description: In this work, we show that the zero field excitation spectra in the quantum spin ice candidate pyrochlore compound \ybti\ is a continuum characterized by a very broad and almost flat dynamical response which extends up to $1-1.5$ meV, coexisting or not with a quasi-elastic response depending on the wave-vector. The spectra do not evolve between 50 mK and 2 K, indicating that the spin dynamics is only little affected by the temperature in both the short-range correlated and ordered regimes. Although classical spin dynamics simulations qualitatively capture some of the experimental observations, we show that they fail to reproduce this broad continuum. In particular, the simulations predict an energy scale twice smaller than the experimental observations. This analysis is based on a careful determination of the exchange couplings, able to reproduce both the zero field diffuse scattering and the spin wave spectrum rising in the field polarized state. According to this analysis, \ybti\ lies at the border between a ferro and an antiferromagnetic phase. These results suggest that the unconventional ground state of \ybti\ is governed by strong quantum fluctuations arising from the competition between those phases. The observed spectra may correspond to a continuum of deconfined spinons as expected in quantum spin liquids.

description: The current Web has no general mechanisms to make digital artifacts --- such as datasets, code, texts, and images --- verifiable and permanent. For digital artifacts that are supposed to be immutable, there is moreover no commonly accepted method to enforce this immutability. These shortcomings have a serious negative impact on the ability to reproduce the results of processes that rely on Web resources, which in turn heavily impacts areas such as science where reproducibility is important. To solve this problem, we propose trusty URIs containing cryptographic hash values. We show how trusty URIs can be used for the verification of digital artifacts, in a manner that is independent of the serialization format in the case of structured data files such as nanopublications. We demonstrate how the contents of these files become immutable, including dependencies to external digital artifacts and thereby extending the range of verifiability to the entire reference tree. Our approach sticks to the core principles of the Web, namely openness and decentralized architecture, and is fully compatible with existing standards and protocols. Evaluation of our reference implementations shows that these design goals are indeed accomplished by our approach, and that it remains practical even for very large files.

Alla ricerca di un canone europeo tra plurilinguismo e multiculturalità
Creators: name: Böhmig, Michaela
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2004

description: In Search of a European Canon between Multilingualism and Multiculturalism The article's aim is to point out a series of problems related to 1) the “new” Europe, 2) the “European” canon, and 3) multilingualism and multiculturalism. The author moves from the evidence that the political priority of redesigning the enlarged European Union’s new borders involves the risk to let aside the equally or even more important task to redefine the “European” roots and to establish shared cultural values, and she raises the question of what is to be considered “Europe” and “European”. Reviewing the fundamental works, which in an centripetal effort try to collect the basic myths and themes of the Western and/or European cultural space, such as Stoffe der Weltliteratur by Elisabeth Frenzel (Stuttgart 19887), Dictionnaire des Mythes Littéraires, edited by Pierre Brunel (Paris 1988), The Western Canon by Harold Bloom (New York 1994), and Europa: tema y variaciones (Madrid 2000) by José Antonio Jáuregui, the author remarks that the contribution of the Eastern European countries to what should be a common inheritance seems to be very small or even non-existent. Since this disproportion cannot be ascribed to an inadequate cultural production, the only explanation remains a prevailing one-way influence from West to East . and not vice versa . and a consequent one-sided perception by European scholars. In order to establish a complete “European” canon, it is therefore necessary to enlarge the borders toward East and to include the Slavic area. An opposite approach can be observed in language policy, which in a centrifugal effort, due to the objective difficulty to choose or produce a common European language, insists on an equal status for all European languages, from the major national languages to those of ethnic minorities, all to be preserved by means of “positive discrimination”. Besides the difficulty to govern a federation of countries with 11 official languages and over 40 idioms of ethnic minorities, there remains the evident contradiction of considering “European” all the languages included within the borders of the enlarged European Union, whereas a language as Russian, which has a weight both as a cultural and a vehicular language, will be considered a language of an ethnic minority in some peripheral states, such as the Baltic countries. On the way towards a “new” Europe, with cultural relativism on the one side and Realpolitik on the other, one should not leave centuries of historic development and cultural traditions out of consideration.

(un)childhood: performing the voices and times of childhood through relational video-making
Creators: name: Santos, M.
name: Da Fonseca Moreira Santos, Maria
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2015

description: This practice-based PhD is comprised of two interrelated elements: (i) ‘(un)childhood’, a 53’ video-essay shown on two screens; and (ii) a 58286 word written thesis. The project, which is contextualised within the tradition of artists working with their own children on time-based art projects, explores a new approach to timebased artistic work about childhood. While Stan Brakhage (1933-2003), Ernie Gher (1943-), Erik Bullot (1963-) and Mary Kelly (1941-) all documented, photographed and filmed their children over a period of years to produce art projects (experimental films and a time-based installation), these projects were implicitly underpinned by a construction of childhood in which children, shown as they grow, represent the abstract primitive subject. The current project challenges the convention of representing children entirely from the adult’s point of view, as aesthetic objects without a voice, as well as through the artist’s chronological approach to time. Instead, this project focuses on the relational joining of the child’s and adult’s points of view. The artist worked on a video project with her own son over a four-and-a-half year period (between the ages of 5 and 10) through which she developed her ‘relational video-making’ methodology. The video-essay (un)childhood performs the relational voices of childhood as resulting from the verbal interactions of both children and adults. The non-chronological nature of(un)childhood offers an alternative to the linear-temporal approach to the representation of childhood. Through montage and a number of literal allusions to time in its dialogue, (un)childhood performs the relational times of childhood by combining children’s lives in the present with the temporal dimensions that have traditionally constructed childhood: past, future and timeless.

This work adds 567 days of HAWC data to the previously published survey, providing a refined analysis of an updated total exposure of 2090 days. The sample includes 138 nearby AGNs from the 3FHL catalog. We fit a modified power-law to their very high energy spectra, including the exponential attenuation caused by the Extragalactic Background Light. We found four sources with significant detections (above 5$σ$): the radio galaxy M87 and the BL Lac objects Mkn 421, Mkn 501 and 1ES 1215+303. We also report eight sources with a marginal detection (between 3$σ$ and 5$σ$) of which seven are classified as BL Lac objects and one as a radio galaxy.

Asimmetrie L1/L2: una sfida nella didattica di “lingua e traduzione”.
Creators: name: Salmon, Laura
Publisher: name: Studi Slavistici
Year: 2004

description: Asymmetries Between L1 and L2: a Challenge in the Teaching of "Language and Translation" Language teaching is deeply connected to the cognitive and brain sciences. The attribution of meaning of linguistic messages depends on the interaction between the communicant’s brain and the external world. The interaction is based on the cognitive and emotional experience shared by a L-community. Competence in L2 is acquired by the development of an internal data base of contextualised .units of living speech. (Lurija 1976). L2 teaching is particularly successful when the L2 units are inscribed in memory by means of the functionally equivalent L1 units. Selection of the L1/L2 correspondent units is due to the principle of markedness: each unit of L1 has a functional equivalent in one and only one unit of the L2. Because of the interlingual asymmetries (a set of Italian/Russian examples is given), functional equivalence differs from morphosyntactic and lexical equivalence. The competency in ascribing a degree of markedness to each linguistic unit needs the regular implicit acquisition of the L2 intonational and prosodic system; the processes of the metalinguistic conscious reflection are instead a .hindrance. to the procedural acting of a “living speaker”.

description: Both panes of factory-sealed double-glazing units are susceptible to thermal breakage. The outer pane experiences large thermally induced stresses when solar radiation falls on the sealed unit in cool weather. The breakage potential is even greater for units with heat-absorbing or heat- reflecting glass in the outer pane than for units with a clear outer pane. The inner pane experiences a high thermal stress when the outdoor air temperature is very low and the unit is subjected to localized heating. The breakage potential of the inner pane is greater for heat-reflecting units with a low U-value than for clear, heat-absorbing, or high-emissivity heat-reflecting units. Measured and calculated values of thermal stress for inner and outer panes of sealed glazing units indicate that thermal stress by itself should not cause glass breakage. Extensive breakage failure will only occur if the thermal stress is augmented by other tensile stresses or if weak or damaged glass is used. In the absence of a reliable method of predicting the probability of thermal breakage in sealed units, however, all factors that can possibly reduce the potential for breakage should be accommodated in design. This is especially true for units with heat-absorbing and heat-reflecting glass.

description: The Einstein-Maxwell (E-M) equations in a curved spacetime that admits at least one Killing vector are derived, from a Lagrangian density adapted to symmetries. In this context, an auxiliary space of potentials is introduced, in which, the set of potentials associated to an original (seed) solution of the E-M equations are transformed to a new set, either by continuous transformations or by discrete transformations. In this article, continuous transformations are considered. Accordingly, originating from the so-called $γ_A$-metric, other exact solutions to the E-M equations are recovered and discussed.

description: Superconductors, ideally diamagnetic when in the Meissner state, can also exhibit paramagnetic behavior due to trapped magnetic flux. In the absence of pinning such paramagnetic response is weak, and ceases with increasing sample thickness. Here we show that in multiband superconductors paramagnetic response can be observed even in slab geometries, and can be far larger than any previous estimate - even multiply larger than the diamagnetic Meissner response for the same applied magnetic field. We link the appearance of this giant paramagnetic response to the broad crossover between conventional Type-I and Type-II superconductors, where Abrikosov vortices interact non-monotonically and multibody effects become important, causing unique flux configurations and their locking in the presence of surfaces.

description: Inflammation is implicated in the progressive nature of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, but the mechanisms are poorly understood. A single systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 5 mg/kg, i.p.) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα, 0.25 mg/kg, i.p.) injection was administered in adult wild‐type mice and in mice lacking TNFα receptors (TNF R1/R2−/−) to discern the mechanisms of inflammation transfer from the periphery to the brain and the neurodegenerative consequences. Systemic LPS administration resulted in rapid brain TNFα increase that remained elevated for 10 months, while peripheral TNFα (serum and liver) had subsided by 9 h (serum) and 1 week (liver). Systemic TNFα and LPS administration activated microglia and increased expression of brain pro‐inflammatory factors (i.e., TNFα, MCP‐1, IL‐1β, and NF‐κB p65) in wild‐type mice, but not in TNF R1/R2−/− mice. Further, LPS reduced the number of tyrosine hydroxylase‐immunoreactive neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) by 23% at 7‐months post‐treatment, which progressed to 47% at 10 months. Together, these data demonstrate that through TNFα, peripheral inflammation in adult animals can: (1) activate brain microglia to produce chronically elevated pro‐inflammatory factors; (2) induce delayed and progressive loss of DA neurons in the SN. These findings provide valuable insight into the potential pathogenesis and self‐propelling nature of Parkinson's disease.
ACC/AHA Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Unstable Angina and Non–ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Executive Summary and Recommendations: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Committee on the Management of Patients With Unstable Angina)

description: The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines was formed to make recommendations regarding the diagnosis and treatment of patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. Unstable angina (UA) and the closely related condition non–ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) are very common manifestations of this disease. These life-threatening disorders are a major cause of emergency medical care and hospitalizations in the United States. In 1996, the National Center for Health Statistics reported 1 433 000 hospitalizations for UA or NSTEMI. In recognition of the importance of the management of this common entity and of the rapid advances in the management of this condition, the need to revise guidelines published by the Agency for Health Care Policy and Research (AHCPR) and the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute in 1994 was evident. This Task Force therefore formed the current committee to develop guidelines for the management of UA and NSTEMI. The present guidelines supersede the 1994 guidelines.

description: Ring-diagram analysis of acoustic waves observed at the photosphere can provide a relatively robust determination of the sub-surface flows at a particular time under a particular region. The depth of penetration of the waves is related to the size of the region, hence the depth extent of the measured flows is inversely proportional to the spatial resolution. Most ring-diagram analysis has focused on regions of extent ~15° (180 Mm) or more in order to provide reasonable mode sets for inversions. HMI data analysis also provides a set of ring fit parameters on a scale three times smaller. These provide flow estimates for the outer 1% (7 Mm) of the Sun only, with very limited depth resolution, but with spatial resolution adequate to map structures potentially associated with the belts and regions of magnetic activity. There are a number of systematic effects affecting the determination of flows from local helioseismic analysis of regions over different parts of the observable disk, not all well understood. In this study we characterize those systematic effects with higher spatial resolution, so that they may more effectively be accounted for in mapping temporal and spatial evolution of the flows. Leaving open the question of the mean structure of the global meridional circulation and the differential rotation, we describe the near-surface flow anomalies in time and latitude corresponding to the torsional oscillation pattern in differential rotation and analogous patterns in the meridional cell structure as observed by SDO/HMI.

description: An Unusual Bestseller: Notes on the Structure of B. Akunin’s “Leviathan” The most characteristic feature of Russian culture nowadays is a new syncretism that tries to combine very different and even opposing approaches, based on interaction between the socalled “mass culture” and “élite art”. The aim and purpose of this paper is to demonstrate, through an analysis of Boris Akunin’s “Leviathan”, that the main narrative strategy of this detective novel consists in the search for those poetic devices that can be easily comprehensible to different social/cultural groups. In this perspective, we hope to show that in order to evaluate the ways in which contemporary Russian Literature is developing, it is necessary, first of all, to admit its polyphonic nature.

Critical issues in peripheral arterial disease detection and management: A call to action

Year: 2003

description: THIS CALL-TO-ACTION document is an initiative of the Prevention of Atherothrombotic Disease Network, an international, multidisciplinary network, adjoined by the mutual goal of increasing awareness, detection, and treatment rates of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) and increasing awareness of the interrelationship between PAD and the risk of ischemic events. Although the prevalence of PAD in Europe and North America is estimated at approximately 27 million people, PAD remains a largely underdiagnosed and undertreated disease. Several recent epidemiologic studies have revealed PAD detection rates of 20% to 30% when specific at-risk populations were screened. In an effort to guide diagnostic and treatment protocols, the Prevention of Atherothrombotic Disease Network has recommended 5 action items. These are to (1) increase awareness of PAD and its consequences; (2) improve the identification of patients with symptomatic PAD; (3) initiate a screening protocol for patients at high risk for PAD; (4) improve treatment rates among patients who have been diagnosed with symptomatic PAD; and (5) increase the rates of early detection among the asymptomatic population.

The construction of an alternative quinoa economy: balancing solidarity, household needs, and profit in San Agustín, Bolivia
Creators: name: Ofstehage, Andrew
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Quinoa farmers in San Agustin, Bolivia face
the dilemma of producing for a growing international
market while defending their community interests and
resources, meeting their basic household needs, and making
a profit. Farmers responded to a changing market in the
1970s by creating committees in defense of quinoa and
farmer cooperatives to represent their interests and maximize
economic returns. Today farmer cooperatives offer
high, stable prices, politically represent farmers, and are
major quinoa exporters, but intermediaries continue to play
an important role in the local economy. Meanwhile, some
farmers rebuff the national cooperatives and intermediaries
in favor of a denomination of origin and closer association
with local cooperatives. This article, based on 4 months of
ethnographic research, explores the reasons for the continued
presence of intermediaries on the market landscape
and how farmers have worked to create a quinoa economy
embedded with fair trade values. Farmers demand stable
prices, flexible standards, provision of services, and
promises of maintaining the distinctive qualities of San
Agustin quinoa. They frame their trades in economic,
utility, and solidarity terms to reflect their livelihood
strategies, farming capabilities, and personal concepts of
fair trade. Meanwhile cooperatives, development initiatives,
and intermediaries each argue that their particular
buying practices allow farmers to attain household goods,
credit, and cash for food and economic security.
Il monumento praghese a Stalin: un’ombra ingombrante sul ‘disgelo’
Creators: name: Tria, Massimo

description: The Monument to Stalin in Prague. A Shadow that loomed over the 'Thaw' The author of the article focuses on the historical moment immediately preceding the death of Stalin and on the following period of partial political and cultural liberalization in the European countries under Soviet influence. He then concentrates on some guidelines of the so-called “destalinization” process, in particular regarding Czechoslovakia from 1953 to 1963. He points out how, for a few years, the leaders of the Czech Communist Party managed to stem the tide of positive reform and anti-dogmatic protests that instead spread faster and wider in countries like Hungary and Poland, as well as in the Soviet Union itself. The essay effectively highlights a symbolic episode of particular importance: the construction of the gigantic statue of Stalin, that dominated the landscape of Prague until 1962. Due to its particular chronology and its emblematic significance, this event summarizes the paradoxical features of the Czechoslovakian political context; in the historical moment in question, Czech politicians were particularly reluctant to welcome the liberal stimuli coming directly from Moscow and the Soviet leaders. Finally, he notes how the statue of Stalin has featured in several texts of Czech literature, in particular amongst dissenters and emigrants, but also in a classic such as Bohumil Hrabal, a testimony to the strong emotional and cultural impact that the statue had on the society and culture of Prague and of Czechoslovakia as a whole.

description: Chiral discrimination that is efficient to tiny amounts of chiral substances, especially at the single-molecule level, is highly demanded. Here, we propose a single-shot nondestructive quantum sensing method addressing such an issue. Our scheme consists of two steps. In the first step, the two enantiomers are prepared in different rotational states via microwave enantio-specific state transfer. Then, the chiral discrimination is transferred to quantum hypothesis testing. In the second step, we for the first time introduce a non-destructive quantum-state detection technique assisted with a microwave resonator to chiral discrimination, through which the molecular chirality is determined by the sign of the output signals. Using a typical chiral molecule, 1,2-propanediol, and an experimentally feasible model based on spherical Fabry-Pérot cavity, we show that the molecular chirality of slowly moving enantiopure gaseous samples with $10^2 - 10^3$ molecules can be highly credibly distinguished in a single-shot detection. By further trapping chiral molecules, it is promising to achieve chiral discrimination at the single molecule level by using our approach.
A Survey and Classification of Controlled Natural Languages

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: What is here called controlled natural language (CNL) has traditionally been given many different names. Especially during the last four decades, a wide variety of such languages have been designed. They are applied to improve communication among humans, to improve translation, or to provide natural and intuitive representations for formal notations. Despite the apparent differences, it seems sensible to put all these languages under the same umbrella. To bring order to the variety of languages, a general classification scheme is presented here. A comprehensive survey of existing English-based CNLs is given, listing and describing 100 languages from 1930 until today. Classification of these languages reveals that they form a single scattered cloud filling the conceptual space between natural languages such as English on the one end and formal languages such as propositional logic on the other. The goal of this article is to provide a common terminology and a common model for CNL, to contribute to the understanding of their general nature, to provide a starting point for researchers interested in the area, and to help developers to make design decisions.

description: Problems with cladding are frequently the result of movement of supporting concrete building frames due to creep and shrinkage, a source of trouble that is often not recognized. Although frame deformation is frequently the prime cause, diagnosis is difficult owing to the fact that workmanship, materials, moisture, temperature and design factors aggravate the situation. The physical and chemical mechanisms involved in creep and shrinkage as natural phenomena were discussed in CBD 119. It is the purpose of the present Digest to draw particular attention to their effects on cladding.

description: The American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA) Task Force on Practice Guidelines regularly reviews existing guidelines to determine when an update or full revision is needed. Guidelines for the Clinical Use of Cardiac Radionuclide Imaging were originally published in 1986 and updated in 1995. Important new developments have continued to occur since 1995, particularly in the areas of acute and chronic ischemic syndromes and heart failure. The Task Force therefore believed the topic should be revisited de novo and invited the American Society for Nuclear Cardiology (ASNC) to cosponsor the undertaking, which represents a joint effort of the 3 organizations.

description: Yavor Părvanov Materials for a New Russian-Bulgarian Comparing Dictionary“SÈD” The article presents a fragment from a new comparing dictionary “The Comparing Dictionary of the Names of Expansive Actions in Russian and Bulgarian Languages”. The main parameters of the new web-orientated comparing dictionary are exposed, the principles of its formation are shown and the paramount connections between the words-matches are classified. The principle difference between the translational dictionaries and the model of double comparison is also shown. The scheme for the page classifi cation is suggested. The new notions and key words are inserted. The real prototype of a dictionary with several key pages is published. The probability of this prototype to turn into the version of the Russian-Bulgarian Comparing Dictionary of a new generation is offered for the wide discussion.

description: We combine optical, near-infrared and mid-infrared spectra and photometry to construct expanded spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 145 field age (\textgreater 500 Myr) and 53 young (lower age estimate \textless 500 Myr) ultracool dwarfs (M6-T9). This range of spectral types includes very low mass stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary mass objects, providing fundamental parameters across both the hydrogen and deuterium burning minimum masses for the largest sample assembled to date. A subsample of 29 objects have well constrained ages as probable members of a nearby young moving group (NYMG). We use 182 parallaxes and 16 kinematic distances to determine precise bolometric luminosities ($L_\text{bol}$) and radius estimates from evolutionary models give semi-empirical effective temperatures ($T_\text{eff}$) for the full range of young and field age late-M, L and T dwarfs. We construct age-sensitive relationships of luminosity, temperature and absolute magnitude as functions of spectral type and absolute magnitude to disentangle the effects of degenerate physical parameters such as $T_\text{eff}$, surface gravity, and clouds on spectral morphology. We report bolometric corrections in $J$ for both field age and young objects and find differences of up to a magnitude for late-L dwarfs. Our correction in $Ks$ shows a larger dispersion but not necessarily a different relationship for young and field age sequences. We also characterize the NIR-MIR reddening of low gravity L dwarfs and identify a systematically cooler $T_\text{eff}$ of up to 300K from field age objects of the same spectral type and 400K cooler from field age objects of the same $M_H$ magnitude.

description: The most important problem of spectroscopic chiral analysis is the inherently weak chiral signals are easily overwhelmed by the environment noises. Enormous efforts had been spent to overcome this problem by enhancing the symmetry break in the light-molecule interactions or reducing the environment noises. Here, we propose an alternative way to solve this problem by using frequency-entangled photons as probe signals and detecting them in coincidence, i.e., using quantum chiral spectroscopy. For this purpose, we develop the theory of entanglement-assisted quantum chiral spectroscopy. Our results show that the signals of left- and right-handed molecules in the quantum spectrum are always distinguishable by suitably configuring the entangled probe photons. In construct, the classical spectrum of the two enantiomers become indistinguishable when the symmetry break in the interactions is overwhelmed by the environment noises. This offers our quantum chiral spectroscopy a great advantage over all classical chiral spectroscopy. Our work opens up an exciting area that exploring profound advantages of quantum spectroscopy in chiral analysis.

description: The present study investigates the effect of macro- and micronutrients on photoautotrophic lipid production from Scenedesmus abundans. An optimized lipid medium has been formulated using one-at-a-time variation of macronutrients and a study of micronutrient interactions. Both single-stage and two-stage strategies were used for simultaneous production of lipid and exopolysaccharide (EPS) in medium-scale photobioreactors (PBRs) using the optimized lipid medium. In the single-stage cultivation 32% fatty acid methyl ester (FAME, biodiesel) was achieved, whereas only 12.6% FAME was observed in two-stage PBR. A FAME titer of 1.16 g/L with overall FAME productivity of 32 mg/L/day and 280 mg/L EPS was achieved using the single-stage strategy. Further, under diurnal natural sunlight and outdoor conditions, a FAME content of 46%, with 1.28 g/L of FAME and 27 mg/L/day FAME productivity, and 155 mg/L EPS were achieved using the single-stage strategy in 2 L medium-scale flat-panel PBRs. Apart from high biodiesel and EPS production, this microalgal strain also has the ability to carry out natural autoflocculation with high efficiency. The strain could be exploited for high lipid content under outdoor cultivation without photoinhibition. Micronutrients have effects on lipid accumulation in Scenedesmus abundans. Scenedesmus abundans produced high biodiesel content (46% of DCW) under natural sunlight. Simultaneous synthesis of multiproducts by this candidate paves the way for biorefining.
The case for home‐grown, sustainable next generation library services

description: In the words of Eli Neiburger, "Libraries are so screwed" (Eli Neiburger at the LJ/SLJ eBook
Summit: Libraries Are Screwed, Part 1). While we offer next generation public services like mobile
access and e‐books, these services are often neither home‐grown nor sustainable. Libraries have a
history of lending and services built on a simple model: we purchase an item, and then provide it to the
community. Unfortunately the latest generation of services that libraries offer have a much more
complicated path. The buy/lend model is relatively simple when applied to traditional print media, and
essentially only requires three things: a process to purchase the item, shelf space, and a person to
manage that item, once acquired, for as long that item physically lasts. If libraries try to apply that
model to electronic media things suddenly get more complicated. A purchasing process and manager
are still required, but shelf space isn’t. Server space becomes necessary instead. In addition to these
changes, the electronic media also gains new requirements. It needs a delivery platform, a computer or
other device to view the item on, and a technical support staff. All this is required for as long as the
license to that item persists.
The process of providing access to items is suddenly complicated due to the overhead
requirements of electronic content and libraries have responded by outsourcing many of the new
demands. In addition to circulation procedures becoming more complex, the increased complexity
affects other services related to electronic content. Developing electronic equivalents of our book
displays and promoting services online is no longer as simple as hand‐coding basic HTML. Users expect
highly interactive online experiences, and that’s before we even get to mobile websites and apps.
As complexity in providing electronic services develops more and more outside our historical
experience, libraries have turned to outsiders to fill gaps in operating knowledge. This made perfect
sense at the time because in the short term it was the easiest and most cost‐effective way to provide
the next generation services our users now expect. Outsourcing electronic or digital expertise was far
cheaper in both time and money than retraining library staff in a time of staff and funding shortages, but
it is not a long term solution. We have positioned ourselves as middlemen, and the web is not kind to
middlemen. This column will explore why third‐party solutions are not the best way for libraries to
provide next‐gen services in the long run, and will provide some suggestions and examples of what
libraries should be doing in‐house instead.
Shear viscosity of pionic and nucleonic components from their different possible mesonic and baryonic thermal fluctuations

description: Owing to the Kubo relation, the shear viscosities of pionic and nucleonic components have been evaluated from their corresponding retarded correlators of viscous stress tensor in the static limit, which become non-divergent only for the non-zero thermal widths of the constituent particles. In the real-time thermal field theory, the pion and nucleon thermal widths have respectively been obtained from the pion self-energy for different meson, baryon loops and the nucleon self-energy for different pion-baryon loops. We have found a non-monotonic momentum distributions of pion and nucleon thermal widths, which have been integrated out by their respective Bose-enhanced and Pauli-blocked phase space factors during evaluation of their shear viscosities. The viscosity to entropy density ratio for this mixed gas of pion-nucleon system decreases and approaches toward its lower bound as the temperature and baryon chemical potential increase within the relevant domain of hadronic matter.
