Professor Ronda Callister Spoke at TEDxUSU on “Reducing Barriers to Women’s Contributions”
No full textProfessor Ronda Callister had to compete to become one of just eight presenters at the first ever TEDxUSU event, held in November. She used her requisite “18 minutes of innovative ideas” to describe the powerful, world-changing effects that would likely ensue from enabling women to become full contributors to human well-being and progress.https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/huntsman_news/1058/thumbnail.jp

Topological BPS charges in 10- and 11-dimensional supergravity
No full textIn this thesis we construct closed expressions that correspond to the topological charges of the various BPS branes of the IIA, IIB and supergravity theories. These expressions are related to the structure of the SUSY algebras in curved spacetimes. We consider charges for all the M-, NS- and D-branes as well as the Kaluza-Klein monopoles. Additionally we consider the symmetry that exists in the IIB theory and theory in a double M9-brane background, and determine the charges for the remaining branes that fill up the multiplets. These include the charges corresponding to the multiplets of 7 and 9-branes in IIB as well as several new types of branes in . We find that examining the possible multiplet structures of the charges provides another tool for exploring the spectrum of BPS branes that appear in these theories. Furthermore, we demonstrate how these charges map between theories. As a prerequisite to constructing some of the charges we determine the field equations and multiplet structure of the gauge potentials, extending previous results on the subject. The massive gauge transformations of the fields are also discussed, and we demonstrate how they are compatible with the construction of an covariant kinetic term in the Kaluza-Klein monopole worldvolume action
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

Pre-diagnostic prescribing patterns in dyspnoea patients with as-yet-undiagnosed lung cancer: A longitudinal study of linked primary care and cancer registry data
No full textIntroduction: Patients with as-yet undiagnosed lung cancer (LC) can present to primary care with non-specific symptoms such as dyspnoea, often in the context of pre-existing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Related medication prescriptions pre-diagnosis might represent opportunities for earlier diagnosis, but UK evidence is limited. Consequently, we explored prescribing patterns of relevant medications in patients who presented with dyspnoea in primary care and were subsequently diagnosed with LC. Method: Linked primary care (Clinical Practice Research Datalink) and National Cancer Registry data were used to identify 5434 patients with incident LC within a year of a dyspnoea presentation in primary care between 2006 and 2016. Primary care prescriptions relevant to dyspnoea management were examined: antibiotics, inhaled medications, oral steroids, and opioid analgesics. Poisson regression models estimated monthly prescribing rates during the year pre-diagnosis. Variation by COPD status (52 % pre-existing, 36 % COPD-free, 12 % new-onset) was examined. Inflection points were identified indicating when prescribing rates changed from the background rate. Results: 63 % of patients received 1 or more relevant prescriptions 1–12 months pre-diagnosis. Pre-existing COPD patients were most prescribed inhaled medications. COPD-free and new-onset COPD patients were most prescribed antibiotics. Most patients received 2 or more relevant prescriptions. Monthly prescribing rates of all medications increased towards time of diagnosis in all patient groups and were highest in pre-existing COPD patients. Increases in prescribing activity were observed earliest in pre-existing COPD patients 5 months pre-diagnosis for inhaled medications, antibiotics, and steroids, Conclusion: Results indicate that a diagnostic window of appreciable length exists for potential earlier LC diagnosis in some patients. Lung cancer diagnosis may be delayed if early symptoms are misattributed to COPD or other benign conditions
