E-books: selecting, work flows, and discovering
No full textFor many libraries e-books are now the preferred format in a wide variety of subject areas. In some cases, it is still a challenge to streamline their selection and acquisition since e-books and print books are rarely released simultaneously and there is typically scant information available on forthcoming e-books. In this session, Emily Asch from Saint Catherine University, and David Farrow from Coutts Information Services will talk about strategies for managing e-book acquisitions. Topics discussed will include a review of available purchasing models for individual libraries and consortia, coordinating print and e-book coverage, creating efficient work flows, and making e-books easily discoverable
Performance Analysis of Farrow Structure Based FBMC-OQAM System
No full textAbstractFarrow structure is used in the efficient implementation of high order filters. The number of unknown coefficients is much less in Farrow structure based implementation, in comparison with the direct form implementation of FIR filters. Some predefined multipliers can also be used in this method. Since they are known apriori they will not add much to the complexity of the system. It is seen that a relatively strong correlation exists among the adjacent impulse response coefficients of the frequency selective filters. This fact is exploited in the Farrow structure to reduce the number of multipliers required for the implementation of desired filter. And these Farrow coefficients are used for representing the polyphase components of the desired filter. This Farrow structure based prototype filter is used for implementing an FBMC-OQAM system. BER performance of Farrow structure based FBMC-OQAM system is studied and found comparable with that of existing FBMC-OQAM system
A projection specific logic to sampling visual inputs in mouse superior colliculus
No full textUsing sensory information to trigger different behaviors relies on circuits that pass through brain regions. The rules by which parallel inputs are routed to downstream targets are poorly understood. The superior colliculus mediates a set of innate behaviors, receiving input from >30 retinal ganglion cell types and projecting to behaviorally important targets including the pulvinar and parabigeminal nucleus. Combining transsynaptic circuit tracing with in vivo and ex vivo electrophysiological recordings, we observed a projection-specific logic where each collicular output pathway sampled a distinct set of retinal inputs. Neurons projecting to the pulvinar or the parabigeminal nucleus showed strongly biased sampling from four cell types each, while six others innervated both pathways. The visual response properties of retinal ganglion cells correlated well with those of their disynaptic targets. These findings open the possibility that projection-specific sampling of retinal inputs forms a basis for the selective triggering of behaviors by the superior colliculus.sponsorship: Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek G094616N Karl FarrowFP7 People: Marie-Curie Actions 631909 Karl FarrowH2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions [PEGASUS]2 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship 12S7917N Katja ReinhardChina Scholarship Council Chen Li (Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek|G094616N, FP7 People: Marie-Curie Actions|631909, H2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions|12S7917N, China Scholarship Council)status: Publishe

Seward's folly: a new look at the Alaska Purchase
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.The Alaska Purchase--denounced at the time as 'Seward's Folly' but now seen as a masterstroke--is well known in American history. But few know the rest of the story. Lee Farrow offers a detailed account of just what the Alaska Purchase was, how it came about, its impact at the time, and more. Farrow shows why both America and Russia had plenty of good reasons to want the sale to occur, including Russia's desire to let go of an unprofitable, hard-to-manage colony and the belief in the United States that securing Alaska could help the nation gain control of British Columbia and generate closer trade ties with Asia . Farrow also delves into the implications of the deal for foreign policy and international diplomacy far beyond Russia and the United States at a moment when the global balance of power was in question.--Provided by publisher.Some mysterious sympathy: the foundations of friendship -- Evident advantages: origins and objectives -- Seward's chimerical project: public reaction and ratification -- No longer Russian America: taking possession of Alaska -- Paying for the "new national ice-house": approval and appropriation -- Very uneasy and vexed: international reactions to the purchase -- That snow-bound wilderness: from treaty to territory

Distribution of Salmonella serovars in breeding, nursery, and grow-to-finish pigs, and risk factors for shedding in ten farrow-to-finish swine farms in Alberta and Saskatchewan
No full textThe study objectives were to investigate Salmonella prevalence, serovar distribution, and risk factors for shedding in 10 purposively selected farrow-to-finish farms in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Pooled fecal samples from the breeding and growfinish phases and individual fecal samples from breeding, nursery, and grow-finish pigs were cultured for Salmonella; serotyping of isolates was performed. Pig and pen characteristics were recorded for each pig and pen sampled. Overall, 407/1143 (36%) of samples were Salmonella positive; within-farm prevalence ranged from 1% to 79%. Sows, nursery, and grow-finish pigs accounted for 43%, 29%, and 28% of positive samples, respectively. More Salmonella were detected in pooled pen than individual pig samples (P<0.001). Among 418 Salmonella isolates, there were 19 distinct serovars; the most common were S. Derby (28.5%), S. Typhimurium, var. Copenhagen (19.1%), S. Putten (11.8%), S. Infantis (6.8%), and S. Mbandaka (6.1%). Sows were more likely to shed Salmonella than nursery or grow-finisher (OR 2.9, P<0.001) pigs. Pelleted feed (OR 8.2, P<0.001) and nose-to-nose pig contact through pens (OR 2.2, P=0.005) were associated with increased Salmonella prevalence. Significant differences in serovar distribution were detected among production phases. The use of pooled pen samples is recommended as a more efficient means for accurate evaluation of Salmonella status in different phases of pig production. The breeding herd might be an important source of Salmonella persistence within farrow-to-finish farms and should be targeted in control efforts. The latter might also apply to the use of pelleted feed, which remains the most consistently reported significant risk factor for Salmonella shedding in pigs.Accession Number: 20103196664.
