description: This paper describes the connection between romance novels and the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast." Using the theories of Bruno Bettelheim, this paper investigates the meaning of the heroine and hero in "Beauty and the Beast" romance novels. The findings support previous research, which argues romances provide relief from the complexities of everyday life, and further shows how romances and fantasy help the reader in the same way Bettelheim argues fairy tales help children.
Science and the Dragon: Redistributing the Treasure of Knowledge

description: We start from an analogy: science can be seen as one of the dragons of Western mythology, described as sitting on their hoard of gold but not using it for any useful purpose. Similarly, scientists seem to be content with accumulating knowledge, doing little or nothing to use it outside their restricted domain of expertise. We argue that this attitude is one of the elements causing the ongoing decline of science as a way to produce innovative knowledge. We propose that the situation could be improved by encouraging scientific communication and the redistribution of the scientific treasure of knowledge in the form of “mind-sized” memes.

description: We show that the Hilbert scheme of two points on the Vinberg $K3$ surface has a 2:1 map onto a very symmetric EPW sextic $Y$ in $\mathbb{P}^5$. The fourfold $Y$ is singular along $60$ planes, $20$ of which form a complete family of incident planes. This solves a problem of Morin and O'Grady and establishes that $20$ is the maximal cardinality of such a family of planes. Next, we show that this Hilbert scheme is birationally isomorphic to the Kummer type IHS fourfold $X_0$ constructed in [DW]. We find that $X_0$ is also related to the Debarre-Varley abelian fourfold.

Online searching

description: This study investigates the information seeking and sensemaking processes undertaken  by groups engaged in collaborative exploratory searches. A second research question  was what, if any, role the familiarity of the group members with each other had on how  sensemaking occurred. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight  participants, and each participant was asked to describe two collaborative search  experiences, one with friends or family who they knew well, and one with an assigned  group for school or work. Participants' experiences matched up well with existing  information seeking models and current sensemaking models, but highlighted the  importance of extensive use of artifacts and in-person communication as behaviors that  facilitate sensemaking in a collaborative searching environment.
Crossover temperature of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain with an impurity

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study exactly the effect of an impurity in the interacting quantum spin chain at low temperature by solving the integrable spin-1/2 XXZ periodic chain with an impurity through the algebraic and thermal Bethe ansatz methods. In particular, we investigate how the crossover temperature for the impurity specific heat depends on the impurity parameter, i.e. the coupling of the impurity to other spins, and show that it is consistent with the analytic expression that is obtained by setting the impurity susceptibility to be proportional to the inverse of the crossover temperature. In the model, two types of crossover behavior appear: one from the high-temperature regime to the low-temperature Kondo regime and another from the N-site homogeneous chain to the (N-1)-site chain with a decoupled free impurity spin, with respect to the temperature and the impurity parameter, respectively.

description: Single-crystal XRD studies of Bis(4-hydroxypyridinium) hexacholorostannate(IV) reveals that the crystal belongs to a triclinic system with Pī space group. The X-ray crystallography structure has [C5H6ON]+ 0.5[SnCl6]2− asymmetric unit. The band gap value for the hybrid is 3.92 eV estimated using the Kubelka-Munk function. The Bond valence sum (BVS) of tin was calculated as 3.95 based on the Sn-Cl bond distances, which is close to its formal oxidation state of +4. Exploration of the intermolecular interactions and the crystal packing using Hirshfeld surface analysis, derived from single-crystal XRD data, reveals the close contacts associated with strong interactions.
The Value of Online Resources to North Carolina Public Library Patrons

Public libraries--Evaluation

description: As public libraries balance the increasing demand for online resources with budgetary constraints, information about the value of online resources to patrons will help library administrators prioritize their efforts. Many researchers have studied the value of public libraries more generally, but this study estimates the value of library-provided online resources through an evaluation of library patrons' willingness to pay. Results indicate limited relationships between respondent-specific variables and patron willingness to pay, but several library-specific variables were found to be significantly related to patron willingness to pay. A discussion of these results and recommendations for applying this research to public library administration are included in this paper.
The Synchronic Principle for a New Scientific Method
Creators: name: Silvestrini, Paolo
Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2022

description: Local realism has been superseded by recent theoretical and experimental developments in quantum physics, which show a synchronic connection between the parts. In contrast to the principle of local realism, which is the basis of classical reductionism, I have called the principle of non-locality, “synchronic principle”. In a synchronic paradigm, evolution is characterized by a certain intrinsic freedom of choice that we associate with awareness. Considerations based on the evolution of the universe towards the emergence of life lead us to think that this “awareness” also exists in the vacuum state. In the model, I proposed a definition of the agents of consciousness in terms of arrays of correlated qu-bit, from the simplest one, which consists of 6 qu-bits of the quantum vacuum (a superposition of 64 base states), up to the most complex organisms consisting of a very large number of correlated quantum bits. Some of the fundamental vacuum states of consciousness can be related to known elementary particles (leptons and quarks) and to fundamental interactions. The rest constitutes purely non-local elements of consciousness with no counterpart in terms of wave or particle within the local observation limit. In this model, consciousness processes quantum information through logic gates and collapses as a result of observations, like a quantum computer does. Synchronicity does not deny the conclusions reached by traditional science. It can work at the local level, but opens scientific knowledge to new possibilities, and invites us to look at the world through a different, non-local awareness.

title: Resilience and wellbeing through photography: how might images influence community capacity building?
Creators: name: Smith, Anne Suse
Publisher: name: University of Southern Queensland
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 190503 Lens-based Practice
subject: 050101 Ecological Impacts of Climate Change

description: This research responds to the increasing number of significant challenges faced by regional communities, as evidenced by the ongoing crippling drought in Central Western Queensland. Natural disasters pose both unpredictable and severe threats to the wellbeing and resilience of individuals and communities (Bhamra, Dani & Burnard, 2011). The use of expressive processes to respond to crises is one way to increase resilience. The question 'To what extent does participation in an image-producing project foster resilience?' became my key point of departure to explore how photographic images might promote resilience and capacity building for communities faced with environmental crises.

This research investigates whether encouraging people to express their experiences through photography could increase resilience during the ongoing drought crisis in the communities of the Barcaldine region in Central Western Queensland. It investigates the connection between images, resilience and wellbeing. The findings particularly relate to the “third wave' of resilience inquiry, which focuses on the use of creative expression (Richardson, 2002). The use of Grounded Theory and reflective practice to gather, code and analyse my findings allowed me to slowly accumulate data over time, and permit the findings to 'bubble up' from the image-making site in Barcaldine. I curated these images (reification) to produce a significant exhibition at The Globe gallery in Barcaldine, entitled Our Strength During The Drought (2018).

From this process, I developed four key assertions: 1) Wellbeing is relational and vital to resilience; 2) Photography can effectively express experiences of drought to promote wellbeing; 3) Reification is a practice for resilience; and 4) The project is a model of emergent community capacity building. I then went on to propose a Resilience Through Images Model, which outlines six interlinking steps to follow in order to use image making to respond to environmental disasters. This model can be implemented in the event of extreme weather or crisis events to help communities build resilience, wellbeing and capacity.

description: The Internet pharmacy industry is growing, with illegal pharmacies - those offering drugs without a prior prescription - far outnumbering the legal ones. In the past, consumers might have been deterred from using these unregulated pharmacies by their unprofessional appearance; now their designs improved to boost perceived credibility. This study examines the use of trust-garnering features by 10 illegal Internet pharmacies and compares these sites to those of 10 pharmacies certified by the NABP. The illegal websites scored as well as the legal sites on 5/7 variables. The results indicate that, based on design, Internet users might be apt to trust the unregulated Internet pharmacies as much as their regulated counterparts. Therefore, consumers should be counseled not on purchasing from sites with certain indicators of credibility, but rather only from Internet pharmacies that require a prior prescription, as this may be the only obvious characteristic that differentiates the safe from the unsafe.

description: Im Rahmen des Projektes Predatory Publishing, ein Teil von Austrian Transition to Open Access 2 , ist die Erstellung von Informationsmaterialien eine wesentliche Aufgabe. Im Laufe der bisherigen Arbeit hat sich gezeigt, dass das Gestalten solcher Unterlagen mit dem ausschließlichen Fokus auf Predatory Publishing ungenügend ist und zu Vereinfachungen führt, die der Thematik nicht gerecht werden. Predatory Practices sind eingewoben in die sich wandelnde wissenschaftliche Kommunikation. Dazu trägt die Transformation zu Open Access und die Ausgestaltung von Open Science wesentlich bei. In Bezug auf die Informations- und Wissensvermittlung braucht es einen grundlegend anderen Zugang. Einen Zugang, der den Bogen spannt vom Studium bis hin zur Forschung. Eine Sichtweise, die Predatory Practices nicht nur in Hinblick auf Open Access und Open Science kontextualisiert, sondern im Gesamten der sich wandelnden wissenschaftlichen Kommunikation und der Scholarly Commons verortet. Eine Herangehensweise, die nicht nur eine punktuelle Problemlösung darstellt - Wie vermeide ich in Predatory Journals zu publizieren? - sondern auch Kompetenzen vermittelt und nachhaltige Wege weist, die in einem sich wandelnden Umfeld adaptierbar sind. Ausgangspunkt waren die Fragen, welches Anliegen den Angeboten zu Predatory Practices zugrunde liegt und was grundsätzlich vermittelt werden soll. Was diesem Zugang zugrunde liegt, ist das Thema Caring for the Scholarly Commons als bleibende Aufgabe für Bibliothekar:innen wie Studierende und Wissenschaftler:innen. Im Vortrag soll dieses Thema in seinen konzeptuellen und methodologischen Potentialen und Konsequenzen für Bibliotheken skizziert sowie dessen Umsetzung in die Praxis dargestellt werden. Dabei solle es unter anderem um folgende Fragen gehen: Wie kann ein ganzheitliches Modell der Wissensvermittlung gestaltet werden, dass sowohl Studierende als auch Lehrende und Forschende in den Blick nimmt? Wie können wir adaptive Angebote entwickeln, die der Entwicklung von Skills und Kompetenzen im Bereich Predatory Practices und wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation dienen? Wie können wir durch unsere Angebote zum Caring for the Scholarly Common leisten?

description: Secondary access to the licensed spectrum is viable only if interference is avoided at the primary system. In this regard, different paradigms have been conceptualized in the existing literature. Of these, Interweave Systems (ISs) that employ spectrum sensing have been widely investigated. Baseline models investigated in the literature characterize the performance of IS in terms of a sensing-throughput tradeoff, however, this characterization assumes the knowledge of the involved channels at the secondary transmitter, which is unavailable in practice. Motivated by this fact, we establish a novel approach that incorporates channel estimation in the system model, and consequently investigate the impact of imperfect channel estimation on the performance of the IS. More particularly, the variation induced in the detection probability affects the detector's performance at the secondary transmitter, which may result in severe interference at the primary users. In this view, we propose to employ average and outage constraints on the detection probability, in order to capture the performance of the IS. Our analysis reveals that with an appropriate choice of the estimation time determined by the proposed model, the degradation in performance of the IS can be effectively controlled, and subsequently the achievable secondary throughput can be significantly enhanced.

description: This work deconstructs the High Court of Australia’s interpretation of the ‘free exercise clause’ of the Australian Constitution. Then, the work draws conclusions on the potential for that clause to evolve and operate as a rule requiring the Commonwealth to be tolerant and secular. Finally, this work considers the constitutional validity of federal anti-discrimination laws that impact the religious freedom of Australian persons. This work addresses three questions:

1. How has the free exercise clause in section 116 of the Australian Constitution been constructed by the High Court of Australia and is this construction adequate – why, or why not?

2. How is religious freedom an issue in Australia, and how does the free exercise clause in section 116 of the Australian Constitution relate to the social issue of religious freedom?

3. Having regard to the free exercise clause in section 116 of the Australian Constitution as a potential constraint, are federal anti-discrimination laws constitutionally valid?

The work is split between two divisions. The first provides an examination of High Court and Federal Court judgements relating to the ‘free exercise clause’ of the Australian Constitution. The key principles are identified and critically evaluated through a combined textualist and contextual lens, having regard to the legal realities of modern Australia. A conclusion is drawn as to the proper construction of the free exercise clause and its relationship with religious freedom in Australia. The second division pinpoints conflicting religion-law interests and cross-references the legislation that prompts those conflicts either demonstrably in case law or theoretically on a plain doctrinal reading. The language of civilised religion is adopted to objectively discuss the issue of religious freedom through the perspective of a constitutionalist and legalist. The constitutional validity of federal antidiscrimination law is then examined.

description: We investigate the long-time stability in the neighborhood of the Cassini state in the conservative spin-orbit problem. Starting with an expansion of the Hamiltonian in the canonical Andoyer-Delaunay variables, we construct a high-order Birkhoff normal form and give an estimate of the effective stability time in the Nekhoroshev sense. By extensively using algebraic manipulations on a computer, we explicitly apply our method to the rotation of Titan. We obtain physical bounds of Titan's latitudinal and longitudinal librations, finding a stability time greatly exceeding the estimated age of the Universe. In addition, we study the dependence of the effective stability time on three relevant physical parameters: the orbital inclination, $i$, the mean precession of the ascending node of Titan orbit, $\dotΩ$, and the polar moment of inertia, $C$.

Non-locality in the Science of the Millennium
Creators: name: Silvestrini, Paolo
Publisher: name: Organisms
Year: 2022

description: The most recent experimental evidences of Quantum Physics and the new theoretical considerations connected to them have paradoxically questioned the basic founding principle of the scientific method, called the local realism principle. The main consequence of this cultural revolution is the need for a different approach to complexity in the world view through a phenomenon that I have called quantum synchronicity. Quantum synchronicity is a phenomenon that is associated with the principle of cause-effect and tells us that in the quantum world there is an intrinsic correlation between systems, not attributable to a recognizable and expressible physical interaction, which means that a quantum system, and in general the entire universe, cannot be traced back even in principle to a set of separable parts, which can be defined locally and interacting only according to causality. The non-local quantum vision has its laws, potentials and limits, which we are learning to know and use for our evolution. The possibilities are largely yet to be explored, and range from technological applications, such as the quantum computer that is almost ready to be commercialized with immense implications in information management, to a revolution in looking at our essence and the world that contains us as inseparable elements.

description: Improving both accuracy and computational performance of numerical tools is a major challenge for seismic imaging and generally requires specialized implementations to make full use of modern parallel architectures. We present a computational strategy for reverse-time migration (RTM) with accelerator-aided clusters. A new imaging condition computed from the pressure and velocity fields is introduced. The model solver is based on a high-order discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method for the pressure-velocity system with unstructured meshes and multi-rate local time-stepping. We adopted the MPI+X approach for distributed programming where X is a threaded programming model. In this work we chose OCCA, a unified framework that makes use of major multi-threading languages (e.g. CUDA and OpenCL) and offers the flexibility to run on several hardware architectures. DGTD schemes are suitable for efficient computations with accelerators thanks to localized element-to-element coupling and the dense algebraic operations required for each element. Moreover, compared to high-order finite-difference schemes, the thin halo inherent to DGTD method reduces the amount of data to be exchanged between MPI processes and storage requirements for RTM procedures. The amount of data to be recorded during simulation is reduced by storing only boundary values in memory rather than on disk and recreating the forward wavefields. Computational results are presented that indicate that these methods are strong scalable up to at least 32 GPUs for a three-dimensional RTM case.

description: Many librarians have noticed an increase in the past decade of the number of citation-related reference questions that they answer. At the same time, research studies show that undergraduates are not particularly savvy at using sources and citing them correctly. There is also ambiguity in the academic community about who should teach citation use and what aspects of citation use should be taught. This study uses a combination of an online survey and semi-structured follow-up interviews to: a) shed light on the attitudes of instruction librarians towards teaching undergraduates how to correctly use citations, b) reveal the ways these librarians think citation use should be taught and who should be teaching it, and c) discover some of the best instructional practices that librarians use to teach attribution to undergraduates and to share these effectively with the library community in order to improve student understanding of citation use.

description: Students, publishers, and educators have embraced comics for their engaging format and high-interest storylines. Comics are not just popular choices for independent reading, however. Comics can be used in the classroom to support literacy instruction. Comics have been found to foster multimodal literacy, support English language learning, and motivate reluctant readers. The layout of comics makes visible the meaning-making strategies deployed by proficient readers. These strategies include sustained comprehension, visualization, and making inferences. Comics also provide opportunities for readers to explore literacy concepts such as setting and characterization, and literary devices such as foreshadowing, point of view, and flashback. This paper provides a framework for educators to select high-quality comics that can be used to scaffold these and other literacy lessons for K-8 learners. It includes an annotated bibliography of print and digital curriculum guides to integrate comics in the classroom.

description: Pecan yields vary substantially from one year to the next due to a number of environmental and management factors including the alternate bearing nature of the pecan tree. Carbohydrates are a direct product of photosynthetic activity, and it is accepted that the alternate bearing trait in pecans is directly correlated to the amount of carbohydrates synthesized and how these are distributed within the tree. The objective of this work was to study (for the first time) the behaviour of carbohydrates and mineral reserves in different Australian pecan tree organs (leaves, trunk and exposed lateral roots) through the monthly measurement of total non-structural carbohydrates (TNSC), soluble carbohydrates and the macronutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K), with an emphasis on the role that these parameters played in yields. The concentration of carbohydrates in the trunk steadily decreased from spring to early summer, and subsequently increased to a peak in autumn, then slowly declined during winter. A minimum was achieved in June, coinciding with the start of the Australian winter. The relationships between carbohydrates and yields were established for the months of September and October (late spring), and June of the current season (early dormancy), coinciding with early dormancy with subsequent yields. This is an important finding suggesting the potential use of carbohydrates in the trunk during winter and spring. As indicated by the significant correlations obtained in spring and winter, this research demonstrates potential for the measurement of carbohydrates to become part of the monitoring regime to assess tree health and aid crop forecasting. This study has also highlighted the relationship between TNSC, nitrogen and phosphorous in leaves, with subsequent yields suggesting the use of leaf testing early in the season to assess nutrient status and yield potential. Further work to quantify the contribution of carbohydrate storage and nutritional status to yields is justified.

description: A questionnaire survey of newspaper journalists at the Charlotte Observer and the News & Observer of Raleigh was conducted to gather data regarding use of online information sources (including the Internet, commercial sources, and internally created sources) in the work process of newsgathering. Journalists surveyed use online information sources more often than respondents in nationwide 1999 studies. A majority believes that online sources are very important to information gathering in their work. More than 80 percent use email and the World Wide Web daily, although less than half search internal or commercial databases weekly. Most never use forums, such as listservs and newsgroups, or applications such as FTP and telnet. About 65 percent of respondents are somewhat satisfied with their online skills, and about ten percent are very satisfied.

description: Die Verkürzung der Entwicklungszeit und Reduzierung der Gesamtkosten durch die Vermeidung von späten Designänderungen wird in der Produktentwicklung immer relevanter. Im Rahmen dieser Forschungsarbeit wird ein Ansatz zur Unterstützung des Frontloading aufgezeigt und an einem Beispielsystem aus einem Akkubohrschrauber angewandt. An drei Untersuchungsbeispielen werden die Einsatzmöglichkeiten des Ansatzes zu skalierten Untersuchungen in der Produktentwicklung aufgezeigt und evaluiert. Durch die Kopplung von unterschiedlichen Teilsystemen und dem zeitgleichen Betrieb in einem Antriebsstrangprüfstand (scaled-Components-in-the-Loop-Prüfstand) wird eine vorgezogene Absicherung unterstützt. Vorteile bietet eine vorgezogene Absicherung insbesondere für die Vorentwicklungsphasen, in denen noch keine vollständig funktionsfähigen Versuchs- bzw. Technologieträger zur Verfügung stehen, gleichzeitig jedoch eine frühe funktionale Absicherung mit Hardwarekomponenten gewünscht ist. Das Frontloading in der Produktentwicklung wird damit unterstützt und gefördert. Die skalierten Untersuchungen werden in drei Experimenten am scaled-Componentsin-the-Loop-Prüfstand für einen Akkubohrschrauber durch exemplarische Anwendungen veranschaulicht. Es erfolgt die beispielhafte Umsetzung der Skalierung der Leistungsgrößen in einem XiL-Prüfstand zur Anpassung des Systemverhaltens an veränderte Prototypen. Anhand von Experimenten an einem Antriebsstrangprüfstand werden Skalierungsfaktoren für die Anpassung der rotatorischen Leistungsgrößen zwischen miteinander verbundenen Systemen abgeleitet und verifiziert. Die Integration der skalierten Komponenten erfolgt auf einem XiL-Prüfstand über Koppelsysteme in das Gesamtsystem. Dadurch wird eine skalierte Komponentenprüfung unter Berücksichtigung des restlichen Systems ermöglicht. Basierend auf den abgeleiteten Skalierungsmodellen wird der Einfluss von Geometrievarianten auf das dynamische Verhalten einer Überlastkupplung eines Akkubohrschraubers untersucht. Durch den Einsatz des scaled-Components-in-the-Loop-Prüfstands und der abgeleiteten Skalierungsfaktoren können Gestaltvariationen bereits durch Einsatz eines Referenzsystems bewertet werden. Durch die Einbindung von physischen Komponenten und Teilsystemen aus Referenzprodukten und die Ableitung von Skalierungsfaktoren können frühe Untersuchungen skalierter Komponenten unter Berücksichtigung des Gesamtsystems durchgeführt werden. Die Forschungsarbeit beschreibt basierend auf den gezeigten Untersuchungen eine Validierungsmethode und stellt Möglichkeiten zur Integration der Methode in den Produktentwicklungsprozess vor.

description: We present a version of GMI (Gomory mixed-integer) cuts in a way so that they are derived with respect to a "dual form" mixed-integer optimization problem and applied on the standard-form primal side as columns, using the primal simplex algorithm. This follows the general scheme of He and Lee, who did the case of Gomory pure-integer cuts. Our input mixed-integer problem is not in standard form, and so our cuts are derived rather differently from how they are normally derived. A convenient way to develop GMI cuts is from MIR (mixed-integer rounding) cuts, which are developed from 2-dimensional BMI (basic mixed integer) cuts, which involve a nonnegative continuous variable and an integer variable. The nonnegativity of the continuous variable is not the right tool for us, as our starting point (the "dual form" mixed-integer optimization problem) has no nonnegativity. So we work out a different 2-dimensional starting point, a pair of somewhat arbitrary inequalities in one continuous and one integer variable. In the end, we follow the approach of He and Lee, getting now a finitely converging primal-simplex column-generation algorithm for mixed-integer optimization problems.

description: We consider the cosmological system with two interacting fluids: dark energy and dark matter, in a homogeneous and isotropic universe with dissipation. The modified gravitational equation for dark matter is solved. The analytic representations for the Little Rip, the Pseudo Rip, and the bounce cosmology models with dissipation are obtained in terms of the thermodynamic parameters in the equation of state. We analyze the corrections in the energy density for dark matter, in view of the dissipative processes and the coupling with dark energy.

description: This study examines the adherence to and departures from the prescribed pattern of reference transactions as established by the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA) of the American Library Association.  300 chat reference transactions collected from the reference department of the Walter Royal Davis Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were examined for patterns indicating the situations in which divergences in particular occurred and the nature of those divergences.  This study reveals that these divergences, generally, stem from the text-based communication medium of chat reference, and certain adaptations, to account for this text-based medium, have been created instinctively by both librarians and library users.

description: This paper evaluates the provision of digital reference services by academic law libraries to interdisciplinary students, who are not affiliated with the law school, but are researching within a legal area. By using an unobtrusive methodology, which involved presenting carefully developed reference questions to synchronous and asynchronous digital legal reference services, the research aimed to discover how receptive these services are to the information needs of non-lawyer patrons. Particular regard was paid to the types of resources that law librarians direct interdisciplinary patrons toward, and whether these are mainstream university-wide resources, open access resources, or specialist legal databases such as Westlaw and LexisNexis. The research assessed the completeness of reference transactions and applied these findings to the specific needs of interdisciplinary students.
