[ aortic arch data visualization for Data Bloom 2023-24 ]
No full textThis is a data visualization project based on URMC data submitted for the 2023-24 Data Bloom contest at River Campus Libraries.Author's statement: the following visualization depicts the flow patterns of blood within an aortic arch that underwent surgical procedures for the congenital heart defect, Coarctation of the aorta. The simulation employs different colors to illustrate the various velocities as particles of blood move through the arch. Under an IRB (Internal Review Board) approved study, clinical data was supplied by the University of Rochester Medical Center. This data included aortic arch anatomy, heart rates and flow data from cardiac MRI scans, as well as blood pressures from outpatient visits. With this data, we were able to calculate the flow ratios through all the head vessels and descending aorta. Additionally, all simulations were conducted using normal blood parameters for density and viscosity. Flow simulations through the aortic arch was executed using ANSYS Fluent, a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFO) commercial software package. Additionally, the patient-specific geometry was extracted from MRI scans using the program, Slicer.</p

Kenneth Patchen and Art Music
No full textIntroduction: "One may easily find music in the poetry of Kenneth Patchen, for the poet crafted works that lend themselves to performance. If the lyricism of the words -- the prosody of a simple line, spread across a painted page -- fail to remind the reader of song, an evening with recordings of Patchen himself reciting to live Jazz accompaniment will convince the nonbeliever of the inherent, irrepressible musicality of the poet's language.Many musicians, contemporaries and latter-day voices alike, have extracted their own song from works by Patchen. Settings of poetry by the avant-garde Ohioan vary widely in style, genre, and scope; the simplest pairs a singer with a guitar, and the most ambitious calls for a full orchestra with soprano soloist, children's voices, and a choir of at least ninety-six."This document was adapted from a webpage hosted on the Rare Books, Special Collections, and Manuscripts website, before being converted into a static document and uploaded to URRR on 2024-10-09.</p
The Joy of Piracy: Ned Buntline and the Legacy of the Black Avenger of the Spanish Main
No full textPaper submitted to fulfill HIS 252 course, Cultural History of the United States, 1876-Present taught by Professor Joan Rubin, Fall 2011Introduction: "Before there were comic books, there were dime novels. Printed on cheap paper, dime novels brought outrageous genre stories - tales of cowboys, detectives, pirates, soldiers, and damsels in distress - to the American public for little cost. Dime novels steadily grew in popularity throughout the 1800s, but suffered from a gradual decline in quality and popularity in the last quarter of the century. Many of these books were produced in fiction factories - writers and editors collaboratively producing texts, which finally were published under pseudonyms - but a number of individual writers rose to prominence. One such author, Ned Buntline, was particularly well known, and his most famous work, The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main, became the iconic pirate yarn of his age. From a thematic standpoint, Black Avenger is notable for depicting piracy as a temporary release from normal codes of behavior. To understand the lasting influence of this pirate story, especially its intertextual relationship with the works of Mark Twain (e.g., Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn), this paper will explore both the literary techniques and depictions of race, gender, and morality present in dime pirate novels."This document was adapted from a webpage hosted on the Rare Books, Special Collections, and Manuscripts website, before being converted into a static document and uploaded to URRR on 2024-10-08.</p

Titanic
No full textTitanic Dataset (for Machine Learning)The Titanic dataset is a classic and widely used dataset for machine learning and data analysis. It contains information about the passengers of the RMS Titanic, which tragically sank on its maiden voyage on April 15, 1912. The dataset provides details about each passenger, including their demographics, ticket information, and survival status. This dataset is often used to demonstrate and practice various machine learning techniques, particularly classification.This dataset is divided into two: training set & testing set.Dataset Variables:PassengerId: count for each passengerSurvived: 0 = No; 1 = YesName: name of passengerSex: passenger's sexAge: passenger's ageSibSp: number of siblings/spouses abroad the TitanicParch: number of parents/children abroad the TitanicTicket: ticket numberFare: passenger fareCabin: cabin numberEmbarked: port where passenger embarked (C = Cherbourg; Q = Queenstown; S = Southampton)</p
Smart Speaker Command Dataset
No full textThis dataset contains a collection of voice commands for a smart speaker, each beginning with the common wake-word "Hey Alexa." The commands cover a range of tasks such as music control, smart home management, information requests, reminders, shopping, entertainment, and communication. The dataset reflects natural language usage from a diverse group of speakers, capturing various phrasings, inflections, and contexts. It includes contributions from both male and female voices and features speakers with different native languages.If you plan to download this dataset, we would appreciate it very much if you could fill out the Google form at https://forms.gle/dixQ4mkZ4xbXtXRDA. This will help us understand the usage and impacts of this dataset. Your feedback will also help us improve any future extensions of this work.</p
Honing Information Literacy Skills with GenAI: Building a Modular Lesson
No full textGenerative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) tools such as ChatGPT have proliferated throughout the educational landscape faster than many educators can adapt. These emerging trends have made it essential for library users to hone their information literacy skills. In response, the presenters have developed a set of dynamic lessons focused on the intersection between GenAI and information literacy as a means to develop user skills. This session was designed in a ‘plug and play’ format to account for multiple instructional settings, relevant frameworks, and pedagogical methods. The resulting lesson includes three active learning activities, tied to outcomes from ACRL’s information literacy framework. The module was shared via a staff intranet to allow other library staff members to utilize and adapt these activities without needing extensive GenAI expertise. This presentation will discuss the development, philosophy, and implementation of the lesson module, with emphasis on encouraging the wise and productive use of GenAI.Presented on June 12, 2024 at the 2024 Generative AI in Libraries (GAIL) Virtual Conference.To view the video presentation, please click here.</p
