Effects of Altered Stock Assessment Frequency on the Management of a Large Coastal Shark
Authors: Peterson Cassidy D. , Wilberg Michael J. , Cortés Enric , Courtney Dean L. , Latour Robert J. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Stock assessments are particularly resource intensive processes. Demand for assessments typically exceeds capacity, stimulating interest in reducing stock assessment frequency for suitable species. Species with slow population growth rates, low economic importance, and low recruitment variability, like coastal sharks in the USA, have been identified as appropriate candidates for long interim assessment periods. We conducted a Stock Synthesis–based management strategy evaluation with a threshold harvest rate control rule within the southeastern USA to assess the impact of stock assessment frequency for the slow growing Sandbar Shark Carcharhinus plumbeus. Stock assessments for the Sandbar Shark in the southeastern USA have been conducted or updated every 4–6 years since 1998. The Sandbar Shark proved to be a particularly good candidate species for reduced assessment frequency, as noted by unaffected management procedure performance across interim periods of 1, 5, and 10 years. Management objectives, including probability of stock recovery, relative biomass level, cumulative U.S. commercial catch, and probability of overfishing, were minimally adversely impacted with interim periods equal to 15 years. Based on our findings, assessment frequency for large coastal shark species could reasonably be reduced in the future to once every 10 or more years without compromising management success.
Utility of the 20‐Item Noise Pareidolia Task (NPT‐20) for Assessing Visuoperceptual Disturbances Associated with Complex Visual Hallucinations in Parkinson's Disease
Authors: Turner Travis H. , Rodriguez‐Porcel Federico 
Published: October 2022

ABSTRACTBackgroundComplex visual hallucinations (VH) are a common complication of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies have demonstrated relevance of face pareidolia to VH in PD and Lewy body dementia (LBD).ObjectiveThis study examined utility of the 20‐item Noise Pareidolia Task (NPT‐20) in assessing visuoperceptual disturbances associated with VH in PD.MethodsRetrospective chart review included 46 consecutive PD patients who completed NPT‐20 during clinical neuropsychological evaluation.ResultsAbout half the sample (43%) reported VH. PD with VH made significantly more false‐positive pareidolia errors on the NPT‐20 (p < 0.0001). A cut‐off of 2 errors yielded 40% sensitivity, 100% specificity to VH; cut‐off of 1 yielded 75% sensitivity, 81% specificity. NPT‐20 was not associated with any other clinical or demographic factor. Across groups, NPT‐20 evinced moderate correlations with visuospatial functioning and visual memory.ConclusionsCurrent findings support utility of the NPT‐20 for evaluating visuoperceptual disturbances associated with VH in PD.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThe analysis of positive nonlinear delayed systems is of great importance for many real‐world applications. Such systems' stability and stabilization assessment is still an open topic, and there is limited literature on this field. Moreover, further convergence conditions should be considered for many experimental processes, such as exponential stability analysis, which is highly important. Considering the above, we deal in this study with the problem of exponential stability and stabilization of nonlinear fuzzy positive systems with delay. We establish exponential stability criteria using Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional (LKF) and a delay bi‐decomposition approach for bounded and time‐varying delayed systems. The obtained results are then extended to the exponential stabilization case. The control law is designed using Parallel distributed compensation (PDC). The proposed approach, formulated in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), allows reducing the conservativeness of the delay‐dependent conditions. A comparative study is presented to illustrate the superiority of our method. Moreover, simulation results for the two tanks process show the advantages of the proposed control design.
Bipolar Electrochemistry – A Powerful Tool for Micro/Nano‐Electrochemistry
Authors: Wang Yu‐Ling , Cao Jun‐Tao , Liu Yan‐Ming 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe understanding of areas for “classical” electrochemistry (including catalysis, electrolysis and sensing) and bio‐electrochemistry at the micro/nanoscale are focus on the continued performance facilitations or the exploration of new features. In the recent 20 years, a different mode for driving electrochemistry has been proposed, which is called as bipolar electrochemistry (BPE). BPE has garnered attention owing to the interesting properties: (i) its wireless nature facilitates electrochemical sensing and high throughput analysis; (ii) the gradient potential distribution on the electrodes surface is a useful tool for preparing gradient surfaces and materials. These permit BPE to be used for modification and analytical applications on a micro/nanoscale surface. This review aims to introduce the principle and classification of BPE and BPE at micro/nanoscale; sort out its applications in electrocatalysis, electrosynthesis, electrophoresis, power supply and so on; explain the confined BPE and summarize its analytical application for single entities (single cells, single particles and single molecules), and discuss finally the important direction of micro/nanoscale BPE.
The interactive effects of drought and heat stress on photosynthetic efficiency and biochemical defense mechanisms ofAmaranthusspecies
Authors: Netshimbupfe Mmbulaheni Happiness , Berner Jacques , Gouws Chrisna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDrought and heat stress are major abiotic stress factors that limit photosynthesis and other related metabolic processes that hamper plant growth and productivity. Identifying plants that can tolerate abiotic stress conditions is essential for sustainable agriculture.Amaranthusplants can tolerate adverse weather conditions, especially drought and heat, and their leaves and grain are highly nutritious. Because of these traits, amaranth has been identified as a possible crop to be grown in marginal crop production systems. Therefore, this study investigated the photochemical and biochemical responses ofAmaranthus caudatus,Amaranthus hypochondriacus,Amaranthus cruentus, andAmaranthus spinosusto drought stress, heat shock treatments, and a combination of both. After the six‐leaf stage in a greenhouse, plants were subjected to drought stress, heat shock treatments, and a combination of both. Chlorophyllafluorescence was used to evaluate the photochemical responses of photosystem II to heat shock while subjected to drought stress. It was found that heat shock and a combination of drought and heat shock damages photosystem II, but the level of damage varies considerably between the species. We concluded thatA. cruentusandA. spinosusare more heat and drought‐tolerant thanAmaranthus caudatusandAmaranthus hypochondriacus.
Fabrication of multiwalled carbon nanotube‐reinforced rapeseed‐oil‐based polyurethane coatings for anticorrosive applications

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis work describes the synthesis of a hydroxy‐terminated oligomer for polyurethane preparation (HTO‐PU) from rapeseed oil, salicylic acid and toluene diisocyanate. HTO‐PU was further incorporated with different amounts of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) to produce HTO‐PU@MWCNT nanocomposites. These nanocomposites were then converted to coatings using mild steel strip as a substrate and allowed to cure at room temperature. Fourier transform infrared and NMR spectroscopic techniques were used for structural elucidation. Surface morphology was determined using scanning electron microscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Thermal stability (>300 °C) of these coatings was evaluated through thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry. Contact angle values suggest that incorporation of MWCNTs enhanced the hydrophobicity of HTO‐PU coatings. Physicomechanical results reveal that these coatings are highly glossy, scratch resistant and impact resistant possessing good adhesion and excellent pencil hardness. The optimum concentration of MWCNTs was found to be 1.0 wt. %, below and above which the coating performance was observed to deteriorate. The corrosion resistance and barrier properties of these coatings were examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, the results of which suggest excellent corrosion inhibition efficiency of HTO‐PU@MWCNT‐1.0 coatings until 28 days. This study suggests a step towards synthesis of MWCNT‐incorporated green PU coatings for protective applications. © 2022 Society of Industrial Chemistry.
“I only wish that I had had that growing up”: Understanding Webtoon’s Appeals and Characteristics as an Emerging Reading Platform
Authors: Cho Hyerim , Adkins Denice , Pham Ngoc‐Minh 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study investigates the readers of Korean webcomics, Webtoon, to understand their motivations for reading Webtoon, appeals of reading Webtoon, and any informal learning experiences Webtoon readers encounter. This study adopts reader behavior theories and media studies as the two main theoretical foundations; within these frameworks, the authors aim to understand a hybrid reading media platform, Webtoon, which has characteristics of both multimedia and conventional reading content. To understand Webtoon readers and their reading experiences, the focus group method was used. Findings show that Webtoon reading motivations include relaxation, emotional affirmation, creating an identity as a reader, aesthetic appreciation, and habitual reading. Webtoon’s unique format characteristics, ease of access, inclusivity, immersive experience with sound and music, and interactive communications among the authors and readers, are appreciated by readers. Lastly, Webtoon’s cultural differences sometimes lead readers to additional research on their parts, learning more about Korean history, food, or other popular culture. The authors further discuss the findings through the lenses of reader behavior & Readers’ Advisory theories, media studies, and information encountering theories.
Information Practices of Resistance during the 2022 Russian Invasion of Ukraine
Authors: Kouper Inna 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe paper examines information practices of five projects that emerged in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The projects are conceptualized as resistance projects, i.e., the initiatives that stand against misinformation, censorship, and the invasion itself. The study used virtual ethnography and discourse analysis to examine the projects' web presence and social media channels and the materials about them. The paper describes the driving forces behind the projects, the technologies they use, and their information‐related practices. The latter include information gathering, dissemination and mediation, extralinguistic communication, support and advice, and mobilization. One of the first attempts to document Russian information resistance, this paper provides insight into information behavior under oppressive conditions. It broadens the theorizing of misinformation and disinformation by shifting the focus from algorithmic countermeasures to misinformation, such as detecting bots or fake news, to human‐centered activism.
Transforming the Scholarly Publishing Lindworm
Authors: Marcaccio Alexandra C. , Centivany Alissa 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTransformative Agreements [“TA”]—contracts for academic publication premised on an initial term of restricted access followed by a switch, often many years later, to Open Access—are increasingly promoted by publishers and, to a lesser extent, academic institutions, as a means of achieving a future reality where our shared fount of cultural, intellectual, and scientific works are openly accessible for all to read. Supporters of TA laud benefits like transparency, streamlined costs for libraries, and investments in the future of Open Access. We find, however, that TA reproduce, rather than relieve or transform, existing challenges facing Open Access and we invoke King Lindworm, a fairytale about transformation as a metaphor to assist understandings of how TA might fall short of their purported aim.
Storied Past, Bright Future: A Provenance Jam Session
Authors: Bettivia Rhiannon , Cheng Yi‐Yun , Gryk Michael , Bishop Wade , Chassanoff Alexandra , Greenberg Jane , Lischer‐Katz Zack 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis panel will explore provenance of the past, present, and future in information science and technology, as both a concept and professional and intellectual value. The OED defines “provenance” as origin, source, ownership of an artwork, or guidance to determine authenticity. Provenance today is not limited to history domains. It can be used to describe what did happen (retrospective provenance), what will happen (prospective provenance), and what could happen (subjunctive provenance). Provenance transcends disciplines, and this panel is intended for anyone who is interested in the world of provenance. Perhaps echoing life in general, provenance is more about the journey than the destination. The goal of the panel is not to find an authoritative answer to why we choose one method or theory of provenance over another. Rather, this “jam session” will empower participants‐ panelists, moderators, and audiences alike‐ to frame and answer provenance questions for their own work.
Cross‐cultural Information Access

Published: October 2022

AbstractDespite the advanced information technology's impact on the extent and availability of digital information, information access is not equally attainable to everyone. The lack of cultural and linguistic diversity in information systems and infrastructure has raised concerns over limited access to digital information, which also harms the information environment. For example, a flood of misinformation and disinformation during the pandemic rendered misrepresentation of cultures and fed the fear of people from different cultures. The “deep learning” revolution has enabled advances in cross‐language search technology and in automated translation of content from one language to another, but the lowering of linguistic barriers to information access, in turn, serves to highlight the need for a comparable degree of focus on cultural differences. The proposed panel will discuss cultural and linguistic diversity as manifested in various information systems and infrastructures and review past and current information systems and practices either lacking or supporting cultural and linguistic diversity.

Authors: Dickey Timothy J. , Dobreski Brian , Hlava Marjorie , Needleman Mark , Xie Iris , Zeng Marcia L. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis panel, sponsored by the ASIS&T Standards Committee, will explore how information standards, guidelines, best practices, and efforts for increasing the accessibility and usability of information resources can contribute to an information‐resilient society. It will start with by addressing several new standard efforts for web accessibility in the data‐driven age led by the W3, including mobile accessibility, cognitive accessibility, and inaccessibility examinations. A special report will then be given by the leader of an IMLS‐funded project on the newly published Digital Library Accessibility and Usability Guidelines that support blind and visually impaired users who rely on screen readers to interact with digital libraries. A case study on Video/Audio to Text to Tagging will be presented, revealing the best practices on translating audio files to time stamped text transcripts for indexing, classifying, and enriching the original content. A final open discussion on “inclusivity” will involve the audience, to highlight the needs, challenges, and standards for enabling inclusivity and ensuring that everyone who faces accessibility barriers due to disability, literacy, digital literacy, or aging, can access, use, and participate in the Internet and all its information.

Censorship Is Not a Panacea: Access To Information in a Resilient Society
Authors: Oltmann Shannon M. , Knox Emily J. M. , Mabi Millicent N. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractInformation resiliency is a difficult idea to conceptualize, though it seems to include resistance to mis‐ and dis‐information, algorithmic injustices, and filter bubbles. A possible solution to these information challenges and the current “infodemic” is to restrict access to and circulation of certain information. Social media platforms, in particular, have an extraordinarily wide reach in contemporary society. While compelling these platforms to restrict information may be appealing, at first glance, there are inherent problems of power and control bound up in the suggestion of censorship (or, as it is sometimes framed, content moderation). Rules about permitted speech can be wielded in ways that increase harm to already marginalized populations. In this panel, we discuss these ideas and debate the merits of restricting access to information via social media content moderation. We anticipate a robust discussion with attendees

Published: October 2022

AbstractIn order to help adolescents cope with loneliness during the social distancing and isolation imposed by the COVID‐19 pandemic, we designed a conversational agent programmed to distract users from negative thoughts and advise them on strategies to improve their wellbeing. In order to assess the effects of the agent intervention on adolescent participants, we performed quantitative analysis of their self‐reported mood states and qualitative analysis of their subjective views and opinions on the agent to help us understand their experiences. Trends in the quantitative data point to minimal changes in participants' wellbeing and loneliness after interactions with the experimental agent. However, qualitative data on adolescent experiences suggests short and long‐term positive effects of the experimental interactions. In reporting our findings, we aim to bring attention to the importance of the qualitative data for understanding human experiences with technology, as well as the limitations of the instruments developed in the field of psychology for human‐information interaction research.
Designing Community Tracking Indicators for Open and Inclusive Scholarship
Authors: Altman Micah 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThere is evidence that scholarly processes have bias and create barriers to inclusion; more openness in scholarly communication is needed. Progress towards a better scholarly ecosystem requires comparable, reliable measures of the desired attributes of a better system. This paper describes an initiative in progress to produce standardized indicators that describe the volume and types of open science output systematically over time, using existing open data sources. We describe a replicable to clean, integrate, code, and analyze these sources to enable continuous publication of indicators. And we report on early results from this initiative, demonstrating how these indicators can go beyond “overall impact” measures to advance the understanding of who is, and who is not, participating in open scholarship.
