description: This study is a content analysis of children's picture books. Thirty books were evaluated to determine if the portrayal of African Americans in picture books was realistic and positive. The books reviewed were selected from the reference source A to Zoo. Many librarians use this title to recommend materials to children and parents. The books were published during the 1980s and 1990s.  Results showed that overall the portrayal of African Americans is positive, realistic and excludes stereotypical images. The study found that African Americans are writing and illustrating books about the African American experience. Overall the sample showed the language used was realistic and there was not a difference in speech between the African American and white characters. The illustrations depicted the diversity of the African American culture in features, hairstyles and complexion. The characterization was positive, complex and the character's actions mirrored real life. The stories were universal; they could have been the experience of any child.

description: We examine the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon $\mathcal{S}_{BGS}$ and the non-additive Havrda-Charvát / Daróczy/Cressie-Read/Tsallis \ $\mathcal{S}_q$ \ and the Kaniadakis $κ$-entropy \ $\mathcal{S}_κ$ \ from the viewpoint of coarse-graining, symplectic capacities and convexity. We argue that the functional form of such entropies can be ascribed to a discordance in phase-space coarse-graining between two generally different approaches: the Euclidean/Riemannian metric one that reflects independence and picks cubes as the fundamental cells and the symplectic/canonical one that picks spheres/ellipsoids for this role. Our discussion is motivated by and confined to the behaviour of Hamiltonian systems of many degrees of freedom. We see that Dvoretzky's theorem provides asymptotic estimates for the minimal dimension beyond which these two approaches are close to each other. We state and speculate about the role that dualities may play in this viewpoint.

Intelligent audit code generation from free text in the context of neurosurgery

description: Clinical auditing requires structured data for aggregation and analysis of patterns. Clinicians however, need to record clinical encounters in written or spoken language, not only for its work-flow naturalness but also for its expressivity, precision, and capacity to convey all required information, which codified structured data is incapable of. Therefore, structured data must be obtained from clinical text as a later step, a task known as information extraction. Specialised areas of medicine use their own clinical language and clinical coding systems, resulting in unique challenges for the extraction process. This research is devoted to creating a novel semi-automated method for generating codified auditing data from clinical notes recorded in a neurosurgical department in an Australian teaching hospital. The department has its own audit coding system, and language used in its clinical notes is highly specific to the neurological and neurosurgical domains, which necessitated a customised approach. The principles of Design Science Research were followed to design a method that combines Natural Language Information Extraction and Machine Learning techniques. The method was tested by developing a computer programme that incorporates text extraction algorithms trained and tested on data supplied by the neurosurgical department. The software implements rules initially provided by a domain expert and extended during the development of the software; combined with a custom built machine learning-based prediction system. The software architecture was informed by the requirement for it to be an instantiation of the method, therefore that it should be capable of evaluation within the department’s computer systems. To the author’s knowledge there has been no previous published research addressing the challenges of codifying neurosurgical-specific audit categories from free text. By combining highly specific rules-based information extraction with the weighted word counts of a machine learning component in a unique way, the method demonstrates a unique approach to creating applications that solve this codification problem.

description: The paramagnetic phase of the one-band Hubbard model is studied at zero-temperature, within the framework of dynamical mean-field theory, and for general particle-hole asymmetry where a doping-induced Mott transition occurs. Our primary focus is the Mott insulator (MI) phase, and our main aim to establish what can be shown exactly about it. To handle the locally doubly-degenerate MI requires two distinct self-energies, which reflect the broken symmetry nature of the phase and together determine the standard single self-energy. Exact results are obtained for the local charge, local magnetic moment and associated spin susceptibilities, the interaction-renormalised levels, and the low-energy behaviour of the self-energy in the MI phase. The metallic phase is also considered briefly, and shown to acquire an emergent particle-hole symmetry as the Mott transition is approached. Throughout the metal, Luttinger's theorem is reflected in the vanishing of the Luttinger integral; for the generic MI by contrast this is shown to be non-vanishing, but again to have a universal magnitude. Numerical results are also obtained using NRG, for the metal/MI phase boundary, the scaling behaviour of the charge as the Mott transition is aproached from the metal, and associated universal scaling of single-particle dynamics as the low-energy Kondo scale vanishes.

description: This master's paper explores the impetus for data stewardship policies and guidelines and describes an empirical study conducted to assess the feasibility of employing OAI-PMH as a tool to enable institutions to track data stewardship activities.   Quantitative analyses of Dublin Core metadata harvested from twelve data-specific repositories were used to make conclusions about the current state of OAI-PMH implementation, to consider ways in which the unique properties of scholarly domains and their data might be reflected in metadata values, and to suggest steps repositories can take to enable the development and implementation of a federated index of distributed data records as a tool to support the sustainability of the research enterprise.

Statistical inference problems with applications to computational structural biology

description: In this data pervasive world, the efficient and accurate modelling of data is crucial to support reliable analyses and to improve the solution to related problems. In order to describe the given data, the problem of selecting a suitable model has to be carefully addressed. Traditional approaches to the problem of optimal model selection have relied predominantly on the number of model parameters rather than the actual parameters themselves. This limits the ability of traditional methods to correctly distinguish among models that, while being of different type, have the same number of model parameters. In order to address the problem of model selection satisfactorily, this thesis explores the Bayesian information-theoretic principle of minimum message length (MML). The inference framework based on the MML principle enables the optimal selection of models by using the constituent parameters to better balance the trade-off between the model’s complexity and its goodness-of-fit to the data. The core of this thesis explores the MML-based inference of some of the commonly used probability distributions whose parameters have not yet been characterized and of mixtures of these probability distributions. The models of these probability distributions allow for accurate modelling of data in the Euclidean space and data that is directional in nature. These probabilistic models and their mixtures have widespread uses in statistical machine learning tasks. In this context, we have developed a general purpose search method to determine the optimal number of mixture components and their parameters that describe the given data in a completely unsupervised setting. The use of the MML modelling paradigm and our proposed search method is explored in detail on a variety of real-world data, specifically on directional text data and on the spatial orientation data of protein three-dimensional structures. Further, mixtures of directional probability distributions have facilitated the design of reliable computational models for protein structural data. Furthermore, the inference framework has been used for concise representations of protein folding patterns using a combination of non-linear parametric curves. The results of this work have a wide-variety of important uses including direct applications in protein structural biology.

Moving Forward: Shifting Perspectives on the “Protocols for Native American Archival Materials” in the Archives Community
Creators: name: Moen, Kelsey

Year: 2018

description: In 2007 a group of nineteen tribal leaders, archivists, librarians, and information professionals came together to create a document of suggested best practices for the care of Native American collections held by non-Native institutions. Called “The Protocols for Native American Archival Materials,” the focus of the document was to encourage institutions to build a collaborative relationship with the tribes reflected in their records. In 2008 the Protocols were proposed to the Society of American Archivists (SAA) for endorsement. SAA declined to endorse the Protocols and controversy among the archival community ensued; however, a decade later the SAA Council voted to officially endorse the Protocols as an external standard. By analyzing the relevant published literature and discussion on public and professional archival forums, this study aims to discover what in the shifting archival zeitgeist over the past ten years has prompted SAA’s reversal on the topic.

description: The remote lower Cambrian Byrd group of sedimentary rocks from East Antarctica has been studied intermittently since its discovery over a century ago. Previous insights into the trilobites and archaeocyaths therefrom indicated a close correlation to the units within the sedimentary sequences of South Australia. The lowest unit of the Byrd Group is the fossiliferous Shackleton Limestone which overlies the Neoproterozoic metamorphic rocks of the Beardmore Group and is representative of a long period of carbonate shelf formation on a passive margin with the Palaeo-Pacific. This was truncated by marine transgression and the deposition of the deeper-water calcareous siltstones of the fossiliferous Holyoake Formation. This unit is overlain by the Starshot Formation and all three units are cross-cut by the Douglas Conglomerate, heralding the start of a collisional tectonic regime between the East Gondwana and palaeo-Pacific plates. The first systematically sampled and analysed sections through the carbonate Shackleton Limestone and argillaceous Holyoake Formation have yielded a new fauna of small primarily phosphatic and secondarily phosphatised shelly fossils. The abundant molluscs, brachiopods and tommotiids are reported here. These findings facilitate correlation of this section to the fossil biozones established for the lower Cambrian of South Australia, including the Dailyatia odyssei small shelly fossil Taxon Range Zone and the Pararaia janeae Taxon Range Trilobite Zone. Chemostratigraphic data from three sections preserve the profiles of two major stable carbon isotope excursions: the Mingxinsi Carbon Isotope Excursion and the Archaeocyathid Extinction Carbon isotope Excursion. The combination of these two lines of evidence are a strong indicator for Cambrian Series 2, early to mid-Stage 4 age. This is corroborated by newly described D. odyssei-P. janeae Taxon Range Zone small shelly fossils from the carbonate clasts from the Cambrian Stage 4 White Point Conglomerate of South Australia which bear strong similarity to the fauna of the Shackleton Limestone. Palaeobiogeographically the fauna recovered from the Byrd Group is remarkably similar to the East Gondwanan region of South Australia, with similar brachiopod assemblages to those recovered from the Xinji Formation of North China and molluscan assemblages to the Bastion Formation of North-East Greenland.

description: After leaving the Sun's corona, the solar wind continues to accelerate and cools, but more slowly than expected for a freely expanding adiabatic gas. We use in situ measurements from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter spacecrafts to investigate a stream of solar wind as it traverses the inner heliosphere. The observations show heating and acceleration of the the plasma between the outer edge of the corona and near the orbit of Venus, in connection to the presence of large amplitude Alfvén waves. Alfvén waves are perturbations in the interplanetary magnetic field that transport energy. Our calculations show the damping and mechanical work performed by the Alfvén waves is sufficient to power the heating and acceleration of the fast solar wind in the inner heliosphere.

description: The work considers the modelling of nearby supernova (SN) effects on Earth's biosphere via cosmic rays (CRs) accelerated by shockwaves. The rise of the radiation background on Earth resulted from the external irradiation by CR high-energy particles and internal radiation in organisms by the decay of cosmogenic ${}^{14}$C is evaluated. We have taken into account that the CR flux near Earth goes up steeply when the shockwave crosses the Solar System, while in previous works the CR transport was considered as purely diffusive. Our simulations demonstrate a high rise of the external ionization of the environments at Earth's surface by atmospheric cascade particles that penetrate the first 70-100 m of water depth. Also, the cosmogenic ${}^{14}$C decay is able to irradiate the entire biosphere and deep ocean organisms. We analyzed the probable increase in mutation rate and estimated the distance between Earth and an SN, where the lethal effects of irradiation are possible. Our simulations demonstrate that for SN energy of around $10^{51}$ erg the lethal distance could be $\sim$ 18 pc.

description: The digitization of archival materials and placing them online for use in the K-12  classroom is a practice that was popularized by the Library of Congress American  Memory Project, and has since been embraced by many in the archival community. This  paper reports on a study that investigated the practices and attitudes of North Carolina  K-12 public school teachers and the factors that they considered when deciding whether  or not to use the sources in their classrooms. Participants were asked questions as to  whether or not, why or why not, and how they used the sources in their instruction.  Overall, respondents reported a high rate of use of digitized sources, thus this high rate  may be over-stated.

description: We investigate hot carrier propagation across graphene using an electrical nonlocal injection/detection method. The device consists of a monolayer graphene flake contacted by multiple metal leads. Using two remote leads for electrical heating, we generate a carrier temperature gradient that results in a measurable thermoelectric voltage VNL across the remaining (detector) leads. Due to the nonlocal character of the measurement, VNL is exclusively due to the Seebeck effect. Remarkably, a departure from the ordinary relationship between Joule power P and VNL, VNL ~ P, becomes readily apparent at low temperatures, representing a fingerprint of hot-carrier dominated thermoelectricity. By studying VNL as a function of bias, we directly determine the carrier temperature and the characteristic cooling length for hot-carrier propagation, which are key parameters for a variety of new applications that rely on hot-carrier transport.

description: This study examines how Association of Research Library (ARL)-member institutions are meeting the challenges of electronic journals in terms of staffing.  The differences between the linear print journal workflow and the more time-consuming, nonlinear electronic journal workflow are discussed.  ARL members are dealing with the increased demand on staff and workload caused by e-journals in different ways.  Most of the respondents did not have a job upgrade, but did receive informal training.  New positions have been created to deal with e-journals in acquisitions, serials, and cataloging departments.  Other specialty positions have been created that require eclectic duties normally relegated to individual departments.  There is at least some standardization now in the libraries' procedures for negotiating license agreements.  However, libraries continue struggling to integrate e-journals seamlessly into their workflow without upsetting the pre-existing departmental structure.  The overriding effect of e-journals on staff appears to be increased synergy and broader specialization.

description: The phenomenon of half-spectral unidirectional invisibility is introduced for one-dimensional periodic optical structures with tailored real and imaginary refractive index distributions in a non-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric configuration. The effect refers to the property that the optical medium appears to be invisible, both in reflection and transmission, below the Bragg frequency when probed from one side, and above the Bragg frequency when probed from the opposite side. Half-spectral invisibility is obtained by a combination of in-phase index and gain gratings whose spatial amplitudes are related each other by a Hilbert transform.

description: Very recently we have shown that the spherical transform is a convenient tool for studying the relation between the joint density of the singular values and that of the eigenvalues for bi-unitarily invariant random matrices. In the present work we discuss the implications of these results for products of random matrices. In particular, we derive a transformation formula for the joint densities of a product of two independent bi-unitarily invariant random matrices, the first from a polynomial ensemble and the second from a polynomial ensemble of derivative type. This allows us to re-derive and generalize a number of recent results in random matrix theory, including a transformation formula for the kernels of the corresponding determinantal point processes. Starting from these results, we construct a continuous family of random matrix ensembles interpolating between the products of different numbers of Ginibre matrices and inverse Ginibre matrices. Furthermore, we make contact to the asymptotic distribution of the Lyapunov exponents of the products of a large number of bi-unitarily invariant random matrices of fixed dimension.

description: It is becoming increasingly evident that blended learning can overcome various limitations related to face-to-face instruction and online learning. Many studies have found that blended learning is becoming the norm for course delivery in higher education, with students identifying blended courses as best supporting how they learn. The question, therefore, has shifted from “Whether to blend or not?” to “how to design a successful blend?”. The literature shows that designing blended learning courses is still a major challenge for many academics in the higher education field. To enhance the understanding of blended learning course design and contribute towards the developing of the existing literature in this area, this research investigated the design of blended learning courses. It focused on two major design challenges: (i) deciding the proportion of online to face-to-face components to be incorporated into a blended course; and (ii) selecting the most appropriate delivery methods to achieve the course outcomes. A Delphi study of two rounds was conducted to identify and rate the importance of criteria that might influence each design challenge. Another Delphi study of two rounds was also conducted to assess the impacts of the identified criteria on the design of blended courses. The results of the two Delphi studies have informed the development of a blended learning design toolkit that can assist academics in designing their courses. The toolkit was developed as an online tool using C# and ASP.NET. The toolkit was also evaluated using a functional testing, a performance testing and an evaluation survey with 12 experts. The evaluation results demonstrated that the toolkit provides a clear, simple and efficient blended learning design process that can foster thinking about how to better design a blended course.

description: This study evaluates monograph acquisition decisions at an academic health sciences library using circulation and acquisitions data. The goal was to provide insight regarding how to allocate library funds to support research and education in disciplines of interest to the library user base. Data analysis revealed that allocations in 13 subject areas should be reviewed as the cost of circulation was greater than the average cost of circulation of the sample and the average cost of monographs was higher in these subject areas than the average cost of monographs in the sample. In contrast, 13 subjects returned cost of circulation rates lower than the average cost of circulation of the sample. These subjects merit stable budget allocation or increased allocation depending upon collection needs. Overall, this study found that this library is allocating a majority of resources to subjects with above average rates of use.

description: In calculations of gravitational collapse to form black holes, trapping horizons (foliated by marginally trapped surfaces) make their first appearance either within the collapsing matter or where it joins on to a vacuum exterior. Those which then move outwards with respect to the matter have been proposed for use in defining black holes, replacing the global concept of an "event horizon" which has some serious drawbacks for practical applications. We here present results from a study of the properties of both outgoing and ingoing trapping horizons, assuming strict spherical symmetry throughout. We have investigated their causal nature (i.e. whether they are spacelike, timelike or null), making contact with the Misner-Sharp- Hernandez formalism, which has often been used for numerical calculations of spherical collapse. We follow two different approaches, one using a geometrical quantity related to expansions of null geodesic congruences, and the other using the horizon velocity measured with respect to the collapsing matter. After an introduction to these concepts, we then implement them within numerical simulations of stellar collapse, revisiting pioneering calculations from the 1960s where some features of the emergence and subsequent behaviour of trapping horizons could already be seen. Our presentation here is aimed firmly at "real world" applications of interest to astrophysicists and includes the effects of pressure, which may be important for the asymptotic behaviour of the ingoing horizon.

description: Physical experiments can characterize the elastic response of granular materials in terms of macroscopic state-variables, namely volume (packing) fraction and stress, while the microstructure is not accessible and thus neglected. Here, by means of numerical simulations, we analyze dense, frictionless, granular assemblies with the final goal to relate the elastic moduli to the fabric state, i.e., to micro-structural averaged contact network features as contact number density and anisotropy. The particle samples are first isotropically compressed and later quasi-statically sheared under constant volume (undrained conditions). From various static, relaxed configurations at different shear strains, now infinitesimal strain steps are applied to "measure" the effective elastic response; we quantify the strain needed so that plasticity in the sample develops as soon as contact and structure rearrangements happen. Because of the anisotropy induced by shear, volumetric and deviatoric stresses and strains are cross-coupled via a single anisotropy modulus, which is proportional to the product of deviatoric fabric and bulk modulus (i.e. the isotropic fabric). Interestingly, the shear modulus of the material depends also on the actual stress state, along with the contact configuration anisotropy. Finally, a constitutive model based on incremental evolution equations for stress and fabric is introduced. By using the previously measured dependence of the stiffness tensor (elastic moduli) on the microstructure, the theory is able to predict with good agreement the evolution of pressure, shear stress and deviatoric fabric (anisotropy) for an independent undrained cyclic shear test, including the response to reversal of strain.

description: This paper discusses the possibility of traversable wormholes in the galactic region supported by dark matter (DM) models and global monopole charge in the context of $f(Q)$ gravity. To understand the features of the wormholes, we comprehensively studied wormhole solutions with various redshift functions under different $f(Q)$ models. We obtained wormhole shape functions for Pseudo Isothermal (PI) and Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) DM profiles under linear $f(Q)$ gravity. In contrast, we employed an embedding class I approach for the non-linear $f(Q)$ models to investigate wormholes. We noticed that our obtained shape functions satisfy the flare-out conditions under an asymptotic background for each DM profile. Moreover, we checked the energy conditions at the wormhole throat with a radius $r_0$ and noticed the influences of the global monopole's parameter $η$ in the violation of energy conditions, especially null energy conditions. Further, for the non-linear case, we observed that wormhole solutions could not exist for $f(Q)=Q+mQ^n$, $f(Q)=Q+\fracβ{Q}$, and $f(Q)=α_1+β_1 \log(Q)$ under embedding class I approach. Finally, we study the amount of exotic matter via the volume integral quantifier technique for the linear $f(Q)$ model, and we confirm that a small amount of exotic matter is required to sustain the traversable wormholes.

description: This paper examines the issues surrounding collection-building for comics collections in academic libraries. The small body of literature concerning librarianship related to comics is summarized, and strategies for the evaluation and acquisition of comics are discussed. The prevailing ideologies concerning collection development in academic libraries are considered relative to a discussion of comics as a distinct medium. It is proposed that academic libraries should collect comics as a mode of representing the emerging visual culture of contemporary society.
