Interview of turfgrass expert Dr. James Beard : February 26, 2003
No full textGift of Keith Widder.Turfgrass expert Dr. James Beard explains how and why he decided to specialize in turfgrass mangement. Beard describes numerous aspects of managing turfgrass and grasslands for parks, sports, and conservation, suitable types of turfgrass for various climates, and how climate change affects turgrass management. He talks about teaching and researching at Michigan State University and how the program has grown. Beard recounts the contributions of Michigan Agricultural College botanist W.J. Beal to the field of turfgrass research. Beard is interviewed by Michigan historian and author Keith Widder solidifying MSU as the strongest public repository of turfgrass literature in the world

Digital Photos, Embedded Metadata and Personal Privacy
No full textThe topic of personal privacy concerns of how corporations utilize personal data are examined in the context of personal digital archiving. Most modern devices that capture audio, video and still images automatically embed a significant amount of personally identifiable information. There are constructive uses for this embedded metadata. However, individuals who use online services to curate their collections may not be aware this data exists, and thus may not able to give informed consent about its use.This is the Accepted Manuscript (AM), post-peer review
The eBethArké Syriac digital library: a case study
No full textThe eBetharké Syriac Digital Library Portal is a collaborative effort between the libraries at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; and the Beth Mardutho Syriac Institute, a traditional library of texts; to create a specialized digital library collection online. This digital library features content in and relating to Syriac, an Aramaic dialect spoken in the 1st century A.D. and for which a great deal of historically significant documents were written during the period. This task required effort and research on multiple fronts, including software development; collaboration on technical, interpersonal, and policy-based levels; and in overcoming challenges related to the predominant computing platforms installed and in use by potential users of this digital library. This collaboration provided significant new challenges and learning experiences among the staff who worked on this project and provides a base upon which our digital library platforms can diversify and be more culturally aware.Peer reviewe

Investigating the variability of low-mass active galactic nuclei in the X-ray, UV, and optical regimes.
No full textActive galactic nuclei (AGN) display variability in their emission of radiation that can be used to probe the geometry and physical processes that drive them. In this thesis I examine the variability found in the emissions of X-ray, UV, and Optical radiation from AGN to constrain the properties of these extreme systems. To begin with I present optical interband time lags of the low-mass low-accretion rate AGN NGC 4395 using multiwaveband Liverpool Telescope and HiPERCAM Gran Telescopio Canarias data. The lags found here are consistent with X-ray reprocessing and suggest the first ever detection of the edge of the accretion disc in an AGN. I then present a study of X-ray/UV observations taken from XMM-Newton with simultaneous ground-based optical observations to measure the X-ray/UV/Optical lags of NGC 4395. These support the previous observations and gather further evidence for the existence of a truncated accretion disc in this object. Next I examine the long-term optical power spectrum of NGC 4395 using multiple light curves observed across different timescales. In addition I use simulation techniques to extend the previous X-ray observations and use reverberation modelling to create synthetic optical light curves from these. Comparison of the model fits of the data and the simulations suggest the existence of a secondary long-term source of variability in addition to X-ray reprocessing. Finally I investigate the X-ray to UV time lags of a different object, NGC 4593, using simultaneous XMM-Newton, Swift, and AstroSat observations. Here I find evidence of timescale-dependent lags. When filtered for short timescales the lags are consistent with X-ray reprocessing, but this suggests other long-term processes also exist within the object. I also note the presence of previously described contributions from the Broad Line Region’s Balmer and Paschen continua
