Abstract:

The 2003 Iowa General Assembly asked the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) to conduct a study of Iowa public policy on coordination of public transit services and school transportation. The legislature's request, contained in the transportation appropriation bill, required “a report pertaining to the efficiencies that may be gained by the coordination of transit management and maintenance systems in the areas of school transportation, public transit, and other forms of public transportation.” Such efficiencies are described. As requested by the Iowa DOT, the Center for Transportation Research and Education at Iowa State University studied these issues and prepared a report for the Office of Public Transit. A summary of the coordination activities that are taking place in Iowa between the school districts and transit agencies is presented. Furthermore, the levels of coordination and what benefits are derived from coordinating services are discussed. The objectives of the study include the following: to examine the legal basis for such coordination in Iowa; to inventory the types of coordination taking place around the state; and to highlight some of the coordination models, with a discussion of what each party believes are the benefits of the coordination as well as obstacles that have been encountered.

Abstract:

In 1975, Fairfield, Iowa became the de facto center of the Transcendental Meditation Movement in the U.S., to the dismay of many long-term residents of the town. In the following thirty-four years that the town and TM communities have coexisted, both have evolved and changed in ways that few could have anticipated. Fairfield is now a much more colorful, interesting, and prosperous community than its comparably sized neighbors. This photo essay provides an introductory overview of the as-yet-unwritten history of the Transcendental Meditation Movement in Iowa.

Abstract:

Iona was a major European intellectual and artistic centre during the seventh to ninth centuries, with outstanding illustrated manuscripts, sculpture and religious writings produced there, despite its apparently peripheral location ‘at the ends of the earth’. Recent theological discourse has emphasised the leading role of Iona, and particularly its ninth abbot, Adomnán, in developing the metaphor of the earthly monastery as a mirror of heavenly Jerusalem, allowing us to suggest a new appreciation of the innovative monastic layout at Iona and its influence on other monasteries in northern Britain. The authors contend that the unique paved roadway and the schematic layout of the early church, shrine chapel and free-standing crosses were intended to evoke Jerusalem, and that the journey to the sacred heart of the site mirrored a pilgrim’s journey to the tomb of Christ. The key to this transformative understanding is Charles Thomas’s 1956–63 campaign of excavations on Iona, which this article is publishing for the first time. These excavations were influential in the history of early Christian archaeology in Britain as they helped to form many of Thomas’s ideas, later expressed in a series of influential books. They also revealed important new information on the layout and function of the monastic complex, and produced some unique metalwork and glass artefacts that considerably expand our knowledge of activities on the site. This article collates this new information with a re-assessment of the evidence from a large series of other excavations on Iona, and relates the results to recent explorations at other Insular monastic sites.

Abstract:

Following the changes of governments in South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia a decade ago, the state of Iowa, like much of the rest of the United States, became home to a number of Asian refugees. In September, 1975, the Governor's task force for Indochinese resettlement was created; over the next couple of years, thousands of displaced citizens from Southeast Asia settled in this midwestern state. Unlike the west coast of the United States, Iowa has never had a very large Asian population. As anthropologists, we were interested in studying the process of culture change and adjustment facing these new residents. During the summer of 1982, we visited the Iowa Refugee Service Center to explain who we were and what we were interested in doing.

Abstract:

Recent studies find that candidate endorsements by party elites play significant role in presidential nomination campaigns. This study analyzes patterns of endorsements by elite office holders to address questions of when and why elites converge on a preferred candidate. The interaction of candidate-, campaign-, and party-centric factors affect the extent to which party elites coalesce around a single front-runner prior to the Iowa caucus. Elite officeholders tend to refrain from pre-Iowa endorsements when there is uncertainty about which candidate will emerge as the front-runner. Elite officeholders are more likely to endorse candidates located near the ideological center of their political party. Elite Republican officeholders appear to have refrained from making an early endorsement in 2007 compared to early nomination campaigns because the Republican nomination campaign has been highly competitive without a clear front runner and none of the candidates are near the ideological center of the party.

Abstract:

In 2015, the American Heart Association awarded 4-year funding for a Strategically Focused Research Network focused on hypertension composed of 4 Centers: Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, Medical College of Wisconsin, University of Alabama at Birmingham, and University of Iowa. Each center proposed 3 integrated (basic, clinical, and population science) projects around a single area of focus relevant to hypertension. Along with scientific progress, the American Heart Association put a significant emphasis on training of next-generation hypertension researchers by sponsoring 3 postdoctoral fellows per center over 4 years. With the center projects being spread across the continuum of basic, clinical, and population sciences, postdoctoral fellows were expected to garner experience in various types of research methodologies. The American Heart Association also provided a number of leadership development opportunities for fellows and investigators in these centers. In addition, collaboration was highly encouraged among the centers (both within and outside the network) with the American Heart Association providing multiple opportunities for meeting and expanding associations. The area of focus for the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Center was hypertension and target organ damage in children utilizing ambulatory blood pressure measurements. The Medical College of Wisconsin Center focused on epigenetic modifications and their role in pathogenesis of hypertension using human and animal studies. The University of Alabama at Birmingham Center’s areas of research were diurnal blood pressure patterns and clock genes. The University of Iowa Center evaluated copeptin as a possible early biomarker for preeclampsia and vascular endothelial function during pregnancy. In this review, challenges faced and successes achieved by the investigators of each of the centers are presented.

The text presents the digital activities of the New Bulgarian University (NBU) Center for the Book during the time of pandemic, declared state of emergency and the closure of the university. The publication covers the work of the Publishing House, the Library, the University Archives and the Readers’ Club. In the period of isolation, the NBU Publishing House published new books in various fields and presented them via Facebook due to the impossibility to hold live meetings in the bookstore of the Center. During this period, the NBU Library (which is a combination of traditional and electronic resources and services) supported online learning through remote services. The University Archive presented virtually the personal archives of Prof. Milcho Leviev and Prof. Miroslav Yanakiev. The NBU Readers’ Club maintained its interest in reading by publishing video reviews of books selected before the pandemic, as Arthur Haley’s Airport, Svetlana Aleksievich’s Chernobyl Prayer, and Olga Tokarchuk’s Flights.

Abstract:

The testing of the Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) was the focus of a 4-year study to evaluate the use of the outcomes and measurement scales developed by the Iowa Outcomes Project, a research team at the University of Iowa. Three units in a Midwest community hospital collected data as part of the larger (ten) clinical site study to test the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of the NOC. This article focuses on the results of sensitivity testing obtained in a birth center, behavioral health center, and an oncology unit in a midwestern community hospital. Methods used in this study focused on change scores from initial assessment to post-treatment status for the outcomes studied in each unit. Average baseline ratings, average follow-up ratings, average change scores, and range of change are reported. Thirty-five outcomes are reported for the behavioral health unit, 21 outcomes are reported for the Birth Center, and 8 outcomes for the Oncology Unit. The overall average baseline for the behavioral health unit was 1.89 with an average follow-up rating of 3.22. For the Birth Center, the average baseline rating was 3.23 with an average follow-up score of 3.88. For the Oncology Unit, the average baseline score was 3.01 with an average follow-up rating of 3.12. The results of this study suggest that the NOC outcomes are able to identify change in some outcome ratings through time and in a direction expected for the populations studied in these three specialty units.

Abstract:

Abstract The Iowa Flood Center (IFC), established following the 2008 record floods, has developed a real-time flood forecasting and information dissemination system for use by all Iowans. The system complements the operational forecasting issued by the National Weather Service, is based on sound scientific principles of flood genesis and spatial organization, and includes many technological advances. At its core is a continuous rainfall–runoff model based on landscape decomposition into hillslopes and channel links. Rainfall conversion to runoff is modeled through soil moisture accounting at hillslopes. Channel routing is based on a nonlinear representation of water velocity that considers the discharge amount as well as the upstream drainage area. Mathematically, the model represents a large system of ordinary differential equations organized to follow river network topology. The IFC also developed an efficient numerical solver suitable for high-performance computing architecture. The solver allows the IFC to update forecasts every 15 min for over 1,000 Iowa communities. The input to the system comes from a radar-rainfall algorithm, developed in-house, that maps rainfall every 5 min with high spatial resolution. The algorithm uses Level II radar reflectivity and other polarimetric data from the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Dual-Polarimetric (WSR-88DP) radar network. A large library of flood inundation maps and real-time river stage data from over 200 IFC “stream-stage sensors” complement the IFC information system. The system communicates all this information to the general public through a comprehensive browser-based and interactive platform. Streamflow forecasts and observations from Iowa can provide support for a similar system being developed at the National Water Center through model intercomparisons, diagnostic analyses, and product evaluations.

Abstract:

Abstract The authors examine the hydroclimatology, hydrometeorology, and hydrology of extreme floods through analyses that center on the June 2008 flooding in Iowa. The most striking feature of the June 2008 flooding was the flood peak of the Cedar River at Cedar Rapids (3964 m3 s−1), which was almost twice the previous maximum from a record of 110 years. The spatial extent of extreme flooding was exceptional, with more U.S. Geological Survey stream gauging stations reporting record flood peaks than in any other year. The 2008 flooding was produced by a sequence of organized thunderstorm systems over a period of two weeks. The authors examine clustering and seasonality of flooding in the Iowa study region and link these properties to features of the June 2008 flood event. They examine the environment of heavy rainfall in Iowa during June 2008 through analyses of composite rainfall fields (15-min time interval and 1-km spatial resolution) developed with the Hydro-NEXRAD system and simulations using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF). Water balance analyses of extreme flood response, based on rainfall and discharge observations from basins with extreme flooding, suggest that antecedent soil moisture plays a diminishing role in flood response as the return interval increases. Rainfall structure and evolution play a critical and poorly understood role in determining the scaling of flood response. As in other extreme flood studies, analyses of the Iowa flood data suggest that measurement errors can be significant for record discharge estimates.

Abstract:

Abstract Background In December 2016, bacterial contamination of an organ preservation solution (OPS) was reported by Transplant Center A in Iowa. Annually, &gt;20,000 abdominal organs are transplanted in the United States; OPS is used for organ storage. We investigated the scope of OPS contamination and its association with adverse events in patients. Methods We assessed infection control practices related to OPS at Transplant Centers A and B in Iowa and the local organ procurement organization (OPO). We issued national notifications about OPS contamination and requested transplant centers to report product-related concerns or potential patient harm. Among transplant recipients at Center A, we compared adverse events (fever, bacteremia, surgical site infection, peritonitis, or pyelonephritis within 14 days of transplantation) during October–December 2015 with October–December 2016, the presumed window of exposure to contaminated OPS. Isolates from OPS were characterized. Results No infection control deficiencies were identified at Transplant Centers A, B, or the OPO. In January 2017, contaminated OPS from the same manufacturer was reported by Transplant Center C in Texas. Nationally, there were no reports of patient harm definitively linked to OPS. Post-transplant adverse events at Center A did not increase between fourth quarter 2015 (5/12 [42%]) and 2016 (2/15 [13%]). Organisms recovered from OPS included Pantoea agglomerans and Enterococcus gallinarum (Center A) and Pseudomonas koreensis (Center C). Five Pantoea isolates from ≥3 opened OPS bags were indistinguishable by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis. The OPS distributor issued recalls and suspended production. The US Food and Drug Administration identified deficiencies in current good manufacturing practices at manufacturing and distribution facilities, including inadequate validation of OPS sterility. Conclusion Bacterial contamination of a nationally distributed product was identified by astute clinicians. The investigation found no illnesses were directly linked to the product. Prompt reporting of concerns about potentially contaminated healthcare products, which might put patients at risk, is critical for swift public health action.

Abstract:

Abstract In the spring of 2013, NASA conducted a field campaign known as Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) as part of the Ground Validation (GV) program for the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The purpose of IFloodS was to enhance the understanding of flood-related, space-based observations of precipitation processes in events that transpire worldwide. NASA used a number of scientific instruments such as ground-based weather radars, rain and soil moisture gauges, stream gauges, and disdrometers to monitor rainfall events in Iowa. This article presents the cyberinfrastructure tools and systems that supported the planning, reporting, and management of the field campaign and that allow these data and models to be accessed, evaluated, and shared for research. The authors describe the collaborative informatics tools, which are suitable for the network design, that were used to select the locations in which to place the instruments. How the authors used information technology tools for instrument monitoring, data acquisition, and visualizations after deploying the instruments and how they used a different set of tools to support data analysis and modeling after the campaign are also explained. All data collected during the campaign are available through the Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC), a NASA Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC).

Abstract:

Sales of organic products reached $8 billion in the U.S. in 2000, continuing the nearly decade-long trend of 20% annual growth. In Iowa alone, organic production for all crops was 5265 ha (13,000 acres) in 1995 but 60,750 ha (150,000 acres) in 1999. Despite the growth in organic agriculture, our knowledge of organic farming systems remains limited. We have adopted a systems theory approach in our current research program at Iowa State University (ISU) to help address this gap in understanding. Systems theory holds that biological systems, such as agroecosystems, consist of integrated units of people, plants, animals, soil, insects and microorganisms, and each subsystem provides feedback to the other. In order to obtain input on research questions and experimental design, the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture and ISU held six focus groups across Iowa in 1998 before long-term site establishment. Producers and agricultural professionals at the focus groups supported the need for long-term agroecological research (LTAR) sites in four distinct agroecological zones in Iowa. The goal of each LTAR is to examine the short- and long-term physical, biological, and socioeconomic effects of organic and conventional farming systems. By establishing long-term experiments, we are testing the hypothesis that longer crop rotations, typical of organic farms, provide yield stability, improve plant protection, and enhance soil health and economic benefits compared to conventional systems with shorter rotations and greater off-farm inputs. Examples of research results from two LTAR experiments in Iowa include similar pepper (Capsicum annuum) and soybean (Glycine max) yields in the conventional and organic systems. Organic systems used mechanical weed control and locally produced compost in place of synthetic fertilizers. Feedback from the local farm associations that are responsible for farm stewardship and farm finances is inherent in the LTAR process.

Abstract:

An outbreak of ergot, caused by Claviceps purpurea, occurred in barley (Hordeum vulgare) grown in northeastern Iowa and southwestern Wisconsin in 1996. In a nine-county area of intensive dairy production in Iowa, approximately 40% of the barley hectarage (approximately 1,200 ha) was affected by the disease. Several cultivars were affected, including Robust, Excel, and Chilton, and no differences in ergot contamination levels were observed among cultivars. Barley samples examined by the Iowa State University Seed Science Center averaged 0.2% ergot by weight, with a maximum of 0.53%. Prolonged cool, wet weather during heading and greater barley planting than usual contributed to the high incidence of infection, but other influential factors have not been identified. Symptoms were not noticed in barley in the field and much of the infested grain was fed to cattle (primarily dairy cows), resulting in a considerable incidence of ergotism. An estimated 1,000 animals displayed symptoms of ergotism, manifested as loss of milk production and hyperthermia. Approximately 10 to 15 animals died or were destroyed. Ergot also was prevalent in forage grasses, including brome (Bromus spp.), Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata), quackgrass (Agropyron repens), and timothy (Phleum pratense). Minor symptoms of ergotism were associated with consumption of infested hay and pasture grasses. Negligible incidences of ergot occur annually in small grains and forage grasses in Iowa; ergotism of this extent has not been observed for several decades. Crop rotation and early harvest of grass hay have been recommended for 1997 to prevent a recurrence of the disease.

Abstract:

187 Background: Contemporary health care is delivered in highly interdependent team-based environment. Transitions in surgeon complement may be associated with a disturbance of workflow, especially in smaller-sized community cancer centers. Herein we examined the impact of two surgical oncologists turnover in our cancer center. Methods: Survival outcomes of all cases of esophageal, gastric, rectal and pancreatic adenocarcinoma treated in the index cancer center (n = 1,445) were compared to then-contemporary standard derived from Iowa-SEER registry, 2001-2015 (n = 12,617). Period before and after changeover of surgeons was compared using descriptive statistics and regression model. Results: Substantial reduction of annually referred (101.8±9.2 versus 60.5±0.7 case per year, p = 0.026) and operative cases (37.0±4.5 versus 17.5±3.5 cases per year, p = 0.027) was seen during fully-staffed versus on-boarding periods at the index hospital. At the state level, there was no fluctuation of annually referred cases (898.0±19.8 versus 910.5±35.6 cases per year, p = 0.384) and minimal decrease in operated cases (366.2±18.0 versus 335.0±24.1 cases per year, p = 0.020) in early versus late period. New surgical team was able to improve upon survival of resectable esophageal cancer patients in the index hospital and maintain survival of other complex GI malignancies as compared to geographically relevant standard of Iowa-SEER registry. Survival regression model on all 5,795 non-metastatic cases with available data, adjusted for age, stage and primary disease site, demonstrated that being treated in the index hospital did not result is inferior survival comparing early and late period (HR = 1.060, p = 0.237). Conclusions: Loss of surgical cancer specialists was associated with profound & significant loss of referrals to the index cancer center, and likely outmigration of patients from the community seeking advanced care. Quick restoration of surgical services may reinstate overall efficacy of care for resectable cancer cases without negative survival effect.

Abstract:

AbstractThis study proposes a flood potential index suitable for use in streamflow forecasting at any location in a drainage network. We obtained the index by comparing the discharge magnitude derived from a hydrologic model and the expected mean annual peak flow at the spatial scale of the basin. We use the term “flood potential” to indicate that uncertainty is associated with this information. The index helps communicate flood potential alerts to communities near rivers where there are no quantitative records of historical floods to provide a reference. This method establishes a reference that we can compare to forecasted hydrographs and that facilitates communication of their relative importance. As a proof of concept, the authors present an assessment of the index as applied to the peak flows that caused severe floods in Iowa in June 2008. The Iowa Flood Center uses the proposed approach operationally as part of its real-time hydrologic forecasting system.
