description: This study examines the use of physical and virtual exhibits in art libraries. Through ten case studies, the researcher asks if art libraries are using their physical and virtual space for exhibition, and do certain types of art libraries mount exhibits consistently and effectively. This study was devised to uncover common patterns and inconsistencies that exist across the board when looking at the art library as exhibition space. Further, in uncovering any patterns and inconsistencies, the researcher will suggest a framework that can be used to assess current use of exhibitions in art libraries and improve future programs. The primary purpose of this research is to address whether exhibitions used in art libraries are promoting user education, highlighting and increasing the use of library materials, improving public relations, and increasing library and staff visibility. The study suggests that art libraries within institutions primarily devoted to the study of art and art education, such as museums and art schools, are more likely to mount exhibits and develop exhibition programs.

description: We study the Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) in a wireless setting in which K Transmitters (TXs) aim at jointly serving K users. The performance is studied when the TXs are faced with a distributed Channel State Information (CSI) configuration in which each TX has access to its own multi-user imperfect channel estimate based on which it designs its transmit coefficients. The channel estimates are not only imperfectly acquired but they are also imperfectly shared between the TXs. Our first contribution consists of computing a genie-aided upper bound for the DoF of that setting. Our main contribution is then to develop a new robust transmission scheme that leverages the different qualities of CSI available at the TXs to improve the achieved DoF. We show the surprising result that there is a CSI regime, coined the Weak-CSIT regime, in which the genie-aided upper bound is achieved by the proposed transmission scheme. Interestingly, the optimal DoF in the Weak-CSIT regime only depends on the CSI quality at the best informed TX and not on the CSI quality at all other TXs.

description: We experimentally study a driven-dissipative Josephson junction array, realized with a weakly interacting Bose Einstein condensate residing in a one-dimensional optical lattice. Engineered losses on one site act as a local dissipative process, while tunneling from the neighboring sites constitutes the driving force. We characterize the emerging steady-states of this atomtronic device. With increasing dissipation strength $γ$ the system crosses from a superfluid state, characterized by a coherent Josephson current into the lossy site to a resistive state, characterized by an incoherent hopping transport. For intermediate values of $γ$, the system exhibits bistability, where a superfluid and a resistive branch coexist. We also study the relaxation dynamics towards the steady-state, where we find a critical slowing down, indicating the presence of a non-equilibrium phase transition.

description: Beneficial effects of Bifidobacterium spp. on gut microbiota development and infant health have been reported earlier. Therefore, supplementation of infant formulas with probiotic bifidobacteria, as well as prebiotics stimulating bifidobacterial growth, has been proposed. Here, we studied the faecal microbiome of infants supplemented with specialized nutrition, of which some received a standard amino acid-based formula (AAF) and others an AAF with a specific mixture of prebiotics and a probiotic (synbiotics) using metaproteomics and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Faecal samples were taken at baseline, as well as after 6 and 12 months fed with the specialized formula. The aim was to compare microbial differences between infants treated with the standard AAF and those who received the additional synbiotics. Our findings show that infants who received AAF with synbiotics have significantly higher levels of Bifidobacteriaceae DNA as well as significantly increased levels of Coriobacteriaceae proteins, over time. Moreover, at visit 12 months higher levels of some bifidobacterial carbohydrate-active enzymes, known to metabolize oligosaccharides, were observed in the synbiotic group compared to the non-synbiotic group. The results indicate that the synbiotics provided in our study are trackable in faecal samples on the DNA and protein level during the intervention period.

description: We analyze the effect of phase fluctuations in an optical communication scheme based on collective detection of sequences of binary coherent state symbols using linear optics and photon counting. When the phase noise is absent, the scheme offers qualitatively improved nonlinear scaling of the spectral efficiency with the mean photon number in the low-power regime compared to individual detection. We show that this feature, providing a demonstration of superaddivitity of accessible information in classical communication over quantum channels, is preserved if random phases imprinted on transmitted symbols fluctuate around a reference fixed over the sequence length.

Bibliotherapy

description: Over two million soldiers deployed in 2011. Each had a family affected by the deployment, but with only 2% of American families including a military member, society is becoming indifferent to service persons and their loved ones at home. For spouses and significant others, military support includes online forums, social networks and organizations. These supports are limited and recommended reading lists are largely limited to nonfiction - how-to guides and memoirs of soldiers, not their spouses. Dealing with deployment, long separations, frequent relocation and the uncertainty of a spouse's safety poses a discrete set of emotional issues faced by these community members. Thus, this group is well suited to being provided informal bibliotherapy. Bibliotherapy focuses on the power of books, both fiction and nonfiction, to offer catharsis and insight to readers. This bibliography will help public libraries and military spouses to identify literature for relief of emotional stress surrounding military life.

 Distribution in India: Tamil Nadu (Valparai, at an altitude of approximately 1000 m at Anamalai Hills [Elephant Hills] in a hill stream near waterfalls and also from the channel drawn from the waterfalls).
 Notes: This species is known from the single original collection. The long pedicellate or stalked carposporophytes show it is unique among the species of Batrachospermum known from India. The holotype specimen is not traceable in the Herbarium at the Centre for Advanced Study in Botany, University of Madras, Chennai, India (Ganesan, pers. obser.). The section to which the above species belongs is unclear. Sankaran (loc. cit.) included it in the section Virescentia based on the shape of trichogyne (sub-sessile and club-shaped). However, Kumano (2002, p. 155) indicated that the longer carpogonial branches (up to 5–10 discoid cells) in B. desikacharyi are unlike other members of Virescentia, but similar to the section Batrachospermum. The taxonomic status of this species and its taxonomic position at a sectional level remains to be defined.

description: Text mining can help pharmacogenomics researchers reduce information overload hindering pharmacogenomics-based drug discovery (PGx-DD) because it can aid in the generation of rich novel information from large collections of diverse scientific literature and research data. The present study aims to understand text mining adoption and innovation for PGx-DD in the pharmaceutical industry. The study re-frames text mining as an approach to automate the generation of novel information, reviews successful exemplary text mining applications, and examines a case study of a leading pharmaceutical company within the novelty generation framework. The case study demonstrates that the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model (Venkatesh, Morris, Davis, & Davis, 2003) does not account for conceptual barriers to adoption and innovation. By Everett Rogers' Diffusion of innovation theory (1983), the case study subject is more of an early adopter rather than an innovator. In order to fulfill the promise of PGx-DD, drug companies may need to re-conceptualize text mining by focusing on its capacity to generate novel high-quality information and subsequently return to a higher-risk path of innovation.

description: The nature of the superconducting transition in highly underdoped thick films of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_4$ ($x=0.07$ and 0.08) has been investigated using the in-plane transport measurements. The contribution of superconducting fluctuations to the conductivity in zero magnetic field, or paraconductivity, was determined from the magnetoresistance measured in fields applied perpendicular to the CuO$_2$ planes. Both the temperature dependence of the paraconductivity above the transition and the nonlinear current-voltage ($I-V$) characteristics measured across it, exhibit the main signatures of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition. The quantitative comparison of the superfluid stiffness, extracted from the $I-V$ data, with the renormalization-group results for the BKT theory, reveals a large value of the vortex-core energy. This finding is confirmed by the analysis of the paraconductivity obtained using different methods. The results strongly suggest that the characteristic energy scale controlling the BKT behavior in this layered system corresponds to the superfluid stiffness of a few layers.

description: This study details the latent content analysis of seven young adult novels describing either dystopian or post-apocalyptic environments that centered on one strong female character. The focus of the analysis centered on each of the main characters as the strength of each character to determine the sources of their strength, to determine whether these sources were character traits or outside environmental sources and to define what roles that the other characters in the book play in the development of their strength. Ten different sources were isolated and it was determined that there are a mixture of both character traits and outside influences, as well as the influence of abstract ideals. It was determined that the influence of the relationships that each of the heroines experience served either as a motivation of their actions or support to endure their difficulties.

description: An important topic of interest in imaging is the construction of protocols that are not diffraction limited. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, including classical superresolution techniques or quantum entanglement-based protocols. Here, we consider superresolving imaging in the far field using higher-order intensity correlations. We show that third and fourth order correlations can improve upon the first and second order correlations that are traditionally used in classical optics and Hanbury Brown and Twiss type experiments. The improvement is achieved entirely by post-processing of the data. As a demonstrator, we simulate the far field intensity distribution of a circular aperture that emits thermal light and use maximum likelihood estimation to determine the radius of the aperture. We compare the achieved precision to the Cramér-Rao lower bound and find that the variance of measurements for the third and fourth order correlation functions are indeed closer to the Cramér-Rao bound than that of the second order correlation function. The method presented here is general, and can be used for all kinds of incoherent emitters, geometries, and types of noise.

description: In this note we determine, for an arbitrary but a fixed degree $d$, an algorithm to list the possible values $m$ for which $M_g^{Pl}(\mathbb{Z}/m)$ is non-empty where $\mathbb{Z}/m$ denotes the cyclic group of order $m$. In particular, we prove that $m$ should divide one of the integers: $d-1$, $d$, $d^2-3d+3$, $(d-1)^2$, $d(d-2)$ or $d(d-1)$. Secondly, consider a curve $δ\in M_g^{Pl}$ with $g=(d-1)(d-2)/2$ such that $Aut(δ)$ has an element of "very large" order, in the sense that this element is of order $d^2-3d+3$, $(d-1)^2$, $d(d-2)$ or $d(d-1)$. Then we investigate the groups $G$ for which $δ\in\widetilde{M_g^{Pl}(G)}$ and also we determine the locus $\widetilde{M_g^{Pl}(G)}$ in these situations. Moreover, we work with the same question when $Aut(δ)$ has an element of "large" order $\ell d$, $\ell (d-1)$ or $\ell(d-2)$ with $\ell\geq 2$ an integer.

description: Spatial gradients in refractive index have been used extensively in acoustic metamaterial applications to control wave propagation through phase delay. This study reports the design and experimental realization of an acoustic gradient index lens using a sonic crystal lattice that is impedance matched to water over a broad bandwidth. In contrast to previous designs, the underlying lattice features refractive indices that are lower than the water background, which facilitates propagation control based on a phase advance as opposed to a delay. The index gradient is achieved by varying the filling fraction of hollow, air-filled aluminum tubes that individually exhibit a higher sound speed than water and matched impedance. Acoustic focusing is observed over a broad bandwidth of frequencies in the homogenization limit of the lattice, with intensity magnifications in excess of 7 dB. An anisotropic lattice design facilitates a flat-faceted geometry with low backscattering at 18 dB below the incident sound pressure level. Three dimensional Rayleigh-Sommerfeld integration that accounts for the anisotropic refraction is used to accurately predict the experimentally measured focal patterns.

description: In 1998, the American Association for School Librarians and the Association for  Educational Communications and Technology released a second edition of Information  Power, the standard for school library media specialists with the subtitle of Building  Partnerships for Learning. Information Power delineates nine information literacy  standards that media specialists should strive to teach through their media program. In  the standards, another aspect of the school media program encouraged is that of providing  reading materials to foster student's appreciation of reading and to expand their reading  horizons. Knowing that the school principal is the chief source of support who can be a  key advocate for the school media program, this content analysis was designed to  investigate whether principals are exposed to these two or any other aspects of the school  media program through their own professional literature.  Three professional journals for school administrators--Educational Leadership,  Principal, and The School Administrator, were selected and five years of these journals  were examined. These issues were all published subsequent to the release of the 1998  Information Power standards. A conclusion to this study is that the school media  program is seriously underreported in the administrator's literature. Just four articles  connected the school media program to reading encouragement, and only two articles  made reference to the 1998 Information Power. Suggestions for greater visibility in  professional journals aimed at administrators include enlisting more school media  specialists and other educators to submit in depth articles to such journals relating to the  school media program.

description: A matrix-valued measure $Θ$ reduces to measures of smaller size if there exists a constant invertible matrix $M$ such that $MΘM^*$ is block diagonal. Equivalently, the real vector space ${\mathscr A}$ of all matrices $T$ such that $TΘ(X)=Θ(X) T^*$ for any Borel set $X$ is non-trivial. If the subspace $A_h$ of self-adjoints elements in the commutant algebra $A$ of $Θ$ is non-trivial, then $Θ$ is reducible via a unitary matrix. In this paper we prove that ${\mathscr A}$ is $*$-invariant if and only if $A_h={\mathscr A}$, i.e., every reduction of $Θ$ can be performed via a unitary matrix. The motivation for this paper comes from families of matrix-valued polynomials related to the group ${\rm SU}(2)\times {\rm SU}(2)$ and its quantum analogue. In both cases the commutant algebra $A=A_h\oplus iA_h$ is of dimension two and the matrix-valued measures reduce unitarily into a $2\times 2$ block diagonal matrix. Here we show that there is no further non-unitary reduction.

description: Libraries regularly collect statistics in order to understand and communicate the value of products and services to stakeholders. These statistics, also known as metrics, can incur quantitative or qualitative data and can fall into one of five categories: input measures, process measures, output measures, outcome measures, or impact measures. Outputs, such as the number of books circulated or attendees to a webinar, are the most common, but outcomes, such as how a class helped streamline a patron's workflow, are the most desired. The monthly statistics collected in a government special library were gathered and classified according to their conformity to one of these types of performance measures. The library collected the most output metrics, followed by inputs, then outcomes. While metric diversity is beneficial, suggestions for how to improve the evaluation procedures and gain more outcomes and impacts are discussed.

description: Grading can shape students' learning and encourage use of effective problem solving practices. Teaching assistants (TAs) are often responsible for grading student solutions and providing feedback, thus, their perceptions of grading may impact grading practices in the physics classroom. Understanding TAs' perceptions of grading is instrumental for curriculum developers as well as professional development leaders interested in improving grading practices. In order to identify TAs' perceptions of grading, we used a data collection tool designed to elicit TAs' considerations when making grading decisions as well as elicit possible conflicts between their stated goals and actual grading practices. The tool was designed to explicate TAs' attitudes towards research-based grading practices that promote effective problem solving approaches. TAs were first asked to state their goals for grading in general. Then, TAs graded student solutions in a simulated setting while explicating and discussing their underlying considerations. The data collection tool was administered at the beginning of TAs' first postgraduate teaching appointment and again after one semester of teaching experience. We found that almost all of the TAs stated that the purpose of grading was formative, i.e., grading should encourage students to learn from their mistakes as well as inform the instructor of common student difficulties. However, when making grading decisions in a simulated setting, the majority of TAs' grading considerations focused on correctness and they did not assign grades in a way that encourages use of effective problem solving approaches. TAs' perceptions of grading did not change significantly during one semester of teaching experience.

description: By constructing suitable Borcherds forms on Shimura curves and using Schofer's formula for norms of values of Borcherds forms at CM-points, we determine all the equations of hyperelliptic Shimura curves $X_0^D(N)$. As a byproduct, we also address the problem of whether a modular form on Shimura curves $X_0^D(N)/W_{D,N}$ with a divisor supported on CM-divisors can be realized as a Borcherds form, where $X_0^D(N)/W_{D,N}$ denotes the quotient of $X_0^D(N)$ by all the Atkin-Lehner involutions. The construction of Borcherds forms is done by solving certain integer programming problems.

description: Among many available frameworks and international standards for technical  support service, Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) is one of the earliest and most popular frameworks, being widely followed and implemented all over the world in both private and public sectors. Many supporting tools are designed and developed based on the processes recommended by ITIL. However if the processes are not followed by the actual business practice then such supporting tools might not fulfill the business demand as desired. This paper uses Remedy® Action Request System as an example tool to identify the possible gaps between the ITIL Incident Management process and actual business processes, and then uses the data extracted from Remedy® to evaluate an ITIL based sample SLA to demonstrate potential deficiencies caused by business deviation from ITIL processes. Countermeasures are also given based on business scenarios.

description: In this paper we present a regression based model for day-ahead electricity spot prices. We estimate the considered linear regression model by the lasso estimation method. The lasso approach allows for many possible parameters in the model, but also shrinks and sparsifies the parameters automatically to avoid overfitting. Thus, it is able to capture the autoregressive intraday dependency structure of the electricity price well. We discuss in detail the estimation results which provide insights to the intraday behavior of electricity prices. We perform an out-of-sample forecasting study for several European electricity markets. The results illustrate well that the efficient lasso based estimation technique can exhibit advantages from two popular model approaches.

description: We have conducted a sensitive search down to the hydrogen burning limit for unextincted stars over $\sim$200 square degrees around Lambda Orionis and 20 square degrees around Sigma Orionis using the methodology of Koenig & Leisawitz (2014). From WISE and 2MASS data we identify 544 and 418 candidate YSOs in the vicinity of Lambda and Sigma respectively. Based on our followup spectroscopy for some candidates and the existing literature for others, we found that $\sim$80% of the K14-selected candidates are probable or likely members of the Orion star forming region. The yield from the photometric selection criteria shows that WISE sources with $K_S -w3 > 1.5$ mag and $K_S $ between 10--12 mag are most likely to show spectroscopic signs of youth, while WISE sources with $K_S -w3 > 4$ mag and $K_S > 12$ were often AGNs when followed up spectroscopically. The population of candidate YSOs traces known areas of active star formation, with a few new `hot spots' of activity near Lynds 1588 and 1589 and a more dispersed population of YSOs in the northern half of the HII region bubble around $σ$ and $ε$ Ori. A minimal spanning tree analysis of the two regions to identify stellar groupings finds that roughly two-thirds of the YSO candidates in each region belong to groups of 5 or more members. The population of stars selected by WISE outside the MST groupings also contains spectroscopically verified YSOs, with a local stellar density as low as 0.5 stars per square degree.

description: Patterns of surgical care, outcomes, and quality of care can be assessed using hospital administrative databases but this requires accurate and complete data. The aim of this study was to explore whether the quality of hospital administrative data was sufficient to assess pituitary surgery practice in England. The study analysed Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) data from April 2013 to March 2018 on all adult patients undergoing pituitary surgery in England. A series of data quality indicators examined the attribution of cases to consultants, the coding of sellar and parasellar lesions, associated endocrine and visual disorders, and surgical procedures. Differences in data quality over time and between neurosurgical units were examined. A total of 5613 records describing pituitary procedures were identified. Overall, 97.3% had a diagnostic code for the tumour or lesion treated, with 29.7% (n = 1669) and 17.8% (n = 1000) describing endocrine and visual disorders, respectively. There was a significant reduction from the first to the fifth year in records that only contained a pituitary tumour code (63.7%–47.0%, p < .001). The use of procedure codes that attracted the highest tariff increased over time (66.4%–82.4%, p < .001). Patterns of coding varied widely between the 24 neurosurgical units. The quality of HES data on pituitary surgery has improved over time but there is wide variation in the quality of data between neurosurgical units. Research studies and quality improvement programmes using these data need to check it is of sufficient quality to not invalidate their results.

description: The processes of generation of phonons and electron excitations with quantum oriented particle in crystal are considered. Expressions are obtained for the probability of emission of phonons and plasmons with channeled particle. The theory of the processes of the crystal excitation with the channeled particle, accompanied by the simultaneous emission of a photon is developed. It is proved that all the specific features of the electron and phonon crystal excitation structure appear as components of radiation of the oriented fast charged particle. The photon emission of a quantum channeled particle, accompanied by a plasmon excitation in a crystal target is considered. It is taken into account that the plasmon energy in the crystal is of the same order with the depth of the potential well in which the channeled particle moves. A weak dispersion of the plasmons in the crystal is taken into account, which leads to the selection of the fixed plasmon energy. It is shown that fast charged particle in the rest frame emits photons with an energy equal to the energy difference between two quantized levels of transverse motion with the deduction of the net plasmon energy. The characteristics of photon-plasmon radiation are investigated.

description: We prove that for any associator, two specific families of coefficients of the associator can be expressed in terms of coefficients of lower depth. Combining these results to our notions of adjoint $p$-adic multiple zeta values and multiple harmonic values, we obtain a new point of view on the question of relating $p$-adic and finite multiple zeta values, and a few other application to the study of $p$-adic multiple zeta values via explicit formulas.

description: Primary glioblastoma develops de novo without clinical or histological evidence of a low-grade precursor lesion, whereas secondary glioblastoma develops from a low-grade glioma. The present report describes an extraordinary case of IDH-wildtype secondary glioblastoma arising in IDH-mutant diffuse astrocytoma. A 31-year-old female had a surgical history of IDH-mutant diffuse astrocytoma on the left frontal lobe six years before. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed new infiltrative lesions in the left frontal lobe adjacent to the previous lesion. The patient underwent tumourectomy, and the new infiltrative lesion was diagnosed as glioblastoma. Interestingly, the IDH-1 (p.Arg132His) mutation was found in diffuse astrocytoma but not in glioblastoma based on next generation sequencing. ATRX (p.Gln1670Ter) and TP53 (p.His193Arg) mutations were found in both lesions. Additionally, the PTEN (p.His296Pro) mutation was identified only in glioblastoma. A well-accepted hypothesis is that the IDH mutation initiates in glial progenitor cells and causes secondary glioblastoma harboring the IDH mutation to develop from low grade glioma with IDH mutation. However, this case showed that the other genetic mutations can be initiated before the IDH mutation in glioma oncogenesis. Contrary to the previous hypothesis, this is the first case of IDH-wildtype secondary glioblastoma arising in IDH-mutant diffuse astrocytoma.

Tolkien, J. R. R., 1892-1973

description: This study discusses the early publication history of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in the  United States. It begins by examining the composition and publication of the book and  its initial reception in American print media. Following an examination of the  ambiguities of contemporary copyright law, the paper describes nearly simultaneous  unauthorized and authorized mass-market publication of The Lord of the Rings, which  resulted in radically increased public awareness of the book.  Public discussion of The Lord of the Rings centered on the relationship between the  essence of the book, and its perceived audience. While the book met with some mild  controversy during the mid 1950s, discussion was confined to literary terms. Following  the publication of two competing paperback editions in 1965, however, the print media  generated a substantial body of literature reflecting a broader attempt to describe the  social impact of a popular book on a popular audience.
Carrier Injection and Scattering in Atomically Thin Chalcogenides

description: Atomically thin two-dimensional chalcogenides such as MoS2 monolayers are structurally ideal channel materials for the ultimate atomic electronics. However, a heavy thickness dependence of electrical performance is shown in these ultrathin materials, and the device performance normally degrades while exhibiting a low carrier mobility as compared with corresponding bulks, constituting a main hurdle for application in electronics. In this brief review, we summarize our recent work on electrode/channel contacts and carrier scattering mechanisms to address the origins of this adverse thickness dependence. Extrinsically, the Schottky barrier height increases at the electrode/channel contact area in thin channels owing to bandgap expansion caused by quantum confinement, which hinders carrier injection and degrades device performance. Intrinsically, thin channels tend to suffer from intensified Coulomb impurity scattering, resulting from the reduced interaction distance between interfacial impurities and channel carriers. Both factors are responsible for the adverse dependence of carrier mobility on channel thickness in two-dimensional semiconductors.
