Daniel J. Epstein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering
University Calendar
A Daniel J. Epsein Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering EventThe USC Health Management & Policy Program is pleased to invite all USC students and faculty to the following executive presentation:KEITH WILSON, MD, FACOG, CHAIRMAN, PRESIDENT & CEO, TALBERT MEDICAL GROUPFRIDAY—OCTOBER 6TH, 10:00 A.M-NoonRalph & Goldy Lewis Hall (RGL) 219Prof. Thomas Collins has agreed to open this lecture in his class PPD608: Leadership Symposium in Health Management and Policy, the SPPD and university community. This class is designed to provide a forum for leading healthcare executives and policymakers to address ways in which they and their organizations seek to improve the healthcare financing and delivery system in the U.S. and internationally. The course faculty/executive will rotate from term to term, which will provide students with unparalleled access to public, private and non-profit sector leaders, including industry executives, financiers, purchasers, accrediting agencies, foundations, state and federal government policymakers. Discussion will center on initiatives that address contemporary problems of the healthcare system, and the attendant leadership challenges and complexities. The course will explore practical and policy pros and cons around an issue of major impact. Faculty/executive lectures will be complemented with advance readings and post-presentation discussion and debate. The course is intended to stimulate student thinking about leadership, effective organizations, and decision-making. Space is limited! Kindly RSVP to: shirose@sppd.usc.edu. SPEAKER BIO: Keith Wilson, MD serves as chairman, president and CEO of Talbert Medical Group, an independent, physician-owned primary care and multi-specialty medical practice of approximately 200 physicians based in Costa Mesa. A surgeon and diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Dr. Wilson has been with Talbert since 1996, having previously served as chief of obstetrics/gynecology and perinatal services at FHP Hospital in Fountain Valley. Dr. Wilson is affiliated with numerous hospitals and professional groups and in 2001 received the American College of Physician Executives/Modern Healthcare Physician Executive National Award of Excellence. He is a graduate of and did his internship at Howard University College of Medicine, and his residency at Martin Luther King/Drew Hospital. Dr. Wilson earned a BS in chemistry/chemical engineering from USC.

Total Maximum Daily Loads as a Tool for Environmental Regulation and Improvements in Water Quality
Fri, Oct 06, 2006 @ 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker:Dr. LB Nye
California Regional Water Quality Control Board
Los Angeles RegionAbstractThe calculation and implementation of Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) are an important tool for improving water quality in California. A TMDL is a calculation of the total amount of a pollutant which can be discharged to a waterbody without the waterbody exceeding water quality standards. In the development of a TMDL, that total amount will then be allocated to the various sources of the pollutant and other regulatory tools, such as wastewater discharge permits, will conform to those allocations. While the Clean Water Act (CWA) in 1972, required the development of TMDLs, that provision of the CWA was largely ignored by the USEPA and States until the 1990s when a series of legal actions focused new attention on the use of TMDLs. The Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Board), one of nine Regional Water Quality Boards of the State of California, has been developing and implementing TMDLs since 2001. TMDLs developed by the Regional Board have addressed metals, pesticides, chloride, pathogenic bacteria and nutrients among other contaminants. The development of TMDLs is both a technical and political process and is rarely straightforward. The Regional Board remains committed to the appropriate use of TMDLs as a tool to effect real improvement in water quality in the Los Angeles Region

MODELING OF MATERIALS AND CHEMISTRY AT EXTREME CONDITIONSDr. Sergey Zybin
California Institute of TechnologyFundamental physics and chemistry of materials behavior in extreme conditions are important for understanding material transformation and processes during shock materials synthesis, high-pressure phase transformations, femtosecond laser ablation, detonation, geophysical processes in the core of the Earth and other planets, and hypervelocity impacts of comets. Usually these conditions are created by a gigantic release of energy in the matter or by compression caused by the shock waves sent through the material. Processes of shock compression and detonation often take place at sub-picosecond and sub-nanometer time and length scales. Therefore, they are ideal for studying by molecular dynamics which can grasp at the atomic level the essentials of many non-equilibrium processes of material transformation and chemical reactions in condensed phase under extreme conditions.Date: Friday, October 6, 2006Time: 2:30pmLocation: SLH 102Refreshments will be providedFirst year MASC students are required to attend.Location: John Stauffer Science Lecture Hall (SLH) - 102
