description: Background: Little is known about the relation between preoperative glycemic state and neurosurgical outcomes. Improved understanding of this relationship may identify patients at increased risk of complicated recovery and guide postoperative treatment strategies. Methods: Data were collected about 918 consecutive craniotomy or spine-related neurosurgical cases at the University of Michigan Hospitals. Univariate statistics, bivariate chi-square tests, and analysis of variance were used to assess relations between preoperative blood glucose, demographics, medical comorbidities, systemic glucocorticoid use, and postoperative complication risk and postoperative hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) stay. We fit a multivariable logistic regression model of 30-day complication risk by preoperative blood glucose adjusted for potential confounders, and used analysis of covariance to assess the relation between preoperative blood glucose and hospital, as well as ICU stay, adjusted for potential confounders. Results: Among all patients, 56.1% had peri-operative blood glucose levels below 100 mg/dl. 20.7% had levels from 100 to 120 mg/dl, 16.3% had levels from 121 to 160 mg/dl, and 6.9% had levels greater than 160 mg/dl. In multivariable regression models, blood glucose greater than 120 mg/dl was associated with increased risk of postoperative complications at all levels. Analysis of covariance showed that preoperative blood glucose above 120 mg/dl was associated with both increased length of ICU stay and length of hospital stay. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that even mild preoperative hyperglycemia is a predictor of postoperative complication risk, and prolonged hospital and ICU stay following neurosurgical intervention. Tight glycemic control may be in order when attempting to reduce risk of complications and limit postoperative recovery time.

description: Time and space do not permit an adequate discussion of how new technologies will affect various animal production systems. In this paper we'll discuss one new technology, the new use of bovine growth hormone to increase the efficiency of milk production. It will serve as an example (albeit in all probability a more dramatic one than many) of the potential of new technology to affect animal production. Emphasis throughout will be on information that dairy farmers (and their advisors) need in order to make informed decisions about their businesses both today in anticipation of growth hormone and in the future when (if?) it becomes commercially available.

Bovine Practice in the Next 25 Years
Creators: name: Jarrett, James
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1986

description: Let us take a look at the food animal industry that we all desire to serve and see what we can find about it, realizing that much of the earth's surface is covered with energy forms that humans cannot consume, but that can be converted into human food by ruminants. Ruminants consume this fibrous feed, waste materials, many times, and byproducts and manufacture food that can be eaten by man. About 60 percent of the world's grazing land is unsuitable for cultivation. Another factor, many humans such as myself, and many of you in this room, prefer some animal products in their diet. I'd hate to know that I had to get by without a good steak once in awhile. Now to take a look at the healthy dairy cow as an example of one of these ruminants, she has the conversion ability to produce human foods that is more efficient than the automobile. She can take a hundred kilocalories offeed energy and convert it into 21 kilocalories of milk energy. She can take a hundred grams offeed protein and convert it into 30 grams of milk protein plus the carcass that she produces. But if you consider only that portion of her diet that could be consumed by humans, the conversion rate on energy is about 119 percent and on protein about 150 percent. The potential for consumers in this country alone is staggering. Our population in 1985 was about 236 million but by the year 2000 we'll be close to 260 million, about a ten percent increase. So there will be people there to consume these products from the food animal industry. Per capita consumption has continued to increase. Based on milk equivalent consumption in 1975, about 540 pounds of milk equivalent consumed, by the year 2000 it has been predicted that we will be consuming about 600 pounds of milk equivalent. This will be the result of increased advertising, lower prices, and emphasis on health and health foods, emphasis such as on osteoporosis that we see on television today, dental caries, hypertension, rectal cancer, and many other phases of human nutrition that we see advertised. These predictions mean that there will be food animals that need health care in the next 25 years. There is no doubt about that.

description: The atmospheric scattering of light has a significant influence on results of optical observations of air showers. It causes attenuation of direct light from the shower, but also contributes a delayed signal to the observed light. The scattering of light therefore should be accounted for, both in simulations of air shower detection and reconstruction of observed events. In this work a Monte Carlo simulation of multiple scattering of light has been used to determine the contribution of the scattered light in observations of a point source of light. Results of the simulations and a parameterization of the angular distribution of the scattered light contribution to the observed signal (the point spread function) are presented.

description: Arab-American (AA) populations in the US are exposed to discrimination and acculturative stress—two factors that have been associated with higher suicide risk. However, prior work suggests that socially oriented norms and behaviors, which characterize recent immigrant ethnic groups, may be protective against suicide risk. Here we explored suicide rates and their determinants among AAs in Michigan, the state with the largest proportion of AAs in the US. Methodology/Principal Findings: ICD-9/10 underlying cause of death codes were used to identify suicide deaths from among all deaths in Michigan between 1990 and 2007. Data from the 2000 U.S. Census were collected for population denominators. Age-adjusted suicide rates among AAs and non-ethnic whites were calculated by gender using the direct method of standardization. We also stratified by residence inside or outside of Wayne County (WC), the county with the largest AA population in the state. Suicide rates were 25.10 per 100,000 per year among men and 6.40 per 100,000 per year among women in Michigan from 1990 to 2007. AA men had a 51% lower suicide rate and AA women had a 33% lower rate than non-ethnic white men and women, respectively. The suicide rate among AA men in WC was 29% lower than in all other counties, while the rate among AA women in WC was 20% lower than in all other counties. Among non-ethnic whites, the suicide rate in WC was higher compared to all other counties among both men (12%) and women (16%). Conclusions/Significance: Suicide rates were higher among non-ethnic white men and women compared to AA men and women in both contexts. Arab ethnicity may protect against suicide in both sexes, but more so among men. Additionally, ethnic density may protect against suicide among Arab-Americans.

description: We used first-principles calculations to investigate the existence and origin of the ferroelectric in- stability in the ABF3 fluoro-perovskites. We find that many fluoro-perovskites have a ferroelectric instability in their high symmetry cubic structure, which is of similar amplitude to that commonly found in oxide perovskites. In contrast to the oxides, however, the fluorides have nominal Born effective charges, indicating a different mechanism for the instability. We show that the instability originates from ionic size effects, and is therefore in most cases largely insensitive to pressure and strain, again in contrast to the oxide perovskites. An exception is NaMnF3, where coherent epitaxial strain matching to a substrate with equal in-plane lattice constants destabilizes the bulk Pnma structure leading to a ferroelectric, and indeed multiferroic, ground state with an unusual polarization/strain response.

description: We discuss conditions for unique ergodicity of a collective random walk on a continuous circle. Individual particles in this collective motion perform independent (and different in general) random walks conditioned by the assumption that the particles cannot overrun each other. Additionally to sufficient conditions for the unique ergodicity we discover a new and unexpected way for its violation due to excessively large local jumps. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique ergodicity of the deterministic version of this system are obtained as well. Technically our approach is based on the interlacing property of the spin function which describes states of pairs of particles in coupled processes under study.

description: Childhood obesity is a major public health challenge worldwide. There is a growing literature documenting socioeconomic inequalities in childhood obesity risk. Here we draw inference from the literature about inequalities in childhood obesity risk in the UK. We summarize and appraise the extant peer-reviewed literature about socioeconomic inequalities in childhood obesity in the UK. Common area-level indices of socioeconomic position, including the Carstairs Deprivation Index, the Index of Multiple Deprivation and the Townsend Deprivation Index, as well as common household and individual-level metrics of childhood socioeconomic position, including head-of-household social class and maternal education, were generally inversely associated with childhood obesity in the UK. We summarize key methodological limitations to the extant literature and suggest avenues for future research.

description: X-ray phase contrast imaging offers a way to visualize the internal structures of an object without the need to deposit any radiation, and thereby alleviate the main concern in x-ray diagnostic imaging procedures today. Grating-based differential phase contrast imaging techniques are compatible with compact x-ray sources, which is a key requirement for the majority of clinical x-ray modalities. However, these methods are substantially limited by the need for mechanical phase stepping. We describe an electromagnetic phase stepping method that eliminates mechanical motion, and thus removing the constraints in speed, accuracy and flexibility. The method is broadly applicable to both projection and tomography imaging modes. The transition from mechanical to electromagnetic scanning should greatly facilitate the translation of x-ray phase contrast techniques into mainstream applications.

description: So - if it is any comfort many of us have been marketing our services to one degree or another and now we have a string of buzz words and sophisticated terminology to identify our clumsy efforts. It seems obvious we must improve our grasp of the concepts of marketing as the economic realities drive animal agriculture to more efficient production. We must define and refine our former clumsy attempts in order to move quickly and accurately to act on the 4 axioms of modern food animal practice: 1. Determine the market driven need. 2. Assess the practice resources required. 3. Determine profitability. 4. Create client awareness.

description: The past five years have seen a growth in the interest in systems approaches in epidemiologic research. These approaches may be particularly appropriate for social epidemiology. Social network analysis and agent-based models (ABMs) are two approaches that have been used in the epidemiologic literature. Social network analysis involves the characterization of social networks to yield inference about how network structures may influence risk exposures among those in the network. ABMs can promote population-level inference from explicitly programmed, micro-level rules in simulated populations over time and space. In this paper, we discuss the implementation of these models in social epidemiologic research, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each approach. Network analysis may be ideal for understanding social contagion, as well as the influences of social interaction on population health. However, network analysis requires network data, which may sacrifice generalizability, and causal inference from current network analytic methods is limited. ABMs are uniquely suited for the assessment of health determinants at multiple levels of influence that may couple with social interaction to produce population health. ABMs allow for the exploration of feedback and reciprocity between exposures and outcomes in the etiology of complex diseases. They may also provide the opportunity for counterfactual simulation. However, appropriate implementation of ABMs requires a balance between mechanistic rigor and model parsimony, and the precision of output from complex models is limited. Social network and agent-based approaches are promising in social epidemiology, but continued development of each approach is needed.

description: Making a living, getting paid for what we do, getting value from our education ... has become more complex. Veterinarians before us were paid for surgeries, medical treatment, and the drugs they compounded and dispensed. We, too, were brought up in this mold. But several changes in our world are forcing us out of our niche. Farmers are doing more and more of their own veterinary work as veterinary supplies and equipment are becoming more available through OTC distributors. The "miracles" we've mixed and the advice on "extra label" drug use is coming under more attack daily by consumer groups such as "Americans for Safe Food", and government agencies such as the USDA-FSIS and the FDA's CVM.

description: Competition is something new. Twenty years ago we could practice just about anyway we wanted and be successful. Those days are gone and it's probably a good thing. We now face competition from many quarters. It's no longer enough just to be a good veterinarian. We must apply principles of business management if we are to position our practices to prosper through the end of the twentieth century. Those interested in business growth, in the personal satisfaction of a successful enterprise, in selling a vital business to a colleague, or in providing for a carefree retirement must learn to compete. It's hard work and it doesn't come naturally to veterinarians with little aptitude for or training in business.

One is the controversial area of advertising or merchandising through the media in a competitive way your prices, your services, your products, your whatever. The second area o marketing is what I'm interested in discussing today and that is simply AWARENESS-making the client aware of what services you can provide for him and what benefits he can be assured of receiving should he choose to become a client of yours. And remember, it is his choice. Nobody makes him come to your office. You may be the only game in town, but unless you adequately meet that client's needs, he can decide to either go many miles for better service or to do without veterinary service altogether. It's his choice. If you're going to be his choice, you're going to have to meet both his expectations and his needs.

description: In this paper, a two-relay full-duplex asynchronous cooperative network with the amplify-and-forward (AF) protocol is considered. We propose two distributed space-time coding schemes for the cases with and without cross-talks, respectively. In the first case, each relay can receive the signal sent by the other through the cross-talk link. We first study the feasibility of cross-talk cancellation in this network and show that the cross-talk interference cannot be removed well. For this reason, we design space-time codes by utilizing the cross-talk signals instead of removing them. In the other case, the self-coding is realized individually through the loop channel at each relay node and the signals from the two relay nodes form a space-time code. The achievable cooperative diversity of both cases is investigated and the conditions to achieve full cooperative diversity are presented. Simulation results verify the theoretical analysis.

description: We propose a variant of the $θ$-scheme for diffuse interface models for two-phase flow, together with three new linearization techniques for the surface tension. These involve either additional stabilizing force terms, or a fully implicit coupling of the Navier-Stokes and Cahn-Hilliard equation. In the common case that the equations for interface and flow are coupled explicitly, we find a time step restriction which is very different to other two-phase flow models and in particular is independent of the grid size. We also show that the proposed stabilization techniques can lift this time step restriction. Even more pronounced is the performance of the proposed fully implicit scheme which is stable for arbitrarily large time steps. We demonstrate in a Taylor flow application that this superior coupling between flow and interface equation can render diffuse interface models even computationally cheaper and faster than sharp interface models.
Trends in Enrollment Patterns Among Community College Students

Community colleges

description: Community college programs are designed around regularity. Degrees and certificates are often branded with an expected or “regular” completion time (e.g., two-year associate degree, one-year certificate), and suggested course sequences often assume this underlying time structure. In reality, however, relatively few students finish their course sequences and programs of study so quickly. Instead, students generate a diverse array of attendance patterns that may include periods of non-enrollment and shifts in part-time/fulltime status. Indeed, the notion of a regular enrollment pattern is quickly challenged through analysis of data on how students actually attend community college. Using a large dataset, this report (based on a longer paper—see Crosta, 2013) reveals the diversity of enrollment patterns among community college students as they progress along their
education pathways. It also demonstrates a novel graphical technique for displaying large numbers
of student enrollment patterns in terms of continuity (whether or not a student enrolls in a
given semester) and intensity (whether a student enrolls part-time or full-time).

description: Gravitational microlensing offers a powerful method with which to probe a variety of binary-lens systems, as the binarity of the lens introduces deviations from the typical (single-lens) Paczyński behaviour in the event light curves. Generally, a static binary lens is considered to fit the observed light curve and, when the orbital motion is taken into account, an oversimplified model is usually employed. In this paper, we treat the binary-lens motion in a realistic way and focus on simulated events that are fitted well by a Paczyński curve. We show that an accurate timing analysis of the residuals (calculated with respect to the best-fitting Paczyński model) is usually sufficient to infer the orbital period of the binary lens. It goes without saying that the independently estimated period may be used to further constrain the orbital parameters obtained by the best-fitting procedure, which often gives degenerate solutions. We also present a preliminary analysis of the event OGLE-2011-BLG-1127 / MOA-2011-BLG-322, which has been recognized to be the result of a binary lens. The period analysis results in a periodicity of \simeq 12 days, which confirms the oscillation of the observed data around the best-fitting model. The estimated periodicity is probably associated with an intrinsic variability of the source star, and therefore there is an opportunity to use this technique to investigate either the intrinsic variability of the source or the effects induced by the binary-lens orbital motion.

description: Now from that a concise description of what we expect from a veterinarian might be as follows: First, we would expect service when we need it within reason. We know our own limitations as far as treatment and herd health, and we try not to call out veterinarians for frivolous reasons. We try not to call him to correct our mistakes, and we don't call him to perform miracles! We expect our veterinarian to keep us well informed on new medicines, vaccines, techniques, and herd health practices that can make our business more profitable. We think he owes it to us to have for himself an on-going self-education, continuing education program. We expect our veterinarian to be open, frank, and honest with us, and we expect to deal with him in the same manner. We expect our veterinarian to understand our particular goals and priorities, and assistance with his involvement in every way that is possible. We expect him to charge us fair rates and make a good living and have his practice profitable, but not too profitable!

Making it Personal: How Anti-Fracking Organizations Frame Their Messages
Creators: name: Wright, Marita
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: subject: Political science

subject: Social sciences--Research
subject: Organizational behavior

description: Within the past five years, the anti-fracking movement has emerged from relative obscurity to dramatically shift the social and political dialogue surrounding hydraulic fracturing. The extensive body of framing literature suggests that collective action frames play an important role in building social movements such as the one against fracking. While many scholars have studied the types and utility of collective action frames, few have investigated the role of the intended audience in creating them. This study finds that the relationship between the organization and the audiences it targets is an essential piece of the frame creation process, and by extension, an integral part of the anti-fracking movement. Examination of recent history preceding the movement reveals events that were necessary but not sufficient to coalesce people around the anti-fracking cause. Through ethnographic research at an environmental organization and interviews with those who work with other groups involved in the anti-fracking debate, I establish a theory about how these organizations develop the framing techniques that influence public understanding of fracking. I propose a frame creation process that outlines the relationship between three components: backstage strategizing, front stage testing grounds, and front stage official messages.
A laser setup for rubidium cooling dedicated to space applications

description: We present the complete characterization of a laser setup for rubidium cooling dedicated to space applications. The experimental setup is realized with commercial off-the-shelf fiber components suitable for space applications. By frequency doubling two fiber laser diodes at 1560 nm, we produce the two optical frequencies at 780 nm required for atomic cooling of $^{87}$Rb. The first laser is locked on saturated absorption signal and long term frequency drift has been canceled using a digital integrator. The optical frequency of the second laser is controlled relatively to the first one by a frequency comparison method. A full characterization of the setup, including frequency stability evaluation and frequency noise measurement has been performed. The optical frequency doubling module has been submitted to environmental tests to verify its compatibility with space applications.

Dairy Industry Economics
Creators: name: Hamm, Larry G.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1986

description: In 1985 the U.S. dairy industry generated cash receipts of $18.1 billion. When the receipts associated with the dairy cattle marketed through the beef system are included, the dairy industry generated almost $26 billion, or about 17 percent of the 1985 total cash receipts of U.S. agriculture. Thus, the dairy industry is a major component of the U.S. farm economy which generates demands for many products and services. The purpose of this paper is to provide the reader with some indication about the current condition of the U.S. dairy and milk markets and to relate those changes to veterinarians practicing in large animal and dairy businesses. This paper briefly explores four propositions about the nature of the U.S. dairy sector. These include: • Fundamental market and technological change will continue. • Government involvement in the dairy industry is assured. • The direction of government policy will be known shortly. • The role of the bovine practitioner will change.

Beef Economics and the Bovine Practitioner
Creators: name: Williams, Donald E.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1986

description: The practicing veterinarian routinely faces decisions which have to be made in a short time frame. Most disease problems need a quick decision and a quick response. Thus it may be difficult to study the economy from a long term perspective, however this needs to be the first approach to making decisions on your economic future. The good news is that most economic decisions do not have to be made quickly and can be studied over a period of time using available reference data before a decision has to be made. The bad news is that many of the decisions made in this arena have long term ramifications.

Trends and Demographics Affecting Bovine Practice
Creators: name: Wise, J. Karl

Year: 1986

description: Everyone knows that American agriculture is undergoing significant change and stress. Much of the recent change involving the financial farm crisis is well-known. Underlying these financial difficulties are declines in agricultural exports, and perhaps more importantly, strong technological and structural forces which will cause further changes and adjustments in agriculture for years to come. In the 30 minutes in which I have the privilege to address you this morning, I would like to briefly outline a few issues which relate directly to food animal veterinary practice.

Nutrition and Its Subsequent Effects on Diseases

description: I would like to talk to you today about the interaction between disease and nutrition. So that we all have the same basis of discussion-semantics is one of the problems that occurs between veterinarians and consulting nutritionists-let's talk a little bit about synergism, antagonism, primary and secondary malnutrition. The simplest definition of malnutrition is too much or too little of a required nutrient. By that definition I am malnourished by about 40 pounds.

La Vie Avec L’asthme: Analysis of Asthma Susceptibility Differences Between Immigrant and Native Populations in France
Creators: name: Arsen, Emily
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Public health
subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology
subject: Environmental health

description: This study analyzes the differences in asthma prevalence between the native-born French population and the immigrant population in an effort to measure the effect of nativity on the likelihood that an individual is asthmatic. Previous research has shown that immigrants report better health than the native population, which is a phenomenon known as the immigrant health paradox. Yet, significant research also suggests that populations with low socioeconomic status, as immigrants tend to be, are more prone to asthma than populations of higher socioeconomic status. Using the 2003 cycle of the Enquête Santé, I created models to estimate the influence of one’s immigrant status on the likelihood of being asthmatic, as well as generating models to measure the effect of immigrant status on severity of one’s asthma. My studies ultimately showed that immigrants in France are less likely to be asthmatic than the native-born population. Similarly, immigrants tend have a lower propensity to have severe asthma. These results affirm the findings of previous studies on the immigrant health paradox and suggest that immigrants have better respiratory health than the native population.
Exotic Diagnostic Procedures
Creators: name: Van Kampen, Kent
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1977

description: In the subject that I have been given this morning the definition of "exotic" really depends on your repertoire of laboratory testing or diagnostic tools that you use in your particular practice. I will discuss two particular areas. The first will be that of tests which are not commonly used but may be of importance to you as you expand your repertoire of diagnostic tools. The second area will be that of things that are on the horizon that are not yet commercially available or available in most of the diagnostic laboratories, and yet, tests which are under development and may have a significant impact on your diagnostic repertoire.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A multi-pomeron exchange potential (MPP) is proposed as a model for the three-body repulsion indicated in neutron-star matter, which works universally among three- and four-baryons. Its strength is determined by analyzing the nucleus-nucleus scattering with the G-matrix folding model. The EoS in neutron matter is obtained including the MPP contribution. The neutron-star mass is calculated by solving the TOV equation. The maximum mass is obtained to be larger than the observed one $1.97 M_{solar}$ on the basis of the experimental data.
