    Open Access to Peer-Reviewed Research through Author/Institution Self-Archiving: Maximizing Research Impact by Maximizing Online Access

    No full text
    All refereed journals will soon be available online; most of them already are. This means that anyone will be able to access them from any networked desk-top. The literature will all be interconnected by citation, author, and keyword/subject links, allowing for unheard-of power and ease of access and navigability. Successive drafts of pre-refereeing preprints will be linked to the official refereed draft, as well as to any subsequent corrections, revisions, updates, comments, responses, and underlying empirical databases, all enhancing the self-correctiveness, interactivity and productivity of scholarly and scientific research and communication in remarkable new ways. New scientometric indicators of digital impact are also emerging <http://opcit.eprints.org> to chart the online course of knowledge. But there is still one last frontier to cross before science reaches the optimal and the inevitable: Just as there is no longer any need for research or researchers to be constrained by the access-blocking restrictions of paper distribution, there is no longer any need to be constrained by the impact-blocking financial fire-walls of Subscription/Site-License/Pay-Per-View (S/L/P) tolls for this give-away literature. Its author/researchers have always donated their research reports for free (and its referee/researchers have refereed for free), with the sole goal of maximizing their impact on subsequent research (by accessing the eyes and minds of fellow-researchers, present and future) and hence on society. Generic (OAi-compliant) software is now available free so that institutions can immediately create Eprint Archives in which their authors can self-archive all their refereed papers for free for all forever <http://www.eprints.org/>. These interoperable Open Archives <http://www.openarchives.org> will then be harvested into global, jointly searchable "virtual archives" (e.g., <http://arc.cs.odu.edu/>). "Scholarly Skywriting" in this PostGutenberg Galaxy will be dramatically (and measurably) more interactive and productive, spawning its own new digital metrics of productivity and impact, allowing for an online "embryology of knowledge.

    A atribuição autoral (AA) busca identificar um autor de texto a partir de um conjunto de autores conhecidos. Autores deixam rastros em seus textos e é possível identificar características sociolinguísticas baseadas no estilos de escrita refletidos no texto destes autores. A atribuição autoral está cada vez mais demonstrando importância para diversas atividades sociais, em especial para a análise forense. Os trabalhos envolvendo AA demonstram resultados modestos e motivam a exploração de diferentes técnicas para melhorar a acurácia dos modelos atuais. A partir desses pontos, o presente trabalho apresenta uma proposta de pesquisa em nível de mestrado no campo de processamento de língua natural (PLN), com ênfase em AA, com o objetivo geral de melhorar o desempenho de classificadores de atribuição autoral utilizando técnicas de caracterização autoral (CA)Author attribution (AA) seeks to identify a text author from a set of known authors. Authors leave traces in their texts and it is possible to identify sociolinguistic characteristics based on the writing styles reflected in the text of these authors. Author attribution is increasingly showing importance for various social activities, especially forensic analysis. Studies involving AA show modest results and motivate the exploration of different techniques to improve the accuracy of current models. From these perspective, this project presents a master\'s level research proposal in the field of natural language processing (NLP), with an emphasis in AA, with the general objective of improving the performance of AA classifiers using author profiling technique

    (Ar) عن لقب aA n xA، «عظيم قاعة xA» الخاص بـ«باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» في مصر الصاوية حمل الموظف الكبير المعروف «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» الذي كان يعيش في نهاية العصر الصاوي حمل لقب aA n #A أي «عظيم قاعة xA ». وظهرت كلمة xA لأول مرة في الأسرة السادسة، وكانت تشير إلى «قاعة ذات أعمدة». ويشير قاموس برلين أيضًا إلى حدوث هذه الكلمة في الدولة القديمة، والتي تعني «قاعة» أو «قاعة الملك». وقد يشير مخصص هذه الكلمة ( ) إلى غرفة أو مكتب للأنشطة الرسمية. ولقب aA n xA الخاص بـ «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» هو لقب عام ولا يحدد أية صلة بمنصب الوزير أو الملك. ولا تُعرف دلالة لقب aA n xA الخاص بـ «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» بالضبط في تلك الفترة. وعلاوة على ذلك، لا نعرف مكانة هذه الرتبة أو وظيفة حاملها في ذلك الوقت. ونظرًا لأن وظيفة قاعةxA- كانت مرتبطة بالإدارة واستقبال الجمهور، فقد تكون قاعة xA ذات صلة بالملك؛ لأن جميع ألقاب «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» مرتبطة بطريقة أو بأخرى بالبلاط الملكي. ويظهر كل هذا أن «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» كانت له علاقات وثيقة ولعب أدوارًا مهمة في القصر الملكي، ربما كان الملك هو أبريس. وإذا كان الأمر كذلك، فربما كان «باي إف إتشاو إم عاوي نيث» مديرًا لقاعة xA لهذا الملك، وربما كان مسؤولاً عن جميع اتصالاتها الخارجية وعن نظامها وأمنها كما كانت هذه الأمور ضمن واجبات الوزير في أوائل عصر الدولة الحديثة. [En] The famous Late Saite high official Payeftjauemawyneith held the title aA n xA «the great one of the xA-hall». The word xA appeared for the first time in the Sixth Dynasty, designating a «columned hall». The Wb also refers to the occurrence of this word in the Old Kingdom, meaning «hall» or «the king’s hall». The determinative of this word ( ) may refer to a room or an office for official activities. The title aA n xA of Payeftjauemawyneith is generic and does not specify any connections with the positions of the king or the vizier. The significance of Payeftjauemawyneith’s title aA n xA is not exactly known at the period. We did not know this rank status or the function of its holder at the time. Since the function of the xA-hall was related to the administration and receiving audience, it might be the xA-hall of the king because all of Payeftjauemawyneith’s titles were related in one way or another to the royal realm. All these show that Payeftjauemawyneith had close connections and played important roles in the royal palace, probably of Apries. Therefore, Payeftjauemawyneith might have functioned as director of this xA-hall of this king and be responsible for all of its external contacts and its order and security as these fell under the duties of the vizier in the early New Kingdom

    Author Institution: Division of Pure Physics, National Research Council“Approximately 45 bands of glyoxal in the region 4000-4660 {\AA} have been photographed in absorption using a 30 ft. Ebert spectrograph with a resolving power of 500,000\sim 500,000 and a dispersion of 1.3 {\AA}/cm. The (0-0) baud near 4550 {\AA}, which WAS studied at a temperature of 50-50^{\circ} C, shows fairly well-resolved J- and K- structure characteristic of a perpendicular hand of a near symmetric top molecule. The rotational and vibrational analysis of the speetrum will be discussed.

This study aimed to evaluate undergraduate students’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding toothbrush contamination and disinfection.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with undergraduates from seven selected universities, including public and private universities. A closed-ended questionnaire containing 24 items was distributed to A total of 490 undergraduate students.Results: The study showed that (28.6%, n=140) had knowledge about toothbrush cleaning and disinfection. A total of (350, n=71.4%) needed to gain knowledge about toothbrush cleaning and disinfection. Fifty-two percent of the students feel that bacteria are the primary mode of toothbrush contamination. Many of the students had different ways of disinfecting toothbrushes, including, boiling a small pot of normal water (51.4%, n=252), chemical agent (31.8%, n=156), ultraviolet sanitizer (0.2%, n=4), and microwave radiation (0.2%, n=1) does not know (16.1%, n=79). Most students (76.9%, n=377) felt that toothbrush disinfection was necessary.Conclusion: Fewer students have sufficient knowledge about toothbrush contamination and practice disinfection methods, whereas most students need to be made aware of the contamination of toothbrushes and the use of disinfectant methods.Keywords: knowledge, practice, toothbrush, infection, contaminatio

A219, 89 (1953).Author Institution: Space Physics Laboratory, Aerospace Corporation“The absorption of ultraviolet radiation by sodium vapor, and the associated ionization, has been investigated from 1040{\AA} to 3500{\AA} using a two-metre McPherson normal incidence spectrometer and an absorption chamfer of the type described by Ditchburn and Hudson.1Hudson.^{1} The atomic cross section at the series limit (2412 {\AA}) was found to be 11.2±1.0×1020cm211.2 \pm 1.0 \times 10^{-20} cm^{2}, in good agreement with the previous result obtained by Ditchburn, Jutsum and Marr.2Marr.^{2} The atomic cross section decreases to a minimum at 1900{\AA} and then increases again towards shorter wavelengths. Continuous molecular absorption was observed from 3500{\AA} to 1700{\AA} and ion chamber measurement indicate that this absorption is due to an ionization continuum. Ion current peaks were also seen between 2413{\AA} and 3500{\AA} at wavelengths corresponding to the series absorption lines of the sodium atom. Curves will be presented showing the variation with wavelength of both the atomic cross section and the relative molecular cross section.

    Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, Columbia University; Laboratoire de Photophysique, Moleculaire C.N.R.S. University of Paris-Sud; Department of Chemistry, Columbia UniversityFrom an analysts of the rotationally resolved fluorescence of NO2NO_{2} excited by a narrow band (0.03 {\AA}) tunable dye laser, 1,2^{1,2} quantum numbers have been assigned to 80 transitions in the 6l25 {\AA} region. Three band origins are observed in a 20 {\AA} interval, two of which have also been seen in a nozzle beam seeded with NO2.3NO_{2}{.^{3}} A rotational analysis of the 6125 {\AA} and 6127 {\AA} bands is reported, while the small number of transitions assigned to the 6117 {\AA} band presently prevents analysis. Under collision-free conditions (1\leq 1 mTorr) the ``average” radiative lifetimes of the 6117 {\AA} band and the 6125 {\AA} band are 58±6μ58 \pm 6 \mu sec and 73±7μ73 \pm 7 \mu sec, respectively. Comments are made concerning the vibrational overlap in this region
