title: Raised By Wolves: The New Generation of Feral Professionals in the Academic Library
Creators: name: Neal, James G.

Subjects: Library science

description: "Academic libraries are expanding the employment of individuals in professional assignments who do not have the basic traditional qualifying credential, the master’s degree in library science. This includes the hiring of staff with advanced degrees in subject disciplines, with specialized foreign language skills, with teaching experience, or with technology expertise, for example, into librarian positions. This includes a wide range of new professional assignments in such areas as systems, human resources, fundraising, publishing, instructional technology, and facilities management, for example, that demand diverse educational backgrounds. This includes the continuing transfer of responsibilities formerly carried out by librarians to support staff and student employees. In addition, there is a new cohort of MLS librarians who have received their degrees through distance rather than residential programs. What are the implications of these trends for the academic library workforce and for the condition of the academic library workplace?" -- page 302

description: Hydryphantidae Piersig, 1896  Diagnosis: Dorsal plate (Dp) of unengorged larvae rather small, covering less than one third of the length of the idiosoma and bearing 2 or 4 pairs of propodosomal setae; lateral eyes on each side lying separately in the soft integument; humeral, hysterosomal and ventral setae often borne on platelets of different extent, the platelets sometimes being barely visible; coxal plates I to III rather small, separate and with 3 or 4 pairs of coxal setae; cheliceral bases separated from each other; palpal claw single or bifurcate; legs I to III six­segmented and each leg with three claws of which the lateral claws are extremely thin; distal segments of legs I to III very narrow distally.
Remarks: Since the presence of the dorsal plate has obviously been overlooked in past descriptions of many hydryphantoid larvae (e.g. Lundblad 1927; Biesiadka & Cichocka 1984; Ullrich 1976; Martin 2000), it remains open whether the presence of a Dp is actually a family­specific character of the Hydryphantidae.
Because of the few accurate descriptions of larvae within the family, at present, a diagnosis can be given neither for subfamilies nor for genera of the Hydryphantidae.

description: Diese Masterarbeit thematisiert das Ereignis Lehrvertragsauflösung aus der Perspektive von betroffenen Eltern. Sie gewährt einen Einblick in das subjektive Erleben und die Art und Weise, wie Eltern ein solches Ereignis bewältigen. Zudem werden verschiedene Unterstützungsangebote thematisiert und die Erfahrungen damit untersucht. Mit der vorliegenden Arbeit wird aufgezeigt, wie Eltern bzw. Familien im Prozess einer Lehrvertragsauflösung gezielt unterstützt werden können. Als Instrument für die Praxis wurde eine Übersicht mit konkreten Hinweisen für Beratungen im Zusammenhang mit Lehrvertragsauflösungen entwickelt. Die theoretischen Grundlagen umfassen wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse zu den Themenfeldern Lehrvertragsauflösung (im Kontext der ersten Berufswahl), Stress und Stressbewältigung. Letztere wird zuerst isoliert betrachtet, danach in den Kontext der Familie gesetzt. Den Abschluss des Theorieteils bildet ein kurzer Überblick über verschiedene Beratungsangebote im Kanton Bern. Die Ergebnisse der Untersuchung zeigen auf, dass Eltern eine sehr zentrale Rolle im Zusammenhang mit einer Lehrvertragsauflösung beigemessen wird. Diese anspruchsvolle Aufgabe geht nicht spurlos an ihnen vorbei: Für viele von ihnen ist diese Phase mit einer grossen Belastung und der Wahrnehmung von Stresssymptomen verbunden. Zur Bewältigung dieser Stresssituation kommen vielfältige Strategien zum Einsatz. Jedoch dienen nicht alle dazu, den Stress tatsächlich zu vermindern.

description: We study the coefficient of performance (COP) and its bounds of the Canot-like refrigerator working between two heat reservoirs at constant temperatures $T_h$ and $T_c$, under two optimization criteria $χ$ and $Ω$. In view of the fact that an "adiabatic" process takes finite time and is nonisentropic, the nonadiabatic dissipation and the finite time required for the "adiabatic" processes are taken into account. For given optimization criteria, we find that the lower and upper bounds of the COP are the same as the corresponding ones obtained from the previous idealized models where any adiabatic process undergoes instantaneously with constant entropy. When the dissipations of two "isothermal" and two "adiabatic" processes are symmetric, respectively, our theoretical predictions match the observed COP's of real refrigerators more closely than the ones derived in the previous models, providing a strong argument in favor of our approach.

description: We discuss the application of the chiral N3LO forces to three-nucleon reactions and point to the challenges which will have to be addressed. Present approaches to solve three-nucleon Faddeev equations are based on a partial-wave decomposition. A rapid increase of the number of terms contributing to the chiral three-nucleon force when increasing the order of the chiral expansion from N2LO to N3LO forced us to develop a fast and effective method of automatized partial wave decomposition. At low energies of the incoming nucleon below about 20MeV, where only a limited number of partial waves is required, this method allowed us to perform calculations of reactions in the three-nucleon continuum using N3LO two- and three-nucleon forces. It turns out that inclusion of consistent chiral interactions, with relativistic 1/m corrections and short-range 2pi-contact term omitted in the N3LO three-nucleon force, does not explain the long standing low energy Ay-puzzle. We discuss problems arising when chiral forces are applied at higher energies, where large three-nucleon force effects are expected. It seems plausible that at higher energies, due to a rapid increase of a number of partial waves required to reach convergent results, a three-dimensional formulation of the Faddeev equations which avoids partial-wave decomposition is desirable.

Subjects: subject: 621.3 Electrical Engineering, Electronics

description: This work addresses the optimization of distributed compression in a sensor network. In particular, distributed sensors measure noisy versions of the same process of interest and try to forward their measurements over capacity-limited links to a common receiver. If direct communication among sensors is not possible, this setup is widely known as the CEO problem. This work focuses on an implementation point of view to solve this problem as well as an information-theoretic analysis of the proposed algorithms.

description: We investigate coherent control of single particles held in a bipartite optical lattice via a combined high-frequency modulation. Our analytical results show that for the photon resonance case the quantum tunneling and dynamical localization depend on the phase difference between the modulation components, which leads to a different route of the coherent destruction of tunneling and a simple method for stabilizing the system to implement the directed transport. The results could be referable for manipulating the transport characterization of the similar tilted and shaken optical or solid-state systems, and also can be extended to the many-particle systems.

Using coarse-grain molecular dynamics to build the gram-negative C.crescentus outer-membrane
Creators: name: Argüello Acuña, Mariadelia
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Gram-negative bacteria outer-membranes have always been an attractive field of study due to their high antibiotic resistance, precisely because the composition changes between species. We are interested in understanding the outer membrane of C.crescentus. Although experimental techniques have improved over the years to study OM, there are questions that still cannot be answered in an experimental workspace. Coarse-grain molecular dynamic simulations have become powerful tools for studying the complexity of the outer-membrane. CG models from E.coli and Mtb are available but not a C.crescentus version. We coarse-grained a complete OM C.crescentus. The RLPSc and SLPSc were CG using as the template the LPS E.coli. The BamA structure was obtained through homology modeling and later coarse-grained. To determine the stability of the BamA model, we ran a RMSD analysis. The area per LPS of C.crescentus membrane was calculated and compared to an E.coli membrane. This new C.crescentus CG model can be used to understand polymyxin resistance, OM permeability, and unfolded-protein stress response in C.crescentus.

 Remarks: The available descriptions of larval Sperchontidae do not allow genera diagnoses within the family. The formerly proposed differences between the genera Sperchonopsis and Sperchon (see Prasad & Cook 1972; Smith 1982) relating to characters of the chetotaxy and patterns of the Dp is no longer valid after the description of Sperchonopsis verrucosa (Protz, 1896) by Martin (2000).

description: The hot QCD matter produced in any heavy ion collision with a nonzero impact parameter is produced within a strong magnetic field. We study the imprint that these fields leave on the azimuthal distributions and correlations of the produced charged hadrons. The magnetic field is time-dependent and the medium is expanding, which leads to the induction of charged currents due to the combination of Faraday and Hall effects. We find that these currents result in a charge- dependent directed flow v1 that is odd in rapidity and odd under charge exchange. It can be detected by measuring correlations between the directed flow of charged hadrons at different rapidities, $\langle v_1^\pm(y_1)v_1^\pm(y_2)\rangle$.

description: A 15-year-old girl with a history of Kawasaki disease was admitted to our nephrological department due to acute renal failure. Despite antibiotic therapy because of fever and the symptoms of a pharyngitis in the last few days, the girl showed persisting fever and developed arthralgias, an exanthema and a rising serum creatinine as well as anuria. A wide variety of differential diagnoses has to be thought of because of the history of the Kawasaki disease (symptoms like fever, pharyngitis, exanthema and arthralgia), i.e. hemolytic-uremic syndrome, vasculitis, ascending infection, postinfection glomerulonephritis. In consideration of etiologically unclear "rapidly progressive renal failure" with anuria and thrombocytopenia an immediate renal biopsy was done and revealed a severe drug induced acute interstitial nephritis. Due to this diagnosis we treated the patient with corticosteroids. Within 4 weeks serum creatinine declined to 1.8 mg/dl but did not normalize.

description: In previous studies we have shown that hadrons, except for a pion, survive the removal of the lowest lying Dirac eigenmodes from the valence quark propagators. The low-modes are tied to the dynamical breaking of chiral symmetry and we found chiral symmetry to be restored by means of matching masses of chiral partners, like, e.g., the vector and axial vector currents. Here we investigate the influence of removing the lowest part of the Dirac spectrum on the locality of the Dirac operator. Moreover, we analyze the influence of low-mode truncation on the quark momenta and thereupon on the hadron spectrum and, finally, introduce a reweighting scheme to extend the truncation to the sea quark sector.

description: The amount of sequence data available today highly facilitates the access to genes from many gene families. Universal primers amplifying the desired genes over a range of species are readily obtained by aligning conserved gene regions, and laborious gene isolation procedures can often be replaced by quicker PCR-based approaches. However, in case of multigene families, PCR-based approaches bear the risk of incomplete isolation of family members. This problem is most prominent in gene families with highly variable and thus unpredictable number of gene copies among species, such as in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). In the present study we (i) report new primers for the isolation of the MHC class IIB (MHCIIB) gene family in birds, and (ii) share our experience with isolating MHCIIB genes from an unprecedented number of avian species from all over the avian phylogeny. We report important and usually underappreciated problems encountered during PCR-based multigene family isolation, and provide a collection of measures that may help to significantly improve the chance of successfully isolating complete multigene families using PCR-based approaches.

description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently complicated by glomerulonephritis with immune complexes containing viral RNA. We examined the potential influence of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), specifically TLR3 recognition of viral dsRNA exemplified by polyriboinosinic:polyribocytidylic acid [poly(I:C) RNA]. Normal human kidney stained positive for TLR3 on mesangial cells (MCs), vascular smooth muscle cells, and collecting duct epithelium. Cultured MCs have low TLR3 mRNA levels with predominant intracellular protein localization, which was increased by tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interleukin (IL)-1beta, interferon (IFN)-gamma, and the TLR3 ligand poly(I:C) RNA. Poly(I:C) RNA stimulation of MCs increased mRNA and protein synthesis of IL-6, IL-1beta, M-CSF, IL-8/CXCL8, RANTES/CCL5, MCP-1/CCL2, and ICAM-I; it also increased anti-proliferative and proapoptotic effects, the latter of which was decreased by inhibiting caspase-8. In microdissected glomeruli of normal and non-HCV membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis biopsies, TLR3 mRNA expression was low. In contrast TLR3 mRNA expression was significantly increased in hepatitis C-positive glomerulonephritis and was associated with enhanced mRNA for RANTES/CCL5 and MCP-1/CCL2. We hypothesize that immune complexes containing viral RNA activate mesangial TLR3 during HCV infection, thereby contributing to chemokine/cytokine release and effecting proliferation and apoptosis. Thus, TLR3 expression on renal cells, and especially MCs, may establish a link between viral infections and glomerular diseases.

description: Purpose: Practice nurse (PN)-led patient consultations and PN-led dosage adjustments of permanent medication are uncommon and not well studied in general practice (GP) in Germany. We investigated the perspectives of patients with common chronic diseases in Germany, diabetes mellitus (DM) type 2 and/or arterial hypertension (AT), on PN-led patient consultations and dosage adjustments of permanent medications in GP. Patients and Methods: In this exploratory qualitative study, online focus groups were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Patients were recruited from collaborating GPs according to a predefined sampling plan. Patients were eligible for this study if they had DM or AT treated by their GP, were on at least one permanent medication and were aged 18 years or older. Focus group transcripts were analyzed using thematic analyses. Results: Analyses of two focus groups, involving a total of 17 patients, revealed four main themes: (1) openness to the PN-led care and perceived benefits, eg because of patients’ confidence in PNs’ skills, or patients’ impression that PN-led care would better meet their needs and increase their compliance. Some patients had (2) reservations and perceived risks, especially for PN-led medication changes eg feeling that medication adjustments were a GP’s issue. Patients identified (3) reasons for encounters where they were likely to accept PN-led consultation and medication advice, eg management of DM, AT and thyroid disease. Patients also saw several important general requirements for the implementation of PN-led care in German general practice (4). Conclusion: There is a potential for openness towards PN-led consultation and PN-led medication adjustment for permanent medication in patients with DM or AT. This study is the first qualitative study to investigate PN-led consultations and medication advice in German general practice. If the implementation of PN-led care is planned, our findings add the patients’ perspectives of acceptable reasons for encounter for PN-led care and their general requirements.

description: The finite nuclear-size effect on the leading bound-electron g factor and the one-loop QED corrections to the bound-electron g factor is investigated for the ground state of hydrogen-like ions. The calculation is performed to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter Zα (where Z is the nuclear charge and α is the fine structure constant) and for the Fermi model of the nuclear charge distribution. In the result, theoretical predictions for the isotope shift of the 1s bound-electron g factor are obtained, which can be used for the determination of the difference of nuclear charge radii from experimental values of the bound-electron g factors for different isotopes.

Human umbilical vein EC were frozen in a high-potassium solution containing 10% dimethyl sulfoxide using 3 different cooling rates.

Independent of cooling rate and storage time, the retrieval after cryopreservation ranged between 60% and 80%. However, viability of the cells cryopreserved at 10°C/min decreased significantly from 78 ± 5% to 64 ±3% with storage. Storage time of 4 months resulted in a decreased cell multiplication factor over 4 and 12 days in culture. The lag phases returned to normal in the next passage. Thawed cells showed increased metabolic activity, reduced expression of thrombomodulin, and unchanged basal expression of adhesion molecules. However, the tumor necrosis factor–induced expression of adhesion molecules was significantly increased after long-term storage. This effect was partially compensated after expansion of the cells, whereas the prostacyclin release increased. Expansion of cryopreserved/ thawed EC resulted in highly proliferative cells with antithrombotic properties and a capacity for inflammatory reactions, which makes them suitable for vascular tissue engineering.

description: Toll-like receptors (TLR) are an emerging family of receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns and promote the activation of leukocytes and intrinsic renal cells. Ligands of the TLR include exogenous microbial components such as LPS (TLR4), lipoproteins and peptidoglycans (TLR1, -2, -6), viral RNA (TLR3), bacterial and viral unmethylated cytosin-guanosin dinucleotide (CpG)-DNA (TLR9), and endogenous molecules including heat-shock proteins and extracellular matrix molecules. Upon stimulation, TLR induce expression of inflammatory cytokines or costimulatory molecules via the MyD88-dependent and MyD88-independent signaling pathways shared with the interleukin-1 receptors. TLR are differentially expressed on leukocyte subsets and non-immune cells and appear to regulate important aspects of innate and adaptive immune responses. Tubular epithelial cells are among the non-immune cells that express TLR1, -2, -3, -4, and -6, suggesting that these TLR might contribute to the activation of immune responses in tubulointerstitial injury (e.g., bacterial pyelonephritis, sepsis, and transplant nephropathy). In addition, TLR9 has been shown to be involved in antigen-induced immune complex glomerulonephritis and lupus nephritis by regulating humoral and cellular immune responses. TLR are evolutionary conserved regulators of innate and adaptive immune responses. It is likely that TLR are involved in many if not all types of renal inflammation. Here the authors provide an overview on the biology of TLR, summarize the present data on their expression in the kidney, and provide an outlook for the potential roles of TLR in kidney disease.

description: We measured the cardiac contractile effects of the sympathomimetic amphetamine-like drug methamphetamine alone and in the presence of cocaine or propranolol in human atrial preparations. For a more comprehensive analysis, we also examined the effects of methamphetamine in preparations from the left and right atria of mice and, for comparison, analyzed the cardiac effects of amphetamine itself. In human atrial preparations, methamphetamine and amphetamine increased the contractile force, the relaxation rate, and the rate of tension development, and shortened the time to maximum tension and the time to relaxation. Likewise, in mice preparations, methamphetamine and amphetamine increased the contractile force in the left atrium and increased the beating rate in the right atrium. The effect in human atrial preparations started at 1 µM, therefore methamphetamine was less effective and potent than isoproterenol in increasing contractile force. These positive inotropic effects of methamphetamine were greatly attenuated by 10 µM cocaine and abolished by 10 µM propranolol. The inotropic effects of methamphetamine in human atrial preparations were associated with, and are believed to be mediated at least in part by, an increase in the phosphorylation state of the inhibitory subunit of troponin. In conclusion, the sympathomimetic central stimulant drug methamphetamine (as well as amphetamine) increased contractile force and protein phosphorylation, presumably through a release of noradrenaline in isolated human atrial preparations. Thus, methamphetamine acts as an indirect sympathomimetic in the human atrium.

description: The speed of silicon-based transistors has reached an impasse in the recent decade, primarily due to scaling techniques and the short-channel effect. Conversely, graphene (a revolutionary new material possessing an atomic thickness) has been shown to exhibit a promising value for electrical conductivity. Graphene would thus appear to alleviate some of the drawbacks associated with silicon-based transistors. It is for this reason why such a material is considered one of the most prominent candidates to replace silicon within nano-scale transistors. The major crux here, is that graphene is intrinsically gapless, and yet, transistors require a band-gap pertaining to a well-defined ON/OFF logical state. Therefore, exactly as to how one would create this band-gap in graphene allotropes is an intensive area of growing research. Existing methods include nano-ribbons, bilayer and multi-layer structures, carbon nanotubes, as well as the usage of the graphene substrates. Graphene transistors can generally be classified according to two working principles. The first is that a single graphene layer, nanoribbon or carbon nanotube can act as a transistor channel, with current being transported along the horizontal axis. The second mechanism is regarded as tunneling, whether this be band-to-band on a single graphene layer, or vertically between adjacent graphene layers. The high-frequency graphene amplifier is another talking point in recent research, since it does not require a clear ON/OFF state, as with logical electronics. This paper reviews both the physical properties and manufacturing methodologies of graphene, as well as graphene-based electronic devices, transistors, and high-frequency amplifiers from past to present studies. Finally, we provide possible perspectives with regards to future developments.

description: Two organoselenium thiourea derivatives, 1-(4-(methylselanyl)phenyl)-3-phenylthiourea (DS036) and 1-(4-(benzylselanyl)phenyl)-3-phenylthiourea (DS038) were produced and categorized using FTIR and NMR (1H and 13C). The effectiveness of the above two compounds as C-steel corrosion inhibitors in molar HCl was evaluated using the potentiodynamic polarization (PD) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. PD findings indicate that DS036 and DS038 have mixed-type features. EIS results show that growing their dose not only changes the polarization resistance of C-steel from 18.53 to 363.64 and 463.15 Ω cm2 but also alters the double layer capacitance from 710.9 to 49.7 and 20.5 μF cm−2 in the occurrence of 1.0 mM of DS036 and DS038, respectively. At a 1.0 mM dose, the organoselenium thiourea derivatives displayed the highest inhibition efficiency of 96.65% and 98.54%. The inhibitory molecule adsorption proceeded along the Langmuir isotherm on the steel substrate. The adsorption-free energy of the adsorption process was also intended and indicated a combined chemical and physical adsorption on the C-steel interface. FE-SEM studies support the adsorption and protective abilities of the OSe-based molecule inhibitor systems. In Silico calculations (DFT and MC simulations) explored the attraction between the studied organoselenium thiourea derivatives and corrosive solution anions on a Fe (110) surface. The obtained results show that these compounds can make a suitable preventing surface and control the corrosion rate.

description: Human activities are altering ecological communities around the globe. Understanding the implications of these changes requires that we consider the composition of those communities. However, composition can be summarized by many metrics which in turn are influenced by different ecological processes. For example, incidence-based metrics strongly reflect species gains or losses, while abundance-based metrics are minimally affected by changes in the abundance of small or uncommon species. Furthermore, metrics might be correlated with different predictors. We used a globally distributed experiment to examine variation in species composition within 60 grasslands on six continents. Each site had an identical experimental and sampling design: 24 plots × 4 years. We expressed compositional variation within each site—not across sites—using abundance- and incidence-based metrics of the magnitude of dissimilarity (Bray–Curtis and Sorensen, respectively), abundance- and incidence-based measures of the relative importance of replacement (balanced variation and species turnover, respectively), and species richness at two scales (per plot-year [alpha] and per site [gamma]). Average compositional variation among all plot-years at a site was high and similar to spatial variation among plots in the pretreatment year, but lower among years in untreated plots. For both types of metrics, most variation was due to replacement rather than nestedness. Differences among sites in overall within-site compositional variation were related to several predictors. Environmental heterogeneity (expressed as the CV of total aboveground plant biomass in unfertilized plots of the site) was an important predictor for most metrics. Biomass production was a predictor of species turnover and of alpha diversity but not of other metrics. Continentality (measured as annual temperature range) was a strong predictor of Sorensen dissimilarity. Metrics of compositional variation are moderately correlated: knowing the magnitude of dissimilarity at a site provides little insight into whether the variation is driven by replacement processes. Overall, our understanding of compositional variation at a site is enhanced by considering multiple metrics simultaneously. Monitoring programs that explicitly incorporate these implications, both when designing sampling strategies and analyzing data, will have a stronger ability to understand the compositional variation of systems and to quantify the impacts of human activities.

description: The design of epitaxial interfaces is a pivotal way to engineer artificial structures where new electronic phases can emerge. Here, we report a systematic emergence of an interfacial superconducting state in epitaxial heterostructures of LaTiO3 and KTaO3. The superconductivity transition temperature increases with decreasing thickness of LaTiO3. Such a behavior is observed for both (110) and (111) crystal oriented structures. For thick samples, the finite resistance developing below the superconducting transition temperature increases with increasing LaTiO3 thickness. Consistent with previous reports, the (001) oriented heterointerface features a high electron mobility of 250 cm2 V−1 s−1 and shows no superconducting transition down to 40 mK. Our results imply a non-trivial impact of LaTiO3 on the superconducting state and indicate how superconducting KTaO3 interfaces can be integrated with other oxide materials.

description: Purpose: Digital health information gains growing importance in the medical landscape. Despite its opportunities, there is a risk of patient misinformation which may adversely influence the patient–physician relationship. This investigation aimed to identify and compare differences in the content and quality of online health information on overactive bladder (OAB) between different digital platforms. Methods: The platforms Google search, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube were searched for the keyword OAB. The search result links were classified as useful or misleading, advertisement and personal experience. Information regarding the organization of the source and available content on treatment modalities was collected. Descriptive analysis was applied. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate heterogeneity regarding the distribution of information depending on the source. A p value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: The source with the highest quantity of useful content was YouTube (100%) and Google (100%), whereas LinkedIn included mostly misleading content (73%). YouTube and Google provided the greatest variety of health information and were dominated by professional associations. Surgical procedures for treating OAB were only described in 32% and 48% of Google and YouTube results, respectively. On Google, sacral neuromodulation and OnabotulinumtoxinA were described in 26% and bladder augmentation in only 16% of the search results. In contrast, alternative medicine was present in 76%. Conclusions: A large gap in the information on surgical treatments of OAB could be identified independently from the utilized source. In contrast, conservative treatments and alternative medicine dominate the current informational sources.
