![]() It's as if someone looked at your dog and said, "What a fine animal you've got!", and you answered, "That's not an animal-that's a pedigreed Labrador Retriever." The specific type of animal matters to you, because it's special but it really is still an animal too. But when you grow up, it's important to think of the square as a SPECIAL rectangle, because it is all that a rectangle is, and more. So we teach children "this is a rectangle, that is a square-the rectangle's sides are different lengths". The trouble is that in everyday life, we usually use the word "rectangle" to refer to non-squares, because if the shape were a square, we would call it that. Then I moved on to the other issue, which may or may not trouble Alisa: that classification uses words in a different way than everyday speech: It sounds less silly with squares and rectangles, but the idea is the same. It's almost silly to ask and answer those questions. Can a dog be an animal? Of course - every dog is an animal! Can an animal be a dog? Yes, if you look at a dog, that is an animal that is a dog. It may help to think about other categories, like dogs and animals. That's more than saying that a square CAN be a rectangle it IS.Īnd since squares are rectangles, you know that some rectangles are squares-namely, the squares are! So I started by clarifying the wording, and the idea of classification: Hi, Alisa.Īctually, EVERY square is a rectangle, since the angles in a square are always right angles. Here is a typical question, from 2004: Are Squares Rectangles? Are Rectangles Squares?Ĭan a rectangle be a square? I just was wondering because a square can be a rectangle, but can a rectangle be a square?Īlisa’s comments suggest that she is confused about the word “can”, as I said above, but has no trouble with the concept of squares being rectangles. At a much more advanced level, we would be talking about “universal and existential quantifiers” but even the basic language is tricky for the uninitiated. On the other hand, “Can an X be a Y?” means, “Is some X a Y?” (or, “Are there any X’s that are Y’s?”), and not “Is it possible that every X is a Y?”. ![]() ![]() I find that many students struggle with the very form of the question, as much as with the definitions it is asking about: Are we being asked if every square is a rectangle, or just if some particular square is a rectangle? A big part of the difficulty is that kids are not used to technical language, where the details of the wording are essential.They may need to be shown that, for example, “Is an X a Y?” means, “Is every X a Y?” (or, “Is an X always a Y?”), and not “Is some X a Y?”. They often have trouble with the very idea of classifying items by applying definitions, and also with the fact that definitions can vary, both between everyday and technical usages, and from one textbook to another. We get many questions about classifying shapes, from both elementary and high school students (or their parents or teachers).

He was already within the orbit of Watergate and some of its central players. In 1976, O’Connor was a Justice Department prosecutor in his 20s. “We wanted to make sure we could tell the story the right way,” he said. O’Connor said he hopes he told Felt’s story “the way Mark would want it to be told.” It was through the narratives by O’Connor and Woodward that his role as Deep Throat was revealed and explained. In Felt’s own book, “The FBI Pyramid” in 1979, he denied he was Deep Throat. It’s the first time that I really took it seriously.” “We didn’t think it was true that dad was Deep Throat because he had denied it so insistently and emphatically,” said Joan Felt, 78, of Santa Rosa. “Mark’s a very truthful guy, but he’s also very clever,” O’Connor said. He would acknowledge that he was “the guy that they called ‘Deep Throat.’” When O’Connor first met Felt, he said, Felt would not admit to being Deep Throat. Above all things, he sought justice, O’Connor said, but he was torn by the possibility of tarnishing what he saw as the agency’s sterling reputation in order to achieve it. “Felt did it because he wanted the public to keep engaged in it,” O’Connor said.īut Felt was a nuanced agent and his role as the leaker conflicted him. O’Connor said Felt had conducted nearly 1,500 interviews by the time he met secretly with Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward for the first time on Oct. One of the chief investigators of the break-in and the cover-up was Felt, then the associate director, or second-in-command, at the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The scandal ultimately led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974 and the conviction of several top officials. The subsequent media coverage, judicial investigations and congressional committee scrutiny revealed the administration of President Richard Nixon had attempted to cover up its role in the break-in. Watergate refers to the political scandal stemming from the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters on June 17, 1972, at the Watergate Office Building in Washington, D.C. What was a big surprise was when we found out that he actually was.” “It wasn’t a big shock for John to say that. “The idea that it could be him was out there,” said Jones, 40, of Los Angeles. O’Connor, already a Watergate buff, told Jones his grandfather was Deep Throat. It all started at a lively dinner in Marin in 2005 for his daughter, a student at Stanford. O’Connor’s connection with Felt resulted in a seminal 2005 article in Vanity Fair where Felt, then 91, revealed his identity as Deep Throat. Perhaps most importantly to O’Connor, it is a chance to herald Felt’s reputation and legacy to the Watergate fetishists, history buffs and journalists who are still rabid for information years later. On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the crime that upended a presidential administration, O’Connor, a former federal prosecutor and a San Francisco attorney, discussed his unique role in revealing Felt’s most protected secret. O’Connor, a Kentfield resident, acted as Felt’s lawyer and adviser in the three years before Felt’s death in 2008. Mark Felt, he said, the former FBI agent known as Deep Throat who fed information to the Washington Post during the Watergate scandal. John O’Connor doesn’t believe this story is about him. ![]() Advisory Board Member, International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, 2007-current.Editorial Board Member, Computers and Geotechnics, 2007-current.Geotechnical Informatics specialty editor, Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 2008-current.Associate Editor, Tunneling and Underground Space Technology 2010-current.Special Issue Editor, Earthquake Spectra, Nepal Issue (2016-2017).Civil Engineering, California, 1995-present.Civil Engineering, Lebanon, 1995-present.Arup, San Francisco, CA, Transbay Terminal 2004-2010.Terracon, Atlanta, GA, Port of Anchorage Expansion 2004-2010.ARUP, NY, High Rise building Settlement Evaluation, Mexico City, 2010.Parson Brinkerhoff, CA, Seismic Review Panel, California High Speed Rail Project, 2010.Seattle Public Utilities, Water Storage Reservoir Seismic Analysis 2011.MRCE, NY, Landfill Reclamation, Lebanon, 2011-2012.Ardaman & Associates, I-20 Bridge over Mississippi, 2011.Black and Veatch, Chicago, Quarry, 2013-2014.Arup, Cupertino, CA, Apple Park New Campus, Seismic Design Review.California Senate, Sacramento, Panel for review of New Eastern Span of the Bay Bridge, 2014.Arup, San Francisco, CA Downtown Extension and Transbay Transit Center, 2014-2016.Seattle Public Utilities, Chair, Technical Advisory Panel, Seismic Retrofit Evaluation for Buried Reservoirs, 2016-2018.San Francisco Public Utilities, San Francisco, CA, Chair, Technical Advisory Panel, Mountain Tunnel, CBSIP and Folsom Tunnel, 2017-current.Mott McDonald, Geotechnical Reviewer, BART to San Jose Extension Project, 2019-current.FMI, Technical Reviewer, Smelter land reclamation project, Gersick, Indonesia, 2019.Los Alamos National Laboratory, Peer Reviewer, Seismic Performance Analysis of a Facility, 2019-current.Broadway Tunnel project, Vancouver, Canada, Geo-seismic reviewer, 2021-current.Engineer II, The PB/MK TEAM, Dallas, Texas, June 1992-March 1994.Senior Engineer, Parsons Brinckerhoff, San Francisco, California, March 1994-December 1997.Assistant Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, December 1997-August 2004.Associate Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, August 2005-August 2009.Professor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, August 2009-August 2014. ![]() Hall Endowed Professor in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, August 2014-present ![]() Civil Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology 1987 Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering MIT 1988 Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering MIT 1992 He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2022.

Presence of at least three risk factors for coronary artery disease (i.e., diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking, family history).ģ. The following seven factors help assess the mortality risk:ġ. Cardiologists who performed the angiographies and echocardiographs were blinded to the TIMI scores of patients. Echocardiography study was done by an expert cardiologist at the time of admission using vivid ® S6 GE device. Stenosis of the coronary artery was given a score of 0 if narrowing was less than 50% and a score of 1 if stenosis was greater than 50%. TIMI score predictive factors (Presence of at least three risk factors for coronary artery disease, age of 65 years or older, presence of 2 or more episodes of angina 24 hours before the presentation, aspirin use in the past seven days, previous history of coronary stenosis of 50% or more, ST-segment deviations greater than or equal to 0.05 mV on initial ECG on admission, elevated serum cardiac markers of necrosis) and angiographic data were also included in the checklist.Ĭoronary artery angiography was done and reported by one expert cardiologist. Patients with unclear past medical history or past coronary angiographic history, prior coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), atypical chest pain, evidence of ST-segment elevation in the initial ECG, those who underwent the angiographic procedure due to reasons other than ischemic heart disease, and those who did not give consent for participating were excluded.ĭata on baseline characteristics, including demographics (age, sex), risk factors (weight, hypertension, diabetes, current smoking, family history of coronary artery disease), and medical history (prior angina or MI), were collected. Patients with UA or NSTEMI who underwent angiographic study were included in the study using census sampling method. Written informed consent was obtained from all the patients for participating in the study. The study was approved by the ethics committee of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (Code: IR.1398) and the researchers adhered to the principles of the Helsinki Declaration and patient data confidentiality throughout the study. This prospective cross-sectional study was designed to evaluate the correlation between TIMI score, and the number of vessels involved in the angiographic study of NSTEMI and UA patients, presenting to Modarres Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from April 2019 to August 2020. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between TIMI risk score and the number of vessels involved in the angiographic study of patients presenting to emergency department following UA or NSTEMI. This is particularly important for lower-middle-income countries, which are increasingly affected by cardiovascular disease epidemic and encompass different genetics and lifestyle. Hence, the development of the TIMI risk score originated from developed countries, with limited data evaluating the effectiveness in developing countries. The TIMI score was established as one of the most commonly utilized risk assessment models in the chest pain units to warrant further workup. Patients presenting with Unstable Angina (UA) or NSTEMI that fit score 3 or more on the TIMI model are mostly recommended to undergo early invasive management with cardiac angiography and revascularization if necessary ( 9). There are seven components used in the calculation of the TIMI score. The TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) research group has introduced a specific model, the TIMI risk score assessment tool, which has been found to be predictive of the severity of vascular diseases and the potential of coronary circulation involvement in chest pain patients ( 8). Nonetheless, electrocardiogram (ECG), as the most readily available diagnostic tool in chest pain units, is not adequately helpful in decision making( 7). Choosing the best treatment in the initial stages following quick diagnosis is of great importance in improving the outcome. Several randomized clinical trials performed in the past two decades have established that immediate and complete restoration of flow in the occluded artery decreases infarct size, improves survival rates, and preserves left ventricular (LV) function ( 5, 6). Each year, three million people experience ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and also non-ST-segment elevation MI (NSTEMI) was estimated to occur in about four million ( 4). ![]() Myocardial infarction (MI) is known as the most severe presentation of CAD and CAD accounts for 30% of all mortalities ( 3). Despite recent developments, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death across the world. Advancements of cardiac care units and revascularization methods, as well as the developments in pharmacotherapy, have led to improved patient outcomes after acute coronary syndrome (ACS) ( 1, 2). ![]()
