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
A Unified Shell model for Buoyancy-Driven Turbulence
No full textWe construct a unified shell model for stably stratified and convective turbulence. Shell model simulation of stably stratified flow in turbulent regime exhibit Bolgiano-Obukhbov (BO) scaling in which the kinetic energy spectrum varies as . However, simulation of convective turbulence shows Kolmogorov's spectrum. These results are consistent with the direct numerical simulations of Kumar {\em et al.} [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 90}, 023016 (2014)]. We also observe a dual scaling ( and ) for a limited range of parameters in stably stratified flow
Incorporating Culinary Medicine into a First Year Science Course
No full textCulinary medicine uses an evidence-based approach to translate nutrition research into practical use in order to bring medicine and cooking together 1 Medical schools are bringing in culinary medicine programs so that prehealth students can relate to their patients in the clinical setting when sharing necessary dietary changes Obesity is one of the leading risk factors for early death – From 1990 to 2017, globally, deaths due to obesity has increased by 78%2 By introducing culinary medicine at the undergraduate level into a first year course, we hope to track the students in the course throughout their four years at Calvin to see if there has been any changes in lifestyle as a result of completion of the cours

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.

Microstructural abnormalities in language and limbic pathways in orphanage-reared children: A diffusion tensor imaging study
No full textThis study utilized diffusion tensor imaging fiber tractography to examine the miscrostructural integrity of limbic and paralimbic white matter tracts in 36 children (age M = 124 months) with histories of early deprivation, raised from birth in orphanages and subsequently adopted into the United States, compared to 16 age-matched typically developing children. We found increased mean diffusivity bilaterally in the arcuate fasciculus and increased mean diffusivity and reduced fractional anisotropy bilaterally in the uncinate fasciculus and cingulum in children with early deprivation. Microstructural integrity of the left arcuate fasciculus and right cingulum was related to language and behavioral functioning, respectively. White matter abnormalities were also associated with length of deprivation and time in the adoptive home. Our findings suggest that white matter pathways, connecting limbic and paralimbic brain regions is abnormal in children with histories of early deprivation, with some pathways appearing more susceptible to early deprivation than others. © The Author(s) 2013
