description: This study examines the role of author, reader and publisher in the creation of the Sherlock Holmes legacy.  Each entity participated in the inculcation of this cultural phenomenon.  This includes Conan Doyle's creation of the character and his perception of that creation, the context of the stories as seen through the reader's eye, and the publishers' own actions as intermediary and as agent.  The examination of 160 Holmes texts at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Wilson Library Rare Book Collection provides insights into the manipulation of the book as object during Conan Doyle's life, including such elements as cover design, advertisements and illustrations.

 Type (lectotype, designated here):— INDIA. N [orth] W [est] India, s.d., Royle s.n. (K barcode K000356472 [digital photo!]; isolectotypes CAL34314, [digital photo!], LE01018489 [digital photo!], LE01018490 [digital photo!]; image of the lectotype is available at http:// apps.kew.org/herbcat/detailsQuery.do?imageId=145642&pageCode=1&presentPage=1&queryId=1&sessionId= E7A08333A29671 1C60CE7B581FAF9E26 &barcode= K00035647).
 Notes:— Royle (1834) described Pittosporum eriocarpum based on the gatherings from upper hills of Sansadhara (Sahastradhara) and Mussooree (Mussoorie) in Northwest India. We traced some specimens at LE, K, CAL and LIV that fit the protologue and can be considered as original material (syntypes). The specimen at K (barcode K 000356472) bears two plant twigs, flowering and fruiting respectively. The upper twig (in fruiting) is designated here as lectotype. The fruiting twig was given priority over flowering twig, since specific epithet ‘ eriocarpum ’ is based on tomentose fruits, an important character to distinguish it from allied taxa. Further the fruiting twig bears mature and well-formed leaves than flowering twig.
 While consulting original materials, a specimen (barcode BM 001209135) of P. eriocarpum from India was traced out at BM, but it is not a part of original collections since the annotations present on the sheet are not from Royle and there is no mention about the type locality.
 Additional material examined (syntypes):— INDIA. Northwest India, Mussorrie (Mussoorie), s.d., Royle s.n. (LIV 1952.121.2130/1 [digital photo!], LIV 1952.121.2130/2 [digital photo!]).

On the realizable classes of the square root of the inverse different in the unitary class group

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$ and let $G$ be a finite abelian group of odd order. Given a $G$-Galois $K$-algebra $K_h$, let $A_h$ denote its square root of the inverse different, which exists by Hilbert's formula. If $K_h/K$ is weakly ramified, then the pair $(A_h,Tr_h)$ is locally $G$-isometric to $(\mathcal{O}_KG,t_K)$ and hence defines a class in the unitary class group $\mbox{UCl}(\mathcal{O}_KG)$ of $\mathcal{O}_KG$. Here $Tr_h$ denotes the trace of $K_h/K$ and $t_K$ the symmetric bilinear form on $\mathcal{O}_KG$ for which $t_K(s,t)=δ_{st}$ for all $s,t\in G$. We study the collection of all such classes and show that a subset of them is in fact a subgroup of $\mbox{UCl}(\mathcal{O}_KG)$.

description: Consumers seeking health care information often turn to sources that provide neither an accurate nor comprehensive selection of options available to them locally. An information gathering model was developed to assist NC Health Info with populating their database with individual providers for a single chronic disease, diabetes, at the county level. The model demonstrates that it is possible to develop a standardized approach to identify appropriate diabetes resources that can be applied routinely by the NC Health Info staff. The model can be adapted for use with other chronic diseases.
Thermal X-ray emission from a baryonic jet: a self-consistent multicolour spectral model

description: We present a publicly-available spectral model for thermal X-ray emission from a baryonic jet in an X-ray binary system, inspired by the microquasar SS 433. The jet is assumed to be strongly collimated (half-opening angle $Θ\sim 1°$) and mildly relativistic (bulk velocity $β=V_{b}/c\sim 0.03-0.3$). Its X-ray spectrum is found by integrating over thin slices of constant temperature, radiating in optically thin coronal regime. The temperature profile along the jet and corresponding differential emission measure distribution are calculated with full account for gas cooling due to expansion and radiative losses. Since the model predicts both the spectral shape and luminosity of the jet's emission, its normalisation is not a free parameter if the source distance is known. We also explore the possibility of using simple X-ray observables (such as flux ratios in different energy bands) to constrain physical parameters of the jet (e.g. gas temperature and density at its base) without broad-band fitting of high-resolution spectra. We demonstrate this approach in application to Chandra HETGS spectra of SS 433 in its 'edge-on' precession phase, when the contribution from non-jet spectral components is expected to be low. Our model provides a reasonable fit to the 1-3 keV data, while some residuals remain at higher energies, which may be partially attributed to a putative reflection component. Besides SS 433, the model might be used for describing jet components in spectra of other Galactic XRBs (e.g. 4U 1630-47), ULXs (e.g. Holmberg II X-1), and candidate SS 433 analogues like S26 in NGC7793 and the radio transient in M82.

description: We present a systematic first-principles study of the structural, elastic, electronic, optical and thermodynamics properties of the sulvanite compounds Cu3TMS4 (TM = V, Nb and Ta). The structural, elastic and electronic properties are in fact revisited using a different calculation code than that used by other workers and the results are compared. The band gaps are found to be 1.041, 1.667 and 1.815 eV for Cu3VS4, Cu3NbS4 and Cu3TaS4, respectively which are comparable to other available calculated results. The optical properties such as dielectric function, refractive index, photoconductivity, absorption coefficients, reflectivity and loss function have been calculated for the first time. The calculated results are compared with the limited measured data on energy dependent refractive index and reflectivity coefficient available only for Cu3TaS4. All the materials are dielectric, transparent in the visible range. The values of plasma frequencies are found to be 15.36, 15.58 and 15.64 eV for Cu3VS4, Cu3NbS4 and Cu3TaS4, respectively. Furthermore, following the quasi-harmonic Debye model, the temperature effect on the bulk modulus, heat capacity, and Debye temperature is calculated reflecting the anharmonic phonon effects and these are compared with both experimental and other theoretical data where available.

description: Quantum correlations arising in Bell experiments, involving a physical source that emits a quantum state to a number of observers, have been intensively studied over the last decades. Much less is known about the nature of quantum correlations arising in network structures beyond the Bell experiments. Such networks can involve many independent sources emitting states to observers in accordance with the network configuration. Here, we will study classical and quantum correlations in a family of networks which can be regarded as compositions of several independent multipartite Bell experiments connected together through a central node. For such networks we present tight Bell-type inequalities which are satisfied by all classical correlations. We study properties of the violations of our inequalities by probability distributions arising in quantum theory.

description: The extreme extragalactic sources known as Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULX) represent a unique testing environment for compact objects population studies and the accretion process. Their nature has long been disputed. Their luminosity, well above the Eddington luminosity for a stellar-mass black hole, can imply the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole or a stellar black hole accreting above the Eddington limit. Both these interpretations are important to understand better the accretion process and the evolution of massive black holes. The last few years have seen a dramatic improvement of our knowledge of these sources. In particular, the super-Eddington interpretation for the bulk of the ULX population has gained a strong consensus. Nonetheless, exceptions to this general trend do exist, and in particular one ULX was shown to be a neutron star, and another was shown to be a very likely IMBH candidate. In this paper, I will review the progress done in the last few years.

description: The market demand for fruit-based healthy snacks in dried form is increasing rapidly. Novel and efficient drying techniques are being explored to meet market demand of fruit-based snacks with better nutritive value and sensorial attributes. In this study, suitability of far infrared assisted refractance window (FIR + RW) drying to obtain banana leather was ascertained and drying behavior, bioactives, flavor, microstructure, and sensory attributes were compared with RW and hot air (HA) drying. FIR + RW and RW reduced the drying time by 60–75% and energy consumption by 38–45% as compared to HA. RW drying preserved color and retained higher phenolics (19%), ascorbic acid (22%) and antioxidant capacity (16–47%) compared to HA. Among the studied methods, HA resulted in higher browning index and hydroxymethylfurfural content. FIR + RW and RW dried banana samples had maximum flavor compounds, better overall consumer acceptance and improved cellular structure with widened pores. The study indicated that RW and FIR + RW have good potential to be considered as alternative drying techniques to HA for producing high-quality fruit leather.

description: Government use of social media, particularly Facebook and Twitter, has become common practice over the last five years. However, as governments adopt social media tools as a way to connect with citizens, these efforts fall short of creating meaningful engagement. Government Fan Pages emphasize government driven, one-way information dissemination instead of two-way collaboration and exchange with citizens. This paper looks at a sample of North Carolina city government Facebook Pages to identify features that support two-way interactions between government and citizens that may contribute to increased engagement and participation.

description: Recommendation systems are an increasingly prominent part of the web, accounting for up to a third of all traffic on several of the world's most popular sites. Nevertheless, little is known about how much activity such systems actually cause over and above activity that would have occurred via other means (e.g., search) if recommendations were absent. Although the ideal way to estimate the causal impact of recommendations is via randomized experiments, such experiments are costly and may inconvenience users. In this paper, therefore, we present a method for estimating causal effects from purely observational data. Specifically, we show that causal identification through an instrumental variable is possible when a product experiences an instantaneous shock in direct traffic and the products recommended next to it do not. We then apply our method to browsing logs containing anonymized activity for 2.1 million users on Amazon.com over a 9 month period and analyze over 4,000 unique products that experience such shocks. We find that although recommendation click-throughs do account for a large fraction of traffic among these products, at least 75% of this activity would likely occur in the absence of recommendations. We conclude with a discussion about the assumptions under which the method is appropriate and caveats around extrapolating results to other products, sites, or settings.

description: Foliar diseases are prominent in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) that cause enormous economic losses to eggplant cultivation. Non-fungicidal approaches are increasingly being employed to control foliar diseases due to the environmental and human health risks caused by the use of synthetic fungicides. The present study evaluated the efficacy of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) compounds in controlling foliar diseases of eggplant. The selected GRAS compounds such as sodium bicarbonate (0.1%), salicylic acid (400 µM) and three plant extracts, namely neem leaf extract (200 ppm), eucalyptus leaf extract (200 ppm) and garlic clove extract (200 ppm) were evaluated for their efficacy in this study. The experiment was laid out in completely randomized design with six treatments and four replicates. Natural infection of foliar diseases was considered in this study. Data on disease incidence and disease severity were recorded seven weeks after transplanting (WAT). The significance of treatment effects on the measured variables was determined by analysis of variance and the treatment means were compared using Tukey’s test at α=0.05. The findings showed that the disease incidence and severity were significantly (P<0.05) reduced by the foliar application of salicylic acid and garlic clove extract, and the effectiveness of both compounds was statistically similar. Foliar application of salicylic acid and garlic clove extract reduced the disease incidence by 88.7% and 63.8%, respectively and the disease severity by 92.4% and 77.7%, respectively, over the control treatment. Hence, salicylic acid and garlic clove extract could be ecologically feasible options for controlling foliar diseases of eggplant during its vegetative growth period.

description: Glacial-interglacial cycles are large variations in continental ice mass and greenhouse gases, which have dominated climate variability over the Quaternary. The dominant periodicity of the cycles is $\sim $40 kyr before the so-called middle Pleistocene transition between $\sim$1.2 and $\sim$0.7 Myr ago, and it is $\sim $100 kyr after the transition. In this paper, the dynamics of glacial-interglacial cycles are investigated using a phase oscillator model forced by the time-varying incoming solar radiation (insolation). We analyze the bifurcations of the system and show that strange nonchaotic attractors appear through nonsmooth saddle-node bifurcations of tori. The bifurcation analysis indicates that mode-locking is likely to occur for the 41 kyr glacial cycles but not likely for the 100 kyr glacial cycles. The sequence of mode-locked 41 kyr cycles is robust to small parameter changes. However, the sequence of 100 kyr glacial cycles can be sensitive to parameter changes when the system has a strange nonchaotic attractor.

description: The cost of construction material in a construction project may range from 30 – 80 % of total construction cost making it a prime uncertainty in a construction project. Construction project cost overrun is a vital subject that should be considered in the construction industry. Construction project cost overrun has resulted in a delay in completion of projects and in some cases leading to litigation. The research aimed to find out the key causes and effect of poor material management and measures taking in place to improve it. A questionnaire survey administered to 45 construction professionals, their perception of root causes and effects of poor material management toward the causes and effects that were extracted from the literature review. Moreover, the relationship between different material management practices and project performance in terms of cost, quality and time were acquired from this questionnaire. The study found the top 3 most common root causes of poor material management identified were Negligence of workers, Incorrect take-off from design and drawing document and Management of surplus material. In addition, the top three effects of poor material management identified were Wastage of material, Increase in cost of production and Quality issues.

description: Crowdsourcing has gained popularity over the past few years as a way for library and archive professionals to supplement and enhance the description of their collections. This paper provides case studies of four community archiving projects, focusing on crowdsourcing techniques they used to describe or enlarge their collections. The studies were conducted to determine the kinds of techniques used in community archives, and the potential benefits and barriers they faced in developing and using the techniques. Analysis of the projects indicated that the up-front investment in developing crowdsourcing tools may be prohibitive for community archiving projects. However, the results also indicated that digitization projects were still of value.

description: This paper presents research and development work for the Dryad metadata application profile. Dryad is a digital repository for datasets underlying published works in evolutionary biology and related fields. The paper details the phased implementation of the repository and the corresponding modular application profile. The paper reviews the application profile methodology, reviews each element description, and describes how the schema supports the unique functionalities of each phase of Dryad. The approach presents a method for bringing the Level One application profile, which is currently being tested for Phase One of Dryad, into conformance with the Dublin Core Singapore Framework. The benefits of compliance with the Singapore Framework include maximum interoperability and long-term quality control of the schema. In addition, conformance will allow for the Dryad application profile to be utilized by other initiatives. Finally, this paper proposes a Level Two Dryad application profile and a means of implementation.

description: The SDSS-IV/eBOSS has an extensive quasar program that combines several selection methods. Among these, the photometric variability technique provides highly uniform samples, unaffected by the redshift bias of traditional optical-color selections, when $z= 2.7 - 3.5$ quasars cross the stellar locus or when host galaxy light affects quasar colors at $z < 0.9$. Here, we present the variability selection of quasars in eBOSS, focusing on a specific program that led to a sample of 13,876 quasars to $g_{\rm dered}=22.5$ over a 94.5 deg$^2$ region in Stripe 82, an areal density 1.5 times higher than over the rest of the eBOSS footprint. We use these variability-selected data to provide a new measurement of the quasar luminosity function (QLF) in the redshift range $0.682.2$. Both models are constrained to be continuous at $z=2.2$. They present a flattening of the bright-end slope at large redshift. The LEDE model indicates a reduction of the break density with increasing redshift, but the evolution of the break magnitude depends on the parameterization. The models are in excellent accord, predicting quasar counts that agree within 0.3\% (resp., 1.1\%) to $g<22.5$ (resp., $g<23$). The models are also in good agreement over the entire redshift range with models from previous studies.

Geographic information systems

description: As new map applications have increased in popularity the opportunities for gathering geographic data have increased as well. The difficulty that interactive user-driven map applications have is the motivation for user participation. People have become more comfortable contributing to forums, blogs, and sites driven by user content, but user-driven map sites have been slow to cultivate a large amount of user-contributed data. Focusing on a small geographic area can increase user participation within interactive map applications. The design and implementation of an online map applications focused on a small geographic area is presented. The site uses a map interface to gather new spatial data from users, as well as allowing browsing and search. Users can also annotate existing data on the site through the map interface. The final site presents a mix between theory-based design and the inherent limitations of a practical implementation.

description: This was an unmatched hospital-based case-control study conducted among mothers in Kampala, Uganda. Three hundred and ten (310) subjects (both cases and controls) were recruited within 48 hours postpartum and asked about their exposure status during the periconception period to assess their association with Preterm birth. Seventeen (17) exposure variables, grouped into three categories i.e. socio-demographic, lifestyle, and nutritional factors were assessed. This study was approved by the Higher Degrees, Research and Ethics Committees of Makerere University School of Public Health, Mulago Hospital Research and Ethics Committee, and Naguru General Hospital’s Research and Ethics Committee.
A survey of consumer health reference services policies of academic medical school libraries and veterinary medical school libraries

description: This study describes a questionnaire survey of consumer health reference services policies of the academic medical school libraries and veterinary school libraries in the United States and Canada. Library administrators and public services librarians were asked about library category and funding source, type of medical school served, policy type, reference services, and searcher response to specific medical reference questions. Survey results showed that library funding source accounted for the most difference in provision of mediated reference services to the general public; whether a library supported a medical school or veterinary medical school was not significant. Eighty percent of the libraries provided database searches for the public, but 69% performed under six such searches per week; mediated database searching fees caused many patrons to prefer to search on their own. Fifty-five percent of the libraries had a written reference services policy, 31%--most serving medical schools--used a written disclaimer.
Lighting the Fuse: A Survey of How Librarians Are Building Regional Identity through Public Library Services in Rural Central Appalachia

Subjects: Rural libraries

Appalachian region

description: This study explores librarians' perceptions of the presence, absence, and importance of
regional identity building activities in public libraries in rural Central Appalachia through
the results of a survey distributed to and interviews conducted with library directors who
serve these areas. Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data suggests many libraries are
promoting regional identity building through programming, collection development, and
outreach and that a majority would be interested in complementing their current offerings
with Appalachian-focused services if barriers such as lack of funds and limited staff
availability were mitigated. Further research might focus on creating a set of best
practices and a resource list for designing region-specific library services and
determining library patrons' perceptions of these offerings as a component of library
services. This study also addresses gaps in the library literature on rural public libraries in
Appalachia and the role of libraries in promoting regional identity in their communities.

description: We discuss studies of the $Q^2$ dependence of the $f_2(1270)$ and $a_2 (1320)$ production cross sections in $γ^*(Q^2)γ$ collisions at current and coming into operation colliders with a high luminosity. Changing the dominant helicity amplitude occurs in the reactions $γ^*(Q ^2)γ\to f_2(1270)$ and $γ^*(Q^2) γ\to a_2(1320)$ with increasing $Q^2$. This is caused by the coming of the QCD asymptotics. It is shown that the transition to the asymptotic behavior of QCD in the amplitudes $γ^*(Q^2) γ\to f_2(1270),a_2(1320)$ is provided by the compensation of the contributions of ground vector states $ρ$ and $ω$ in $Q^2$-channel with the contributions of their radial excitations.

description: Wetlands store large amounts of C in biomass, sediments and water. A major C fraction is in the dissolved organic matter (DOM) with multiple regulatory functions. Patagonian wetlands undergo changes in the water cycle due to climate warming and lower precipitation, causing shorter hydroperiods and reduced landscape connectivity with effects on C budgets. This study focuses on the optical characterisation of the DOM of an ephemeral wetland of North Patagonia. Along the hydroperiod the DOM showed optical signatures indicating terrestrial inputs, degradation and internal production. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration ranged between ∼4 and ∼9 mg L−1. The DOM pool displayed high molecular weight/size and aromatic fingerprints. Humic components C1 (microbial and/or vegetation derived) and C2 (soil/sediment) prevailed in the DOM, whereas the non-humic component C3 (from aquatic processes) increased from early spring. Experimental exposure to PAR + UVR produced slight changes in DOC and reduction in DOM molecular weight/size. The components showed distinctive photoreactivity/lability: C1 > C3 > C2. Along the hydroperiod the relative contribution of the humic vs. non-humic components (C1 and C3) determined the reactivity/lability of the DOM. In Fantasma pond, the DOM pool fluctuates in response to hydrology and degradation processes, and the alternance between dry and flooded periods determines C dynamics.
