History--Sources

description: This paper documents the process of creating lesson plans that use primary sources to teach about the movement toward civil rights in Durham, North Carolina. It also discusses the creation of a website designed to house the lesson plans and offers teachers and librarians resources on how to find and select primary sources. The lesson plans were created using backward design, and are grounded in elements of inquiry-based learning. The paper explores the benefits of teaching local history with primary sources, and supports this research by examining how primary sources can help diversify history instruction through critical race theory's concept of counter-storytelling.

Robert B. House Undergraduate Library

description: Though undergraduate libraries have changed since they were first conceived of and implemented more than half a century ago, the published definitions of undergraduate libraries have not. This paper explores proposed definitions of undergraduate libraries to determine if they are accepted by contemporary undergraduate librarians. Five librarians who work at Robert B. House Undergraduate Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were interviewed using a card sorting task to determine which definitional criteria they considered most important, which criteria could be eliminated, and which additional criteria could be added. It was found that, though disagreement existed over which roles the Undergraduate Library should prioritize, the participants favored a simple definition that outlined the population served rather than listing the roles the Undergraduate Library should fill.

description: The modification of star formation (SF) in galaxy interactions is a complex process, with SF observed to be both enhanced in major mergers and suppressed in minor pair interactions. Such changes likely to arise on short timescales and be directly related to the galaxy-galaxy interaction time. Here we investigate the link between dynamical phase and direct measures of SF on different timescales for pair galaxies, targeting numerous star-formation rate (SFR) indicators and comparing to pair separation, individual galaxy mass and pair mass ratio. We split our sample into the higher (primary) and lower (secondary) mass galaxies in each pair and find that SF is indeed enhanced in all primary galaxies but suppressed in secondaries of minor mergers. We find that changes in SF of primaries is consistent in both major and minor mergers, suggesting that SF in the more massive galaxy is agnostic to pair mass ratio. We also find that SF is enhanced/suppressed more strongly for short-time duration SFR indicators (e.g. H-alpha), highlighting recent changes to SF in these galaxies, which are likely to be induced by the interaction. We propose a scenario where the lower mass galaxy has its SF suppressed by gas heating or stripping, while the higher mass galaxy has its SF enhanced, potentially by tidal gas turbulence and shocks. This is consistent with the seemingly contradictory observations for both SF suppression and enhancement in close pairs.

description: Based on the density functional theory with hybrid functional approach, we have studied the structural and thermodynamic stabilities of Cu2MSnX4 (M = Zn, Mg, and Ca; X = S and Se) alloy, and have further investigated the electronic and optical properties of stable Cu2MgSnS4 and Cu2MgSnSe4 phases. Thermal stability analysis indicates that Cu2MgSnS4 and Cu2MgSnSe4 are thermodynamically stable, while Cu2CaSnS4 and Cu2CaSnSe4 are unstable. The ground state configuration of the compound changes from kesterite into stannite structure when Zn atoms are substitued by larger Mg or Ca atoms. An energy separation between stannite and kesterite phase similar to that of CZTS is observed. Calculated electronic structures and optical properties suggest that Cu2MgSnS4 and Cu2MgSnSe4 can be efficient photovoltaic materials.

description: This study is centered on the current crisis of the scholarly publishing system and its possible solution -- Open Archive Initiative (OAI). Cost, access, peer review and archiving are four major issues facing the current scholarly publishing system. Rapid increase in the price of journals and publications, limited access by the researchers to those publications, an inefficient peer review system, and difficulties archiving print media all pose a threat a threat for the free flow of the scholarly information. The Open Archive Initiative is trying to address the above issues by exploring and setting up standards for digital archiving systems. In this study, we implemented EPrints system which is one of the most influential open source software applications that is capable of creating OAI-compliant archives. We extended EPrints system to support scholarly interaction including claim, concept and reviews.
An Investigation of Collisions between Fiber Positioning Units in LAMOST

description: The arrangement of the fiber positioning units in LAMOST focal plane may lead to the collisions during the fiber allocation. To avoid these collisions, the soft protection system has to abandon some targets located in the overlapped field of the adjacent fiber units. In this paper, we firstly analyzed the probability of the collisions between fibers and inferred their possible reasons. It is useful to solve the problem of the fiber-positioning units collisions so as to improve LAMOST efficiency. Based on it, a collision handling system is designed by using the master-slave control structure between the micro control unit (MCU) and the microcomputer. The simulated experiments validate that the system can provide real-time inspection and swap the information between the fiber unit controllers and the main controller.

What halts the growth of galaxies?

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The gas reservoir of galaxies can be altered by outflows driven by star-formation and luminous active galactic nuclei. Jets heating the surroundings of host galaxies can also prevent gas cooling and inflows. Spectacular examples for these three mass displacement channels have been observed, but their importance in transforming the galaxy population depends on the occurrence rates of outflow triggers. We aim to investigate the absolute and relative importance of these three channels. In an observation-driven approach, we combine distribution functions and scaling relations to empirically compare average outflow rates across the galaxy total stellar mass spectrum and across cosmic time. This hinges on local outflow studies which should be extended to systematic, large and diverse samples, and we do not yet consider a halo heating effect by radiation-driven outflows. Our results show, independent of simulations, the dominance of star formation-driven outflows in low-mass galaxies. Massive galaxies today are predominately prevented from growing further by jet heating, while at $z=1-3$ all three processes are approximately similarly important. Over the full mass spectrum and cosmic history, outflows driven by the radiation from active galactic nuclei is never the dominant process.

New public Management reforms, an empirical study of human resources critical factors, in the context of the Greek Public sector

Critical Sucess Factors

description: This work is an endeavour on the subject of the Critical Success Factors imposed by Human Resources, in the process of reforms, under the context of New Public Management, particularly, as this applies in the Greek Public Sector and more specifically in the cases of ISO implementation. The fundamental issues it attempts to elucidate are the Human Resources policies that must be applied, so that employees become an integral element for the successful implementation of any introduced reforms. Many scholars have pointed out the gap in literature regarding the effect of New Public Management (NPM) reforms on the human factor. Moreover, in the current Greek reality, in the context of the economic recession and the debt crisis, where public administration reforms are mandatory, the thorough examination of the vital issues, pertaining to Human Resources, consists a major priority. The qualitative research method applied with the employees of the reformed organisations has further aspired to ponder and determine what really matters during the transformational process from the employees’ point of view. The conclusions we have reached underpin the importance of Human Resources motivational factors in the reform process, taking into consideration that the employee is the catalyst for any change effort. Some of those factors were found to be also part of the ISO concept per se, thus, their implementation would boost the employees’ morale, while others must be carefully analysed, planned and implemented by all the stakeholders to further facilitate the change process. We have to bear in mind that, especially under the current dire economic environment, quality reforms could be a challenge, as they combine fiscal discipline and at the same time aspire to increase the employees’ and citizens’ satisfaction. This study goes further to suggest that, the implementation of ISO reforms could help all the participants, provided that the decision makers take into serious consideration the Critical Success Factors outlined herewith, that have been extracted from a survey conducted pertinent to our research. This study focused on the reforms/ISO process as implemented by the Intermediate Managing Authority of the Ionian Islands. Further research on the implications from the implementation of NMP doctrines on Human Resources should be conducted in other Greek governmental organisations, in order to reaffirm the results and possibly enhance the suggested model. Conclusively, our ultimate target is to assist decision makers and encourage them to utilise the arguments depicted, towards the successful implementation of NPM doctrines.
The Portrayal of Sexuality Information in Adolescent Nonfiction Sexual Health Books

description: Young adults experience a variety of changes as they mature through adolescence. Sexual development is one of the processes affected by the onset of puberty. Factors that have the potential to affect adolescent sexual development include peers, media, and print materials. Nonfiction adolescent sexual health books are a potential source of information on sex, sexuality, and puberty for teenagers. This paper studies a selection of fifteen sexual health books to analyze the portrayal of sexuality and puberty information found in the books. The results showed that most books provided a fairly broad overview of various aspects of teenage sexuality and puberty. However, since no single book provided a completely comprehensive depiction of these topics, a wide selection of these books is needed to present a balanced portrayal to young adults.

description: We positionally match a sample of infrared-selected young stellar objects (YSOs), identified by combining the Spitzer GLIMPSE, WISE and Herschel Space Observatory Hi-GAL surveys, to the dense clumps identified in the millimetre continuum by the Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey in two Galactic lines of sight centred towards l = 30deg and l = 40deg. We calculate the ratio of infrared luminosity, L_IR, to the mass of the clump, M_clump, in a variety of Galactic environments and find it to be somewhat enhanced in spiral arms compared to the interarm regions when averaged over kiloparsec scales. We find no compelling evidence that these changes are due to the mechanical influence of the spiral arm on the star-formation efficiency rather than, e.g., different gradients in the star-formation rate due to patchy or intermittent star formation, or local variations that are not averaged out due to small source samples. The largest variation in L_IR/M_clump is found in individual clump values, which follow a log-normal distribution and have a range of over three orders of magnitude. This spread is intrinsic as no dependence of L_IR/M_clump with M_clump was found. No difference was found in the luminosity distribution of sources in the arm and interarm samples and a strong linear correlation was found between L_IR and M_clump.

description: We present a catalog of optical and infrared identifications (ID) of X-ray sources in the AKARI North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) Deep field detected with Chandra covering $\sim 0.34\,{\rm deg^{2}}$ with 0.5-2 keV flux limits ranging $\sim 2 \mathrm{-} 20\times 10^{-16}\,{\rm erg\,s^{-1}\,cm^{-2}}$. The optical/near-infrared counterparts of the X-ray sources are taken from our Hyper Suprime Cam (HSC)/Subaru and Wide-Field InfraRed Camera (WIRCam)/Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) data because these have much more accurate source positions due to their spatial resolution than that of {Chandra} and longer wavelength infrared data. We concentrate our identifications in the HSC $g$ band and WIRCam $K_{\rm s}$ band-based catalogs. To select the best counterpart, we utilize a novel extension of the likelihood-ratio (LR) analysis, where we use the X-ray flux as well as $g - K_{\rm s}$ colors to calculate the likelihood ratio. Spectroscopic and photometric redshifts of the counterparts are summarized. Also, simple X-ray spectroscopy is made on the sources with sufficient source counts.
 We present the resulting catalog in an electronic form. The main ID catalog contains 403 X-ray sources and includes X-ray fluxes, luminosities, $g$ and $K_{\rm s}$ band magnitudes, redshifts, and their sources, optical spectroscopic properties, as well as intrinsic absorption column densities and power-law indices from simple X-ray spectroscopy. The identified X-ray sources include 27 Milky-Way objects, 57 type I AGNs, 131 other AGNs, and 15 galaxies. The catalog serves as a basis for further investigations of the properties of the X-ray and near-infrared sources in this field. (Abridged)

description: Public schools in North Carolina are experiencing a dramatic increase in the availability of technology.  This phenomenon has changed the role of the media specialist and, for some school systems, created a new specialty, the technology specialist.  This study examines the role of the school media specialist and the technology specialist in supporting information technology within North Carolina public schools and identifies areas of overlap.  One area of strong overlap identified within this study is support for students using technology. Factors that enhance or inhibit collaboration between these two "information educators" (Pappas & Tepe, 1995) are also identified.  Three factors identified as enhancements to collaboration include available planning time, previous experience collaborating, and professional development as a team.  It is hoped that continued research on the emerging roles of these two information specialists will foster greater recognition of their shared goals and the beginnings of a strong collaborative relationship.
Accessibility of Archives' Digital Resources for Users with Hearing and Visual Impairments

Year: 2018

description: Advances in technology and the increasingly widespread use of the Internet have led archives to publish information for researchers and digital collections on their websites. While this increases the number of people who can access their materials, it does not mean that their online resources are accessible to those with hearing and visual impairments. Many studies have been conducted on the accessibility of library websites, but the archival field has been lagging in this area. This paper examines the extent to which the digital resources that archives publish online comply with Amended Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. An analysis of archives websites in the United States using the WAVE tool andsurvey responses from members of the Society of American Archivists convey that electronic resources provided by archives are only partially accessible for users with hearing and visualimpairments.

description: We investigate how the quantum dynamics of gravitational models depends on the internal clock employed in quantisation. Our previous result on the quantum Friedmann-Lemaitre model demonstrates that almost all physical predictions from the quantum cosmological dynamics, e.g. the scale of the quantum bounce or the number of bounces, depend on the choice of internal clock. In the present paper we show that there exists an important prediction concerning the quantum dynamics which holds in all internal clocks. Namely, we prove that any quantum state asymptotically, i.e. away from a quantum interaction regime, admits a unique classical limit described by unique classical solutions irrespectively of the internal clock used for dynamical description of the given state. We demonstrate this property explicitly for the semiclassical Bianchi Type I model, which includes the semiclassical Friedmann-Lemaitre model as a special case. Our methods include the theory of pseudo-canonical transformations and the phase space portraits based on coherent states. As a by-product of the pursuit of our main goal, we elaborate the semiclassical description of anisotropic singularity resolution.

description: This plan was created to assess the impact of the Student-Athlete Library Liaison Program on student-athletes' self-efficacy when approaching library resources. The program is an initiative of the library to ensure it is meeting student-athletes' information needs. The program uses an embedded model where library tutors hold drop-in hours at the athletic center at UNC. The evaluation action plan includes pre- and post-intervention surveys developed to measure self-efficacy and the impact of immediacy and location on student-athletes' comfort with the library resources. The assessment plan can be implemented by tutors during and after sessions, and this paper discusses potential setbacks and opportunities when libraries evaluate programs involving student-athletes.

First, it presents a history of other communications media Congress has used since its inception. Next, the paper tries to define the nebulous concept of Web 2.0, taking a holistic view of the technical aspects and the ethos behind it. Finally it looks at the web sites of individual members of Congress to analyze different implementations of Web 2.0 features. Technologies examined include video publishing, blogging, micro-blogging, content syndication, social networking software, social news sharing, polls, podcasting, and widgets. Overall, while some Congresspersons have fully embraced Web 2.0, others are still just scratching the surface of this new technology.

description: The paper documents the planning and design of an Internet interface to search the  Ackland Art Museum's collection database. Preliminary work included reviewing other  museum on-line collection databases. The project itself consisted of five parts: a user  needs assessment conducted to learn about the system's potential users, developing  and testing the design requirements derived from the assessment, the implementation  of the proposed system and a usability study to test the system. Conclusions address  the problems encountered during the implementation and their resolution, as well as  recommendations for future enhancements to the system.  The lessons learned from this project may be used by other museums implementing a  similar interface, especially small and medium sized museums such as the Ackland Art  Museum. The results of the user needs assessment indicated a strong interest in  Internet access to museum collection databases which is a finding that may be useful to  grant seeking.

description: As a way to further improve the electronic properties of group V layered semiconductors, we propose to form in-layer 2D heterostructures of black phosphorus and grey arsenic. We use \textit{ab initio} density functional theory to optimize the geometry, determine the electronic structure, and identify the most stable allotropes as a function of composition. Since pure black phosphorus and pure grey arsenic monolayers differ in their equilibrium structure, we predict a structural transition and a change in frontier states, including a change from a direct-gap to an indirect-gap semiconductor, with changing composition.

description: Using functional and harmonic analysis methods, we study Kazhdan sets in topological groups which do not necessarily have Property (T). We provide a new criterion for a generating subset $Q$ of a group $G$ to be a Kazhdan set; it relies on the existence of a positive number $\varepsilon$ such that every unitary representation of $G$ with a $(Q,\varepsilon )$-invariant vector has a finite dimensional subrepresentation. Using this result, we give an equidistribution criterion for a generating subset of $G$ to be a Kazhdan set. In the case where $G=\mathbb{Z}$, this shows that if $(n_{k})_{k\ge 1}$ is a sequence of integers such that $(e^{2iπθn_{k}})_{k\ge 1}$ is uniformly distributed in the unit circle for all real numbers $θ$ except at most countably many, then $\{n_{k}\,;\,k\ge 1\}$ is a Kazhdan set in $\mathbb{Z}$ as soon as it generates $\mathbb{Z}$. This answers a question of Y. Shalom from [B.~Bekka, P.~de la~Harpe, A.~Valette, Kazhdan's property (T), Cambridge Univ. Press, 2008]. We also obtain characterizations of Kazhdan sets in second countable locally compact abelian groups, in the Heisenberg groups and in the group $\textrm{Aff}_{+}(\mathbb{R})$. This answers in particular a question from [B.~Bekka, P.~de la~Harpe, A.~Valette, Kazhdan's property (T), op. cit.].

Clinical Data Warehouse

description: With the emergence of Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) there has been increased focus on integrating medical research with the informatics practice to improve the delivery of health care. This paper presents a general overview of the field of data warehouse, the challenges that arise while implementing a data warehouse, and then highlight the important factors to be considered while implementing a data warehouse.  The paper goes on to describe the field of clinical data warehouse and address some of the challenges in implementing a clinical data warehouse. Carolina Data Warehouse (CDW-H) is described as a fully implemented in use example of a clinical data warehouse and various issues around clinical data warehouse are explained using CDWH. Research portal is used as an example to illustrate the flexibility offered by CDW-H to build new services on top of it. New services that can be built on CDW-H are suggested based on literature survey.

description: This paper traces the development of libraries in China, emphasizing the role  missionaries played in laying the early groundwork of future progress. Inseparable from  the development of libraries in China is the development of education. The paper  demonstrates the link between missionaries, education, and libraries focusing on the  nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  Religion has played a critical role in the continuing evolution of civilization. Two areas  on which religion has had its greatest effect are the fields of education and library  science. Even where religion is not directly associated with these institutions, it plays a  subtle, but vital role in their development. Missionaries spread the faith and culture of  their own societies, and over the years have often relied on the written word as a primary  means of doing so. Perhaps nowhere has the work of missionaries been so crucial to the  development of education and librarianship than in China.
Consistent ${\cal N}=8$ truncation of massive IIA on $S^6$

description: Massive type IIA supergravity is shown to admit a consistent truncation on the six-sphere to maximal supergravity in four dimensions with a dyonic ISO(7) gauging. We obtain the complete, non-linear embedding of all the $D=4$ fields into the IIA metric and form potentials, and show its consistency. We first rewrite the IIA theory in an $\textrm{SO}(1,3) \times \textrm{SL}(7)$--covariant way. Then, we employ an ${\cal N}=8$ SL(7)--covariant restriction of the $D=4$ tensor hierarchy in order to find the full embedding. The redundant $D=4$ degrees of freedom introduced by the tensor hierarchy can be eliminated by writing the embedding in terms of the field strengths and exploiting the restricted duality hierarchy. In particular, closed expressions for the Freund-Rubin term are found using this technique which reveal a pattern valid for other truncations. Finally, we show that the present ${\cal N}=8$ truncation of massive IIA on $S^6$ and the ${\cal N}=2$ truncation obtained when $S^6$ is equipped with its nearly-Kähler structure, overlap in the ${\cal N}=1$, G$_2$--invariant sector of the former.

description: The proposed Stage II Meaningful Use (MU) objectives, would require healthcare organizations to offer patients the ability to access their health related information through a web-based portal.  However, MU criteria is just one of the underlying reasons patient portals will become an essential component of thriving healthcare organizations.  As the Internet technology permanently altered the way in which we shop, bank, communicate and distribute information, these capabilities have also entered healthcare arena with the promise of improving patient-provider communications and healthcare outcomes.  This paper addresses the role of patient portals in meeting the MU objectives, evaluates interest and factors influencing healthcare consumers' utilization of portals, and identifies barriers to adoption of portal technologies by healthcare organizations.
The fibres of the Scott map on polygon tilings are the flip equivalence classes

description: We associate strand diagrams to tilings of surfaces with marked points, generalising Scott's method for triangulations of polygons. We thus obtain a map from tilings of surfaces to permutations of the marked points on boundary components, the {\em Scott map}. In the disk case (polygon tilings) we prove that the fibres of the Scott map are the flip equivalence classes. The result allows us to consider the size of the image as a generalisation of a classical combinatorial problem, and hence to determine the size in low ranks.
description: (v2): Section 8 added where we show bijections between tilings, rhombic plabic graphs and minimalist strand diagrams. (v3): Added appendix (with Max Glick) computing the asymptotic growth rate of the image of the "Scott map"

description: The NASA Kepler mission has revolutionised time-domain astronomy and has massively expanded the number of known extrasolar planets. However, the effect of wide multiplicity on exoplanet occurrence has not been tested with this dataset. We present a sample of 401 wide multiple systems containing at least one Kepler target star. Our method uses Pan-STARRS1 and archival data to produce an accurate proper motion catalogue of the Kepler field. Combined with Pan-STARRS1 SED fits and archival proper motions for bright stars, we use a newly developed probabilistic algorithm to identify likely wide binary pairs which are not chance associations. As by-products of this we present stellar SED templates in the Pan-STARRS1 photometric system and conversions from this system to Kepler magnitudes. We find that Kepler target stars in our binary sample with separations above 6 arcseconds are no more or less likely to be identified as confirmed or candidate planet hosts than a weighted comparison sample of Kepler targets of similar brightness and spectral type. Therefore we find no evidence that binaries with projected separations greater than 3,000AU affect the occurrence rate of planets with P<300days around FGK stars.

description: The neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) is a sensitive probe for currently undiscovered sources of charge-parity symmetry violation. As part of the TRIUMF Ultracold Advanced Neutron (TUCAN) collaboration, we are developing spin analyzers for ultracold neutrons (UCNs) to be used for a next-generation experiment to measure the neutron EDM with unprecedented precision. Spin-state analysis of UCNs constitutes an essential part of the neutron EDM measurement sequence. Magnetized iron films used as spin filters of UCNs are crucial experimental components, whose performance directly influences the statistical sensitivity of the measurement. To test such iron film spin filters, we propose the use of polarized cold-neutron reflectometry, in addition to conventional UCN transmission experiments. The new method provides information on iron film samples complementary to the UCN tests and accelerates the development cycles. We developed a collaborative effort to produce iron film spin filters and test them with cold and ultracold neutrons available at JRR-3/MINE2 and J-PARC/MLF BL05. In this article, we review the methods of neutron EDM measurements, discuss the complementarity of this new approach to test UCN spin filters, provide an overview of our related activities, and present the first results of polarized cold-neutron reflectometry recently conducted at the MINE2 beamline.
"There is Always More That Can be Done": A Survey Investigating Libraries' Measurement of Digitized Primary Source Use

description: This paper presents the findings of a survey seeking to discover if libraries are tracking  the use of digitized primary source materials available on their websites. The survey was  designed to address two research questions: whether libraries track the use of their  digitized primary source materials and, for those libraries that do track use, how they  analyze and make decisions based on the usage data. Findings indicate that the  institutions sampled see the value of collecting usage data and a majority do collect usage  data. However, the survey respondents report challenges to analyzing and making  decisions based on the data that they collect.
