Business of Medicine: Developing Leaders in Academic Medicine and Learning Health Systems.

Purpose: To develop healthcare professionals as clinical leaders in academic medicine and learning health system; and uncover organizational barriers, as well as pathways and practices to facilitate career growth and professional fulfillment.

Methods: The Department of Medicine strategic plan efforts prompted the development of a business of medicine program informed by a needs assessment and realignment between academic departments and the healthcare system. The business of medicine leadership program launched in 2017.

Real-Time mmWave Channel Sounding Through Switched Beamforming With 3-D Dual-Polarized Phased-Array Antennas.

We propose a 28.5-GHz channel sounder that switches through all antennas of multiple dual-polarized 8 × 8 phased arrays at the transmitter and receiver and performs beamforming in postprocessing through digital weights to synthesize a sweepable beam. To our knowledge, we are the first to implement-what we refer to as- with phased arrays for millimeter-wave channel sounding, realized through highly stable Rubidium clocks and local oscillators coupled with precision over-the-air calibration techniques developed in house.

Measuring the Impact of Beamwidth on the Correlation Distance of 60 GHz Indoor and Outdoor Channels.

Due to narrow beamwidth and channel sparseness, millimeter-wave receivers will detect much less multipath than their microwave counterparts, fundamentally changing the small-scale fading properties. By corollary, the de facto Rayleigh-Rice model, which assumes a rich multipath environment interpreted by the Clarke-Jakes omnidirectional ring of scatterers, does not provide an accurate description of this fading nor of the correlation distance that it predicts. Rather, a model interpreted by a directional ring of scatterers, recently proposed in seminal work by Va et al.

Geographic patterns in morphometric and genetic variation for coyote populations with emphasis on southeastern coyotes.

Prior to 1900, coyotes () were restricted to the western and central regions of North America, but by the early 2000s, coyotes became ubiquitous throughout the eastern United States. Information regarding morphological and genetic structure of coyote populations in the southeastern United States is limited, and where data exist, they are rarely compared to those from other regions of North America. We assessed geographic patterns in morphology and genetics of coyotes with special consideration of coyotes in the southeastern United States.

Demographic history influences spatial patterns of genetic diversityin recently expanded coyote (Canis latrans) populations.

Human-mediated range expansions have increased in recent decades and represent unique opportunities to evaluate genetic outcomes of establishing peripheral populations across broad expansion fronts. Over the past century, coyotes (Canis latrans) have undergone a pervasive range expansion and now inhabit every state in the continental United States. Coyote expansion into eastern North America was facilitated by anthropogenic landscape changes and followed two broad expansion fronts.
