Characteristics of Collaborative Partnerships in Library Technology and Web Service Initiatives: Emergent Patterns and Lessons Learned

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The emergence of new and integrated approaches to information technology projects and web-based service initiatives in libraries poses a number of challenges to those who manage them. Library managers must work closely with specialists in areas that are not always found within the library, yet there is no evidence-based data documenting the factors involved in doing so. The exploratory study summarized in this chapter documents much of what practitioners and scholars alike consider important in this arena, and contributes to the literature in two ways. First, a meta-analysis of what both practitioners and scholars have found to be important in the areas of technology project management and web-based initiatives is presented that can assist professionals currently developing web-based project launches. Additionally, by using bibliometric techniques as the basis of this analysis, a newly developed taxonomy of these approaches is provided that can assist LIS professionals with future cooperative web-based initiatives. Domain analytic techniques are utilized in the study to examine a selection (n=276) of published articles and papers to ascertain what library and information professionals have learned from embarking on such collaborations. A grounded theory approach is taken in order to develop a working taxonomy of topics and themes relating to collaborative online initiatives. The findings illustrate that library and information science project managers involved in online and web-based initiatives face five key areas of concern: information technology management, information retrieval protocols, user-specific applications, user education, and strategic planning.
Thatched Partial Orders

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

A thatch is a type of partial ordering which is most naturally described as a geometric construction. The geometry of these constructions is outlined in this note. A wait-and-see concurrent process may include any number of sub-processes, each regarded as a separate thread of execution. However if at any point the process launches a collection of concurrent threads it must wait and see how they terminate before proceeding. Each sub-process may also launch further sub-processes, which are also subject to the wait and see restriction. A wait-and-see process can be regarded as a thatch. This note describes some interesting mathematical properties of thatching that are relevant to these concurrent processes.
Reinterpreting selective impairments in memory: computational and empirical simulations of dissociations in amnesia

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

By a dominant account, memory is composed of multiple storage systems, each operating according to unique principles. By an alternative account, memory is a single storage system and operates according to a single set of principles. Selective memory impairments in amnesia serve as the primary evidence for the multiple-system perspective. This thesis reports a critical appraisal of the multiple-system perspective using a combination of computational and empirical methods. In the computational analysis, I adopt the Holographic Exemplar Model, a single-system model of memory based on Hintzman’s (1986) classic MINERVA2 model. I simulate amnesia by manipulating the quality with which items are encoded in memory. In the empirical analysis, I simulate amnesia by manipulating peoples’ quality of encoding by limiting the time given to study stimuli. Simulations 1-2 and Experiments 1-2 simulate a dissociation between classification and recognition. All four analyses are consistent with the original results. Simulation 3 and Experiment 3 simulate single and double dissociations between tachistoscopic identification and recognition. The analyses were consistent with the single but not double dissociation. Simulation 4 and Experiment 4 simulate a dissociation among word-stem completion, cued recall, and recognition. Both analyses were only partially consistent with the original results, representing a failure overall. Simulation 5 and Experiment 5 derived a novel prediction from artificial grammar learning, predicting a non-dissociation between string completion and recognition. The mixed results provide some support for a single-system account of memory and opens opportunities for future work. I argue that the analysis is best considered in convergence with previous work moving toward a more integrated account of memory

Enhancing Library Engagement: Designing a Mobile Application for Dr. GRD Memorial Library Using Jotform and Chatbase

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Mobile applications are software applications developed for small and wireless computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, rather than desktops or laptops. With advancements in networking technologies, mobile applications are increasingly utilized in the field of education, particularly in libraries, to engage more users. They are predominantly preferred for providing library services such as accessing e-resources like e-books, e-journals, e-newspapers, e-patents, etc. Additionally, these applications provide users with access at any time, from anywhere, and help save time. This paper briefly explains the design of a mobile application for Dr. GRD Memorial Library, the main library of PSG College of Technology, using Jotform, a free, no-code app builder that allows sharing multiple forms, links, and other elements in a single app that works on any device. To enhance interactivity, a chatbot is also incorporated using an AI chatbot builder, Chatbase, primarily utilized for adding chat widgets in mobile applications.
Metacognition in a secondary school : the development of a collaborative and iterative professional development programme

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

RESEARCH QUESTIONS: \n1. What do teachers currently believe and do that is considered to foster students’ metacognition? \n2. How might teachers conduct a collaborative inquiry into building capacity for developing metacognition in their students? \n3. What recommendations can be made about a Professional Development framework that is collaborative, meaningful and sustainable? \n \nABSTRACT: \nThere is a growing body of evidence in support of explicit metacognition instruction as a means of supporting the learning and development of secondary school students. The common appreciation for the value of metacognition is not reflected in practice, however, and there exists a need for professional development programmes to support teachers in explicitly bringing this into the classroom. \n \nA review of the literature identified the aspects of professional development that are most likely to promote meaningful and sustainable changes in practice. This theory was used to inform the development of a professional development programme for eight participant teachers from a co-educational Auckland secondary school, justified by the influence that individual teachers have on student outcomes. \n \nQualitative data from focus groups, semi-structured interviews, an online document, and questionnaires, were gathered on the experience of these participants as they inquired into fostering their students' metacognitive capacity over a period of two and a half school terms. \n \nThe results indicate that a critical, collaborative inquiry is an effective means of shifting assumptions, beliefs, and practices of teachers over time, however this does not occur uniformly. Providing encouragement for autonomy and support, together with opportunities to synthesise research and models of best practice, empowers teachers to enact changes and challenge assumptions. \n \nWhilst the developed programme was focused on fostering metacognition, a distillation of the research findings confirmed that teachers benefit from explicitly developing their own metacognitive awareness regardless of the context of the professional development which they are undertaking, reinforcing the value of a lifelong learner disposition.
Microwave atomic force microscopy imaging for nanometer-scale electrical property characterization

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

We introduce a new type of microscopy which is capable of investigating surface topography and electrical property of conductive and dielectric materials simultaneously on a nanometer scale. The microwave atomic force microscopy is a combination of the principles of the scanning probe microscope and the microwave-measurement technique. As a result, under the noncontact AFM working conditions, we successfully generated a microwave image of a 200-nm Au film coating on a glass wafer substrate with a spatial resolution of 120 nm and a measured voltage difference of 19.2 mV between the two materials.
Implementing a pragmatic clinical trial to tailor opioids for chronic pain on behalf of the IGNITE ADOPT PGx investigators

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract Chronic pain is a prevalent condition with enormous economic burden. Opioids such as tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone are commonly used to treat chronic pain; these drugs are activated to more potent opioid receptor agonists by the hepatic CYP2D6 enzyme. Results from clinical studies and mechanistic understandings suggest that CYP2D6‐guided therapy will improve pain control and reduce adverse drug events. However, CYP2D6 is rarely used in clinical practice due in part to the demand for additional clinical trial evidence. Thus, we designed the ADOPT‐PGx (A Depression and Opioid Pragmatic Trial in Pharmacogenetics) chronic pain study, a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized controlled clinical trial, to assess the effect of CYP2D6 testing on pain management. The study enrolled 1048 participants who are taking or being considered for treatment with CYP2D6‐impacted opioids for their chronic pain. Participants were randomized to receive immediate or delayed (by 6 months) genotyping of CYP2D6 with clinical decision support (CDS). CDS encouraged the providers to follow the CYP2D6‐guided trial recommendations. The primary study outcome is the 3‐month absolute change in the composite pain intensity score assessed using Patient‐Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures. Follow‐up will be completed in July 2024. Herein, we describe the design of this trial along with challenges encountered during enrollment.
[Preparation and application of rabbit polyclonal antibody against human glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 1(GFPT1)].

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Objective To prepare rabbit polyclonal antibody specifically against human glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 1(GFPT1). Methods The protein sequences of GFPT1 and its highly homologous isozyme GFPT2 were compared. Two peptides for the specific sequence of GFPT1 were designed and synthesized. New Zealand rabbits were immunized by peptide coupled with Keyhole Limpet hemocyanin (KLH) as antigen. Antiserum was obtained after 3 booster immunizations. The titer of the antiserum against GFPT1 were detected by ELISA. The E.coli expression vectors of GFPT1 and GFPT2 were constructed, and the recombinant proteins of GFPT1 and GFPT2 were obtained by induced expression. GFPT1 and GFPT2 recombinant proteins were analyzed by Western blot to verify the specificity of the antiserum. Immuno-fluorescence cytochemical staining for GFPT1 expression in 786-O cells was verified as for whether the obtained antiserum could recognize the endogenously expressed GFPT1. Results Polyclonal antibody specifically recognizing GFPT1 was obtained and the titer of polyclonal antibody reached 1:1 458 000. Conclusion The experiment successfully prepared the specific rabbit polyclonal antibody against GFPT1.
Disseminated Herpes Zoster

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Herpes zoster is an acute viral infection characterized by vesicular skin lesions which are usually distributed over several unilateral adjacent sensory dermatomes. On microscopic examination the typical vesicular lesion reveals inflammation of the corium, edematous "ballooning" of epidermal cells, intranuclear inclusion bodies, and giant cell formation.1Inflammation and necrosis also occur in ganglia of the sensory portions of spinal or cranial nerves and occasionally in motor roots or the spinal cord. A localized leptomeningitis which leads to pleocytosis and elevated protein in cerebrospinal fluid is relatively common.2 In the typical case of herpes zoster, the cutaneous lesions are largely localized to the sites of initial involvement, and manifestations of a constitutional disturbance are minimal. However, in about 2% to 5% of cases of zoster, hematogenous dissemination of virus apparently occurs and leads to the development of widespread cutaneous lesions and a clinical syndrome with many of the characteristics
MEC in IoV: A Review of Resource Issues and Solution Methods *

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) has received a lot of traction since its introduction by The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) promising the integration of the Telecommunications and Information Technology worlds. The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is an area that could greatly benefit from the implementation of MEC-based solutions. In this paper we first present an overview of the Internet of Vehicles (IoV) and the key technologies that facilitate its implementation. Next, we categorize varied use cases of Multi-access Edge Computing in the Internet of Vehicles. The results of the categorization show that MEC allows the integration of technologies such as Software Defined Networking, Network Functions Virtualization, Service Function Chaining, Blockchain and Machine Learning to improve IoV network topology design, computational capacity and Quality of Service. This review also discusses the implementation of machine learning approaches with respect to network topology, computational capacity and Quality of Service as a new horizon that will breathe new life into the MEC-IoV landscape.
Effects of warming and isolation from precipitation on the soil carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, and their stoichiometries in an alpine meadow in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau: A greenhouse warming study

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Introduction In the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), alpine meadows are among the most noticeable reflection of global climate change. However, effects of global warming on soils hosting alpine meadows in the QTP, such as reduced moisture because of low precipitation, remain unclear. Methods Here, the soil moisture content (SMC), pH, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), ammonium nitrogen (NH 4 + –N), nitrate nitrogen (NO 3 − –N) and available phosphorus (AP) contents in the QTP were analyzed. The changes in and stoichiometries of total carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (TC, TN, and TP), microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus (MBC, MBN, and MBP), β-1,4-glucosidase (BG), β-1,4-N-acetylglucoaminosidase (NAG), leucine aminopeptidase (LAP), and acid phosphatase (ACP) in the 0–30 cm layer of soils associated with warming in a greenhouse in the QTP from 2015 to 2020 were characterized. Results We found that warming in the greenhouse significantly decreased the SMC, NO 3 − –N, MBC, MBN, MBP, BG, LAP, ACP, and enzymatic C:N ratio. The warming increased the DOC, NH 4 + –N, AP, MBC:MBN, and enzymatic N:P ratios noticeably. The pH, TC, TN, TP, C:N, C:P, N:P, MBC:MBP, MBN:MBP, and enzymatic C:P ratios were minimally affected. Conclusion The results showed that warming and isolation from precipitation promoted mineralization of N and P in the soil but did not significantly alter the cycling of elements in soils in an alpine meadow.
Bathing care assistance with robot suit HAL

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

In the field of nursing care, caregivers have to bear a great burden due to assistive movements such as supporting of the care-receivers body, lifting them, moving them onto the wheel chair etc. In this paper, we focus on getting a care-receiver in and out of the bathtub, which is one of the most difficult movements for caregivers. Considering an important activity that puts a large burden on caregivers, lifting, there are many types of lifting devices available for transferring disabled people. Nevertheless it is difficult to use fixed equipment such as a mechanical lift with home care because it is expensive to rebuild the bathroom. The physical burden involved in assisting action in the field of nursing care can be greatly reduced by wearing the HAL (Hybrid Assistive Limb) full-body type. The objectives of this paper are to propose a new method of bathing care assistance using the robot suit HAL, to develop the upper half body of HAL, which reduces the physical burden on the wearer's upper limbs, and to show its effectiveness through an experiment. The study focused on reducing the trunk inclination angle, which is related to the physical load around the lumbar spine. The new method mainly uses the caregiver's upper limb to support the weight of the care-receiver. Therefore, we built a mechanism which locks the power unit of a HAL joint to assist the motor function of the wearer's upper limbs. To confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method, we demonstrated that the mechanisms of the power units kept the angles of the upper limbs steady while the wearer held a weight of 50(kg), and that the physical burden on the upper limb of the wearer was reduced. As a results of this experiment, we confirmed the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Emergence of Chern Insulating States in Non-Magic Angle Twisted Bilayer Graphene

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Twisting two layers into a magic angle (MA) of ∼1.1° is found essential to create low energy flat bands and the resulting correlated insulating, superconducting, and magnetic phases in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). While most of previous works focus on revealing these emergent states in MA-TBG, a study of the twist angle dependence, which helps to map an evolution of these phases, is yet less explored. Here, we report a magneto-transport study on one non-magic angle TBG device, whose twist angle θ changes from 1.25° at one end to 1.43° at the other. For θ = 1.25° we observe an emergence of topological insulating states at hole side with a sequence of Chern number | C | = 4 – | v |, where v is the number of electrons (holes) in moiré unite cell. When θ > 1.25°, the Chern insulator from flat band disappears and evolves into fractal Hofstadter butterfly quantum Hall insulator where magnetic flux in one moiré unite cell matters. Our observations will stimulate further theoretical and experimental investigations on the relationship between electron interactions and non-trivial band topology.

Experimental and Computational Studies on Domain-Swapped Structure Stabilization of an Antibody Light Chain by Disulfide Bond Introduction

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

Development of different platforms would be useful for designing functional antibodies to improve the efficiency of antibody-based drugs. Three-dimensional domain swapping (3D-DS) may occur in the variable region of antibody light chain #4C214A, and a pair of domain-swapped dimers may interact with each other to form a tetramer. In this study, to stabilize the 3D-DS dimer structure in #4C214A, Val2 in strand A (swapping region) and Thr97 in strand G were replaced with Cys residues, generating #4 V2C/T97C/C214A with a Cys2-Cys97 disulfide bond that cross-links strands A and G of different protomers. The #4 V2C/T97C/C214A tetramer did not dissociate into monomers at low protein concentration (6 μM); however, some of the tetramers were converted to monomers by disulfide bond reduction. Two-dimensional free energy profile analysis for the tetramerization of two 3D-DS dimers was performed by molecular dynamics simulation. These results show that disulfide bond introduction is useful for controlling the dimerization/dissociation of the variable region through 3D-DS.
Effect of azelastine on the down regulation of beta-adrenoceptors in guinea pig lung.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

The new antiallergic drug azelastine (E-0659, Azeptin; CAS 58581-89-8) is used in the treatment of rhinitis and bronchial asthma. In the present study, the effect of azelastine on the regulation of the beta-adrenoceptors and the down regulation of beta-adrenoceptors by terbutaline, a beta-agonist, was investigated using guinea pig lungs. Guinea pigs were divided into four groups; (1) the control (saline-treated) group, (2) the terbutaline-treated group, (3) the azelastine-treated group, (4) terbutaline plus azelastine-treated group. Guinea pigs intramuscularly injected with each agent three times a day for successive 7 days. In the terbutaline-treated group, a 26% reduction in the number of beta-adrenoceptors compared with those of the control group was observed. In the azelastine-treated group, the number of beta-adrenoceptors increased by 24% compared with those of the control group. The number of the beta-adrenoceptors in the terbutaline plus azelastine-treated group was significantly increased compared with that of the terbutaline-treated group. These results suggest that azelastine may prevent the down regulation observed during beta-agonist administration by increasing the number of beta-adrenoceptors.
