And With The Sound The Carols Drowned: Captives In Bleak December, John M. Rudy

Interpreting the Civil War: Connecting the Civil War to the American Public

Christmas was coming, and a knot of officers of the 87th Pennsylvania suddenly found their December a bit brighter. Nine boxes had been sent along to the officers, packed to the brim with, "all kinds of necessaries and delicacies, such as will be conducive to our comfort and health while in our present condition." And the soldiers were pleased.

Any soldier would be pleased to have a pair of warm socks, a stack of stationary or a can of preserved vegetables from home. But these men were doubly pleased.

The letter of gratitude they wrote to the Gettysburg Compiler was …

Temperature-Dependent Dielectric And Thermal Properties Of Whey Protein Gel And Mashed Potato, Jiajia Chen, Krishnamoorthy Pitchai, Sohan Birla, Ricardo Gonzalez, David Jones, Jeyamkondan Subbiah

Department of Agricultural and Biological Systems Engineering: Faculty Publications

Temperature-dependent dielectric properties (dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor) and thermal properties (thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity) of whey protein gel and mashed potato were measured from -20°C to 100°C. A dielectric properties measurement system and a multipoint temperature calibration protocol were developed. The system consists of an impedance analyzer, a high-temperature coaxial cable, a high-temperature coaxial probe, a micro-climatic chamber and a metal sample holder. Calibrations at two temperatures (25°C and 85°C) were sufficient to accurately measure the dielectric properties of foods from frozen to hot temperatures. Both dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor rapidly increased from -20°C …

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Session presented on: Monday, November 18, 2013:

The challenges and opportunities in developing nurses for practice have never been greater. New quality and safety science, advances in knowledge and technology, increased patient involvement, market driven health care, and altered care settings where nurses practice mandate transformation in how we educate and prepare students for practice. A new vision for transforming education that prepares nurses with advanced knowledge, judgment, skills and ethical standards calls for teaching approaches that are strong in situated and experiential learning ( Benner et al, 2010). Educational strategies that engage students in deeper understanding of classroom material …

Clear, critical thinking and communication are imperatives in providing quality nursing care. We are challenged more than ever before with the effect of fatigue on outcomes. What is fatigue? It is a factor that has been linked to stress, safety, and performance decrements in numerous work environments. Fatigue is a reality in nursing. Every day, during every shift, nurses experience fatigue of mind, body and spirit. Workload, work hours, work structures and other factors can indirectly or directly cause fatigue within the profession.

Neonatal Epinephrine: Reducing Calculation Errors, Gaye Rotramel

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Session presented on: Tuesday, November 19, 2013:

Background: Epinephrine calculation errors during neonatal resuscitation of low birth weight and very low birth weight babies can significantly affect outcomes in terms of mortality and morbidity. An extensive review of literature concluded that medication errors in the calculation of Epinephrine during resuscitation can occur when providers rely on memory, lack access to needed information, safety techniques or standardized procedures (Benner, Sheets, Uris, Malloch, Schwed, & Jamison, 2002; Karlsen, 2006).

Methodology: A quantitative quasi-experimental pilot research study measured the effectiveness of a researcher-designed Epi Chart, a pre-calculated intravenous and endotracheal Epinephrine dosage chart, …

Addressing National Research Priorities In Improvement Science, Kathleen R. Stevens

Biennial Convention (CONV)

Session presented on: Tuesday, November 19, 2013:

Healthcare experts, administrators, researchers, and clinicians across multiple disciplines are developing and testing new strategies to improve the safety and quality of patient care; however, national capacity to study improvement falls well behind the need to discover 'what works'. The study of complex healthcare service delivery and microsystems requires new skills in research methods, new partnerships across academic and clinical traditions, and multi-site research approaches to account for scale-up and spread of tested strategies. This symposium explores nurse-led nationally-funded achievements toward national advancing improvement science. The underlying foundations of the design of the …
