Relationship between continuity of care and emergency department utilization in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder in British Columbia
Creators: name: Mozel, Michelle R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Cxjntmuity of care with a primary care provider has long been thought to lead to improved health outcomes and greater patient and physician satisfaction. The benefits of continuity of care remain controversial, however, and have not been firmly established for pediatric patients. The objective of this study was to examine whether continuity of care with a primary care provider is associated with the number of emergency department (ED) visits in children and adolescents with a diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in British Columbia We analyzed two years of physician claims records for over 4000 British Columbia children aged 4 to 16 to determine individual continuity of care (COC) scores for each study participant. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was then applied to determine if a relationship exists between COC computed during two years and number of ED visits made during the following year. Our results showed a weak association between continuity with a primary care provider and ED use. In multivariate analysis, continuity was associated with a lower likelihood of making a single ED visit (odds ratio, 0.85; 95% confidence interval, 0.70- 1.05) and is more strongly associated with a lower likelihood of making multiple E D visits (odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.62-1.05). Other variables that were associated with outcome include: age, socio-economic status, overall number of general practitioner visits, pediatrician visits, psychiatrist visits, and illness burden. This study demonstrates that high primary care provider continuity is associated with lower ED use for children aged 4 to 16 with ADHD in British Columbia. The results suggest that strategies to improve continuity of primary care provider among this population may lead to decreased ED utilization and should therefore be encouraged.

description: We present observations of the Type Ia supernovae (SNe) 1999M, 1999N, 1999Q, 1999S, and 1999U, at redshift z~0.5. They were discovered in early 1999 with the 4.0~m Blanco telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory by the High-z Supernova Search Team (HZT) and subsequently followed with many ground-based telescopes. SNe 1999Q and 1999U were also observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. We computed luminosity distances to the new SNe using two methods, and added them to the high-z Hubble diagram that the HZT has been constructing since 1995. The new distance moduli confirm the results of previous work. At z~0.5, luminosity distances are larger than those expected for an empty universe, implying that a ``Cosmological Constant,'' or another form of ``dark energy,'' has been increasing the expansion rate of the Universe during the last few billion years.

Theory of the Inverse Faraday Effect due to the Rashba Spin-Oribt Interactions: Roles of Band Dispersions and Fermi Surfaces

description: We theoretically study the inverse Faraday effect, i.e., the optical induction of spin polarization with circularly polarized light, by particularly focusing on effects of band dispersions and Fermi surfaces in crystal systems with the spin-orbit interaction (SOI). By numerically solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation of a tight-binding model with the Rashba-type SOI, we reproduce the light-induced spin polarization proportional to $E_0^2/ω^3$ where $E_0$ and $ω$ are the electric-field amplitude and the angular frequency of light, respectively. This optical spin induction is attributed to dynamical magnetoelectric coupling between the light electric field and the electron spins mediated by the SOI. We elucidate that the magnitude and sign of the induced spin polarization sensitively depend on the electron filling. To understand these results, we construct an analytical theory based on the Floquet theorem. The theory successfully explains the dependencies on $E_0$ and $ω$ and ascribes the electron-filling dependence to a momentum-dependent effective magnetic field governed by the Fermi-surface geometry. Several candidate materials and experimental conditions relevant to our theory and model parameters are also discussed. Our findings will enable us to engineer the magneto-optical responses of matters via tuning the material parameters.

description: The unicellular soil alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii forms diploid zygotes during its sexual cycle. The process of a zygote maturing into a highly resistant zygospore remains poorly understood despite its importance for survival under adverse environmental conditions. Here we describe the detailed timeline of morphological and physiological changes during zygote maturation in darkness on ammonium-free Tris-acetate-phosphate agar plates. The formation of a multilayered cell wall is primarily responsible for the increase in cell size in the first few days after zygote formation. Desiccation and freezing tolerance also develop in the period 3–7 days. Photosynthetic and respiratory activity decrease to reach minimal levels after 7–10 days, accompanied by a partial dedifferentiation of the chloroplast that includes chlorophyll degradation followed by the possible disappearance of the pyrenoid. In contrast to the decreasing concentrations of most carotenoids in the first few days after zygote formation, ketocarotenoids can first be detected after 3 days and their accumulation is completed after 10 days. Furthermore, the zygote degrades a large proportion of its starch and enriches oligosaccharides that may serve as osmoprotectants. The storage lipid triacylglycerol is accumulated at the expense of thylakoid membrane lipids, which mirrors the conversion of a metabolically active cell into a dormant spore on the metabolic level. Taken together, zygote maturation is a multifaceted process that yields mature zygospores after ~ 3 weeks. This work sheds light on the complete time course of the remodeling of a photosynthetically active eukaryotic cell into a dormant, highly resistant spore.

description: A commonly experienced problem with population based optimisation methods is the gradual decline in population diversity that tends to occur over time. This can slow a system's progress or even halt it completely if the population converges on a local optimum from which it cannot escape. In this paper we present the Fitness Uniform Deletion Scheme (FUDS), a simple but somewhat unconventional approach to this problem. Under FUDS the deletion operation is modified to only delete those individuals which are "common" in the sense that there exist many other individuals of similar fitness in the population. This makes it impossible for the population to collapse to a collection of highly related individuals with similar fitness. Our experimental results on a range of optimisation problems confirm this, in particular for deceptive optimisation problems the performance is significantly more robust to variation in the selection intensity.

description: The purpose of this deliverable is to report how the monitoring activities were performed during the execution of the Ride2Rail project and to provide recommendations for the replicability of the trials. The monitoring activities were an integral part of the demonstrations held in the four selected sites of Athens, Helsinki, Brno and Padua and concerned both general aspects, represented by KPIs valid for all demonstration sites, and local aspects, represented by specific KPIs for single site. The document takes up the D4.3 Monitoring Tools to testify the adoption of the indications reported and offers some considerations regarding the improvement of the monitoring possibilities. Inherent in the monitoring, there was also an evaluation activity of the collected values (T5.3) which is shown here. However, considerations and analysis on KPIs are not part of this document because they are included in D5.3 Evaluation and Impact assessment.

Finally, some considerations are provided regarding the replicability of the experiments carried out, offering ideas for a next project that could be even more fruitful, with larger results achieved.

The document is structured as follows:

·         chapter one will report the Background information regarding the Ride2Rail project, the Shift2Rail context, and the purposes of WP4;

·         chapter two will describe the Monitoring Tools indicated in D4.3 and how they were adopted in the project;

·         chapter three will describe how monitoring was executed, depicting the two different but strongly linked phases in which monitoring took place: the WP4 and the T5.3;

·         chapter four will report the conclusions regarding the monitoring process and some recommendations for replicability.

description: Recent advances in guiding and localizing light at the nanoscale exposed the enormous potential of ultra-scaled plasmonic devices. In this context, the decay of surface plasmons to hot carriers triggers a variety of applications in boosting the efficiency of energy-harvesting, photo-catalysis and photo-detection. However, a detailed understanding of plasmonic hot carrier generation and particularly the transfer at metal-semiconductor interfaces is still elusive. In this paper, we introduce a monolithic metal-semiconductor (Al-Ge) heterostructure device, providing a platform to examine surface plasmon decay and hot electron transfer at an atomically sharp Schottky nanojunction. The gated metal-semiconductor heterojunction device features electrostatic control of the Schottky barrier height at the Al-Ge interface, enabling hot electron filtering. The ability of momentum matching and to control the energy distribution of plasmon-driven hot electron injection is demonstrated by controlling the interband electron transfer in Ge leading to negative differential resistance.

description: The structure of industries changes in two major ways. Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures are considered external factors. In addition, the firm rate of internal growth will influence market concentration. If the firm grows slower than the market, concentration will go down, etc. These two factors may work in concert or pull in opposite directions. The authors investigate the trends and effects of mergers on the food marketing system. A clear trend of increasing merger activity from 1982 through 1986 is apparent. It is not clear what has happened after 1986, although accounts suggest a continued high level of merger activity. The cumulative result of these mergers is even more pronounced when combined with the growth trends in each sector.

description: Motivated by a recent experiment, we study the microwave-induced photoconductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas arising from intra-Landau-level transitions within a model where the electrons are subject to a unidirectional periodic potential in addition to a weaker impurity potential. With appropriate identifications, our results can be compared to experiment and allow us to explain the sign of the photocurrent, its dependence on magnetic field and microwave frequency as well as the microwave-induced suppression of the Shubnikov-deHaas oscillations.

description: The two-dimensional scaling Ising model in a magnetic field at critical temperature is integrable and possesses eight stable particles A_i (i=1,...,8) with different masses. The heaviest five lie above threshold and owe their stability to integrability. We use form factor perturbation theory to compute the decay widths of the first two particles above threshold when integrability is broken by a small deviation from the critical temperature. The lifetime ratio t_4/t_5 is found to be 0.233; the particle A_5 decays at 47% in the channel A_1A_1 and for the remaining fraction in the channel A_1A_2. The increase of the lifetime with the mass, a feature which can be expected in two dimensions from phase space considerations, is in this model further enhanced by the dynamics.

description: Dilute Bose gases, cooled down to low temperatures below the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature, form coherent ensembles described by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Stationary solutions to the latter are topological coherent modes. The ground state, corresponding to the lowest energy level, defines the standard Bose-Einstein condensate, while the states with higher energy levels represent nonground-state condensates. The higher modes can be generated by alternating fields, whose frequencies are in resonance with the associated transition frequencies. The condensate with topological coherent modes exhibits a variety of nontrivial effects. Here it is demonstrated that the dynamical transition between the mode-locked and mode-unlocked regimes is accompanied by noticeable changes in the evolutional entanglement production.

description: Trapping of atoms and molecules in electrostatic, magnetic and optical traps has enabled studying atomic and molecular interactions on a timescale of many seconds, allowing observations of ultra-cold collisions and reactions. Here we report the first magnetic deceleration and trapping of neutral carbon atoms in a static magnetic trap. When co-trapping the carbon atoms with oxygen molecules in a superconducting trap, the carbon signal decays in a non-exponential manner, consistent with losses resulting from atom-molecule collisions. Our findings pave the way to studying both elastic and inelastic collisions of species that cannot be laser cooled, and specifically may facilitate the observation of reactions at low temperatures, such as C + O2 --> CO + O, which is important in interstellar chemistry.

description: This paper is a contribution to the Proceedings of the Workshop Complexity, Metastability and Nonextensivity held in Erice 20-26 July 2004, to be published by World Scientific. We propose a generalization to Merton's model for evaluating credit spreads. In his original work, a company's assets were assumed to follow a log-normal process. We introduce fat tails and skew into this model, along the same lines as in the option pricing model of Borland and Bouchaud (2004, Quantitative Finance 4) and illustrate the effects of each component. Preliminary empirical results indicate that this model fits well to empirically observed credit spreads with a parameterization that also matched observed stock return distributions and option prices.

description: PURPOSE: The number of patients with childhood cancer (CC) in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to rise over the coming years. According to the WHO Initiative for Childhood Cancer, access to care is crucial and must be guided by the needs of patients and their families. Our study explored barriers to CC treatment from a patient’s perspective to guide the health care providers. METHODS: From February to September 2021, we conducted a multinational crosssectional study with a sample from nine population-based cancer registries in nine sub-Saharan countries. Inclusion criteria comprised a cancer diagnosis according to the International Classification of Childhood Cancer, age 0- 19 years, and year of diagnosis 2017-2019. A questionnaire was administered asking families about self-perceived barriers accessing surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. To assess associated factors, we conducted a multivariable regression analysis presenting the results as odds ratios (ORs). RESULTS: A total of 224 patients with CC was included. The fear of treatment effects and the perceived (poor) health of the child were named most frequently as barriers for all treatment modalities (78.9% and 75.5%, respectively). For chemotherapy, respondents who indicated themselves as rich had lower odds of perceiving the (poor) health of the child as a barrier (OR, 0.06 [95% CI, 0.01 to 0.36]). For radiotherapy, long waiting time and (limited) availability in the country were more commonly barriers (OR, 7.53 [95% CI, 3.38 to 16.78]; OR, 11.11 [95% CI, 2.04 to 60.46], respectively) than for chemotherapy. CONCLUSION: Despite known barriers such as the availability of therapy, our study additionally indicates the importance of the patients’ and families’ perceptions of the disease and its treatment. Further expanding measures of social support for affected families should be regarded as one of the main pillars to assure access to care.

description: The polytropic equation of state of an atomic hydrogen gas is examined for primordial halos with baryonic masses of M_h~10^7-10^9 Mo. For roughly isothermal collapse around 10^4 K, we find that line trapping of Lyman alpha (HI and HeII) photons causes the polytropic exponent to stiffen to values significantly above unity. Under the assumptions of zero H2 abundance and very modest pollution by metals (<10^-4 Solar), fragmentation is likely to be inhibited for such an equation of state. We argue on purely thermodynamic grounds that a single black hole of ~0.02-0.003M_h can form at the center of a halo for z=10-20 when the free-fall time is less than the time needed for a resonantly scattered Lyman alpha photon to escape from the halo. The absence of H2 follows naturally from the high, 10^4 K, temperatures that are attained when Lyman alpha photons are trapped in the dense and massive halos that we consider. An H2 dissociating UV background is needed if positive feedback effects on H2 formation from X-rays occur. The black hole to baryon mass fraction is suggestively close to what is required for these intermediate mass black holes, of mass M_BH~10^4-10^6 Mo, to act as seeds for forming the supermassive black holes of mass ~0.001M_spheroid found in galaxies today.

description: The Polarized Atomic Hydrogen Gas Jet Target polarimeter (HJET) is operated at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) since 2004 to measure the absolute polarization of each colliding proton beam. Polarimeter detectors and data acquisition were upgraded in 2015 to increase the solid angle, energy range, and to improve the energy and time resolution. These upgrades along with an improved beam intensity and polarization allowed us to greatly reduce the statistical and systematic errors for the proton polarization measurements in RHIC Runs 15 ($E_\text{beam}\!=\!100~\text{GeV}$) and 17 ($255~\text{GeV}$). For a typical 8 hour RHIC store, the measured proton beam average polarization was about $P_\text{beam}\!\sim\!55\pm2.0_\text{stat}\pm0.3_\text{syst}\%$. The elastic $\mathit{pp}$ analyzing power, $A_\text{N}(t)\!\sim\!0.04$, was determined with a precision of about $|δA_\text{N}(t)|\!\sim\!0.0002$ in the momentum transfer squared range $0.001\!

description: Liquid carbon dioxide refrigeration offers a simple, reliable alternative to mechanical transport refrigeration for food delivery trailers operated in an upper midwestern area that could be cost effective when the refrigerant's cost is $87 or less per ton. Operating and ownership costs were compared for both systems. Under the conditions of the study, a carbon dioxide system was more economical than a mechanical refrigeration system when the cost of the liquid carbon dioxide was $87 per ton or less. The study indicated that a fleet of at least ten carbon dioxide refrigerated units is needed to justify use of a storage tank that can accept a 20-ton delivery of liquid carbon dioxide.

description: The active Phase-Field-Crystal (aPFC) model combines elements of the Toner-Tu theory for self-propelled particles and the classical Phase-Field-Crystal (PFC) model that describes the transition between liquid to crystalline phases. In the liquid-crystal coexistence region of the PFC model, crystalline clusters exist in the form of localized states that coexist with the homogeneous background. At sufficiently strong self-propulsion strength (or activity) they start to travel. We employ numerical path continuation and direct time simulations to first investigate the existence regions of different types of localized states for a one-dimensional system. The results are summarized in morphological phase diagrams in the parameter plane spanned by activity and mean concentration. Then we focus on the interaction of traveling localized states studying their collision behavior. As a result we distinguish 'elastic' and 'inelastic' collisions. In the former, localized states recover their properties after a collision while in the latter they may annihilate or form resting or traveling bound states. In passing, we describe oscillating and modulated traveling localized states that have as the steadily traveling localized states no counterpart in the classical PFC model.

description: Purpose: To systematically analyze gender-specific differences in recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS) as well as adverse events and quality of Life (QoL) as secondary aims in NMIBC patients undergoing cytostatic intravesical chemotherapy. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on studies published between 1976 and 2024, following PRISMA guidelines. MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library were used as literature sources. No restrictions were made concerning language, study region or publication type. Data from 12 studies encompassing 1,527 patients were analyzed. Outcomes were assessed using random-effects models, with gender as a primary variable of interest. A risk of bias assessment was done using the ROBINS-I tool or RoB2 as appropriate. Results: The pooled analysis demonstrated no statistically significant gender-specific differences in RFS (HR = 1.0625, 95% CI 0.8094–1.0526) or PFS (HR = 1.0861, 95% CI 0.7038–1.6760). Data on CSS and OS were insufficient for meaningful conclusions. Two included studies analyzed in univariate or multivariate regression gender as risk factor for recurrence or progression, but gender was not a significant risk factor. Adverse events and QoL outcomes were notably underreported, with no gender-specific data available. Conclusions: While this study found no significant gender-based differences in NMIBC outcomes following intravesical chemotherapy, the findings are limited by the small number of studies, underrepresentation of women, and inconsistent reporting of critical outcomes. Future research should prioritize gender-focused analyses and explore the molecular and genetic basis of potential differences to inform precision medicine and equitable care.

description: We measured the thermonuclear burning efficiency as a function of accretion rate for the Type I X-ray bursts of five low-mass X-ray binary systems. We chose sources with measured neutron star spins and a substantial population of bursts from a large observational sample. The general trend for the burst rate is qualitatively the same for all sources; the burst rate first increases with the accretion rate up to a maximum, above which the burst rate declines, despite the increasing accretion rate. At higher accretion rates, when the burst rate decreases, the α-value (the ratio of accretion energy and burst energy) increases by up to a factor of 10 above that in the rising burst rate regime. These observations are contrary to the predictions of 1D numerical models, but can be explained as the consequence of a zone of stable burning on the neutron star surface, which expands with increasing accretion rate. The stable burning also "pollutes" the unstable burning layer with ashes, contributing to the change in burst properties measured in the falling burst rate regime. We find that the mass accretion rate at which the burst rate begins to decrease is anti-correlated with the spin of the neutron star. We conclude that the neutron star spin is a key factor, moderating the nuclear burning stability, via the local accretion rate and fuel composition over the star.

description: The POINT-AGAPE collaboration surveyed M31 with the primary goal of optical detection of microlensing events, yet its data catalogue is also a prime source of lightcurves of variable and transient objects, including classical novae (CNe). A reliable means of identification, combined with a thorough survey of the variable objects in M31, provides an excellent opportunity to locate and study an entire galactic population of CNe. This paper presents a set of 440 neural networks, working in 44 committees, designed specifically to identify fast CNe. The networks are developed using training sets consisting of simulated novae and POINT-AGAPE lightcurves, in a novel variation on K-fold cross-validation. They use the binned, normalised power spectra of the lightcurves as input units. The networks successfully identify 9 of the 13 previously identified M31 CNe within their optimal working range (and 11 out of 13 if the network error bars are taken into account). They provide a catalogue of 19 new candidate fast CNe, of which 4 are strongly favoured.

description: This paper reports the results of a study designed to determine how consumers "group" various products into categories. Specifically, it was determined that consumers clearly perceive two types of brands: (1) manufacturers' brands, and (2) distributors' brands. While manufacturers' brands were viewed as a distinct offering, consumers did not differentiate between private brands and generics.

description: We have analyzed the 9.7 and ``18'' micron interstellar silicate absorption features along the line of sight toward four heavily extincted galactic WC-type Wolf-Rayet (WR) stars. We construct two interstellar extinction curves from 1.25 to 25 micron using near-IR extinction measurements from the literature along with the silicate profiles of WR 98a (representing the local ISM) and GCS 3 (representing the Galactic Center). We have investigated the mineralogy of the interstellar silicates by comparing extinction profiles for amorphous silicates with olivine and pyroxene stochiometry to the 9.7 and ``18'' micron absorption features in the WR 98a spectrum. In this analysis, we have considered solid and porous spheres and a continuous distribution of ellipsoids. While it is not possible to simultaneously provide a perfect match to both profiles, we find the best match requires a mixture of these two types of compounds. We also consider iron oxides, aluminosilicates and silicate carbide (SiC) as grain components. Iron oxides cannot be accommodated in the observed spectrum, while the amount of Si in SiC is limited to <4%. Finally, we discuss the cosmic elemental abundance constraints on the silicate mineralogy, grain shape and porosity.

description: In this study a comparative analysis of the Rural Development Plans (RDPs) in four intermediate rural regions (Northern Netherlands, Lower Saxony, Wales and Emilia Romagna) and four most urban regions (Southern Netherlands, North Rhine-Westphalia, Flanders and Lombardia) is made. Such plans are designed in the scope of the second pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). In particular, the focus was on the question whether the menu approach of the second pillar enables EU member states and regions to design Rural Development Plans with a tailor-made set of measures which address their specific rural development needs. The findings of this study suggest that the current menu of rural development measures is sufficient to suit the wide range of socio-economic, ecological and physical circumstances in the EU regions. The analysis also revealed that there is some overlap between the three rural development priorities of the second pillar. Therefore, an outline of future rural development priorities and measures in the EU is designed, in which it is attempted to avoid overlap between the various rural development priorities and in which each measure contributes to the achievement of one development priority only. In addition, it is proposed that regions would select only those measures in their Rural Development Plan which really address the rural development needs in their region, even if this results in a Rural Development Plan with only one or two rural development measures. Such an approach of selecting rural development measures according to regional needs will result in a large variation in rural development measures implemented and may be considered regional differentiation of EU rural development policy.

description: The role of medical physics professionals (MPPs) (medical physicists and medical physics experts) in physiological measurement and related therapies (PM&T) applied in e.g., critical care, neurophysiology, neurology, physiology, audiology, and neurotology has long been acknowledged. Given that the exact role and medical specialty fields in which MPP are involved vary between countries, this policy statement aims to provide direction towards improved definition, harmonisation, and development of the role. This policy statement considers the surveyed experiences from several European countries, state-of-the-art of PM&T, and anticipated future developments. We also present an inventory of competences, and associated knowledge and skills expected of MPPs working in these areas.
The end of the pipe : integrated stormwater management and urban design in the Queen’s ditch
Creators: name: Murdoch, Scott Philip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Queen's Ditch is located three kilometers north of Comox on Vancouver Island and is roughly 1300 hectares in size. In 1998, the watershed experienced a 1 in 200-year rain event that flooded much of the lower watershed. The Regional District of Comox-Strathcona is responsible for land-use planning in the watershed and initiated an investigation into the stormwater runoff problem. This thesis is divided into two components: a planning phase to identify problems with watershed hydrology; and a design phase to illustrate urban design that manages stormwater runoff. Watershed assessments were conducted at the watershed and sub-watershed scale. Watershed assessments were descriptive and helped predict future trends in land-use change. These assessments were not able to identify site specific problems. Sub-watershed assessment was useful at quantifying and identifying stormwater problems. Planners should use sub-watershed hydrological performance to guide land-use planning decisions and assess hydrological and ecological effects of development. The planning phase provides planners with a process to prioritize candidate areas for development, conservation, and rehabilitation. The design phase compares urban design and stormwater performance standards of a proposed conventional design with a sustainable design. The goal of the sustainable design was to mimic the site's natural hydrology to help reduce off-site runoff, and to ensure adequate groundwater recharge. Objectives of the sustainable design were to preserve natural vegetation; maintain x>£ time of concentration; reduce and disconnect impervious surfaces,, and treatment first flush flows. Comparisons of conventional and sustainable designs indicate that stormwater runoff and pollution can be managed at the site level. The sustainable design provides forty-seven percent more dwelling units and exports no stormwater. The sustainable design achieves this without an expensive stormdrain infrastructure. Stormwater is managed at the site level using small infiltration depressions and swales. The design works with the natural hydrological processes of the site to generate a hydrologically sustainable design. Simulated stormwater outputs were used to test and size infiltration ponds and to assess flooding risks. The sustainable design effectively manages stormwater production, runoff, and pollution from storm events ranging from polluted first flush flows to large, flood producing rainstorms.
