The Silence Is Deafening: Are Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists Quiet Quitting?

Quiet quitting is a term used to describe the idea of doing the minimum that is required to do your job but not outright quitting. With the extended fatigue from the COVID-19 pandemic and escalating workforce staffing shortages, quiet quitting could be a phenomenon occurring with certified registered nurse anesthetists. Wellness strategies to mitigate quiet quitting are discussed.

Preclinical validation of an O-antigen glycoconjugate for the prevention of serotype O1 invasive disease.

Unlabelled: A US collection of invasive serotype O1 bloodstream infection (BSI) isolates were assessed for genotypic and phenotypic diversity as the basis for designing a broadly protective O-antigen vaccine. Eighty percent of the BSI isolate serotype O1 strains were genotypically ST95 O1:K1:H7. The carbohydrate repeat unit structure of the O1a subtype was conserved in the three strains tested representing core genome multi-locus sequence types (MLST) sequence types ST95, ST38, and ST59.

Vibrational properties of disordered stealthy hyperuniform 1D atomic chains.

Disorder hyperuniformity is a recently discovered exotic state of many-body systems that possess a hidden order in between that of a perfect crystal and a completely disordered system. Recently, this novel disordered state has been observed in a number of quantum materials including amorphous 2D graphene and silica, which are endowed with unexpected electronic transport properties. Here, we numerically investigate 1D atomic chain models, including perfect crystalline, disordered stealthy hyperuniform (SHU) as well as randomly perturbed atom packing configurations to obtain a quantitative understanding of how the unique SHU disorder affects the vibrational properties of these low-dimensional materials.

Computational design of anisotropic stealthy hyperuniform composites with engineered directional scattering properties.

Disordered hyperuniform materials are an emerging class of exotic amorphous states of matter that endow them with singular physical properties, including large isotropic photonic band gaps, superior resistance to fracture, and nearly optimal electrical and thermal transport properties, to name but a few. Here we generalize the Fourier-space-based numerical construction procedure for designing and generating digital realizations of isotropic disordered hyperuniform two-phase heterogeneous materials (i.e.
