Research data services in european and north american libraries: Current offerings and plans for the future
Authors: Tenopir Carol , Pollock Danielle , Allard Suzie , Hughes Dane 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTAs management of research data becomes increasingly important to scholars and academic institutions, academic libraries can play a major role by offering research data services (RDS). This poster presents the results of a survey of the Ligue des Bibliothèques Européennes de Recherche‐Association of European Research Libraries (LIBER) academic member library directors to find out what types of RDS their libraries are currently offering and what services they plan to offer in the future. The survey found that while most of these libraries currently offer or are planning to offer at least some RDS, consultative or reference‐type services are offered more often than are technical or hands‐on services. Most of these libraries are in discussions regarding data policies, collaborate with other organizations within or outside their own institutions to offer RDS, and most provide support for RDS skills development for staff members. This poster discusses the implications of these findings and offers directions for future research.
Scholarly communication and practices in the world of metrics: An exploratory study
Authors: Ma Lai , Ladisch Michael 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTMetrics have become objective standards for evaluating research performance. Measurements such as citation counts and h‐index are used for evaluating individual research performance as well as the ranking of research institutions and universities. This exploratory study aims to understand the implications of the increasing use of metrics on scholarly communication and practices. A pilot study was conducted in universities in Ireland. Preliminary findings show that researchers use Google Scholar and ResearchGate for self‐monitoring and that they perceive bibliometric measures as indicators of achievements. The pilot study also shows that there are mixed feelings toward bibliometrics: while the participants emphasise that research interest is the most important criterion in choosing research topics and publication channels and that citation counts, h‐index, and RG scores are coincidental of their research activities, they also perceive the quantitative measures as objective evaluation of research performance without knowing how the h‐index or RG scores are calculated.
“Shorts last sunday, snow pants today”: Delving into the information values of immigrant and expatriate users of twitter
Authors: Hyduk Alyssa , Worrall Adam 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTInformation‐centric online communities are frequent sources for users who are seeking and sharing information, with greater sharing encouraged when users share similar judgments of information value. Information sharing and ICT use are especially important for immigrants and expats, but further research is needed into immigrants' use of ICTs and their information value judgments. This poster presents in‐progress research on how the ICTs used by expat and immigrant members of Twitter interact with the information values of community members. Findings show information value determination and negotiation are important for immigrants and expats online, with cultural, contextual, and economic values being most frequently invoked both explicitly and implicitly. A strong role for boundaries and some establishment of common ground was observed, but further exploration is necessary and planned of cases of information value negotiation, information sharing, and ICT use among this population to further our understanding of them in social, technical, and cultural contexts.

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTWe conducted a pilot study to explore refugee students' access to and use of information during the settlement process. Using arts‐based elicitation and semi‐structured interview techniques, we probed the information world of a refugee student studying in Canada. Our findings begin to identify the scope and variety of information sources that students consult at various stages of settlement and their utility. Our continued work in this area seeks to assist the Student Refugee Program (SRP) on our campus to advocate for and meet the information needs of refugee students by understanding what information is needed, when it is needed, and how to provide optimal access to it.
Towards a seamless multilingual Semantic Web: A study on constructing a cross‐lingual ontology
Authors: Cheng Yi‐Yun , Chen Hsueh‐Hua 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTCross‐lingual ontology research has become a pivotal concern in the global age. Researchers worldwide try to be interoperable with ontologies written not only in English, but also in other languages. Yet, constructing a cross‐lingual ontology can be difficult, and a detailed mapping method is often hard to find. This study investigates the practice for constructing a cross‐lingual ontology, in the case of the Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology and the Semantic Web for Earth and Environmental Terminology (SWEET) ontologies. By adopting a three‐phase research design, a cross‐lingual ontology method between English and Traditional Chinese is constructed through the implementation of Protégé. The mapping results between the two languages reveal an accuracy of 80.66% on the exact‐match terms, while the Chinese synonyms and related terms expressed by SKOS labels are all proven searchable in our primary evaluation. These promising results demonstrate the feasibility of the methodology proposed by this study, and further suggest that such approach is suitable to be adopted by future researchers to model their cross‐lingual ontologies.
Translocal meaning making: Examining the information practices of migrants from the Philippines to Winnipeg
Authors: Allard Danielle 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis poster describes the process of translocal meaning making, a set of information practices by which newcomers from the Philippines to Winnipeg, Canada, came to make sense of and operate within the Winnipeg information context. It describes how newcomers constructed meaning as they migrated to Winnipeg, encountering and incorporating diverse, complex, and often contradictory information and information resources into their daily lives as they migrated and settled in an unknown information context. This 5 step process demonstrates that migrants' information practices are more dynamic, fluid, and iterative than articulated in previous studies that examine the information practices of migrants.
Understanding scientific data sharing outside of the academy
Authors: Pollock Danielle 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTSharing and reuse of scientific data, which can enhance the transparency and reproducibility of research and lead to the creation of new knowledge from existing data, is both a growing scholarly communication practice and an expanding area of interest in information science. However, much of the literature to date has focused on the data practices of scientists working in academic environments, with less research done on understanding the practices of scientists working in other types of environments, such as government or industry. This poster presents the results of a study in which data from a worldwide survey of scientists were analyzed to determine if differences in data practices, perceptions, and access to resources for data sharing existed between scientists who reported their primary work sector as academic and those who reported a non‐academic primary work sector. Researchers' perceptions of data sharing and reuse were generally positive and did not differ significantly by work sector. However, differences were found in actual reported data sharing practices, even when controlling for researchers' age, geographic location, and subject discipline. Researchers outside of academia had lesser odds of reporting sharing all their data. Differences were also found in reported barriers to data sharing, as well as in reported access to and use of data sharing resources, suggesting that data sharing challenges faced by scientists working outside of academia may differ from those faced by their academic peers. Implications for the adoption of data sharing practices and technologies, as well as for knowledge sharing and creation across work sectors, are discussed, and suggestions are offered for further research.

Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThe advent of digital scholarship, together with the increasing momentum of open access for research, have thrown scholarly publishing into flux. In the shifting landscape of scholarly communication, libraries are taking on new roles in order to publish scholarship in innovative forms: by building institutional and data repositories, for example, or collaborating with faculty to develop multimedia monographs or open access journals. The Publishing Without Walls project at the University of Illinois is developing a service model for university libraries to support scholar‐driven, openly accessible, scalable, and sustainable publishing practices. To this end, we are conducting a multimodal study of scholars' needs, objectives, and practices in this new age of publishing. This poster presents preliminary results of a large‐scale survey of scholars, which aims to shed light on what and how scholars want to publish, when and why they choose to publish digitally, and how they understand the success of their digital publications. This survey, in tandem with the results of a series of interviews and focus groups, is actively informing the development of two digital monograph series at the University of Illinois University Library, along with a model for their development that may be useful to other libraries involved with publishing new modes of scholarship.
What are we talking about when we talk about sustainability of digital archives, repositories and libraries?
Authors: Eschenfelder Kristin R. , Shankar Kalpana , Williams Rachel , Lanham Allison , Salo Dorothea , Zhang Mei 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThis paper reports on how LIS authors depict the concept of sustainability of digital archives, repositories and libraries in English language texts from 2000‐ 2015 indexed in three major LIS databases. Our results show that sustainability is not as popular a topic as one might expect. Results show that most authors discuss sustainability at a superficial level rather than in‐depth. Sustainability is a multi‐faceted concept, and we explore the prevalence of nine codes, representing different facets of sustainability, in the texts. We found most authors discussed sustainability in terms of technology, management, relationships or revenue. Fewer described assessment, disaster planning or policy facets. We also describe the range and variation in subthemes we encountered within each code. We conclude with suggestions for advancing conversation about organizational sustainability in the LIS literature.
What social media data should i use in my research?: A comparative analysis of twitter, youtube, reddit, and the new york times comments
Authors: Choi Dongho , Matni Ziad , Shah Chirag 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTThe emergence of popular social media allows people to generate and share information in unprecedented and multiple ways. While studies concerning social media data are plentiful and can be found across a variety of scholarly disciplines, there has been little research done that compares multiple social media while considering topics and goals of an investigation. We collected and analyzed comparable data from four different social media sources:Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, and theNew York Timeswebsite, across five research topics. We then analyzed these data sets across several criteria, such as richness and the diversity of information that they contain. Our analysis shows the trade‐offs between different social media services and also provides a new framework to compare cross‐platform data collection and analysis utility.
Addressing recent docking challenges: A hybrid strategy to integrate template‐based and free protein‐protein docking
Authors: Yan Yumeng , Wen Zeyu , Wang Xinxiang , Huang Sheng‐You 
Published: December 2016

ABSTRACTProtein–protein docking is an important computational tool for predicting protein–protein interactions. With the rapid development of proteomics projects, more and more experimental binding information ranging from mutagenesis data to three‐dimensional structures of protein complexes are becoming available. Therefore, how to appropriately incorporate the biological information into traditional ab initio docking has been an important issue and challenge in the field of protein‐protein docking. To address these challenges, we have developed a Hybrid DOCKing protocol of template‐based and template‐free approaches, referred to as HDOCK. The basic procedure of HDOCK is to model the structures of individual components based on the template complex by a template‐based method if a template is available; otherwise, the component structures will be modeled based on monomer proteins by regular homology modeling. Then, the complex structure of the component models is predicted by traditional protein‐protein docking. With the HDOCK protocol, we have participated in the CPARI experiment for rounds 28‐35. Out of the 25 CASP‐CAPRI targets for oligomer modeling, our HDOCK protocol predicted correct models for 16 targets, ranking one of the top algorithms in this challenge. Our docking method also made correct predictions on other CAPRI challenges such as protein–peptide binding for 6 out of 8 targets and water predictions for 2 out of 2 targets. The advantage of our hybrid docking approach over pure template‐based docking was further confirmed by a comparative evaluation on 20 CASP‐CAPRI targets.

57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy on iron based pnictides and chalcogenides in applied magnetic fields
Authors: Kamusella Sirko , To Lai Kwing , Harnagea Luminita , Beck Robert , Pachmayr Ursula , Singh Thakur Gohil , Klauss Hans‐Henning 
Published: December 2016

AbstractIn this article, we show possibilities and limitations of the 57Fe‐Mössbauer spectroscopy applied to iron‐based pnictides and chalcogenides. The principle structure of these materials are FePn‐ or FeCh‐layers with tetragonally coordinated Fe2+ ions. These layers are the electronically active structures for the competing magnetic and superconducting ground states. Mössbauer spectroscopy is frequently applied to investigate zero field local magnetic properties of both powder and single crystal materials. However, the absolute size of the hyperfine parameters often is small and the study can benefit from the application of an external field. With the help of an applied field it is possible to study magnetic interactions, ferromagnetic impurities, the sign of the electric field gradient (EFG) and magnetoelastic coupling. We show different aspects of applied magnetic field measurements and discuss results in iron‐based pnictides and chalcogenides.The field distribution induced by applied fields is in the ideal case described by exchange and anisotropy fields. Due to sample inhomogeneity, a model independent analysis can be necessary as in case of our LaFeAsO transverse field measurements.

AbstractIn this article, we summarize the effects of magnetic and nonmagnetic impurities on the spin dynamics in Fe‐based superconductors and their parent compounds. The effects of chemical substitution, vacancies, and disorder on the suppression or stabilization of superconductivity and spin‐density‐wave phases are reviewed in the context of recent neutron‐spectroscopy measurements of spin excitations. We also present new results on the structure of magnetic fluctuations in single crystals doped with Mn local moments and discuss them in relationship to the previously reported branch of checkerboard magnetic excitations.

AbstractBackgroundShoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for diagnosis and treatment of a shoulder pathology. The procedure is performed with a fiber optic camera, called arthroscope, and instruments inserted through very tiny incisions made around the shoulder. The confined shoulder space, unintuitive camera orientation and constrained instrument motions complicates the procedure. Therefore, surgical competence in arthroscopy entails extensive training especially for psychomotor skills development. Conventional arthroscopy training methods such as mannequins, cadavers or apprenticeship model have limited use attributed to their low‐fidelity in realism, cost inefficiency or incurring high risk. However, virtual reality (VR) based surgical simulators offer a realistic, low cost, risk‐free training and assessment platform where the trainees can repeatedly perform arthroscopy and receive quantitative feedback on their performances. Therefore, we are developing a VR based shoulder arthroscopy simulation specifically for the rotator cuff ailments that can quantify the surgery performance. Development of such a VR simulation requires a through task analysis that describes the steps and goals of the procedure, comprehensive metrics for quantitative and objective skills and surgical technique assessment.MethodsWe analyzed shoulder arthroscopic rotator cuff surgeries and created a hierarchical task tree. We introduced a novel surgery metrics to reduce the subjectivity of the existing grading metrics and performed video analysis of 14 surgery recordings in the operating room (OR). We also analyzed our video analysis results with respect to the existing proposed metrics in the literature.ResultsWe used Pearson's correlation tests to find any correlations among the task times, scores and surgery specific information. We determined strong positive correlation between cleaning time vs difficulty in tying suture, cleaning time vs difficulty in passing suture, cleaning time vs scar tissue size, difficulty passing vs difficulty in tying suture, total time and difficulty of the surgery.ConclusionWe have established a hierarchical task analysis and analyzed our performance metrics. We will further use our metrics in our VR simulator for quantitative assessment.
Control‐oriented modeling and deployment of tensegrity–membrane systems
Authors: Yang Shu , Sultan Cornel 
Published: December 2016

SummaryThis study addresses control‐oriented modeling and control design of tensegrity–membrane systems. Lagrange's method is used to develop a control‐oriented model for a generic system. The equations of motion are expressed as a set of differential‐algebraic equations (DAEs). For control design, the DAEs are converted into second‐order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) based on coordinate partitioning and coordinate mapping. Because the number of inputs is less than the number of state variables, the system belongs to the class of underactuated nonlinear systems. A nonlinear adaptive controller based on the collocated partial feedback linearization (PFL) technique is designed for system deployment. The stability of the closed‐loop system for the actuated coordinates is studied using the Lyapunov stability theory. Because of system complexity, numerical tests are used to conduct stability analysis for the dynamics of the underactuated coordinates, which represents the system's zero dynamics. For the tensegrity–membrane systems studied in this work, analytical proof of zero dynamics stability remains an open theoretical problem. An H∞ controller is implemented for rapid stabilization of the system at the final deployed configuration. Simulations are conducted to test the performance of the two controllers. The simulation results are presented and discussed in detail. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Canopy tree species and openness affect foliar endophytic fungal communities of understory seedlings
Authors: Kato Saya , Fukasawa Yu , Seiwa Kenji 
Published: December 2016

AbstractThere is growing evidence demonstrating the diversity of foliar endophytic fungi and their ecological roles in the survival of tree seedlings. However, the factors that shape fungal communities in tree seedlings within natural forest ecosystems remain poorly understood. Here, we evaluated the composition of foliar endophytic fungi growing in current‐year seedlings of Cornus controversa and Prunus grayana in a cool temperate deciduous forest through a seed‐sowing experiment and fungal isolation. The composition of endophytic fungi was affected by canopy tree species, canopy openness, and time after germination. In total, 27 and 22 fungal taxa were isolated from C. controversa and P. grayana seedlings, respectively. The dominant fungal taxa in both seedling species were Colletotorichum spp., and their isolation frequencies were higher under C. controversa canopies than under P. grayana canopies; the frequencies also increased with time after germination. These results suggest that overstory tree species strongly influences the endophytic fungal communities of understory seedlings.
