description: If training students for an unknown future is a hallmark of today's education, then providing the skills for coping with future demands is an essential feature of the educational experience. Nowhere is this more evident than in academic libraries where the use and application of information technology have dramatically increased. While the new technology expands access to information, it also establishes some serious barriers for many students. This paper describes a pilot project, an Electronic Information Clinic established at the Alexander Library, Rutgers-the State University in New Brunswick, NJ, USA. The Clinic was designed to provide on-site counseling in the use of electronic resources and to help students contextualize electronic information sources in the context of overall library resources. The findings of this project will identify the electronic databases used by different user groups as well as the levels of user understanding in the use of these electronic databases. Projects like the Electronic Information Clinic can aid librarians to re-conceptualize service configurations in an emerging electronic library environment.

Topological design of 2D phononic bandgap crystals with the six-fold symmetry or the reduced symmetry
Creators: name: Zhang, Zhaoxuan
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Phononic crystals are novel artificial periodical materials which exhibit phononic bandgaps preventing the propagation of acoustic or elastic waves in a particular frequency range. Zhaoxuan Zhang investigates the topology optimization of two-dimensional solid phononic crystals for maximizing specified bandgaps with different lattices and symmetries based on the bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization method. The research exhibits many novel patterns with large band gaps for different wave modes and systematically discusses the influences of lattice type and symmetry on phononic bandgap size. The efficiency and ability in opening wide bandgaps of the proposed gradient-based BESO method has also been proved.

description: Die Archivierung von Medienkunst gewinnt in der internationalen Fachwelt zunehmend an Bedeutung. In den vergangenen drei Dekaden entstand eine Vielzahl künstlerisch wertvoller Arbeiten, die aber bislang durch die bestehenden Archive kaum erfasst wurden. Ihre Sicherung und Restaurierung ist eine wesentliche Zukunftsaufgabe für diesen Archivbereich, da Videobänder, Filme, analoge Trägermaterialien, aber auch CDs und DVDs nur über eine begrenzte Lebensdauer verfügen.

Das gemeinsame KUR-Projekt zur Konservierung und Restaurierung von mobilem Kulturgut zielt auf die elektronische Aufarbeitung ausgewählter Bestände dieser vier einzigartigen Sammlungen und darauf, sie der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen. Ein wichtiger Bestandteil dieser Arbeit ist die Entwicklung einer exemplarischen Datenbank-, Archiv- und Präsentationsstruktur, die es auch kleineren Archiven und anderen Institutionen ermöglicht, anzudocken und eigene Bestände aufzuarbeiten. Die Technik von »mediaartbase.de« basiert weitgehend auf Open-Source-Software, um eine kostengünstige, dezentrale Datenbank zu schaffen und neue Inhalte mit bereits vorhandenem Datenmaterial verknüpfen zu können.

Fragment class analysis for testing of polymorphism in Java software

Publisher: name: Rutgers University
Year: 2002

description: Adequate testing of polymorphism in object-oriented software requires coverage of all possible bindings of receiver classes and target methods at call sites. Tools that measure this coverage need to use class analysis to compute the coverage requirements. However, traditional whole-program class analysis cannot be used when testing partial programs. To solve this problem, we present a general approach for adapting whole-program class analyses to operate on program fragments. Furthermore, since analysis precision is critical for coverage tools, we provide precision measurements for several analyses by determining which of the computed coverage requirements are actually feasible. Our work enables the use of whole-program class analyses for testing of polymorphism in partial programs, and identifies analyses that compute precise coverage requirements and therefore are good candidates for use in coverage tools.

description: Background Human placental DNA methylation (DNAme) data is a valuable resource for studying sex differences during gestation, as DNAme profiles after delivery reflect the cumulative effects of gene expression patterns and exposures across gestation. Here, we present an analysis of sex differences in autosomal DNAme in the uncomplicated term placenta (n = 343) using the Illumina 450K array. Results At a false discovery rate < 0.05 and a mean sex difference in DNAme beta value of > 0.10, we identified 162 autosomal CpG sites that were differentially methylated by sex and replicated in an independent cohort of samples (n = 293). Several of these differentially methylated CpG sites were part of larger correlated regions of sex differential DNAme. Although global DNAme levels did not differ by sex, the majority of significantly differentially methylated CpGs were more highly methylated in male placentae, the opposite of what is seen in differential methylation analyses of somatic tissues. Patterns of autosomal DNAme at these 162 CpGs were significantly associated with maternal age (in males) and newborn birthweight standard deviation (in females). Conclusions Our results provide a comprehensive analysis of sex differences in autosomal DNAme in the term human placenta. We report a list of high-confidence autosomal sex-associated differentially methylated CpGs and identify several key features of these loci that suggest their relevance to sex differences observed in normative and complicated pregnancies.

description: Objectives: Diagnosed clinical abruption showing blood clot should be signed out in the pathology report as retroplacental hemorrhage with or without parenchymal indentation, and submitted clot separate from the placenta should be weighed. In our experience some cases sent as clinical abruptions have been cases of morbid adherence. This study was undertaken to evaluate the association of retroplacental blood with basal plate myofibers (BPMF). Methods: 156 placentas reviewed by a board certified pediatric pathologist at a community hospital were evaluated for significant retroplacental blood. Basal plates were reviewed for deviations from normal. Results: 33/156 placentas (21%) had significant retroplacental blood. 21/156 (13%) had a separate clot, of which 11/21 (52%) had basal plate myofibers (BPMF). 11 BPMF‐associated separate clots ranged from 10.5‐60 gms (average 23); while the clots of 10 cases with no demonstrated BPMF ranged from 19‐440 gms (average 82), tending to be larger (p<.03). Basal plate damage prior to delivery was noted in both sets of placentas. BPMF placentas could have myometrial damage prior to delivery. Conclusions: Since BPMF may confer a risk for accreta in a subsequent pregnancy, submission of a separate clot with the placenta should lead the pathologist to evaluate for basal plate myofibers on H&E, and consider if there is an evidencebased indication to do an actin stain; before presuming a diagnosis of abruption.

description: Background This is a rare and challenging case of Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome due to a posteroseptal accessory pathway located in the coronary sinus diverticulum. It is often difficult to precisely locate this type of accessory pathway, and the ablation procedure could be associated with collateral damage to the neighbouring coronary arteries. Case Presentation The patient was a 49-year-old female with Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome who was referred for catheter ablation. She had had a previous unsuccessful attempt at ablation and had remained symptomatic despite drug therapy. The pre-procedural cardiac computed tomography scan revealed the presence of a diverticulum in the proximal coronary sinus. Using an advanced three-dimensional cardiac mapping system, the electroanatomic map of the diverticulum was created. The accessory pathway potential was identified within the diverticulum preceding the ventricular insertion. The accessory pathway was then successfully ablated using radiofrequency energy. Conclusion We have demonstrated that the advanced three-dimensional cardiac mapping system plays a very important role in guiding clinicians in order to precisely locate and safely ablate this type of challenging accessory pathway.

Mood fluctuation and psychobiological instability: The same core functions are disrupted by novel psychoactive substances and established recreational drugs
Creators: name: Parrott, Andrew C.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Many novel psychoactive substances (NPS) have entered the recreational drug scene in recent years, yet the problems they cause are similar to those found with established drugs. This article will debate the psychobiological effects of these newer and more traditional substances. It will show how they disrupt the same core psychobiological functions, so damaging well-being in similar ways. Every psychoactive drug causes mood states to fluctuate. Users feel better on-drug, then feel worse off-drug. The strength of these mood fluctuations is closely related to their addiction potential. Cyclical changes can occur with many other core psychobiological functions, such as information processing and psychomotor speed. Hence the list of drug-related impairments can include: homeostatic imbalance, HPA axis disruption, increased stress, altered sleep patterns, neurohormonal changes, modified brain rhythms, neurocognitive impairments, and greater psychiatric vulnerability. Similar patterns of deficit are found with older drugs such as cocaine, nicotine and cannabis, and newer substances such as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), mephedrone and spice. All psychoactive drugs damage human well-being through similar basic neuropsychobiological mechanisms.

Fast search methods for biological sequence databases

description: Biology researchers have a pressing need for data management technologies which will make the storage and retrieval of DNA and protein sequence data accurate and efficient. The volume of data generated by DNA sequencing is already massive and will continue to grow rapidly. Even if the current sequence databases are adequate today, they most assuredly will become inadequate in the future when far more sequence data has been determined. The direction of future research in sequence databases needs to be in the organization of information. This is so that the volume of data needing to be searched does not grow linearly with the volume of sequence data being discovered. We propose to develop an index structure and retrieval system called PROXIMAL for biological sequence databases which promises to be efficient and general. This organization of the databases will complement other current efforts at sequence comparison and analysis, by providing an infrastructure in which other methods can be used to efficiently locate desired sequences. Our method relies on the use of reference strings to partition the database of sequences. It is efficient since the use of multiple reference strings for any given distance measure greatly reduces the number of sequences that must be examined, allowing us to quickly locate sequences based on a precomputed metric. It is general since multiple distance measures can be used. These include at least differing gap and mismatch weights for the basic edit distance calculation, or entirely different models of mutation. The only requirement is that there is a metric structure - mainly, that the calculations satisfy the triangle inequality. This is a weak requirement that is satisfied by many interesting measures, including those currently in wide use for sequence comparison.

Quantitative microbial risk assessment

description: Foodborne illness outbreaks have been increasingly linked to the consumption of fresh and frozen berries that were contaminated with pathogenic viruses, such as human norovirus (NoV). Contamination of berries is assumed to take place at harvest by the use of contaminated water for pesticide dilution, irrigation water source or by shedding berry pickers in the field. A quantitative microbial risk assessment simulation model was built to replicate the largest known NoV outbreak which sickened about 11,000 people over a 3-week period. The outbreak occurred in Germany in 2012 when contaminated frozen strawberries were served at nearly 400 schools and daycare centers. The risk model explicitly assumed that all contamination would arise from NoV contamination of surface water used for pesticide dilution. Input data was collected from the published literature, observational studies and assumptions. The model starts with contamination of the berries in the field, and proceeds through transportation to processing facility, washing, sanitizing, freezing, frozen transport to cargo ship, transport view of cargo ship, transport to distribution center, frozen storage at the distribution center, transport to the catering facility, food service preparation and consumption, dose response, and predicted illnesses. A total of 21 scenarios were chosen to evaluate the impact of model parameters on the number of illness associated with NoV contamination of berries. Scenarios evaluated include the initial level of NoV in surface water, the effect of seasonality on the prevalence of NoV in surface water, the strength of the pesticide used, the volume of water used to dilute the pesticide, temperature during transportation to processing facility, washing and sanitizing conditions at processing facility and preparation (heat-treatment) of berries prior to consumption. Scenarios were compared via the Factor Sensitivity technique where the logarithm of the ratio of mean illnesses was used to compare different assumptions. The input that had the greatest effect on increasing in the number of illnesses was a high NoV concentration in the water (8 log Genome Copies/L) when compared to the baseline scenario with resulting mean illnesses of 7,964 illnesses and ~2 illnesses, respectively. This assumption about the concentration of virus in the pesticide makeup water was the only variable capable of producing an outbreak similar to that observed in Germany in 2012. Heat-treatment of the berries, use of a pesticide with strong antiviral effect, and assumption about the virus concentration in the pesticide make-up water had the largest impact on decreasing illnesses.

description: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a prevalent disorder characterized by recurrent episodic upper airway obstruction. Using data from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), we apply principal component analysis (PCA) to seven SDB-related measures. We estimate the associations of the top two SDB PCs with serum levels of 617 metabolites, in both single-metabolite analysis, and a joint penalized regression analysis. The discovery analysis includes 3299 individuals, with validation in a separate dataset of 1522 individuals. Five metabolite associations with SDB PCs are discovered and replicated. SDB PC1, characterized by frequent respiratory events common in older and male adults, is associated with pregnanolone and progesterone-related sulfated metabolites. SDB PC2, characterized by short respiratory event length and self-reported restless sleep, enriched in young adults, is associated with sphingomyelins. Metabolite risk scores (MRSs), representing metabolite signatures associated with the two SDB PCs, are associated with 6-year incident hypertension and diabetes. These MRSs have the potential to serve as biomarkers for SDB, guiding risk stratification and treatment decisions.

description: Poor infrastructure practices that do not reflect principles of inclusiveness can create real barriers for women which prevent them from effectively participating in the economy. In light of these challenges, we provide a narrative review of studies on the gendered effects of physical and social infrastructure development. We provide a critical analysis of the methodologies commonly used in such studies, and we integrate analysis of strengths and weaknesses of each method in the context of measuring women's empowerment. We conclude with implications for policy and needs for future research. Ultimately, incorporating gender dimensions into infrastructure planning matters not only for individual well-being but also for promoting overall inclusive and sustainable development.

description: The microstructure of suspensions of ferromagnetic particles with subwavelength size can be controlled by an external field, making it possible to develop novel broadband acoustic materials with anisotropic and tunable acoustic properties. In this study we experimentally show that dilute suspensions of nickel micro-flakes exhibit a greater than 20% change in attenuation coefficient at MHz frequencies upon changing the direction of an external magnetic field, at particle volume fractions of only 0.5%. Optical transmission measurements and analysis of the characteristic timescales of particle alignment and chaining are used to study the mechanisms behind this acoustic anisotropy. By making comparison to suspensions of spherical particles, we show that the shape and orientation of the nickel micro-flakes play important roles in the tunable acoustic attenuation of these suspensions.

description: This study models associations among intimacy, relational uncertainty, partner interference, relational turmoil, and topic avoidance in Korean and American romantic relationships. We surveyed 294 individuals from the United States (N = 156) and South Korea (N = 138). The American model indicated that intimacy was negatively associated with relational uncertainty and curvilinearly associated with partner interference, relational uncertainty was positively associated with topic avoidance, and partner interference was positively associated with perceived turmoil. The South Korean model revealed that intimacy was negatively associated with relational uncertainty, both relational uncertainty and partner interference were positively associated with perceived turmoil, which was positively associated with topic avoidance. Although the American and Korean models were statistically invariant, some notable cultural differences are discussed.

description: Smart personal devices equipped with a wide range of sensors and peripherals can potentially be misused in various environments. They can be used to exfiltrate sensitive information from enterprises and federal offices or be used to smuggle unauthorized information into classrooms and examination halls. One way to prevent these situations is to regulate how smart devices are used in such restricted spaces. In this paper, we present an approach that robustly achieves this goal for ARM TrustZone-based personal devices. In our approach, restricted space hosts use remote memory operations to analyze and regulate guest devices within the restricted space. We show that the ARM TrustZone allows our approach to obtain strong security guarantees while only requiring a small trusted computing base to execute on guest devices.
Unifying Access and Resource Usage Control over Standard Client-Server Interactions

description: We propose a novel framework for integrated access and resource usage control over standard clientserver interactions. Historically, access control has been developed without considering resource usage. Resource control has thus developed as an ad hoc server-centric set of mechanisms (e.g., file system quota, network bandwidth quote, etc.). We believe that resource usage control is strongly related to access control and so should be implemented using a unified, global enforcement framework. We introduce such a framework, where services have resource usage constraints and principals have resource usage histories. To access and use a service, a principal must have the appropriate access and sufficient resource usage rights when considering its usage history. Our framework is able to enforce global stateful policies, yet do not require changes to existing message-passing applications. We have built a prototype and used it to specify and enforce an example policy that includes role-based control and delegation. We applied our system to control access and resource usage for three different services, network, DNS, and SMB file systems, to demonstrate its effectiveness and wide applicability.

description: The threat of agricultural terrorism has increasing become the focal point of interest for government, industry, and the public. As such, interviews were conducted with 1,001 American adults to examine their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of the risks associated with contamination of the food supply and their likely responses to the threat of deliberate food contamination. Respondents were also randomly assigned to be interviewed about attitudes and behaviors related to one of four contaminants (anthrax, botulism, salmonella, and cyanide) that might be used in a deliberate contamination incident. The results suggest that Americans know little about the food supply chain or about likely points of vulnerability within the system. Yet, more than half say they have thought about terrorism and the food supply. The majority also say that future terrorist attacks on the food and water supply within the United States are likely, and are only somewhat confident in the ability of grocery stores and the federal government to ensure food safety. More than one-fifth believe that deliberate contamination already occurs at least ‘somewhat often’. While perceived risk varied based on the type of contaminant used in a deliberate attack on the food supply, there were no differences in respondents’ affective reactions. However, when asked to predict their behaviors in a deliberate food contamination event, there were differences reported in confidence in the food supply, the amount of food respondents would purchase, and in the length of time it would take for them to resume their pre-contamination buying behaviors.

description: This qualitative study examines the delivery of person-centered care in Medicaid-funded supportive housing for adults with serious mental illness. While much work has been done to promote the uptake of a person-centered approach in healthcare, less is known about how this approach functions in homeless services and supportive housing where many individuals with mental health issues receive rehabilitative services. A total of 84 semi-structured interviews were collected from a purposeful sample of 35 frontline providers. Transcripts were analyzed inductively using Boytazis’ thematic analysis. Three principle themes characterize the dilemmas experienced by street-level workers in these programs: (1) Putting the “consumer first” vs. achieving maximum billing; (2) Doing the "real work" vs. paperwork; and (3) Juggling clinical supervision vs. administrative oversight. In order to meet the demands of Medicaid, as well as the expectation for person-centered care delivery, providers enacted several discretionary strategies at the street-level: (1) Staying late and taking work home; (2) Padding the numbers; (3) Offering service recipients small choices; (4) Redirecting small talk to get to billable goal talk; and (5) Keeping consumers home. Findings highlight tensions between the accountability-focused fee-for-service model and the prioritization of consumer choice and individualization of services in person-centered care delivery.

description: Biederman's introduction of geons to the vision community has spawned considerable interest in building geon-based vision systems. However, numerous issues must be addressed before such systems can make a practical contribution to machine vision. At IJCAI, 1993, a group of distinguished researchers, each of whom has worked with geon-based recognition, was brought together to form a panel whose goal was to identify and discuss these issues. This paper is based on that panel discussion.

description: African pilgrimage to the Mecca date back to the early years of Islam through the Sahara desert. The perception of this group of pilgrims as they embark on the sacred Mina prayer rituals directly translates to how they perceived crowding in Mina. Hajj rituals are carried out at Mina for a minimum of three days. The optimum provision and continuous improvements of the facilities for pilgrims determines how this group reacts to the crowded environment which invariably affects their psychology. This paper assesses the impacts of personal fac-tors (control, expectation, mood and sociability) and social factors (interpersonal similarity, provision of information and activities) on crowding levels perception among pilgrim groups from African origins. A self-administered survey instrument was used in the collection of data from the African origin Hajj group totaling 156 in number. Data analysis was carried out utilizing SPSS on the descriptive data and AMOS for multivariate Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The survey instruments internal consistency, sample adequacy Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) found that the validity was within acceptable thresholds. The pilgrim groups from African origins measurement model revealed that sociability and interpersonal similarity had the highest correlation while level of perceived crowing and activities had the lowest correlation. Furthermore, for personal factors, sociability had the highest inverse impact and for social factors, interpersonal similarity. The authorities formulating policies to managing crowd levels and perception will invari-ably be affected by adapting these research findings to improve the Hajj experience. Subsequently, assessing several other factors, which effect Hajj pilgrims such as physical factors, provides an avenue for future research.

description: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a facilitatory role in neuronal development and promotion of differentiation. Mechanisms that oppose BDNF's stimulatory effects create balance and regulate dendritic growth. However, these mechanisms have not been studied. We have focused our studies on the BDNFinduced neuropeptide OrphaninFQ/Nociceptin (OFQ); while BDNF is known to enhance synaptic activity, OFQ has opposite effects on activity, learning and memory. We have now examined whether OFQ provides a balance to the stimulatory effects of BDNF on neuronal differentiation in the hippocampus. Golgi staining in OFQ knockout (KO) mice revealed an increase in primary dendrite length as well as spine density, suggesting that endogenous OFQ inhibits dendritic morphology. We have also used cultured hippocampal neurons to demonstrate that exogenous OFQ has an inhibitory effect on dendritic growth and that the neuropeptide alters the response to BDNF when re-administered. To determine if BDNF and OFQ act in a feedback loop, we inhibited the actions of the BDNF and OFQ receptors, TrkB and NOP using ANA-12 and NOP KO mice respectively but our data suggests that the two factors do not act in a negative feedback loop. We found that the inhibition of dendritic morphology induced by OFQ is via enhanced RhoA activity. Finally, we have evidence that RhoA activation is required for the inhibitory effects of OFQ on dendritic morphology. Our results reveal basic mechanisms by which neurons not only regulate the formation of proper dendritic growth during development but also control plasticity in the mature nervous system.

description: BACKGROUND: Neck pain in a concussion population is an emerging area of study that has been shown to have a negative influence on recovery. This effect has not yet been studied in collegiate athletes.
HYPOTHESIS: New or worsened neck pain is common after a concussion (>30%), negatively influences recovery, and is associated with patient sex and level of contact in sport.
STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2.
METHODS: Varsity-level athletes from 29 National Collegiate Athletic Association member institutions as well as nonvarsity sport athletes at military service academies were eligible for enrollment. Participants completed a preseason baseline assessment and follow-up assessments at 6 and 24 to 48 hours after a concussion, when they were symptom-free, and when they returned to unrestricted play. Data collection occurred between January 2014 and September 2018.
RESULTS: A total of 2163 injuries were studied. New or worsened neck pain was reported with 47.0% of injuries. New or worsened neck pain was associated with patient sex (higher in female athletes), an altered mental status after the injury, the mechanism of injury, and what the athlete collided with. The presence of new/worsened neck pain was associated with delayed recovery. Those with new or worsened neck pain had 11.1 days of symptoms versus 8.8 days in those without (P < .001). They were also less likely to have a resolution of self-reported symptoms in ≤7 days (P < .001). However, the mean duration of the return-to-play protocol was not significantly different for those with new or worsened neck pain (7.5 ± 7.7 days) than those without (7.4 ± 8.3 days) (P = .592).
CONCLUSION: This novel study shows that neck pain was common in collegiate athletes sustaining a concussion, was influenced by many factors, and negatively affected recovery.
