We present the first results of Fermilab Muon g-2 Experiment for positive muon magnetic anomaly $a_\mu \equiv (g_\mu-2)/2$. The is determined from precision measurements two angular frequencies. Intensity variation high-energy positrons decays directly encodes difference frequency $\omega_a$ between spin-precession and cyclotron frequencies polarized muons in a storage ring. ring field measured using nuclear resonance probes calibrated terms equivalent proton spin precession...
Abstract Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) have become a major global health concern. They constitute the leading cause of disabilities, increased morbidity, mortality, and socio-economic disasters worldwide. Medical condition-specific digital biomarker (DB) panels emerged as valuable tools to manage NCDs. DBs refer measurable quantifiable physiological, behavioral, environmental parameters collected for an individual through innovative technologies, including wearables, smart...
This qualitative study gives voice to Latino fathers’ perceptions of their roles and values in family life by analyzing data collected from 32 men residing an Urban Mexican setting both urban rural settings the U.S. The authors utilize a symbolic interactionist framework ecological theory illustrate cultural nature fatherhood constructions, impact immigration on patterns change continuity paternal behaviors values, importance intergenerational influences formation perceptions. Fathers...
Parent involvement programs can play an essential role in the academic success of Latino youth. This article reports effectiveness and evaluation two new Extension that help parents become more involved their youths' academics. The Family Advocacy Support Training (LPFAST) targets K- 8th grade students, Juntos Para Una Mejor Educación (Together for a Better Education) program was created to serve 6th-12th students parents. These demonstrate innovative approaches involve communities schools...
High parental involvement has consistently been shown to enhance academic achievement among Latino youth. Still, some youth continue thrive academically despite low involvement. The Theory of Rationality suggests that the impact even potentially negative behaviors depends on how behavior is interpreted. To test application this theory "noninvolvement" Latinos, we assessed adolescent rationales about their parents' noninvolvement in schooling affected grade point average (GPA). Results showed...
A survey of 982 Extension educators from 12 southern states provides a snapshot their experiences working with Latino communities. The objective this article was to gather data regarding educators' desire and perceived ability work the new audiences in communities inform development cultural competency training. rapid growth Hispanic population rural South has left many offices ill prepared meet these clients' needs. Suggestions for helping develop effective partnerships provide bilingual...
Military personnel and families experience significant challenges need skills that will prepare them for extended periods of separation other military demands. Relationship marriage education programs are often helpful. However, there is a life also teach members to manage finances legal matters, garner social support, access community resources not accessible in the National Guard Reserves. Essential Life Skills Families was developed integrate relationship into short‐term course has been...
Abstract The Muon g -2 Experiment at Fermilab uses a gaseous straw tracking detector to make detailed measurements of the stored muon beam profile, which are essential for experiment achieve its uncertainty goals. Positrons from decays spiral inward and pass through before striking an electromagnetic calorimeter. is therefore located inside vacuum chamber in region where magnetic field large non-uniform. As such, must have low leak rate maintain high-quality vacuum, be non-magnetic so as not...
Preprogram and postprogram surveys of 241 Latinx 4-H youths from five counties in North Carolina provided a snapshot their experiences the Juntos program. The study findings demonstrate that has positive impacts on academics, college readiness, parent engagement, community engagement. Suggestions are made to help Extension professionals elsewhere develop effective programs for youths.
Introduction Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder in which one or more parathyroid glands overproduce hormone, leading to hypercalcemia. It may present with symptoms like constipation, abdominal pain, psychiatric complaints as well signs of nephrolithiasis, and osteoporosis that need surgical treatment. PHPT often underdiagnosed undertreated. Our study aimed review hypercalcemia single center evaluate for undiagnosed PHPT. Methods A group 546 patients from Southwest Virginia was...
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to increase worldwide leading increased health and economic burden on healthcare system. Pharmacists are an essential part delivery, play a significant role in patient outreach can assist with medication titration. Our study was retrospective review clinical pharmacists the management patients poorly controlled diabetes, defined as A1c level >9.0%, efficacy reduction using this intervention. This involved six who provided ADA Standards Care...
Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects a pharmacist managed monitoring and interaction program using continuous glucose in population poorly controlled (A1C >10 %) patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: This conducted outpatient clinical setting examined levels Time Range A1C for 12 diabetes as indicated by an level greater than 10%. intervention included use monitor (CGM) weekly interactions either virtually or telephone one team members. Results: After 13 weeks,...
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects a weekly monitoring interaction using continuous glucose (CGM) in population poorly controlled type 2 diabetes patients. Methods: This conducted outpatient clinical setting and examined levels hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) time range (TIR) for 16 patients with as indicated by an HbA1c level greater than 10%. intervention included use monitor interactions either virtually or telephone one team members. Results: After 3-month period,...
Background: Hypothyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders.Most patients with hypothyroidism have autoimmune thyroiditis (Hashimoto's), characterized by elevated concentrations anti-thyroperoxidase (ATPO) antibodies.Both overt (OH) and subclinical (SH) been associated cardiovascular risk factors, including markers inflammation.Highsensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) a veridical marker systemic inflammation.Even minor increase in hs-CRP considered risk; therefore, evidence...
Cooperative Extension professionals have a long tradition of helping improve the lives families they serve by sharing research-based information. More than ever, are getting their information online, creating need for to deliver content via technology. This article describes training designed teach ways increase reach through use technology in work. attended an 8-hour, face-to-face which completed pre, post, and follow-up survey. Results from indicated that this was effective changing...
Family Life Coaching (FLC) is an emerging approach to serving families that blends family science and coaching psychology. While life growing, there limited research on the perceptions of about coaching. This study explores parental knowledge opinions as a way help deal with parenting issues across course. Findings from this mixed methods support preferences further suggest parents idea hiring coach or professional assist in meeting their goals.
Computation of common normal between a pair wheel and rail surface is an important sub problem in railroad simulations. In this study, it shown that there are special position orientation every wheelset makes the governing equation for computation degenerate. This condition leads to divergence Newton’s iterate. To develop procedure can successfully compute straight wheelset, first parametric track coordinate system developed. Then four nonlinear equations whose solution location constructed....
