    Incidencia y evolución de membrana hialina en menores de 35 semanas según crecimiento intrauterino
    (2011) Mena Nannig, Patricia Isabel; Smith, J.; Milet, B.; Toro, C. A.; Arredondo, F.; Llanos, A.
    Introducción: Tradicionalmente se ha considerado que la restricción de crecimiento intrauterina produce maduración respiratoria, pero la información es diferente según si los estudios consideran el análisis por grupos de peso de nacimiento o edad gestacional. Objetivo: El objetivo de este análisis fue comparar la incidencia y evolución de membrana hialina, de los prematuros menores de 35 semanas de edad gestacional según fueran pequeños o no para edad gestacional. Pacientes y Método: Se analizaron dos bases de datos: 2 022 menores de 35 semanas hospitalizados en el Servicio para determinar incidencia de membrana hialina y 733 menores de 35 semanas tratados con surfactante con diagnóstico de membrana hialina para comparar evolución de ésta. Resultados: El análisis por grupos de edad gestacional muestra una incidencia de membrana hialina mayor, de 35,2%, en los pequeños para la edad gestacional, y de 29,1% en los no pequeños (p: 0,026). Si se analiza sólo menores de 1 500 gramos de peso de nacimiento, el grupo pequeño tiene una incidencia menor, de 47,5%, y los no pequeños de 60,7%. El análisis de regresión logística para alta con oxígeno de los que tuvieron membrana hialina, muestra asociación con menor puntaje z de peso de nacimiento, uso de corticoides y dependencia de oxígeno a las 36 semanas. Conclusiones: El recién nacido pretérmino pequeño para edad gestacional tiene mayor incidencia de membrana hialina y evoluciona con mayor dependencia de oxígeno al comparar por edad gestacional.

    Mapping the Stellar Content of the Milky Way with LSST
    (2012) Bochanski, John J.; Thorman, P.; Covey, K.; Olsen, K.; Dhital, S.; Beers, T. C.; Boeshaar, P.; Cargile, P.; Catelan, Márcio; Digel, S.; Guhathakurta, P.; Henry, T.; Ivezic, Z.; Juric, M.; Kalirai, J.; Kirkpatrick, J.; McGehee, P. M.; Minniti, D.; Mukadam, A.; Pepper, J.; Prsa, A.; Roškar, R.; Smith, J.; Stassun, K.; Tyson, A.
    The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will map half of the sky in six filters down to r=27.5 (AB mag; 5-sigma), with typical precision of one percent (0.01 mag). The ten year baseline of the survey will provide about a thousand multi-epoch observations for objects brighter than r=24.5, yielding variability, proper motions and trigonometric parallax measurements for hundreds of millions of stars. The resulting photometric and astrometric catalogs will enable novel and unique investigations, detailing the formation and evolution of the Milky Way's stellar populations, as well as neighboring galaxies. We highlight some of the enabled science studies, including results from the output source catalog derived from simulated LSST images. A few examples of the stellar populations projects will be shown: sampling a census of the MLT population near the solar neighborhood; mapping the structure and stellar metallicity content of the Milky Way's disk and halo; assembling catalogs of eclipsing binaries, subdwarfs and white dwarfs, suitable for measuring fundamental stellar parameters; and measuring the Milky Way's star formation history using stellar ages determined from gyrochronology and rotation periods, as well as the white dwarf luminosity function. We also highlight the studies enabled by the "Deep Drilling" fields, patches within the LSST footprint that will be imaged at a higher cadence over the course of the survey....

    This paper summarizes the physics potential of the CLIC high-energy e+e- linear collider. It provides input to the Snowmass 2013 process for the energy-frontier working groups on The Higgs Boson (HE1), Precision Study of Electroweak Interactions (HE2), Fully Understanding the Top Quark (HE3), as well as The Path Beyond the Standard Model -- New Particles, Forces, and Dimensions (HE4). It is accompanied by a paper describing the CLIC accelerator study, submitted to the Frontier Capabilities group of the Snowmass process.

    Reactivation of Fault Systems by Compartmentalized Hydrothermal Fluids in the Southern Andes Revealed by Magnetotelluric and Seismic Data
    (2020) Pearce, R. K.; Sanchez de la Muela, A.; Moorkamp, M.; Hammond, J. O. S.; Mitchell, T. M.; Cembrano, J.; Araya Vargas, J.; Meredith, P. G.; Iturrieta, P.; Perez-Estay, N.; Marshall, N. R.; Smith, J.; Yanez, G.; Ashley Griffith, W.; Marquardt, C.; Stanton-Yonge, A.; Nunez, R.
    In active volcanic arcs such as the Andean volcanic mountain belt, magmatically sourced fluids are channeled through the brittle crust by faults and fracture networks. In the Andes, volcanoes, geothermal springs, and major mineral deposits have a spatial and genetic relationship with NNE trending, margin-parallel faults and margin-oblique, NW trending Andean Transverse Faults (ATF). The Tinguiririca and Planchon-Peteroa volcanoes in the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) demonstrate this relationship, as their spatially associated thermal springs show strike alignment to the NNE oriented El Fierro Thrust Fault System. We constrain the fault system architecture and its interaction with volcanically sourced hydrothermal fluids using a combined magnetotelluric (MT) and seismic survey that was deployed for 20 months. High-conductivity zones are located along the axis of the active volcanic chain, delineating fluids and/or melt. A distinct WNW trending cluster of seismicity correlates with resistivity contrasts, considered to be a reactivated ATF. Seismicity occurs below 4 km, suggesting activity is limited to basement rocks, and the cessation of seismicity at 9 km delineates the local brittle-ductile transition. As seismicity is not seen west of the El Fierro fault, we hypothesize that this structure plays a key role in compartmentalizing magmatically derived hydrothermal fluids to the east, where the fault zone acts as a barrier to cross-fault fluid migration and channels fault-parallel fluid flow to the surface from depth. Increases in fluid pressure above hydrostatic may facilitate reactivation. This site-specific case study provides the first three-dimensional seismic and MT observations of the mechanics behind the reactivation of an ATF.
