What To Expect: Patient Education to Improve Follow-up for Well Child Visits in Rutland, VT
Well-child visits (WCVs) are the cornerstone of pediatric preventative care. Attendance at these visits may prevent illness, reduce adverse side-effects associated with some conditions, and improve health behaviors. Despite this fact, many patients are still missing routine visits, particularly in lower income communities across the United States, like Rutland, VT. The goal of this project is to implement the creation of parent educational handouts distributed at routine visits at CHCRR Family Practice in Rutland, VT, to provide anticipatory guidance and improve attendance of pediatric well visits from birth to 5 years old.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1555/thumbnail.jp

A modular methodology for converting large, complex books into usable, accessible and standards-compliant ebooks
This report describes the methodology used for ebook creation for the Glasgow Digital Library (GDL), and provides detailed instructions on how the same methodology could be used elsewhere. The document includes a description and explanation of the processes for ebook creation followed by a tutorial
Random copolymer: Gaussian variational approach
We study the phase transitions of a random copolymer chain with quenched
disorder. We apply a replica variational approach based on a Gaussian trial
Hamiltonian in terms of the correlation functions of monomer Fourier
coordinates. This allows us to study collapse, phase separation and freezing
transitions within the same mean field theory. The effective free energy of the
system is derived analytically and analysed numerically. Such quantities as the
radius of gyration or the average value of the overlap between different
replicas are treated as observables and evaluated by introducing appropriate
external fields to the Hamiltonian. We obtain the phase diagram and show that
this system exhibits a scale dependent freezing transition. The correlations
between replicas appear at different length scales as the temperature
decreases. This indicates the existence of the topological frustration.Comment: 15 pages, 4 Postscript figure
