Prehospital ventilator use for post-cardiac arrest and rapid sequenced intubated patients
Creators: name: Schill, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Purpose: To evaluate the use of ventilators that were recently placed on the paramedic vehicles for patients in a post-cardiac arrest condition or intubated via rapid sequence intubation. Methodology: A retrospective chart review for the pre-hospital ventilator use was evaluated at a large suburban healthcare system with a Mobile Health division. The chart review consisted of 150 records of patients older than 18 with documented intubations post-cardiac arrest or via rapidly sequenced intubation from September 2017 to September 2018, along with 119 records of patients who had ventilator use post-intubation from September 2019 to September 2020. Each of the two groups compared data points such as initial oxygen saturation and end-tidal CO2 levels upon Emergency Department arrival, length of stay on the ventilator, length of stay in the hospital, and status upon discharge from the hospital. Results: 253 charts were reviewed between the two groups, with 140 charts being from the pre-group and 113 charts from the post-group. The average length of stay on a ventilator for the pre-group was 131.9 hours, whereas the post group was 94.5 hours. However, there was no significant statistical difference between the two groups, but there was a decrease in hours on the ventilator for the post-group. Additional comparison was conducted of the initial oxygen saturation upon ED arrival, initial end-tidal CO2 levels upon ED arrival, length of stay, and cost for ICU care. Implications for Practice: This program evaluation demonstrated a cost-saving for the health system even though there was no significant statistical difference and a decreased average length of stay on the ventilator. The review did identify gaps in the charting, current worldwide events, and even transport times while completing the analysis phase.

description: Over the past 15 years, examples of exotic radio-quiet quasars with intrinsically weak or absent broad emission line regions (BELRs) have emerged from large-scale spectroscopic sky surveys. Here, we present spectroscopy of seven such weak emission line quasars (WLQs) at moderate redshifts (z=1.4-1.7) using the X-shooter spectrograph, which provides simultaneous optical and near-infrared spectroscopy covering the rest-frame ultraviolet through optical. These new observations effectively double the number of WLQs with spectroscopy in the optical rest-frame, and they allow us to compare the strengths of (weak) high-ionization emission lines (e.g., CIV) to low-ionization lines (e.g., MgII, Hb, Ha) in individual objects. We detect broad Hb and Ha emission in all objects, and these lines are generally toward the weaker end of the distribution expected for typical quasars (e.g., Hb has rest-frame equivalent widths ranging from 15-40 Ang.). However, these low-ionization lines are not exceptionally weak, as is the case for high-ionization lines in WLQs. The X-shooter spectra also display relatively strong optical FeII emission, Hb FWHM <4000 km/s, and significant CIV blueshifts (1000-5500 km/s) relative to the systemic redshift; two spectra also show elevated ultraviolet FeII emission, and an outflowing component to their (weak) MgII emission lines. These properties suggest that WLQs are exotic versions of "wind-dominated" quasars. Their BELRs either have unusual high-ionization components, or their BELRs are in an atypical photoionization state because of an unusually soft continuum.

Cyclic Voltammetric Analysis of Ferrocene Alkanethiol Monolayer Electrode Kinetics Based on Marcus Theory
Creators: name: Tender, Leonard

name: Carter, Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: Theory for electrode kinetics of surface-immobilized monolayers in cyclic
voltamnmetry is developed based on the Marcus free energy-rate relation. Numerical
calculations show that when the applied over-potential exceeds 0a. 30% of the
reorganizational energy of the electrode reaction, voltammetry predicted from Marcus theory
differs from that based on classical Butler-Volmer kinetics with regard to waveshape, peak
currents and their dependence on potential sweep rate, and variation of peak potential with
potential sweep rate. Estimates of the standard rate constant, ko, can be made from EpEAK
data without exact knowledge of reorganizational energies. Examples are given of evaluating
ko for monolayers of ferrocene alkanethiols chemisorbed on Au(1 11) electrodes, when the
monolayers are highly ordered, and kinetically monodisperse, and when they are somewhat
disordered, and kinetically disperse on bulk gold electrodes at room and 150K temperatures.
Graph Laplacians, component groups and Drinfeld modular curves

description: Let $\frak{p}$ be a prime ideal of $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$. Let $J_0(\frak{p})$ be the Jacobian variety of the Drinfeld modular curve $X_0(\frak{p})$. Let $Φ$ be the component group of $J_0(\frak{p})$ at the place $1/T$. We use graph Laplacians to estimate the order of $Φ$ as $\mathrm{deg}(\frak{p})$ goes to infinity. This estimate implies that $Φ$ is not annihilated by the Eisenstein ideal of the Hecke algebra $\mathbb{T}(\frak{p})$ acting on $J_0(\frak{p})$ once the degree of $\frak{p}$ is large enough. We also obtain an asymptotic formula for the size of the discriminant of $\mathbb{T}(\frak{p})$ by relating this discriminant to the order of $Φ$; in this problem the order of $Φ$ plays a role similar to the Faltings height of classical modular Jacobians. Finally, we bound the spectrum of the adjacency operator of a finite subgraph of an infinite diagram in terms of the spectrum of the adjacency operator of the diagram itself; this result has applications to the gonality of Drinfeld modular curves.
Rapid and Selective Cyclic Voltammetric Measurements of Epinephrine and Norepinephrine as a Method To Measure Secretion from Single Bovine Adrenal Medullary Cells

description: Background-subtracted cyclic voltammetry at a scan rate of 800 V/s with carbon fiber microelectrodes has been used to detect and differentiate between epinephrine and norepinephrine. At very positive potentials (>l V vs. SSCE) in pH 7.4 aqueous buffer, a second oxidation wave is observed for epinephrine, a secondary amine. In contrast, the second oxidation wave is not observed for norepinephrine, a primary amine. The amplitude of the second wave for epinephrine is enhanced when the waveform employed does not allow reduction of the electrogenerated o-quinone back to epinephrine. This indicates that the oxidation process at the second wave must be preceded by adsorption of the o- quinone at the electrode surface. The temporal response of the method was investigated by iontophoretic ejection of catecholamine onto an electrode. The response time was found to be limited by the repetition rate of the cyclic voltammograms (16.7 ms in this work). This electrochemical technique was used to resolve catecholamine release from individual vesicles of cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Most of the adrenal medullary cells released either epinephrine or norepinephrine but 17% of the cells released mixtures of these two compounds. In these cells, each secretory vesicle appeared to contain either epinephrine or norepinephrine.

These new backgrounds are found by application of non-Abelian T-duality (sometimes combined with T-duality) on the supergravity solution dual to the Klebanov-Witten CFT compactified to two dimensions. The field theory aspects encoded by these backgrounds are studied. We give a detailed account of conserved charges, central charges, entanglement entropy and Wilson loops. Further, we present a possible field theory interpretation for our backgrounds.

description: Results from exoplanet surveys indicate that small planets (super-Earth size and below) are abundant in our Galaxy. However, little is known about their interiors and atmospheres. There is therefore a need to find small planets transiting bright stars, which would enable a detailed characterisation of this population of objects. We present the results of a search for the transit of the Earth-mass exoplanet Alpha Centauri Bb with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We observed Alpha Centauri B twice in 2013 and 2014 for a total of 40 hours. We achieve a precision of 115 ppm per 6-s exposure time in a highly-saturated regime, which is found to be consistent across HST orbits. We rule out the transiting nature of Alpha Centauri Bb with the orbital parameters published in the literature at 96.6% confidence. We find in our data a single transit-like event that could be associated to another Earth-size planet in the system, on a longer period orbit. Our program demonstrates the ability of HST to obtain consistent, high-precision photometry of saturated stars over 26 hours of continuous observations.

A Comparison of the Eigenvalue Method and The Geometric Mean Procedure for Ratio Scaling
Creators: name: Zwick, Rami
name: Rapoport, Amnon
name: Budescu, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1986

description: The development of analytical procedures and experimental techniques for
constructing ratio measurement scales has long been a major topic and important
challenge in psychophysics and other areas of psychology. The interest in ratio
scales is obviously related to their high level of invariance (unique up to a
similarity transformation) and the associated statistical operations they allow
one to perform (Stevens, 1946). To obtain ratio scales, Stevens and his colleagues "
(Stevens, Mack, & Stevens, 1960) developed the "cross modality matching" paradigm,
which was originally applied to variables with a corresponding physical continuum
and later generalized to social and other psychological stimuli (e.g., Lodge, 'a
1981). Although Stevens' techniques have been widely used in numerous areas
(e.g., Stevens, 1972, 1975; Lodge, 1981), their precise characterization is
still a topic of debate among measurement specialists (e.g., Shepard, 1981).

description: Using a Keldysh formalism, we study supercurrent (SC) transport in several types of diffusive ferromagnet(F)/superconductor(S) configurations. We separate out the even- and odd-frequency components and identify the relative contributions from the singlet and triplet channels. We first consider 1D Josephson structures consisting of a uniform SFFS structure and a trilayer SFFFS configuration. Our results demonstrate that for SCs flowing perpendicular to the FF interfaces, incorporating a conical texture yields the most effective way to observe the signatures of the long-ranged SC. We also consider three different types of finite-sized 2D structures subjected to an applied magnetic field: a uniform SFS junction, and two SFFS configurations with differing FF bilayer arrangements. In one case, the FF interface is parallel with the SF interfaces while in the other case, the FF junction is oriented perpendicular to the SF interfaces. For the uniform SFS junction, we analytically derive the magnetic field induced SC and pair potential, providing insight into the variations of the critical SCs and proximity vortices. Our extensive computations demonstrate that the induced long-range SCs can penetrate deeply into uniform FF bilayers when singlet SCs flow parallel to the FF interfaces which is in stark contrast to configurations where SC flows perpendicular to the FF interfaces. We pinpoint the origin of the induced triplet and singlet correlations through spatial profiles of the decomposed total SCs. We find that the penetration of the long-range SCs associated with SCs flowing parallel to the FF interfaces, are more pronounced when the thickness of the F strips are unequal. Lastly, we show that the corresponding experimentally accessible SFFN spin valve presents an effective platform in which the predicted long-range effects can be effectively generated and probed.

Conditional Scores and Optimal Scores for Generalized Linear Measurement- Error Models

Year: 1987

description: In this paper we study estimation of the parameters of generalized
linear models In canonical form when the explanatory vector is measured
with independent normal error. For the functional case, i.e., when the
explanatory vectors are fixed constants, unbiased score functions are
obtained by conditioning on certain sufficient statistics. This work
generalizes results obtained by the authors (Stefanski & Carroll, 1986) for
logistic regression. In the case that the explanatory vectors are independent
and identically distributed with unknown distribution, efficient score
functions are obtained using the theory developed in Begun et al. (1983).
Related results can be found in Bickel & Ritov (1986).

description: In this paper, we show that the supernova remnant (SNR) masses cumulated from core-collapse supernovae along the star formation history of two powerful z=3.8 radio galaxies 4C41.17 and TN J2007-1316 reach up to > 10^9 Msun, comparable with supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses measured from the SDSS sample at similar redshifts. The SNR mass is measured from the already exploded supernova mass after subtraction of ejecta at the galaxy age where the mass of still luminous stars fits at best the observed spectral energy distribution (SED), continuously extended to the optical-Spitzer-Herschel-submm domains, with the help of the galaxy evolution model Pégase.3. For the recent and old stellar populations, SNR masses vary on 10^(9 to 10) Msun and the SNR-to-star mass ratio between 1 and 0.1 percent is comparable to the observed low-z SMBH-to-star mass ratio. For the template radio galaxy 4C41.17, SNR and stellar population masses estimated from large aperture (>4arcsec=30kpc) observations are compatible, within one mass order, with the total mass of multiple optical HST (~700pc) structures, associated with VLA radio emissions, both at 0.1 arcsec. Probing the SNR accretion by central black holes is a simple explanation for SMBH growth, requiring physics on star formation, stellar and galaxy dynamics with consequences on various processes (quenching, mergers, negative feedback) and a key to the relation bulge-SMBH.

Models for the oxidation of silicon
Creators: name: Murray, Royce
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: There exists a variety of books and reviews on the subject of thermal oxidation (for
example see references 1-5). A large fraction of the published work deals with the oxidation
of metals with the obvious applications to the very important subjects of corrosion and
metallurgical property alterations. Recently, two reviews on oxidation appeared in the
literature(5,6) which contain separate treatments of the oxidation of silicon and one very
recent review of silicon oxidation(7). It will be unavoidable to overlap with some of the
issues raised in these past reviews as they are both extensive and learned. It is, however,
the intention of the present review to stay wholly within the confines of the area of silicon
oxidation and to remain in view of only the electronics applications and implications of the
Si-SiO2 system, where SiO 2 is in thin film form and the Si substrate is the high quality
single crystal material that is used for the production of Si based devices for
microelectronics. These restrictions elevate the priority of special issues to be treated in
more detail in the present review. For example, we will need to deal with the following
phenomena: chemical reaction on a Si surface rather than bulk reactions; the transport of an
oxidant through an amorphous thin film rather than through bulk crystalline matter; the
mechanical properties of thin films on substrates; the prevailing electronic situation at the
Si-Si02 and Si02-02 interfaces, in terms of interfacial and bulk charges; and impurities, both unwanted impurities and others that are necessary to the technology (so-called dopants),
with both kinds often greatly affecting the mechanism of the oxidation of Si. These issues
provide the focus for the present review and indeed many of the experimental studies of the
oxidation of Si support the importance of these unique aspects of the Si oxidation problem.
These studies will be discussed and the results will be used to provide a reference data set
from which to judge the veracity of the various proposed Si oxidation models.

L'article aborde cette question en analysant les incidents qui émaillent la constitution d'une base de données dans le cadre d'une enquête quantitative et qualitative. La recherche porte sur les embarras que rencontre la parole religieuse alors qu'elle résonne dans l'espace public de deux pays sécularisés, la Suisse et la France, à propos d'enjeux relatifs au genre. L'analyse revient sur les écarts entre le raisonnement ethnographique, les savoirs pratiques des acteurs sociaux et la logique formelle qui préside à la conception d'une base de données. Elle passe en revue la contingence historique du matériau empirique, issu d'émissions de radio, et sa valeur très relative pour les journalistes qui l'ont produit ; les ambiguïtés inhérentes au codage, entre sémantique des énoncés et savoirs d'arrière-plan des acteurs ; la tension entre une description fine des qualifications issues du monde social et les injonctions de formalisation, inhérentes au codage.

description: Ethnographers exploring the mysteries of a database How do ethnographers code ? This article addresses this question by analyzing the incidents that punctuated the constitution of a database within the framework of a quantitative and qualitative survey. The research focuses on the embarrassment surrounding religious speech with regard to gender issues, as it resonates in the public space of two secularized countries, Switzerland and France. The analysis revisits the gaps between ethnographic reasoning, the practical knowledge of social actors and the formal logic governing the design of a database. It reviews the historical contingency of the empirical material derived from radio broadcasts, and its questionable value for the journalists who produce it ; the ambiguities involved in coding activity, from the semantics of the statements to the background knowledge of the actors ; and finally the tension between a thick description of the social qualities of this data and the injunctions to formalization inherent to coding. Ultimately, it is the very notion of "data" that is questioned. keywords : database, controversies, enunciation, ethnography, gender and religion, public sphere, pragmatism, radio.

description: The electron transfer kinetics of monolayers of CpFeCpC02(CH2)12SH and
CH3(CH2)USH co-chemisorbed on gold electrodes have been measured in 2:1 (v:v)
chloroethane/butyronitrile solvent at temperatures ranging from 125K to 175K with
potential steps and cyclic voltammetry. Rate constants, k°, measured using cyclic
voltammetry range from 3x10-4 to 10-1 s-1 over these temperatures; an activation plot of
log[k°/kbT1/2] vs. 1/T gave λ = 0.89 eV for the reorganization energy for the Cp2Fe+/0
reaction and a pre-factor of 6.5xl06 eV-1s-1. The rate constants were obtained by comparison
of experimental ΔEPEAK values with those of cyclic voltammograms digitally simulated with
Marcus-DOS theory. A value of λ = 0.76 eV is predicted from dielectric continuum theory.
The CpFeCpC02(CH2)12SH monolayers are kinetically inhomogeneous (disperse) as shown
by non-linear ln[i] vs. time plots in potential step experiments. The kinetic dispersity has
adverse effects on determinations of λ values from cyclic voltammetric waveshapes and from
plots of potential step-derived rate constants, kapp,η, against overpotential (η), producing
depressed values for λ.

description: Spirituality in education is a contested topic. This is certainly true for Switzerland where there has been avid media-led debate about teacher religiosity / spirituality and their influence on educational practices. This puts highly spiritual Swiss teachers in a dilemma: How can they integrate their spirituality in the classroom without causing controversy? The research literature indicates that spirituality is a complex phenomenon that generally has positive effects on teacher identity and pedagogical practice. Spirituality has also been shown to be a protective factor and a factor for greater well-being for teachers. Furthermore, spirituality can function as an alternative way of knowing in a school system that is largely defined by rationalism. However, teachers may choose to hide the spiritual aspect of their identity, because spirituality is a contested topic in public schools. While spirituality in education has received greater attention in recent years in various countries such as the UK, the US or Australia, the topic is practically non-existent in the public school sector of Switzerland. The present study used the qualitative method of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). A repeat-interview process allowed for in-depth analysis and interpretation of the subjective lived experience of six Swiss secondary school teachers’ spirituality and its influence on their teaching practices. It is the first qualitative study on teacher spirituality in secular school settings in Switzerland. Its findings shed new light on this aspect of Swiss education and thus complement the existing literature. iv The key findings of this study were that spirituality is an important protective factor as well as a potent coping strategy for highly spiritual teachers. Spirituality is a key aspect of their teacher identity and a valid alternative way of knowing, but they implement spirituality often only through covert or indirect ways in the classroom. While they would wish to be able to implement it more directly, they feel that this is often not permissible. They perceive spirituality as a taboo topic in Swiss education and actively suppress aspects of it. However, they reported that the interview process helped them to reflect on and appreciate spirituality in education.
Robust and High-Resolution Study of Chromatin Spatial Organization via Joint Modeling of Single Cell Imaging and Hi-C Sequencing Data

description: My research will focus on the development of statistical and computational framework that jointly models Hi-C sequencing data and single cell imaging data to study chromatin spatial organization. The ultimate goal of my project is to leverage the genome-wide Hi-C data and high-resolution single cell level imaging data to generate more robust and high-resolution inference of chromatin conformation and to gain more complete understanding of cell-type specific chromatin spatial architecture. We hypothesize that combining imaging and sequencing data will help to more accurately detect interactions between genes and their distal regulatory sequences that either regulate (including enhancing, repressing or even silence) the expression of the genes. We anticipate that the single cell imaging data with cell-type specific information will provide meaningful refinement to existing analysis done with only Hi-C sequencing data. Such refinement or resolution inference will, among others, allow us to narrow down the regulator regions and even to pinpoint to individual causal genetic variants. We leverage innovative statistical methods to effectively integrate information from both sources (detailed in Methods section below). In addition, further investigation may be done to compare different weight functions and fine tuning of parameters to optimize our proposed model

description:  The best-known phenotype that correlates with seemingly unrelated airway diseases, such as COPD, asthma, and cystic fibrosis (CF), is the accumulation of thick, “sticky” mucus in the airways. Previous literature has shown1 that proper hydration of both mucus and periciliary layer (PCL) is required for efficient mucus clearance and that abnormalities in both layers are manifested in lung diseases (Fig. 1). Adherent mucus initiates inflammatory responses, airway wall damage, and serves as a growth medium for pathogenic microorganisms. Mucus is dominated by two large, heavily glycosylated mucin proteins, MUC5B and MUC5AC. It has been recently hypothesized that different airway diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and asthma have different ratios of MUC5AC to MUC5B expression. The hypothesis of this proposal that will be tested is that mucus in MUC5AC-dominated diseases clears differently from mucus in MUC5B-dominated diseases due to differences in their biophysical properties

description: In this work, we use a well-defined model for studying electrocatalytic reactions at metal nanoparticles (NPs) in contact with metal oxide thin films using the synergy between predictive theory and confirming experiments. The goal of this work is to build an in-depth understanding of strong metal-support interactions (SMSI) and their effect on electrocatalytic reactions that are of critical importance for the production and use of chemical fuels. These reactions are electrocatalytic reduction of oxygen (ORR) and oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO). The work described herein uses a robust experimental model that allows us to study SMSI and their effect on electrocatalytic reactions in the absence and presence of direct contact between NP and metal oxide thin film. We started by using a theory-first approach in which density functional theory (DFT) predicted enhanced ORR activity on AuNPs supported on TiO₂(110). The experimental results were in quantitative agreement with DFT, where we observed a positive shift in ORR onset potential and a change in the number of effective electrons transferred when Au₁₄₇ NPs were in direct contact with TiO [subscript x] (x = 1.9 or 2.0) thin film compared to when the support interactions were absent. We wished to expand the complexity of the theory required for comparison to experiments. Hence, we chose to investigate the CO electrooxidation reaction, which requires two descriptors rather than the single descriptor used for the ORR for DFT analysis. Accordingly, we experimentally studied the effects of TiO [subscript x] (x = 1.9 or 2.0) thin film supports on the electrocatalytic activity of Au₁₄₇ NPs or Pt₅₅ NPs towards the CO electrooxidation reaction. Finally, we further expanded our understanding of SMSI by shifting our focus from oxygen vacancy to metal vacancy containing metal oxide thin films. We experimentally studied the effects of Ni₀.₉O thin film supports on the electrocatalytic activity of PtNPs towards the CO electrooxidation reaction. We observed a negative shift in CO oxidation peak potential when PtNPs were in contact with Ni₀.₉O thin films compared to when support interactions were absent. The experimentally observed results were validated with first principle theory calculations.

description: Several scenarios have been proposed to explain the presence of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters. Many of them invoke multiple generations of stars to explain the observed chemical abundance anomalies, but it has also been suggested that self-enrichment could occur via accretion of ejecta from massive stars onto the circumstellar disc of low-mass pre-main sequence stars. These scenarios imply different initial conditions for the kinematics of the various stellar populations. Given some net angular momentum initially, models for which a second generation forms from gas that collects in a cooling flow into the core of the cluster predict an initially larger rotational amplitude for the polluted stars compared to the pristine stars. This is opposite to what is expected from the accretion model, where the polluted stars are the ones crossing the core and are on preferentially radial (low-angular momentum) orbits, such that their rotational amplitude is lower. Here we present the results of a suite of $N$-body simulations with initial conditions chosen to capture the distinct kinematic properties of these pollution scenarios. We show that initial differences in the kinematics of polluted and pristine stars can survive to the present epoch in the outer parts of a large fraction of Galactic globular clusters. The differential rotation of pristine and polluted stars is identified as a unique kinematic signature that could allow us to distinguish between various scenarios, while other kinematic imprints are generally very similar from one scenario to the other.
