An approach to the impact of Cuban research on information literacy
Creators: name: González-Valiente, Carlos Luis
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Library and Information Studies
subject: FOS: Media and communications

description: Objective: carry out an impact analysis of Cuban publications on INFOLIT
produced by Cuban authors in the period 2000-2013, based on the number of
citations received.
Methods: the papers cited were selected from among the 67 papers contained in
the Wiki-Repository INFOLIT / Ibero-America-Cuba, and the citation sources were
extracted from the database Google Scholar. The bibliometric indicators used were
citations per year, type of citation source, citing journals, most cited authors and
papers, and term co-occurrence analysis.
Results: 337 citations were identified. Their increase started in the year 2007,
when more than 50 % of the papers published each year have received at least one
citation. Most of the citation sources were scientific journals, mostly Latin American
and from the areas of health, medicine, and library and information sciences, of
which 19.69 % were mainstream. Topic correspondence between citing and cited
papers was high, with a predominance of the central topics INFOLIT and
information competencies in the domain of medicine and health. This trend was
also the most perceptible among the most cited Cuban papers, showing high
citation indices for few published papers.
Conclusions: the impact analysis of Cuban research on INFOLIT herein presented
shows the great relevance of these studies for both the national and the
international scientific community.

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming industries globally. However, its adoption by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries like Nigeria remains limited. This study aims to investigate the impact of AI infrastructures on the performance of SMEs in Edo State, Nigeria. The research explores the relationship between AI infrastructure components, including data, computational power, and skilled workforce, and key performance indicators of SMEs. Through a mixed-methods approach, the study analyzes the challenges and opportunities associated with AI adoption, such as data quality, computational resources, and lack of technical expertise. The findings suggest that AI infrastructure can significantly enhance SME performance by improving decision-making, optimizing operations, and enabling innovation. However, several barriers hinder AI adoption, including high costs, lack of awareness, and regulatory challenges. To address these issues, the study proposes strategies such as government support, capacity-building programs, and collaborative partnerships. By understanding the impact of AI infrastructures on SMEs, policymakers, businesses, and researchers can work together to accelerate AI adoption and unlock its potential for economic growth and social development in Nigeria.

"Symbols and systems!": exploring the politics of urban fallism in the U.S. South
Creators: name: Akbari, Samantha Bowden
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Since 2015, a contemporary, Black-led social movement to remake cultural landscapes through the removal of symbols of white supremacy has taken hold in the United States and beyond. This urban fallism movement has renovated public squares across the globe as a highly visual form of memory-work, or the labor deployed to create or adapt the cultural landscape by publicly working through histories of colonial, racial dispossession. This dissertation contributes to the field of human geography by exploring and interpreting the politics of urban fallism as highly variable forms of Black geographic memory-work reckoning with the symbols that trigger the wounds of colonial-racial dispossession. In order to understand the politics embedded in these conflicts, this study examines: 1) the Confederate monument fight in Tampa, Florida as a three-way (as opposed to two) political struggle over memory and meaning between monument defenders, neoliberal multiculturalists, and anti-racist activists; 2) the often-overlooked intersectional/Black feminist politics of gender and race in Confederate monument construction and removal; and 3) key waves of urban fallism in New Orleans, Louisiana more generally; 4) and more specifically, the “Take ‘Em Down, NOLA!” coalition’s decolonial approach to urban fallism and beyond. Finally, the cases of urban fallism in both cities are discussed in tandem to proffer insights from each as well as study limitations and future research.

Radio astronomical polarimetry and phase-coherent matrix convolution
Creators: name: van Straten, Willem
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A new phase-coherent technique for the calibration of polarimetric data is presented. Similar to the one-dimensional form of convolution, data are multiplied by the response function in the frequency domain. Therefore, the system response can be corrected with arbitrarily high spectral resolution, effectively treating the problem of bandwidth depolarization. As well, the original temporal resolution of the data is retained. The method is therefore particularly useful in the study of radio pulsars, in which high time resolution and polarization purity are essential requirements of high-precision timing. As a demonstration of the technique, it is applied to full-polarization baseband recordings of the nearby millisecond pulsar, PSR J0437-4715.

Fostering friendships amongst a Group of first-year University students: The use of online learning software
Creators: name: Farquharson, Karen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Research into student dropout rates has attempted to identify factors that influence a student's chances of dropping out. Student engagement has emerged as an important aspect of academic success. It would seem that the development of friendship networks, based on socializing, could also be important, however, there has been little research in this area. This study looks at whether students who participated in online tutorial discussions, in addition to face-to-face tutorial meetings, made more friends through the class than students who did not. Using a quasi-experimental research design, students in Introductory Sociology were divided into two experimental groups with additional online tutorial activities and a control group without. I found that students in both experimental groups were more likely to make friends through their tutorial than control group students, who were more likely to make friends through the lecture. I also found that older students who were in the experimental groups reported making greater numbers of friends than those who were not.

description: Many animals use thermally buffered microhabitats, e.g. patches of shade within trees, to avoid temperature extremes. These ‘thermal refugia’ may mediate the impact of climate change on animals. Predicting how species and communities will respond to rising temperatures therefore requires an understanding of the availability of these refugia and how animals use them. We investigated patterns of tree use by birds in the southern Kalahari across different times of day and days of varying maximum air temperature. On ‘hot’ days (>35 °C) birds showed increased preference for trees that provided the greatest density of shade (Boscia albitrunca), and this effect was particularly pronounced at the hottest times of day. Comparisons of focal bird species with differing foraging niches revealed interspecific differences in tree use. Two arboreally foraging species showed a similar preference for B. albitrunca on both ‘cool’ and ‘hot’ days. In contrast, two ground-foraging species increased their use of B. albitrunca trees on hot days, with one species (Scaly-feathered Finch Sporopipes squamifrons) changing its behaviour from avoiding to preferring this tree. We discuss the role of B. albitrunca trees as thermal refugia and the implications of temperature-driven changes in tree use in the context of rising temperatures due to climate change.
On test case distributions of adaptive random testing

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Adaptive Random Testing (ART) has recently been proposed as an approach to enhancing the fault-detection effectiveness of Random Testing (RT). The basic principle of ART is to enforce randomly selected test cases as evenly spread over the input domain as possible. Many ART methods have been proposed to evenly spread test cases in different ways, but no comparison has been made among these methods in terms of their test case distributions. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive investigation on test case distributions of various ART methods. Our work shows many interesting aspects related to ART’s performance and its test case distribution. Furthermore, it points out a new research direction on enhancing ART.
Version management in the business process change context

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The current business endures a fast changing environment, which drives organisations to continuously adapt their business processes to new conditions. In this background, the workflow version control plays an important role for the change management of business processes. To better handle the versions of evolving workflow process definitions, a new versioning method is introduced in this paper. To capture the dynamics of the workflow evolvement, we propose a novel version preserving directed graph model to represent the run time evolvement of a workflow process, and devise a series of modification operations to characterise workflow updating on the fly. The extraction of workflow versions from a version preserving graph is also discussed with two different extraction strategies. Particularly, our method allows the execution of multiple workflow instances of different versions within a single graph, and supports the evolvements initiated by temporary changes.

description: African Black Oystercatchers Haematopus moquini produce a modal clutch size of two eggs and only rarely lay three eggs. A review of over 4 000 nest records from across their breeding range (dating back to the early 1960s) revealed that three-egg clutches have become more frequent, rising from 2% of recorded clutches before 1975 to >5% since 2000. Three-egg clutches are found predominantly in the south-western Cape and are clustered at specific sites in the region. They are produced earlier in the season compared to smaller clutch sizes and rarely occur after January. As this increase in three-egg clutch frequency is site specific, it might result from either a phenotypically plastic response to local resource availability, or a localised change in breeding system potentially resulting in more than one female laying in the same nest. While increased food availability might be the cause of changes in three-egg clutch frequencies, this is unlikely linked to the spread of the invasive mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis. Further research is needed to identify the cause of this phenomenon and evaluate how this change may affect the breeding success of this species.

description: High temperatures can pose significant thermoregulation challenges for endotherms, and determining how individual species respond to high temperatures will be important for predicting the impact of global warming on wild populations. Animals can adjust their behaviour or physiology to cope with higher temperatures, but the physical costs of these changes are not well known. We assessed the effect of temperature on foraging behaviour, thermoregulatory behaviour and body condition in a wild, habituated population of Western Australian Magpies Cracticus tibicen dorsalis. Focal observation techniques were used to record individual behaviours, and body mass change was measured across a wide range of air temperatures. We found that temperature had a significant effect on behaviour, with temperatures exceeding 27 °C resulting in a significant decline in foraging effort. Individuals increased heat dissipation behaviours as temperatures rose, leading to a trade-off between foraging and heat dissipation. Individuals lost body condition over the five-month summer period, but there was no significant difference in the daily change in body mass on cool days versus hot days. Our research reveals significant changes in daily behaviour in accordance with temperature, but did not detect a measurable cost of this change. We therefore conclude that rising temperatures are likely to impact the behaviour of individuals in wild populations, but the potential flow-on effects of these behavioural changes are unclear.

description: Two new triterpenoid saponins (1 and 2) were isolated from the stems of Ilex cornuta, along with two known triterpenoids (3 and 4). The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined as ursane-12,19-diene-28-oic acid 3β-O-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-methyl ester (1), 3α,23α-dihydroxy-olean-9(11),12-diene-28-oic acid 28-O-β-d-glucopyranosyl ester (2), on the basis of hydrolysis and spectral evidence, including 1D and 2D NMR and high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) analyses. Protective effects of compounds 1–4 were tested against H2O2-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury, and the data showed that all these compounds had no cell-protective effect.
An architecture for automated network control of QoS over consumer broadband links

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper proposes a novel architecture for meeting Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of real-time traffic across consumer broadband links. In our approach the responsibility of QoS signalling is moved away from the application to the network. Network servers automatically identify traffic that might benefit from QoS and then trigger the provisioning of QoS by signalling network elements such as access routers. This approach removes the need for the application to signal to the network its explicit QoS requirements, making applications easier to develop and more portable. It also enables QoS provision for legacy applications for which there is limited opportunity to include explicit end-host signalling protocols. The paper develops the architecture required to realize the approach and discusses the underlying techniques.

Probabilistic adaptive random testing

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Adaptive Random Testing (ART) methods are Software Testing methods which are based on Random Testing, but which use additional mechanisms to ensure more even and widespread distributions of test cases over an input domain. Restricted Random Testing (RRT) is a version of ART which uses exclusion regions and restricts test case generation to outside of these regions. RRT has been found to perform very well, but its use of strict exclusion regions (from within which test cases cannot be generated) has prompted an investigation into the possibility of modifying the RRT method such that all portions of the Input Domain remain available for test case generation throughout the duration of the algorithm. In this paper, we present a probabilistic approach, Probabilistic ART (PART), and explain two different implementations. Preliminary empirical data supporting the methods is also examined. Abstract not available.

description: A polycross is the pollination by natural hybridization of a group of genotypes, generally selected, grown in isolation from other compatible genotypes in such a way to promote random open pollination. A particular practical application of the polycross method occurs in the production of a synthetic variety resulting from cross-pollinated plants. Laying out these experiments in appropriate designs, known as polycross designs, would not only save experimental resources but also gather more information from the experiment. Different situations may arise in polycross nurseries where accordingly different polycross designs may be used. For situations in which some genotypes interfere in the growth or production of other genotypes, but have to be grown together, neighbour-restricted design is a better option. Furthermore, when the topography of the nursery is such that a known wind system in a certain direction may prevail, then designs balanced for neighbour effects of genotypes only in the direction of wind are appropriate which may help in saving experimental resources to a great extent. Also, when genotypes are planted in a small area without leaving much space between rows, designs balanced for neighbour effects from all possible eight directions are useful to have equal chance of pollinating and being pollinated by every other genotype. Here, polycross designs have been obtained to match above-mentioned three situations. SAS Macros have also been developed to generate these proposed designs.

On the development of a multiple-compensation mechanism for business transactions
Creators: name: Yang, Zaihan
name: Liu, Chengfei
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Compensation is a widely used concept for maintaining atomicity in both the advanced transaction models and transactional workflow systems. Some Web service protocols also adopt the compensation mechanism for failure recovery when providing transaction management. However, the compensation mechanisms used in these models or protocols are too fixed and cannot satisfy the various requirements of different applications. In this paper, a multiple-compensation mechanism is proposed and defined explicitly in a business process model. An algorithm on how to implement this multiple-compensation mechanism for backward recovery is designed and its computation complexity is analysed.
title: Ab Initio Theory and Machine Learning for Hypernuclei
Creators: name: Knöll, Marco
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2024

description: Systems with strangeness, such as hypernuclei, offer a unique window into the dynamics of the strong force beyond traditional nucleonic systems.
Building on recent developments of the hypernuclear no-core shell model with realistic baryonic interactions from chiral effective field theory, this work presents advancements on the three major frontiers of ab initio hypernuclear structure theory: the refinement of the hyperon-nucleon interaction, precision calculations with quantified uncertainties, and the push to medium-mass hypernuclei.

Firstly, we present a novel extrapolation tool supplementing the no-core shell model that is based on artificial neural networks.
Due to their pattern recognition abilities, they hold great promise in enhancing precision and uncertainty estimation in (hyper)nuclear many-body calculations, giving access to extrapolation procedures and meaningful many-body uncertainties for observables beyond ground-state energies.
Moreover, they demonstrate the universality of observable-specific convergence patterns through applications across nucleonic and hyperonic systems.

Secondly, we address the chiral hyperon-nucleon interaction, which is poorly constrained due to the scarce experimental scattering data available.
Based on precise many-body calculations we demonstrate the potential of ground-state and spectroscopic data for p-shell hypernuclei as additional constraints for the hyperon-nucleon interaction. 
We present an optimized interaction at leading order, which is then applied across a range of p-shell hypernuclei.
Through only minor adjustments of the low-energy constants we alleviate the previous overbinding of the hyperon and significantly improve the agreement with experimental data in light hypernuclei.

Lastly, we present pioneering work on ab initio calculations of medium-mass hypernuclei.
In a first step, we extend the concept of natural orbitals as an optimized single-particle basis to hypernuclei.
We find that the associated wavefunctions yield great insight into the structure of hypernuclei, allowing us to identify Lambda-Helium-5 as a candidate for a hyperon halo.
From there we develop a hyperon-attached in-medium no-core shell model framework and present the first ever ab initio calculation of Lambda-Calcium-41.

By addressing these challenges, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of the strong force in hypernuclear systems and lays the groundwork for future investigations.

description: The island of Elba (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) Natura 2000 habitat map (1:25,000) and the CORINE Biotopes habitat map (1:25,000) were derived from the phytosociological map of Elba integrated with recent studies and field knowledge of the vegetation units. Conventional geographical information system queries were used to manage and select the spatial information. For each map polygon, the following attributes were assigned: (i) habitat typology and (ii) percentage cover of each habitat type. Where multiple habitat types were associated with the same polygon, the percentage cover of each habitat type was estimated. A total of 27 Natura 2000 habitat types and 58 CORINE Biotopes habitat types were identified, these being distributed in single and/or multiple typological units. Distribution and covers of the different habitat types are discussed. The usefulness of this kind of map for monitoring and managing conservation actions is discussed.

impact by readers of novels. We operationalize impact measurement through a
rule-based reading impact model and apply it to 634,614 reader reviews mined from
seven review platforms. We compute co-occurrence of impact-related terms and
their keyness for genres represented in the corpus. The corpus consists of the full text
of 18,885 books from which we derived topic models. The topics we find correlate
strongly with genre, and we get strong indicators for what key impact terms are
connected to which genre. These key impact terms gives us a first evidence-based
insight into genre-related readers’ motivations.
Defining and evaluating greynets (sparse darknets)

Year: 2024

description: Darknets are increasingly being proposed as a means by which network administrators can monitor for anomalous, externally sourced traffic. Current darknet designs require large, contiguous blocks of unused IP addresses - not always feasible for enterprise network operators. In this paper we introduce, define and evaluate the concept of a Greynet - a region of IP address space that is sparsely populated with 'darknet' addresses interspersed with active (or 'lit') IP addresses. We use raw traffic traces collected within a university network to evaluate how sparseness affects a greynet's effectiveness and hence show that enterprise operators can achieve useful levels of network scan detection, with only small numbers of 'dark' IP addresses making up their greynets.

description: A combined ligand- and target-based approach was used to analyse the interaction models of Cryptosporidium parvum inosine 5’-monophosphate dehydrogenase (CpIMPDH) with selective inhibitors. First, a ligand-based pharmacophore model was generated from 20 NAD+ competitive CpIMPDH inhibitors with the HipHop module. The characteristic of the NAD+ binding site of CpIMPDH was then described, and the binding modes of the representative inhibitors were studied by molecular docking. The combination of the pharmacophore model and the docking results allowed us to evaluate the pharmacophore features and structural information of the NAD+ binding site of CpIMPDH. This research supports the proposal of an interaction model inside the NAD+ binding site of CpIMPDH, consisting of four key interaction points: two hydrophobic-aromatic groups, a hydrophobic-aliphatic group and a hydrogen bond donor. This study also provides guidance for the design of more potent CpIMPDH inhibitors for the treatment of Cryptosporidium infections.

description: The adsorption of five proteins with very different molecular characteristics, i.e. -chymotrypsin, human serum albumin, human immunoglobulin, lysozyme, and myoglobin, has been characterized using quantitative fluorescence measurements and atomic force microscopy. It has been found that the 'combinatorial' nature of the micro/nano-channels surface allows for the increased adsorption of molecularly different proteins, comparing with the adsorption on flat surfaces. This amplification increases for proteins with lower molecular surface that can capitalize better on the newly created surface and nano-environments. Importantly, the adsorption on micro/nano-fabricated structures appears to be less dependent on the local molecular descriptors, i.e. hydrophobicity and charges, due to the combinatorialization of the nano-areas presented to the proteins. The amplification of adsorption is important, ranging from 3- to 10-fold, with a higher amplification for smaller, globular proteins.

description: A new flavonoid, 2-(3,5-dihydroxy-4-methoxy-phenyl)-3,5-dihydroxy-8,8-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-8H-pyrano[3,2]chromen-4-one, together with previously reported epicatechin was isolated from the ethyl acetate soluble fraction of the methanol extract of the stem bark of Commiphora pedunculata. The structures of these compounds were elucidated based on extensive analysis of their spectral data, including 1 and 2D NMR. The compounds were active against 9 out of 12 tested microorganisms including a resistant strain; vancomycin-resistant entrococci (VRE), Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans. The zones of inhibition ranged between 22 and 34 mm against the microorganisms. The minimum inhibitory concentration was as low as 6.25 μg/mL against Shigella dysentriae, Bacillus cereus and S. aureus while the minimum bactericidal concentration was as low as 50 μg/mL against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, VRE and C. albicans. This is the first report of the isolation of the compound.

description: The Internet's next big success will occur when society thinks of it as a service rather than a technology. To make that success happen, we are facing a grand engineering challenge involving researchers, operators, and vendors. We need to focus on the ultimate consumer experience as we instrument, measure, model, predict, reengineer, and manage a ubiquitous digital communications infrastructure. It will be complex, dynamic, and more than our current operational theories and practice can handle.

Using the incremental approach to generate test sets: A case study

description: With the increasing complexity of software systems, the set of testing requirements can become very large. If the set of testing requirements can be naturally decomposed into smaller subsets, one may construct a test set separately to satisfy each subset of testing requirements, and then combine the test sets to form the complete test set. Such an approach is referred to as the union approach. On the other hand, the incremental approach attempts to incrementally expand a test set to satisfy the subsets of testing requirements, one at a time. This paper investigates empirically the effect of the incremental approach as compared to the union approach. Our case study indicates that the incremental approach can result in a significantly smaller test set, particularly when supplemented with the greedy heuristics.

description: "Les communications de ce colloque explorent, les rapports entre la pensée du dehors et certains néoplatonismes antiques et médiévaux, selon la piste indiquée par Michel Foucault : « On peut bien supposer qu’elle est née de cette pensée mystique qui, depuis les textes du Pseudo-Denys, a rôdé aux confins du christianisme ; peut-être s’est-elle maintenue, pendant un millénaire ou presque, sous les formes d’une théologie négative (Foucault, « La pensée du dehors »). Il ne s’agit pas de chercher dans Plotin ou Maître Eckhart des « sources » de cette « forme de pensée dont la culture occidentale a esquissé dans ses marges la possibilité encore incertaine », mais plutôt de nous mettre à l’écoute des possibilités de son émergence, qui se sont ouvertes, à différentes époques, à partir de trois points de vue : l’émergence grammaticale du neutre et de l’impersonnel dans la langue grecque et celle de la négation dans la pensée de Plotin, d’une part, le style du peintre Manet et l’érotisme, selon Georges Bataille, d’autre part, et, enfin, ce qui advient dans le langage en vertu d’un mode eckhartien de prière qui ne demande rien à personne pour personne."

description: Essential oils from 20 Egyptian plants were obtained by using hydrodistillation. The chemical composition of the isolated oils was identified by gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer. Fumigant and contact toxicities of the essential oils were evaluated against the adults of Tribolium castaneum. In fumigation assays, the oil of Origanum vulgare (LC50 = 9.97 mg/L air) displayed the highest toxicity towards the adults of T. castaneum. In contact assays, the oils of Artemisia monosperma (LC50 = 0.07 mg/cm2) and O. vulgare (LC50 = 0.07 mg/cm2) were the most potent toxicants against the adults of T. castaneum. Biochemical studies showed that the tested oils caused pronounced inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) isolated from the larvae of T. castaneum. The oil Cupressus macrocarpa (IC50 = 12.3 mg/L) was the most potent inhibitor of AChE, while the oil of Calistemon viminals (IC50 = 4.4 mg/L) was the most potent inhibitor of ATPases.

description: Este póster presenta el proyecto de investigación Words That Mattered. The Narratives of Belonging in the Late Medieval Hispanic City, que se desarrolla en el marco del programa UNA4Career en el Departamento de Historia de América y Medieval y Ciencias Historiográficas de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Se trata de un proyecto en Humanidades Digitales, tanto por los métodos de análisis que utiliza como por los recursos que elabora.

Words That Mattered o Palabras que Importaban es un proyecto de historia social y cultural que indaga sobre la relevancia del lenguaje en los procesos de negociación de la pertenencia en las ciudades bajomedievales del ámbito hispánico. El póster plantea el análisis de datos textuales como metodología y presenta el primer corpus exploratorio con el que se trabajará: les Informacions de la Ciutadania, documentación generada en torno a la adquisición de la ciudadanía en la Barcelona de la primera mitad del siglo XV. Se reflexiona sobre el proceso de estructuración del corpus: transcripción de la fuente material y creación de un texto etiquetado en formato XML, listo para ser procesado por programas de análisis lingüístico como TXM. Finalmente, el póster plantea un primer ensayo de  las posibilidades que ofrecen estas metodologías, proponiendo un análisis frecuencial y progresivo de los términos que significaban y cualificaban la residencia del buen ciudadano en la Barcelona de las primeras décadas del siglo XV.
