Le catalogage des sites web : vers une organisation structurée du web
Authors: Dupourqué Laurence 
Published: October 2016

Les bibliothèques ont le privilège d’offrir des catalogues qui indiquent d’une manière structurée aux usagers les titres possédés alors que sur Internet, lieu virtuel et infini de la recherche documentaire, règne l’anarchie. L’élaboration de catalogues sur le Net est laborieuse étant donné la quantité et la mouvance des ressources. Les bibliothécaires, qui appliquent de plus en plus leur expertise dans le monde de l’information électronique, se lancent dans un nouveau concept de bibliothèque sur Internet : la webthèque, un répertoire structuré de ressources électroniques accessibles. Contrairement à la majorité des outils de recherche sur Internet, la webthèque tend à la qualité plutôt qu’à l’exhaustivité. Elle est comme un filtre retenant les ressources pertinentes sur un sujet précis ou à l’attention d’un public particulier. Chaque ressource est sélectionnée, cataloguée et diffusée selon les principes de la bibliothéconomie, au même titre qu’un document traditionnel. Quelles sont les caractéristiques propres aux ressources électroniques en ligne ? Quels sont les avantages et les inconvénients reliés à leur catalogage ? Comment les traiter selon des normes ? Et enfin, quel est l’avenir du catalogage de ce genre de documents ?
La nouvelle Bibliothèque nationale du Québec : une institution culturelle au service des Québécois
Authors: Marcotte Véronique 
Published: October 2016

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de grandes bibliothèques publiques se construisent un peu partout dans le monde, particulièrement en Amérique du Nord et en Europe de l’Ouest. Chez nos voisins américains, les villes de Chicago, Denver, New York, Phoenix et San Francisco se sont dotées de bibliothèques modernes et imposantes. Chez nos cousins français, une nouvelle Bibliothèque nationale de France a vu le jour en 1994, et le site François Mitterrand/Tolbiac a ouvert ses portes au public en 1996. Le projet de Grande bibliothèque du Québec (GBQ), qui a vu le jour en 1998 grâce à une loi votée par l’Assemblée nationale, s’inscrit dans ce contexte international. Le Québec, tout comme ces autres grandes villes, avait besoin de se doter d’une nouvelle institution culturelle dans le domaine du livre, de la lecture et de la documentation capable de relever les défis de la société du savoir. La Bibliothèque nationale du Québec (BNQ) et la Bibliothèque centrale de Montréal (BCM) éprouvaient des problèmes d’espace qui empêchaient une diffusion adéquate de la documentation. La Grande bibliothèque du Québec, en réunissant dans un nouvel édifice la collection de diffusion de la BNQ et la collection de la BCM, se voulait une solution à ces problèmes d’espace. Son mandat initial consistait à être une bibliothèque grand public et à fournir une vitrine privilégiée pour l’édition québécoise. En 2001, le projet de Grande bibliothèque du Québec a pris un tout autre tournant lorsque le gouvernement du Québec a décidé de fusionner en une seule et même institution la GBQ et la BNQ pour créer la nouvelle Bibliothèque nationale du Québec (NBNQ) dotée à la fois d’une mission de conservation et de diffusion. Dans ce contexte, quels doivent être le rôle et les priorités de services de cette nouvelle institution à l’égard des bibliothèques publiques du Québec ? Un bref retour sur l’historique du développement des bibliothèques publiques au Québec permettra d’obtenir un portrait de la situation actuelle des bibliothèques publiques québécoises et de constater que le réseau souffre d’un retard important. Pour consolider le réseau des bibliothèques publiques québécoises, la NBNQ doit assumer un rôle de leadership en plus d’offrir un accès le plus large possible à ses collections, de promouvoir la lecture et le livre et de constituer un centre d’expertise.
Une loi des bibliothèques publiques du Québec : une nécessité
Authors: Ferland Benoit , Lajeunesse Marcel 
Published: October 2016

II est admis qu’une législation adéquate et régulièrement mise à jour constitue un élément essentiel du développement d’une politique de lecture publique. Les études de l’Unesco et l’expérience de nombreux pays, et plus particulièrement de nos voisins, le démontrent nettement. Le Québec n’a connu qu’une seule loi des bibliothèques publiques : c’était en décembre 1959. Par la suite, en 1992, une loi créant le ministère de la Culture a abrogé la loi de 1959, tout en consacrant quelques articles (7 sur 51) aux bibliothèques publiques. Une nouvelle loi s’impose de toute nécessité. Le présent article expose des repères historiques concernant la Loi sur les bibliothèques publiques au Québec, des éléments comparatifs (en Ontario, etc.) et, finalement, quelques dispositions qui devraient se retrouver dans une nouvelle loi des bibliothèques publiques au Québec.
La littérature grise : face méconnue de la documentation scientifique (1re partie)
Authors: Halima Semra 
Published: October 2016

Faisant partie de la documentation scientifique qui s’accumule avec le temps, la littérature grise est définie comme un corpus de documents difficilement repérables et consultables. Et pourtant, elle n’en représente pas moins un contenu de connaissances qui intéresse la communauté scientifique. L’expansion d’Internet semble toutefois diminuer la difficulté d’accès à cette catégorie de parapublications, lesquelles devraient glisser progressivement vers plus de « transparence ».
Alphabétisation et bibliothèques publiques : trois niveaux d’intervention possibles
Authors: Fournier Marie-Hélène , Gagnon Stéphanie 
Published: October 2016

Une enquête internationale sur l’alphabétisation des adultes a révélé, en 1994, qu’environ 28 % de la population québécoise est analphabète et qu’entre 54 % et 60 % des Québécois se retrouvent en deçà du seuil d’alphabétisation minimal, nécessaire à un bon fonctionnement en société. Comparativement aux bibliothèques publiques ontariennes et américaines, les bibliothèques québécoises font figure de parents pauvres quand il s’agit de répertorier leurs initiatives en alphabétisation. En effet, leurs actions se font rares, ou du moins, trouvent peu d’échos dans la littérature professionnelle. Afin de contrer cette situation, les auteures décrivent trois programmes représentant trois niveaux d’intervention potentiels, qui visent à mettre sur pied des services à l’intention des analphabètes, des nouveaux alphabétisés et des organismes voués à l’alphabétisation dans les bibliothèques publiques. En somme, il s’agit de propositions d’action qui peuvent être adaptées et appliquées aux bibliothèques désireuses de contrer le phénomène de l’analphabétisme au Québec. Toutefois, les auteures de l’article n’analysent pas la faisabilité de ces programmes qui doit être examinée à la lumière des ressources disponibles.
Intranet comme architecture documentaire privilégiée en entreprise : illustration d’une implantation simple dans un contexte ISO 9000
Authors: Levasseur Denis 
Published: October 2016

Les intranets constituent des infrastructures de communication et de diffusion de documents sans égales. Il en existe diverses variétés : certains reflètent les exigences de toute une organisation, d’autres sont bien ciblés aux besoins d’une unité administrative particulière ou d’un groupe de travail. Cet article présente l’implantation d’un intranet documentaire réalisé par l’auteur dans deux laboratoires accrédités ISO 9000 et il permet d’illustrer qu’un réseau Web privé n’est pas toujours le résultat d’un projet de grande envergure nécessitant des ressources humaines, financières et technologiques importantes. En conclusion, l’impact du déploiement des centres d’information virtuels sur nos pratiques sera discuté.
La bibliothèque de l’école doit-elle s’adapter ?
Authors: Joubert Yvon 
Published: October 2016

L’auteur examine l’importance des technologies dans la documentation. Après une brève réflexion sur la problématique « sociétale » et la nécessité d’une formation différente pour les jeunes, sans oublier le rôle que doit jouer la bibliothèque de l’école, il présente quelques-uns des aspects des technologies de l’information et de la communication; et, sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, il aborde les impacts qu’ont et qu’auront les technologies pour nous sensibiliser à la nécessité de leur intégration dans la documentation.
Wide-dynamic-range cantilever magnetometry using a fiber-optic interferometer and its application to high-frequency electron spin resonance spectroscopy
Authors: Takahashi Hideyuki , Okamoto Tsubasa , Ohmichi Eiji , Ohta Hitoshi 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
We present a method of broadening the dynamic range of optical interferometric detection of cantilever displacement. The key idea of this method is the use of a wavelength-tunable laser source. The wavelength is subject to proportional-integral control, which is used to keep the cavity detuning constant. Under this control, the change in wavelength is proportional to the cantilever displacement. Using this technique, we can measure large displacements (>1 µm) without degrading the sensitivity. We apply this technique to high-frequency electron spin resonance spectroscopy and succeed in removing an irregular background signal that arises from the constantly varying sensitivity of the interferometer.

ImportancePatient-directed educational materials are a promising implementation strategy to expand deprescribing reach and adoption, but little is known about the impact across medication groups with potentially different perceived risks.ObjectiveTo examine the impact of a patient-directed education intervention on clinician deprescribing of potentially low-benefit (proton pump inhibitors) or high-risk medications (high-dose gabapentin, diabetes agents with hypoglycemia risks).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis pragmatic multisite nonrandomized clinical trial took place at 3 geographically distinct US Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centers from April 2021 to October 2022. The total study sample was composed of the intervention cohort and the historical control cohort cared for by 103 primary care practitioners (PCPs).InterventionThe primary intervention component was a medication-specific brochure, mailed during the intervention time frame to all eligible patients 2 to 3 weeks prior to upcoming primary care appointments. Patients seen by the same PCPs at the same sites 1 year prior to the study intervention served as controls.Main Outcome and MeasuresThe primary binary outcome variable was deprescribing 6 months after the intervention, defined as complete cessation or any dose reduction of the target medication using VA pharmacy dispensing data.ResultsThe total study sample included 5071 patients. The overall rate of deprescribing among the intervention cohort (n = 2539) was 29.5% compared with 25.8% among the controls (n = 2532). In an unadjusted model, the intervention cohort was statistically significantly more likely to have deprescribing (odds ratio [OR], 1.17 [95% CI, 1.03-1.33]; P = .02). In a multivariable logistic regression model nesting patients within PCPs within sites and controlling for patient and PCP characteristics, the odds of deprescribing in the intervention cohort were 1.21 times that of the control cohort (95% CI, 1.05-1.38; P = .008). The difference in deprescribing prevalence between the intervention and control cohorts (proton pump inhibitors: 29.4% vs 25.4%; gabapentin: 40.2% vs 36.2%; hypoglycemia risk: 27.3% vs 25.1%) did not statistically significantly differ by medication group (P = .90).Conclusion and RelevanceThis nonrandomized clinical trial found that patient-directed educational materials provided prior to scheduled primary care appointments can effectively promote deprescribing for potentially low-benefit and high-risk medication groups.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT0429490
Toward the confident deployment of real‐world reinforcement learning agents
Authors: Hanna Josiah P. 
Published: September 2024

AbstractIntelligent learning agents must be able to learn from experience so as to accomplish tasks that require more ability than could be initially programmed. Reinforcement learning (RL) has emerged as a potentially powerful class of solution methods to create agents that learn from trial‐and‐error interaction with the world. Despite many prominent success stories, a number of challenges often stand between the use of RL in real‐world problems. As part of the AAAI New Faculty Highlight Program, in this article, I will describe the work that my group is doing at the University of Wisconsin—Madison with the intent to remove barriers to the use of RL in practice. Specifically, I will describe recent work that aims to give practitioners confidence in learned behaviors, methods to increase the data efficiency of RL, and work on “challenge” domains that stress RL algorithms beyond current testbeds.
Fair and optimal prediction via post‐processing
Authors: Zhao Han 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWith the development of machine learning algorithms and the increasing computational resources available, artificial intelligence has achieved great success in many application domains. However, the success of machine learning has also raised concerns about the fairness of the learned models. For instance, the learned models can perpetuate and even exacerbate the potential bias and discrimination in the training data. This issue has become a major obstacle to the deployment of machine learning systems in high‐stakes domains, for example, criminal judgment, medical testing, online advertising, hiring process, and so forth. To mitigate the potential bias exhibited by machine learning models, fairness criteria can be integrated into the training process to ensure fair treatment across all demographics, but it often comes at the expense of model performance. Understanding such tradeoffs, therefore, is crucial to the design of optimal and fair algorithms. My research focuses on characterizing the inherent tradeoff between fairness and accuracy in machine learning, and developing algorithms that can achieve both fairness and optimality. In this article, I will discuss our recent work on designing post‐processing algorithms for fair classification, which can be applied to a wide range of fairness criteria, including statistical parity, equal opportunity, and equalized odds, under both attribute‐aware and attribute‐blind settings, and is particularly suited to large‐scale foundation models where retraining is expensive or even infeasible. I will also discuss the connections between our work and other related research on trustworthy machine learning, including the connections between algorithmic fairness and differential privacy as well as adversarial robustness.
Towards smooth mobile robot deployments in dynamic human environments
Authors: Mavrogiannis Christoforos 
Published: September 2024

AbstractRecently, there has been great interest in deploying autonomous mobile robots in airports, malls, and hospitals to complete a range of tasks such as delivery, cleaning, and patrolling. The rich context of these environments gives rise to highly unstructured motion that is challenging for robots to anticipate and adapt to. This results in uncomfortable and unsafe human–robot encounters, poor robot performance, and even catastrophic failures that hinder robot acceptance. Such observations have motivated my work on social robot navigation, the problem of enabling robots to navigate in human environments while accounting for human safety and comfort. In this article, I highlight prior work on expanding the classical autonomy stack with mathematical models and algorithms designed to contribute towards smoother mobile robot deployments in complex environments.
Effective knowledge representation and utilization for sustainable collaborative learning across heterogeneous systems
Authors: Hoang Trong Nghia 
Published: September 2024

AbstractThe increasingly decentralized and private nature of data in our digital society has motivated the development of collaborative intelligent systems that enable knowledge aggregation among data owners. However, collaborative learning has only been investigated in simple settings. For example, clients are often assumed to train solution models de novo, disregarding all prior expertise. The learned model is typically represented in task‐specific forms that are not generalizable to unseen, emerging scenarios. Finally, a universal model representation is enforced among collaborators, ignoring their local compute constraints or input representations. These limitations hampers the practicality of prior collaborative systems in learning scenarios with limited task data that demand constant knowledge adaptation and transfer across information silos, tasks, and learning models, as well as the utilization of prior solution expertise. Furthermore, prior collaborative learning frameworks are not sustainable on a macro scale where participants desire fairness allocation of benefits (e.g., access to the combined model) based on their costs of participation (e.g., overhead of model sharing and training synchronization, risk of information breaches, etc.). This necessitates a new perspective of collaborative learning where the server not only aggregates but also conducts valuation of the participant's contribution, and distribute aggregated information to individuals in commensurate to their contribution. To substantiate the above vision, we propose a new research agenda on developing effective and sustainable collaborative learning frameworks across heterogeneous systems, featuring three novel computational capabilities on knowledge organization: model expression, comprehension, and valuation.
Evaluation of a non‐metallic dual‐port expander for intensity modulated proton therapy

Published: September 2024

AbstractPurposeTo provide a methodology for characterization of the technical properties of a newly developed non‐metallic tissue expander for intensity modulated proton therapy.MethodsThree tissue expanders (AlloX2‐Pro: plastic‐dual port, AlloX2: metal‐dual port, and Dermaspan: metal‐single port) were deconstructed, CT‐scanned, and modeled in RayStation12A. A 165 MeV single spot was used to create RayStation dose planes, and the integrated depth dose profiles were calculated and the DR90 extracted to predict water equivalent thickness (WET). These predictions were compared to measurements taken with an IBA Giraffe MLIC. Native, water, and fully modelled overrides were compared for the AlloX2 Pro to quantify differences in override choices. Geometric considerations between expanders were compared using a ray‐tracing technique to contour the “no‐fly” zone around metallic components using a clinical, three beam arrangement. Lastly, a planning and evaluation framework was provided using a single plan as an illustration.ResultsThe measured AlloX2‐Pro WET values were within 0.22 cm of RayStation predictions while metallic values ranged from 0.08 to 0.46 cm. Using natively scanned density values for the AlloX2 Pro improved the discrepancy in WET between predicted and measured from −0.22 to −0.09 cm (drain) and from −0.17 to −0.12 cm (injection). The “no‐fly” zone volume of all three beams reduced 95% between the AlloX2‐Pro and Dermaspan, which geometrically allowed more uniform coverage behind the port and reduced need for beam modulation.ConclusionThe beam perturbation of the AlloX2‐Pro is well modeled, but improved agreement with measured WET values was observed when utilizing native densities in calculations. The AlloX2 Pro can support beam arrangements that traverse the ports, which can enable simpler beam geometry and a reduction in dose modulation around the port to promote improved robustness and treatment delivery quality.

Published: September 2024

AbstractVenous graft decay (VGD) occurs in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), and ischemia‐reperfusion oxidative stress injury during the operation is involved in VGD. To explore the cellular phenotypic changes during this process, a stable oxidative stress model of human saphenous vein endothelial cells (HSVECs) is constructed. Through proteomics and cell experiments, it is found that the expression of BCL2L13 is upregulated during oxidative stress of HSVECs, and BCL2L13 regulated mitophagy through receptor‐mediated interaction with LC3 and plays a role in cell protection. During oxidative stress, intracellular o8G epigenetic modification occurs, and the o8G modification of miR‐6513‐5p causes this molecule to lose its targeted regulation of BCL2L13 and participates in the upregulation of BCL2L13. There is a regulatory pathway of o8G modification‐BCL2L13‐LC3‐mitophagy when oxidative stress occurs in HSVECs.

Published: September 2024

Abstract2D materials possess significant potential across various applications, with physical and chemical properties that can be effectively modulated by their thickness, enabling tailored optimization for specific uses. For instance, 2D monolayers are ideal for transparent and flexible electronics, while 2D multilayers are more suitable for solar cells and high‐speed devices. Although scalable methods for synthesizing large‐area 2D materials and their applications have been developed, most research has focused on monolayers, with comparatively limited efforts directed toward multilayers. This review provides an overview of the emerging field of 2D multilayers, revisiting the analysis of layer‐dependent properties to determine the optimal material thickness for various applications. It introduces representative techniques for synthesizing 2D multilayer films and presents applications where multilayer structures demonstrate superior performance compared to monolayers, particularly in electronics and optoelectronics. The review advocates for the development of synthesis and integration methods for 2D multilayers, calling for a shift in research focus toward these materials to enhance their technological impact and unlock new industrial applications.
