The state of Pennsylvania (PA) has one of the oldest, most well-established trauma systems in the country. The requirements for verification for Level I versus Level II trauma centers within PA differ minimally (only in the requirement for patient volume, residency, and research). We hypothesized that there would be no difference in outcome at Level I versus Level II trauma centers.

    Lutein and zeaxanthin are lipid-soluble antioxidants found within the macula region of the retina. Links have been suggested between increased levels of these carotenoids and reduced risk for age-related macular disease (ARMD). Therefore, the effect of lutein-based supplementation on...

    We present analysis of the dust in the disc of UGC 3995B based on archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 and PPAK IFU data from the CALIFA survey's first Data release. From the HST F606W image, we construct an extinction map by modeling the Isophotes of the background galaxy UGC 3995A and the resul...

    arXiv:1305.1079 [math.OC] 6 May 2013

    Negative imaginary (NI) systems play an important role in the robust control of highly resonant flexible structures. In this paper, a generalized NI system framework is presented. A new NI system definition is given, which allows for flexible structure systems with colocated force actuators and pos...
