description: Access to early gestational placental tissue in humans is constrained by a host of ethical challenges. As a result, early events of placentation and fetal development are poorly understood. The need for superior modelling capabilities has sparked interest in tissue-derived organoids in a translational animal model. Using tissue derived from rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta) as a model system is favorable due to their structural and developmental similarities to the human placenta, and their ability to alleviate ethical concerns. Organoids are 3-dimensional cell cultures that assemble into miniature versions of their parent tissue. This makes them an invaluable tool for in vitro studies. Placental organoids can be generated by collecting proliferative cytotrophoblast cells from early gestational timepoints. These cells retain their stemness and can organize into organoids expressing cytotrophoblast (CTB) and syncytiotrophoblast (SYN) cell types. Crucially, placental organoids can be induced to differentiate into extravillous trophoblast (EVT), which are the cell phenotype responsible for anchoring the placenta to the maternal decidua. One caveat of trophoblast organoids is the inversion between their SYN and CTB cell layers. As the maternal/fetal blood barrier, SYN reside outside CTB in normal placentae, whereas in organoids they are found in the innermost layers. SYN are responsible for oxygen, nutrient, and waste exchange between the mother and fetus. Proper exterior presentation of SYN will allow manipulation of in vitro conditions and facilitate effective functional studies. Developing trophoblast organoid models from the Rhesus macaque which are meticulously characterized and validated will be important for discovery and innovation. Correcting polarity alongside characterization will offer an incredibly powerful tool for researchers to examine questions around early placental development, as well as assaying what external stimuli (e.g., drugs, virus) can cross or impact the function of the maternal/fetal barrier, and yield insight into the mechanisms of placentation and maternal blood supply.

description: We use measurements of the stellar mass function, galaxy clustering, and galaxy-galaxy lensing within the COSMOS survey to constrain the stellar-to-halo mass relation (SHMR) of star forming and quiescent galaxies over the redshift range z=[0.2,1.0]. For massive galaxies, M*>~10^10.6 Msol, our results indicate that star-forming galaxies grow proportionately as fast as their dark matter halos while quiescent galaxies are outpaced by dark matter growth. At lower masses, there is minimal difference in the SHMRs, implying that the majority low-mass quiescent galaxies have only recently been quenched of their star formation. Our analysis also affords a breakdown of all COSMOS galaxies into the relative numbers of central and satellite galaxies for both populations. At z=1, satellite galaxies dominate the red sequence below the knee in the stellar mass function. But the number of quiescent satellites exhibits minimal redshift evolution; all evolution in the red sequence is due to low-mass central galaxies being quenched of their star formation. At M*~10^10 Msol, the fraction of central galaxies on the red sequence increases by a factor of ten over our redshift baseline, while the fraction of quenched satellite galaxies at that mass is constant with redshift. We define a "migration rate" to the red sequence as the time derivative of the passive galaxy abundances. We find that the migration rate of central galaxies to the red sequence increases by nearly an order of magnitude from z=1 to z=0. These results imply that the efficiency of quenching star formation for centrals is increasing with cosmic time, while the mechanisms that quench the star formation of satellite galaxies in groups and clusters is losing efficiency.

description: The shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) are believed to accelerate particles to cosmic ray (CR) energies. The amplification of the magnetic field due to CRs propagating in the shock region is expected to have an impact on both the emission from the accelerated particle population, as well as the acceleration process itself. Using a 95 ks observation with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory, we map and characterize the synchrotron emitting material in the northwestern region of RCW 86. We model spectra from several different regions, filamentary and diffuse alike, where emission appears dominated by synchrotron radiation. The fine spatial resolution of Chandra allows us to obtain accurate emission profiles across 3 different non-thermal rims in this region. The narrow width (l = 10''-30'') of these filaments constrains the minimum magnetic field strength at the post-shock region to be approximately 80 μG.

description: Objectives: The objective of this study is to describe the user experience (usability) of a gamified psychoacoustic task via the Portable Automated Rapid Testing (PART) iPad application among participants ranging in age, hearing level, and Traumatic Brain Injury history (TBI). Design: Two Spatial Release from Masking (SRM) tasks were delivered over calibrated headphones via the PART iPad application. The SRM tests used target and masking sentences from the Coordinate Response Measure (CRM) speech corpus (Bolia et al., 2000). 32 participants completed a gamified version of the SRM and a non-gamified version in random order. All participants completed the usability survey, assessing their experience with the gamified task. A subset of participants (n=24) provided open-ended feedback. Quantitative and free-response data were analyzed to identify potential patterns in factors such as age, hearing loss, and TBI history. Results: The difference between the colocated and separated conditions (SMR) on the two tests was similar (r=0.66, p<0.001). No significant associations were identified in terms of participants’ experience and their age, TBI history, self-reported hearing loss, or objective (audiometric) hearing loss. Survey data revealed that most participants enjoyed their experience playing the game (M=3.51, SD=1.07) and most reported they felt engaged with the story of the game (M=3.43, SD=1.07). Positive correlations between survey items indicated a potential relationship between reported enjoyment of visual elements of the game and positive user experience. The most common free-response experiences reported were that the gamified SRM task had unclear instructions (n=14), and distracting elements (n=5), and that it was challenging (n=6). Conclusion: The data in this study will help inform future iterations of gamified psychoacoustic tests by optimizing a human-centered design process, particularly when including populations, such as those with various disorders or TBI.

description: It remains a substantial challenge to model psychopathology using neuroimaging data. High rates of comorbidity and heterogeneity between and within psychiatric disorders make predictive modeling especially challenging. To address this challenge, we model psychopathology using the well-established P-factor. Furthermore, psychiatric disorders do not, themselves, reflect singular neurobiological processes. Therefore, we attempt to improve our ability to predict psychopathology by transferring knowledge from individual models trained to predict elements of executive function, cognitive processes associated with psychopathology, including working-memory, set-shifting, and inhibitory control. These analyses included 6037 children aged 9 and 10 from the Adolescent Brain and Cognitive Development Study that possessed adequate resting-state fMRI, T1 MRI, and relevant assessment data. The P-factor was generated using a well-established factor structure from the literature. Neural networks were trained to predict working-memory, set-shifting, inhibitory control, and the P-factor itself. The latter model was compared to a model in which the individual networks of executive function were stacked and re-trained to predict the P-factor. The data was partitioned into ten unique sets of train, test, and validation (ratio 4:1:1). Neural networks performed significantly better than traditional supervised machine learning algorithms (Lasso and Partial Least Squares Regression) in predicting components of executive function (p’s < .001). Each of these models was also evaluated individually for significance by evaluating against 1000 permuted models (all p’s < .001). Furthermore, the model trained via transfer learning to predict psychopathology performed significantly better (p < .001) than that of the model trained to predict the p-factor directly. The given analyses suggest that utilizing strategies like transfer learning may improve the potential utility of neuroimaging data, in combination with other known risk factors, for clinical prediction of risk for psychopathology.

description: Background: Central nervous system infections, like brain abscesses and subdural or epidural empyema, in pediatric patients are life-threatening and rapid treatment is necessary to prevent significant morbidity and mortality. Late into the COVID-19 pandemic, Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU)/Doernbecher Children’s Hospital (DCH) hospitalized several pediatric patients with sinusitis and/or orbital cellulitis with intracranial infections including brain abscess and epidural or subdural empyema's. The goal of this study was to report our institutional experience with intracranial infections before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A retrospective review of patients presenting with an intracranial infection at OHSU/DCH from 09/2015 to 12/2022 was conducted. Patients >28 days and <21 years-old at the time of surgical treatment were included, while those suspected to originate from an operative procedure, or a chronic immunosuppression were excluded. Results: Thirty-six patients with intracranial infections that required surgical intervention were identified. The median age was 9 years-old with a range of 1 month-old to 18 years-old. Common presenting symptoms were a fever (n=30, 80%), headaches (n=25, 69%) and mental status change (n=23, 64%). These patients were managed operatively with neurosurgery (n=32, 89%), otolaryngology (n=22, 61%) and ophthalmology (n=2, 6%). Cultures grew streptococcus (n=29, 80%), staphylococcus (n=4, 11%), or other (n=14, 39%) microorganisms. Most common residual symptoms included hemiplegia/paresis (n=11, 31%) while recurrence requiring reoperation occurred 17% (n=6). Pre-pandemic (2015-2019) average rate of infection was 4.2 (range 2-6) compared to post pandemic 5 (range 1-12). In 2022, the rate increased to n=12 which represents a 2.9x increase from the pre-covid average of 4.2 cases/year. Conclusion: Pediatric intracranial infections that require surgical intervention are rare. However, in 2022, we experienced an institutional increase of 2.9x the rate of pre-pandemic infections. This trend aligns with national incidence data reported by the Center for Disease Control in August 2022. Such a trend may be due to virulence changes in treatment-resistant Streptococcus anginosus or host immune factors secondary to isolation during the COVID pandemic.

description: Background: HIV/AIDS is a chronic disease that causes increased inflammation and decreased immune function within people living with HIV (PLWH). A majority of PLWH are women; however, very little research has focused on the unique metabolic changes that occur in women living with HIV (WLWH). While HIV was once considered fatal, current antiretroviral therapy (ART) treatments can effectively control viral loads and allow PLWH to have near-normal life expectancy. This causes WLWH to experience age-related hormonal changes known to have systemic metabolic effects, such as estrogen deficiency associated with menopause. Increased age, inflammation, and hormonal changes are all associated with similar comorbidities, leaving WLWH at higher risk for developing chronic metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Methods: In order to understand the impact of infection on WLWH, a non-human primate (NHP) model was developed utilizing female rhesus macaques. The animals were infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and an ART regimen began two weeks post-infection. The female macaques are monitored weekly for weights, viral load, and complete blood count. Additional metabolic measurements include longitudinal food intake, biopsies, and dual x-ray absorptiometry scans for the analysis of body composition. Results: Average body weights significantly decreased by 10% within seven weeks of infection and rebounded as viral loads became undetectable. Although fluctuation in average weights occurred, no notable difference was recorded in food consumption, lean mass, or fat mass compositions between or at infection and suppression, respectively. Conclusion: This model demonstrates that the viral infection decreases body weight in female NHPs, with a rebound in body weight as viral load decreases. Currently, further research is underway to explore the post-menopausal hormone deficiency on these NHP subjects. This complex model allows for a unique insight into the metabolic changes that occur when hormone- and viremia-related changes occur in WLWH.

description: We investigate the proximity-induced exchange coupling in transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), originating from spin injector geometries composed of hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN) and ferromagnetic (FM) cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni), from first-principles. We employ a minimal tight-binding Hamiltonian that captures the low energy bands of the TMDCs around K and K' valleys, to extract orbital, spin-orbit, and exchange parameters. The TMDC/hBN/FM heterostructure calculations show that due to the hBN buffer layer, the band structure of the TMDC is preserved, with an additional proximity-induced exchange splitting in the bands. We extract proximity exchange parameters in the 1-10 meV range, depending on the FM. The combination of proximity-induced exchange and intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of the TMDCs, leads to a valley polarization, translating into magnetic exchange fields of tens of Tesla. The extracted parameters are useful for subsequent exciton calculations of TMDCs in the presence of a hBN/FM spin injector. Our calculated absorption spectra show a large splitting of the first exciton peak; in the case of MoS$_2$/hBN/Co we find a value of about 8 meV, corresponding to about 50 Tesla external magnetic field in bare TMDCs. The reason lies in the band structure, where a hybridization with Co $d$ orbitals causes a giant valence band exchange splitting of more than 10 meV. Structures with Ni do not show any $d$ level hybridization features, but still sizeable proximity exchange and exciton peak splittings of around 2 meV are present in the TMDCs.

description: We prove that line solitons of the two-dimensional hyperbolic nonlinear Schrödinger equation are unstable with respect to transverse perturbations of arbitrarily small periods, {\em i.e.}, short waves. The analysis is based on the construction of Jost functions for the continuous spectrum of Schrödinger operators, the Sommerfeld radiation conditions, and the Lyapunov--Schmidt decomposition. Precise asymptotic expressions for the instability growth rate are derived in the limit of short periods.

description: The number of licensed U.S. dairy herds fell by more than half between 2002 and 2019, with an accelerating rate of decline in 2018 and 2019, even as milk production continued to grow. As a result, production has been shifting to much larger but fewer farms. Larger operations realize lower costs of production, on average, and those advantages persist. This structural change also features shifts in the location of dairy farming and in the production practices used on farms. This report, following upon two earlier ERS reports on the subject, details how the dairy sector has been transformed, and assesses the financial and productive factors behind that transformation.

description: By analogy with the solar system, it is believed that stellar winds will form bow shocks around exoplanets. For hot Jupiters the bow shock will not form directly between the planet and the star, causing an asymmetric distribution of mass around the exoplanet and hence an asymmetric transit. As the planet orbits thorough varying wind conditions, the strength and geometry of its bow shock will change, thus producing transits of varying shape. We model this process using magnetic maps of HD 189733 taken one year apart, coupled with a 3D stellar wind model, to determine the local stellar wind conditions throughout the orbital path of the planet. We predict the time-varying geometry and density of the bow shock that forms around the magnetosphere of the planet and simulate transit light curves. Depending on the nature of the stellar magnetic field, and hence its wind, we find that both the transit duration and ingress time can vary when compared to optical light curves. We conclude that consecutive near-UV transit light curves may vary significantly and can therefore provide an insight into the structure and evolution of the stellar wind.

description: The electronic structure of BaTi2As2O, a parent compound of the newly discovered titanium-based oxypnictide superconductors, is studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. The electronic structure shows multi-orbital nature and possible three-dimensional character. An anomalous temperature-dependent spectral weight redistribution and broad lineshape indicate the incoherent nature of the spectral function. At the density-wave-like transition temperature around 200 K, a partial gap opens at the Fermi patches. These findings suggest that BaTi2As2O is likely a charge density wave material in the strong interaction regime.

description: This project engaged with the Occupational Health Department at OHSU with a goal of making occupational health services more equitable across the states of Oregon and Washington, particularly for new hires being onboarded to meet employment requirements before starting a new job. All OHSU employees, contractors, volunteers, and students are required to complete or provide a record that they fulfill their Occupational Health compliance requirements (i.e., immunization and respiratory fit testing). As occupational health resources are only available at the Marquam Hill campus, OHSU staff employed outside of the Portland-Metro area may be facing an inequitable burden and/or expense. To appropriately address this problem, our team conducted geographic information system (GIS) analysis using OHSU employment databases, surveyed and interviewed for current employees in hiring roles across the organization, and investigated several possible innovative avenues to provide occupational health services to OHSU employees far from the Marquam Hill Campus. Our analysis showed that OHSU would be best served by partnering with existing health care organizations already offering occupational health services in key areas where there are concentrations of OHSU employees, as well as devote resources to streamlining the hiring process and providing clarity about occupational health requirements and resources to all OHSU employees in a hiring role.

description: Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) utilizes diverse data visualization tools but lacks standardized decision-making and a formal governance structure to prioritize these tools which can lead to inefficient use of resources and increased expenses. This project aimed to establish a system-level approach for effective dashboard resource allocation. For comparative analysis, we evaluated two dashboard platforms targeted at similar data at OHSU– GE Healthcare Mission Control, which monitors inpatient capacity, and the OHSU Connected Care Center (C3), which monitors outpatient capacity. We performed a Business Case Analysis to review the overall decision-making process for Mission Control versus C3’s dashboard and a Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis for Mission Control. For future decisions on dashboards to be made efficiently and equitably, there must be a governance structure that includes diverse stakeholders to clearly define proposed dashboards, criteria for analytics, and dashboard management and communications.

description: Background: Virtual reality (VR) is a modern technology that is currently receiving attention in many studies on how it can be used to support learning in schools. It is expected to have various benefits for learning physics. However, little attention has been given to the implementation of VR with a VR headset and to the three-dimensionality of the representations that VR technology can provide. Purpose: We designed a three-dimensional VR learning environment for Microsoft HoloLens for learning the con-cepts of the electric field and the electric potential. In the present paper, we show preliminary results of a first inter-vention study with 26 high school students. With self-developed test instruments, we evaluate the learning progress through the VR intervention. In addition, we explore how the students rate the usability of the VR headset and the VR learning environment. Sample/Setting: We tested our VR learning environment on two classes of a high school in Bern, Switzerland. We collected and analysed data from 26 students aged 17 to 20 from an intervention study of 75 minutes. The use of the VR learning environment was 15 minutes. Design and Methods: In a pre- and posttest design, we investigated the effect of the VR learning environment on students’ understanding of the electric field and potential. In addition, we asked questions and evaluated the answers regarding the students’ experience with the VR headset and the VR learning environment. Results: Students made significant learning progress by using the VR learning environment: Cohen’s d = .89. The learning progress was better in items that were similar to those of the VR learning environment, but problems occurred when students were asked to transfer their knowledge to the field of electric charges. Most students considered the technology of the VR headset as good to handle and the VR learning environment to be very interesting and beneficial for their learning process. Conclusions: Our VR learning environment seems to be suitable for learning, which is shown by the fact that students progressed from the pretest to the posttest. However, further research needs to address the question of whether stu-dents learn better with a VR headset than on computers or with paper and pencil.

description: The Doernbecher Gender Clinic (DGC) at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) plays a vital role in providing comprehensive care to gender-diverse youth and their families. However, the clinic is facing significant challenges in meeting the growing demand for services due to various limitations. The surge in referrals and patient volume, coupled with structural, resource, and organizational constraints, has highlighted the need for improvements to ensure prompt and quality care. Additionally, transgender, and non-binary youth, who already face high rates of mental health issues, require specialized support that the current program design of DGC may not adequately address given capacity limitations. The purpose of this project is to complete a market and financial analysis to create a framework to show the value of adding more behavioral health staff, explore the extent of revenue generation and capture rates, and supply recommendations on how to sustain needed growth while keeping the commitment of the program to equitable access to care. Additionally, the project considers the implications of growth and alternative structural models for the clinic and a proforma to calculate the financial implications of this growth. Research methods included primary research in the form of interviews with several Academic Medical Centers, billing and finance experts at OHSU, a site visit, and an exhaustive literature review.

Reggeon Field Theory for Large Pomeron Loops

description: We analyze the range of applicability of the high energy Reggeon Field Theory $H_{RFT}$ derived in [1]. We show that this theory is valid as long as at any intermediate value of rapidity $η$ throughout the evolution at least one of the colliding objects is dilute. Importantly, at some values of $η$ the dilute object could be the projectile, while at others it could be the target, so that $H_{RFT}$ does not reduce to either $H_{JIMWLK}$ or $H_{KLWMIJ}$. When both objects are dense, corrections to the evolution not accounted for in [1] become important. The same limitation applies to other approaches to high energy evolution available today, such as for example [3] and [4]. We also show that, in its regime of applicability $H_{RFT}$ can be simplified. We derive the simpler version of $H_{RFT}$ and in the large $N_c$ limit rewrite it in terms of the Reggeon creation and annihilation operators. The resulting $H_{RFT}$ is explicitly self dual and provides the generalization of the Pomeron calculus developed in [4] by including higher Reggeons in the evolution. It is applicable for description of `large' Pomeron loops, namely Reggeon graphs where all the splittings occur close in rapidity to one dilute object (projectile), while all the merging close to the other one (target). Additionally we derive, in the same regime expressions for single and double inclusive gluon production (where the gluons are not separated by a large rapidity interval) in terms of the Reggeon degrees of freedom.

description: Hillsboro Medical Center (HMC), a community hospital serving Oregon’s western Washington County, engaged a team of Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) Healthcare Administration graduate students to assess endoscopy center operations during the spring of 2023. HMC’s objective was to understand the financial and operational impacts of transitioning all esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy procedures to a monitored anesthesia care (MAC) sedation model. The scope of the team’s evaluation included comparing current practices with local and national endoscopy sedation standards, analyzing the financial and operational effects of a MAC sedation model, and exploring non-sedation related opportunities for operational improvement at the facility. The OHSU team interviewed HMC employees and local healthcare institutions, conducted an extensive literature review, and performed an introductory financial and operational data analysis.

description: This report is to provide Vancouver Clinic and Humana with strategic direction for successfully expanding the partnership’s medical footprint through the growth of Medicare Advantage alliance clinics. The scope of this project focuses on what lessons were learned from the Gresham location through interviews with staff, brokers, and leadership, and from the research turn that into a best practice guide for opening new locations such as the clinic in Happy Valley. These best practices also include strategies to convert the partnership's target demographic to Humana members and then align them with a Vancouver Clinic medical home. The recommendations in this report are made to influence three core goals: attract, grow, and retain patient membership at the partnered alliance clinic. Consideration was made to the short and long-term goals of the clinic, namely a transition to value-based care. Recommendations include fostering a growth-oriented provider relationship management plan, implementing a bilateral member-conversion strategy, and developing a competitive advantage through oral health integration.
Cosmological dependence of the measurements of luminosity function, projected clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing signal

description: Observables such as the luminosity function of galaxies, Φ(M), the projected clustering of galaxies, w_p(r_p), and the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal, ΔΣ, are often measured from galaxy redshift surveys assuming a fiducial cosmological model for calculating distances to and between galaxies. There is a growing number of studies that perform joint analyses of these measurements and constrain cosmological parameters. We quantify the amount by which such measurements systematically vary as the fiducial cosmology used for the measurements is changed, and show that these effects can be significant at high redshifts (z~0.5). We present a simple way that maps the measurements made using a particular fiducial cosmological model to any other cosmological model. Cosmological constraints (or halo occupation distribution constraints) that use the luminosity function, clustering measurements and galaxy-galaxy lensing signal but ignore these systematic effects may underestimate the confidence intervals on the inferred parameters.

description: A rede 5G apresenta inicialmente como avanço para redução de CAPEX e OPEX o emprego de uma arquitetura centralizada para o processamento de funções de banda base em um pool de nuvem. No entanto, realizar a centralização acarreta em sérios desafios na rede de acesso fronthaul relacionados ao atraso estrito e a alta exigência por largura de banda. Assim, várias alternativas promissoras são propostas para mitigar estes problemas, dentre elas está o particionamento funcional e o uso de arquiteturas híbridas. Nesta apresentação para o Wepgcomp, nós apresentamos como a academia e a indústria estão atacando o problema da centralização do processamento de banda base, conceitos e implementações já realizada para o particionamento flexível de funções centrados no estado da rede e na eficiência energética, resultados de pesquisas, além de as metas e as direções de pesquisa.

description: We present predictions for the inclusive productions of the D meson originating from bottom hadrons at the CERN LHC in the general-mass variable-flavour-number scheme at next-to-leading order. We present results using two methods to describe the transition for $b\rightarrow D$: a two-step transition $b\rightarrow B \rightarrow D$, based on the $b\rightarrow B$ fragmentation functions and the spectra for $B\rightarrow D$ as measured by CLEO and a one-step transition based on the fragmentation functions for $b\rightarrow D$. The results of both approaches are compared.

description: Medication for opioid use disorder is an established treatment modality for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD). Individuals in rural communities with OUD face significant barriers to methadone treatment in the U.S. Probably the most significant barrier to treatment with methadone is the fact that only 4% of medication units are in rural communities in the United States. In Seaside, Oregon, CODA, a substance abuse treatment clinic, established a medication unit early in 2020 to help more than 300 people struggling with opioid use disorder. Their goal is to expand its patient base and improve access to treatment, CODA plans to partner with a local organization to establish another medication unit. This project used survey data from local stakeholders and local rates of opioid abuse to recommend a suitable location for an additional medication unit in the North Coast Region of Oregon.

description: The identity of a “grasshopper warbler”, discovered on October 4, 2016 at the Maasvlakte, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, was established by means of sequencing DNA that was isolated from a single small fecal sample collected in the field. Based on the sequence of short fragments of the mitochondrial cytochrome B (cytB) gene and three autosomal gene fragments, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), myoglobine (MYO) and ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), the identification as a “pure” Lanceolatad warbler Locustella lanceolata was confirmed. This document describes all technical details and provides the connections between GenBank numbers, FLDO-sample codes, sequence haplotypes and sampling information
