No full text<p>This repository contains the run files and their output data for "The influence of regional geophysical resource variability on the relative value of single- and multi-storage technology portfolios."</p>
<p>The associated Github repository for the project is linked as follows: https://github.com/carnegie/MEM_public.git</p>
<p> </p>
<p>To use these run files (assuming MEM is properly installed):</p>
<ul>
<li> For run files used in generating the data plotted in Figures 3 and 4:
<ul>
<li>Click on the script in the batch script folder (i.e 'run_all_fig3_1tech_CISO.bat'). Edit it beforehand using Notepad to use the correct ISO.<br>
<ul>
<li>This .bat script will cause command terminal to do three tasks
<ul>
<li>activate mymem</li>
<li>cd OneDrive/desktop/Rerun-for-Anna</li>
<li>python one_case.py Run_Files/Fig_3_ERCO/{all run files in folder}.csv</li>
</ul>

</ul>
</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>For run files used in generating the data plotted in figures 5 and 6:
<ul>
<li>In command terminal:
<ul>
<li>cd OneDrive/desktop/Rerun-for-Anna</li>
<li>python Param_Energy_Power.py<br>
<ul>
<li>This generates the parameterizations for energy and power, then calls sub_energy_power.bat to make the command terminal begin each parameterized run</li>
</ul>

</ul>
<p>**All .py files that are part of the MEM model should be in the rerun folder, as should the run_case py or sh script and the case input csv. The weather/demand inputs should be in Input_Data and the location properly written in the case input csv.</p>
Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
No full textThis research evaluates the success of open access self-archiving in several well-known institutional repositories. Two assessment factors have been applied to examine the current practice of self-archiving: depositorship and the availability of full text. This research discovers that the rate of author self-archiving is low and that the majority of documents have been deposited by a librarian or administrative staff. Similarly, the rate of full-text availability is relatively low, except for Australian repositories. By identifying different practices of self-archiving, repository managers can create new strategies for the operation of their repositories and the development of archiving policies
Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
No full textIn the age of information explosion and technological advancement, issues of information storage, organization, access, and evaluation have become necessarily important in our societies. Addressing issues of information literacy and designing how they can be best integrated in students' learning process are of critical importance. Library professionals in the United States, particularly in the academia, have realized the importance of information literacy and have attempted in various ways to address these issues. The ultimate goal is to make information literacy an integral part of the academic curriculum, thus helping students to succeed not only during their years in college but also for their lifelong career choices. This article will look at ways of how information literacy can best be incorporated into students' academic experience, and how this process can make students' learning meaningful and successful. Specifically, the author will examine the model of librarian-faculty collaboration in integrating information literacy into the curriculum, as demonstrated in the Ohio Five Colleges' Information Literacy Program.Publisher version of this article is available at: http://www.white-clouds.com/iclc/cliej/cl24.ht
Cold sodium hydroxide/urea based pretreatment of bamboo for bioethanol production: characterization of the cellulose rich fraction
No full textBamboo (Neosinocalamus affinis) was subjected to successive pretreatments to isolate cellulose rich fractions for further utilization. In this study, the ball-milled bamboo underwent ultrasound treatment in ethanol solution at 20 °C for 0, 5, 15, 35, and 50 min, respectively. Then the samples were dissolved with 7% NaOH/12% urea solutions at ?12 °C, followed by successive extractions with dioxane, ethanol, and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The yields of the obtained cellulose rich fractions ranged from 75.1 to 77.7%. In addition, the structural features of the cellulose rich fractions and the original ball-milled sample were comparatively characterized with a set of spectroscopy and wet chemistry methods including FT-IR, CP/MAS 13C NMR, XRD, SEM, sugar analysis, etc. The results showed that the successive pretreatments resulted in partial removal of carbohydrates and lignin. The lignin released during the pretreatments could facilitate the removal of lignin, which was mainly composed of G and S types. The removal of acetyl groups suggested a decrease of the satirical barrier of enzyme absorption to cellulose. The cellulose rich fractions appeared looser and exhibited more internal surfaces compared to the ball-milled sample. The changes of chemical structures and morphology of the treated sample suggested that the cold sodium hydroxide/urea based pretreatments effectively disrupted the recalcitrance of bamboo, generating highly reactive cellulosic materials for enzymatic hydrolysis to produce bioethano
Factors to Assess Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories
No full textThis paper proposes a group of factors that may be used to assess the success of open access self-archiving. It concentrates on self-archiving in institutional repositories. The authors emphasize the importance of examining content materials, particularly the availability of full text versus abstracts and the deposits archived by authors versus by others.Peer reviewe
Applying the NISO Metasearch Initiative Scheme to Enhance E-Resources Management at Rutgers University Library
No full textThis paper discusses problems in the management of library e-resources and attempts to identify potential solutions to the problems. By describing an e-resources enhancement project taken by Rutgers University Libraries, this paper points to the importance of providing contextually-rich metadata and reorganizing the accessibility of e-resources on a library’s website. It introduces how this Rutgers project adopted the National Information Standards Organization Metasearch Initiative to support the identification of appropriate e-collections for metaseaching. The outcomes of the project have facilitated a dynamic display of relevant e-resources to library users as an effective way of automatic access to library e-collections.Peer reviewe
A Metadata Manager's Role in Collaborative Projects: The Rutgers University Libraries Experience
No full textPurpose – This article discusses the roles and responsibilities of a metadata manager in collaborative digital projects.
Methodology – It describes the general requirements for metadata management, and introduces some scenarios in the practices of digital projects by the Rutgers University Libraries to support the generalized definition. A workflow of metadata management is illustrated.
Practical implications – With an explicit definition of the roles and responsibilities of the metadata manager, many other digital libraries that need to develop a new or optimize the existing workflow may find the Rutgers experience useful as reference.
Originality – Very few articles have explored this topic although the functions of metadata in the development of digital projects have been talked extensively.Peer reviewe
Block-Run Run-Length Coding of Handwriting and Bilevel Graphics Based on Quadtree Segmentation
No full textAn efficient off-line coding scheme for handwriting and bilevel graphics based on quadtree segmentation and block-run run-length coding (RLC) is presented. By segmenting a captured handwriting or graphic image into variable size blocks according to the image activity inside the blocks and run-length coding on a block-run basis, the new scheme is able to achieve higher coding efficiency than the conventional one-dimensional RLC and its bit rate is close to that of on-line dynamographical chain coding
