The Power BI dashboard aggregates data from the university’s financial system and integrated library system to provide a consolidated view, and to tell the library's story in a more engaging way. The author proposes using this type of business intelligence technology to provide a transformative impact on financial operations of libraries.Item Open Access Air, surface, and wastewater surveillance of SARS-CoV-2; a multimodal evaluation of COVID-19 detection in a built environment(Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, 2025-01) Martinez, Andreas Olsen; Dietz, Leslie G.; Parhizkar, Hooman; Kaya, Devrim; Northcutt, Dale; Horve, Patrick F.; Stenson, Jason; Harry, Michael; Mickle, David; Jaaf, Shana; Hachimi, Oumaima; Kanalos, Casey; Martinotti, Isaac; Bowles, Garis; Fretz, Mark; Kelly, Christine; Radniecki, Tyler S.; Wymelenberg, Kevin Van DenBACKGROUND: Environmental surveillance of infectious organisms holds tremendous promise to reduce human-to-human transmission in indoor spaces through early detection. OBJECTIVE: In this study we determined the applicability and limitations of wastewater, indoor high-touch surfaces, in-room air, and rooftop exhaust air sampling methods for detecting SARS-CoV-2 in a real world building occupied by residents recently diagnosed with COVID-19. METHODS: We concurrently examined the results of three 24-hour environmental surveillance techniques, indoor surface sampling, exhaust air sampling and wastewater surveillance, to the known daily census fluctuations in a COVID-19 isolation dormitory. Additionally, we assessed the ability of aerosol samplers placed in the large volume lobby to detect SARS-CoV-2 multiple times per day. RESULTS: Our research reveals an increase in the number of individuals confirmed positive with COVID-19 as well as their estimated human viral load to be associated with statistically significant increases in viral loads detected in rooftop exhaust aerosol samples (p = 0.0413), wastewater samples (p = 0.0323,), and indoor high-touch surfaces (p < 0.001)). We also report that the viral load detected in lobby aerosol samples was statistically higher in samples collected during presence of occupants whose COVID-19 diagnostic tests were confirmed positive via qPCR compared to periods when the lobby was occupied by either contact-traced (suspected positive) individuals or during unoccupied periods (p = 0.0314 and <2e−16). SIGNIFICANCE: We conclude that each daily (24h) surveillance method, rooftop exhaust air, indoor high-touch surfaces, and wastewater, provide useful detection signals for building owner/operator(s). Furthermore, we demonstrate that exhaust air sampling can provide spatially resolved signals based upon ventilation exhaust zones. Additionally, we find that indoor lobby air sampling can provide temporally resolved signals useful during short duration sampling periods (e.g., 2-4 hours) even with intermittent occupancy by occupants diagnosed with COVID-19. IMPACT: ● Our research demonstrates that aerosol sampling can detect COVID-19 positive individuals in a real world lobby setting during very short occupancy periods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of rooftop exhaust aerosol, surface, and wastewater environmental surveillance in monitoring viral load in building occupants, both at the building scale and with ventilation zonelevel resolution for aerosols. We provide actionable data for researchers, health officials and building managers who seek to determine which monitoring method is best for their building or study. This study is relevant in the fields of epidemiology, exposure sciences, biomonitoring, virology, public health, and healthy building design and management.Item Open Access Fibre Optic Costs and Distance(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonItem Open Access Fiber Optic Costs: Practical Examples(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonItem Open Access Campus Network Challenges(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Smith, DaleItem Open Access Campus Network Rules(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Smith, DaleItem Open Access Edge Networks(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Smith, DaleItem Open Access Core Network Design(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Smith, DaleItem Open Access Switches, Servers and Firewalls(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Smith, DaleItem Open Access Science DMZ and Border Router(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonItem Open Access The OSI Model(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Candler, BrianItem Open Access Layer 1: Physical(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonItem Open Access Building Networks at Layer 1(Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon, 2021) Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Candler, Brian
