Library Usage Study, the How and What: A Survey of Space Usage at a Mid-Sized Research Library
Authors: Nichols Aaron , Philbin Paul 
Published: December 2022

Objective – The research was conducted to understand better how and what spaces are used in a mid-size academic library. Also, the authors were interested in their users' spatial likes and dislikes and why they gravitated to or avoided specific spaces or floors. The authors also found an opportunity to examine recent renovations that added a connector bridge to a first-year student dorm and the subsequent increase in foot traffic to evaluate its success in meeting users' needs for varied and productive study spaces across the building.
Methods – The study used a survey to gauge user satisfaction with the library's space and environment for research, study, and collaborative work. The authors hand-distributed a survey with five multiple-choice and three open-response questions to users over three days (Monday-Wednesday) between 10 am - 4 pm, the busiest days and times in a typical week. The collected surveys were sorted and coded in an Excel spreadsheet and uploaded and analyzed in JMP Pro.
Results – The 298 completed responses came from undergraduate students (n=281) who visited the first floor, identified as a collaborative study space (n=144). Respondents showed that they visit the library daily (58%, n=173) and weekly (34%, n=104). Most of the survey participants (98%, n=293) indicated that they pursued academic work in quiet spaces they occupied (75%, n=224). Interestingly enough, the noisiest and quietest floors are the areas most avoided, the first floor-collaborative, noisiest space (54%, n=161) and the third floor-designated as quiet space (18%, n=55). The final survey question invited the respondents to "sound off," with 135 responding; 107 (79%) of them opined on improvements to existing study spaces within the library.
Conclusion – This research demonstrated that students value the library as a place to study but are critical of excessive noise and overcrowding in the designated collaborative study areas. Academic libraries should consider balance when designing library study spaces. Librarians and space designers should strive to strike an appropriate balance between seating quality and quantity, acceptable noise levels in designated collaborative and quiet study spaces, and the impacts of environmental factors such as printers, food services, exhibits, art displays, restrooms, and walkways through library study spaces within the library.

Cuniculture au pâturage et sous certification Agriculture Biologique en France : fonctionnement des systèmes, performances et règlementation
Authors: GIDENNE Thierry , SAVIETTO Davi , FORTUN-LAMOTHE Laurence , HUANG Yayu 
Published: December 2022

En France, l’élevage cunicole conventionnel est réalisé en système hors-sol (environ 700 éleveurs). La cuniculture alternative avec accès des lapins à l'extérieur, est essentiellement sous certification « Agriculture Biologique » (AB) reste marginale (environ 50 cuniculteurs) et ne produit pas suffisamment pour répondre à la demande des consommateurs. Nous faisons ici la synthèse des connaissances sur le fonctionnement et les performances des systèmes cunicoles AB ou au pâturage. Le lapin étant un animal herbivore, la cuniculture AB privilégie le pâturage, et bien maîtrisée elle peut rémunérer un demi SMIC avec 40 lapines reproductrices sur 4 ha (pâtures et cultures complémentaires). Pour les porteurs de projet, outre l'accès à la terre, la gestion de la prophylaxie et de l'alimentation sont deux contraintes fortes des systèmes cunicoles AB. Le nouveau règlement Européen, applicable depuis janvier 2022, préconise l'utilisation maximale du pâturage mais, de façon contradictoire, permet d'installer un troupeau de 40 lapines sur seulement 200 m² de pâturage et n'oblige pas à une rotation des parcs entre deux groupes d'animaux, ce qui élève le risque de parasitisme. Les récentes études ont quantifié l’ingestion d'herbe (30 à 80 g MS/jour/lapin) et la croissance du lapin au pâturage (15 à 25 g/jour). Le cycle productif d'un atelier cunicole AB est extensif avec une moyenne de 2,7 mise bas par lapine et par an (contre 6,7 en système hors sol). Une application smartphone d'assistance à la conduite d'élevage (GAELA) a été récemment développée pour construire un référentiel de performances permettant de soutenir le développement de la cuniculture AB ou au pâturage.
Structured Troubleshooting and Novel Reviving Techniques for Unconventional Gas Lift Wells in the Delaware Basin
Authors: Basic Tomislav , Visser Johannes 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Delaware Basin main form of artificial lift is gas lift due to the higher gas oil ratio. The lift gas used is processed gas that still has a high yield associated with it. As a result, condensate drop out occurs in the gas lift lines to the wells and can cause operational problems, including gas lift valve sticking, tubing casing communication and erosional damage. The well in turn stops flowing due to well/tubing integrity concerns and artificial lift equipment impacts, reducing the lift efficiency of the gas lift system.
Aiming to reduce rig intervention frequency, procedures have been developed to assist production recovery of the impacted wells by cleaning out the valve internals from sand and deposits through steps that become increasingly more intrusive. Starting with rocking the well, condensate flushes and use of condensate to help unload the wells.
The troubleshooting procedures have reduced the need for intervention with a rig for up to 50% of wells that show tubing casing communication or have low lift efficiency due to shallow gas injection. The condensate unloading lift procedure developed by Chevron in the Delaware Basin has been determined to have success for wells with reservoir pressure above 3000 psig to help kick off wells.
Following a structured troubleshooting approach enables a more cost-effective rejuvenation for wells struggling to flow. Following a structured troubleshooting process with defined roles & responsibilities the intervention costs have been reduced and resulted in equipment optimization and metallurgy selection improvements.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
This paper proposes a modified sperm swarm optimization (MSSO) technique for automatic load frequency control (ALFC) of bio and renewable energy (RE) integrated Microgird (MG) system. A chaotic search based on a one-dimensional (1D) chaotic map is adopted to intensify the exploitation and exploration characteristics of sperm swarm optimization algorithm. The proposed MSSO technique is used to tune the gains of proportional integral derivative controller to regulate the frequency of MG system through minimization of integral time absolute error of frequency deviation. The effectiveness of the technique is evaluated in terms of steady state and transient performance indices for the response of frequency and power deviation. In addition, to validate the robustness, a sensitivity analysis is carried out under varying load condition, change in system parameter, and real-time variation in RE sources. The results obtained for the aforementioned cases show that the proposed MSSO tuned technique outperforms other techniques (Salp swarm algorithm, Particle swarm optimization, and sperm swarm optimization) in terms of steady state and transient indices. The real-time implementation of proposed controller for MG system is validated in Hardware-in-loop analysis with its stability analysis in frequency domain.

Abstract
This study compares three types of activated carbon (AC) prepared from agri-food waste: olive pomace (ACOP), date pits (ACDP) and argan shells (ACAS), collected from different regions of Morocco, for the removal of the organic pollutant methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solutions. The three ACs were used after carbonization of their precursors at 900°C for 2 hours followed by chemical activation with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) with a weight ratio of 1:2. A quantity of 0.06g of each prepared activated carbon in contact with MO solution with a concentration of 10mg/L for 30 minutes respectively showed a removal efficiency of 93.87% for ACAS followed by 91.83% for ACDP and finally 89.79% for ACOP. This could be attributed to the BET specific surface area of the prepared activated carbons which is 475 m²/g for ACAS, 440 m²/g for ACDP and 361 m²/g for ACOP, as well as to the physicochemical analyses by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) which showed the presence of rough surfaces with more pores for ACAS and chemical bonds O-H, C-O, C = O, CO-O-CO and C-C on the three activated carbons. The kinetic study and isothermal analysis indicated that the adsorption data follow a pseudo-second order model and the adsorption results follow the Langmuir model.
A Study of China's Industrial CO2 Emission Reduction Path in the Context of "Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals"
Authors: Zhang Enying , Song Hanze 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Based on the measurement of industrial carbon dioxide emissions in China's provincial regions from 2005 to 2020 using the IPCC accounting method, the Kaya-LMDI factor decomposition model was used to factorize carbon dioxide emissions, decomposing industrial carbon dioxide emissions into four drivers: energy structure, energy intensity, economic scale effect and population scale effect, and then based on the decomposed drivers Then, a panel regression is conducted using the STIRPAT econometric model, and the results of the two models are integrated and discussed at the level of the four major economic regions of China and each province of China respectively, and finally, a regionally differentiated industrial carbon emission reduction path in China is proposed. According to the empirical results: there are significant differences in China's industrial carbon dioxide emissions at present, the stages of emission reduction vary, and the impact of each factor on carbon emissions varies and persists in the long term, therefore, each region should explore its own regional industrial carbon emission reduction path according to local conditions, and bring into play China's regional linkage to coordinate and drive the national industrial carbon emission reduction task smoothly, and realize the economy under the strategy of high-quality economic development and In order to achieve the decoupling of economic and carbon emissions under the strategy of high-quality economic development, we should develop low-carbon technologies and energy transformation under the perspective of different drivers, and integrate industrial carbon emission reduction into the national strategy of building a new development pattern, so as to achieve the overall requirement of " Carbon Peaking and Carbon Neutrality Goals " and lead the international community in low-carbon development.

Abstract
With the ever increasing speed of the digitization process, a large collection of Ottoman documents is accessible to researchers and the general public. But, the majority of the users interested in these documents can not read these documents unless they are transcripted to the modern Turkish script which use an extended version of the Latin alphabet. Manual transcription of such a massive amount of documents is beyond the capacity of human experts. As a solution, we propose an automatic recognition system for printed Ottoman documents which transcribes Ottoman texts directly to the modern Turkish script. We evaluated three decoding strategies including the Word Beam Search decoder that allows to use a recognition lexicon and n-gram statistics during the decoding phase. The system achieves 2.25% character error rate and 6.42% word error rate on a test set of 1.4K samples, using the test set transcriptions as the recognition lexicon. Using a general purpose, large lexicon of the Ottoman era (260K words and 77% test coverage), the performance is measured as 3.68% character error rate and 16.61% word error rate.

Abstract
Introduction and Objectives
The Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol for radical cystectomy aims to facilitate postoperative recovery and hasten a return to normal daily activities. This study aims to report on the perioperative outcomes of implementation of an ERAS protocol at a single Australian institution.
Methods
We identified 73 patients with pT1 – T4 bladder cancer who underwent open radical cystectomy at Western Health, Victoria between June 2016 and August 2021. A retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database was performed. Perioperative outcomes assessed include length of hospital and ICU stay, nasogastric tube requirement and duration of postoperative ileus.
Results
The median age was 74 years (IQR 66 to 78) for the ERAS group and 70 years (IQR 65 to 78) for the non-ERAS group patients. All patients in each group underwent ileal conduit formation. The median length of hospital stay was 7.0 days (IQR 7.0 to 9.3) for the ERAS group and 12.0 days (IQR 8.0 to 16.0) for the non-ERAS group (p = 0.003). Within the ERAS group, 25% had a postoperative ileus, and 25% had a nasogastric tube inserted, compared with 65% (p = 0.001) and 46% (p = 0.063) respectively within non-ERAS group. The median duration from surgery to first bowel motion was 5.0 days (IQR 4.0 to 6.0) in the ERAS group and 7.5 days (IQR 4.0 to 8.0) in the non-ERAS group (p = 0.016).
Conclusions
Implementation of an ERAS protocol is associated with a reduction in hospital length of stay, postoperative ileus and bowel function recovery time.

Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is becoming a challenging global health concern with Asian and African countries carrying the highest burden of it. The rising prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) associated HCC is linked with unhealthy dietary patterns and sedentary life styles. In addition, genetic predisposition may play a critical role in developing NASH-related HCC. Previous studies have identified that variants in patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3), transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2 (TM6SF2) and membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 7 (MBOAT7) genes are significantly associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) pathogenicity among different populations. But there are no published reports on their impact on Sri Lankan NASH-HCC patients.
Methods: We conducted an exploratory study to evaluate the prevalence of five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (PNPLA3 rs738409, PNPLA3rs2281135, PNPLA3 rs2294918, TM6SF2 rs58542926 and MBOAT7 rs641738) as genetic risk factors for NASH-HCC pathogenicity. We genotyped 48 NASH-HCC samples that were collected at a clinical setting and analyzed using statistical modelling to explore the impact of each SNP with tumor prognostic factors.
Results: We observed high frequencies in four out of five polymorphisms, namely PNPLA3 rs738409 (0.79, 95%CI 0.650-0.895), PNPLA3 rs2281135 (0.77, 95%CI 0.627-0.880), PNPLA3 rs2294918 (0.9, 95%CI 0.773-0.965) and MBOAT7rs641738 (0.85, 95%CI 0.722-0.939) among Sri Lankan NASH-HCC patients. Our analyses further demonstrated significant associations of PNPLA3variants with a total tumor diameter of NASH-HCC patients while PNPLA3 rs2294918 and MBOAT7 rs641738 had significant associations with single-nodular HCC. Of the five SNPs, we observed a strong correlation between PNPLA3 rs738409 and PNPLA3 rs2294918 through pairwise linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis.
Conclusion: Observed high frequencies of risk alleles among genotyped SNPs warrants the possibility of genetic predisposition as a risk factor for NASH-related HCC in the Sri Lankan setting.
