TBD Nima Arkani-Hamed (IAS): Thoughts on Particle Dark Matter

Pediatric hospitalists continue to search for ways to provide the safest and highest quality of care for our patients. We all want to recognize the deteriorating patient and bring additional resources to the patient or the patient to the resources. Pediatric Early Warning Systems (PEWS) have been developed, and some even validated, as tools to quickly identify the deteriorating hospitalized ped...

[reaction: see text] Computational methods were used to determine the structure, bonding, and aggregation states of oxiranyllithium in the gas phase and in THF solution, at 200 and 298 K. THF solvation was modeled by microsolvation with explicit THF ligands, forming a supermolecule that includes the oxiranyllithium aggregate and its first solvation shell. Because oxiranyllithium has a chiral ce...

Behaviors of patients with psychiatric illness who are hospitalized on nonbehavioral health units can be difficult to address by staff members. Instituting a rapid response team to proactively de-escalate potential volatile situations on nonpsychiatric units in a hospital allows earlier treatment of behavioral issues with these patients. The behavioral emergency response team (BERT) consists of...

Perspectives The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has firmly placed disability in a human rights perspective. In the context of the Convention, disability refers to activity limitations and participation restrictions that result from the interaction of an impairment of body function or structure with environmental factors. The Convention addresses the rights ...

We describe the Agents Channelling ContExt Sensitive Services (ACCESS) architecture, an open agent-based architecture that supports the development and deployment of multiple heterogeneous context sensitive services. We detail the ACCESS architecture paying particular attention to three facets, which illustrate the intelligent cooperation between the agents at its core: map caching, user profil...

A cluster of hepatitis A cases in the Orthodox Jewish community in London, United Kingdom in July 2010 has triggered extensive contact tracing and vaccination. Two primary cases imported from a common source in Israel and three secondary cases have resulted in immunisation of over 900 contacts to date. Rapid response by local public health, primary care services and a dedicated community health...

The current Canadian response to homelessness focuses on prevention, rapid transition out of homelessness, and the provision of emergency services. However, until the structural conditions that create and perpetuate homelessness are addressed, efforts to end homelessness will be limited at best. In this editorial, the director of the Canadian Homelessness Research Network and the Homeless Hub p...

Effective application of systems engineering in rapid response environments has been difficult, particularly those where large, complex brownfield systems or systems of systems exist and are constantly being updated with both short and long term software enhancements. This paper proposes a general case for solving this problem by combining a services approach to systems engineering with a kanba...
