Series II. Correspondence between G.V. Black and F.S. McKay on mottled enamel of teeth
Abstract:
Between 1907 and 1915 Dr. Black and Dr. McKay, a practicing dentist in Colorado, had a running discussion concerning mottled teeth, or Colorado Brown Stain. Dr. Black spent the summer of 1909 in Colorado Springs to gather information and make observations. Their work culminated in the publication of Mottled teeth: an endemic developmental imperfection of the enamel of the teeth heretofore unknown in the literature of dentistry. (See: Dental cosmos, 1916; vol. 58, pp. 129-153, 477-484, 627-644, 781-792, 894-904)After Dr. Black's death, McKay continued their studies and discovered that fluoride in drinking water was the causal agent of the imperfection, noting the effect on enamel, but the lack of dental caries in those who had the condition. This was a critical breakthrough in understanding the etiology and prevention of dental caries. This discovery is the foundation for water fluoridation, which is the single most effective public health measure to inhibit tooth decay.

Examination/analysis of carbon dioxide emissions data source/s for TOXMAP : Fall project final report.
Description:
Final Report for TOXMAP Project , This report describes a special project on selecting data for TOXMAP. This report was completed on February 27, 2013 for work completed between October 2012 through January 2013.
Abstract:
Electricity production, transportation and other industries emit large quantities of greenhouse gases which trap heat in the atmosphere, raising the temperature of the earth. This study examines greenhouse gas emissions datasets from the Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Data and non-profit Center for Global Developments Carbon Monitoring for Action, for inclusion in TOXMAP, a product of the National Library of Medicine (NLM). TOXMAP is a geographical information system which allows users the opportunity to visualize, analyze and understand datasets related to environmental and human health. Each dataset was reviewed using the TOXMAP data review questionnaire in order to provide in-depth information regarding the scope, quality, background source and ease or ability to integrate the dataset into the newest release of TOXMAP. NLMs Specialized Information Services division (SIS) will use the reviews to draw conclusions about the data and determine if either dataset should be included in TOXMAP. The data reviewer recommends the EPAs GHG Data dataset because it incorporates several greenhouse gases, covers several industries including electricity production, is updated yearly and is subjected to the EPAs rigorous data review process.

TOXMAP data review. Carbon monitoring for action (CARMA)
Description:
This report describes a special project on selecting data for TOXMAP. This report was completed on January 23, 2013 for work completed between October 2012 through January 2013.
Abstract:
Carbon Monitoring for Action (CARMA) was launched in 2007and is the first global inventory of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions for the energy sector. As a dataset, CARMA contains information about the carbon emissions of power companies worldwide. When used in conjunction with mapping software, CARMA provides the location, ownership and emissions of all the power plants in the world.

Developing Educational Videos about National Library of Medicine K-12 Resources : Spring Project Report, August 16, 2013
Description:
This report describes a special project create an education video about the U.S. National Library of Medicine's genetic resources. This report was completed on August 15, 2013 for work completed between January through August 2013.
Abstract:
Background: The National Library of Medicine has several K-12 resources in the areas of science and health education. The project involved creating a short, engaging video to promote some of the resources, explain the basic features of the resource, and provide tips for using the resources in the classroom. Objective.The purpose of the project was to create a 3-4 minute educational video covering NLMs K-12 genetics resources. Methods: The project was accomplished by focusing on three K-12 genetic resources: Genetics Home Reference, Harry Potters World, and GeneEd. In order to provide context, the Associate Fellow reviewed 9th-12th grade national science curriculum standards, and reviewed the genetic contents of several often used science textbooks. Four teachers were contacted and asked to review the K-12 genetic resources. They were interviewed about their experiences with their responses captured on video. Two classroom settings were video-taped, one a mock setting and the other a real-life setting. The video was edited and produced using the Camtasia software. Results: Two videos were produced as a result of the project. One video explores all three genetic resources, Genetics Home Reference, Harry Potters World, and GeneEd. The second video focuses on the newest resource, GeneEd. While the project was successful, it was filled with challenges because of software and hardware issues. The resulting videos will be used at teachers conferences and perhaps be placed on the GeneEd website. Conclusion: Educational videos provide a rich medium to appropriately market the features of helpful resources to teachers and students. The video filming, editing and production process is complex and not to be undertaken lightly.

Extending JATS to include the NISO/NFAIS Recommended Practices for Online Supplemental Journal Article Materials
Description:
This paper was presented on April 01, 2014 for JATSCon 2014/2015 in Bethesda, Maryland.
Abstract:
This paper discusses our experience of creating an extension for JATS that incorporates the NISO "Recommended Practices for Online Supplemental Journal Article Materials" (NISO RP-2013). We will discuss our analysis of the recommendations and our comparison of the recommendations with JATS, as well as our thrashing over language and terminology associated with supplementary materials and our eventual creation of the extension. The extension is not part of the official JATS specification; it is a local extension that will be made publicly available for community use and discussion.

Delivery Pattern of Multiple Births in the Last 30 Years in the USA
Abstract:
Over 120 million births were analyzed for the study period from 1983 thru 2012. Overall the births for singleton and multiple births for every week of gestation are occurring relatively earlier in the latter part of the period, 2010-2012 compared to the earlier, 1983-1988. Earlier births were more common in the non-Hispanic blacks, unmarried, teenage or advanced maternal age mother, and pregnancies with maternal risk factors.

Is Fetal Life Riskier Than Neonatal Life, 1984-1991 Compared with 1996-2002
Abstract:
Tthe calculation of the neonatal mortality risk (NMR) and stillbirth risk (SBR) in the prevailing pregnancies at each gestational age allows the comparison of lives lost intrauterine and extra-uterine. No difference was noted in NMR and SBR from 1996 thru 2002 within each race in United States (US).
Gestational age specific birth weight curve for Asian Indian Newborns
Abstract:
The number of newborns of the Asian Indian (AI) origin have increased in last decade to over 40,000 per year in the US, according to the NCHS. In order to accurately assess the effects of the gestational pathologies such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia, etc, on the fetus there needs to be a gestational age (GA) specific birth weight (BWT) curve of the normal AI babies. For example, an AI large for gestation (LGA) may never meet the birth weight criteria established by curves for the majority of the babies born in the US. It is well known in the literature that newborns of AI origin weigh less than the white and black ethnicities but the percentile curve is lacking. The objective of this study is to create a GA specific BWT curve for AI newborns and compare it to the non-hispanic white (NHW) babies

Multiple births occur more commonly in the northern USA.
Abstract:
Incidence of multiple births is increasing in the USA. There are reports from animal studies that multiple births may occur more commonly in the colder climate because of survivability in of multiple ovulations in the colder ambient temperature. The purpose of this study is to determine the distribution of multiple births in the USA with relation to latitude.
