Interactions between shock waves and boundary layers produce flow separations and augmented pressure/thermal loads in hypersonic flight. This study provides details of Mach 7 impinging-shock-flat-plate experiments conducted in the T4 Stalker Tube. Measurements were taken at flow conditions of Mach 7.0 (2.44 MJ kg$^{-1}$) and Mach 7.7 (2.88 MJ kg$^{-1}$) flight enthalpies with a range of freestream unit Reynolds numbers from $1.43 \times 10^{6}$ m$^{-1}$ to $5.01 \times 10^{6}$ m$^{-1}$. A shock generator at $12^{\circ }$ or $16^{\circ }$ to the freestream created an oblique shock which impinged on a boundary layer over a flat plate to induce flow separation. The flow field was examined using simultaneous measurements of wall static pressure, heat transfer and schlieren visualisation. Measured heat transfer along the flat plate without the shock impingement indicated that the boundary layer remained laminar for all flow conditions. The shock impingement flow field was successfully established within the facility test duration. The onset of separation was observed by a rise in wall pressure and a decrease in heat transfer at the location corresponding to the stem of the separation shock. Downstream of this initial rise, an increased pressure and higher heating loads were observed. The heat-transfer levels also indicated an immediate boundary layer transition due to the shock impingement. The separation data of the present work showed good agreement with our previous work on shock impingement on heated walls (Chang et al., J. Fluid Mech., vol. 908, 2021, pp. 1–13). A comparison with the previous scaling indicated that the separation also relates to the pressure ratio and the wall temperature parameter.

Elevated wall temperatures and impinging shock interactions are prevalent features in hypersonic flight. Currently, there is a lack of literature regarding experimental studies examining both features in a flight-representative environment. This work details hot-wall, hypersonic, impinging shock/boundary-layer interaction experiments performed in the T4 Stalker Tube. The model configuration was a two-dimensional heated flat plate and a shock generator. The surface of the graphite flat plate was resistively heated to a mean temperature from $T_w=298\ \textrm {K}$ to $T_w\approx 675\ \textrm {K}$ during an experimental run. An oblique shock, generated by a plate that was inclined at $10^{\circ }$ or $12^{\circ }$ to the free stream, was impinged on the heated flat plate to induce boundary layer separation. The primary flow condition produced Mach 7 flight-equivalent nozzle-supply enthalpy with a unit Reynolds number of $4.93\times 10^6\ \textrm {m}^{-1}$. More flow conditions with lower unit Reynolds numbers and flow enthalpies were considered to examine flow separation characteristics. Schlieren and infrared thermography captured the flow field and the wall temperature distribution, respectively. The results showed that the size of the flow separation grew with a higher $T_w$ and a lower unit Reynolds number. Moreover, the scaled separation of the present data showed a high discrepancy with existing separation correlations developed from a supersonic impinging shock and a hypersonic compression ramp, mainly due to the higher shock strength. Instead, the present data followed a scaling law that includes the pressure ratio across the impinging shock with a slight dependence on the wall temperature ratio.

Bengal dayflower (also known as tropical spiderwort) is one of the most troublesome weeds in peanut in Georgia, United States. Field studies conducted in 2004 and 2005 evaluated the relationship between the duration of Bengal dayflower interference and peanut yield in an effort to optimize the timing of weed control. In 2004, the critical period of weed control (CPWC) necessary to avoid greater than 5% peanut yield loss was between 316 and 607 growing degree days (GDD), which corresponded to an interval between June 8 and July 2. In 2005, the CPWC ranged from 185 to 547 GDD, an interval between May 30 and July 3. Maximum yield loss in 2005 from season-long interference of Bengal dayflower was 51%. In 2004, production of peanut pods was eliminated by interference with Bengal dayflower for the initial 6 wk (495 GDD) of the growing season. Robust Bengal dayflower growth in 2004 shaded the peanut crop, likely intercepting fungicide applications and causing a reduction in peanut yield. Therefore, the competitive effects of Bengal dayflower are likely complicated with the activity of plant pathogens. In spite of higher Bengal dayflower population densities, greater Bengal dayflower growth, and greater peanut yield losses in 2004 than in 2005, the CPWC was a relatively similar 4-wk period that ended during the first week of July, for peanut that was planted in the first week of May.

Although the burrows and trails in the Upper Ordovician rocks around Cincinnati, Ohio, have been fully documented and are well known (Osgood, 1970), comparatively little attention has been paid to the borers. Nevertheless, borers are very common in a variety of hard substrates in these rocks. These substrates include the skeletons of bryozoans, corals, and stromatoporoids (Palmer and Wilson, 1988), as well as cobbles and hardgrounds (Palmer, 1982; Wilson, 1985). By far the most common type of boring is the elongate tube Trypanites, which could have been made by a variety of filter-feeding worms. Trypanites is common on hard substrates throughout the lower Paleozoic (Palmer, 1982).

Borings of the ichnogenus Gastrochaenolites have been found in limestone cobbles of the Morrowan (Early Pennsylvanian) Cane Hill Member of the Hale Formation in northwestern Arkansas. They were likely excavated by lithophagid bivalves, thus extending the earliest record of obligate bivalve boring back from the Triassic into the upper Paleozoic. These borings are herein referred to as G. anauchen n. ichnosp. Lithophagid borings may be rare in the upper Paleozoic because of the absence or scarcity of suitable substrates, such as scleractinian corals or carbonate hardgrounds. Additional upper Paleozoic bivalve borings will likely be discovered in other carbonate-rich rocky shore deposits.

OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) implemented in a hospital with low baseline antibiotic use.
DESIGNQuasi-experimental, interrupted time-series study.
SETTINGPublic safety net hospital with 525 beds.
INTERVENTIONImplementation of a formal ASP in July 2008.
METHODSWe conducted a time-series analysis to evaluate the impact of the ASP over a 6.25-year period (July 1, 2008–September 30, 2014) while controlling for trends during a 3-year preintervention period (July 1, 2005–June 30, 2008). The primary outcome measures were total antibacterial and antipseudomonal use in days of therapy (DOT) per 1,000 patient-days (PD). Secondary outcomes included antimicrobial costs and resistance, hospital-onset Clostridium difficile infection, and other patient-centered measures.
RESULTSDuring the preintervention period, total antibacterial and antipseudomonal use were declining (−9.2 and −5.5 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter, respectively). During the stewardship period, both continued to decline, although at lower rates (−3.7 and −2.2 DOT/1,000 PD, respectively), resulting in a slope change of 5.5 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter for total antibacterial use (P=.10) and 3.3 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter for antipseudomonal use (P=.01). Antibiotic expenditures declined markedly during the stewardship period (−$295.42/1,000 PD per quarter, P=.002). There were variable changes in antimicrobial resistance and few apparent changes in C. difficile infection and other patient-centered outcomes.
CONCLUSIONIn a hospital with low baseline antibiotic use, implementation of an ASP was associated with sustained reductions in total antibacterial and antipseudomonal use and declining antibiotic expenditures. Common ASP outcome measures have limitations.

A log-coffin excavated in the early nineteenth century proved to be well enough preserved in the early twenty-first century for the full armoury of modern scientific investigation to give its occupants and contents new identity, new origins and a new date. In many ways the interpretation is much the same as before: a local big man buried looking out to sea. Modern analytical techniques can create a person more real, more human and more securely anchored in history. This research team shows how.

Objectives and Methods: Many authors have argued that ethical, legal, and social issues (“ELSIs”) should be explicitly integrated into health technology assessment (HTA), yet doing so poses challenges. This discussion may be particularly salient for technologies viewed as ethically complex, such as genetic screening. Here we provide a brief overview of contemporary discussions of the issues from the HTA literature. We then describe key existing policy evaluation frameworks in the fields of disease screening and public health genomics. Finally, we map the insights from the HTA literature to the policy evaluation frameworks, with discussion of the implications for HTA in genetic screening.
Results and Conclusions: A critical discussion in the HTA literature considers the definition of ELSIs in HTA, highlighting the importance of thinking beyond ELSIs as impacts of technology. Existing HTA guidance on integrating ELSIs relates to three broad approaches: literature synthesis, involvement of experts, and consideration of stakeholder values. The thirteen key policy evaluation frameworks relating to disease screening and public health genomics identified a range of ELSIs relevant to genetic screening. Beyond straightforward impacts of screening, these ELSIs require consideration of factors such as the social and political context surrounding policy decisions. The three broad approaches to addressing ELSIs described above are apparent in the screening/genomics literatures. In integrating these findings we suggest that the method chosen for addressing ELSIs in HTA for genetic screening may determine which ELSIs are prioritized; and that an important challenge is the lack of guidance for evaluating such methods.

AbstractAs in vivo cellular imaging becomes the necessary norm for understanding cancer and other diseases, new non-toxic nanoprobes are going to be required to replace the high quality cadmium based nanoprobes in use today. We are developing less toxic probes based on two types of luminescent ceramic nanoparticles: naturally occurring fluorescent (NOF) mimics and Ln-based ceramic oxide materials. The NOF minerals of interest and that have demonstrated initial luminosity of sufficient brightness for use in cellular studies that include sphalerite, scheelite, manganoan and perovskite nanoparticles. For Ln-based materials we have shown that Ln-doped zincite will also luminesce enough to allow for quantification in cellular activity. Once formed, these probes are functionalized such that they can be delivered to desired cellular targets. Probe derivatization has focused on surface capping with functionalized poly(ethyleneglycol) molecules/lipids to yield water soluble NCs and polyarginine-based transporters for transmembrane delivery. The probes are being evaluated for their luminescent properties, as well as their non-toxicity and ability to report on cell-signaling events with various cell lines using multi-spectral, confocal microscopy, and other techniques. Preliminary interdisciplinary studies have validated the basic approaches for the synthesis of NOF nanoprobes and the bio-delivery and imaging of nanoparticles. Work to optimize the design, delivery, and imaging of these new nanoprobes is expected to achieve the NIH directed goal of increasing in the sensitivity and specificity of molecular probes for imaging. Details of the synthesis, functionalization and biological imaging using these probes will be presented.

Summary
He who deliberates lengthily will not always choose the best.
– GoetheIntrospection is often considered a uniquely human capability. Other species possess sophisticated cognitive and communicative skills (e.g., Premack & Premack, 1983; Ristau & Robbins, 1982), but as far as we know, we are the only species that thinks about its thoughts and feelings. Given the possibly unique status of our ability to self-reflect, it is tempting to view self-reflection as a uniformly beneficial activity. This assumption has been made, at least implicitly, by theorists in several areas of psychology. Many forms of psychotherapy view introspection as an integral part of the healing process, and some decision theorists argue that reflection about a choice will lead to better decision making (e.g., Janis & Mann, 1977; Koriat, Lichtenstein, & Fischhoff, 1980; Raiffa, 1968). Similarly, Langer (1978, 1989) has argued that we would be better off in most contexts if we were more “mindful” and contemplative about our actions.
Introspection and self-reflection undoubtedly can be very useful, with the ability to superimpose reason and discretion on otherwise impulsive actions. There is no reason to assume that introspection is always beneficial, however, and in fact, there may be times when it is best to avoid too much of it. There is a growing literature documenting the drawbacks of self-reflection and rumination. Morrow and Nolan-Hoeksema (1990) found that people who ruminated about a negative mood were less successful in improving their moods than people who performed a distracting task.

Summary
I am the happiest man alive. I have that in me that can convert poverty into riches, adversity into prosperity, and I am more invulnerable than Achilles; fortune hath not one place to hit me.
Sir Thomas Browne, Religio Medici (1642)Imagine that one morning your telephone rings and you find yourself speaking with the King of Sweden, who informs you in surprisingly good English that you have been selected as this year's recipient of a Nobel Prize. How would you feel, and how long would you feel that way? Although some things are better than instant celebrity and a significant bank deposit, most people would be hard pressed to name three, and thus most people would probably expect this news to create a sharp and lasting upturn in their emotional lives. Now imagine that the telephone call is from your college president, who regrets to inform you (in surprisingly good English) that the Board of Regents has dissolved your department, revoked your appointment, and stored your books in little cardboard boxes in the hallway. How would you feel, and how long would you feel that way? Losing one's livelihood has all the hallmarks of a major catastrophe, and most people would probably expect this news to have an enduring negative impact on their emotional lives.
Such expectations are often important and often wrong. They are important because people's actions are based in large measure on their implicit and explicit predictions of the emotional consequences of future events.
Metal ion binding and the folding of the hairpin ribozyme

The hairpin ribozyme comprises two formally unpaired loops carried on two arms of a four-way helical RNA junction. Addition of divalent metal ions brings about a conformational transition into an antiparallel structure in which there is an intimate association between the loops to generate the active form of the ribozyme. In this study, we have used fluorescence resonance energy transfer to analyze the global folding of the complete ribozyme, and the simple four-way junction derived from it, over a wide concentration range of divalent and monovalent metal ions. The simple junction undergoes an ion-induced rotation into an antiparallel form. In the presence of a constant background concentration of sodium ions, the magnesium-ion-induced transition is characterized by noncooperative binding with a Hill coefficient n = 1. By contrast, the magnesium-ion-induced folding of the complete ribozyme is more complex, involving two distinct binding phases. The first phase occurs in the micromolar range, and involves the cooperative binding of at least three magnesium ions. This can also be achieved by high concentrations of sodium ions, and is therefore likely to be due to diffuse binding of cations at the junction and the interface of the loop–loop interaction. The second phase occurs in the millimolar range, and can only be induced by divalent metal ions. This transition occurs in response to the noncooperative, site-specific binding of magnesium ions. We observe a good correlation between the extent of ion-induced folding and cleavage activity.
The folding of the hairpin ribozyme: Dependence on the loops and the junction

In its natural context, the hairpin ribozyme is constructed around a four-way helical junction. This presents the two loops that interact to form the active site on adjacent arms, requiring rotation into an antiparallel structure to bring them into proximity. In the present study we have compared the folding of this form of the ribozyme and subspecies lacking either the loops or the helical junction using fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The complete ribozyme as a four-way junction folds into an antiparallel structure by the cooperative binding of magnesium ions, requiring 20–40 μM for half-maximal extent of folding ([Mg2+]1/2) and a Hill coefficient n = 2. The isolated junction (lacking the loops) also folds into a corresponding antiparallel structure, but does so noncooperatively (n = 1) at a higher magnesium ion concentration ([Mg2+]1/2 = 3 mM). Introduction of a G + 1A mutation into loop A of the ribozyme results in a species with very similar folding to the simple junction, and complete loss of ribozyme activity. Removal of the junction from the ribozyme, replacing it either with a strand break (serving as a hinge) or a GC5 bulge, results in greatly impaired folding, with [Mg2+]1/2 > 20 mM. The results indicate that the natural form of the ribozyme undergoes ion-induced folding by the cooperative formation of an antiparallel junction and loop–loop interaction to generate the active form of the ribozyme. The four-way junction thus provides a scaffold in the natural RNA that facilitates the folding of the ribozyme into the active form.
