Abstract:
Background: The Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) aging population is rapidly growing and the burden of Alzheimer’s disease and its related dementias (ADRD) will likely mirror this demographic growth. AANHPIs face significant barriers in obtaining timely ADRD diagnosis and services; yet little is known about ADRD in this population. Objective: The study objective is to conduct a systematic review on the published literature on ADRD among AANHPIs to identify gaps and priorities to inform future research and action plans. Methods: The systematic review was conducted following the PRISMA Protocol for Systematic Reviews. Co-author (TR), an experienced Medical Librarian, searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Central of Clinical Trials, Ageline, and Web of Science for peer-reviewed articles describing ADRD among AANHPIs. The search was not limited by language or publication date. Each citation was reviewed by two trained independent reviewers. Conflicts were resolved through consensus. Results: The title/abstract and full texts of 1,447 unique articles were screened for inclusion, yielding 168 articles for analysis. Major research topics included prevalence, risk factors, comorbidities, interventions and outreach, knowledge and attitudes, caregiving, and detection tools. A limited number of studies reported on national data, on NHPI communities generally, and on efficacy of interventions targeting AANHPI communities. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review on ADRD among AANHPI populations. Our review provides a first step in mapping the extant literature on ADRD among this underserved and under-researched population and will serve as a guide for future research, policy, and intervention.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the history of Maōri novels written primarily in English and for adult readers, taking as its definitional starting point the self-identification of the author as Maōri. Critics have variously situated Maōri fiction in terms of international literary trends or regionally, as part of Pacific literature. The question that arises is whether it is most productive to read the Maōri novel in a comparative framework with other Indigenous literatures. The chapter considers English-language novels published in four different periods: the 1970s, the 1980s, the 1990s, and the 2000s; the last period has seen the glocalization of the Maōri novel as writers have ventured into fantasy, magic realism, and Maōri sci-fi. Major Maōri novelists include Keri Hulme, Patricia Grace, Alan Duff, Witi Ihimaera, and Paula Morris.

Abstract:
Liver fluke disease, or fasciolosis, of livestock and humans is caused by endoparasitic trematodes of the genus Fasciola. Fasciola hepatica is responsible for the disease in temperate climates whereas F. gigantica is found in tropical zones. Recently, hybrids between F. hepatica and F. gigantica have been described (Le et al. 2008, Periago et al. 2008). Fasciolosis is a true zoonoses as it is predominantly a disease of animals that can be transmitted to humans at a specific stage of the parasite’s complex life cycle. There are a number of definitive hosts which includes sheep, cattle, and humans but this parasite has evolved to infect many other mammalian hosts including pigs, dogs, alpacas, llamas, rats, and goats (Apt et al. 1993; Chen and Mott 1990; Esteban et al. 1998). While prevalence of infection in humans may be relatively low in relation to animals, in specific geographic locations, for example in Bolivia, the prevalence of fasciolosis is so high in the human populations (hyperendemic) that it contributes to the spread of disease in animals (Esteban et al. 1999; Mas-Coma et al. 1999).Archeological studies showing Fasciola eggs in ancient mummies in Egypt demonstrate that fasciolosis is an ancient human disease (David 1997). Sporadic cases of fasciolosis were reported in Egypt in 1958 (Kuntz et al. 1958). The first to carry out an extensive review on human fasciolosis were Chen and Mott (1990). They reported 2,595 cases in over 40 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia, Africa and the western Pacifi c from 1970 – 1990. This review raised awareness of fasciolosis in humans and triggered a growth in epidemiological studies and a consequential dramatic increase in reporting of cases in the literature. Now human fasciolosis is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an important disease in humans with an estimated 2.4 million people infected annually and 180 million at risk to infection in over 61 countries (Haseeb et al. 2002). There have been several cases of large scale epidemics in France (Dauchy et al. 2007), Egypt (Curtale et al. 2007) and Iran (Rokni et al. 2002).However, the only extensive epidemiological studies to determine the rate of infection have been carried out in Egypt and Bolivia (Curtale et al. 2003, 2007; Esteban et al. 2002; Parkinson et al. 2007). These studies have shown that co-infection with other diseases is a common occurrence and this may lead to under-reporting of the incidence of fasciolosis (Esteban et al. 2003; Maiga et al. 1991). In many countries, the overall rates of infection are extrapolated from sporadic reports of the disease and, consequently, worldwide disease prevalence is uncertain. In this chapter we will review the cause and effect of human fasciolosis, and particularly highlight important considerations in designing control strategies to reduce infection in at-risk communities.

Abstract:
<em>Abstract.</em>—Data were collected in Norton Sound from 2002 through 2006 to support the development of habitat-based models of coho salmon smolt production and adult escapements. Length of stream rearing habitat available to juvenile coho salmon in the summer was estimated at 83 km on the Nome River and 277 km on the North River, using a combination of <em>a priori </em>predictions of fish distribution and subsequent field sampling. The likely range of smolts produced by this habitat was modeled using three different relationships of habitat quantity and smolt production developed elsewhere. The estimated escapement of adult salmon needed to produce this range of smolts resulted in counts from 2,632 to 3,649 fish in the Nome River and from 8,766 to 10,481 fish in the North River, using various literature values of production, survival, and fecundity. A field study conducted in the next two years to estimate actual smolt abundance in the Nome River yielded estimates of 92,820 (95% CI = 84,615 – 101,026) in 2005 and 122,079 (95% CI = 112,612 – 131,546) coho salmon in 2006; these smolt abundances were within the range estimated by the <em>a priori </em>models. Through 2007, average adult coho salmon escapement to both rivers had also been within the 95% confidence interval predicted from two of the three smolt models, within 2% and 18% of the point estimate of one model, and within 27% and 32% of the second. Overall, models based on production estimates and life history variables developed outside of the region were relatively accurate for predicting coho salmon rearing distributions, smolt production per km of total rearing habitat, and adult spawner abundance. Based on this, habitat-based models used to help develop escapement goals in other regions may be similarly useful in the Norton Sound region.

Abstract:
The Idaho National Laboratory investigated long-term concrete performance for nuclear applications. Scientists searched the open literature for information on the effects of heat and radiation. They also examined the concrete shield of the Pacific Sierra Nuclear Ventilated Storage Cask (VSC-17) for concrete deterioration and loss of shielding. The literature search revealed that low doses, &lt;109 n/cm2 or &lt;1011 Rad gamma, of radiation over periods less than 50 years do not appear to significantly affect concrete. Exposure over 100 years was not studied. The effects of higher doses of radiation are not as clear. Generally, the threshold of degradation is 95°C, and degradation increases with increasing temperature and time. In 15 years of VSC-17 use, there is no apparent effect from environment, radiation, or temperature that has adversely affected the shielding or structural functions, although there has been some minor cracking of the concrete.

Abstract:
Extreme miniaturization in the microelectronics component market along with the emergence of system-on-chip applications has driven interest in correspondingly small-scale thermal management designs requiring novel material systems. This paper concentrates on aerogel, which is an amorphous, nanoporous dielectric oxide fabricated through a sol-gel process. Its extremely high porosity leads to very low thermal conductivity and dielectric constants. Significant research has been devoted to its electrical properties; however, there are several emerging applications that can leverage the thermal characteristics as well. Two promising applications are investigated in this paper: a monolithically integrated infrared sensor that requires thermal isolation between sensor and silicon substrate, and an ultra-miniature crystal oscillator device which demands thermal insulation of the crystal for low-power operation. This paper identifies the potential benefits of aerogel in these applications through system modeling, demonstrates aerogel’s compatibility with standard low-cost microfabrication techniques, and presents results of thermal testing of aerogel films compared with other microelectronics insulators and available data in the literature. The goal is to explore system thermal design using aerogel while demonstrating its feasibility through experimentation. The combination of numerical simulations, Bayesian surrogate modeling, and process development helps to refine candidate aerogel applications and allow the designer to explore thermal designs which have not previously been possible in large-scale microelectronics system production.

Abstract:
A method to determine the temperature of an operating laser diode is to measure the wavelength emitted by the array and use the linear relationship between wavelength and temperature to infer the temperature of the laser diode bar. A unique experimental method to measure spatially and temporally resolved wavelength emitted from a laser diode array has been developed and is used to determine local temperature transients. This approach involves the non-contact rastering of a 100μm aperture over the emitting surface of the array, passing the energy from a single emitter into a spectrograph. This paper describes the design and development of the spatially and temporally resolved wavelength measurement system that is unique to any system presented in the literature. Results from a validation study of this methodology based on a comparison of wavelength and intensity maps to well-established and calibrated time and spatially averaged LDA measurement techniques and IR images are presented. In turn, preliminary results from this system show that transient laser diode emitter behavior falls into a number of distinct categories. A system that can resolve localized heating of a laser diode array both spatially and temporally can provide a wealth of information about the thermal performance of these arrays: 1) precise mapping of array temperature and relative output power, 2) precise location of hot spots and accurate measurement of the magnitude of those hot spots, and 3) variations in thermal time constants that may predict the location of packaging defects along the heat flow path from the diode bar itself to the LDA heat sink.

Abstract:
Carefully quantified effective thermal conductivity measurements of saturated porous systems are reported. Solid-fluid systems considered include glass-water, glass-air, steel-water, and steel-air. These systems yield solid-fluid conductivity ratios of 1.08, 25.7, 102, and 2400, respectively. The solid phases consist of 3.96 mm glass spheres and 14 mm steel ball bearings, which give mean porosities of 0.365 and 0.403. The experimental method is based on the transient heating of a semi-infinite cylinder by a constant heat flux at the boundary. The data reduction technique is unique because it avoids determining the effective thermal diffusivity and quantifying the boundary heat flux. In addition, particular attention is paid to assessing experimental uncertainty. Consequently, this study provides data with a degree of precision not typically found the literature. A complete accounting of energy storage and transport in the transient system is conducted to complement the uncertainty analysis. A thorough literature review is also presented to facilitate a critique of the experimental results.

Abstract:
Evidence of confinement-driven boiling heat transfer enhancement in vertical channels is very well documented in the literature and much has been observed about its nature and behavior. However, the majority of the available correlations is empirically-based and they tend to be very restricted in their range of applicability and portability. In order to further elucidate the effect of this type of geometrical confinement on boiling heat transfer, an experimental study has been performed on vertical, rectangular parallel-plate channels immersed in the dielectric liquid FC-72. The enhancement of nucleate boiling performance with decreased channel spacing was found to depend on the type of heater employed but could not be explained by the surface roughness. On the other hand, degradation of the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) limit with decreasing channel spacing was found to be independent of the surface and to be well predicted by a correlation available in the literature.

Abstract:
An alternative discretization and solution procedure is developed for implicitly solving a microscale heat transport equation during femtosecond laser heating of nanoscale metal films. The proposed numerical technique directly solves a single partial differential equation, unlike other techniques available in the literature which split the equation into a system of two equations and then apply discretization. It is shown by von Neumann stability analysis that the proposed numerical method is unconditionally stable. The numerical technique is then extended to three space dimensions, and an overall procedure for computing the transient temperature distribution during short-pulse laser heating of thin metal films is presented. Douglas-Gunn time-splitting and delta-form Douglas-Gunn time-splitting methods are employed to solve the discretized 3-D equations; a simple argument for stability is given for the split equation. The performance of the proposed numerical scheme will be compared with the numerical techniques available in the literature and it is shown that the new formulation is comparably accurate and significantly more efficient. Finally, it is shown that numerical predictions agree with available experimental data during sub-picosecond laser heating.

Abstract:
Microchannel heat exchangers using two-phase convective boiling is one of the most promising future technologies for the cooling of microprocessors. Heat generation on microprocessors is highly non-uniform due to the presence of multiple time-varying localized hotspots. Previous literature has primarily been focused on the performance of microchannels under uniform heating conditions. In this paper we report the performance of microchannel heat exchanger under both uniform and hotspot (non-uniform) heating conditions. We performed these experiments using a novel test setup where the test chip has multiple temperature sensors, one heater to provide uniform heating and a hotspot heater of size 400 μm × 400 μm. We report some of the preliminary results on the thermal performance of the heat exchanger. Results show that fluctuation in the wall temperature is different under hotspot heating conditions as compared to the uniform heating conditions.

Abstract:
Jet impingement has been an attractive cooling option in a number of industries over the past few decades. Over the past fifteen years, jet impingement has been explored as a cooling option in microelectronics. Recently, interest has also been expressed by the automotive industry in exploring jet impingement as an option for cooling power electronics components. The main purpose of this paper is to compare the different single-phase jet impingement configurations, which have been reported in the literature, primarily from a heat transfer viewpoint. The discussion is also from the viewpoint of the cooling of IGBTs (insulated-gate bipolar transistors), which are found in inverters in hybrid automobiles. In the literature, single and multiple submerged as well as free-surface jets have been investigated. A number of correlations for heat transfer from the simulated chip surface have been presented. These correlations, as well as the results from them will be discussed in detail. We will also present results for the average heat transfer coefficient on the chip surface as a function of both coolant mass flow rate as well as velocity. All the results presented are for water jets. A numerical study of some of the single-jet cooling configurations (free-surface as well as submerged) is also performed and the CFD results are compared to the results obtained from the empirical correlations. The pressure drop associated with these jet impingement systems is also examined briefly. From the standpoint of practical implementation, high velocity jets have the potential to erode the material on which they impinge. This paper will briefly discuss erosion rates associated with jets impinging on aluminum and copper.

In this paper, a discontinuous finite element solution to the phase-field equations for the microstructure evolution of polycrystalline material is presented. The mathematical formulation and numerical implementation are discussed. Numerical studies are conducted on the interactions between multiple grain seeds with different orientations during solidification. The discontinuous numerical scheme is validated by the results reported in literature. The effects the pulling rate, the size and orientation of the grain seeds on the microstructure formation of interface are investigated using the presented model. Results show that the initial orientation of the grain seed plays a dominant role in the final crystallography of the crystals.
