description: The El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) has an established impact on precipitation in Uruguay during austral spring (October–December). This impact is absent in peak summer (January–February), and returns weakly in fall–winter (March–July). Interannual and intraseasonal variability of the atmospheric circulation over South America and the South Pacific is investigated using the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis data for these seasons. The leading empirical orthogonal function (EOF) of seasonally averaged 200-hPa winds over South America is found to be associated with ENSO through a pronounced Walker cell component in all seasons. However, during spring, this pattern acquires an extratropical teleconnection that links the circulation over southeastern South America (SESA) with ENSO. This extratropical teleconnection disappears in summer, when the circulation over SESA is dominated by variability in the South Atlantic convergence zone. In fall, extratropical South America again becomes affected by a wavelike pattern that extends over the South Pacific, but it is uncorrelated with ENSO. On intraseasonal timescales, a cluster analysis of daily geopotential height fields over the South Pacific sector reveals three wave train–like circulation regimes with similar structures in all seasons. During the transition seasons (but not summer), the frequencies of occurrence of two of these regimes are found to be significantly different from normal in years when the interannual wavelike EOFs are pronounced. Interannual anomaly patterns are constructed from the intraseasonal regimes according to these changes in their frequency of occurrence, and shown to resemble quite closely the interannual EOFs over the South Pacific sector. These results provide evidence that the interannual teleconnection patterns seen over the South Pacific in austral spring and fall–winter are due to changes in the frequency of occurrence and amplitude of intraseasonal circulation regimes. The Rossby wave source composited over ENSO years suggests that ENSO heating anomalies are able to trigger these changes in regime occurrence and amplitude during October–December through Rossby wave propagation, leading to the known ENSO teleconnection in austral spring. By contrast, the interannual teleconnection over the South Pacific during fall–winter appears to be due to essentially random changes in the frequency of occurrence of the intraseasonal circulation regimes, which are found to be much larger than during austral summer when no extratropical teleconnection pattern exists.

description: We construct topological triangulations for complements of $(-2,3,n)$-pretzel knots and links with $n\ge7$. Following a procedure outlined by Futer and Guéritaud, we use a theorem of Casson and Rivin to prove the constructed triangulations are geometric. Futer, Kalfagianni, and Purcell have shown (indirectly) that such braids are hyperbolic. The new result here is a direct proof.

description: We propose a robust principal component analysis (PCA) framework for the exploitation of multi-band photometric measurements in large surveys. Period search results are improved using the time series of the first principal component due to its optimized signal-to-noise ratio.The presence of correlated excess variations in the multivariate time series enables the detection of weaker variability. Furthermore, the direction of the largest variance differs for certain types of variable stars. This can be used as an efficient attribute for classification. The application of the method to a subsample of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 data yielded 132 high-amplitude Delta Scuti variables. We found also 129 new RR Lyrae variables, complementary to the catalogue of Sesar et al., 2010, extending the halo area mapped by Stripe 82 RR Lyrae stars towards the Galactic bulge. The sample comprises also 25 multiperiodic or Blazhko RR Lyrae stars.

description: Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have chronic anovulation and hyperandrogenism and frequently have abnormalities in their lipid profiles and insulin/insulin-like growth factor axis that increase their lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease. Normal ovulatory women may have polycystic ovaries on ultrasonography and yet lack the clinical features of PCOS. To further explore whether ovulatory women without clinical/biochemical hyperandrogenism but with polycystic appearing ovaries (ov-PAO) have subclinical features of PCOS, we prospectively characterized 26 ov-PAO women and matched them by age and body mass index to 25 ovulatory women with normal appearing ovaries (ov-NAO) and to 22 women with PCOS. After an overnight fast, all women had baseline endocrine and metabolic assessments. In addition, a subset of each group of women underwent GnRH-agonist (leuprolide acetate 1 mg sc) testing, ACTH stimulation, and an insulin tolerance test (ITT). At baseline, ov-PAO and ov-NAO women had similar endocrine profiles (LH, LH:FSH, androstenedione, and DHEAS). Compared with ov-NAO, 31% of ov-PAO women had reduced glucose responses after insulin (Kitt), suggesting mild insulin resistance, and 35% had high density lipoprotein levels below 35 mg/dL, a level considered to represent significant cardiovascular risk. After GnRH-agonist, ov-PAO women had response patterns in LH, total testosterone, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) that were intermediate between ov-NAO and women with PCOS. Ovarian responses were above the normal range in 30–40% of women with ov-PAO. In ov-PAO, peak responses of LH after leuprolide correlated with triglyceride levels (P < 0.05) and peak responses of 17-OHP correlated inversely with Kitt values (P < 0.05). No significant differences were noted with ACTH testing. In conclusion, occult biochemical ovarian hyperandrogenism may be uncovered using GnRH-agonist in ovulatory women with ov-PAO, while adrenal responses remain normal. Subtle metabolic abnormalities may also be prevalent.

description: In South Korea, the average annual frequency of typhoons over 30 years, from 1971 to 2000, is 26.7 per year. Among the annual typhoons, Typhoon Maemi of September 12, 2003 was the worst typhoon to hit South Korea for more than a decade, causing wide damage from the Nakdong River basin to the Pusan and the populated areas in the southeast of the peninsula. More than 110 people were killed in Korea. Several bridges collapsed and about 18,000 buildings were either destroyed or damaged by the typhoon. The characteristics of Typhoon Maemi, on the Nakdong River basin, and flood damages are analyzed using the satellite data and field measurements of hydrologic and hydraulic conditions.

description: Microdeletions of Yq are associated with azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia. In general, men with deletions are infertile and therefore deletions are not transmitted to sons unless in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) are performed. We report an unusual family characterized by multiple members with infertility and Yq microdeletion. Complete reproductive history, semen analyses and blood samples were elicited from relevant family members. DNA preparation and quantification were performed using commercial kits. A total of 27 pairs of sequence tagged sites based primer sets specific for the Y microdeletion region loci were used for screening. Southern blots using deleted in azoospermia (DAZ) and ribosomal binding motif (RBM) cDNAs were then analysed for confirmation. The proband, his three brothers and father were all found to be deleted for DAZ but not RBM. At the time of analysis, the proband's father was azoospermic whereas his four sons were either severely oligozoospermic or azoospermic. Unlike their father, the four sons are infertile and have no offspring, except for one of them who achieved a daughter only after IVF/ICSI treatment for infertility. Microdeletions of Yq involving the DAZ gene are associated with a variable phenotypic expression that can include evidently normal fertility.

description: We show that $v_2^9$ is a permanent cycle in the 3-primary Adams-Novikov spectral sequence computing $π_*(S/(3,v_1^8))$, and use this to conclude that the families $β_{9t+3/i}$ for $i=1,2$, $β_{9t+6/i}$ for $i=1,2,3$, $β_{9t+9/i}$ for $i=1,\dots,8$, $α_1β_{9t+3/3}$, and $α_1β_{9t+7}$ are permanent cycles in the 3-primary Adams-Novikov spectral sequence for the sphere for all $t\geq 0$. We use a computer program by Wang to determine the additive and partial multiplicative structure of the Adams-Novikov $E_2$ page for the sphere in relevant degrees. The $i=1$ cases recover previously known results of Behrens-Pemmaraju and the second author. The results about $β_{9t+3/3}$, $β_{9t+6/3}$ and $β_{9t+8/9}$ were previously claimed by the second author; the computer calculations allow us to give a more direct proof. As an application, we determine the image of the Hurewicz map $π_*S \to π_*tmf$ at $p=3$.

description: The Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT, hereafter LAT), the primary instrument on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) mission, is an imaging, wide field-of-view, high-energy γ-ray telescope, covering the energy range from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV. During the first years of the mission the LAT team has gained considerable insight into the in-flight performance of the instrument. Accordingly, we have updated the analysis used to reduce LAT data for public release as well as the Instrument Response Functions (IRFs), the description of the instrument performance provided for data analysis. In this paper we describe the effects that motivated these updates. Furthermore, we discuss how we originally derived IRFs from Monte Carlo simulations and later corrected those IRFs for discrepancies observed between flight and simulated data. We also give details of the validations performed using flight data and quantify the residual uncertainties in the IRFs. Finally, we describe techniques the LAT team has developed to propagate those uncertainties into estimates of the systematic errors on common measurements such as fluxes and spectra of astrophysical sources.

description: For games used in educational contexts, realism, i.e., the degree of congruence between the simulation models used in the games and the real-world systems represented, is an important characteristic for achieving learning goals well. However, in the past, the realism of especially entertainment games has often been identified as insufficient. Thus, this study is investigating the degree of realism provided by current games. To this purpose, two games in the domain urban water management, a subdomain of environmental engineering (EE), are examined. One is ANAWAK, a web-based serious game on water management and climate change. For ANAWAK, an analysis of the simulation model is conducted. Second, the simulation model of the entertainment game Cities: Skylines (CS) is analyzed. In addition, a survey among CS players (N=61) is conducted. Thereby, different degrees of realism in various EE subdomains are revealed. All in all, there are still considerable deficits regarding the degree of realism in the CS simulation model. However, modding as a means of achieving more realistic simulation models is more widely supported than in the past.

description: We have studied the photo-induced isomerization from 1,3-cyclohexadiene to 1,3,5-hexatriene in the presence of an intense ultrafast laser pulse. We find that the laser field maximally suppresses isomerization if it is both polarized parallel to the excitation dipole and present 50 fs after the initial photoabsorption, at the time when the system is expected to be in the vicinity of a conical intersection that mediates this structural transition. A modified ab initio multiple spawning (AIMS) method shows that the laser induces a resonant coupling between the excited state and the ground state, i.e., a light-induced conical intersection. The theory accounts for the timing and direction of the effect.
Development and characterization of intravesical mucoadhesive nanoparticulate formulations of paclitaxel and docetaxel for postoperative chemotherapy in non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer

Year: 2011

description: The present work describes the development, in vitro and in vivo evaluation of mucoadhesive nanoparticulate formulations of paclitaxel (PTX) and docetaxel (DTX) for intravesical bladder cancer therapy. The nanoparticles developed for PTX and DTX delivery consisted of hyperbranched polyglycerol (HPG), which were hydrophobically derivatized with alkyl chains (C₈/₁₀) in the core to allow drug loading and were further derivatized with methoxy polyethylene glycol (MePEG) and primary amine groups in the shell (HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂) to increase their mucoadhesiveness. Human urothelial carcinoma cell lines were treated with various concentrations of PTX and DTX formulations in vitro. Mice with established KU7-luc tumors were intravesically treated with various concentrations of PTX and DTX formulations or control vehicles. Drug uptake was conducted using LC/MS/MS and tumor microenvironment and uptake of rhodamine labeled HPGs was assessed by immunohistochemistry-based tumor mapping and fluorescence microscopy. The effects of HPG nanoparticles on the urinary bladder wall were studied on isolated porcine bladder tissues as well as in live mouse bladders. To investigate the toxicity and tolerability, histopathological evaluations were preformed following a single intravesical instillation with empty HPG nanoparticles in healthy female nude mice. In vitro, PTX and DTX loaded HPG nanoparticles were found to have equivalent cytotoxicities as their commercial formulations of Taxol® and Taxotere®, respectively. The surface modification of HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG with amine groups resulted in highly positive charged nanoparticles (HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂) with improved mucoadhesive properties. A single intravesical instillation with DTX loaded HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂ at a lower dose significantly inhibited tumor growth and increased drug uptake in mouse bladder tissues. HPG-C₈/₁₀-MePEG-NH₂ nanoparticles were found to significantly increase the uptake of DTX in both isolated pig bladder as well as in live mouse bladder tissues likely resulting from changes to the urothelial barrier function and morphology through opening of tight junctions and exfoliation of the superficial umbrella cells. Our preliminary studies suggest that this exfoliation was triggered by an apoptosis mechanism followed by a rapid recovery of the urothelium within 24 h post-instillation. Overall, our data show promising in vivo anti-tumor efficacy and provide preclinical proof-of-principle for intravesical application of these nanoparticulate formulations in the treatment of non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

description: We analyze the phases of supersymmetric chiral gauge theories with an antisymmetric tensor and (anti)fundamental flavors, in the presence of a classically marginal superpotential deformation. Varying the number of flavors that appear in the superpotential reveals rich infrared chiral dynamics and novel dualities. The dualities are characterized by an infinite family of magnetic duals with arbitrarily large gauge groups describing the same fixed point, correlated with arbitrarily large classical global symmetries that are truncated nonperturbatively. At the origin of moduli space, these theories exhibit a phase with confinement and chiral symmetry breaking, an interacting nonabelian Coulomb phase, and phases where an interacting sector coexists with a sector that either s-confines or is in a free magnetic phase. Properties of these intriguing "mixed phases" are studied in detail using duality and a-maximization, and the presence of superpotential interactions provides further insights into their formation.

description: We present methodologies for managing the impact of workforce absenteeism on the operational continuity of public services during an influenza epidemic. From a planner’s perspective, it is of paramount importance to design contingency plans to administer resources on the face of such an event; however, there is significant complexity underlying this task, stemming from uncertainty on the likely severity and evolution of the epidemic. Our approach involves the procurement of additional resources in response to a robust model of the evolution of the epidemic. We develop insights on the structure of optimal robust strategies and on practical rules-of-thumb that can be applied should an epidemic take place. We present numerical examples that illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

description: Johne's Disease is a chronic, granulomatous enteritis of ruminant animals caused by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis. Unfortunately, available diagnostic tests cannot reliably detect animals in early stages of disease, hampering current control efforts which rely heavily on testing and culling of infected animals. In this work, two families of polymorphic proteins, the PE and PPE proteins, were tested for their potential as immunodiagnostic targets. These proteins are cell-surface exposed and hypothesized to be involved in virulence and antigenic variation. Using a bioinformatic approach, a number of highly specific sequences of potential diagnostic utility were identified within these two families. Representatives of the families were expressed and studied using in vitro transcription/translation, as well as recombinant expression and co­expression in E. coli. Both humoral and cell-mediated immune assays were then conducted on the expressed products using whole blood and sera from naturally-infected cattle and several potential diagnostic targets were identified.

description: Superconducting resonators are widely used in many applications such as qubit readout for quantum computing, and kinetic inductance detectors. These resonators are susceptible to numerous loss and noise mechanisms, especially the dissipation due to two-level systems (TLS) which become the dominant source of loss in the few-photon and low temperature regime. In this study, capacitively-coupled aluminum half-wavelength coplanar waveguide resonators are investigated. Surprisingly, the loss of the resonators was observed to decrease with a lowering temperature at low excitation powers and temperatures below the TLS saturation. This behavior is attributed to the reduction of the TLS resonant response bandwidth with decreasing temperature and power to below the detuning between the TLS and the resonant photon frequency in a discrete ensemble of TLS. When response bandwidths of TLS are smaller than their detunings from the resonance, the resonant response and thus the loss is reduced. At higher excitation powers, the loss follows a logarithmic power dependence, consistent with predictions from the generalized tunneling model (GTM). A model combining the discrete TLS ensemble with the GTM is proposed and matches the temperature and power dependence of the measured internal loss of the resonator with reasonable parameters.

description: In today's lecture, I want to go beyond these by now well-documented failures of the Washington consensus to begin providing the foundations of an alternative paradigm, especially one relevant to the least developing country. It is based on a broad conception of development, with a concomitantly broader vision of development strategies and a quite different perspective on the role of international assistance and the ways in which it should be delivered. The remainder of this lecture is organized around five parts. First, I shall describe this broader vision. Second, I shall explain why not only the Washington consensus, but earlier development paradigms, failed: they viewed development too narrowly. I shall outline briefly some of the key factors--including recent events in East Asia and Russia--that have helped us realize the inadequacies of the old approaches. Third, I shall outline what I refer to as the key principles of a development strategy based on this broader vision of development. Fourth, I shall outline the major components of these new development strategies. And fifth, I shall conclude with some general observations, focusing on the importance of trade and the work of UNCTAD in furthering development based on this new paradigm.

description: Observations of ten Compact Symmetric Objects ({\rm CSO}) candidates have been made with the Very Long Baseline Array at 8.4 GHz in 2005 and with a combined Chinese and European VLBI array at 8.4 GHz in 2009. The 2009 observations incorporate for the first time the two new Chinese telescopes at Miyun and Kunming for international astrophysical observations. The observational data, in combination with archival VLBA data from previous epochs, have been used to derive the proper motions of the VLBI components. Because of the long time baseline of $\sim$16 years of the VLBI data sets, the expansion velocities of the hot spots can be measured at an accuracy as high as $\sim$1.3 $μ$as yr$^{-1}$. Six of the ten sources are identified as CSOs with a typical double or triple morphology on the basis of both spectral index maps and their mirror-symmetry of proper motions of the terminal hot spots. The compact double source J1324+4048 is also identified as a CSO candidate. Among the three remaining sources, J1756+5748 and J2312+3847 are identified as core-jet sources with proper motions of their jet components relating to systemic source expansion. The third source J0017+5312 is likely also a core-jet source, but a robust detection of a core is needed for an unambiguous identification. The kinematic ages of the CSOs derived from proper motions range from 300 to 2500 years. The kinematic age distribution of the CSOs confirm an overabundance of compact young CSOs with ages less than 500 years. CSOs with known kinematic ages may be used to study the dynamical evolution of extragalactic radio sources at early stages.

description: Recently, the deformed μ-Bose gas model based on so called μ-deformed oscillators was proposed. For that model, the intercepts of r-particle momentum correlation functions (correlation functions at coinciding momenta of particles) were treated for r=2,3, within certain order of approximation in μ. In this work, we derive for μ-Bose gas model the {\it exact} expressions for r-particle correlation function intercepts, for all r, through Lerch transcendent and find their asymptotics (as functions of μ). For 2-, 3-particle intercepts and deformed distribution function the dependence on particles momentum is presented graphically.

description: Increased greenhouse gas emissions, resulting from our heavy dependence upon fossil fuels, have been found to be directly related to global warming. Global warming may lead to adverse conditions, such as the melting of polar ice caps, raised ocean levels, as well as altered weather patterns producing higher intensity hurricanes and storms. While technological advances, public education, and enacting policy changes are excellent long-term solutions to this problem, carbon sequestration (CS) in addition to other short term solutions may provide a bridge to a sustainable future. Unfortunately, leakage of sequestrated CO2 may contaminate air and water resources as well as adversely affect plant and animal life. These risks must be fully understood and minimized before implementation. A preliminary decision support system (DSS) has been constructed to optimize CS at a given number of potential injection sites, with the goal of minimizing the total cost of CO2 leakage while meeting a specified sequestered mass target. This DSS uses a graphic user interface (GUI) and employs CSUDP, a generalized dynamic programming software, as an optimization driver. A semi-analytical leakage model was integrated into CSUDP's objective function to estimate leakage costs. Based upon work by Nordbotten et al. (2009), this model quantifies the mass of CO2 leakage through weak areas, such as abandoned oil wells, of the caprock overlying the injected aquifer. The resulting DSS uses a wide range of geological, economical, and infrastructural parameters to output optimal CO2 injection rates and injection durations for each site.

description: This study examined the psychometric properties of the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire adapted for a clinical sample of low-income Latinos suffering from depression. Participants (N = 339) were recruited from public primary care centers. Their average age was 49.73 years and the majority was foreign born females of either Mexican or Central American descent. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the factor structure of this measure. Construct and discriminant validity and internal consistency were evaluated. After the elimination of three items because of low factor loadings (< .40) and the specification of seven error covariances, a revised model composed of 24 items had adequate goodness-of-fit indices and factor loadings, supporting construct validity. Each of the subscales reported satisfactory internal consistency. Intercorrelations between the 5 illness perception factors provided initial support for the discriminant validity of these factors in the context of depression. The establishment of the psychometric properties of this adapted measure will pave the way for future studies examining the role illness perceptions play in the help seeking and management of depression among Latinos.

description: The Helfrich-Hurault (HH) elastic instability is a well-known mechanism behind patterns that form as a result of strain upon liquid crystal systems with periodic ground states. In the HH model, layered structures undulate and buckle in response to local, geometric incompatibilities, in order to maintain the preferred layer spacing. Classic HH systems include cholesteric liquid crystals under electromagnetic field distortions and smectic liquid crystals under mechanical strains, where both materials are confined between rigid substrates. However, richer phenomena are observed when undulation instabilities occur in the presence of deformable interfaces and variable boundary conditions. Understanding how the HH instability is affected by deformable surfaces is imperative for applying the instability to a broader range of materials. In this review, we re-examine the HH instability and give special focus to how the boundary conditions influence the mechanical response of lamellar systems to geometrical frustration. We use lamellar liquid crystals confined within a spherical shell geometry as our model system. Made possible by the relatively recent advances in microfluidics within the past 15 years, liquid crystal shells are composed entirely of fluid interfaces and have boundary conditions that can be dynamically controlled at will. We examine past and recent work that exemplifies how topological constraints, molecular anchoring conditions, and boundary curvature can trigger the HH instability in liquid crystals with periodic ground states. We then end by identifying similar phenomena across a wide variety of materials, both biological and synthetic. With this review, we aim to highlight that the HH instability is a generic and often overlooked response of periodic materials to geometrical frustration.

description: What is the size of the most massive object one expects to find in a survey of a given volume? In this paper, we present a solution to this problem using Extreme-Value Statistics, taking into account primordial non-Gaussianity and its effects on the abundance and the clustering of rare objects. We calculate the probability density function (pdf) of extreme-mass clusters in a survey volume, and show how primordial non-Gaussianity shifts the peak of this pdf. We also study the sensitivity of the extreme-value pdfs to changes in the mass functions, survey volume, redshift coverage and the normalization of the matter power spectrum, σ_8. For 'local' non-Gaussianity parametrized by f_NL, our correction for the extreme-value pdf due to the bias is important when f_NL > O(100), and becomes more significant for wider and deeper surveys. Applying our formalism to the massive high-redshift cluster XMMUJ0044.0-2-33, we find that its existence is consistent with f_NL = 0, although the conclusion is sensitive to the assumed values of the survey area and σ_8. We also discuss the convergence of the extreme-value distribution to one of the three possible asymptotic forms, and argue that the convergence is insensitive to the presence of non-Gaussianity.
description: Revised version, 20 pages, 10 figures. Major improvement in the treatment of non-Gaussian bias. Previous claim of large f_NL associated with the cluster is no longer supported

description: Since the early 1980s, epidemiological studies using state-of-the-art methodologies have documented the unmet mental health needs of Latinos adults in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. This paper reviews 16 articles based on seven epidemiological studies, examines studies methodologies, and summarizes findings about how Latino adults access mental health services. Studies consistently report that, compared to non-Latino Whites, Latinos underutilize mental health services, are less likely to receive guideline congruent care, and rely more often on primary care for services. Structural, economic, psychiatric, and cultural factors influence Latinos' service access. In spite of the valuable information these studies provide, methodological limitations (e.g., reliance on cross-sectional designs, scarcity of mixed Latino group samples) constrict knowledge about Latinos access to mental health services. Areas for future research and development needed to improve Latinos' access and quality of mental health care are discussed.

description: Objective: This study examined racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in a nationally representative sample of adults with and without common psychiatric disorders. Method: Data were drawn from Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (N= 34,653). Logistic regression models adjusting for sociodemographic variables and diabetes risk factors were used to examine racial/ethnic differences in 12-month prevalence rates of diabetes by psychiatric status. Results: Among people without psychiatric disorders, African Americans, Hispanics, and American Indians/Alaska Natives, but not Asians/Pacific Islanders, had significantly higher rates of diabetes than non-Hispanic whites even after adjusting for socio-demographic variables and diabetes risk factors. In the presence of psychiatric disorders, these health disparities persisted for African Americans and Hispanics, but not for American Indians/Alaska Natives. No significant interactions between race/ethnicity and psychiatric disorders in the odds of diabetes were found across any group. Conclusion: Policies and services that support culturally appropriate prevention and treatment strategies are needed to reduce racial/ethnic disparities in diabetes among people with and without psychiatric disabilities.

description: Includes the schedule and presentation abstracts only. The 43rd Annual American Geophysical Union Hydrology Days meeting held on March 21-22, 2023 provides a unique opportunity for students, faculty, staff and practitioners to engage in wide range of water-related interdisciplinary research topics. The 2023 event lands on the United Nations' annual World Water Day (March 22) with an emphasis on accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis. In addition, building upon the University's Courageous Strategic Transformation we endeavor to broaden participation across campus as well as regional institutions. This year we encourage presentations from a wide variety of sessions designed to highlight the interconnections of water and linked systems. The Student Showcase will provide an opportunity for students to exchange ideas, present their research findings and refine their science communication skills. Select students will be invited to contribute to a special issue of Colorado Water! Students interested in entering the student competition must adhere to posted deadlines, register and submit an abstract to confirm their participation. Faculty, staff, practitioners and industry representatives are encouraged to attend the event and learn just how poised our students are to enter the workforce – take this opportunity to enhance the student experience and invest in the future! The spring meeting endeavors to expand our attendance beyond engineering and hydrology by engaging colleges across campus to holistically represent the far-reaching facets of water.
