Library Automation : Core Concepts and Practical Systems Analysis
No full textRecent advances in technology such as cloud computing, recent industry standards such as RFID, bibliographic standards like RDA and BIBFRAME, the increased adoption of open source integrated library systems (ILS), and continued shift in users' expectations have increased the complexity of the decision regarding ILS for all types of libraries.In a complete re-envisioning of the previous edition, Automating Media Centers and Small Libraries: A Microcomputer-Based Approach, Dania Bilal conceptualizes library automation in the Library Automation Life Cycle (LALC) that is informed by the systems development lifecycle (SDLC). She explains how the next-generation discovery services supported in the library services platforms (LSPs) provide a single point of access to library content in all types and formats, thereby offering a unified solution to managing library operations. The book covers methods of analyzing user requirements, describes how to structure these requirements in RFPs, and details proprietary and open-source integrated library systems (ILSs) and LSPs for school, public, special, and academic libraries. Up-to-date information is provided about ILS software installation and testing, software and hardware architecture such as single- and multi-tenant SaaS and Paas and IaaS, and usability assessment strategies for evaluating the ILS or LSP. The author concludes by describing what is likely coming next in the library automation arena.xxix, 279 hlm ; 26 c
Optimization and troubleshooting of polymer synthesis for self-assembly of tyrosine-based nanospheres
No full textSynthesis of poly(ethylene glycol)-block-oligo(DTO suberate) -block-poly(ethylene glycol), a tyrosine-based ABA triblock copolymer was conducted in an effort to match specifications of a previous batch of polymer used in to self-assemble into nanospheres for drug delivery in previously published work. Though synthesis was successful and the polymer’s physical and thermal specifications were met, the resulting nanospheres did not meet the size specifications of past samples. Polymer synthesis was optimized both by varying the amount of coupling agent used in the reaction as well as varying the monomeric excess of suberic acid using the Carothers's equation. This work resulted in tunable nanospheres based on polymer molecular weight. Varying of coupling agent was found to produce polymers of different molecular weights albeit in a random fashion. Use of monomeric excess was found to reproducibly produce polymers of varying molecular weights. Additionally nanosphere preparation was also studied to determine whether the use of sucrose during nanosphere self-assembly would result in an increased polymer yield. The use of a sucrose solution during nanosphere preparation was found to cause no improvement in polymer yield and is in fact believed to have the opposite effect.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Dania Karina Agüero Davi
Rezension Anna-Elisabeth Jensen, Freunde und Feinde. Dania Slavica. Südseeland, Lolland-Falster und Møn in der Wikingerzeit und im Hochmittelalter. University Press, Aarhus 2023.
No full textThe book is a German translation of the author's publication "Dania Slavica - Sydsjælland, Lolland-Falster og Møn i vikingetid og tidlig middelalder" from 2022. From around AD 750 to 1250, the three islands Lolland, Falster and Møn were an important buffer zone in the struggles for economic and political control of the western Baltic, and thus also a zone of close contact between Slavic and Scandinavian culture. In a cross-disciplinary approach, the author combines historical sources with analyses of the physical landscape and the archaeological evidence

A Better You
No full textA BETTER YOU Dania Ramos Department of Art + Design, Northeastern Illinois University, Chicago IL, 60625 A Better You is a health and wellness magazine inspired by one woman’s journey navigating the often intimidating and overwhelming world of Health and Fitness. A Better You provides insight(s) into developing life- long habits and practices that positively affect both physical fitness as well as mental health. This collection of information has been assembled by a woman who has endured years of physical and mental pain. A woman who came to understand that pain relief (of both physical and mental ailments) is best achieved through exercise. A woman, who despite the bombardment of unregulated products, prescription drugs, and gimmicky marketing, developed an understanding that shortcuts or quick fixes” are no path to achieve lifelong health and wellness. A Better You features articles, and insights from seasoned fitness professionals, academics, and everyday people. The author of this magazine also gives great consideration to those factors that prevent an individual from realizing their fitness potential. The founder and editor in chief of A Better You is committed to communicating to the public at large: that physical fitness is inextricably linked to mental health and vitality. She makes clear that a lifelong commitment to exercise and an active lifestyle benefits the human condition beyond the cosmetic
The Role of Radiomics in Salivary Gland Imaging: A Systematic Review and Radiomics Quality Assessment
No full textBackground: Radiomics of salivary gland imaging can support clinical decisions in different clinical scenarios, such as tumors, radiation-induced xerostomia and sialadenitis. This review aims to evaluate the methodological quality of radiomics studies on salivary gland imaging. Material and Methods: A systematic search was performed, and the methodological quality was evaluated using the radiomics quality score (RQS). Subgroup analyses according to the first author’s professional role (medical or not medical), journal type (radiological journal or other) and the year of publication (2021 or before) were performed. The correlation of RQS with the number of patients was calculated. Results: Twenty-three articles were included (mean RQS 11.34 ± 3.68). Most studies well-documented the imaging protocol (87%), while neither prospective validations nor cost-effectiveness analyses were performed. None of the included studies provided open-source data. A statistically significant difference in RQS according to the year of publication was found (p = 0.009), with papers published in 2021 having slightly higher RQSs than older ones. No differences according to journal type or the first author’s professional role were demonstrated. A moderate relationship between the overall RQS and the number of patients was found. Conclusions: Radiomics application in salivary gland imaging is increasing. Although its current clinical applicability can be affected by the somewhat inadequate quality of the papers, a significant improvement in radiomics methodologies has been demonstrated in the last year
