Newborn screening timeliness quality improvement initiative: Impact of national recommendations and data repository by Marci K. Sontag (8662200)

“…Goals developed by the Secretary of Health and Human Services’ Advisory Committee on Heritable Disorders in Newborns and Children (ACHDNC) for NBS timeliness were adopted (time-critical results reported by five days of life, and non-time-critical results reported by day seven), and implemented into a multi-year quality improvement initiative (NewSTEPS 360) aimed to decrease the time to result reporting and intervention.…”

Narrative, Literature and the Experience of Illness, University of Pittsburgh by Post Discipline Admin (12858854)

“…Likewise, I believe that to write is to take part in the profound act of witness: the more people who try to write, who try to create a world out of twenty-six letters and their infinite combinations, the more likely we will be to see, for better or worse, what we’re capable of in terms of empathy and compassion...I think we read and write out of an unbounded curiosity about humanity. …”

Evolution of Canada’s Boreal Forest Spatial Patterns as Seen from Space by Paul D. Pickell (3159126)

“…Rapidly changing landscapes, defined as the 90^th percentile of forest cover change, were among the most forested initially and were characterized by four times greater decrease in largest forest patch index, three times greater increase in forest edge density, and four times greater decrease in core forest cover compared with all 50,000 ha landscapes. …”

Population sorting II. by Xavier Manière (230820)

“…Calling f₁(x) and f₂(x) the two position distributions, the fraction of population 1 over population 2 as a function of the distance traveled is given by .When starting from a fictitious 50% mix of wild-type and any of the mutant strains <i>acr-16</i>, <i>unc-29</i> or <i>unc-29;acr-16</i> (see text), the sub-population is quickly enriched in wild-type worms (faster worms) as the distance of capture increases. …”
