description: The taxonomy of Gymnodinium and the Gymnodiniaceae is inconsistent, because the systematic position of the type species, G. fuscum, is elusive at present. Historical names of microscopic species are frequently ambiguous, making reliable determination difficult, although it is crucial to fully explore the biology of the organisms. We collected material at the type locality of a historical variety, namely Gymnodinium fuscum var. rubrum, var. nov., and established a strain for morphological and molecular studies. The motile cells showed a characteristically obovate shape in outline, with acute antapex, and a horseshoe-shaped apical structure complex, which is characteristic for many Gymnodiniaceae. Older cultivated material further exhibited red granules in the cell, being the name-giving diagnostic character of the variety. In a molecular phylogeny, monophyletic Gymnodiniaceae segregated into seven clades at high taxonomic level. The phylogenetic resolution of the molecular DNA-tree provides evidence for a dynamic evolutionary scenario of Gymnodiniaceae and might prove helpful for an improved classification of the group. As the taxonomic result, we validate and epitypify the historical name, G. fuscum var. rubrum, var. nov., showing diagnostic traits such as a descending (but not straight) cingulum and a reciprocal size ratio between episome and hyposome in comparison to the regular form of G. fuscum.

description: The price structure of the beef-pork sector from the retail level back to the primary production level is evaluated in order to identify areas of inefficient performance. Results indicated efficient pricing performance between the slaughter and the retail levels. Results between the ranch and feedlot levels indicated a weak and distorted price structure. This appeared to be due to the inability of the price system to serve both as a mechanism of trade and as a signal for the organization and timing of future production.
School-Based Asthma Education Program: A Research Translation Project
Creators: name: Lawson, Katherine H
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

Addressing asthma among adolescents is a public health concern due to the greater risk for adverse asthma health outcomes related to increased autonomy with this age group. An examination of current literature indicated that the educational asthma program Kickin’ Asthma effectively improved asthma among adolescents. The implementation of this program among asthmatic adolescents in Henrico, Virginia revealed limited improvement of asthma knowledge, health outcomes, and self-management skills. Additional positive outcomes included active student engagement and participation as well as the desire of the middle school nurse to continue the program and expand implementation.  Further implementation of the Kickin’ Asthma program is necessary to fully evaluate the program’s effectiveness to translate into public health nursing practice and to improve asthma health and related outcomes.

description: Targeted fertilizer subsidies are growing in popularity in Sub-Saharan Africa and are a pillar of the Government of the Republic of Zambia’s (GRZ’s) agricultural sector strategy. For example, over the 2004 to 2011 fiscal years, the budget allocation to the Fertilizer Support Programme (FSP) and its successor, the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP), averaged 40% of the total allocation to the ministries responsible for agriculture, livestock, and fisheries, and 64% of the total budget for agricultural sector poverty reduction programs. However, if subsidized fertilizer is allocated to households that would have otherwise purchased it at commercial prices, then the increase in total fertilizer use as a result of the subsidy program will be negligible. In other words, the change in total fertilizer use depends in part on the extent to which subsidized fertilizer crowds out or displaces commercial fertilizer purchases.

description: Monte Carlo simulations of finite density systems are often plagued by the complex action problem. We point out that there exists certain non-commutativity in the zero chemical potential limit and the thermodynamic limit when one tries to study such systems by reweighting techniques. This is demonstrated by explicit calculations in a Random Matrix Theory, which is thought to be a simple qualitative model for finite density QCD. The factorization method allows us to understand how the non-commutativity, which appears at the intermediate steps, cancels in the end results for physical observables.

description: In a recent paper we have presented an automated subtraction method for divergent multi-loop/leg integrals in dimensional regularisation which allows for their numerical evaluation, and applied it to diagrams with massless internal lines. Here we show how to extend this algorithm to Feynman diagrams with massive propagators and arbitrary propagator powers. As applications, we present numerical results for the master 2-loop 4-point topologies with massive internal lines occurring in Bhabha scattering at two loops, and for the master integrals of planar and non-planar massless double box graphs with two off-shell legs. We also evaluate numerically some two-point functions up to 5 loops relevant for beta-function calculations, and a 3-loop 4-point function, the massless on-shell planar triple box. Whereas the 4-point functions are evaluated in non-physical kinematic regions, the results for the propagator functions are valid for arbitrary kinematics.

Evaluation of Radiation Exposure from Computed Tomography of the Head
Creators: name: vega-woo, nelly
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2014

In an effort to reduce radiation exposure from computed tomography (CT), practitioners and facilities need to monitor radiation exposure while delivering high-quality diagnostic exams. Computed tomography scanners have a range of pre-programmed protocols for different examination types, with set values for tube potential, tube current, and rotation time (American Association of Physicists in Medicine, 2007). One way to minimize a patient’s exposure to radiation from CT is the use of an automatic exposure control (AEC) device. Current research is focusing on these devices and their actual benefits to patients. To assess the effectiveness of such a device, analysis of radiation doses per CT exam must occur. Machine-specific dose-length product (DLP) and or CT dose index (CTDI) are the only indicators of specific dose levels. This project compares current levels of radiation exposure to patients undergoing CT scans of the head, versus the national levels as evaluated by the Nationwide Evaluation of X-ray Trends (NEXT) program.
Key words: Computed tomography, radiation exposure, reducing radiation, monitoring radiation levels, automatic exposure control.

description: Low energy linear seesaw mechanism responsible for the generation of the tiny active neutrino masses, is implemented in the extended 3-3-1 model with two scalar triplets and right handed Majorana neutrinos where the gauge symmetry is supplemented by the $A_4$ flavor discrete group and other auxiliary cyclic symmetries, whose spontaneous breaking produces the observed pattern of SM charged fermion masses and fermionic mixing parameters. Our model is consistent with the low energy SM fermion flavor data as well as with the constraints arising from meson oscillations. Some phenomenological aspects such as the $Z^\prime$ production at proton proton collider and the lepton flavor violating decay of the SM-like Higgs boson are discussed. The scalar potential of the model is analyzed in detail and the SM-like Higgs boson is identified.

description: As an introduction of a kinematic survey of Magellanic Cloud (MC) star clusters, we report on the dynamical masses and mass-to-light ($M/L$) ratios of NGC 419 (SMC) and NGC 1846 (LMC). We have obtained more than one hundred high-resolution stellar spectra in and around each cluster using the multi-object spectrograph M2FS on the $Magellan$/Clay Telescope. Line-of-sight velocities and positions of the stars observed in each cluster were used as input to an expectation-maximization algorithm used to estimate cluster membership probabilities, resulting in samples of 46 and 52 likely members ($P_{M}\geq 50$%) in NGC 419 and NGC 1846, respectively. This process employed single-mass King models constrained by the structural parameters of the clusters and provided self-consistent dynamical mass estimates for both clusters. Our best-fit results show that NGC 419 has a projected central velocity dispersion of $2.44^{+0.37}_{-0.21}\ {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$, corresponding to a total mass of $7.6^{+2.5}_{-1.3}\times10^4\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$ and $V$-band $M/L$ ratio of $0.22^{+0.08}_{-0.05}$ in solar units. For NGC 1846, the corresponding results are $2.04^{+0.28}_{-0.24}\ {\rm km\,s^{-1}}$, $5.4^{+1.5}_{-1.4}\times10^4\ {\rm M}_{\odot}$ and $0.32^{+0.11}_{-0.11}$. The mean metallicities of NGC 419 and NGC 1846 are found to be $\rm [Fe/H]=-0.84\pm0.19$ and $-0.70\pm0.08$, respectively, based on the spectra of likely cluster members. We find marginal statistical evidence of rotation in both clusters, though in neither cluster does rotation alter our mass estimates significantly. We critically compare our findings with those of previous kinematic studies of these two clusters in order to evaluate the consistency of our observational results and analytic tools.

description: The successful development and diffusion of improved maize seed in Zambia is a major achievement in African agriculture. Since independence in 1964, and most notably from the 1970s, the commitment of the Government of Zambia (GoZ) to ensuring food security through the involvement of smallholder farmers was an important aspect of this process. Most recently, the commitment of the GoZ has entailed the re-introduction of input subsidies.
Observation of Buried Phosphorus Dopants near Clean Si(100)-(2x1) with Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

description: We have used scanning tunneling microscopy to identify individual phosphorus dopant atoms near the clean silicon (100)-(2x1) reconstructed surface. The charge-induced band bending signature associated with the dopants shows up as an enhancement in both filled and empty states and is consistent with the appearance of n-type dopants on compound semiconductor surfaces and passivated Si(100)-(2x1). We observe dopants at different depths and see a strong dependence of the signature on the magnitude of the sample voltage. Our results suggest that, on this clean surface, the antibonding surface state band acts as an extension of the bulk conduction band into the gap. The positively charged dimer vacancies that have been observed previously appear as depressions in the filled states, as opposed to enhancements, because they disrupt these surface bands.

Screening for Sleep Apnea in the Heart Failure Population
Creators: name: Williams, Loreen M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Background: Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) occurs in over half of the estimated 5.1 million people in the U.S. diagnosed with heart failure (HF). Evidence shows that treatment of SDB in this population decreases not only morbidity and mortality rates, but the overall cost burden of the disease as well. The routine use of a sleep apnea screening protocol in the HF population can help identify patients in need of treatment. Methods: A project was conducted at an urban community heart failure clinic to evaluate provider preference of three evidence-based screening tools to be included in the implementation of a comprehensive SDB screening protocol. This project’s long-term goal was to design and implement a SDB protocol for heart failure patients treated at an urban heart failure clinic using the Health Belief Model. Results: Providers chose the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) as the screening questionnaire to be used in the final screening protocol. Conclusion: Ease of use, sensitivity within patient population, and patient-friendly format were cited as the deciding factors for provider choice of the ESS as the preferred screening tool.
Prevention and Management of Type 2 Diabetes among African Immigrants in the United States: Using a Culturally Tailored Educational Intervention with a Focus on Dietary Plan, Physical Activity, and Stress Management
Creators: name: Abioye-Akanji, Oluseyi G
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Purpose: Close examination of epidemiological data revealed burdens of type 2 diabetes and complications particular to ethnic minorities in the United States including African immigrants. Literature reviews show poor dietary plan, physical inactivity, and poor stress management exist among African immigrants; contributing factors to these behaviors are cultural beliefs, barriers to physical activity, knowledge deficit in stress management, healthy food choices and portioning. This DNP project focused on implementing a culturally tailored diabetes education with the objective to increase participants’ knowledge on dietary planning, physical activity, and stress management. Greater patient knowledge may lead to better diabetes management among African immigrants in the U.S.
Method: Three-sessions of culturally tailored diabetes education were delivered to African immigrant adults (N=9) with Type 2 diabetes in Rhode Island. Behavioral change education was based on three of the American Association of Diabetes (ADA) self-care behaviors: healthy eating, physical activity, and stress management. Each session lasted approximately 2.5 hours. Demographic information of the participants was obtained using a questionnaire. A pre/post-test was administered to measure participants’ knowledge base before and after education intervention. Participants completed satisfactory survey questionnaires at the end of the program.
Results: All of the participants had significant improvements in the knowledge areas of dietary plan, physical activity, and stress management. One hundred percent (n=9) of the participants reported great satisfaction of the program.
Conclusion: The education program may serve as a model for up-to date culturally tailored diabetes education and information for African immigrants, and other ethnic minorities.

description: The development and diffusion of hybrid maize seed in Kenya is a widely documented success story. Yet, to our knowledge, a missing link in existing research on maize hybrids in Kenya has been a rigorous analysis of the impacts of seed adoption on farmer welfare. The objective of this study is to initiate that research, using econometric methods applied to a balanced panel of 1,243 maize-growing households surveyed in 2000, 2004, 2007, and 2010. Data were collected by Tegemeo Institute of Egerton University in collaboration with Michigan State University.

Pediatric Lyme Disease Prevention
Creators: name: Mannion, Tracey A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Diagnoses of Lyme disease (LD) in Massachusetts have been on the rise in recent years, with one of the highest incidence rates in young school-age children. LD diagnoses may impact the short and long term health of children, as well as their economic, educational, and social well-being. Review of the literature indicates that educational interventions on LD have effectively increased preventative knowledge of LD in children and their parents. These educational interventions include instruction regarding protective practices such as tick checks, wearing protective clothing, and use of repellants, as well as tick ecology education. The purpose of the educational intervention described in this paper, was to prevent infection of LD by increasing knowledge of the disease, including preventive measures, among young children and their parents. The educational intervention involved teaching LD prevention to children in the classroom, and teaching parents through educational packets. The LD program was evaluated using a pre-test post-test program evaluation design. The theoretical framework chosen to support this educational intervention was the Health Belief Model. Results of the program were that the educational intervention for children regarding tick ecology and protective practices, increased preventative knowledge of LD in children as young as five.

description: Based on the medium-high resolution (R~ 20,000), modest signal-to-noise ratio (S/N > 70) FLAMES-GIRAFFE spectra, we investigated the copper abundances of 129 red giant branch stars in the Galactic bulge with [Fe/H] from -1.14 to 0.46 dex. The copper abundances are derived from both local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) and nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) with the spectral synthesis method. We find that the NLTE effects for Cu I lines show a clear dependence on metallicity, and they gradually increase with decreasing [Fe/H] for our sample stars. Our results indicate that the NLTE effects of copper are important not only for metal-poor stars but also for supersolar metal-rich ones and the LTE results underestimate the Cu abundances. We note that the [Cu/Fe] trend of the bulge stars is similar to that of the Galactic disk stars spanning the metallicity range of -1.14 < [Fe/H] < 0.0 dex and the [Cu/Fe] ratios increase with increasing metallicity when [Fe/H] is from~-1.2 to~-0.5 dex, favoring a secondary (metallicity-dependent) production of Cu.

Increasing access to maternity care in rural Georgia through public health advocacy
Creators: name: Romain-Lapeine, Fabiola
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Georgia has the second highest maternal mortality rate and eighth highest infant mortality rate in the country. Regardless of location, race, socioeconomic class or education level, access to quality maternity care will significantly improve the outcomes for both mother and baby. In 2012, the maternal mortality rate in rural Georgia was 24.3% compared to 16.5% in non-rural Georgia. Increasing the use of well-trained Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) is essential to the provision of high-quality rural maternity care throughout pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period. Including CNMs as preceptors in the Georgia Preceptor Tax Incentive Program (GA-PTIP) policy can increase the quantity of midwives who will practice in the rural areas. Nurses need education in the role of advocate in order to change policies and systems that effect the population they are caring for. The purpose of this project was to implement a public health education intervention with nurses and nursing students on how to address increasing access to quality maternity care in rural Georgia through public health advocacy as an initial phase in addressing this problem of healthcare access.

Exam. pies appear of ways the analysis may be used to help policymakers decide on price support and acreage control levels. Traditionally, percentage changes in acreage have been equated with percentage changes in production. However, it is shown that a 13-pcrcent change in cotton acreage harvested may be required to change production by 10 percent.

description: We extend the range-separated double-hybrid RSH+MP2 method [J. G. Angyan et al., Phys. Rev. A 72, 012510 (2005)], combining long-range HF exchange and MP2 correlation with a short-range density functional, to a fully self-consistent version using the optimized-effective-potential technique in which the orbitals are obtained from a local potential including the long-range HF and MP2 contributions. We test this approach, that we name RS-OEP2, on a set of small closed-shell atoms and molecules. For the commonly used value of the range-separation parameter $μ=0.5$ bohr$^{-1}$, we find that self-consistency does not seem to bring any improvement for total energies, ionization potentials, and electronic affinities. However, contrary to the non-self-consistent RSH+MP2 method, the present RS-OEP2 method gives a LUMO energy which physically corresponds to a neutral excitation energy and gives local exchange-correlation potentials which are reasonably good approximations to the corresponding Kohn-Sham quantities. At a finer scale, we find that RS-OEP2 gives largely inaccurate correlation potentials and correlated densities, which points to the need of further improvement of this type of range-separated double hybrids.

description: Agricultural commodity projections for 1985, developed by USDA's Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service, show that the livestock sector acts as a large secondary grain reserve. A mathematical model of the combined world grain-oilseed-livestock (GOLI economy generates consistent projections of world commodity trade and prices, and regional production and consumption. The article presents analysis of the tie between crop and livestock sectors, located mainly in the developed countries. The focus is on the synthesis of feed demand equations containing input-out. put coefficients and price elesticities sensitive to both livestock products and feeds.

The Local Interstellar Spectrum of Cosmic Ray Electrons

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The direct measurements of electrons and positrons over the last 30 years, corrected for the solar effect in the force-field approximation, are considered. The resulting overall electron spectrum may be fitted with a single power law above few GeV with spectral index ($γ_{-} = 3.41 \pm 0.02$), consistent with the spectral index of the positron spectrum ($γ_{+} = 3.40 \pm 0.06$), therefore suggesting a common acceleration process for both species. We propose that the engine was a shock wave originating from the last supernova explosion among those that formed the local bubble. In addition, at low energy, the electron spectrum measured during the last $A+$ solar phase is damped, whereas the positron spectrum is well represented by a single power law down to the lowest inferred local interstellar energy (0.8 GeV). We suggest that this difference arises from a time- and charge-dependent effect of the solar modulation that is not taken into account by the force-field approximation.

A Childhood Obesity Intervention For African American and Latino Children
Creators: name: Anyoha, Sandra N
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Abstract
Childhood obesity is a major problem in America. The aim of this research translation project was to put into practice an evidence based childhood obesity intervention (Let’s Go! Maine, 5210) in a primary care setting. The rising rates of overweight and obesity in children and adolescents have been accompanied by an increase in adverse health outcomes such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Data from the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC) demonstrates higher rates of obesity in African American and Latino children, with a prevalence rate of 22.4% in Latinos and 20.2% African American children.
METHODS: This evidenced based intervention employed a pre and post study design with a convenience sample of ten participants age 10 to 18, identified as having a body mass index (BMI) equal or greater than 85th percentile. Ten adolescents completed the data collection process and a one and half hour weekly educational session along with follow up calls.
RESULT: Statistical analysis comparing the pre and posttest answers of the 5210 Healthy Habits questionnaire revealed that the questions can act as a prompt for educational interventions thereby increasing the child’s awareness of healthy habits.
CONCLUSION: Findings suggests that although obesity management can be complex, early recognition and intervention of childhood obesity can promote a child’s knowledge about healthy lifestyle and promote healthy food choices leading to improved BMI outcome.

description: The growing retail desire for exclusive and specialized food products offers new marketing opportunities for small and medium-sized food suppliers that understand the new world of food merchandising and are capable of delivering food products that satisfy commercial requirements for quality, innovation, and value. This document provides an overview of the changing retail landscape and identifies some of the characteristics associated with successful food retailing. It is designed to help smaller scale food producers and processors develop profitable business strategies and identify customers likely to appreciate their unique products. This publication addresses two major trends changing retail food marketing—a move toward differentiation as a marketing strategy and a simultaneous shift towards vertical integration between food suppliers and buyers. It examines the ramifications of these developments for the smaller scale food supplier and identifies strategies for remaining competitive in this environment.
The Just Culture, Second Victimization and Clinician Support: An Educational/Awareness Program
Creators: name: Butler, Shawna M
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 2015

Due to the continued numbers of medical errors and unexpected patient outcomes, the student project manager identified the collateral damage that health care providers involved in the patient care events experienced while acting as a risk manager at one medical center. This concept is referred to as "second victimization". The patient and/or family are the primary victims of errors and unexpected outcomes, but the close second is that of the clinician caring for the patient. As a result of this, the concern for the needs of these second victims was considered. A review of the literature was conducted. The review supported the concept of organizational support systems that provide the second victims with emotional and professional support during these challenging times.  Medically Induced Trauma Support Services (MITSS) created an evidence based toolkit for initiating a clinician support program at any facility. The literature and the MITSS toolkit were utilized to create a plan, budget, evaluation and timeframe for a pilot program educating and making clinicians aware of the need for a clinician support program at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. Twenty potential participants were identified by a nomination process and invited to participate. Eleven completed the program in its entirety (pre-survey, educational program, and post-survey). Each member (100%) reported their knowledge increasing on second victimization and just culture as a result of the program. A significant number reported their interest in being part of a future peer support program. It is the hope of the student project manager that this pilot serves as a foundation for a future clinician support program.

description: Cosmic neutrinos above a PeV are produced either within astrophysical sources or when ultra-high energy cosmic rays interact in transit through the cosmic background radiation. Detection of these neutrinos will be essential for understanding cosmic ray acceleration, composition and source evolution. By using the Earth as a tau neutrino converter for upward-going extensive air showers from tau decays, balloon-borne and space-based instruments can take advantage of a large volume and mass of the terrestrial neutrino target. The theoretical inputs and uncertainties in determining the tau lepton exit probabilities and their translation to detection acceptance will be discussed in the context of a new calculation we have performed. We quantify the experimental detection capability based on our calculation, including using the Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA) concept study response parameters for optical air Cherenkov detection. These case studies are used to illustrate the features and uncertainties in upward tau air shower detection.
