Essor et déclin des télégraphes britanniques en tant que service public
No full textTHE RISE AND FALL OF GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPHY IN BRITAIN Charles R. Perry The first nationalization in England was that of the telegraph. This phenomenon, overlooked for many years by historians, is considered here by the author who analyses the government's arguments in the 1860s. He then reviews a complex and contrasting heritage (the rise and fall): social achievement but financial failure.ESSOR ET DECLIN DES TELEGRAPHES BRITANNIQUES EN TANT QUE SERVICE PUBLIC Charles R. Perry La nationalisation du télégraphe fut la première à intervenir en Angleterre. Ce phénomène, longtemps ignoré des historiens, est repris ici par l'auteur qui analyse d'abord ce que fut dans les années 1 860 l'argument des pouvoirs publics. Il s'attache ensuite au bilan (l'essor et le déclin) d'un héritage complexe et contrasté : une réussite sociale, mais un échec fiscal.Perry Charles R., Albaret Michèle.

A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1
RoMEO Studies 6: Rights metadata for open-archiving
No full textThis is the final study in a series of six emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving) which investigated the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) issues relating to academic author self-archiving of research papers. It reports the results of a survey of 542 academic authors showing the level of protection required for their open-access research papers. It then describes the selection of an appropriate means of expressing those rights through metadata and the resulting choice of Creative Commons licences. Finally it outlines proposals for communicating rights metadata via the Open Archives Initiative’s Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH)

R U Up for the Challenge? A Partnership to Measure Library Impact on Student Learning: Rutgers University Libraries & Ronald E. McNair Post Baccalaureate Degree Achievement Program
No full textRutgers University Libraries seek to support the goal of the Rutgers University Mission Assessment and Alignment Planning system (MAAP) which is "to clarify the contributions of various programs and units to the fulfillment of the Rutgers-New Brunswick undergraduate educational experience mission/goals, and to facilitate and encourage assessment and alignment of outcomes and progress toward those goals." Toward this end, the Libraries have focused on measuring the impact of its instruction program via the McNair Post Baccalaureate Achievement Program (MPBAP). This prestigious program provides a unique opportunity to track cohorts of students over 10 years. The goal is to have these students enroll in doctoral programs. We are seeking to find out: Do students in the Bibliography & Research Techniques library class in the Summer Research Institute of the MPBAP retain and transfer information literacy skills to other courses and academic research as they persist in the MPBAP program? In addition to the assessment instruments already in use by the McNair department, (Graduate Student Profile Progress Report) for long term impact, other instruments are being used by the Libraries: pre-post tests and surveys. This poster will present the assessment methods in place as we begin to track our first cohort (Summer 2015).This project is part of the program “Assessment in Action: Academic Libraries and Student Success” which is undertaken by the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) in partnership with the Association for Institutional Research and the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities. The program, a cornerstone of ACRL's Value of Academic Libraries initiative, is made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services
On quadratic Waring’s problem in totally real number fields

Publisher Copyright: © 2023 American Mathematical Society.We improve the bound of the g-invariant of the ring of integers of a totally real number field, where the g-invariant g(r) is the smallest number of squares of linear forms in r variables that is required to represent all the quadratic forms of rank r that are representable by the sum of squares. Specifically, we prove that the gOK(r) of the ring of integers OK of a totally real number field K is at most gZ([K : Q]r). Moreover, it can also be bounded by gOF ([K : F]r + 1) for any subfield F of K. This yields a subexponential upper bound for g(r) of each ring of integers (even if the class number is not 1). Further, we obtain a more general inequality for the lattice version G(r) of the invariant and apply it to determine the value of G(2) for all but one real quadratic field.Peer reviewe
