description: Electron spin resonance (ESR) is usually interpreted as a single-particle phenomenon protected from the effect of many-body correlations. We show that this is not the case in a two-dimensional Fermi liquid (FL) with spin-orbit coupling (SOC). Depending on whether the magnetic field is below or above some critical value, ESR in such a system probes up to three collective chiral-spin modes, augmented by the presence of the field, or the Larmor mode, augmented both by SOC and FL renormalizations. We argue that ESR can be used as a probe not only for SOC but also for many-body physics.

description: There has been a great deal of debate in the library community during the last decade concerning the issue of whether libraries should invest in library coffee shops. Often this debate has been based on personal opinions unsubstantiated by experience. This paper informs those library professionals contemplating whether or not to incorporate a coffee shop, either in a renovation or new construction, of the experiences of library directors of systems which have integrated coffee shops.

description: Recent work of Bettin and Conrey on the period functions of Eisenstein series naturally gave rise to the Dedekind-like sum \[ c_{a}\left(\frac{h}{k}\right) \ = \ k^{a}\sum_{m=1}^{k-1}\cot\left(\frac{πmh}{k}\right)ζ\left(-a,\frac{m}{k}\right), \] where $a\in\mathbb{C}$, $h$ and $k$ are positive coprime integers, and $ζ(a,x)$ denotes the Hurwitz zeta function. We derive a new reciprocity theorem for these Bettin--Conrey sums, which in the case of an odd negative integer $a$ can be explicitly given in terms of Bernoulli numbers. This, in turn, implies explicit formulas for the period functions appearing in Bettin--Conrey's work. We study generalizations of Bettin--Conrey sums involving zeta derivatives and multiple cotangent factors and relate these to special values of the Estermann zeta function.

Communities of practice

description: A gap currently exists between the level of instructional training needed for public service librarians to succeed, and the level being provided by employers and LIS programs. Communities of practice (CoPs), as described by Lave and Wenger, provide a sustainable, practice-centered model for instructors of all experience and skill levels to grow individually while supporting each other. This paper documents the analysis of redesigned instructional training for the instruction team at UNC-Chapel Hill's Undergraduate Library (UL), centered around Information Literacy by Design (ILbD). Interviews with instruction team members are coded to track indicators of CoPs, which reveal key trends involving peer relationships, self-efficacy, and ways of learning. The redesigned training is revealed to have influenced the development of a community of practice among the UL instruction team.

description: Search log data from the Ackland Art Museum's online collection search system was analyzed in order to determine the search categories most frequently employed by users of the system. The data consisted of a total of 16,729 actions and 3,459 search sessions. It covered a three-month time period from February 19 to May 19, 2015. Analysis of actions associated with the Ackland's advanced search feature suggest that the department, classification, and artist fields have the highest usage while searchers rarely submit queries relating to a work's particular medium (2.55%). Review of the most common queries submitted by users reveals that search terms most commonly relate to representational subjects visually presented in a work of art rather than formal titles. Investigation into how users alter the queries they submit throughout a search session indicates that users often do not change categories during a search session, but primarily make parallel changes (68.11%).

description: Human microbiome studies use sequencing technologies to measure the abundance of bacterial species or Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) in samples of biological material. Typically the data are organized in contingency tables with OTU counts across heterogeneous biological samples. In the microbial ecology community, ordination methods are frequently used to investigate latent factors or clusters that capture and describe variations of OTU counts across biological samples. It remains important to evaluate how uncertainty in estimates of each biological sample's microbial distribution propagates to ordination analyses, including visualization of clusters and projections of biological samples on low dimensional spaces. We propose a Bayesian analysis for dependent distributions to endow frequently used ordinations with estimates of uncertainty. A Bayesian nonparametric prior for dependent normalized random measures is constructed, which is marginally equivalent to the normalized generalized Gamma process, a well-known prior for nonparametric analyses. In our prior the dependence and similarity between microbial distributions is represented by latent factors that concentrate in a low dimensional space. We use a shrinkage prior to tune the dimensionality of the latent factors. The resulting posterior samples of model parameters can be used to evaluate uncertainty in analyses routinely applied in microbiome studies. Specifically, by combining them with multivariate data analysis techniques we can visualize credible regions in ecological ordination plots. The characteristics of the proposed model are illustrated through a simulation study and applications in two microbiome datasets.

description: Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) have received much criticism over the  years. In particular, the controlled vocabulary's treatment of women and feminism  has been heavily analyzed. Although progress has been made in this area in recent  years, much of feminism remains outside the border of LCSH coverage. Additional  strides toward optimal subject description of feminist materials can be made through  the combination of LCSH headings and folksonomies in online library catalogs. In this  study, for a sample of 20 books, a comparison was made between terms offered by  LibraryThing tags for these books and terms available in LCSH for describing them.  Results indicate that tags found in folksonomies can often fill omissions in LCSH  coverage of feminist materials.

description: Dit rapport presenteert de rol van vrijwillige convenanten in de transitie naar circulaire economie in Nederland, specifiek voor het Circulair Ketenoverleg Matrassen (Utrecht Sustainability Institute, 2016), Betonakkoord (2018) en het Plastic Pact NL (2019). De bevindingen in dit rapport vormen input voor de Integrale CE Rapportage (ICER) 2023. Om de transitie naar een circulaire economie te versnellen is er in een aantal sectoren een convenant getekend tussen overheid, producenten en verwerkers waarin een aantal (beleids-)doelstellingen zijn opgenomen. Vanwege de vrijwilligheid van deze convenanten is men kritisch naar de effectiviteit ervan voor de transitie. Dit rapport dient als een reflectie op de functionaliteit en effectiviteit van deze convenanten voor de transitie naar een circulaire economie. Om de functionaliteit en effectiviteit van de convenanten in deze transitie goed in beeld te krijgen, wordt de methodiek van een Missie-gedreven Innovatie Systeem raamwerk gebruikt. Het MIS wordt gedefinieerd als het netwerk van actoren en regels die gezamenlijk bijdragen aan de ontwikkeling en verspreiding van innovatieve oplossingen en de transformatie van de huidige manier van produceren en consumeren om daarmee de missie te volbrengen. De convenanten zijn een onderdeel van de activiteiten die gezamenlijk ondernomen worden door actoren binnen een bepaalde sector of doelgroep. Met behulp van een MIS analyse zal dit onderzoek de bevorderingen en belemmeringen van bovengenoemde convenanten identificeren om aanknopingspunten te geven voor het beoordelen en het eventueel aanscherpen van de aanpak om op die manier bij te dragen aan het volbrengen van de missie.

description: While it is true that many factors can influence information seeking success, the amount of effort exerted by the user in completing a task can be a key factor. This study examined the log files of high performing and low performing users of an experimental system to examine differences in their behaviors performing retrieval tasks. The study examined aspects of elaboration, redundancy, depth, and effort to determine which might be used to predict user success in a retrieval task. Results did not show significant differences between the groups according to elaboration, redundancy, and depth, but did reveal significant differences when comparing the following effort measures: number of documents opened, number of piles used, and number of documents placed into piles. Results indicate that the amount of effort is a good indicator of success in information seeking tasks.

description: In this work, we provide 2189 photometric- and kinematic-selected member candidates of 24 star clusters from the LAMOST DR2 catalog. We perform two-step membership identification: selection along the stellar track in the color-magnitude diagram, i.e., photometric identification, and the selection from the distribution of radial velocities, i.e. the kinematic identification. We find that the radial velocity from the LAMOST data are very helpful in the membership identification. The mean probability of membership is 40\% for the radial velocity selected sample. With these 24 star clusters, we investigate the performance of the radial velocity and metallicity estimated in the LAMOST pipeline. We find that the systematic offset in radial velocity and metallicity are $0.85\pm1.26$\,\kms\ and $-0.08\pm0.04$\,dex, with dispersions of $5.47_{-0.71}^{+1.16}$\,\kms\ and $0.13_{-0.02}^{+0.04}$\,dex, respectively. Finally, we propose that the photometric member candidates of the clusters covered by the LAMOST footprints should be assigned higher priority so that more member stars can be observed.

description: We study $SO(32)$ heterotic string theory on torus with magnetic fluxes. Non-vanishing fluxes can lead to non-universal gauge kinetic functions for $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)_Y$ which is the important features of $SO(32)$ heterotic string theory in contrast to the $E_8\times E_8$ theory. It is found that the experimental values of gauge couplings are realized with ${\cal O}(1)$ values of moduli fields based on the realistic models with the $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry and three chiral generations of quarks and leptons without chiral exotics.

description: Using backwards ray tracing, we study the shadows of Kerr black holes with scalar hair (KBHsSH). KBHsSH interpolate continuously between Kerr BHs and boson stars (BSs), so we start by investigating the lensing of light due to BSs. Moving from the weak to the strong gravity region, BSs - which by themselves have no shadows - are classified, according to the lensing produced, as: $(i)$ non-compact, which yield no multiple images; $(ii)$ compact, which produce an increasing number of Einstein rings and multiple images of the whole celestial sphere; $(iii)$ ultra-compact, which possess light rings, yielding an infinite number of images with (we conjecture) a self-similar structure. The shadows of KBHsSH, for Kerr-like horizons and non-compact BS-like hair, are analogous to, but distinguishable from, those of comparable Kerr BHs. But for non-Kerr-like horizons and ultra-compact BS-like hair, the shadows of KBHsSH are drastically different: novel shapes arise, sizes are considerably smaller and multiple shadows of a single BH become possible. Thus, KBHsSH provide quantitatively and qualitatively new templates for ongoing (and future) very large baseline interferometry (VLBI) observations of BH shadows, such as those of the Event Horizon Telescope.

description: This paper describes exploratory research related to the perceptions of public librarians in North Carolina regarding the perceived value of experiential learning programs in library school as compared with classroom-based courses and other types of work experience. The research involved 16 librarians working in public libraries across North Carolina participating in focus groups designed to uncover their perceptions of their library school education and the usefulness of experiential learning programs as a part of that education. The author concludes that experiential learning is perceived not only as highly valuable to former students but as more valuable to them than classroom-based course work in preparing them for a career in librarianship and in guiding them to the appropriate area of librarianship.

description: Here, we show a method to reconstruct connectivity hypermatrices of a general hypergraph (without any self loop or multiple edge) using tensor. We also study the different spectral properties of these hypermatrices and find that these properties are similar for graphs and uniform hypergraphs. The representation of a connectivity hypermatrix that is proposed here can be very useful for the further development in spectral hypergraph theory.

The Surface Densities of Disk Brown Dwarfs in JWST Surveys

description: We present predictions for the surface density of ultracool dwarfs (with spectral types M8-T8) for a host of deep fields that are likely to be observed with the James Webb Space Telescope. Based on simple thin and thick/thin disk (exponential) models, we show the typical distance modulus is mu~9.8 mag, which at high Galactic latitude is 5log(2 z_scl)-5. Since this is a property of the density distribution of an exponential disk, it is independent of spectral type or stellar sample. Using the published estimates of the ultracool dwarf luminosity function, we show that their number counts typically peak around J~24 mag with a total surface density of Sigma ~ 0.3 arcmin^-2, but with a strong dependence on galactic coordinate and spectral type. Owing to the exponential shape of the disk, the ultracool dwarfs are very rare at faint magnitudes (J>~27 mag), with typical densities of Sigma~0.005 arcmin^-2 (or ~20% of the total contribution within the field). Therefore in the very narrow and deep fields, we predict there are only a few ultracool dwarfs, and hence these stars are likely not a severe contaminant in searches for high-redshift galaxies. Furthermore the ultracool dwarfs are expected to be considerably brighter than the high-redshift galaxies, so samples near the faint-end of the high-redshift galaxy population will be the purest. We present the star-count formalism in a simplified way so that observers may easily predict the number of stars for their conditions (field, depth, wavelength, etc.).

description: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of puppets in story telling situations can help students retain information.  To explore this question on a small scale, three classes of North Carolina fourth graders were told three different North Carolina folktales, using a different presentation method for each folktale.  The tales were told with either a puppet as a narrator, using flannel board figures from the tale or told without any aids.  Data on the children's ability to retain information from each story was collected via questionnaires completed one week after the presentation of a story.  Results indicate that puppets were not the most effective method to aid retention of information.  Several factors identified as affecting the results are discussed here.
Context-Aware Image Descriptions for Web Accessibility

description: Blind and low vision (BLV) internet users access images on the web via text descriptions. New vision-to-language models such as GPT-V, Gemini, and LLaVa can now provide detailed image descriptions on-demand. While prior research and guidelines state that BLV audiences' information preferences depend on the context of the image, existing tools for accessing vision-to-language models provide only context-free image descriptions by generating descriptions for the image alone without considering the surrounding webpage context. To explore how to integrate image context into image descriptions, we designed a Chrome Extension that automatically extracts webpage context to inform GPT-4V-generated image descriptions. We gained feedback from 12 BLV participants in a user study comparing typical context-free image descriptions to context-aware image descriptions. We then further evaluated our context-informed image descriptions with a technical evaluation. Our user evaluation demonstrated that BLV participants frequently prefer context-aware descriptions to context-free descriptions. BLV participants also rated context-aware descriptions significantly higher in quality, imaginability, relevance, and plausibility. All participants shared that they wanted to use context-aware descriptions in the future and highlighted the potential for use in online shopping, social media, news, and personal interest blogs.

description: This paper examines XML and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to see how XML can be used for EDI. The paper is concerned with the ability of XML to actually provides solutions to EDI's adoption barriers. An overview of XML's components and constraints is presented. Next, EDI is addressed, paying particular attention to its components and the barriers to EDI adoption. Finally, a discussion of how XML can be used for EDI occurs with focus also given to the impact of XML on EDI's adoption barriers. This paper concludes that if properly implemented, XML does offer solutions to EDI's problems. Sources include published literature, publicly accessible web pages, and standards body produced specifications.

description: A database must perform quickly and accurately to be useful to an organization. To monitor database performance, a database administrator (DBA) analyzes many types of data. As the complexity of database systems increases, so does the amount of required information. Recently available software tools facilitate this information gathering process for the DBA. This study describes a survey of database professionals that used Internet newsgroups and discussion forums to determine DBAs' use of traditional performance management practices, such as system tweaking and benchmarking, and these software tools. Although survey response was small, examination of responses uncovered some common themes. Traditional practices were still used. DBAs overall did not use many tools, for many reasons, but agreed that the generated information would have been useful and necessary. To construct this data, they used scripts or functions built into the database. The study provides a basis for future research into database performance management.

description: Many microorganisms find themselves immersed in fluids displaying non-Newtonian rheological properties such as viscoelasticity and shear-thinning viscosity. The effects of viscoelasticity on swimming at low Reynolds numbers have already received considerable attention, but much less is known about swimming in shear-thinning fluids. A general understanding of the fundamental question of how shear-thinning rheology influences swimming still remains elusive. To probe this question further, we study a spherical squirmer in a shear-thinning fluid using a combination of asymptotic analysis and numerical simulations. Shear-thinning rheology is found to affect a squirming swimmer in nontrivial and surprising ways; we predict and show instances of both faster and slower swimming depending on the surface actuation of the squirmer. We also illustrate that while a drag and thrust decomposition can provide insights into swimming in Newtonian fluids, extending this intuition to problems in complex media can prove problematic.
