Powering Up Clinical Practice: Mastering Clinical Literature Search Techniques – 2026 Jan HSLIC Workshop
No full textThis HSLIC workshop introduces practical clinical literature search techniques, focusing on how to translate clinical questions into structured database searches and efficiently navigate core resources. Topics include identifying key concepts, using Boolean operators, truncation, wildcards, phrase searching, proximity operators, subject headings (MeSH/Emtree), building multi-concept search strategies, and accessing full text through HSLIC tools and service.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/hslic-posters-presentations/1219/thumbnail.jp
An Optically Pumped Comagnetometer for High-sensitivity RF Detection without Magnetic Shielding
No full textWe develop an optically-pumped magnetometer (OPM) sensitive in the radiofrequency( RF) regime based on 85Rb in a natural abundance rubidium vapor cell to operate in dynamic geomagnetic field environments. Because high sensitivity operation of RF OPMs requires control of the magnetic field environment near DC, we develop an OPM comagnetometer that also utilizes the 87Rb present within the same vapor cell to implement a secondary OPM variometer that provides information on the field-environment near DC. This information is used to provide feedback via a set of tri-axial field control coils that counters the unwanted effects of external geomagnetic fields from DC to 60 Hz, which in turn allows RF OPM operation with an intrinsic sensitivity of around 9 fT/√Hz presence of external magnetic fields on the order of 10s of µT
Powering Up Clinical Scholarship in Urology
No full textThis presentation introduces core concepts of clinical scholarship for urology residents and faculty, with a focus on turning clinical questions into structured literature searches and using HSLIC resources to support small-scale scholarly projects. Key topics include framing answerable clinical questions (e.g., PICOT), navigating core clinical information tools (PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, ClinicalKey, UpToDate, HSLIC LibGuides), applying practical literature search techniques (Boolean operators, truncation, wildcards, proximity operators, subject headings), documenting basic search strategies, accessing full text (LibKey Nomad, proxy authentication, interlibrary loan and document delivery), and an introductory overview of critical appraisal tools and publishing supports available through HSLIC.https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/hslic-posters-presentations/1218/thumbnail.jp
Active Brazing of Single Crystal Al2O3 to Kovar Alloy with AgCuZr Filler Metal
No full textBrazing provides high strength and hermetic joining between metal, ceramic, and composite materials. Origins of the brazing process trace back to 3000BC, yet the technique continues to maintain relevance and demand across aerospace, medical, electronic, optical, and mechanical engineering. Here, single crystal Al2O3 (sapphire) was joined to Kovar in a single step via an AgCuZr active braze filler metal. The microstructure of the completed joint was investigating using microscopy and spectroscopy techniques. A unique braze chamber, paired with an optically clear top substrate (sapphire), allowed further investigation into the dynamics of the active braze process via in situ video monitoring. The collected video data was used to select five quench points in the prescribed thermal cycle ramp. Each quenched sample underwent postmortem microscopy and spectroscopy analysis, making it possible to track microstructure evolution across the thermal cycle. In situ monitoring provided new insight into the reactions that occur in active braze joining, especially at the interface between the filler metal and Al2O3 substrate, and provides a method for real-time investigation of brazing parameters moving forward
