The Southern Nevada Health District identified a cluster of Hepatitis C cases linked to procedures at an endoscopy center in January 2008. This led to the largest disease notification operation in U.S. history as over 50,000 patients of the clinic were notified of their potential exposure. The health district conducted an investigation that included collecting questionnaires from exposed patients about their medical history and testing results. Over 7,000 questionnaires were processed and organized. The investigation identified two source cases of Hepatitis C transmission related to procedures at the clinics in July and September 2007. In total, 101 cases of Hepatitis C were classified as possibly associated with one of the clinics.

Key relationships are described such as the replacement of linear terms like position, velocity, and acceleration with their angular counterparts in equations for constant angular acceleration. Safety warnings are also provided about playing on a centrifuge.
Water Wizz is a waterpark on Cape Cod that promotes itself as the coolest destination for dads. It features various water rides and attractions, including something called the Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour.
This document provides a mythological analysis of the short story "Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. It analyzes the characters and plot through the lens of the hero's journey. Louise is seen as the transcendent hero who undergoes a transformation when she believes her husband has died, realizing she will now be free from his controlling nature. Her initial shock and grief represent the fall and rebirth stages as she begins to see new possibilities. The analysis also characterizes Mr. Mallard as the evil force who imposed his will on Louise and made her feel controlled.
This document summarizes key concepts in psychology including Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages of grief, Jean Piaget's stages of cognitive development, parenting styles, stages of child development explored by researchers like Eleanor Gibson and Harry Harlow, and Lawrence Kohlberg's stages of moral development. It also briefly mentions theorists like Lev Vygotsky, Jean Piaget, and Carol Gilligan and her research on gender differences in moral reasoning.
Johnson Controls and Tyco merged vertically, combining parts that make up cars. General Electric is a conglomerate with many subsidiary companies including Bently Nevada which produces products available in the greater New Braunfels area.

This document discusses key aspects of abnormal psychology including definitions of distress, deviance, and dysfunctionality as well as issues with diagnosing mental illness. It notes the five axes used in diagnosis and problems with overdiagnosis and misdiagnosis. Specifically, it mentions concerns that diagnostic labels can repress those who are different and impact people in a way that confuses normal problems with serious issues.
The document outlines the stages of psychosexual development according to Freudian theory, including the oral stage from birth to 18 months, the anal stage from 18 months to 3 years, the phallic stage from 3 to 6 years, and the latency stage from 7 to 11 years, culminating in the genital stage. It notes that oral fixation can result from too much or too little satisfaction at the oral stage and discusses toilet training in relation to the anal stage.
Motivation theories include: intrinsic motivation to master skills; instinct theory of inborn behaviors; drive reduction theory that biological needs motivate us to restore homeostasis; arousal theory that people seek an optimal arousal level; Levin's four types of goal conflicts; and Maslow's hierarchy of needs where self-actualization needs are above deficiency needs. David McLelland studied the need for achievement.
This document discusses cognitive concepts including prototypes, which are the best examples of a concept, and heuristics, which are mental shortcuts used to solve problems. It provides examples of two heuristics: representative heuristics where judgments are made based on similarity to preexisting concepts, and availability heuristics where judgments are based on how easily information comes to mind.
Sleep is important for health and well-being. Different sleep phenomena include brief visual experiences upon falling asleep, muscle contractions as one drifts off, bed-wetting issues, and sleep-walking while seemingly asleep.
Sensory receptors have absolute thresholds for detecting stimuli, such as seeing a candle from 20 miles away with rods and cones in the eyes. Just noticeable differences refer to the smallest amount of change in a stimulus that can be detected, such as a 1/10 change in sound pressure. Perception is influenced by assumptions, experiences, and expectations that affect how the world is seen and motivations are framed. Perceptual processes include segregating figures from grounds, detecting camouflage, perceiving apparent motion from stroboscopic displays, and using monocular and binocular cues like perspective, size, and retinal disparity to perceive depth.
The document discusses several topics in developmental psychology including Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's five stages of grief, the age of viability for infants, the effects of teratogens like alcohol on prenatal development, Conrad Lorenz's research on imprinting, reactive attachment disorder, attachment theories of Mary Ainsworth and John Bowlby, the mere exposure effect, and Erik Erikson's eight stages of psychosocial development.
This document provides definitions and concepts related to circular and rotational motion in physics, including centripetal force, centripetal acceleration, angular displacement, angular velocity, angular acceleration, torque, rotational inertia, rotational kinetic energy, and angular momentum. Key terms defined are circular motion, revolutions of an object moving in a circle such as the Earth rotating around the sun, and centripetal force as the force needed to keep an object moving in a circle.
William James wrote one of the first books on psychology focusing on introspection. The behavior or mental processes he studied aided human survival. Freud later contributed to psychology through his work in psychoanalysis.
Psychology is defined as the scientific study of mental processes and behavior. In the past, phrenology, which studied bumps on the head, was used to understand behavior but was later disproven. John B. Watson is considered the father of American behaviorism for establishing psychology as a natural science.
This document discusses temperament and psychology concepts from two thinkers. Jerome Kagan's view is that a person's temperament can be pulled to the opposite pole by about half. Carl Jung's concept of archetypes is also briefly mentioned.

It also discusses the line of succession if the President is unable to serve and how Congress can override a Presidential veto.
The document is a worksheet about the executive branch with 20 multiple choice and short answer questions. It covers topics like the roles and qualifications of the President, powers of the executive branch, the cabinet and departments, presidential succession, and the roles of the Vice President. Some key points addressed are the eight roles of the President, why the President is Commander in Chief even without military experience, privileges like Air Force One, and the President's power to issue executive orders and pardons.
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
