The Rosarium Project
Authors: Tryon Julia Rachel 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to describe the Rosarium Project, a digital humanities project being undertaken at the Phillips Memorial Library + Commons of Providence College in Providence, Rhode Island. The project focuses on a collection of English language non-fiction writings about the genus Rosa. The collection will comprise books, pamphlets, catalogs and articles from popular magazines, scholarly journals and newspapers written on the rose published before 1923. The source material is being encoded using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Consortium’s P5 guidelines and the extensible markup language (XML) editor software <oXygen/>.

Design/methodology/approach
This paper outlines the Rosarium Project and describes its workflow. This paper demonstrates how to create TEI-encoded files for digital curation using the XML editing software <oXygen/> and the TEI Archiving Publishing and Access Service (TAPAS) Project. The paper provides information on the purpose, scope, audience and phases of the project. It also identifies the resources – hardware, software and membership – needed for undertaking such a project.

Findings
This paper shows how straightforward it is to encode transcriptions of primary sources using the TEI and XML editing software and to make the resulting digital resources available on the Web.

Originality/value
This paper presents a case study of how a research project transitioned from traditional printed bibliography to a web-accessible resource by capitalizing on the tools in the TEI toolkit using specialized XML editing software. The details of the project can be a guide for librarians and researchers contemplating digitally curating primary resources and making them available on the Web.
Organizational considerations initiating a big data and analytics implementation
Authors: Cervone H. Frank 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
Organizations are beginning to realize the potential benefits of big data and harnessing all of the data they are creating. However, a major impediment for many organizations is understanding where to start in big data and analytics implementation. In many respects, starting a successful implementation is not much different from any other project managed within the organization. The major stumbling block is knowing what questions to ask to get things going. This paper aims to help libraries and information organizations that are considering big data and analytics implementation to begin their journey by following a checklist of eight aspects to be considered in the development of a big data and analytics strategy.

Design/methodology/approach
The eight aspects to consider in big data and analytics implementation were developed using a combination of existing project management common knowledge, consultant recommendations and real-life experiences.

Findings
Organizations considering big data and analytics implementation need to explore aspects related to the data they have, what organizational problems they are trying to solve, how data governance will work in the new environment, as well as how they will define success in terms of their implementation. These are in addition to the technical issues one would normally expect in a systems implementation.

Originality/value
While there have been many articles written about the implementation of big data and analytics in organizations, most of these focus on technical issues rather than managerial and organizational concerns. In addition, none of these other articles have been from the perspective of library and information science. In this article, the focus is specifically on how information professionals may approach this problem.
Interior design as a post-disaster team partner
Authors: Boehm Sarah , Kopec Dak 
Published: July 2016

PurposeThis purpose of this paper is to promote the potential for utilizing interior designers as partners on multidisciplinary teams that deal with natural disaster recovery efforts. Interior design, an often-misunderstood profession, focuses on the health, safety and welfare of all who utilize interior spaces. Members of this profession bring a unique and relevant perspective to design and problem-solving.Design/methodology/approachA self-selecting international student design call supplied the data for illustrating how interior designers’ training prepares these multifaceted professionals to practice within diverse cultural contexts to create region-specific temporary housing units.FindingsThe designs submitted indeed, demonstrated an understanding of the holistic process necessary for creating effective temporary shelters.Research limitations/implicationsA limitation of the research is that the design call involved interior design students only. A broader invitation might also solicit entries from practicing interior design professionals.Originality/valueThe acknowledgement traditionally accorded interior designers as essential contributors to multidisciplinary disaster relief teams is tenuous at best. This paper suggests that interior designers have the potential to assume an important role in disaster relief planning and shelter creation. Attention must now be directed toward promoting a universal appreciation of the relevant skills training, and holistic perspectives of interior designers.

Authors: Wickramasinghe GLD , Perera Asanka 
Published: July 2016

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of total productive maintenance (TPM) practices on manufacturing performance of textile and apparel manufacturing firms.Design/methodology/approach– A self-administered survey questionnaire was used for data collection. A total of 236 usable responses resulted in a 78 percent response rate from 30 textile and apparel firms. Correlation and regression analysis was performed using SPSS software to identify the effect of TPM on manufacturing performance.Findings– The results show that all the TPM practices have positive and significant relationship with manufacturing performance and significantly improve cost effectiveness, product quality, on-time delivery and volume flexibility.Practical implications– The study presented in this paper offers academics and practitioners a better understanding of the relationship and impact of the TPM practices on the manufacturing performances. Thus practitioners will be able to make better and more effective decisions about the implementation of TPM practices.Originality/value– The understanding of the effect of TPM practices on manufacturing performance is timely for labor intensive manufacturing industries such as textile and apparel since it has not been researched adequately. Therefore, findings will impact the global textile and apparel industry positively.
Bridging capability gaps in technology transfers within related offsets
Authors: Malm Anna Margaretha , Fredriksson Anna , Johansen Kerstin 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to explore how capability gaps can be identified and how they can be dealt with in aircraft technology transfers in future offset deals.

Design/methodology/approach
– The study is based on lessons learned as identified from three case studies of technology transfers from Saab, a Swedish aircraft manufacturing company to South Africa, the Czech Republic, and India.

Findings
– The capability gap between sender and receiver has to be dealt with on two levels: on an organizational level; and on an individual level. It is proposed that the disseminative capacity constitutes the ability to assess the capability gap between the sender and receiver, and to convert this assessment to adaptations of the product and production process to include in an industrialization process. On the individual level, the capability-raising activities were connected to employees’ knowledge, personal development plans for the transfer of explicit knowledge, as well as on-the-job training to facilitate the exchange of tacit knowledge.

Research limitations/implications
– The research is based on case studies from one company. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the proposed propositions through new case studies in other contexts as well as through survey-based research.

Originality/value
– The paper focusses on the context of offset and reports on actual experiences from a capability perspective of technology transfers within the aircraft manufacturing area. It proposes a structured way of identifying and bridging the capability gap within such transfers.

Findings
A comprehensive model is developed for library resources’ management. Subject specialists are the key of the model integrating marketing roles and evaluation roles.

Research limitations/implications
The main limitations of this study are the small sample size of interview candidates, which may have application limitations on other types of libraries and universities in different areas.

Practical implications
This study generates a comprehensive model based on past research, contributing to future library decision-making practices.

Originality/value
It develops a subject specialist-centric model of library resources’ value assessment and brings the element of culture into future studies of academic library.
“How will I know?” engagement with information resources
Authors: Al-Muomen Nujoud , Shaw Debora , Courtney Michael 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
This paper aims to compare how undergraduates in Kuwait and Indiana Universities assess information resources for class assignments.

Design/methodology/approach
Social science majors at Kuwait University and Indiana University Bloomington completed the Project Information Literacy survey.

Findings
The students are comparable in how often they ask instructors or classmates for advice, but Kuwaitis are more likely to ask other people for assistance. Kuwaiti students generally are less critical in their evaluation of both library-based and web information resources but are more likely to consider librarian recommendations.

Research limitations/implications
Institution-specific factors that were not specifically addressed include the following: the survey was administered online in Indiana and on paper in Kuwait, and the types of course assignments and/or students’ information literacy instruction may also vary by institution.

Practical implications
Librarians should continue to present information clearly and use a variety of instructional methods so that material is accessible. Librarian recommendations and modeling of evaluative behavior can assist international students. Social media may be useful in working with these students’ more collaborative approach to assessing resources.

Originality/value
The work updates the 2010 Project Information Literacy survey on undergraduates’ evaluation of information resources for coursework. It also extends that survey to identify how students from Kuwait are different than USA undergraduates.
Dynamic modelling of solar storage system: a case study of leisure centre
Authors: Sajjadian Seyed Masoud 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to present the advantages of a solar store system with transpired solar air collector (TSC) in North Wales, UK. The collectors are designed as a proposal to meet the target of the solar air storage and heating project to improve the efficiency of solar collectors in the UK.

Design/methodology/approach
– IES software simulation is used to examine the potential of a solar store system in Deeside Leisure Centre compared to the traditional constant air volume (CAV) system and CAV system with heat pump. The design parameters and configurations are determined on the basis of the monitoring results gained from recent experiments.

Findings
– The result demonstrates good agreement between simulations and monitoring results and the solar store system demonstrates considerably lower energy consumption compared to the traditional CAV system with and without heat pump.

Originality/value
– The usage of TSC is proven to be useful in improving COP of the heat pumps and reducing overall energy consumption in a leisure center. The framework proposed in this study could also be applied to different building types in order to highlight their advantages.
Emission and cost effects of training for construction equipment operators
Authors: Jukic Daniel , Carmichael David G. 
Published: July 2016

Purpose
– It is postulated that operator-dependent factors have a substantial impact on the fuel consumption and emissions of heavy-duty construction vehicles, such that by adopting different operator practices, savings in fuel used and lower emissions and costs can be achieved. Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to examine the emission and cost effects of a driver-training programme aimed at fuel efficiency and construction truck operators.

Design/methodology/approach
– A study was conducted on an urban excavation involving truck-and-trailer vehicles, serviced by an excavator, over an approximately 50 km trafficked urban circuit. Field observations, before and after training, and including those on a control truck operator, gave fuel usage, emissions data, speed, travel times, routing, production and operational costs.

Findings
– Compared to baseline values, trained drivers saw a reduction in their fuel consumption by an average of 8.5 per cent, reducing to 7.7 per cent after several weeks following training. Importantly, this occurred without increased travel time or lost production.

Research limitations/implications
– The number of drivers participating in the research was dictated by the nature of the project involved. A larger sample, and research involving a closer study of braking, acceleration and gearshift behaviour, would help confirm this paper’s results and provide further insight.

Practical implications
– The paper demonstrates quantitative benefits (reduced unit emissions and reduced unit costs) associated with construction equipment operator training.

Originality/value
– The research is original, being the first related to driver training of heavy-duty construction equipment and incorporating production measurements, the first involving a study of equipment operators unaware that they were being observed, and the first involving a control.
Incidence of serum antibody titers against herpes simplex virus in Japanese patients
Authors: Miyachi Motoko , Imafuku Shinichi 
Published: July 2016

AbstractHerpes simplex virus (HSV) establishes latency in the sensory neuronal ganglia after primary infection, and occasionally causes recurrent infection, mainly on the lips or genitalia. Previous reports revealed an age‐related increase in HSV‐immunoglobulin G seropositive subjects in a hospital‐based study and the general population in Japan. In this report, we retrospectively analyzed the results of serological tests against HSV, in which subjects were diagnosed with or suspected as having HSV infection. A total of 1216 subjects with at least one complement fixation (CF) result were included. Of these, 771 subjects (63.4%) were positive at first visit. When stratified by age, incidence of positive patients linearly increased with age from teenagers (44.9%) to those in their 80s (88.9%). Positivity in women was higher than in men overall; significantly higher incidence was observed in women aged in their 30s, 40s and 60s. When observing changing HSV‐CF titers over time in 81 initially negative patients, 18 (22%) seroconverted during the 2121‐day observation period. In this study, we clearly show that distribution of HSV‐CF titers is similar to previous HSV‐immunoglobulin G results. This correlation is probably caused by the continual subclinical proliferation of HSV, thus maintaining CF titers. Our observations provide current data on the incidence of HSV, reconfirming that serological examination is unreliable in diagnosing recurrent herpes, and the majority of infected subjects are asymptomatic.
Evidence of a bacterial core in the stored products pest Plodia interpunctella: the influence of different diets

Published: July 2016

SummaryThe potential influence of insects' feeding behaviour on their associated bacterial communities is currently a matter of debate. Using the major pest of commodities, Plodia interpunctella, as a model and adopting a culture‐independent approach, the impact of different diets on the host‐associated microbiota was evaluated. An analysis of similarity showed differences among the microbiotas of moths fed with five substrates and provided evidence that diet represents the only tested factor that explains this dissimilarity. Bacteria shared between food and insects provide evidence for a limited conveyance to the host of the bacteria derived from the diet; more likely, the content of carbohydrates and proteins in the diets promotes changes in the insect's microbiota. Moth microbiotas were characterized by two robust entomotypes, respectively, associated with a carbohydrate‐rich diet and a protein‐rich diet. These results were also confirmed by the predicted metagenome functional potential. A core microbiota, composed of six taxa, was shared between eggs and adults, regardless of the origin of the population. Finally, the identification of possible human and animal pathogens on chili and associated with the moths that feed on it highlights the possibility that these bacteria may be conveyed by moth frass.
An extracellular Zn‐only superoxide dismutase from Puccinia striiformis confers enhanced resistance to host‐derived oxidative stress

Published: July 2016

SummaryAccumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) following plant‐pathogen interactions can trigger plant defence responses and directly damage pathogens. Thus, it is essential for pathogens to scavenge host‐derived ROS to establish a parasitic relationship. However, the mechanisms protecting pathogens from host‐derived oxidative stress remain unclear. In this study, a superoxide dismutase (SOD) gene, PsSOD1, was cloned from a wheat—Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) interaction cDNA library. Transcripts of PsSOD1 were up‐regulated in the early infection stage. Heterologous mutant complementation and biochemical characterization revealed that PsSOD1 encoded a Zn‐only SOD. The predicted signal peptide was functional in an invertase‐mutated yeast strain. Furthermore, immunoblot analysis of apoplastic proteins in Pst‐infected wheat leaves and bimolecular fluorescence complementation suggested that PsSOD1 is a secreted protein that potentially forms a dimer during Pst infection. Overexpression of PsSOD1 enhanced Schizosaccharomyces pombe resistance to exogenous superoxide. Transient expression of PsSOD1 in Nicotiana benthamiana suppressed Bax‐induced cell death. Knockdown of PsSOD1 using a host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) system reduced the virulence of Pst, which was associated with ROS accumulation in HIGS plants. These results suggest that PsSOD1 is an important pathogenicity factor that is secreted into the host‐pathogen interface to contribute to Pst infection by scavenging host‐derived ROS.
The ethics of ambulance ramping
Authors: Perry Matthew , Carter Drew 
Published: July 2016

AbstractRamping is the practice of requiring paramedics to continue to care for patients rather than hand over clinical responsibility to the ED. It arose as an alternative to admitting patients to EDs that are deemed to be already operating at or beyond capacity. This paper analyses the ethics of ramping.Ramping has been embraced by some ED practitioners and policymakers as a solution to the problem of ED patients suffering increased risks of harm as a result of waiting times within ED. However, this perspective fails to adequately consider the implications, especially the opportunity cost of requiring paramedics to remain at the hospital rather than make themselves available for other patients. From this perspective, ramping negatively impacts the wider provision of emergency medical services, with potentially serious consequences for people's health. Advocates of ramping must consider people in the community who require a medical emergency response.
Autonomic nervous infiltration positively correlates with pathological risk grading and poor prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma

Published: July 2016

BackgroundPerineural invasion has been found in several types of human tumors, and is associated with poor prognosis; however, few studies have examined perineural invasion in lung cancer. We evaluated the relationship between autonomic nervous densities, pathological risk grading, and prognosis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LADC).MethodsNeural fiber expression was examined by immunofluorescence in resected lung specimens in control patients (n = 30), and low‐risk (n = 22), and high‐risk LADC patients (n = 43). The nerve densities of normal lung tissue and abnormal lung tissues in the tumor and surrounding tissues were evaluated by a semi‐quantitative score method.ResultsIncreased sympathetic fibers mainly infiltrated the paratumoral area, while increased parasympathetic fibers were largely restricted to the tumor (paratumor vs. tumor,
P
= 0.000 in high,
P
= 0.034 in low; each). In addition, high‐risk patients presented the highest density of neural fibers, followed by low‐risk and control patients (
P
= 0.000; each). In Kaplan–Meier survival analysis, the densities of sympathetic fibers in paratumoral tissue and parasympathetic fibers in the tumor, respectively, correlated with poor recurrence‐free survival in patients who were not treated with adjuvant therapy (
P
< 0.001; each). Further multivariate analysis showed that these two factors were associated with poor prognosis in all LADC patients (
P
= 0.024 sympathetic fibers;
P
= 0.037 parasympathetic fibers).ConclusionThese findings reveal a positive correlation between nervous infiltration and risk of poor prognosis in patients with LADC.
