Bibliographics for the 983 eprints in the live archives of E-LIS : trends and status report up to 7th July 2004, based on author-self-archiving metadata
No full textThe priority for ideas and philosophy related to "Network Theory" have been traced back and documented by Braun(2004),and credit goes to Karinthy(1929).The IT has empowered to realise it, as the most practical phenomena and it is no more a humour. The OAI (Open Archives Initiatives)and ACIS (Academic Contributor Information System)are progressive in the direction ,which may lead to realise the "Collective Genius" at global level. Focus of present study is on Author-Self-Archiving (A-S-A)Metadata of the 983 Eprints in the Live Archives of the E-LIS (EPrints of Library and Information Science),which were approved till 7th July 2004.The A-S-A Metadata was used for librametric analysis. Self-explanatory bibliographics are illustrated.The highlights include: Conference papers (34%); highest approval, June 2004 (28%); published archives (76%);not refereed (52%); not in public domain (60%); highest self-archiving-author (De Robbio, Antonella).The Nos. of EPrints having single JITA domain specifications were: Theoretical and general aspects of libraries and information(27); Information use and sociology of information(80);Users,literacy and reading(13);Libraries as physical collections(30);Publishing and legal issues(57);Management(13);Industry, profession and education(36);Information sources, supports, channels(113) ; Information treatment for information services, Information functions and techniques (101); Technical services libraries, archives and museums(25); Housing technologies(1); Information technology and library technology(92); and Inter-domainery (395) i.e. having specifications of two or more than two JITA classes

Female abdominal cavity densely set with minute setae, distally (covered by telson) with patches of longer setae. Vulva covered with subhemispherical hard cap laterally bordered by smooth protuberance, triangular knob mesially. Etymology. From the Latin, arabica for the locality of the type specimens, the Arabian Sea. Remarks. Mursia arabica n. sp. shares with M. bicristimana and M. buwaya Galil & Takeda, 2004, a prominent, keel-like ridge on the outer surface of the palm and the shape of the second male gonopod. The new species differs from M. bicristimana in its shorter lateral carapace spines and the shape of the trilobate carina on second male abdominal somite. Mursia arabica n. sp. differs from M. buwaya additionally in the sculpture on the external surface of the palm. The photograph of a male specimen by Spiridonov & Apel (2007: 2864, figs. 5, 7a; SMF 22942) from the Gulf of Aden, assigned to M. bicristimana, compares well with the new species. The material from the western Gulf of Aden of Lloyd (1907) identified as M. bicristimana, may be conspecific with the new species. Loyd’s material, probably deposited in the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, could not be examined. Distribution. Gulf of Aden, Arabian Sea.Published as part of Kumar, Biju A., Kumar, M.

Multivariate Quantitative Representativeness and Constituency Analysis of Ecological Observation Networks
Author: Jitendra (Jitu) Kumar ([email protected]), Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Regional and global ecological research networks, representing coordinated and standardized as well as adhoc networks of observation sites, provide valuable observations necessary for ecological modeling and synthesis studies. Studies conducted across observational networks strive to scale up their results to larger areas, trying to reach conclusions that are valid throughout regional, continental, and even global scales. Network representativeness and constituency can show how well conditions at those locations represent conditions elsewhere within a larger area containing the network and can be used to help scale-up results over larger regions.
Representativeness: Euclidean distance between two sites plotted in multivariate environmental space can be used as an inverse measure of multivariate similarity to quantify representativeness. Close sites in environmental space have a similar combination of environmental factors, and therefore are highly representative of each other.
Constituency: For any site in the network, its Constituency represent all locations that are best represented by the multivariate environmental drivers at that site.

Ankita M. Kumar, Oral History Interview, 2023
No full textAnkita M. Kumar is a journalist, analyst, and product manager. During COVID, she covered several high-profile investigative stories on the pandemic in India for Deutsche Welle, Germany\u27s international broadcaster. In 2020, she received a grant from the National Geographic Society\u27s COVID-19 emergency fund to complete a written report on equal access to health care for women in the current Gurugram\u27s urban slums. Kumar was relocated to the United States in 2021, and graduated with a master\u27s degree from Northwestern University, specializing in media innovation and content strategy.
Kumar published several investigative stories that focused on underrepresented groups during the pandemic, including women in Gurugram\u27s slums, cremation urns workers, migrant workers, and diamond polishers. In this interview, she revealed the unique challenges from family, community, and sources she endured to practice journalism as a woman in India. A journalist and a social worker, Kumar advised spending time building a trustworthy relationship with sources and maintaining objectivity in one\u27s journalistic pursuit. She reviewed the difficulties of covering COVID at its peak while enduring the loss of a family member to the virus. The personal loss put her in a unique position to tell other people\u27s suffering with compassion and empathy. She left future generations with lessons of loss and gains.https://commons.emich.edu/cmwj/1005/thumbnail.jp
