3C: Hatching a Library Program: Chick hatching at the Merritt Library
No full textIn spring 2019, the Merritt Library hosted our first chick hatching program and we would love to share our successful experience. This session will be designed to help other branches determine if this could be a good fit for their community and learn from our first experience.
Ros Duclos and Meg Gregory will be presenting on the chick hatching program including how it started, why it worked, what we learned, and where we’re going from here. Ros will start by explaining the nature of chickens and chick hatching as well as how the conversation started. From there, Meg will discuss the details and preparation needed to ensure the program’s success in a library setting. We\u27ll discuss various aspects of the program such as preparing social media posts and connecting this program to existing ones. We learned a lot and there were some surprises. For example, patrons were so excited to meet and cuddle the chicks that we found it necessary to enforce afternoon naptime for the fluffy youngsters. From the success of this program, we are now planning a library Giving Garden that will share the same focus on understanding and engaging with nature, something we know is being lost in communities of all sizes.
Chick hatching worked in Merritt because it was a great match to our community members. We would love to share our experience and lead an activity to encourage others to find something unique for their community
Mobile Encryption Gateway (MEG) for Email Encryption
No full textEmail cryptography applications often suffer from major problems that prevent their widespread implementation. MEG, or the Mobile Encryption Gateway aims to fix the issues associated with email encryption by ensuring that encryption is easy to perform while still maintaining data security. MEG performs automatic decryption and encryption of all emails using PGP. Users do not need to understand the internal workings of the encryption process to use the application. MEG is meant to be email-client-agnostic, enabling users to employ virtually any email service to send messages. Encryption actions are performed on the user’s mobile device, which means their keys and data remain personal. MEG can also tackle network effect problems by inviting non-users to join. Most importantly, MEG uses end-to-end encryption, which ensures that all aspects of the encrypted information remains private. As a result, we are hopeful that MEG will finally solve the problem of practical email encryption
Positron timing and detection in the MEG experiment
No full textHere the high timing resolution positron detector designed to be used in the MEG experiment is described. Several technical challenges have been faced to obtain the unprecedented goal resolution of 100 ps FWHM for positrons to be detected in the MEG experiment. Also an overview on past experiments is proposed. The key role of the MEG experiment in unveiling New Physics phenomena is briefly stressed. © owned by the author
Flexible head-casts for high spatial precision MEG.
No full textBACKGROUND: In combination with magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data, accurate knowledge of the brain's structure and location provide a principled way of reconstructing neural activity with high temporal resolution. However, measuring the brain's location is compromised by head movement during scanning, and by fiducial-based co-registration with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. The uncertainty from these two factors introduces errors into the forward model and limit the spatial resolution of the data. NEW METHOD: We present a method for stabilizing and reliably repositioning the head during scanning, and for co-registering MRI and MEG data with low error. RESULTS: Using this new flexible and comfortable subject-specific head-cast prototype, we find within-session movements of <0.25mm and between-session repositioning errors around 1mm. COMPARISON WITH EXISTING METHOD(S): This method is an improvement over existing methods for stabilizing the head or correcting for location shifts on- or off-line, which still introduce approximately 5mm of uncertainty at best (Adjamian et al., 2004; Stolk et al., 2013; Whalen et al., 2008). Further, the head-cast design presented here is more comfortable, safer, and easier to use than the earlier 3D printed prototype, and give slightly lower co-registration errors (Troebinger et al., 2014b). CONCLUSIONS: We provide an empirical example of how these head-casts impact on source level reproducibility. Employment of the individual flexible head-casts for MEG recordings provide a reliable method of safely stabilizing the head during MEG recordings, and for co-registering MRI anatomical images to MEG functional data

MEG time-frequency analyses for pre- and post-surgical evaluation of patients with epileptic rhythmic fast activity
No full textPurpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of surgery for epilepsy, we analyzed rhythmic fast activity by magnetoencephalography (MEG) before and after surgery using time-frequency analysis. To assess reliability, the results obtained by pre-surgical MEG and intraoperative electrocorticography were compared. Methods: Four children with symptomatic localization-related epilepsy caused by circumscribed cortical lesion were examined in the present study using 204 channel helmet-shaped MEG with a sampling rate of 600 Hz. One patient had dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumor (DNT) and three patients had focal cortical dysplasia (FCD). Aberrant areas were superimposed, to reconstruct 3-D MRI images, and illustrated as moving images. Results: In three patients, short-time Fourier transform (STFT) analyses of MEG showed rhythmic activities just above the lesion with FCD and in the vicinity of DNT. In one patient with FCD in the medial temporal lobe, rhythmic activity appeared in the ipsilateral frontal lobe and temporal lateral aspect. These findings correlate well with the results obtained by intraoperative electrocorticography. After the surgery, three patients were relieved of their seizures, and the area of rhythmic MEG activity disappeared or become smaller. One patient had residual rhythmic MEG activity, and she suffered from seizure relapse. Conclusion: Time-frequency analyses using STFT successfully depicted MEG rhythmic fast activity, and would provide valuable information for pre- and post-surgical evaluations to define surgical strategies for patients with epilepsy
