Abramowitz, Sheppie oral history interview
No full textSheppie (Glass) Abramowitz was born in Baltimore, Maryland on December 17, 1935. Her parents were Ida and Benjamin Glass. She attended the Park School in Baltimore, and then went to Bryn Mawr College to study history. After graduation, she decided to look for work in Washington. She was hired in the office of Congressman Frank Coffin, and worked in that office as a file clerk from 1958 to 1959. She married Morton Abramowitz, a State Department employee, in 1959. They lived in Taipei from 1959 to 1963. She then worked in university governmental relations. Around 1970, she was hired onto Senator Muskie’s presidential campaign. She worked on the campaign until its end. She worked again in university governmental relations after leaving the campaign, as well as traveling with her husband. She became active in the International Rescue Committee while working with her husband. At the time of interview she was vice president of the International Rescue Committee

Selective laser trabeculoplasty vs micropulse laser trabeculoplasty in open-angle glaucoma

Patients and methods: In all, 38 patients were randomized to 360° MLT and 31 patients were randomized to 360° SLT. IOP was measured at intervals of 1 hour and 1, 1–6, 6–12, 6–24, 24–36, and 36–52 weeks. Patients completed a survey 1 week after the procedure. Patients with end-stage, neovascular, uveitic, or angle-closure glaucoma were excluded. Treatment response was defined as an IOP reduction of ≥20.0% or ≥3 mmHg from baseline. Results: IOP was lowered to ≥3 mmHg from baseline among 37.0% of the micropulse patients and 36.0% of patients in the selective laser group at 24–52 weeks. Similarly, 29.6% of the micropulse patients and 36.0% of the selective laser patients experienced a 20.0% IOP decrease from baseline during the 24–52-week interval (P=0.77). Both groups revealed similar reductions in IOP as absolute values and percentage decreases from baseline at all intervals up to 52 weeks post treatment. There were more treatment failures in the micropulse group up to 52 weeks post laser treatment; however, this was not statistically significant. The micropulse group reported less pain both during and after the procedure (P=0.005). Conclusion: Micropulse trabeculoplasty has demonstrated similar efficacy to SLT over a 52-week follow-up period with less discomfort experienced both during and after the procedure.

Relationships between bifurcation and numerical analyses for ignition of hydrogen-air diffusion flames
No full textLinear bifurcation and numerical techniques are employed to determine critical conditions for ignition in steady, counterflow, nonpremixed hydrogen-air systems, with varying degrees of nitrogen dilution of the fuel, at temperatures larger than the crossover temperature associated with the second explosion limit for hydrogen. Analysis of profiles of the radical pool at ignition reveals that, irrespective of the degree of dilution of the fuel or oxidizer streams, the O-atom steady state fails on the oxidizer side of the mixing layer. Therefore, at least three overall steps, with O and H atoms as the chain-branching species, are necessary to describe the ignition process. A simplified model with variable density, specific heat and transport properties, and with Stefan-Maxwell approximations for the diffusion velocities, is proposed to describe the structure of the H2-O2- N2 weakly reactive mixing layer. Results of bifurcation analysis with this flow-field model and a three-step reduced chemical-kinetic scheme show excellent agreement with results of numerical integration of the full conservation equations with detailed chemistry for all degrees of dilution of the fuel feed
