The Host Galaxies Of Active Galactic Nuclei With Direct Black Hole Mass Measurements, Vardha N. Bennert, Nico Winkel, Tommaso Treu, Xuheng Ding, Vivian U, Raymond P. Remigio, Aaron J. Barth, Matthew A. Malkan, Lizvette Villafaña, Samantha Allen

Physics

Reverberation mapping (RM) determines the mass of black holes (BHs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) by resolving the BH gravitational sphere of influence in the time domain. Recent RM campaigns have yielded direct BH masses through dynamical modeling for a sample of 32 objects, spanning a wide range of AGN luminosities and BH masses. In addition, accurate BH masses have been determined by spatially resolving the broad-line region with GRAVITY for a handful of AGNs. Here, we present a detailed analysis of Hubble Space Telescope images using surface-brightness profile fitting with state-of-the-art programs. We derive AGN luminosity and host-galaxy properties, …

From Courtrooms To Classrooms: Experiments In Survival, Justin Surdyka

Journal of Prison Education Research

The transformative powers of college-in-prison programs are known, but students get the grave of continued incarceration—even if we are fully rehabilitated. For the college-in-prison student who spends years in classes, degrees and parole denials are synonymous, especially for those of us who have committed violent off enses. We are educated but not redeemed in the eyes of the system. My classmates and I are the degrees behind the denials, the students behind the degrees, the prisoners behind the students, the human beings behind the prisoners who are the reason higher education in prison is praised for being transformative. Yet we …

Comparison Of The Impact Of Probabilistic Versus Deterministic Ground Motions On Structural Responses Of A Steel Moment Building In Salt Lake City, Utah, O. Murphy, M. Zaker Esteghamati, B. R. Cox

Civil and Environmental Engineering Student Research

Earthquakes on the Wasatch Fault pose a significant hazard to Utah’s people and built environment. Code-based seismic design of civil infrastructure in Utah is governed by ground motions determined from regional probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). However, with a large earthquake overdue along several segments of the Wasatch Fault, there is growing concern among Utah engineers that PSHA-based ground motions are significantly lower than those from a deterministic scenario. This study compares the structural responses of a four-story steel moment frame in Salt Lake City, Utah, under two ground-motion sets derived from risk-targeted probabilistic and deterministic seismic-hazard analyses. The preliminary …

The Impact of Foot Care Education Within the Unhoused Female Population: A Community-based Nursing Intervention

The unhoused population is a vulnerable community that faces many obstacles in accessing healthcare (Benadda et al., 2025). Many of these individuals face stigmas related to their economic and housing conditions. It is important for nurses to be able to identify risk factors that may increase the prevalence of health-related problems, including using public health models to implement disease prevention. When discussing this population, one crucial preventative measure includes foot care, which aids in the deterrence of infections and promotes overall health (Coates et al., …

Trust Before Treatment: Educating Nurses On Trauma-Informed Care For Sex Trade Survivors, Matthew George Ditchik, Monserrat Castaneda, Daniela Tirado Osorio, Emily Haynes, Dani Salazar Tuparan, Joie Ikuzwe Mburu

Trust Before Treatment: Educating Nurses on Trauma-Informed Care for Sex Trade Survivors

Survivors of the sex trade often seek healthcare during some of the most vulnerable times in their lives, yet many report experiences of judgment, dismissal, or re-traumatization within clinical settings. Trauma-informed care is an approach that recognizes the lasting impact trauma can have on a person’s physical and emotional well-being and calls healthcare professionals to adjust their practices to promote safety, trust, autonomy, and empowerment. Research shows that implementing trauma-informed care improves patient well-being, enhances staff collaboration, and reduces the risk of further harm (Huo et al., 2023). …

An Individualized Approach To Medication Adherence And Safety For A Community Recovering From Addiction, Neena Marcus, Paige Kessler, Alexa Nehren, Anna Matushevskiy, Tianna Thompson, Veniamin Drozhzhyn

An Individualized Approach to Medication Adherence and Safety for a Community Recovering from Addiction

Adherence to prescribed medications is essential for the effective treatment and prevention of medical conditions. A study conducted in British Columbia, Canada, estimated that 50% of patients worldwide do not take their medications as prescribed (Zeitouny et al., 2023). Further, having substance use disorder can increase this risk (Mehdinia et al., 2020). Research with patients who are affected by polypharmacy found that pillboxes can support medication adherence (FarzanehRad et al., 2024). With these statistics in mind, our nursing student team developed a leadership project around pillbox …

Optimizing Healthcare Utilization: Distinguishing Between Emergency and Urgent Care

Over the past two months, our group of six nursing students worked with a local transitional housing program for families. Per the facility report, a large portion of the program’s current residents are immigrants and have had little to no exposure to the American healthcare system and their options for care. The issue we targeted for our project is the increased number of 911 calls and emergency room (ER) visits for non-emergent healthcare concerns by our target population. By creating education materials on self-triaging, ER vs. Urgent Care services, and how …

Leveraging Patient Data To Detect Systematic Shifts In Daptomycin Susceptibility Testing Associated With Reduced Prescribing, Mark A Zaydman, Laurel Glaser, Daniel S Herman, Mason Kressloff, Vahid Azimi, Christine R Lockowitz, Rebekah E Dumm

2020-Current year OA Pubs

UNLABELLED: Systemic shifts in antimicrobial resistance rates can be due to epidemiologic shifts in microbial susceptibility patterns or artifactual shifts introduced by technical biases in antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST)-both ultimately leading to changes in antimicrobial prescribing. To reduce technical variability, quality control (QC) criteria for AST are published by manufacturers and standards organizations. However, traditional QC metrics, in isolation, are fallible. In this study, we describe a systematic shift in daptomycin AST results between 2022 and 2025 in isolates tested in two independent health systems. Comprehensive analysis of clinical isolate AST results and retrospective mining of QC data from this …

Inverse Associations Of Serum Total Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids And Linoleic Acid With Biomarkers Of Inflammation: A Cross-Sectional Analysis, Kevin C Maki, Xiwei Chen, Meredith L Wilcox, Carol F Kirkpatrick, Liana L Guarneiri, Orsolya M Palacios, Erika T Beidelman, Anna Lm Macagno, David B Allison

Children’s Nutrition Research Center Staff Publications

Background: Observational evidence supports associations between higher consumption of omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with reduced risks for cardiometabolic diseases. However, some have hypothesized that higher n-6 PUFA intake may be proinflammatory.

Objectives: The purpose of this cross-sectional analysis using baseline data from the Aegis cohort was to examine associations of serum total n-6 PUFA and linoleic acid concentrations with biomarkers of inflammation.

Methods: Serum concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), glycoprotein acetyls, serum amyloid A (SAA), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1), and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were assessed as biomarkers of inflammation. Univariate Pearson correlation coefficients …

Efficient Energy-Stable Discontinuous Galerkin Schemefor The Non-Isothermal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokestwo-Phase Fluid Flow System, Guang-An Zou, Meiting Wang, Kejia Pan, Yin Yang, Xiaofeng Yang

Faculty Publications

In this article, we propose a novel numerical framework for the non-isothermal Cahn–Hilliard–Navier–Stokes two-phase flow system, which couples the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations, the Cahn–Hilliard phase-field equation, and the heat transport equation to capture temperature-dependent two-phase flow dynamics. The pro-posed scheme achieves three major advances: (i) unconditional energy stability through a combined scalar auxiliary variable (SAV) and zero-energy-contribution (ZEC) approach, (ii) linearity and full decoupling of all variables while using a second-order temporal discretization, and (iii) efficient implementation via discontinuous Galerkin (DG) spa-tial discretization together with a second-order projection method for the Navier–Stokes equations. We rigorously prove the unconditional energy stability …
