High-frequency data reveal differential dissolved and suspended solids behavior from a mixed restored prairie and agricultural catchment.

Quantifying temporal variability and fluxes within hydrologic catchments is critical to understanding the underlying chemical and physical processes leading to material transport. Measuring variability and fluxes requires sampling at time scales similar to the time scale of process occurrence. This demand has led to the development of automated sampling systems designed to sample at high frequencies, on the order of minutes.

Reducing Blood Culture Contaminations in the Emergency Department: It Takes a Team.

Unlabelled: Healthcare providers rely heavily on blood culture results for developing the patient's plan of care. Contaminated blood cultures can lead to unnecessary treatment, unnecessary hospitalization, and an increase in the patient's length of stay. There was a significant increase in our monthly blood culture contamination rates, over a 3 month period of time, which exceeded a recommended standard of <3%, as high as 4.
