Smoking, Cardiac Symptoms, and an Emergency Care Visit: A Mixed Methods Exploration of Cognitive and Emotional Reactions by Karyn A. Tappe, Edwin D. Boudreaux, Beth Bock, Erin O'Hea, Brigitte M. Baumann, Steven M. Hollenberg, Bruce Becker, Gretchen B. Chapman

“…Although the typical profile was characterized by a peak in perceived illness severity and negative emotions at the time the patient presented in the ED, considerable pattern variation occurred. Our results suggest that future studies of event-related perceptions and emotional reactions should consider using multi-item and multidimensional assessment methods rated serially over the event chronology.…”

Redwing, K. Andre Mkhoyan, Venkatraman Gopalan, Yang Yang, Bharat Jalan, Saptarshi Das

“…Our observation includes ultra-fast polarization switching (~10 ns), low switching voltage (<6 V), over 10 years of nonvolatile retention, 100,000 endurance cycles, and 32 conductance states (5-bit memory) in SrTiO3-gated MoS2 transistors at 15 K and up to 100 K. Additionally, we exploit room-temperature weak polarization switching, a feature of incipient ferroelectricity, to construct a physical reservoir for pattern recognition. …”
