[Bmeroundtable-list] As of June 30 - rental vehicle policy changes
by Gelfand, Johanna K 29 May '24

29 May '24

Daily rental vehicle reservations officially transition to Enterprise on June 30 Daily and long-term rental vehicle reservations for university travelers have been transitioning from Purdue's Transportation Services department to Enterprise over the past few years, and the transition will be completed on June 30. Departments, travelers and their delegates should review the information below to ensure appropriate processes are in place in advance. Summary of changes: * Limited rental vehicle services will remain available through Transportation Services until May 31. * All travelers with an existing Purdue Travel Card (TCard) should start using Enterprise now for university business vehicle reservations. * Individuals who anticipate future travel but do not have a TCard should work with their business office to apply for one or determine other appropriate payment options (see "Travelers without a TCard" section below). * Guidance on how to book a rental car is included below. * Student organizations should work with Student Activities and Organizations (SAO) on the appropriate process to rent a vehicle. As previously communicated in "Business@Purdue<https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/sites/bpnews/Lists/NewsReleases/display.aspx…>," Transportation Services has been working with Enterprise to transition vehicle rental reservations over the past few years. To accommodate more rental vehicle reservations from university travelers, Enterprise has increased its staff and fleet at its Purdue University Airport/West Lafayette location. In addition, customer service training for staff has been focused on addressing the unique needs of university travel customers. Renting vehicles through Enterprise has been available for several years for Purdue business, and travelers have increasingly chosen this option given the flexibility and ease of use. Vehicle reservations should be made through Enterprise beginning now. Vehicle reservations and operations through Transportation Services will become more limited in the coming months in preparation for the full transition, with all reservations ceasing on May 31. Travelers with a Tcard Effective immediately, travelers who already have a TCard (or their travel delegates) should use the options in the order listed below to reserve rental vehicles: 1. Book through the Purdue/Enterprise reservation link<https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/travel/discounts/codes/index.php> listed on the Purdue discount page (Purdue login credentials are required to access), where the discount code will automatically be applied. 2. Call the local Enterprise branch at 765-463-4804, touch the star (*) key to speak to a local Enterprise employee and reference the Purdue discount code<https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/travel/discounts/codes/index.php> (Purdue login credentials are required to view) when making your reservation. Callers who do not touch the star key may be routed to a nonlocal office that is not familiar with the Purdue rental process. * Hertz is another preferred vendor, and reservations may be made through them as an alternative. Visit the link above if a discount code is needed when booking. 3. Follow the quick reference guide<https://purdue0.sharepoint.com/:w:/s/Procure/training/EW-VztRBFPxDq-iT5Mrq0…> to book through Concur, where the discount code will automatically apply. Travelers will need to pick up their reserved rental vehicle at the vendor's location during established business hours and use their TCard to pay at the counter. Travelers without a TCard Individuals who are planning future travel and do not already have a TCard should work with their business office to apply for one<https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/card-services/resources.php>. Book directly through Enterprise using the first or second option above. New TCard applications will take approximately 10-14 days to process. Since internal billing is not available through Enterprise, choose the "pay at counter" option; then pay with the new TCard in person at Enterprise when picking up the reserved vehicle during their business hours. As an alternative, a departmental Purchasing Card (PCard) may be used with permission from the business office. If a rental vehicle is needed within a week's notice prior to May 31, and a departmental PCard is unavailable, contact Transportation Services at transportation(a)purdue.edu<mailto:transportation@purdue.edu> for assistance. Student employees Students who need to rent a vehicle for university business should seek a departmental PCard for payment with permission from their business office. Also, student employees must be designated as an approved driver by Risk Management<https://www.purdue.edu/business/risk_mgmt/Vehicle_Use_Info/index.html> (complete the RM01D DocuSign form) prior to renting a vehicle for business use, and business offices should ensure that all other Risk Management requirements for students are met before a vehicle is rented. Student organizations Student organizations should work with SAO for guidance on rental vehicles. Information is available on the Student Organization Transportation Requests webpage<https://www.purdue.edu/transportation/student_orgs/index.html>. More information about the rental process and updated TCard guidance, including FAQs<https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/travel/discounts/car-rental-faqs.php> and rental car rates<https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/travel/discounts/codes/index.php>, is located on the Travel website. Questions may be directed to Transportation Services at transportation(a)purdue.edu<mailto:transportation@purdue.edu>. -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list

[Bmeroundtable-list] BME Roundtable - Week of May 27, 2024
by Gelfand, Johanna K 28 May '24

28 May '24

[cid:image001.jpg@01DAB0D8.1249EC70] BME WEEKLY ROUNDTABLE MAY 27, 2024 INTERIM HEAD'S NOTE What a race! I did not super follow this year's Greatest Spectacle in Racing until the race was delayed by severe weather Sunday noon. Jo read my mind by putting a picture on top. I hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend. I was a bit dreading watching the Pacers surrender an 18-point lead late in the game and fell to 0-3 in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. I have had one-on-one meetings with all the Assistant and Associate Professors with majority appointment in the department. I enjoyed these meetings. Please let me know if there is anything else you want to know from me regarding the Primary Committee evaluations. One highlight I want to provide is about this year's Purdue Day of Giving. The Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering received 41 total gifts compared to 33 last year. We were 34th on the leaderboard in terms of the total amount raised. We also won one of the hourly challenges: 50th Original Tweet using Unit Handle / Hashing - $250 for Purdue Biomedical Engineering Society! UPCOMING IMPORTANT DATES Week of May 27 Mon., May 27: Memorial Day Holiday, All offices closed. Wed., May 29: Mini Symposium with IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences, 2:00-5:00 p.m., Goodman Hall Auditorium, Indianapolis and via Teams. We are excited to announce a mini-symposium in Indianapolis, aimed at enhancing awareness and fostering collaboration between IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. The symposium will be held on May 29th 2-5 PM at the Goodman Hall Auditorium. For those unable to attend in person, a Teams option will be available. We anticipate this event will lead to collaborations in additional areas. However, neuroimaging will serve as our initial focus area, using a bottom-up approach to initiate discussions. The symposium will feature eight 20-minute talks: four from BME (Fang Huang, Vitaliy Raz, Maria Makin, and Young Kim or Cheen Ang) and four from IUSM Radiology . We strongly encourage you to attend this important event to expand our multidisciplinary research collaborations. This will be an opportunity to learn more about research and education at IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences. For questions, please contact Young Kim (youngkim(a)purdue.edu) IMPORTANT MJIS ALERTS In case you missed this in "Purdue Today": Nursing and Pharmacy Education Building<https://www.purdue.edu/administrative-operations/news/2024/050924-nursing-p…>: Construction on the new Nursing and Pharmacy Education Building, also south of Mitch Daniels Boulevard and along South Russell Street, is scheduled to begin in July. The same traffic patterns for the Life Science Ranges Phenotyping Greenhouse Building will remain in place from July through February 2025. The sidewalk and street parking along the west side of South Russell Street will also close in July and remain closed off through November 2026. The parking lot located at the southwest corner of Mitch Daniels Boulevard and Russell Street will permanently close July 22. The "parking lot located at the southwest corner of Mitch Daniels...." Is the one behind MJIS/HERL.

Research Title: Investigating Alterations in Neuronal Network Dynamics, Astrocyte Reactivity, and Oxidative Stress Post-Traumatic Brain Injury Utilizing in vitro TBI-On-A-Chip Model. Committee members: Riyi Shi (Chair, BME), Matthew Ward (BME), Yunjie Tong (BME), and GuangJun Zhang (CPB) Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can induce critical changes in neuronal network dynamics and alter the structural and functional connectivity of affected brain regions, potentially leading to serious sequalae, such as seizures. Epileptogenesis results from a shift in network dynamics towards a hyperexcitable and highly synchronized state, which occurs after brain injury via unclear mechanisms. While in vivo TBI models offer crucial insight into pathophysiological changes occurring in the brain post-injury, it is often difficult to precisely control the injury extent (e.g., degree of tissue deformation) in animals, even with strict control of injury administration (e.g., rate of rapid acceleration injury or weight-drop). Unfortunately, this methodological-induced variation confounds experimental outcomes, further obfuscating our understanding of the mechanisms that underly injury pathologies such as seizure. To overcome these limitations by minimizing systemic confounding variables, we utilized our unique in vitro TBI-on-a-chip model to investigate changes in network dynamics and seizure-like activity (SLA) post-TBI, with relative ease of measuring functional and structural changes following injury. TBI-on-a-chip simulates concussion by applying clinically relevant, rapid acceleration injuries to murine cortical networks cultured on microelectrode arrays (MEAs), and allows real-time, cell-scale monitoring of electrophysiological and morphological changes that arise from the impact injury. Extracellular recordings of spike activity revealed that networks exposed to 10 rapidly (4-6 sec) administered 30 g impacts displayed heightened network synchronization, a hallmark of SLA. Furthermore, cross-correlation analysis revealed changes in network dynamics and neuronal firing hierarchy post-impact. Additionally, immunocytochemical studies on networks exposed to single 30, 100, and 200 g impacts showed progressive increases in the astrocyte reactivity marker, GFAP, and the lipid peroxidation product and oxidative stress marker, acrolein. Since astrocytes regulate ion and neurotransmitter concentrations in the extracellular space of synapses, and astrocyte dysfunction via increased reactivity can lead to neuronal hyperexcitability and increased susceptibility for seizures, these results suggest a potential mechanism underlying TBI-induced epilepsy. Moreover, we show that acrolein, even in the absence of injury, is capable of inducing increases in GFAP, suggesting that oxidative stress could increase astrocyte reactivity, and thereby contribute to post-TBI epilepsy. In summary, this work using the TBI-on-a-chip model could provide vital insights into functional and morphological changes in neurons and astrocytes following TBI, and enable investigation of the mechanisms underlying SLA, which could lead to the identification of potential therapeutic targets.

[Bmeroundtable-list] Mini Symposium with IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences – May 29th Wednesday 2-5 PM in Indianapolis
by Gelfand, Johanna K 20 May '24

20 May '24

===================================================== Mini Symposium with IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences – May 29th Wednesday 2-5 PM in Indianapolis Dear Weldon faculty, staff, and students, We are excited to announce a mini-symposium in Indianapolis, aimed at enhancing awareness and fostering collaboration between IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences and Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. The symposium will be held on May 29th 2-5 PM at the Goodman Hall Auditorium. For those unable to attend in person, a Teams option will be available. We anticipate this event will lead to collaborations in additional areas. However, neuroimaging will serve as our initial focus area, using a bottom-up approach to initiate discussions. The symposium will feature eight 20-minute talks: four from BME (Fang Huang, Vitaliy Raz, Maria Makin, and Young Kim or Cheen Ang) and four from IUSM Radiology . We strongly encourage you to attend this important event to expand our multidisciplinary research collaborations. This will be an opportunity to learn more about research and education at IUSM Radiology & Imaging Sciences. Sincerely, Young Young L. Kim Professor and Associate Head for Research | Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering University Faculty Scholar and Showalter Faculty Scholar | Purdue University -- Bmeroundtable-list mailing list Bmeroundtable-list(a)ecn.purdue.edu https://engineering.purdue.edu/ECN/mailman/listinfo/bmeroundtable-list
