Quantum Thermodynamics of Nonequilibrium Processes in Lattice Gauge Theories.

A key objective in nuclear and high-energy physics is to describe nonequilibrium dynamics of matter, e.g., in the early Universe and in particle colliders, starting from the standard model of particle physics.

Impact of prenatal exposure to delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol on birth size and postnatal growth trajectories.

Background: Prenatal exposure to cannabis (or more specifically, delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol [Δ9-THC]) has been consistently linked to low birthweight. Animal models further show that Δ9-THC is associated with rapid postnatal growth. Whether this association is modified by breastfeeding is unknown.

A Serological Assay for the Detection of Antibodies Generated Against California Serogroup Virus Infection.

The California serogroup (CSG) viruses are orthobunyaviruses endemic in North America and responsible for the second most common cause of mosquito-borne viral encephalitis in the United States. As the CSG viruses have been neglected and are poorly studied, there are no commercial diagnostic serological assays or reagents available for detection. Therefore, diagnostic laboratories have had to rely on the development of their own in-house serological assays.

Infection prevention and control recommendations for emergent congregate settings: A case of refugee settlement to "safe haven".

In the fall of 2021, 12,900 refugee guests were welcomed to a US Army Total Force Training Center in the rural Midwest. Numerous challenges were experienced on base, including several communicable disease outbreaks. Infection prevention and control experts from the state health department were invited on base to observe and provide infection prevention and control consultation.
