Clar: A Novel Cluster Oriented Agent Based Routing Protocol for Manet
Authors: Sinha Ditipriya , Bhattacharya Uma , Chaki Rituparna 
Published: February 2013

Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel algorithm CLAR to build an agent based routing protocol using ACO technique in cluster based mobile ad-hoc networks. Clustering makes possible hierarchical routing in which paths are recorded between cluster-heads instead of nodes. This reduces routing overheads. Presence of an unstable and non-reliable cluster-head degrades the performance of the network since cluster-heads of the network take active role in routing messages between a source destination pair. The proposed algorithm chooses the most reliable and stable node as cluster-head depending on four criteria i.e.: stability, battery power, degree, and trust value of the node. It also uses a multiagent based routing algorithm to generate load balanced routes between source and destination in cluster-based network. Performance of CLAR is compared with other existing efficient algorithms such as AODV, CBRP, Wu & Li’s Algorithm, dominating set based clustering algorithms, agent-based algorithms named as SACO and MALBACO. Simulation results prove that the proposed protocol combines merits of both clustering approach and agent based approach and provides efficient packet delivery even in the presence of high load in the network

Authors: Hossain Md Mahfuz , Shaikh Mushfiq Hassan , Raihan Md Mahfuzur , Khan Md Asif Iqbal 
Published: February 2013

Background : Dimensions of teeth have been an excellent tool for determining clinically relevant aspects of dental aesthetics. Especially, the anterior teeth crown height and their mesio-distal widths are very important, because of their strategic anatomical position of being in the centre and in the front of the upper jaw. Objectives : The presented study was aimed to find the nominative data of the average anatomic crown height and mesio-distal width of maxillary central incisors of Bangladeshi population irrespective of age and sex. Methods : This observational study was carried out at Update dental college & Hospital. 110 typical extracted human maxillary central incisor teeth were collected randomly from the Oral Anatomy and Physiology Department of Update dental college and Sapporo dental college. Results : In this study it shows that maxillary central incisors average crown length is between 7.25  11.75 mm and the mean crown length is 10.37(SD±0.90) mm. The average mesio-distal width is between 9.00  13.00 mm and the mean mesio-distal width is 8.51 (SD±0.62) mm. Conclusions : Apart from other specific and objective parameters related to dental aesthetics, these values of mesio-distal width and the length of the maxillary central incisors mentioned in this study will serve as guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in restorative dentistry, orthodontics and periodontal surgeries.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/updcj.v2i1.13954 Update Dent.

Exploring the Myth of the Proper Writer: Jenny Diski, Montaigne and Coleridge
Authors: Eldelin Emma 
Published: February 2013

Encadré par deux citations de la tradition littéraire occidentale, cet article examine le dialogue changeant entre l’auteur britannique Jenny Diski et deux précurseurs littéraires désignés comme tels par elle : Samuel Taylor Coleridge et Michel de Montaigne. Dans On Trying to Keep Still (2006), un texte littéraire non-fictionnel, Diski s’engage dans un voyage de deux mois afin de vivre dans une maison de campagne isolée dans les Quantock Hills du Somerset. Son objectif est de jouer le rôle de l’écrivain solitaire et autoréflexif, et d’explorer les espaces, l’imaginaire et le comportement qui y sont normalement associés. En racontant son expérience, Diski répond à un mythe clé de la période romantique, l’idée de l’inspiration solitaire de la nature, déjà préfigurée dans la solitude de l’écrivain de la Renaissance dans sa célèbre tour. Le but de l’article est d’illustrer comment le dialogue sert d’intégration dans une tradition culturelle, et de montrer comment la réplique de Diski est décrite de plusieurs points de vue, de l’appropriation affectueuse au rejet et à la renégociation, en passant par la réduction ironique.
Lettristes, situationnistes et terrorisme d’avant-garde
Authors: Zacarias Gabriel Ferreira 
Published: February 2013

Je travaillerai dans cet article sur trois groupes d’avant-garde qui se sont formés après la seconde guerre mondiale et dont le lien est donné par la figure de Guy Debord : le lettrisme, l’Internationale Lettriste et l’Internationale Situationniste. Mon objectif est de montrer comment les notions de « terreur » et « terrorisme » sont directement évoquées par ces groupes dans la formulation de leurs projets afin de marquer leur position dans le champ artistique qui se réorganise dans l’après-guerre.
Seasonal patterns in the structure of epigeic beetle (Coleoptera) assemblages in two subarctic habitats in Nunavut, Canada
Authors: Ernst C.M. , Buddle C.M. 
Published: February 2013

AbstractSeasonal patterns in the taxonomic and functional structure of epigeic Coleoptera assemblages in wet and mesic habitats were studied in Kugluktuk, Nunavut, Canada. Using pan and pitfall traps, 2638 beetles were collected between 21 June and 13 August 2010. Fifty species (including 17 new territory records) in 11 families were identified. The biomass of each specimen was estimated, and each was assigned to a functional group. Species composition differed between habitats throughout the active season and there was a rapid compositional turnover even though species diversity was similar in both habitats and among sampling periods. The functional beetle assemblages in the two habitats were different, and both assemblages experienced seasonal turnover in function; this effect was more pronounced in the mesic habitats. The beetle fauna in both habitats was predominantly entomophagous. We also examined the influence of seasonal weather patterns on assemblage structure: there is a significant relationship between mean daily temperature and assemblage structure. This relationship indicates that changes in weather (or longer-term changes in climate) could affect the diversity and ecological function of insects in this system. Given the significance of insects in the north, this could result in important changes to northern ecology.
Secondary prophylaxis in an adult patient with severe haemophilia A
Authors: Schubert C. , Schlenkrich S. 
Published: February 2013

SummaryPrimary prophylaxis has been proven as the gold standard for preserving joint function in severe haemophilia. Secondary prophylaxis in children has also been shown to have a more beneficial effect on joint protection as on-demand treatment. The outcome of delayed secondary prophylaxis started in adulthood is rarely studied. The case of a man (age: 47 years) with severe haemophilia A demonstrates the successful switch from on-demand therapy to prophylaxis with sub-sequent reduction of annual bleeding rate and number of days of work lost. The small increase of factor VIII consumption (16%) and the decrease of bleeding rate are compared with data from two recently published prospective studies.An optimal dosing schedule needs to be discussed and larger and longer prospective studies targeting the benefits of secondary prophylaxis with factor VIII started in adulthood are necessary.
Using Ajax to Empower Dynamic Searchinb
Authors: Wusteman Judith , O'hlceadha Padraig 
Published: February 2013

The use of Ajax, or Asynchronous JavaScript + XML, can result in Web applications that demonstrate the flexibility, responsiveness, and usability traditionally found only in desktop software. To illustrate this, a repository metasearch user interface, OJAX, has been developed. OJAX is simple, unintimidating but powerful. It attempts to minimize upfront user investment and provide immediate dynamic feedback, thus encouraging experimentation and enabling enactive learning. This article introduces the Ajax approach to the development of interactive Web applications and discusses its implications. It then describes the OJAX user interface and illustrates how it can transform the user experience.
Visualizations for Digital Libraries
Authors: Wan Gang 
Published: February 2013

The concept of digital libraries is familiar to both librarians and library patrons today. These new libraries have broken the limits of space and distance by delivering information in various formats via the Internet. Since most digital libraries contain a colossal amount of information, it is critical to design more user-friendly interfaces to explore, understand, and manage their content. One important technique for designing such interfaces is information visualization. Although computer-aided information visualization is a relatively new research area, numerous visualization applications already exist in various fields today. Furthermore, many library professionals are also starting to realize that combining information visualization techniques and current library technologies, such as digital libraries, can help library users find information more effectively and efficiently. This article first discusses three major tasks that most visualization for digital libraries emphasize, and then introduces several current applications of information visualization for digital libraries.
Digitizing the Non-Digital: Creating a Global Context for Events, Artifacts, Ideas, and Information
Authors: MacPherson Deborah L. 
Published: February 2013

This paper discusses some of the problems associated with search and digital-rights management in the emerging age of interconnectivity. An open-source system called Context Driven Topologies (CDT) is proposed to create one global context of geography, knowledge domains, and Internet addresses, using centralized spatial databases, geometry, and maps. The same concept can be described by different words, the same image can be interpreted a thousand ways by every viewer, but mathematics is a set of rules to ensure that certain relationships or sequences will be precisely regenerated. Therefore, unlike most of today’s digital records, CDTs are based on mathematics first, images second, words last. The aim is to permanently link the highest quality events, artifacts, ideas, and information into one record documenting the quickest paths to the most relevant information for specific data, users, and tasks. A model demonstration project using CDT to organize, search, and place information in new contexts while protecting the authors’ intent is also introduced.

Strong Copyright + DRM + Weak Net Neutrality = Digital Dystopia?
Authors: Bailey Jr. Charles W. 
Published: February 2013

Three critical issues—a dramatic expansion of the scope, duration, and punitive nature of copyright laws; the ability of Digital Rights Management (DRM) systems to lock-down digital content in an unprecedented fashion; and the erosion of Net neutrality, which ensures that all Internet traffic is treated equally—are examined in detail and their potential impact on libraries is assessed. How legislatures, the courts, and the commercial marketplace treat these issues will strongly influence the future of digital information for good or ill.
Machine Assistance in Collection Building: New Tools, Research, Issues, and Reflections
Authors: Mitchell Steve 
Published: February 2013

Digital tool making offers many challenges, involving much trial and error. Developing machine learning and assistance in automated and semi-automated Internet resource discovery, metadata generation, and rich-text identification provides opportunities for great discovery, innovation, and the potential for transformation of the library community. The areas of computer science involved, as applied to the library applications addressed, are among that discipline’s leading edges. Making applied research practical and applicable, through placement within library/collection-management systems and services, involves equal parts computer scientist, research librarian, and legacy-systems archaeologist. Still, the early harvest is there for us now, with a large harvest pending. Data Fountains and iVia, the projects discussed, demonstrate this. Clearly, then, the present would be a good time for the library community to more proactively and significantly engage with this technology and research, to better plan for its impacts, to more proactively take up the challenges involved in its exploration, and to better and more comprehensively guide effort in this new territory. The alternative to doing this is that others will develop this territory for us, do it not as well, and sell it back to us at a premium. Awareness of this technology and its current capabilities, promises, limitations, and probable major impacts needs to be generalized throughout the library management, metadata, and systems communities. This article charts recent work, promising avenues for new research and development, and issues the library community needs to understand.

MetaSearching and Beyond: Implementation Experiences and Advice from an Academic Library
Authors: Herrera Gail 
Published: February 2013

In March 2003 the University of Mississippi Libraries made our MetaSearch tool publicly available. After a year of working with this product and integrating it into the library Web site, a wide variety of libraries interested in our implementation process and experiences began to call. Libraries interested in this product have included consortia, public, and academic libraries in the United States, Mexico, and Europe. This article was written in an effort to share the recommendations and concerns given. Much of the advice is general and could be applied to many of the MetaSearch tools available. Google Scholar and other open Web initiatives that could impact the future of MetaSearching are also discussed.
Wikis in Libraries
Authors: Bejune Matthew 
Published: February 2013

Wikis have recently been adopted to support a variety of collaborative activities within libraries. This article and its companion wiki, LibraryWikis (http://librarywikis.pbwiki.com/), seek to document the phenomenon of wikis in libraries. This subject is considered within the framework of computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). The author identified thirty-three library wikis and developed a classification schema with four categories: (1) collaboration among libraries (45.7 percent); (2) collaboration among library staff (31.4 percent); (3) collaboration among library staff and patrons (14.3 percent); and (4) collaboration among patrons (8.6 percent). Examples of library wikis are presented within the article, as is a discussion for why wikis are primarily utilized within categories I and II and not within categories III and IV. It is clear that wikis have great utility within libraries, and the author urges further application of wikis in libraries.

Published: February 2013

The goal of the technology brief is to familiarize library decision-makers with the opportunities and challenges of participatory networks. In order to accomplish this goal the brief is divided into four sections (excluding an overview and a detailed statement of goal):

a conceptual framework for understanding and evaluating participatory networks;
a discussion of key concepts and technologies in participatory networks drawn primarily from Web 2.0 and Library 2.0;
a merging of the conceptual framework with the technological discussion to present a roadmap for library systems development; and
a set of recommendations to foster greater discussion and action on the topic of participatory networks and, more broadly, participatory librarianship.

This summary will highlight the discussions in each of these four topics. For consistency, the section numbers and titles from the full brief are used.

Discovering the Library with Google Earth
Authors: Brenner Michaela 
Published: February 2013

Libraries need to provide attractive and exciting discovery tools to draw patrons to the valuable resources in their catalogs. The authors conducted a pilot project to explore the free version of Google Earth as such a discover tool for Portland State Library’s digital collection of urban planning documents. They created eye-catching placemarks with links to parts of this collection, as well as to other pertinent materials like books, images, and historical background information. The detailed how-to-do part of this article is preceded by a discussion about discovery of library materials and followed by possible applications of this Google Earth project.
MyLibrary: A Digital Library Framework and Toolkit
Authors: Morgan Eric Lease 
Published: February 2013

This article describes a digital library framework and toolkit called MyLibrary. At its heart, MyLibrary is designed to create relationships between information resources and people. To this end, MyLibrary is made up of essentially four parts: (1) information resources, (2) patrons, (3) librarians, and (4) a set of locally defined, institution-specific facet/term combinations interconnecting the first three. On another level, MyLibrary is a set of object-oriented Perl modules intended to read and write to a specifically shaped relational database. Used in conjunction with other computer applications and tools, MyLibrary provides a way to create and support digital library collections and services. Librarians and developers can use MyLibrary to create any number of digital library applications: full-text indexes to journal literature, a traditional library catalog complete with circulation, a database-driven website, an institutional repository, an image database, etc. The article describes each of these points in greater detail.
Returning Classification to the Catalog
Authors: Bland Robert N. , Stoffan Mark A. 
Published: February 2013

The concept of a classified catalog, or using classification as a form of subject access, has been almost forgotten by contemporary librarians. Recent developments indicate that this is changing as libraries seek to enhance the capabilities of their online catalogs. The Western North Carolina Library Network (WNCLN) has developed a “classified browse” feature for its shared online catalog that makes use of Library of Congress classification. While this feature is not expected to replace keyword searching, it offers both novice and experienced library users another way of identifying relevant materials.

The Efficient Storage of Text Documents in Digital Libraries
Authors: Skibiński Przemyslaw , Swacha Jakub 
Published: February 2013

In this paper we investigate the possibility of improving the efficiency of data compression, and thus reducing storage requirements, for seven widely used text document formats. We propose an open-source text compression software library, featuring an advanced word-substitution scheme with static and semidynamic word dictionaries. The empirical results show an average storage space reduction as high as 78 percent compared to uncompressed documents, and as high as 30 percent compared to documents compressed with the free compression software gzip.
