Predictive-integral current controller for active-and reactive-powercontrol of wind generators
Authors: Pedro Roncero-S´anchez  , Vicente Feliu  , Aurelio Garc´ıa-Cerrada
Published: July 2017

This paper deals with the design of a predictive-integral current controller for wind generators connected to the grid. The goal is to achieve a decoupled control of d- and q-axes current components at the connection point, which results in a decoupled control of the active and the reactive power exchanged between the generator and the grid. Furthermore, the control system is designed in order to achieve a deadbeat closed-loop system. The robustness of the closed-loop dynamic response and the active and reactive-power coupling when system-modelling errors exist are studied. Simulation and experimental results will be presented to validate the main contributions of this work.

Published: July 2017

This paper addresses the results obtained from the first and second power quality permanent monitoring systems, implemented in the points of common coupling, between Transmission Operator and Supply Operator, Transmission Operator and Eligible Customers. Monthly statistic reports from these systems are received at the National Dispatch center and are included in the reports towards Romanian Electricity Regulatory Authority. The information gathered from these systems help to develop the Romanian PQ regulation, to verify the contractual requirements, to report the indices for network performance and to identify the solutions for network optimization, technical energy losses reduction and customer satisfaction.
Experimental study of a PEM reversible fuel cell
Authors: S. Rabih  , O. RALLIERES  , C. TURPIN  , S. ASTIER  , S. ASTIER
Published: July 2017

A Reversible (or Unitized) Fuel Cell is an electrochemical component which is able to operate by conception in two modes: in fuel cell mode (= production of electricity and heat starting from hydrogen and oxygen) as well as in electrolyser mode (production of hydrogen and oxygen starting from electricity and even from heat in certain cases).
Firstly, we present the operation principle and technological elements of a PEM RFC. Secondly, we study the quasi-steady behaviour of a PEM RFC through voltage-current curves. Thirdly, the dynamical behaviour is analyzed.
Multichannel online quality and efficiency power network diagnostic according to IEC standards
Authors: Richárd Bátorfi
Published: July 2017

Today and in the future electrical energy is a significant energy source in all area of life therefore its quality and consumption has more and more importance in practical and also scientific means. The small- and medium-sized enterprises very often do not take care about its quality as they do not understand and realise that their electricity bill also depends on the quality of the energy. IEC Standards describe how to measure the quality of electrical energy and determines the acceptable levels of quality parameters. Using today’s advanced computers a more useful measurement system can be created according to IEC standards than other acquirable analysing devices.
A simple neural network solar tracker for optimizing conversion efficiency in off-grid solar generators
Authors: M.A. Panait  , T. Tudorache
Published: July 2017

A new model of neural network and a new type of neural controller are proposed, aiming to reduce cost and complexity without sacrificing efficiency of traditional, more complex neural net-based solar trackers.
The solution is derived from Mark Tilden’s neural and nervous networks, using a biologic analogy to seamlessly integrate sensors, artificial neurons and effectors in a single, efficient device.
Testing is in progress at the time of the elaboration of this paper but available and relevant preliminary results are shown. The project aims to develop a small pilot tracker – based solar plant for testing purposes and to develop a useable technology for the ever-growing demand for green power.

Multi-level representation for the control design of a super capacitor storage system for a microgrid connected application
Authors: P. LI  , Ph. Degobert  , B. François  , B. Robyns
Published: July 2017

In this paper an average multi-level representation of power electronic converters is used to design a dynamic model of a Super Capacitor Bank for a microgrid application. A dedicated multi-level modeling is designed to quantify energy variations in storage elements (super capacitors, DC bus) and various losses. We demonstrate that this model is sufficient to design the control system of the entire power storage system, meanwhile the super capacitors, the chopper and the grid connected converter. The proposed global model is simulated with the help of Matlab-SimulinkTM by considering two units of 48V 144F super capacitor modules.
Un poeta al margen de generación: itinerario poético de Joan Margarit
Authors: Sánchez García Remedios , Lanseros Sánchez Raquel
Published: July 2017

El presente artículo estudia tanto la construcción biográfica como el itinerario poético de Joan Margarit. Partiendo de la producción literaria de sus comienzos, se analiza la influencia decisiva de su oficio de arquitecto en su obra creativa. Asimismo, se observa la importancia de escribir en dos lenguas para su desarrollo y recepción por parte de la crítica literaria en el ámbito nacional. Esta circunstancia propició que fuese conocido antes en el ámbito de la lengua catalana que en el de la lengua española y, por tanto, no figure en las antologías colectivas de los años sesenta y setenta junto con los poetas nacidos en su misma época. De este modo, la poesía de Margarit se ha desarrollado trazando un itinerario personal, no adscrito a ninguna estética de grupo, lo que hace difícil encuadrarlo en ninguna generación poética y dota a su recorrido de plena singularidad.

Published: July 2017

Generally, go public companies are belong to large-scale companies or even international ones. Mostly those companies have more than one business divisions, therefore the financial reports might be published in more than one segments. According to Financial Accounting Standard 5, the company financial reports can be distinguished between geographical segments and operating segments. This study aims to give the empirical evidence about the influence of the business diversification towards earnings management. The amount of the geography segments and the operating segments are used as proxy to represent the business diversification. The earnings management is measured by conditional revenue model. The data is collected from the company annual reports by accessing through Indonesia Stock Exchange website for period 2011-2013. The sampling method used is purposive sampling. Data analysis used multiple linear regressions. The result of the study shows that the geography segments have no influence on the earnings management, meanwhile the operating segments have positive influence on earnings management.
INFLUENCE OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS ON THE FABRICATION OF SILVER NANOPARTICLES USING PETREA VOLUBILIS L. STEM BROTH AND ITS ANTI-MICROBIAL EFFICACY
Authors: Hulkoti N. I. , Taranath T. C.
Published: July 2017

In this study we describe the phytofabrication of AgNps through a green route as a cost-effective, instantaneous and an eco-friendly approach using Petrea volubilis L. stem broth. The influence of physico-chemical parameters - contact time, stem broth quantity, pH, temperature, and silver nitrate concentration were studied and optimised to engineer, nanoparticles of diverse sizes. Nanoparticles were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, Zeta potential, EDS, and HRTEM. The characterization using HRTEM showed that, the nanoparticles were spherical and with increase in contact time, stem broth quantity, pH, and temperature, the NPs size minimised whereas escalation in silver nitrate concentration, increased their size. Capping molecules were negatively charged and the NPs were passably stable according to zeta potential readings and they were crystalline as per XRD data. According to FTIR analysis, the bio reduction was attributed to alcohol, ethers, carboxylic acids, and esters. The highest anti-bacterial activity was observed against S. aureus and S. typhi whose ZOI diameter was 13 mm at 100μl in both bacteria. The highest anti-fungal activity of silver nanoparticles was observed against A. flavus whose ZOI diameter was 9 mm at 100μl compared to P. chrysogenum which is 3 mm at 100μl. The stem broth did not show any anti-microbial activity for the microbes. Anti-microbial activity of AgNPs is due to its small size and high surface area. Our findings clearly discloses that sizes of silver nanoparticles can be varied by varying the physico-chemical parameters and the small sized nanoparticles so formed are promising antimicrobial agents and has a great potential in various medical applications.
ACUTE TOXICITY STUDIES OF PETROLEUM ETHER, METHANOL AND AQUEOUS EXTRACTS OF NIGELLA SATIVA
Authors: Girish C. , Reddy Y. Narsimha
Published: July 2017

The purpose of the study was to test the acute oral toxicity of the different extracts of the plant Nigella sativa. Acute toxicity of petroleum ether, methanol and aqueous extracts of Nigella sativa was evaluated in Swiss mice. The acute toxicity studies were carried out based on OECD guidelines 423. The animals were administered orally with a single dose of 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 2000 mg/kg body weight of each extract. Signs of toxicity and mortality were noted after 1, 4 and 24 h of administration of the extract for about 14 days. The highest dose administered (2000 mg/kg body weight) do not produce mortality or changes in general behaviour of the test animals. These results indicate the safety of the oral administration of petroleum ether, methanol and aqueous extracts of Nigella sativa.

Floral evolution and phylogeny of the Dialioideae, a diverse subfamily of tropical legumes
Authors: Zimmerman Erin , Herendeen Patrick S. , Lewis Gwilym P. , Bruneau Anne
Published: July 2017

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:

The Dialioideae is an early diverging clade of caesalpinioid legumes containing approximately 85 species in 17 genera. Dialioideae floral morphology is highly variable and may provide clues to caesalpinioid evolution, but a well‐resolved phylogeny is needed. Here, we have carried out a comprehensive morphological study of 78 Dialioideae and four outgroup species.

METHODS:

For all available Dialioideae DNA samples, the plastid rpS16 and trnL introns were sequenced. A combined phylogenetic analysis using the parsimony criterion was completed on a reduced taxon set for which both molecular and morphological data were available. Highly supported clades from the strict consensus tree of this analysis were then used to constrain the nodes of a second analysis on an expanded taxon set with missing molecular data for some taxa.

KEY RESULTS:

Several new, highly supported relationships have been discovered at the species and genus levels. The loss of the antepetalous stamen whorl was found to be a synapomorphy for most of the clade.

CONCLUSIONS:

A high degree of organ loss is common in the Dialioideae and often results in a bilaterally symmetrical flower. The absence of consistent morphological features in the Dialioideae, coupled with the small size of each florally diagnosed genus, suggests a lack of canalization in the floral evolution in early diverging legume lineages.

Les grandes guerres du XXe siècle dans No pasarán le jeu de Christian Lehmann : écrire et réécrire l’histoire pour les adolescents, du roman à la bande dessinée
Authors: Hamaide-Jager Eléonore
Published: July 2017

En utilisant les jeux vidéos comme entrée dans l'histoire des grands conflits du XXe siècle, la trilogie de Lehmann No pasaran, le jeu, Andreas le retour et No pasaran, endgame séduit d'emblée le public adolescent par son côté immersif. Le registre fantastique permet aux personnages d'être à la fois ancrés dans leur époque et d'expérimenter dans leur chair la violence, la responsabilité et les doutes inhérents aux prises de décision décisives qui font basculer le devenir de l'humanité, avec une connaissance précise des événements du passé que n'ont pas d'ordinaire les protagonistes. Ainsi, la trilogie dépasse les caractéristiques scripturales du roman historique pour la jeunesse en confrontant de manière directe les personnages à l'Histoire et à ses répercussions dans leur actualité qui est aussi celle du lecteur. L'adaptation en bande dessinée tient davantage de la réécriture, par des effets de condensation et de réorganisation interne, qui complexifient la réception. Elle autorise une narration en images du ressenti des personnages, bien plus apte à rendre compte d'un état de sidération face aux événements, là où le roman utilise davantage les armes de l'argumentation et de la prise de recul. Certes ni l'un ni l'autre ne semblent suffisants à la transmission factuelle des guerres qui ont façonné la géopolitique du XXIe siècle. Ils sont en revanche en mesure de rendre proche des individus qu'ils réinscrivent dans une histoire familiale, sociale et politique et de confronter les lecteurs aux choix des personnages dans des fictions à double niveau pour, in fine, les faire adhérer à des valeurs humanistes et les inciter à des prises de conscience citoyenne.
Historia infantilizada en películas biográficas de animación : Bolívar, el Héroe y Eva de la Argentina
Authors: Tal Tzvi
Published: July 2017

Les biographies de Simón Bolívar et d’Eva Perón réalisées en dessins animées adaptent le passé aux limites idéologiques et politiques des discours du présent. Parallèlement, ces films suppriment tout ce qui n'est pas considéré approprié pour le jeune public. Bolivar, el héroe récupère l'image du héros prédestiné, tandis qu’Eva de la Argentina montre une héroïne en tant que produit de l’expérience sociale. Le film colombien ne parvient pas à impressionner les spectateurs car il imite l'esthétique de l'anime japonais. Il est peu attrayant et démobilisateur, les femmes y sont dépeintes comme des objets sexuels. Le film argentin, en revanche, présente une biographie qui valorise le passage de l'innocence au militantisme, en évitant certains aspects qui pourraient être associés au discours libéral-oligarchique, et en représentant la femme protagoniste avec respect, en tant que sujet historique.
Le théâtre historique pour la jeunesse sous la Restauration et la monarchie de Juillet : propagande royale ou éducation politique ?
Authors: Amélie Calderone
Published: July 2017

Le début du XIXe siècle est doublement marqué par la croissance exponentielle du théâtre et la vogue des sujets historiques. Le public enfantin n’est pas délaissé : les pièces dites « historiques », jouées ou imprimées, sont nombreuses. Ces fictions dramatiques historiques devaient-elles inculquer l’histoire et aller de pair avec une discipline de plus en plus enseignée ? Comment écrivaient-elles les grands événements collectifs et les violences du passé ? L’histoire valait-elle pour elle-même, ou n’était-elle que l’instrument d’ambitions plus vastes – divertir, endoctriner, moraliser, former ? L’étude d’un corpus de huit pièces datant de la Restauration et de la monarchie de Juillet permet de proposer quelques réponses. Il ne s’agirait pas tant d’écrire l’histoire que de mobiliser une culture commune bourgeoise, à travers la réalisation d’une galerie de personnages célèbres fondant l’identité française. Au-delà, les ambitions idéologiques de ces pièces sont perceptibles : si elles transmettent, au début de la Restauration, l’amour de la royauté aux jeunes spectateurs, elles fournissent également des modèles moraux devant perpétuer la stabilité politique. Surtout, elles se font plus critiques à la fin du règne de Charles X : sont alors propagées des valeurs libérales et républicaines, destinées à former de futurs citoyens qui seront un jour appelés à jouer par le vote un rôle politique dans leur pays.
Du roman à la propagande. La Grande Guerre dans la littérature de jeunesse italienne de l’entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Colin Mariella
Published: July 2017

La manière dont la Grande Guerre a été racontée à l’enfance italienne dans l’entre-deux-guerres a connu une évolution en étroite corrélation avec le contexte historique. Dans l’immédiat après-guerre, elle véhicule un sentiment de deuil et de souffrance à l’image de l’expérience vécue par la population ; un roman qui raconte la guerre « au féminin » illustre parfaitement ce phénomène : La zingarella e la principessina (1920) d’Olga Visentini, qui tranche par son originalité avec les autres « romans de la guerre » de la même période. Après l’arrivée du fascisme au pouvoir (1922), la mémoire de la guerre laisse place d’abord à une glorification du conflit ; il s’agit alors d’exalter l’amour patriotique et les sacrifices héroïques des combattants, tout en insérant les combats dans une trame romanesque qui lui ôte sa dimension tragique. Un livre pour la jeunesse en sera le meilleur reflet : avec Piccolo Alpino (1926), Salvator Gotta donne une version nationaliste et guerrière du roman d’aventures, en faisant participer à la guerre un garçon de dix ans dans un scénario bien bâti.
L’écriture cartographique de l’histoire en littérature de jeunesse
Authors: Messing Sabrina
Published: July 2017

Comme toute littérature, la littérature de jeunesse a une forte dimension géographique, incarnée notamment dans les nombreuses cartes qu'elle propose. Cartes topographiques ou illustrées apportent certes des informations géographiques, mais également historiques, à la fois dans les éléments textuels (l'inscription de dates par exemple) et dans les illustrations (portraits de personnages historiques entre autres). En établissant une spatialisation de l'histoire, la littérature de jeunesse contribue à une écriture de l'histoire. Il convient dès lors d'en interroger les permanences et évolutions dans le dispositif cartographique en lien avec le texte fictionnel
La littérature de la Caraïbe pour la jeunesse : des histoires à part ou l’histoire à part entière ?
Authors: Bonnet Véronique
Published: July 2017

La littérature de jeunesse produite par des écrivains nés dans la Caraïbe est foisonnante. Elle demeure cependant moins connue que les récits franco-algériens et moins étudiée par les spécialistes. À l’instar de toute la production littéraire antillaise, elle accorde une place considérable à l’écriture de l’histoire : qu’il s’agisse de la mémoire de l’esclavage ou de l’histoire immédiate (faits divers, conflits, récits d’immigration). Le jeune sujet fait face à cette histoire dont il est témoin majeur et dont la traversée se révèle garante de sa formation et de son inscription dans le monde. L’analyse des textes pour la jeunesse de trois écrivains importants : Maryse Condé, Gisèle Pineau et Dany Laferrière permet de montrer comment des pans historiques non consignés, peu ou mal connus, trouvent leur juste lieu dans la littérature francophone et deviennent ainsi objets de questionnement et de savoir. Maryse Condé considère l’histoire comme un rébus politique susceptible d’être déchiffré selon un angle militant. Ses protagonistes questionnent, d’une façon éthico-politique, ses conflits récents, ses sinuosités, et apprennent ce que taisent les manuels scolaires. Les récits de Gisèle Pineau relèvent de « l’endofiction » : l’histoire de l’immigration antillaise en France, vécue par l’auteure, y est narrée avec ses déchirements, ses ambiguïtés et son horizon de réconciliation : l’espace caraïbe et le maintien de la mémoire insulaire. Les textes que Dany Laferrière dédie à la jeunesse englobent une partie de son œuvre antérieure qu’ils réécrivent et prolongent. Ils participent d’une mythologie personnelle qui situe Haïti et lui-même au centre de l’histoire : celle d’un exil politique et d’incessants retours littéraires vers l’île natale. Les récits des trois auteurs proposent in fine une mise en relation : le (jeune) lecteur acquiert sa propre place dans l’histoire par le partage des savoirs.
Réécrire l'Histoire pour les enfants du point de vue des Amérindiens : devoir de mémoire, devoir d'imagination (Brésil, États-Unis)
Authors: Franchini Pauline
Published: July 2017

Dans le roman historique pour la jeunesse, l'Histoire est souvent le prétexte, la toile de fond dépaysante devant laquelle se déroule un récit d'aventures. Il ne pourrait en être ainsi dans les romans historiques qui traitent des périodes coloniales et pré-coloniales, a fortiori écrits par des auteurs amérindiens ou afro-descendants concernés par les problématiques postcoloniales : dans ces romans, l'interprétation des événements historiques en fonction du point de vue depuis lesquels ils sont racontés – celui des vaincus de l'Histoire – y est l'enjeu central. En particulier, les fictions qui mettent en scène la « rencontre », imminente ou récente, entre l'Européen et les peuples premiers américains, à travers l'expérience de ces derniers, décentrent le regard de l'enfant vers le hors-champ de l'Histoire et proposent des alternatives à la version officielle. Le pouvoir d'identification aux héros, qui caractérise le roman pour la jeunesse, prend ici une dimension politique, dans la mesure où, rendu étranger à lui-même, le jeune lecteur fait l'expérience de l'altérité, de la relativité des valeurs et des injustices de l'Histoire. La fiction est alors, paradoxalement, le moyen d'accéder à une vérité occultée par l'Histoire officielle, et de dénoncer cette Histoire – et ses silences – comme une fiction, que l'on songe au mythe de la « découverte », à la glorification des pionniers et aux stéréotypes véhiculés sur les amérindiens. Edwidge Danticat et Louise Erdrich aux États-Unis, Daniel Munduruku et Joel Rufino dos Santos au Brésil, font partie de ces auteurs qui mettent leur plume au service de ce devoir de mémoire, qui est en même temps un devoir d'imagination.
La naissance d’une littérature prolétarienne pour enfants en Espagne
Authors: Lapeyre Karine
Published: July 2017

Cet article montre comment les valeurs transmises aux enfants ont évolué en Espagne de 1931 à 1939. A travers l’école et les loisirs, l’Etat ou les partis ont cherché à créer des enfants républicains puis antifascistes en leur présentant une certaine vision de l’histoire ou des histoires destinées à orienter leur jugement. L’analyse des thèmes et des termes employés témoigne de cette évolution. Les premiers textes venus d’Allemagne ou de Russie laissent bientôt la place à des textes écrits par des auteurs espagnols qui intègrent un discours politisé où se mêlent fiction et réalité.

À partir des sources narratives et didactiques arabes, cet article met en exergue l’engouement aussi bien des militaires, des lettrés que des oulémas pour le cheval arabe à l’époque mamelouke (xiiie et xive siècles). L’analyse du corpus utilisé montre que l’intérêt pour le destrier de la péninsule Arabique fut multiple. Ses qualités physiques en faisaient la monture idéale pour certaines opérations militaires. Des hommes de sciences l’étudièrent et explorèrent son univers tandis que les lettrés et les oulémas s’intéressaient tout particulièrement à sa place dans la tradition islamique. Le cheval arabe était considéré comme le véritable symbole du jihad et l’instrument par excellence des conquêtes arabo‑musulmanes du viie siècle. Il constitua à certains égards un substrat de l’idéologie du guerrier du début de l’époque mamelouke.

Brief exposure of skin to near-infrared (NIR) laser light has been shown to augment the immune response to intradermal vaccination and thus act as an immunologic adjuvant. Although evidence indicates that the NIR laser adjuvant has the capacity to activate innate subsets including dendritic cells (DCs) in skin as conventional adjuvants do, the precise immunological mechanism by which the NIR laser adjuvant acts is largely unknown. In this study we sought to identify the cellular target of the NIR laser adjuvant by using an established mouse model of intradermal influenza vaccination and examining the alteration of responses resulting from genetic ablation of specific DC populations. We found that a continuous wave (CW) NIR laser adjuvant broadly modulates migratory DC (migDC) populations, specifically increasing and activating the Lang+ and CD11b−Lang− subsets in skin, and that the Ab responses augmented by the CW NIR laser are dependent on DC subsets expressing CCR2 and Langerin. In comparison, a pulsed wave NIR laser adjuvant showed limited effects on the migDC subsets. Our vaccination study demonstrated that the efficacy of the CW NIR laser is significantly better than that of the pulsed wave laser, indicating that the CW NIR laser offers a desirable immunostimulatory microenvironment for migDCs. These results demonstrate the unique ability of the NIR laser adjuvant to selectively target specific migDC populations in skin depending on its parameters, and highlight the importance of optimization of laser parameters for desirable immune protection induced by an NIR laser–adjuvanted vaccine.

Activation of the immune system needs to be tightly regulated to provide protection against infections and, at the same time, to prevent excessive inflammation to limit collateral damage to the host. This tight regulation includes regulating the activation of TLRs, which are key players in the recognition of invading microbes. A group of short cationic antimicrobial peptides, called cathelicidins, have previously been shown to modulate TLR activation by synthetic or purified TLR ligands and may play an important role in the regulation of inflammation during infections. However, little is known about how these cathelicidins affect TLR activation in the context of complete and viable bacteria. In this article, we show that chicken cathelicidin-2 kills Escherichia coli in an immunogenically silent fashion. Our results show that chicken cathelicidin-2 kills E. coli by permeabilizing the bacterial inner membrane and subsequently binds the outer membrane–derived lipoproteins and LPS to inhibit TLR2 and TLR4 activation, respectively. In addition, other cathelicidins, including human, mouse, pig, and dog cathelicidins, which lack antimicrobial activity under cell culture conditions, only inhibit macrophage activation by nonviable E. coli. In total, this study shows that cathelicidins do not affect immune activation by viable bacteria and only inhibit inflammation when bacterial viability is lost. Therefore, cathelicidins provide a novel mechanism by which the immune system can discriminate between viable and nonviable Gram-negative bacteria to tune the immune response, thereby limiting collateral damage to the host and the risk for sepsis.

Ocular infection with HSV causes a chronic T cell–mediated inflammatory lesion in the cornea. Lesion severity is affected by the balance of different CD4 T cell subsets, with greater severity occurring when the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) is compromised. In this study, fate-mapping mice were used to assess the stability of Treg function in ocular lesions. We show that cells that were once Foxp3+ functional Tregs may lose Foxp3 and become Th1 cells that could contribute to lesion expression. The instability primarily occurred with IL-2Rlo Tregs and was shown, in part, to be the consequence of exposure to IL-12. Lastly, in vitro–generated induced Tregs (iTregs) were shown to be highly plastic and capable of inducing stromal keratitis when adoptively transferred into Rag1−/− mice, with 95% of iTregs converting into ex-Tregs in the cornea. This plasticity of iTregs could be prevented when they were generated in the presence of vitamin C and retinoic acid. Importantly, adoptive transfer of these stabilized iTregs to HSV-1–infected mice prevented the development of stromal keratitis lesions more effectively than did control iTregs. Our results demonstrate that CD25lo Treg and iTreg instability occurs during a viral immunoinflammatory lesion and that its control may help to avoid lesion chronicity.
Increasing Brain Power beyond Imagination-Aligning Neuroscience and Social Psychology to Aid Prevention

Brain science and cognitive psychology are in high demand amongst professions such as social psychology, education and science. Advancing the capabilities of the human brain in terms of power to benefit society and improve people’s lives has become a topic of increasing value and interest to social psychologists. This research, limited to a literature review and a number of face to face interviews with psychology students to add some contemporary perspectives, investigated how increases in brain power could be achieved and what the potential benefits could be to social psychologists. Results suggest that short term brain power increases can be achieved through the application of low risk neurocognitive approaches such as brain training and by consuming natural brain foods and nutritional brain drugs. Infra-red laser stimulation of certain parts of the human brain not only increases cognitive brain power permanently but has the potential to reduce or eliminate brain diseases such as dementia and autism. Caution should be exercised to maintain the humanity element of what makes people human prior to engaging in long term brain power increase activities.

Published: July 2017

The application of divergent local practices in a shared bibliographic database can result in unexpected display issues that adversely affect user experience. This is especially problematic when merging databases from multiple institutions accustomed to adopting local practices for their own constituents. The authors describe their experience with the application of automation tools, such as MarcEdit, Excel, and Python, during a large-scale remediation project. They used these tools to analyze, compare, and batch process bibliographic records to remediate obsolete and redundant series data in their shared bibliographic database.
Notes on Operations: GMD or No GMD: RDA Implementation for a Consortial Catalog
Authors: Kalwara James , Dale Melody , Coleman Marty
Published: July 2017

This paper explores the benefits of establishing item-specific terms for General Material Designations (GMDs) for library consortia implementing Resource Description and Access (RDA). While RDA includes a new approach towards the description and categorization of an item’s physical medium through the assignment of content, media, and carrier types (CMCs), thus replacing the GMD, libraries may still benefit from GMD retention in their online catalogs to help support user tasks and help contextualize CMC information. This paper presents the challenges that Mississippi State University Libraries experienced in leading RDA enrichment for the Mississippi Library Partnership (MLP) consortium. Additionally, it discusses parameters for libraries to consider when working with a vendor for RDA enrichment in a consortial environment.
