Introduction:
Identifying the most effective ways to support career development of early stage investigators in clinical and translational science should yield benefits for the biomedical research community. Institutions with Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) offer KL2 programs to facilitate career development; however, the sustained impact has not been widely assessed.
Methods:A survey comprised of quantitative and qualitative questions was sent to 2144 individuals that had previously received support through CTSA KL2 mechanisms. The 547 responses were analyzed with identifying information redacted.
Results:Respondents held MD (47%), PhD (36%), and MD/PhD (13%) degrees. After KL2 support was completed, physicians’ time was divided 50% to research and 30% to patient care, whereas PhD respondents devoted 70% time to research. Funded research effort averaged 60% for the cohort. Respondents were satisfied with their career progression. More than 95% thought their current job was meaningful. Two-thirds felt confident or very confident in their ability to sustain a career in clinical and translational research. Factors cited as contributing to career success included protected time, mentoring, and collaborations.
Conclusion:This first large systematic survey of KL2 alumni provides valuable insight into the group’s perceptions of the program and outcome information. Former scholars are largely satisfied with their career choice and direction, national recognition of their expertise, and impact of their work. Importantly, they identified training activities that contributed to success. Our results and future analysis of the survey data should inform the framework for developing platforms to launch sustaining careers of translational scientists.

Background
Opioid use disorder is a major public health crisis, and evidence suggests ways of better serving patients who live with opioid use disorder in the emergency department (ED). A multi-disciplinary team developed a quality improvement project to implement this evidence.
MethodsThe intervention was developed by an expert working group consisting of specialists and stakeholders. The group set goals of increasing prescribing of buprenorphine/naloxone and providing next day walk-in referrals to opioid use disorder treatment clinics. From May to September 2018, three Alberta ED sites and three opioid use disorder treatment clinics worked together to trial the intervention. We used administrative data to track the number of ED visits where patients were given buprenorphine/naloxone. Monthly ED prescribing rates before and after the intervention were considered and compared with eight nonintervention sites. We considered whether patients continued to fill opioid agonist treatment prescriptions at 30, 60, and 90 days after their index ED visit to measure continuity in treatment.
ResultsThe intervention sites increased their prescribing of buprenorphine/naloxone during the intervention period and prescribed more buprenorphine/naloxone than the controls. Thirty-five of 47 patients (74.4%) discharged from the ED with buprenorphine/naloxone continued to fill opioid agonist treatment prescriptions 30 days and 60 days after their index ED visit. Thirty-four patients (72.3%) filled prescriptions at 90 days.
ConclusionsEmergency clinicians can effectively initiate patients on buprenorphine/naloxone when supports for this standardized evidence-based care are in place within their practice setting and timely follow-up in community is available.

A 2-yr experiment repeated at five locations across the northeastern United States evaluated the effect of weed density and time of glyphosate application on weed control and corn grain yield using a single postemergence (POST) application. Three weed densities, designed to reduce corn yields by 10, 25, and 50%, were established across the locations, using forage sorghum as a surrogate weed. At each weed density, a single application of glyphosate at 1.12 kg ai/ha was applied to glyphosate-resistant corn at the V2, V4, V6, and V8 growth stages. At low and medium weed densities, the V4 through V8 applications provided nearly complete weed control and yields equivalent to the weed-free treatment. Weed biomass and the potential for weed seed production from subsequent weed emergence made the V2 timing less effective. At high weed densities, the V4 followed by the V6 timing provided the most effective weed control, while maintaining corn yield. Weed competition from subsequent weed emergence in the V2 application and the duration of weed competition in the V8 timing reduced yield on average by 12 and 15%, respectively. This research shows that single POST applications can be successful but weed density and herbicide timing are key elements.

Laser thermal processing (LTP) of Si involves laser melting a preamorphized layer in order to activate dopants and create a low resistivity contact. Defects are often observed to form during the recrystallization of the molten layer. This work focuses on varying the implant conditions and the pre-LTP annealing conditions in an effort to reduce these defect concentrations. The effect of very low temperature anneals (VLTA) and varying dose rates on the amorphous/crystalline interface roughness prior to LTP and the defect density after LTP have been investigated. The amorphous layer was created by a 10 keV 1×1015/cm2 Si+ implant. VLTA were conducted in a nitrogen gas furnace at temperatures between 400°C and 450°C for times between 5 minutes and 60 minutes. These anneals were chosen to minimize recrystallization of the amorphous layer by solid phase epitaxial regrowth. Variation in the dose rate from 0.06 mA/cm2 to 0.48 mA/cm2 was achieved by changing the beam current in the ion implanter. High-resolution crosssectional transmission electron microscopy (HR-XTEM) was used to analyze the effect of the VLTA or dose rate on the amorphous/crystalline interface. Results show that the 400°C 60 minute VLTA or the 0.48 mA/cm2 dose rate reduced the roughness of the amorphous/crystalline interface from over 45Å to around 15Å. This reduction in amorphous/crystalline interface roughness prior to laser thermal processing results in a reduction in LTP recrystallization defects by as much as an order of magnitude.

Summary
When we want to know what someone is thinking, how they are feeling, or what they might do, the first place we frequently look is to their face. This makes considerable sense because the human face is capable of generating expressions associated with a wide range of affective states; the grimace of pain, the sneer of contempt, the glare of anger, the averted eyes of shame, the wide-eyed look of surprise, the intent stare of interest, the quizzical look of puzzlement, the frozen stare of terror, the radiant smile of joy, the sly grin of mischief, and much more, all emanate from the face. Indeed, it could be argued that the face has the only skeletal muscles of the body that are used, not to move ourselves, but to move others.
Given that the face is an important channel of social communication, among the questions that arise are: What are the major messages that are communicated through this channel, and how are they encoded? Facial actions can clearly be used to communicate information other than an individual's emotional state (see Bavelas, Black, Lemery, & Mullett, 1986; Bavelas & Chovil, chapter 15, this volume; Ekman, 1979; Fridlund, 1994). However, from Darwin (1872/1965) to the present, the main focus of research on facial expression has been on the expression of emotion, and for the bulk of this chapter, we maintain this focus.
