The power of interdependence: Linking health systems, communities, and health professions educational programs to better meet the needs of patients and populations
Promoting optimal health outcomes for diverse patients and populations requires the acknowledgement and strengthening of interdependent relationships between health professions education programs, health systems, and the communities they serve. Educational programs must recognize their role as integral components of a larger system. Educators must strive to break down silos and synergize efforts to foster a health care workforce positioned for collaborative, equitable, community-oriented practice. Sharing interprofessional and interinstitutional strategies can foster wide propagation of educational innovation while accommodating local contexts. This paper outlines how member schools of the American Medical Association Accelerating Change in Medical Education Consortium leveraged interdependence to accomplish transformative innovations catalyzed by systems thinking and a community of innovation

Measurements of Secondary Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies with the South Pole Telescope
We report cosmic microwave background (CMB) power spectrum measurements from
the first 100 sq. deg. field observed by the South Pole Telescope (SPT) at 150
and 220 GHz. On angular scales where the primary CMB anisotropy is dominant,
ell ~< 3000, the SPT power spectrum is consistent with the standard LambdaCDM
cosmology. On smaller scales, we see strong evidence for a point source
contribution, consistent with a population of dusty, star-forming galaxies.
After we mask bright point sources, anisotropy power on angular scales of 3000
50 at both frequencies. We
combine the 150 and 220 GHz data to remove the majority of the point source
power, and use the point source subtracted spectrum to detect
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) power at 2.6 sigma. At ell=3000, the SZ power in the
subtracted bandpowers is 4.2 +/- 1.5 uK^2, which is significantly lower than
the power predicted by a fiducial model using WMAP5 cosmological parameters.
This discrepancy may suggest that contemporary galaxy cluster models
overestimate the thermal pressure of intracluster gas. Alternatively, this
result can be interpreted as evidence for lower values of sigma8. When combined
with an estimate of the kinetic SZ contribution, the measured SZ amplitude
shifts sigma8 from the primary CMB anisotropy derived constraint of 0.794 +/-
0.028 down to 0.773 +/- 0.025. The uncertainty in the constraint on sigma8 from
this analysis is dominated by uncertainties in the theoretical modeling
required to predict the amplitude of the SZ power spectrum for a given set of
cosmological parameters.Comment: 28 pages, 11 figures, submitted to Ap
Angular Power Spectra of the Millimeter Wavelength Background Light from Dusty Star-forming Galaxies with the South Pole Telescope
We use data from the first 100 square-degree field observed by the South Pole
Telescope (SPT) in 2008 to measure the angular power spectrum of temperature
anisotropies contributed by the background of dusty star-forming galaxies
(DSFGs) at millimeter wavelengths. From the auto and cross-correlation of 150
and 220 GHz SPT maps, we significantly detect both Poisson distributed and, for
the first time at millimeter wavelengths, clustered components of power from a
background of DSFGs. The spectral indices between 150 and 220 GHz of the
Poisson and clustered components are found to be 3.86 +- 0.23 and 3.8 +- 1.3
respectively, implying a steep scaling of the dust emissivity index beta ~ 2.
The Poisson and clustered power detected in SPT, BLAST (at 600, 860, and 1200
GHz), and Spitzer (1900 GHz) data can be understood in the context of a simple
model in which all galaxies have the same graybody spectrum with dust
emissivity index of beta = 2 and dust temperature T_d = 34 K. In this model,
half of the 150 GHz background light comes from redshifts greater than 3.2. We
also use the SPT data to place an upper limit on the amplitude of the kinetic
Sunyaev-Zel'dovich power spectrum at l = 3000 of 13 uK^2 at 95% confidence.Comment: 18 pages, 9 figure
A measurement of secondary cosmic microwave background anisotropies with two years of South Pole Telescope observations
We present the first three-frequency South Pole Telescope (SPT) cosmic
microwave background (CMB) power spectra. The band powers presented here cover
angular scales 2000 < ell < 9400 in frequency bands centered at 95, 150, and
220 GHz. At these frequencies and angular scales, a combination of the primary
CMB anisotropy, thermal and kinetic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effects, radio
galaxies, and cosmic infrared background (CIB) contributes to the signal. We
combine Planck and SPT data at 220 GHz to constrain the amplitude and shape of
the CIB power spectrum and find strong evidence for non-linear clustering. We
explore the SZ results using a variety of cosmological models for the CMB and
CIB anisotropies and find them to be robust with one exception: allowing for
spatial correlations between the thermal SZ effect and CIB significantly
degrades the SZ constraints. Neglecting this potential correlation, we find the
thermal SZ power at 150 GHz and ell = 3000 to be 3.65 +/- 0.69 muK^2, and set
an upper limit on the kinetic SZ power to be less than 2.8 muK^2 at 95%
confidence. When a correlation between the thermal SZ and CIB is allowed, we
constrain a linear combination of thermal and kinetic SZ power: D_{3000}^{tSZ}
+ 0.5 D_{3000}^{kSZ} = 4.60 +/- 0.63 muK^2, consistent with earlier
measurements. We use the measured thermal SZ power and an analytic, thermal SZ
model calibrated with simulations to determine sigma8 = 0.807 +/- 0.016.
Modeling uncertainties involving the astrophysics of the intracluster medium
rather than the statistical uncertainty in the measured band powers are the
dominant source of uncertainty on sigma8 . We also place an upper limit on the
kinetic SZ power produced by patchy reionization; a companion paper uses these
limits to constrain the reionization history of the Universe.Comment: 25 pages; 14 figures; Submitted to ApJ (Updated to reflect referee

Galaxy Clusters Selected with the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect from 2008 South Pole Telescope Observations
We present a detection-significance-limited catalog of 21 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich
selected galaxy clusters. These clusters, along with 1 unconfirmed candidate,
were identified in 178 deg^2 of sky surveyed in 2008 by the South Pole
Telescope to a depth of 18 uK-arcmin at 150 GHz. Optical imaging from the
Blanco Cosmology Survey (BCS) and Magellan telescopes provided photometric (and
in some cases spectroscopic) redshift estimates, with catalog redshifts ranging
from z=0.15 to z>1, with a median z = 0.74. Of the 21 confirmed galaxy
clusters, three were previously identified as Abell clusters, three were
presented as SPT discoveries in Staniszewski et al, 2009, and three were first
identified in a recent analysis of BCS data by Menanteau et al, 2010; the
remaining 12 clusters are presented for the first time in this work. Simulated
observations of the SPT fields predict the sample to be nearly 100% complete
above a mass threshold of M_200 ~ 5x10^14 M_sun/h at z = 0.6. This completeness
threshold pushes to lower mass with increasing redshift, dropping to ~4x10^14
M_sun/h at z=1. The size and redshift distribution of this catalog are in good
agreement with expectations based on our current understanding of galaxy
clusters and cosmology. In combination with other cosmological probes, we use
the cluster catalog to improve estimates of cosmological parameters. Assuming a
standard spatially flat wCDM cosmological model, the addition of our catalog to
the WMAP 7-year analysis yields sigma_8 = 0.81 +- 0.09 and w = -1.07 +- 0.29, a
~50% improvement in precision on both parameters over WMAP7 alone.Comment: 19 pages, 9 figures, 4 appendice
Multiple reservoirs of volatiles in the Moon revealed by the isotopic composition of chlorine in lunar basalts
The isotopes of chlorine (37Cl and 35Cl) are highly fractionated in lunar samples compared to most other Solar System materials. Recently, the chlorine isotope signatures of lunar rocks have been attributed to large-scale degassing processes that occurred during the existence of a magma ocean. In this study we investigated how well a suite of lunar basalts, most of which have not previously been analyzed, conform to previous models. The Cl isotope compositions (δ37Cl (‰) = [(37Cl/35Clsample/37Cl/35ClSMOC)-1]×1000, where SMOC refers to standard mean ocean chloride) recorded range from ∼+7 to +14 ‰ (Apollo 15), +10 to +19 ‰ (Apollo 12), +9 to +15 ‰ (70017), +4 to +8 ‰ (MIL 05035), and +15 to +22 ‰ (Kalahari 009). The Cl isotopic data from the present study support the mixing trends previously reported by Boyce et al., 2015, Barnes et al., 2016, as the Cl isotopic composition of apatites are positively correlated with bulk-rock incompatible trace element abundances in the low-Ti basalts, inclusive of low-Ti and KREEP basalts. This trend has been interpreted as evidence that incompatible trace elements, including Cl, were concentrated in the urKREEP residual liquid of the lunar magma ocean, rather than the mantle cumulates, and that urKREEP Cl had a highly fractionated isotopic composition. The source regions for the basalts were thus created by variable mixing between the mantle (Cl-poor and relatively unfractionated) and urKREEP. The high-Ti basalts show much more variability in measured Cl isotope ratios and scatter around the trend formed by the low-Ti basalts. Most of the data for lunar meteorites also fits the mixing of volatiles in their sources, but Kalahari 009, which is highly depleted in incompatible trace elements, contains apatites with heavily fractionated Cl isotopic compositions. Given that Kalahari 009 is one of the oldest lunar basalts and ought to have been derived from very early-formed mantle cumulates, a heavy Cl isotopic signature is likely not related to its mantle source, but more likely to magmatic or secondary alteration processes, perhaps via impact-driven vapor metasomatism of the lunar crust
