Summon changes everything: Looking back from where we wanted to be 3 years ago...
No full textPresented in the session entitled "3 Years of Innovation: How the Summon Service Meets User Expectations and Research Needs".
Join us as we celebrate the 3 year anniversary of the Summon® discovery service with guest librarians demonstrating how the Summon service is meeting their users’ academic research needs. Matthew Reidsma, Web Librarian, Grand Valley State University and David Pattern, Library Systems Manager, University of Huddersfield, both early adopters of the Summon service, will share data from their exciting new research on how users at their respective universities are using the Summon service and the real impact discovery is having on increasing user satisfaction and usage of library resources. The Summon service is now used by more than 30% of ARL libraries and hundreds of the largest research institutions around the world. Come learn what’s making the Summon service the most rapidly adopted new discovery service.
Find out about our ground-breaking Discipline Scoped Searching and custom search widgets which make it easy to integrate the Summon service with LibGuides, research guides, and other Web-environments. Plus we’ll showcase the latest wave of Summon service innovations.
Speakers: David Pattern, University of Huddersfield; Matthew Reidsma, Grand Valley State Universit

Cell Sorting daring Pattern Formation in Dictyostelium
Get PDFFormation of the prestalk-prespore pattern in Dictyostelium was investigated in slugs and submerged clumps of cells. Prestalk and prespore cells were identified by staining with vital dyes, which are shown to be stable cell markers. Dissociated slug cells reaggregate and form slugs that contain a prestalk-prespore pattern indistinguishable from the original pattern. The pattern forms by sorting out of stained prestalk cells from unstained prespore cells. Sorting also occurs in clumps of dissociated slug cells submerged in liquid or agar. A pattern arises in 2 h in which a central core of stained cells is surrounded by a periphery of unstained cells. Sorting appears to be due to differential chemotaxis of stained and unstained cells to cAMP since exogenous cAMP (>10−7 M) reverses the normal direction of sorting-out such that stained cells sort to the periphery of the clumps.
Isolated portions of slugs regenerate a new prestalk-prespore pattern. Posterior isolates regenerate a pattern within 2 h due to sorting of a population of vitally stained ‘anterior-like’ cells present in posteriors. Anterior-like cells do not sort in intact slugs due to the influence of a diffusible inhibitor secreted by the anterior region. During posterior regeneration this signal is absent and anterior-like cells rapidly acquire the ability to sort. Anterior isolates regenerate a staining pattern more slowly than posterior isolates by a process that requires conversion of stained prestalk cells to unstained prespore cells.
The results suggest that pattern formation in Dictyostelium consists of two processes: establishment of appropriate proportions of two cell types and establishment of the pattern itself by a mechanism of sorting-out
Improving gaussian processes classification by spectral data reorganizing
No full textWe improve Gaussian processes (GP) classification by reorganizing the (non-stationary and anisotropic) data to better fit to the isotropic GP kernel. First, the data is partitioned into two parts: along the feature with the highest frequency bandwidth. Secondly, for each part of the data, only the spectrally homogeneous features are chosen and used (the rest discarded) for GP classification. In this way, anisotropy of the data is lessened from the frequency point of view. Tests on synthetic data as well as real datasets show that our approach is effective and outperforms Automatic Relevance Determination (ARD).Hang Zhou and David Sute
Confidence rated boosting algorithm for generic object detection
No full textIn this paper we propose a confidence rated boosting algorithm based on Ada-boost for generic object detection. Confidence rated Ada-boost algorithm has not been applied to generic object detection problem; in that sense our work is novel. We represent images as bag of words, where the words are SIFT descriptors extracted over some interest points. We compare our boosting algorithm to another version of boosting algorithm called Gentle-boost. Our approach generalizes well and performs equal or better than Gentle-boost. We show our results on four categories from the Caltech data sets, in terms of ROC curves.Nayyar A.Zaidi and David Sute
Cult: A Composite Novel
Get PDFCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts
