Waller Creek Local Government Corporation: July 2016 Progress Report
No full textThe Waller Creek District was established to pursue design excellence, environmental integrity, and economic development. Such an effort requires
the unique partnership of the City of Austin, Waller Creek Conservancy, and Local Government Corporation (LGC) to strategically plan, coordinate, and
deliver projects needed to make the District vision a reality. This monumental effort involves public and private partnerships to navigate the challenges
of funding, property acquisition, utility coordination, and creation of signature destination reaches along Waller Creek.Waller Creek Working Grou

AHC Interview with Lore Lizbeth Waller
No full textLore Lizbeth Waller, 2003The photographer Lore Lizbeth Waller was born in 1918 in Vienna, Austria. She attended the prestigious “Schwarzwaldschule” and studied photography in Vienna. After the Anschluss to Nazi Germany in 1938 Lore moved with her mother and younger sister to their relatives in Czechoslowakia. With the help of her mother’s friend she was able to obtain a permit as a domestic servant in England. She left for England in March of 1939. After the war she worked for the Civil Censorship Division (CCD) in post-war Germany and got a position as a photographer for “Stars and Stripes”. In 1952 she moved with her husband to the United States. The author lives in California.Austrian Heritage CollectionSee also Lore Waller's memoirs "View from a Distance" in the LBI library (DS 135 A93 W35 1993
Bilateral and unilateral arm training improve motor function through differing neuroplastic mechanisms: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:
This randomized controlled trial tests the efficacy of bilateral arm training with rhythmic auditory cueing (BATRAC) versus dose-matched therapeutic exercises (DMTEs) on upper-extremity (UE) function in stroke survivors and uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine effects on cortical reorganization.
METHODS:
A total of 111 adults with chronic UE paresis were randomized to 6 weeks (3×/week) of BATRAC or DMTE. Primary end points of UE assessments of Fugl-Meyer UE Test (FM) and modified Wolf Motor Function Test Time (WT) were performed 6 weeks prior to and at baseline, after training, and 4 months later. Pretraining and posttraining, fMRI for UE movement was evaluated in 17 BATRAC and 21 DMTE participants.
RESULTS:
The improvements in UE function (BATRAC: FM Δ = 1.1 + 0.5, P = .03; WT Δ = -2.6 + 0.8, P < .00; DMTE: FM Δ = 1.9 + 0.4, P < .00; WT Δ = -1.6 + 0.7; P = .04) were comparable between groups and retained after 4 months. Satisfaction was higher after BATRAC than DMTE (P = .003). BATRAC led to significantly higher increase in activation in ipsilesional precentral, anterior cingulate and postcentral gyri, and supplementary motor area and contralesional superior frontal gyrus (P < .05). Activation change in the latter was correlated with improvement in the WMFT (P = .01).
CONCLUSIONS:
BATRAC is not superior to DMTE, but both rehabilitation programs durably improve motor function for individuals with chronic UE hemiparesis and with varied deficit severity. Adaptations in brain activation are greater after BATRAC than DMTE, suggesting that given similar benefits to motor function, these therapies operate through different mechanisms

Open Access for the Medical Librarian
No full textThe most important aspects of open access for the medical librarian are presented. Reasons for open access include access to research information, access to taxpayer-funded research, facilitation of evidence-based medicine, equity of access, promotion of author control, and controlling library costs. The two primary approaches to open access, via author self-archiving and open access publishing, are presented. Key open access policy developments are highlighted. Many of the major policy initiatives of the moment are from the research funders. From the researcher funders' point of view, open access means more research impact, more real-world impact when professionals can access the literature, and value is illustrated to the taxpayer, building support for further research funding. The world's largest medical research funders, including the U.S. National Institute of Health and the Wellcome Trust, have public access policies, and many more policies are in development. For example, two weeks ago the Federal Research Public Access Act was introduced in the U.S. Senate. One of the essential elements of open access policy is ensuring that researchers are required, not requested, to deposit works. In Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research has a policy in development called Access to Products of Research; public comments are due May 15, 2006. The dramatic growth of open access - over 2,220 journals in DOAJ, over 7.3 million items in an OAIster search - is discussed, as is the idea of new roles for librarians in an open access environment

Print journal holdings in two Canadian consortial projects
No full textThe Canadian university library members of two consortial e-journal arrangements were surveyed to determine how many of the corresponding print journals had been cancelled as a result of participation in the online packages. The survey results indicated that the number of current print subscriptions held by the libraries had notably decreased. This paper discusses this loss of print and presents two options, with examples, for dealing with the archiving of print journals, Distributed Print Archiving and Back-up Repositories. The question of whether anything really needs to be done is also addressed
