A must-attend gathering for the industrial cleaning industry
Excitement is high for the WaterJet Technology Association (WJTA) Conference & Expo taking place November 5-7 in New Orleans. Now held biennially, the 2025 event is a must-attend opportunity to experience the latest advancements in industrial cleaning and connect with leaders from across the sector.
Wright: Budgets and health care costs
As we digest the results of Town Meeting Day, the focus on taxes and school budgets continues to be the topic at every water cooler and community store. There is no argument that employee wages and benefits are the single largest driver of school spending and within that, health insurance premiums and health care costs draw the most focus and attention. The real question is: Were we asking the right “why” when it comes to school spending and how much health care accounts for those costs?

This letter is from Peter J. Wright, he President and Chief Executive Officer of Northwestern Medical Center. As we digest the results of Town Meeting Day, the focus on taxes and school budgets continues to be the topic at every water cooler and community store. There is no argument that employee wages and benefits are the single largest driver of school spending and within that, health insurance premiums and healthcare costs draw the most focus and attention.
Letter to the Editor: The future of outpatient dialysis in rural communities
This letter is from Peter J. Wright, FACHE, President and CEO of Northwestern Medical Center. The decision by the University of Vermont Health Network (UVMHN) to transition the operation of three of their outpatient dialysis clinics in response to the budget orders from the Green Mountain Care Board (GMCB) has caused understandable concern. I appreciate this opportunity to speak to that.
Letter to the Editor: The time to speak out about NMC is now
This letter is from Peter J. Wright, FACHE, president & CEO of Northwestern Medical Center. You may have heard or read reports recently about the impacts of the State’s hospital regulator’s (the Green Mountain Care Board - GMCB) decisions on the health care system in Vermont. I would like to share some specifics on the impacts at Northwestern Medical Center (NMC) and ask for your support in finding a better path forward.
Aggregation of Transthyretin by Fluid Agitation
Abstract The transthyretin (TTR) tetramer, assembled as a dimer of dimers, transports thyroxine and retinol binding protein in blood plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. Aggregation of wild type or pathogenic variant TTR leads to transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), which is associated with neurodegenerative and cardiac disease. The trigger for TTR aggregation under physiological conditions is unknown.

Master Planning for the Future of Electric Vehicles Original
An effective decarbonization strategy is often an exercise in enhancing master planning – one in which pathways to reduce emissions are identified and implemented while thinking creatively about how to meet community infrastructure needs around mobility and building use.
Celebrating 40 years and looking to the future
After a successful return to in-person events at the 2022 WaterJet Technology Association (WJTA) Conference & Expo, the association is gearing up for its 2023 event, marking the 40th anniversary since its founding in 1983. The industry has developed significantly over the last 40 years, and the 2023 Conference & Expo will showcase the latest in industrial cleaning technology and safety.
From Immunogenic Peptides to Intrinsically Disordered Proteins
Unidirectional Regulation of Signaling The cell must respond rapidly to conditions such as hypoxia or oxidative stress. This is seen for many of the signaling pathways where IDPs participate: under normal conditions, transcription factors that code for stress responses are synthesized, but are either rapidly degraded (for example, HIF-1α) or sequestered in inactive form until needed (for example, NF-κB).
Evaluating the economic feasibility of co-digesting manure and food waste in northern New York
The anaerobic co-digestion of dairy manure and food waste can provide significant methane emission reduction by avoiding emissions from both the long-term slurry storage of raw manure and the landfilling of organics, while additionally producing a renewable fuel that can replace fossil fuel sources.

Renewable energy options from biogas
Contributed by Lauren Ray and Peter Wright Published on 22 December 2021 Anaerobic digestion of dairy manure and other organic material (e.g., food waste) produces biogas that can be used for renewable energy options. The options in use today include generating electricity and heat using a combined heat and power (CHP) system and producing renewable natural gas (RNG).

Manure management to reduce greenhouse gases: What can dairy farms do?
Contributed by Peter Wright and Curt Gooch Published on 02 December 2020 Concern is worldwide about how to control the anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. GHGs include carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O), and are expressed as CO2 equivalents (CO2 eq.). On a 100-year basis, CH4 is 34 times as potent as CO2, while N2O is 298 times as potent as CO2, according to a 2013 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. CO2 eq.
Food waste in digesters
Forty percent of food in this country is wasted. At the same time, nearly 2.8 million New Yorkers struggle to have enough to eat. Food also makes up 18 percent of New York state’s solid waste stream and is filling up landfills. The vast majority of this food is disposed of in landfills where it anaerobically decomposes, producing and releasing methane (CH4), a potent greenhouse gas (GHG) with a global warming potential of about 34 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2).
AI in the home: Smart devices do’s and don’ts
The growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in our homes have been increasing exponentially in the past few years, and with a large number of the UK workforce embracing the pandemic-imposed working-from-home culture, for many of us our homes have become our office. In this article, we consider the impact of this shift from a data perspective with a particular focus on smart speakers and other devices containing “virtual assistant” technology.

COVID-19 and commercial pharma: Navigating an uneven recovery
The COVID-19 crisis is creating an extraordinary strain on society, which must deal with the infection, the fear of infection, and the physical, emotional, and financial implications of physical distancing. In this environment, healthcare professionals (HCPs) are facing unprecedented challenges: advising and treating patients with suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19, finding ways to tailor treatment recommendations, and providing effective care (often remotely).
Facility planning
Dairy farming is a constantly changing business. Farming for the long-term requires a facility that changes as well. Expansion, new technology and new enterprises may all be in every sustainable farm’s future. Planning for a new or additional facility is best done carefully and thoughtfully. We have all seen farms laid out in a chaotic array of buildings and driveways that are inefficient and make future improvements difficult. Determine the mission of the farm.
Controlling compaction: Do’s and don’ts
Farming is ever-changing and improvements to perform timely field operations can impact soil health. Larger, road-ready trucks and equipment with higher tire pressures and larger axle loads made to spread manure, plant, spray and harvest quicker can cause severe soil compaction. Predicted wetter seasons and the need to maximize crop yields and forage quality increases the time pressure for field operations.
Cardiomyocyte Membrane Structure and cAMP Compartmentation Produce Anatomical Variation in β2AR-cAMP Responsiveness in Murine Hearts
Cardiomyocytes from the apex but not the base of the heart increase their contractility in response to β -adrenoceptor (β AR) stimulation, which may underlie the development of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy. However, both cell types produce comparable cytosolic amounts of the second messenger cAMP. We investigated this discrepancy using nanoscale imaging techniques and found that, structurally, basal cardiomyocytes have more organized membranes (higher T-tubular and caveolar densities).
Tight complexes from disordered proteins
The axiom ‘opposites attract’ applies to many aspects of life, including the many positively and negatively charged biological molecules that control the intricate cellular processes that enable an organism to survive. Even in the crowded environment of a cell, proteins can seek out their binding partners by using charged regions to attract oppositely charged molecules.
Role of Intrinsic Protein Disorder in the Function and Interactions of the Transcriptional Coactivators CREB-binding Protein (CBP) and p300
The transcriptional coactivators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300 undergo a particularly rich set of interactions with disordered and partly ordered partners, as a part of their ubiquitous role in facilitating transcription of genes.
