November 12, 2025 Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has developed a method to automate the calibration of heavy-duty diesel truck emissions control systems using machine learning and algorithm-based optimization. The latest diesel aftertreatment systems often take weeks to calibrate. SwRI's new method can calibrate them in as little as two hours.
"Manually calibrating selectivecatalytic reduction (SCR) systems is labor-intensive, often taking six or more weeks of testing and work," said Venkata Chundru, senior research engineer in SwRI's Advanced Algorithms Section. "By combining advanced modeling with automated optimization, we can accelerate calibration and improve system performance while ensuring compliance with the upcoming standards."
New U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards are scheduled to go into effect in 2027, governing the amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) a vehicle can emit in proportion to energy used. SwRI has completed several projects that improve existing automotive technologies, bringing them to well within the new standards or exceeding them.
As a continuation of this work, SwRI's Powertrain Engineering Division has developed a method to automate calibration of SCR systems for diesel engines. Most SCR systems control engine emissions using an ammonia-based solution, such as the urea-based diesel exhaust fluid injected into the exhaust stream. The dosed exhaust interacts with a catalyst, creating a chemical reaction that converts NOx into harmless water and nitrogen.
The project team created a physics-informed neural network machine learning model that learns from both data and the laws of physics, providing faster and more accurate results. By running simulations of an active SCR system, the team could fine-tune its urea dosing control to lower overall NOx and ammonia emissions and rapidly identify optimal settings for the engines. The model could then learn to identify these settings and map the calibration processes, allowing for full automation.
"Compared to manual calibration, the method we developed consistently delivered faster calibration timelines and improved NOx conversion efficiency, among other benefits," Chundru said. "It provides us with a scalable, cost-effective pathway for future heavy-duty applications."
This project was funded through the Southwest Research Institute Internal Research and Development Program. In 2024, SwRI invested more than $11 million in tomorrow's technology to broaden its knowledge base, expand its reputation as a leader in science and technology and encourage its staff's professional development.

UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Opens Second Behavioral Health Walk-In Clinic
UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh, in collaboration with UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital, has opened a second pediatric behavioral health walk-in clinic where children and teens up to age 18 can be seen for a variety of behavioral health concerns.
UPMC Children's South Pediatric Behavioral Health Walk-In Clinic, on the first floor of Children's South, provides a safe and welcomingenvironment for children and teens with mental health concerns to receive expert care. UPMC Children's also operates a pediatric behavioral health walk-in clinic at the main hospital in Lawrenceville.
Therapists and psychologists are available for behavioral health assessments from 5 to 9 p.m., Monday to Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. Children and teens, accompanied by a parent or guardian, can walk in for same-day care without an appointment and receive a one-time intervention plus referrals to resources.
"Mental health challenges among children and adolescents are rising, and families often struggle to find timely access to care," said Abigail Schlesinger, M.D., clinical chief of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Integrated Care at UPMC Western and UPMC Children's. "This second walk-in clinic provides an immediate, compassionate point of access for kids who need support right away. Early intervention can make a lasting difference in a child's well-being, and our clinics ensure that help is available when it's needed most -- before a situation becomes a crisis."
"The opening of our new behavioral health walk-in clinic represents an important step forward in supporting the mental well-being of our community's children," said Diane Hupp, president, UPMC Children's Hospital. "We know that when a child is struggling, timely access to care can make all the difference. This clinic ensures that families have a safe, welcoming place to turn for immediate support -- no appointment needed. Our goal is to remove barriers, reduce stigma, and make it easier for young people to get the help they need, when they need it most."
In addition to the walk-in clinic, UPMC Children's provides comprehensive behavioral health support through several initiatives. Clinical evaluators are available in the hospital's Emergency Department to assist the medical team with assessments and resources for patients and families. Furthermore, behavioral science psychologists are integrated into both inpatient and outpatient settings at UPMC Children's, and a behavioral health nurse clinician offers specialized care for inpatients.
The clinic is supported by a gift from Elizabeth L. and John P. Surma.
The walk-in clinic does not serve as a substitute for Psychiatric Emergency Services (PES) and is not intended for children who may require hospitalization. Individuals experiencing an extreme mental health crisis can access care at PES in UPMC Western Psychiatric Hospital or at the nearest hospital emergency department. Crisis counselors and behavioral and mental health crisis services are available by calling 988 at any time.

NEW HAVEN, Connecticut, Nov. 11 (TNSrep) -- Save the Sound issued the following news release:
* * *
Save the Sound reports results from 2025 bacteria monitoring season in western Long Island Sound
Overall failure rates drop, but high bacteria counts persist despite another dry monitoring season
*
For the second straight year, overall failure rates dropped in Save the Sound's annual fecal indicator bacteria monitoring season. Of the 745 water samples collected by staff and volunteer community scientists from 66 locations from Greenwich, CT, through Westchester County and into Queens and NassauCounty, NY, 58% failed to meet the state-established single sample safe swimming criteria. That's an improvement of 2% from 2024 and 6% from 2023 but up 2% from 2021. The 12-year-old monitoring program hasn't seen a season where less than half the overall samples failed since 2017 (43%).
The 2025 season had the highest frequency of dry weather samples in the western Long Island Sound since 2022. Only 16.5% of the samples were taken under wet weather conditions--which occur when a half-inch or more of rain is recorded in the 72 hours prior to sampling--down from 2024 (26.4%) and 2023 (46.3%). The 622 dry samples were the most ever collected by Save the Sound in a single monitoring season.
Only 46% of those passed, up 2% from both 2023 and 2024.
"While a year-over-year improvement in the overall failure rate is encouraging, of course, it's important to recognize that more than half of the dry samples failed for the fifth time in six years," said Peter Linderoth, director of healthy waters and lands for Save the Sound. "Dry weather failures in urbanized areas have been shown to be associated with leaks in sanitary sewer infrastructure."
Dry weather samples tend to pass at a higher rate than wet weather samples. In wet weather, runoff flushes pollution off the landscape and into waterways, and occasionally can trigger a larger volume of untreated sewage being released instead of making its way to a sewage treatment plant.
That the 2025 season saw only a marginal improvement in overall failure rate can be attributed to a double-digit increase in wet weather fails. The failure rate (82%) was 11% higher than 2024 and is the highest in the program's history. While fewer wet samples were collected, they tended to have high hits for fecal contamination.
Rivers remained the most polluted type of site sampled, failing 73% of the time. Samples collected at embayments failed 43% of the time, and those collected along the shoreline failed only 16%.
"Sewer lines are engineered to run from higher-elevation locations to lower ones wherever possible, using gravity to move wastewater to treatment plants. These pipes often run alongside or close to the rivers and streams that run through backyards, along school properties, and past playing fields across our communities," said Linderoth. "These rivers at times carry dangerously high levels of pathogens from fecal contamination that have the potential to make people sick when they interact with those waterways."
Only three locations went the entire 2025 monitoring season without a failing sample: Glen Island Park (New Rochelle, NY), Greenwich Cove (Greenwich, CT), and Indian Harbor Yacht Club (Greenwich, CT).
Thirteen sites, though, had all of their samples fail in 2025: Parsons Beach @ 233rd Street (Queens, NY), Mamaroneck Harbor East Basin (Mamaroneck Village, NY), Udalls Mill Pond (Saddle Rock, NY), Byram River @ Comley Avenue (Greenwich, CT), Beaver Swamp Brook @ Rye Neck High School (Mamaroneck Village, NY), Beaver Swamp Brook @ Greenwood Union Cemetery (Harrison, NY), Tributary to Beaver Swamp Brook (Harrison, NY), Glover Field (Mount Vernon, NY), Hutchinson River @ Migui Park (Mount Vernon, NY), Outfall @ Farrell and Beechwood (Mount Vernon, NY), Mamaroneck River @ Saxon Woods Park (Mamaroneck Town, NY), Mamaroneck River @ Saxon Woods Road (White Plains, NY), and Sheldrake River @ Columbus Park (Mamaroneck Village, NY).
Water samples from all locations are collected by Save the Sound full-time and seasonal staff and volunteer community scientists, trained by Save the Sound, once a week over the 12-week monitoring season. Those samples are delivered to the John and Daria Barry Foundation Water Quality Laboratory in Save the Sound's Larchmont office, where our staff analyze them for the presence of fecal indicator bacteria: Enterococcus in marine water, E. coli in freshwater. Full results (https://www.savethesound.org/what-we-do/healthy-waters/water-monitoring-fecal-bacteria/2025-bacteria-monitoring-data/) from the 2025 monitoring season and all previous seasons are available at SaveTheSound.org.
"I want to thank our seasonal staff, as well as the 16 community scientists who volunteered their time to work with us this season," said Linderoth. "Thanks to their commitment and hard work, we were able to consistently conduct sampling at 66 locations."
Volunteers interested in participating in the 2026 bacteria monitoring season should send an email to pollution@savethesound.org.

Lawmakers Should Ensure Tax Parity for Health Sharing Ministries
By Isabelle Morales
As conversations about the rising cost of healthcare ramp up, there is increasing demand for more cost-effective options, freedom of choice in care, and cost transparency. As families make these deeply personal choices for themselves, lawmakers should ensure access to all options, including access to health sharing ministries.
Health sharing ministries are faith-based non-profit organizations that allow members to opt outof traditional insurance and, instead, pool their resources with like-minded individuals to cover health expenses. Roughly 1.7 million Americans are now involved in health-sharing arrangements.
Health sharing brings transparency and market pressure to the healthcare market. Health share ministries negotiate medical bills directly and encourages their members to do so as well. Today, medical billing is completely opaque and involves a labyrinth of intermediaries. Under the health sharing model, members can see exactly what they're paying for and how much of their contribution goes towards actual medical needs (as opposed to massive administrative costs). Health share ministries, like Solidarity HealthShare and Christian Healthcare Ministries, note that their methods consistently deliver 60% to 70% in savings. Notably, the only way to effectively force medical costs down is to introduce free market pressures.
Health sharing ministries bring much-needed freedom of choice to the healthcare market. After the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was passed, tens of millions of Americans were ripped from both insurance plans they liked and from doctors they trusted. For those consumers who feel constrained by the extensive mandates and bureaucracy now enshrined in the healthcare system, health sharing restores autonomy.
Memberships are significantly less expensive than most insurance options. Monthly rates for a single person, for example, can be as low as $80 and average around $150 - for families, membership can average around $500 a month.
Health sharing aligns healthcare spending with moral convictions. The current insurance system forces people to indirectly fund abortions and gender reassignment surgeries, violating the conscience of millions of Americans.
Unfortunately, lawmakers and bureaucrats attempting to maintain the status quo of one-size-fits-all insurance systems have continuously waged attacks on these religious organizations. To protect this option for Americans, lawmakers should ensure their viability through tax parity with traditional insurance and their own health-sharing-specific non-profit status.
These reforms can and should include 1) allowing families to deduct the cost of membership from their annual tax bill, as Sen. Ted Budd's (R-N.C.) Health Care Sharing Ministry Tax Parity Act would do; 2) allowing employers to deduct the cost of covering their employees under said membership; 3) enabling consumers to use health savings accounts (HSAs) in conjunction with their health sharing plan; and 4) creating a new subsection of the Internal Revenue Code, an amendment to Sec. 501, designating health sharing ministries as a distinct category of tax-exempt organization.
These reforms would ensure that health share ministries remain a viable choice for those looking to escape the current insurance paradigm, lower their costs, have autonomy over their care, and align their spending with their moral convictions.

1500+ Voices From All 50 States Heard: Senate Advances Deal to End Devastating 40-Day Government Shutdown
On the 40th day of the federal government shutdown, a bipartisan deal to reopen the government is finally within reach. Last night, the Senate voted 60-40 to advance a clean continuing resolution to reopen and fund the government through January 30 and beyond, offering long-awaited relief to millions of Americans.
Throughoutthe shutdown, Independent Women has amplified the voices of the parents, veterans, workers, and taxpayers suffering from Washington's political stalemate through its "Gridlock Hurts Real People: Tell Senate Democrats to End the Shutdown" comment drive, launched on October 9. Over 1500 stories from Americans across all 50 states have been submitted to Independent Women's comment drive, exposing the devastating fallout from the government shutdown.
Patrice Onwuka, director of Independent Women's Center for Economic Opportunity, said:
"After 40 days, the shutdown pain is finally close to an end. We applaud the small group of sensible Democrats who broke ranks and joined Republicans in reopening the government, just in time for the Thanksgiving holiday. Bipartisanship is restoring food aid for 42 million Americans and sending hundreds of thousands of federal workers back to work. The hardship of Americans should never again be used as 'leverage' for partisan ends. We encourage all members to pass the final bill."
Meaghan Mobbs, director of Independent Women's Center for American Safety and Security, said:
"After weeks of uncertainty, we are finally close to ensuring our veterans and service members are no longer caught in the crossfire of political brinkmanship. We commend the small group of Democratic members who chose to put the country over caucus and join with Republicans to open the government. Bipartisan cooperation is what keeps VA clinics open, benefits processing on track, and military families supported. It ensures service members who swear to protect and defend our homeland are not left wondering if their loved ones will be cared for. The well-being of those who wear the uniform, and those who once did, should never be used as pawns in political games. We urge all members to finish the job and honor the service of those who keep this country safe by ensuring their government is worthy of them."
Gabriella Hoffman, director of Independent Women's Center for Energy and Conservation, said:
"Independent Women's Center for Energy and Conservation applauds sensible Senate Democrats for joining Republicans to end the government shutdown. With this bipartisan spirit in mind, it's our hope the chamber also comes together on permitting reform and forest management currently sitting on the docket. The U.S. urgently needs new energy and mining projects reviewed and approved to meet rising electricity demand, grow our economy, protect our national security interests, and safeguard the environment. With this in mind, we urge all members to set aside differences and pass the final bill. Continued delays will hinder our energy abundance goals."
Julie Gunlock, director of Independent Women's Network, said:
"This shutdown was completely unnecessary and a painful reminder that disorder in Washington impacts every American. Independent Women's Network members worked tirelessly to send a powerful message to Senate Democrats who delayed an agreement for political gain and allowed the suffering of the American public to go on. We demand Senate Democrats do the right thing and pass the final bill."

Americans United urges Supreme Court to protect the religious freedom of incarcerated people
Americans United for Separation of Church and State President and CEO Rachel Laser issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court hearing oral argument today in Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections. The federal lawsuit was brought by Damon Landor, a devout Rastafarian whose knee-length dreadlocks were wrongly shaved off by prison officials. Landoris seeking monetary damages against the prison officers who violated his religious freedom as guaranteed by the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA).
Federal law protects the religious freedom of incarcerated people
"True religious freedom means that all Americans must be free to live as themselves and believe as they choose, as long as they do not harm others. Damon Landor's religious beliefs clearly posed no threats to prison officials or other incarcerated people.
"Federal law protects the religious freedom of incarcerated people, who are particularly vulnerable to abuse and having unnecessary burdens placed on their religious exercise. We urge the Supreme Court to rule that Landor and other incarcerated people must have the ability to sue and seek monetary damages for religious freedom violations - often the only way to vindicate their rights and deter future violations."
Support across political spectrum for religious freedom of incarcerated people
The federal government and advocates from across the political spectrum weighed in through amicus briefs to show broad consensus that imprisoned people must be able to vindicate their right to exercise religion. Americans United, joined by five religious and civil rights organizations, filed an amicus brief in September 2025 in support of Landor. The brief argued the ability to sue for individual damages is critical for imprisoned people seeking to defend their religious freedom, and that RLUIPA itself protects against abuses of this remedy. Americans United was joined by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Global Justice Institute: Metropolitan Community Churches, Interfaith Alliance, People For the American Way and Sadhana: Coalition of Progressive Hindus.
The brief was authored by AU Litigation Counsel Alexandra Zaretsky and AU Associate Vice President and Associate Legal Director Alex J. Luchenitser.

AHRC Wishes All a Safe and Peaceful Veterans Day, Advocates for Veteran Support and Dignity:
The American Human Rights Council (AHRC-USA) joins the nation in observing Veterans Day, commemorated annually on November 11. Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day, marking the end of World War I. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower officially renamed it Veterans Day to honor all who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
This year's Veterans Day arrives during a time of significant challengeson many fronts, including the ongoing struggle to sustain and enhance critical support for our veterans. It follows the reopening of the federal government, ending one of the longest shutdowns in our nation's history -- a disruption that impacted millions of Americans, including veterans.
Veterans Day serves as a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made daily by America's men and women in uniform, and the enduring debt our country owes them. It is a special occasion to honor those who gave themselves selflessly for the nation's freedom and security.
American veterans continue to face difficulties transitioning to civilian life. We must honor them not only in words, but through meaningful action. Many veterans still confront serious challenges that demand our nation's attention and commitment.
AHRC salutes all the veterans and their families. The nation deeply appreciates their sacrifices, even as too many veterans continue to experience unmet needs during their transition from military service to civilian life.
"Our veterans deserve better from our nation," said Imad Hamad, AHRC Executive Director. "Veterans are the collective responsibility of the country," added Hamad.
