Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
Full text linkThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
Serial policy formulation and implementation in Nigeria University Libraries
Full text linkThe paper discusses the need and importance of a serial policy statement formulation and
implementation as a means of providing balanced, relevant an
academic exercise particularly in the area of teaching and research work. The paper presents a sample serial policy statement for adoption by Nigerian University Libraries and other libraries, and then concludes with few recommendations
User, Author and Professional Indexing in Context: An Exploration of Tagging Practices on CiteULike
Full text linkThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and intermediaries. User, author and intermediary keywords were collected from journal articles tagged on CiteULike and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the context of keywords from the three groups
H.G. Wells In The Reception of E.I. Zamyatin
Full text linkThe article deals with the peculiarities of E.I. Zamyatin's perception of H. Wells' work. Zamyatin considered H. G. Wells as his creative predecessor, who had a great influence on the formation of the fantastic novel as a genre combining acute plot with social analysis of the consequences of scientific and technical development. The author of the novel ‘We’ notes the anti-utopianism of many of H.G. Wells' novels and connects it with the opposition “static utopia - dynamism of anti-utopia”. Zamyatin's attitude to the realistic work of Wells is more restrained. Wells is perceived by Zamyatin as a deeply national writer, aware of his national identity, rooted in the Dickensian tradition and reflecting in his work the peculiarities of the English mentality. The created myth of the English writer becomes at the same time a projection of Zamyatin's own aesthetic programme of the early 1920s, developed in other articles and lectures of the writer of this period
The impact and use of TEEAL (The Essential Electronic Agricultural Library) on researchers of agriculture, Ahmadu Bello University Samaru, Zaria
No full textThe primary target of TEEAL in Ahmadu Bello University(ABU) is the researcher at the
faculty of Agriculture and the institute for Agriculture research. After years of its
introduction, an evaluation of its impact has become necessary. Thus five research
questions were drawn for that purpose. They are:
(1), Are you aware of the TEEAL cd Rom database in this institution?
(2), Is TEEAL solution to the problem of qualitative research in your field?
(3), Has TEEAL cd Rom database enabled you access to world’s scholarly publishing?
(4), What impact has the full text of TEEAL made on your research work?
(5), Is TEEAL cd Rom database user friendly?
(6), What is your assessment of TEEAL?
These questions were put in form of a questionnaire survey supplemented by one interview
to find the required information. From the response some analyses were made, some
recommendations were put forward, and conclusions drawn

Identification of a text author by the letter frequency empirical distribution
No full textAbstract:
The distances distributions between empirical triplet distributions are investigated. The accuracy estimation of these distributions is obtained depending on the length of the text. The method of author identification is examined on the broad class of literature texts. The stabilization length of triplet distributions is approximately equal to one half of the text without dependence on author and text length. The example of cluster method is given for E.I. Roerich philosophical texts.Note:

Modeling of the Ceramics Structure for the Finite Element Analysis
No full textAbstractCeramic materials are extensively used for impact protection systems. The finite element method is generally used for strength calculation of such materials. As ceramics is a heterogeneous material, its characteristics depend significantly both on characteristics of its components, and on the material structure as a whole. Therein, micro-modeling of ceramics structures is the object of a large number of studies. The publications review shows that modeling of pores in ceramic materials is realized as removal of groups of finite elements. Pores are commonly modeled as spheres. In addition, ceramics grains are modeled as spherical elements. It is clear that such approaches do not enable obtaining a description of the real structure of ceramics. In this regard, author tries to describe the ceramics structure as a set of one or several phases and a variety of pores in a homogeneous material of the remaining part of the ceramic plate. For the purpose of universality ceramics grains and pores are modeled as six-sided subareas. Sides of these subareas may have curvilinear forms, so intersections and modifications of curved surfaces provide a way to get subareas with fewer sides than initial subareas. For the initial version, an equation of sphere is chosen to describe these surfaces. Scaling of subareas and their location within the ceramic plate is executed using random variables. The obtained mathematical model of a ceramic plate is used for finite element meshing.Preliminary calculation with ANSYS/LS-DYNA has shown that quality of 8-node finite element mesh generated by the considered method is sufficient to such FEA programs
