 x 10$^{32}$ cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$.

description: In recent years, numerical simulations with Gaussian initial states have demonstrated the existence of a quantum bounce in loop quantum cosmology in various models. A key issue pertaining to the robustness of the bounce and the associated physics is to understand the quantum evolution for more general initial states which may depart significantly from Gaussianity and may have no well defined peakedness properties. The analysis of such states, including squeezed and highly non-Gaussian states, has been computationally challenging until now. In this manuscript, we overcome these challenges by using the Chimera scheme for the spatially flat, homogeneous and isotropic model sourced with a massless scalar field. We demonstrate that the quantum bounce in this model occurs even for states which are highly squeezed or are non-Gaussian with multiple peaks and with little resemblance to semi-classical states. The existence of the bounce is found to be robust, being independent of the properties of the states. The evolution of squeezed and non-Gaussian states turns out to be qualitatively similar to that of Gaussian states, and satisfies strong constraints on the growth of the relative fluctuations across the bounce. We also compare the results from the effective dynamics and find that, although it captures the qualitative aspects of the evolution for squeezed and highly non-Gaussian states, it always underestimates the bounce volume. We show that various properties of the evolution, such as the energy density at the bounce, are in excellent agreement with the predictions from an exactly solvable loop quantum cosmological model for arbitrary states.

description: This paper is mainly based on a stricter premise of the twin paradox and the assumption of inertial frame, discusses the properties of time and space under the premise of complete symmetry, and draws an interesting conclusion: the simultaneity of different reference frames is possible realized, and the space is relatively independent. And based on this, the twin paradox, cosmic inflation, ultra-distance action of quantum entanglement, microscopic space motion of particles, measurement problems and other phenomena are tentatively explained from a new angle. This interpretation is exploratory and new. At the same time, the author also proposes an experimental way to test the relative independence of space. At the same time, this paper attempts to strictly prove that Einstein's definition of simultaneity and spatial absoluteness in special relativity may be problematic.

description: Optical cavity structure has been proven to be a crucial factor for obtaining high detection efficiency in superconducting nanowire single photon detector (SNSPD). Practically, complicated fabrication processes may result in a non-ideal optical cavity structure. The cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM) image of SNSPD fabricated in this study shows unexpected arc-shaped optical cavities which could have originated due to the over-etching of SiO2 layer while defining NbN nanowire. The effects of the arc-shaped optical cavity structure, such as the wavelength dependence of the optical absorption efficiency for different polarization, were analyzed by performing optical simulations using finite-difference time-domain method. The central wavelength of the device is found to exhibit a blue shift owing to the arced cavity structure. This effect is equivalent to the flat cavity with a reduced height. The results may give interesting reference for SNSPD design and fabrication.

description: This research work mainly focuses on improving the concrete strength based on fiber reinforcement both in compression and tension. Concrete with various mix proportions containing dosage of Polypropylene (PP) fiber of lengths ranging from 13 to 25 mm with coarse aggregate replacement levels at 10%, 20%, and 30% by dismantled road aggregate were made and the compressive and tensile strengths were investigated. The experimental test results revealed high compressive and tensile strength at curing period of 28 and 56 days. The specimens tested observed that due to addition of fiber, the fibers could hold the matrix together even after extensive cracking and crushing. Net result of all these is to impart to the fiber composite pronounced post-cracking ductility which is absent in traditional concrete. In order to provide base for comparison, concrete specimens as a reference were cast without the addition of polypropylene fiber. Test result revealed that by adding polypropylene fibers at 6grams per one kg of cement a considerable improvement in the strength of concrete of 37.68 MPa and 43.59 MPa at 28 and 56 days respectively with 10% coarse aggregate replacement by recycled aggregate is achieved.

description: Naive estimates of the statistics of large scale structure and weak lensing power spectrum measurements that include only Gaussian errors exaggerate their scientific impact. Non-linear evolution and finite volume effects are both significant sources of non-Gaussian covariance that reduce the ability of power spectrum measurements to constrain cosmological parameters. Using a halo model formalism, we derive an intuitive understanding of the various contributions to the covariance and show that our analytical treatment agrees with simulations. This approach enables an approximate derivation of a joint likelihood for the cluster number counts, the weak lensing power spectrum and the bispectrum. We show that this likelihood is a good description of the ray-tracing simulation. Since all of these observables are sensitive to the same finite volume effects and contain information about the non-linear evolution, a combined analysis recovers much of the "lost" information and obviates the non-Gaussian covariance. For upcoming weak lensing surveys, we estimate that a joint analysis of power spectrum, number counts and bispectrum will produce an improvement of about $30-40\%$ in determinations of the matter density and the scalar amplitude. This improvement is equivalent to doubling the survey area.

description: We present a method to decompose a set of multivariate real polynomials into linear combinations of univariate polynomials in linear forms of the input variables. The method proceeds by collecting the first-order information of the polynomials in a set of operating points, which is captured by the Jacobian matrix evaluated at the operating points. The polyadic canonical decomposition of the three-way tensor of Jacobian matrices directly returns the unknown linear relations, as well as the necessary information to reconstruct the univariate polynomials. The conditions under which this decoupling procedure works are discussed, and the method is illustrated on several numerical examples.

description: The majority of women gain more weight during pregnancy than what is recommended. Since gestational weight gain is related to short and long-term maternal health outcomes, it is important to identify women at greater risk of not adhering to guidelines. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between body image and gestational weight gain. The Body Image Assessment for Obesity tool was used to measure ideal and current body sizes in 1,192 women participating in the Pregnancy, Infection and Nutrition Study. Descriptive and multivariable techniques were used to assess the effects of ideal body size and discrepancy score (current—ideal body sizes), which reflected the level of body dissatisfaction, on gestational weight gain. Women who preferred to be thinner had increased risk of excessive gain if they started the pregnancy at a BMI ≤26 kg/m2 but a decreased risk if they were overweight or obese. Comparing those who preferred thin body silhouettes to those who preferred average size silhouettes, low income women had increased risk of inadequate weight gain [RR = 1.76 (1.08, 2.88)] while those with lower education were at risk of excessive gain [RR = 1.11 (1.00, 1.22)]. Our results revealed that body image was associated with gestational weight gain but the relationship is complex. Identifying factors that affect whether certain women are at greater risk of gaining outside of guidelines may improve our ability to decrease pregnancy-related health problems.
