description: This paper looks at the field of cataloging within the library science profession. The changes of the cataloging profession are considerable and related to the increasing importance of the Internet and the decreasing reliance on the traditional card catalog. The majority of current professional catalogers' duties and responsibilities rely on or are associated with computers and the Internet. This study is to determine more specifically how the cataloging profession has evolved in the past thirty years. Job advertisements for entry-level professional cataloging positions will be evaluated from the past thirty years of American Libraries and College and Research Libraries News issues. The skills, experience, and familiarity of certain knowledge that are listed, will be documented and recorded from the evaluation of the job advertisements.

description: We analyze deep Neural Network emulation rates of smooth functions with point singularities in bounded, polytopal domains $\mathrm{D} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d=2,3$. We prove exponential emulation rates in Sobolev spaces in terms of the number of neurons and in terms of the number of nonzero coefficients for Gevrey-regular solution classes defined in terms of weighted Sobolev scales in $\mathrm{D}$, comprising the countably-normed spaces of I.M. Babuška and B.Q. Guo.
 As intermediate result, we prove that continuous, piecewise polynomial high order (``$p$-version'') finite elements with elementwise polynomial degree $p\in\mathbb{N}$ on arbitrary, regular, simplicial partitions of polyhedral domains $\mathrm{D} \subset \mathbb{R}^d$, $d\geq 2$ can be exactly emulated by neural networks combining ReLU and ReLU$^2$ activations. On shape-regular, simplicial partitions of polytopal domains $\mathrm{D}$, both the number of neurons and the number of nonzero parameters are proportional to the number of degrees of freedom of the finite element space, in particular for the $hp$-Finite Element Method of I.M. Babuška and B.Q. Guo.

A Study to Explore How Differences in the Amount of Details in Visualization Impact Decision-making
Creators: name: Chen, Jiaoling
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016
Subjects: Information visualization

description: This study explores how differences in the amount of details in visualization impact the decision-making process. Everyday decisions like buying a used car are the focus of the study. A visualization tool that is able to show different number of attributes was designed and developed using JavaScript library d3. Twenty users participated in the user study and were asked to make car-buying decisions based on the observation of different levels of details of car information presented in the developed visualization tool.
Two patterns of the decision-making process were summarized. The increasing number of details in information visualization does not always influence participants' decision-making, while the value range and the level of importance of the newly added attributes turned out to be more influential on participants' decision-making processes. A weak correlation between level of confidence and the number of details in information visualization is found.
Implementing sustainability with off-grid solar photovoltaics in India: energy transformation for rural and remote communities
Creators: name: Yadav, Prabhakar
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Energy poverty, especially in poor communities, is widespread globally. Climate change concerns have brought considerable support for renewable strategies to achieve universal energy access. In the context of rural communities in India, decentralised solar power has emerged as a reliable energy solution, but its adoption faces multifaceted barriers under existing settings. This thesis investigates these barriers by empirically studying data collected from rural households and augments with content analysis of interview data from policymakers and rural bankers under following manuscripts: 1. Reforming capital subsidy scheme to finance energy transition for the below poverty line communities in rural India. 2. Fuel choice and tradition: Why fuel stacking and the energy ladder are out of step? 3. The prospects of decentralised solar energy home systems in rural communities: User experience, determinants, and impact of free solar power on the energy poverty cycle. 4. Breaking into the photovoltaic energy transition for rural and remote communities: Challenging the impact of awareness norms and subsidy schemes. 5. Multi-scalar energy transitions in rural households: Distributed photovoltaics as a circuit breaker to the energy poverty cycle in India. 6. Distributed solar photovoltaics landscape in Uttar Pradesh, India: Lessons for transition to decentralised rural electrification. 7. Pay-As-You-Go financing: A model for viable and widespread deployment of solar home systems in rural India. The thesis contributes to the existing body of energy transition literature by offering new knowledge for understanding complex and muddled process of socio-technical change in the context of developing countries. It also provides points of contention and conflicting interests of rural electrification stakeholders and shows how these conflicts and frictions points can be resolved to reach a point of policy and implementation inflexion to create enabling conditions for business innovation and efficient governance for a pro-poor clean energy transition and ultimately breaking energy poverty cycle.

Synthesis, properties and applications of all-cis-pentafluorocyclohexane 'Janus' ring building blocks

Subjects: subject: QD181.F1C6
subject: Fluorine compounds--Synthesis

description: Strategically fluorinated compounds such as the all-cis-pentafluorocyclohexane ‘Janus’ rings, the subject of this research, can have strong molecular dipole moments because the electronegative fluorines polarise the geminal hydrogens rendering them electropositive. In Chapter 1, a general discussion of the dominant interactions associated with organofluorine compounds is given. This is followed by an examination of the variety of fluorination methods available. The role of fluorine in medicinal chemistry is explored including in positron emission tomography (PET). A summary of previous work from the St Andrews group provides the contextual basis on which the following chapters build. Chapter 2 explores a recently reported Rh-catalysed hydrogenation reaction of fluoroarenes to access all-cis-fluorocyclohexanes in excellent diastereoselectivity. The scope of this reaction is expanded to generate novel cyclohexane products such as alcohol 2.47 and methyl ester 2.60. Derivatisation of these products has furnished a library of all-cis-pentafluorocyclohexane building blocks for further study. These include alkyl bromide 2.82, organoazide 2.83 and aldehyde 2.87. In Chapter 3, the elaboration of these building blocks to higher order molecular structures is explored. Ugi 4-component reactions (Ugi-4CR) with aldehyde 2.87 provide combinatorial access to medicinally relevant bis-amides 3.20-3.27. The Ugi-4CR, optimised by microwave assistance, can be completed within 45 mins. Using an HPLC method the Log P of three of these Ugi products (3.23, 3.25 and 3.27) was measured and in each case the Log P value reduced relative to phenyl ring analogues. This finding suggests a potential application of the ‘Janus’ ring as an arene isostere in medicinal chemistry. Other methods of elaboration explored in Chapter 3 include amide coupling, Wittig and CuAAC ‘click’ reactions. Chapter 4 reports the preparation of ‘Janus’ ring bearing novel amphiphiles, the long chain carboxylic acid 4.1 and alcohol 4.2 as well as analogous hydrocarbon reference compounds 4.4 and 4.5. A Langmuir isotherm study examined the influence of the ring system on phase behaviour at the air-water interface. Evidence is presented of molecular self-assembly for the long chain 4.1 and 4.2, unlike the classical behaviour observed for the hydrocarbon counterparts 4.4 and 4.5. This analysis is supported by a thorough examination of X-ray crystal structures and presents a platform for the further development of the ‘Janus’ ring motif for supramolecular chemistry. Finally, Chapter 5 summarises the findings of the previous chapters and explores possible avenues for future work such as the development of a ‘pull-down’ assay using biotinylated affinity probes 5.1 and 5.2 to better understand interactions between the ‘Janus’ ring and proteins of interest.

description: We analyse the prospect of extending the reach for squarks and gauginos via associated production at a $\sqrt{s} = 100$ TeV proton-proton collider, given 3 ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. Depending on the gluino mass, the discovery reach for squarks in associated production with a gluino can be up to 37 TeV for compressed spectra (small gluino-LSP mass splitting), and up to 32 TeV for non-compressed spectra. The discovery reach for Winos can be up to between 3.5 and 6 TeV depending on squark masses and Wino decay kinematics. Binos of up to 1.7 TeV could similarly be discovered. Squark-gaugino associated production could prove to be the discovery mode for supersymmetry at a 100 TeV collider in a large region of parameter space.

description: This pedagogical piece provides a surprisingly simple demonstration that the quantized Hall conductivity of correlated insulators is given by the many-body Chern number, a topological invariant defined in the space of twisted boundary conditions. In contrast to conventional proofs, generally based on the Kubo formula, our approach entirely relies on combining Kramers-Kronig relations and Fermi's golden rule within a circular-dichroism framework. This pedagogical derivation illustrates how the Hall conductivity of correlated insulators can be determined by monitoring single-particle excitations upon a circular drive, a conceptually simple picture with direct implications for quantum-engineered systems, where excitation rates can be directly monitored.

description: Working within a five-dimensional consistent truncation of type IIB supergravity dimensionally reduced on $T^{1,1}$, we consider supersymmetry breaking solutions with the asymptotics of the supersymmetric Klebanov-Strassler background. There exists a two-parameter family of such solutions. Within this family, we show that those (and only those) solutions related to antiD-branes at the tip of the conifold correspond to dual field theory vacua where a goldstino mode is present and supercurrent Ward identities hold. Our findings do not depend on the IR singularity of the dual backgrounds, nor on its resolution. As such, they constitute an independent, necessary check for the existence of supersymmetry breaking vacua in the conifold cascading gauge theory. Our analysis relies on a holographic derivation of the Ward identities which has a wider applicability, beyond the specific system and symmetries considered here.

description: This paper reports on an exploratory study conducted to discover the potential value of a gaming service in an academic library setting. The study was inspired by reports of declining campus library use and the resulting efforts to reconnect with Net Generation students. A survey questionnaire was employed to collect data from a random sample of 250 undergraduate students at North Carolina State University. Questions were designed to explore student perceptions of gaming in the library, impact on building visitation, and overall reception of the service. In addition, the researcher performed an analysis of a library-run online forum and conducted an interview with a staff librarian. The resulting data reveal a majority of students have an overall positive view of gaming in the library and use the service for a variety of reasons. Study data may be used to establish a best-practice for gaming implementation in the academic library environment.

description: We discuss the inhomogeneous spiked Wigner model, a theoretical framework recently introduced to study structured noise in various learning scenarios, through the prism of random matrix theory, with a specific focus on its spectral properties. Our primary objective is to find an optimal spectral method and to extend the celebrated \cite{BBP} (BBP) phase transition criterion -- well-known in the homogeneous case -- to our inhomogeneous, block-structured, Wigner model. We provide a thorough rigorous analysis of a transformed matrix and show that the transition for the appearance of 1) an outlier outside the bulk of the limiting spectral distribution and 2) a positive overlap between the associated eigenvector and the signal, occurs precisely at the optimal threshold, making the proposed spectral method optimal within the class of iterative methods for the inhomogeneous Wigner problem.

A simple prediction of the nonlinear matter power spectrum in Brans-Dicke gravity from linear theory
Creators: name: Sletmoen, Herman

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Brans-Dicke (BD), one of the first proposed scalar-tensor theories of gravity, effectively makes the gravitational constant of general relativity (GR) time-dependent. Constraints on the BD parameter $ω$ serve as a benchmark for testing GR, which is recovered in the limit $ω\rightarrow \infty$. Current small-scale astrophysical constraints $ω\gtrsim 10^5$ are much tighter than large-scale cosmological constraints $ω\gtrsim 10^3$, but the two decouple if the true theory of gravity features screening. On the largest cosmological scales, BD approximates the most general second-order scalar-tensor (Horndeski) theory, so constraints here have wider implications. These constraints will improve with upcoming large-scale structure and cosmic microwave background surveys. To constrain BD with weak gravitational lensing, one needs its nonlinear matter power spectrum $P_\mathrm{BD}$. By comparing the boost $B = P_\mathrm{BD}/P_\mathrm{GR}$ from linear theory and nonlinear $N$-body simulations, we show that the nonlinear boost can simply be predicted from linear theory if the BD and GR universes are parameterized in a way that makes their early cosmological evolution and quasilinear power today similar. In particular, they need the same $H_0 / \sqrt{\smash[b]{G_{\rm eff}(a=0)}}$ and $σ_8$, where $G_{\rm eff}$ is the (effective) gravitational strength. Our prediction is $1\%$ accurate for $ω\geq 100$, $z \leq 3$, and $k \leq 1\,h/\mathrm{Mpc}$; and $2\%$ up to $k \leq 5\,h/\mathrm{Mpc}$. It also holds for $G_\mathrm{BD}$ that do not match Newton's constant today, so one can study GR with different gravitational constants $G_\mathrm{GR}$ by sending $ω\rightarrow \infty$. We provide a code that computes $B$ with the linear Einstein-Boltzmann solver hi_class and multiplies it by the nonlinear $P_\mathrm{GR}$ from EuclidEmulator2 to predict $P_\mathrm{BD}$.

description: Since the 1950s, crew members have documented ill health – esp. neurological deficits – after breathing oil fumes that contain a mixture of organophosphate additives, including tricresyl phosphates (TCPs). Industry and military teams investigated reported symptoms, patterns of exposure, chemical constituents of the fumes, and control measures. The industry response was, initially, swift. Boeing researched bleed air filtration options and applied for a patent for bleed-free air supply design in 1954. North American Aviation did a two-year investigation into reports of flight deck fumes and recommended bleed-free ventilation or bleed air filtration. But industry response shifted from finding solutions to rationalizing reality. More rationalizations claimed that chemical exposure limits assure safety. It was argued that for the TCPs in oils, only the ortho isomers were toxic, and they will not comprise more than 0.2% of TCP blend added to oils, so the 'toxic content' would be too low to be a problem. Even the EASA-funded Cabin Air Quality report from 2017 shows outdated thinking and bias against validity of crew reports: "A human exposure study is the long-needed tool to provide an unequivocal and sound dataset to end the misguided discussion on cabin air quality once and for all." In 2023 crews continue to report fume events, ill health, flight safety issues. Very little has been achieved in 60 years. Still only one aircraft type with bleed-free air supply system design exists (B787). No bleed air filters for cabin air are available (only one option for B757 flight deck). No sensors exist to alert crews of oil fumes. There is limited training for crews to recognize/respond to fume events. There is still no standardized fume event reporting system. The new research project is titled "Cabin air quality assessment of long-term effects of contaminants". Crews support this, but after the project is one year in and unions have not been invited to consult or been asked for feedback. What opportunities will there be for labor to get more involved and provide feedback? Crew challenge the work packages of the ongoing research of "CAQ3". Crew demand exposure control measures: 1.) bleed free designs, 2.) less toxic oils and hydraulic fluids, 3.) effective bleed air filtration / air cleaning technology, 4.) real-time detection systems, 5.) mandatory crew education and training, 6.) standardized fume event reporting systems, 7.) disease recognition. Previous EASA-sponsored research was CAQ1, CAQ2, and FACTS. All have collected information. Crew asked: How does the new project FACTS2 = QAQ3 build on what earlier projects have found? Why is the focus still on repeating data collection instead of defining exposure control measures?

description: We present the graviton propagator for an infinite derivative, $D$-dimensional, non-local action, up to quadratic order in curvature around a Minkowski background, and discuss the conditions required for this class of gravity theory to be ghost-free. We then study the gravitational entropy for de-Sitter and Anti-de Sitter backgrounds, before comparing with a recently derived result for a Schwarzschild blackhole, generalised to arbitrary $D$-dimensions, whereby the entropy is given simply by the area law. A novel approach of decomposing the entropy into its $(r, t)$ and spherical components is adopted in order to illustrate the differences more clearly. We conclude with a discussion of de-Sitter entropy in the framework of a non-singular bouncing cosmology.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The $α$-decay energies ($Q_α$) are systematically investigated with the nuclear masses for $10 \leq Z \leq 120$ isotopes obtained by the relativistic continuum Hartree-Bogoliubov (RCHB) theory with the covariant density functional PC-PK1, and compared with available experimental values. It is found that the $α$-decay energies deduced from the RCHB results present similar pattern as those from available experiments. Owing to the large predicted $Q_α$ values ($\geq$ 4 MeV), many undiscovered heavy nuclei in the proton-rich side and super-heavy nuclei may have large possibilities for $α$-decay. The influence of nuclear shell structure on $α$-decay energies is also analysed.

description: In a recent article J. Phys. Compl. 4 (2023) 035005, Kawamoto evoked statistical physics methods for the problem of counting graphs with a prescribed degree sequence. This treatment involved truncating a particular Taylor expansion at the first two terms, which resulted in the Bender-Canfield estimate for the graph counts. This is surprisingly successful since the Bender-Canfield formula is asymptotically accurate for large graphs, while the series truncation does not a priori suggest a similar level of accuracy.
 We upgrade the above treatment in three directions. First, we derive an exact formula for counting d-regular graphs in terms of a d-dimensional Gaussian integral. Second, we show how to convert this formula into an integral representation for the generating function of d-regular graph counts. Third, we perform explicit saddle point analysis for large graph sizes and identify the saddle point configurations responsible for graph count estimates. In these saddle point configurations, only two of the integration variables condense to significant values, while the remaining ones approach zero for large graphs. This provides an underlying picture that justifies Kawamoto's earlier findings.

Fiction

description: This study describes the results of an online questionnaire survey of romance genre fiction readers. The survey was conducted to determine the behaviors and needs of romance genre fiction readers and how well public libraries are meeting those needs. Research shows that popular public library services to romance genre readers, has not kept pace with trends in the fiction reading patron base. Services to romance readers are, or should be, essentially the same that exist for any fiction genre: pertinent readers' advisory, conscious collection development, and access to collections through cataloging records. North American public libraries are failing to support the reading interests of 51.1 million readers (Romance Writers of America, Inc 2003, 3-6).

description: We calculate the tensor bispectrum mediated by an excited scalar field during inflation and find that the bispectrum peaks in the squeezed configuration, which is different from that of gravitational waves induced by enhanced curvature perturbations re-entering the horizon in the radiation-dominated era. Measuring the bispectrum provides a promising way to distinguish the stochastic gravitational-wave background generated during inflation from that generated after inflation.

Citation Analysis--Evaluation

description: This study used citation analysis to indicate the ability of an academic departmental library to support the research of that department's faculty.  Journal citations from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Biology Department faculty publications, as listed in the 1997-98 Annual Report were analyzed.  A list of two hundred eighty-eight cited journals was generated, and the four Triangle Region Libraries Network (TRLN) online library catalogs were checked for holdings.  Results showed that more cited journals were held at UNC-CH (94%) than at Duke University (93%), North Carolina State University (88%) or North Carolina Central University (65%).  Although  the Couch Biology Library at UNC-CH held only 65% of the cited journals, this accounted for 85% of the citations by biology department faculty.

Feasibility
Text Encoding Initiative

description: This study seeks to analyze the feasibility of these projects that involve the Text Encoding Initiative Guidelines and standards for text encoding of scholarly material. Many libraries and other institutions are initiating digitization projects that involve text-markup. For this reason, such projects should be analyzed for feasibility and usefulness. Eighteen project managers and field professionals involved in TEI projects completed an online survey to assess the overall feasibility of their projects. Several factors were used in the assessment such as amount of funding, completion of project, satisfaction with the encoding, and user feedback.

description: Gas can be violently stripped from their galaxy disks in rich clusters, and be dispersed over 100kpc-scale tails or plumes. Young stars have been observed in these tails, suggesting they are formed in situ. This will contribute to the intracluster light, in addition to tidal stripping of old stars. We want to quantify the efficiency of intracluster star formation. We present CO(1--0) and CO(2--1) observations, made with the IRAM-30m telescope, towards the ram-pressure stripped tail northeast of NGC4388 in Virgo. HII regions found all along the tails, together with dust patches have been targeted. We detect molecular gas in 4 positions along the tail, with masses between 7x10$^5$ to 2x10$^6$ M$_\odot$. Given the large distance from the NGC 4388 galaxy, the molecular clouds must have formed in situ, from the HI gas plume. We compute the relation between surface densities of star formation and molecular gas in these regions, and find that the star formation has very low efficiency. The corresponding depletion time of the molecular gas can be up to 500 Gyr and more. Since this value exceeds a by far Hubble time, this gas will not be converted into stars, and will stay in a gaseous phase to join the intracluster medium.

description: Objectives: To determine the association of hospital nursing skill mix with patient mortality, patient ratings of their care and indicators of quality of care. Design: Cross-sectional patient discharge data, hospital characteristics and nurse and patient survey data were merged and analysed using generalised estimating equations (GEE) and logistic regression models. Setting: Adult acute care hospitals in Belgium, England, Finland, Ireland, Spain and Switzerland. Participants Survey data were collected from 13 077 nurses in 243 hospitals, and 18 828 patients in 182 of the same hospitals in the six countries. Discharge data were obtained for 275 519 surgical patients in 188 of these hospitals. Main outcome measures Patient mortality, patient ratings of care, care quality, patient safety, adverse events and nurse burnout and job dissatisfaction. Results: Richer nurse skill mix (eg, every 10-point increase in the percentage of professional nurses among all nursing personnel) was associated with lower odds of mortality (OR=0.89), lower odds of low hospital ratings from patients (OR=0.90) and lower odds of reports of poor quality (OR=0.89), poor safety grades (OR=0.85) and other poor outcomes (0.80
