description: This study depicts an assessment of public accessibility of information and resources in science and engineering-oriented federal libraries via library Web sites. Federal libraries often play a large role in amassing information and resources and creating some type of access for both federal employees and the general public. This evaluation was performed to assess and compare, among federal libraries, the current state of information resources as they relate to public accessibility. Twenty federal library Web sites were reviewed based on service-related scope statements, actual resource availability, vocabulary, user assistance features, and topical searching/browsing capabilities. The research findings indicate federal library Web sites often do not adequately address issues related to public accessibility and use, including instruction, information, or assistance needs.
Steric modulation of ionic currents in DNA translocation through nanopores

description: Ionic currents accompanying DNA translocation strongly depend on molarity of the electrolyte solution and the shape and surface charge of the nanopore. By means of the Poisson-Nernst-Planck equations it is shown how conductance is modulated by the presence of the DNA intruder and as a result of competing electrostatic and confinement factors. The theoretical results reproduce quantitatively the experimental ones and are summarized in a conductance diagram that allows distinguishing the region of reduced conductivity from the region of enhanced conductivity as a function of molarity and the pore dimension.

description: Browsing has been shown to be the main way that most public library patrons locate new reading materials. A genre fiction classification scheme can to aid readers in their search for materials as well as preventing them from feeling overwhelmed when dealing with the entire fiction collection at once. This study investigates attitudes toward genre fiction classification by public library patrons in the Main Branch of the Durham County Public Library system in North Carolina. The survey was conducted, along with a comparison of circulation statistics, to determine the success of genre fiction classification several years after implementation. Respondents generally indicated satisfaction with the system. Fiction circulation continued to increase steadily.
Influence of separating distance between atomic sensors for gravitational wave detection

description: We consider a recent scheme of gravitational wave detection using atomic interferometers as inertial sensors, and reinvestigate its configuration using the concept of sensitivity functions. We show that such configuration can suppress noise without influencing the gravitational wave signal. But the suppression is insufficient for the direct observation of gravitational wave signals, so we analyse the behaviour of the different noises influencing the detection scheme. As a novel method, we study the relations between the measurement sensitivity and the distance between two interferometers, and find that the results derived from vibration noise and laser frequency noise are in stark contrast to that derived from the shot noise, which is significant for the configuration design of gravitational wave detectors using atomic interferometers.
Moved by social justice: The role of kama muta in collective action toward racial equality

description: Participation in collective action is known to be driven by two appraisals of a social situation: Beliefs that the situation is unfair (injustice appraisal) and beliefs that a group can change the situation (collective efficacy appraisal). Anger has been repeatedly found to mediate the relationship between injustice appraisals and collective action. Recent work suggests that the emotion of being moved mediates the relationship between efficacy appraisals and collective action. Building on this prior work, the present research applies kama muta theory to further investigate the relationship between efficacy appraisals and collective action. Kama muta is a positive emotion that is evoked by a sudden intensification of communal sharing, and largely overlaps with the English concept being moved. We investigated its relationship with collective action in both advantaged and disadvantaged racial groups in the context of the Black Lives Matter Movement (BLM) in Spring of 2020. In one pilot study (N = 78) and one main study (N = 215), we confirmed that anger toward the system of racial inequalities mediated between injustice and collective action intentions, and that kama muta toward the movement mediated between collective efficacy and collective action intentions. Both mediations were found for both Black and White participants. We also observed additional unpredicted paths from anger to kama muta and from efficacy to anger. Together, this provides evidence for the pivotal role of emotions in collective action intentions, but also points out that appraisals need to be better understood.
Medicine for what ails you?:  A content analysis of information presented in a sample of direct to consumer television advertisements

description: This study analyzed a sample of videotaped direct-to-consumer (DTC) television commercials to determine what types of information-seeking commands were present in the commercials, as well as examining the manifest and latent content of the commercials. Six hours of network television (ABC, CBS, and NBC) were taped during weekdays for a three-week period. The videotapes were then viewed and the DTC commercials were viewed again and transcribed. The transcriptions included both manifest content (e.g. on-screen text and narration) and latent content (e.g. background music and actions of actors in commercials). It was determined that most of the DTC commercials, due to Food and Drug Administration guidelines, have the same general manifest content. The latent content, however, varies according to the clinical indication of the drug being advertised.

description: The equilibrium adsorption of benzoic acid from an aqueous medium on a natural vermiculite-based adsorbent was studied in the presence and absence of hydrophilic silicon dioxide nanoparticles in batchwise mode. The adsorbent was prepared through grinding natural vermiculite in a laboratory vibratory disk mill and the surfactant modification of ground vermiculite by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, subsequently. The equilibrium isotherm in the presence and absence of nanoparticles was experimentally obtained and the equilibrium data were fitted to the Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin models. The results indicated that the dispersion of silicon dioxide nanoparticles at optimum concentration in the liquid phase remarkably increases the removal efficiency. Furthermore, it yields a more favorable equilibrium isotherm and changes the compatibility of equilibrium data from the Langmuir and Temkin equations to just the Langmuir equation. A quadratic polynomial model predicting the equilibrium adsorbent capacity in the presence of nanoparticles as a function of the adsorbate and initial nanoparticle concentrations was successfully developed using the response surface methodology based on the rotatable central composite design. A desirability function was used in order to optimize the values of all variables, independent and dependent ones, simultaneously.
Bi-capacity Choquet Integral for Sensor Fusion with Label Uncertainty

description: Sensor fusion combines data from multiple sensor sources to improve reliability, robustness, and accuracy of data interpretation. The Fuzzy Integral (FI), in particular, the Choquet integral (ChI), is often used as a powerful nonlinear aggregator for fusion across multiple sensors. However, existing supervised ChI learning algorithms typically require precise training labels for each input data point, which can be difficult or impossible to obtain. Additionally, prior work on ChI fusion is often based only on the normalized fuzzy measures, which bounds the fuzzy measure values between [0, 1]. This can be limiting in cases where the underlying scales of input data sources are bipolar (i.e., between [-1, 1]). To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel Choquet integral-based fusion framework, named Bi-MIChI (pronounced "bi-mi-kee"), which uses bi-capacities to represent the interactions between pairs of subsets of the input sensor sources on a bi-polar scale. This allows for extended non-linear interactions between the sensor sources and can lead to interesting fusion results. Bi-MIChI also addresses label uncertainty through Multiple Instance Learning, where training labels are applied to "bags" (sets) of data instead of per-instance. Our proposed Bi-MIChI framework shows effective classification and detection performance on both synthetic and real-world experiments for sensor fusion with label uncertainty. We also provide detailed analyses on the behavior of the fuzzy measures to demonstrate our fusion process.

"Why don't they read a good book instead?": Librarians and Comic Books, 1949-1955

description: This paper surveys the attitudes of librarians towards efforts to restrict and censor comic  books in the period from 1949-1955. This period includes the years leading up to and  just beyond the creation of the Comics Code in 1954, an event that censored comic books  determined to be obscene.  The analysis finds that librarians in the late 1940s and early 1950s were divided over  exactly how to approach the issue of comic books and children. Part of this ambivalence  stemmed from the inconclusive research regarding relationship between violent comic  books and juvenile delinquency. Moreover, the anti-censorship position that is  fundamental to librarianship further complicated the actions of librarians. The study  concludes that librarians were no better or worse than other cultural ambassadors of the  era in their reaction to comic books.
Designing a Culturally Appropriate Distance Learning Platform for Students in the Tłıchǫ Region of the Northwest Territories
Creators: Tejas Ambarani
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2023

In January 2020, (as part of my master’s programme before my thesis), I began a creative

collaboration with the community representatives from the Tłı̨chǫ region of the Northwest

Territories. I worked as part of a team of four designers for three months, where I had the

opportunity to read, learn, and understand the history and culture of Indigenous people and

the Tłı̨chǫ region. This Master's thesis is the next phase of this collaboration which has enabled

me to learn more about their community and help establish a strong collaborative relationship.

I have been an outsider in the many places I have lived in throughout my life. For example, I am

from India, but I lived in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and now Canada. Reading and understanding

Indigenous history has made me reflect on my role as a settler. Decolonization is a significant

issue cited throughout this research, which has also made me reflect on the impact of

colonialism in my life. As an Indian, my grandparents and family relatives still remember and

are impacted by the oppressive rule of Britain in India before our independence. Numerous

Indians were stripped of their culture, lands, and families like the colonialism in Canada.

Seventy years after independence from the British, India is still impacted by colonial rule.

Despite my multi-cultural background, I have been exposed and impacted by the colonial

system, through the language (English) I speak, to the television I watch and the books I read. It

is important to be aware that despite my background and experience in working with different

cultures, I must avoid making biases in assuming there is one specific way of going through the

process and avoid the assumption of a “right” or “wrong” way of doing things. Lastly, my multi-

cultural background as a designer has taught me the significance of customizing design

experiences by considering the role of culture and values of the people you design for.

description: In this paper we want to propose practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial-boundary problem of space-time fractional advection-diffusion equations. To start with, an implicit method based on two-sided Grünwald formulae is proposed with a discussion of the stability and consistency. Then, the preconditioned generalized minimal residual (preconditioned GMRES) method and the preconditioned conjugate gradient normal residual ({preconditioned} CGNR) method, with an easily constructed preconditioner, are developed. Importantly, because the resulting systems are Topelitz-like, the fast Fourier transform can be applied to significantly reduce the computational cost. Numerical experiments are implemented to show the efficiency of our preconditioner, even with cases of variable coefficients.

description: This paper combines experimental data with simple mathematical models to investigate the influence of spray formulation type and leaf character (wettability) on shatter, bounce and adhesion of droplets impacting with cotton, rice and wheat leaves. Impaction criteria that allow for different angles of the leaf surface and the droplet impact trajectory are presented; their predictions are based on whether combinations of droplet size and velocity lie above or below bounce and shatter boundaries. In the experimental component, real leaves are used, with all their inherent natural variability. Further, commercial agricultural spray nozzles are employed, resulting in a range of droplet characteristics. Given this natural variability, there is broad agreement between the data and predictions. As predicted, the shatter of droplets was found to increase as droplet size and velocity increased, and the surface became harder to wet. Bouncing of droplets occurred most frequently on hard to wet surfaces with high surface tension mixtures. On the other hand, a number of small droplets with low impact velocity were observed to bounce when predicted to lie well within the adhering regime. We believe this discrepancy between the predictions and experimental data could be due to air layer effects that were not taken into account in the current bounce equations. Other discrepancies between experiment and theory are thought to be due to the current assumption of a dry impact surface, whereas, in practice, the leaf surfaces became increasingly covered with fluid throughout the spray test runs.

description: Planning for places of worship in contemporary multicultural cities requires that policies and regulations be responsive to the spiritual needs of people of diverse faiths. This article assesses the experience of establishing mosques - Islamic places of worship - in the Toronto area. By 1997, twenty-seven mosques had been established: five built anew and the rest in adapted buildings. They were accommodated fairly within the existing planning policies and zoning bylaws. The assessment also shows that the relevant policies are ambiguous, and that planning standards, particularly concerning traffic and parking, are subject to divergent and contentious interpretations, resulting in widely recognized uncertainties and delays in the planning process. The article points out the subtext of social and political contentiousness that lies beneath the public discussions of planning issues. It concludes with a set of recommendations for both planners and developers of mosques.
description: L'aménagement d'édifices consacrés au culte dans nos centres urbains multiculturels modernes requiert une réglementation adaptée aux besoins de plusieurs cultures religieuses. Cet article présente une analyse de l'établissement de mosquées, lieux de culte islamiques, dans la région de Toronto. En 1997, on y comptait 27 mosquées. Cinq d'entre elles étaient des constructions neuves, les autres étaient dans des immeubles adaptés. La réglementation existante de l'amenagément et du zonage ne présentait pas de problème particulier. L'analyse démontre que les politiques applicables sont ambigüs et que les critères d'aménagement, surtout en ce qui a trait à la circulation et au stationnement, génèrent des interprétations divergentes et litigieuses, ce qui, c'est un fait reconnu, entraîne des incertitudes et des retards dans le processus d'aménagement. Les débats publics sur l'aménagement se font souvent sur un fond social et politique douteux. L'article se termine sur des recommandations pour les urbanistes et les constructeurs de mosquées.

We tension constraints arising from new contributions to Higgs boson decays against limits from high-momentum transfer processes that become under increasing control at the LHC. Going beyond leading-order approximations, we highlight the importance of multi-top and multi-Higgs production for the pursuit of searches for physics beyond the Standard Model extensions.

description: We used femtosecond optical pump-probe spectroscopy to study the photoinduced change in reflectivity of thin films of the electron-doped cuprate La$_{2-x}$Ce$_x$CuO$_4$ (LCCO) with dopings of x$=$0.08 (underdoped) and x$=$0.11 (optimally doped). Above T$_c$, we observe fluence-dependent relaxation rates which onset at a similar temperature that transport measurements first see signatures of antiferromagnetic correlations. Upon suppressing superconductivity with a magnetic field, it is found that the fluence and temperature dependence of relaxation rates is consistent with bimolecular recombination of electrons and holes across a gap (2$Δ_{AF}$) originating from antiferromagnetic correlations which comprise the pseudogap in electron-doped cuprates. This can be used to learn about coupling between electrons and high-energy ($ω>2Δ_{AF}$) excitations in these compounds and set limits on the timescales on which antiferromagnetic correlations are static.

description: Many studies have shown the stereotypical characteristics of female protagonists in the original fairy tales. Many characters are passive, and rarely show any masculine characteristics. For today's young adults, retellings of fairy tales are popular topics for teens to read and they want to be able to relate to the characters and stories found within. Using a modified version of the Bem Sex Role instrument, this quantitative content analysis compares the female protagonists in five selected fairy tales to their counterparts in five young adult fairy tale retellings from recent authors. Have the female protagonists stayed more feminine or do they portray more masculine qualities? Are roles still gender biased, or have they become neutral? This study explored the changes that retellings of fairy tales have taken towards addressing gender stereotypes.

Monte Carlo calculations of the Euclidean IIB matrix model suffer from a very strong complex action problem due to the large fluctuations of the complex phase of the Pfaffian which appears after integrating out the fermions. We employ the factorization method in order to achieve effective sampling. We report on preliminary results that can be compared with previous studies of the rotational symmetry breakdown using the Gaussian expansion method.

description: The Town of Banff, a World Heritage Site located in Banff National Park, is both a service centre for park visitors and home to some 7,000 permanent residents. Because tourism will continue to be the driving force of the local economy, tourism activities must be accommodated within a balanced social and environmental framework. Accomplishing this will involve many challenges, given the unique economic, social, environmental and political forces that have shaped the town and park.
description: La ville de Banff, un site du patrimoine mondial au coeur du pare national de Banff, compte quelque 7000 habitants et offre des services aux nombreux visiteurs du parc. Le tourisme joue un rôle primordial dans l'économie locale; aussi le cadre social et environnemental de la ville doit-il en tenir compte. Un défi de taille en raison des facteurs économiques, sociaux, environnementaux et politiques qui ont façonne la ville et le parc avec le temps.

description: Current research shows that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning
(LGBTQ) teenagers are being physically and mentally harassed at an extremely high rate.
School libraries are in a position to support LGBTQ teens by collecting and promoting
LGBTQ themed literature and resources. This study investigates the availability of
positive, appropriate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ)
themed internet resources from behind the filtering systems at high schools in North
Carolina. The results were mixed; some schools blocked none of the websites included in
the study, while others blocked as many as fifteen.

description: An extension of QED is considered in which the Dirac fermion has both Hermitian and anti-Hermitian mass terms, as well as both vector and axial-vector couplings to the gauge field. Gauge invariance is restored when the Hermitian and anti-Hermitian masses are of equal magnitude, and the theory reduces to that of a single massless Weyl fermion. An analogous non-Hermitian Yukawa theory is considered, and it is shown that this model can explain the smallness of the light-neutrino masses and provide an additional source of leptonic CP violation.

Young adults' library services

description: This paper evaluates teen websites at public library systems in North Carolina to see if they are designed for teenagers, meet their needs, are maintained after being developed and are accessible to most teenagers. Teenagers are in a critical stage of their development, preparing themselves to be independent and self-reliant adults. They have many needs during this stage that can be met by the public library. Unfortunately many teenagers have poor views of libraries and librarians and do not visit the public library. Teenagers spend much of their time online, searching for information, developing their identities, and for entertainment. The public library can develop teen websites that meet all these needs.

description: The non-profit sector in Canada presents several challenges and opportunities to professional planners interested in exploring non-traditional careers. This article describes the size and diversity of the sector, and explains its critical need of skills and tools for formulating policy, managing conflict and improving governance. The author identifies two areas where planners can make crucial contributions to this burgeoning sector of society, and encourages planners to pursue professionally rewarding opportunities outside the standard planning field.

description: We approach the topic of Classical group nilpotent orbits from the perspective of their moduli spaces, described in terms of Hilbert series and generating functions. We review the established Higgs and Coulomb branch quiver theory constructions for A series nilpotent orbits. We present systematic constructions for BCD series nilpotent orbits on the Higgs branches of quiver theories defined by canonical partitions; this paper collects earlier work into a systematic framework, filling in gaps and providing a complete treatment. We find new Coulomb branch constructions for above minimal nilpotent orbits, including some based upon twisted affine Dynkin diagrams. We also discuss aspects of 3d mirror symmetry between these Higgs and Coulomb branch constructions and explore dualities and other relationships, such as HyperKahler quotients, between quivers. We analyse all Classical group nilpotent orbit moduli spaces up to rank 4 by giving their unrefined Hilbert series and the Highest Weight Generating functions for their decompositions into characters of irreducible representations and/or Hall Littlewood polynomials.

description: TaAs as one of the experimentally discovered topological Weyl semimetal has attracted intense interests recently. The ambient TaAs has two types of Weyl nodes which are not on the same energy level. As an effective way to tune lattice parameters and electronic interactions, high pressure is becoming a significant tool to explore new materials as well as their exotic states. Therefore, it is highly interesting to investigate the behaviors of topological Weyl fermions and possible structural phase transitions in TaAs under pressure. Here, with a combination of ab initio calculations and crystal structure prediction techniques, a new hexagonal P-6m2 phase is predicted in TaAs at pressure around 14 GPa. Surprisingly, this new phase is a topological semimetal with only single set of Weyl nodes exactly on the same energy level. The phase transition pressure from the experimental measurements, including electrical transport measurements and Raman spectroscopy, agrees with our theoretical prediction reasonably. Moreover, the P-6m2 phase seems to be quenched recoverable to ambient pressure, which increases the possibilities of further study on the exotic behaviors of single set of Weyl fermions, such as the interplay between surface states and other properties.

Social planning: Mobilizing local civil society

subject: Volunteer workers in community development--Canada

description: This paper explores the contemporary practice of social planning in Canada. In the context of a diminishing social welfare state, the momentum for planning around social issues is generated by local voluntary associations. The evolution of the practices of social planning organizations is traced from their rational roots to the participatory, interpretive and critical approaches of today. These practices are organized under three functions: community organizing, knowledge creation, and communicative action. Such local capacities are identified as crucial to the practice of citizenship in a democratic civil society.
description: Ce texte porte sur une exploration du cadre contemporain et de la pratique de la planification sociale au Canada. Dans un contexte où l'assistance sociale gouvernementale occupe de moins en moins de place, les priorités sociales dans l'aménagement dépendent de plus en plus d'associations bénévoles partout au pays. Les pratiques des organismes de planification sociale (OPS), nées de démarches logiques, doivent composer avec les exigences participatives, interprétatives et critiques d'auiourd'hui. Ces pratiques remplissent trois fonctions principales : organisation sociale, recherche ou acquisition de connaissances et interventions fonctionnelles. Ces habiletés locales sont au coeur de la préservation de la citoyenneté dans une société civile démocratique.

title: The influence of culture on perceived use of public libraries by forced migrants in Scotland and England
Creators: name: Salzano, Rachel
Publisher: name: Edinburgh Napier University
Year: 2023

description: The work reported in this thesis is concerned with public library use in Scotland and England by forced migrants. The findings extend knowledge of the information practices of forced migrants in the context of public libraries. These are derived from the analysis of empirical data collected from (1) formal Scottish local authority documentation on the integration of forced migrants, (2) interviews with service providers who act as integration intermediaries for forced migrant communities in the UK, and (3) community validation through interviews with forced migrants in Scotland and England.

There are five contributions of the research:
1. An understanding of the relationship between cultural factors and use of public library resources by forced migrants;
2. The need to consider the culture of service providers in explorations of culture;
3. Further understanding of the role motivational theories such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs has on information practices of specific communities;
4. Demonstration of a novel method of validation conducted when working with participants other than that of the target population.
5. An extension of work by Appleton et al. (2018), Appleton (2020), and Appleton and Hall (2022) on the epistemic role of public libraries.

The specific cultural factors of social norms and information value are identified as determinants of information practices of forced migrants in public libraries. This contribution on the role of culture in the information practices of forced migrants is significant in the context of prior work with its focus on public library use by forced migrants and best practices for library staff to support them. In addition, the role of service provider culture was distinguished as an important explanatory factor alongside the culture of forced migrants. Here the detailed treatment of explanatory factors of information practices generates both theoretical and practical value for library and information science research.
