Information visualization

description: This study explores how nonprofit organizations implement information visualization in their operations. Nine nonprofit employees were interviewed to better understand how these organizations use information visualizations to make decisions, plan for the future, and communicate information insights to stakeholders.  Expertise and use of information visualization in nonprofits seems to be growing. Interestingly, some nonprofits create information visualizations and tools that foster relationships with stakeholders and spread the use of data to different levels of the organization and various partner organizations. Most nonprofits interviewed use information visualizations on some level in both internal and external organizational activities although many lack standards for creating visualizations and methods for evaluating the effectiveness of the visuals they create.

Evidence for Photoionization Driven Broad Absorption Line Variability

description: We present a qualitative analysis of the variability of quasar broad absorption lines using the large multi-epoch spectroscopic dataset of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10. We confirm that variations of absorption lines are highly coordinated among different components of the same ion or the same absorption component of different ions for C IV, Si IV and N V. Furthermore, we show that the equivalent widths of the lines decrease or increase statistically when the continuum brightens or dims. This is further supported by the synchronized variations of emission and absorption line equivalent width, when the well established intrinsic Baldwin effect for emission lines is taken into account. We find that the emergence of an absorption component is usually accompanying with dimming of the continuum while the disappearance of an absorption line component with brightening of the continuum. This suggests that the emergence or disappearance of a C IV absorption component is only the extreme case, when the ionic column density is very sensitive to continuum variations or the continuum variability amplitude is larger. These results support the idea that absorption line variability is driven mainly by changes in the gas ionization in response to continuum variations, that the line-absorbing gas is highly ionized, and in some extreme cases, too highly ionized to be detected in UV absorption lines. Due to uncertainties in the spectroscopic flux calibration, we cannot quantify the fraction of quasars with asynchronized continuum and absorption line variations.

description: Information seeking research in Library and Information Science (LIS) has grown to encompass not only occupational situations, but non-work or everyday life situations. This sub-field has come to be known as everyday life information seeking (ELIS). In a discipline that continuously struggles to avoid appearing antiquated to the communities where it operates, researching information seeking in everyday contexts is a way for libraries to remain useful and viable to the general public.  This study explores the information seeking behavior of leisure movie watchers. People engage with movies as a form of recreation, entertainment, as well as knowledge. Through semi-structured interviews as well as assessing participants' information horizons, analysis will focus on emerging themes of information source preference as well as process. Results address implications for librarians, systems designers, film scholars, and ELIS researchers developing frameworks for leisure contexts.
title: Beyond the Digital Foodscape: Scottish-based Foodies’ use of social media influencers to explore and choose food
Creators: name: Marshall, Kristen Nichole
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this research is to investigate the effect of social media influencers (SMI) on Scottish-based consumers’ food choices and foodbased identity. Social media influencers (SMIs) are prominent opinion leaders of digital foodscape whose influence extends offline. Furst et al.’s (1996) complex food choice model was used to examine the strength and limits of the influence of SMIs on Foodie food choice against other factors. The research design employed semi-structured interviews situated in the homes of ten respondents who subsequently kept a diary to capture their food choices and use of social media over two weeks. While this research found SMIs popularise ingredients, cooking methods and restaurants they were less effective brand advocates for food products. Two Foodie archetypes – healthy Foodies and curious Foodies – were identified and refined against existing literature. Furst et al.’s complex food choice model was adapted for Foodies, with variety and learning as prominent food values and monetary considerations less prominent. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of SMI influence on consumer attitudes and behaviour from the perspective of consumers. The conclusions call for a more nuanced understanding of social media followership and proposes a scale of user engagement with influencers. Recommendations are made to influencers, Scottish food stakeholders and those wishing to partner with SMIs to promote food and drink.

Carco, Francis, 1886-1958--Bibliography

description: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill recently acquired a collection of the works of Francis Carco (1886-1958), a French poet, celebrated for his realistic portrayal of murky characters from the Parisian underworld. This analysis attempts to assess the strengths and weaknesses of The University of North Carolina's Carco collection by comparing it with information gleaned from auction records, booksellers' catalogs, union catalogs, and the online public access catalogs of Yale, Harvard, and Indiana universities. The results of these comparisons were used to create a bibliography of all of Francis Carco's known works. According to the records present in the online public access catalogs of the institutions involved, the University of North Carolina holds the most complete Carco collection. At 69 percent, this university owns the most Carco titles, compared to 55 percent (Yale University), 27 percent (Harvard University) and 8 percent (Indiana University) of the known titles. The University of North Carolina also owns more Carco first editions and more unique Carco titles than the other universities. This information formed a vital component of the bibliography of known works, which, when compared with the University of University of North Carolina's holdings, helped to create a Desiderata list of materials whose acquisition would further enrich the University of North Carolina's Francis Carco collection.

Transition from large-scaleweak turbulence to smaller scale strong turbulence is capturedand non local interactions, relevant in the case of steep spectra, are accounted for.

description: This paper reports on a study that examined a visual enhancement for NC Health Info, an  online health information portal for NC residents. The research goal was to improve the  Health Topic assignment with a semi-automatic approach via KWIC and highlighting.  The study had three components: a contextual inquiry investigating improvable areas; a  prototype developed according to the contextual inquiry findings; and a comparative user  study evaluating the effects of the proposed approach on the assignment of Health Topics  and users' perceptions of two systems. The experiment results proved that the prototype  significantly reduced the cataloging time and may potentially improve metadata quality.  Additionally, measured users' perceptions of the proposed system were positive. This  approach is expected not only to improve NC Health Info services but further enhance  metadata generation tools in the future.

description: The population of older adults in the United States is rapidly increasing. If they have not already, librarians must adopt the responsibility of providing library services that meet the needs of this specific population adequately. This paper examines the various interests and informational needs of older adults through a review of the literature. Additionally, a questionnaire was developed and mailed to public libraries in Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties, North Carolina, in order to determine the current state of services and programming for older adults in the Triangle. The findings of this survey research indicate that, overall, special services to this population is lacking. Ultimately, public libraries in the Triangle could be doing more to serve older adults.

description: Transition metal phosphides (TMP) are highly interesting catalytic materials for future hydrogenation and dehydrogenation reactions, as required for chemical hydrogen storage (e.g. Liquid organic hydrogen carriers). The state-of-the-art synthesis of these TMPs includes either harmful by-products (e.g. phosphine), harsh conditions (e.g. high temperatures) or time-consuming purification steps. In this study a novel synthesis path for TMP is examined, starting with the example dinickel phosphide. The novel method uses phosphonium-salts as phosphorous source, allowing to overcome the previously mentioned disadvantages of other methods. A variation of the synthesis parameters, calcination temperature, nickel salt and phosphonium salt was performed and compared to Ni2P that has been synthesized via the standard temperature programmed reduction (TPR) method. In the next step, the transfer of the synthesis method to different transition metals was examined. The new dinickel phosphide catalyst was finally tested for selective hydrogenation of acetophenone.

description: Iron-based superconductor SmFeAsO(0.91)F(0.09) has been investigated by the 57Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy versus temperature with the special attention paid to the region of the superconducting transition at about 47 K. Modulation of the electron charge density was found. It leads to the development of the charge density wave (CDW) and electric field gradient wave (EFGW). The modulation of CDW is enhanced in the temperature region of the superconducting gap opening, while the amplitude of EFGW is partly suppressed within this temperature region. This effect is exactly opposite to the similar effect in Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe2As2 superconductor. Hence, it seems that d electrons contribute significantly to the Cooper pair formation in both compounds as EFGW is perturbed within the temperature region of the superconducting gap formation.

description: In 2014, Ferguson, Missouri experienced multiple waves of civil unrest in response to the fatal shooting of Michael Brown and the grand jury decision not to indict Darren Wilson, the police officer responsible for the shooting. During this time, the Ferguson Municipal Public Library served a crucial role in responding to this community crisis. The actions of this library supported Ferguson's community resilience by limiting the impact and helping residents respond, recover, and heal from the civil unrest. A content analysis of the library's tweets reveals how the library used Twitter to communicate with the public and support its resilience around both waves of civil unrest. This case study highlights the importance of library disaster planning, roles libraries can play in helping communities plan, respond, and recover from crises, and explores how a library can employ social media to communicate with patrons and support community resilience.

description: We present a comprehensive theoretical analysis and computational study of four-wave mixing (FWM) of optical pulses co-propagating in one-dimensional silicon photonic crystal waveguides (Si-PhCWGs). Our theoretical analysis describes a very general set-up of the interacting optical pulses, namely we consider nondegenerate FWM in a configuration in which at each frequency there exists a superposition of guiding modes. We incorporate in our theoretical model all relevant linear optical effects, including waveguide loss, free-carrier (FC) dispersion and FC absorption, nonlinear optical effects such as self- and cross-phase modulation (SPM, XPM), two-photon absorption (TPA), and cross-absorption modulation (XAM), as well as the coupled dynamics of FCs and optical field. In particular, our theoretical analysis based on the coupled-mode theory provides rigorously derived formulae for linear dispersion coefficients of the guiding modes, linear coupling coefficients between these modes, as well as the nonlinear waveguide coefficients describing SPM, XPM, TPA, XAM, and FWM. In addition, our theoretical analysis and numerical simulations reveal key differences between the characteristics of FWM in the slow- and fast-light regimes, which could potentially have important implications to the design of ultra-compact active photonic devices.

description: Albania’s residential sector represents a large share of the country’s energy consumption, especially of electric power. Other important characteristics of the sector include fast growing energy demand and a high level of energy losses, which challenge the possibility of sustainable development. A large share of the electricity demand is used for heating purposes – a demand that could potentially be met in a more energy efficient manner. However, the precise portion of electricity used to meet heat needs is unknown. The main objective of this article is thus to determine the share of electricity used for heating in the largest Albanian city Based on a sample of households in Tirana, a statistical model is established and applied to perform a regression analysis to derive an estimation of household electricity demand. The heating share of the domestic electricity consumption is then quantified using additional information validated by actual measurements. The distribution of the electricity consumption data is better understood through an analysis of heat-related electricity consumption. Additionally, the monthly relative share of household electricity consumption reveals the number of households with electricity demand above the monthly 300kWh limit established by the Albanian Energy Regulatory Authority, which must be met in order to avoid triggering a higher electricity tariff. It is suggested that household electricity consumption will continue to grow in the near future, due to rising incomes and changing climatic conditions that are influencing the amount of heat used by Albanians, who rely primarily on electricity to heat their homes.

Reduced strength and extent of dynamic heterogeneity in a strong glass former as compared to fragile glass formers

description: We examined dynamic heterogeneity in a model tetrahedral network glass-forming liquid. We used four-point correlation functions to extract dynamic correlation lengths xi_4^a(t) and susceptibilities chi_4^a(t) corresponding to structural relaxation on two length scales a. One length scale corresponds to structural relaxation at nearest neighbor distances and the other corresponds to relaxation of the tetrahedral structure. We find that the dynamic correlation length xi_4^{a} grows much slower with increasing relaxation time than for model fragile glass formers. We also find that chi_4^a ~ (xi_4^a)^z for a range of temperatures, but z < 3 at the lowest temperatures examined in this study. However, we do find evidence that the temperature where Stokes-Einstein violation begins marks a temperature where there is a change in the character of dynamically heterogeneous regions. Throughout the paper, we contrast the structure and dynamics of a strong glass former with that of a representative fragile glass former.

Gone with the wind? The Norwegian licencing process for wind power: does it support investments and the realisation of political goals?
Creators: name: Blindheim, Bernt
Publisher: name: International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
Year: 2015

description: The Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MoPE) manages the licencing system for Norwegian wind power. Balancing relevant concerns in this process could be considered as Environmental Policy Integration (EPI) in practical wind power policy. Wind power investments have been limited in Norway, investors have left the market and those remaining are jittery towards making investments. This article argues that the licencing system is partially responsible for this situation; the system has, over time, introduced an extra risk element for investors, challenged their patience and hampered investments. Especially MoPE’s handling of appeals has been time consuming and difficult to predict regarding final outcome. The problem is probably lack of common understanding between MoPE and Ministry of Environment (MoE) on how EPI works in practical wind power policy. To speed up investments the pace in the licencing process must be increased and the criteria for balancing relevant interest must be clarified.

description: Vehicular Communication (VC) systems will greatly enhance intelligent transportation systems. But their security and the protection of their users' privacy are a prerequisite for deployment. Efforts in industry and academia brought forth a multitude of diverse proposals. These have now converged to a common view, notably on the design of a security infrastructure, a Vehicular Public Key Infrastructure (VPKI) that shall enable secure conditionally anonymous VC. Standardization efforts and industry readiness to adopt this approach hint to its maturity. However, there are several open questions remaining, and it is paramount to have conclusive answers before deployment. In this article, we distill and critically survey the state of the art for identity and credential management in VC systems, and we sketch a roadmap for addressing a set of critical remaining security and privacy challenges.

Content analysis
McLuhan, Marshall, 1911-1980

description: This study investigated user perceptions of the differences between print and electronic books. Using Marshall McLuhan and others' contention that media are not neutral conduits of information but rather shape the information they convey according to their own affordances and biases, this study focused upon the fundamental differences that are based on each medium's essential nature. Seven such differences were drawn from the literature and were used to categorize comments posted to online discussion boards and blogs using qualitative content analysis. Comparisons on all seven dimensions were identified, with tangibility discussed most and the direction of information flow discussed least. Two additional dimensions emerged during the coding process which may form an additional category. The list of fundamental differences may help cultural institutions prioritize what to digitize and inform the discussion as to why these media may be different and suited to different uses.
