The Summer I Learned to Fly by D. Reinhardt
No full textReinhardt, Dana. The Summer I Learned to Fly. New York: Ember, 2012. Print. The enthusiastic endorsement from Markus Zusak, author of The Book Thief, on the cover of The Summer I Learned to Fly was persuasive. I picked up this coming-of-age novel with high expectations and it did not disappoint. Reinhardt’s heroine, Drew Robin Solo, aka Birdie, doesn’t have many friends and spends most of her time hanging around her mother’s cheese shop. It is 1986, the summer before Birdie begins grade eight. One night after closing the cheese shop, Drew meets a mysterious young man named Emmett Crane who eats the day-old bread and leftover cheese that Drew puts in the garbage. Drew learns the true meaning of friendship as she finds out who Emmett is, why he is there, and the sacrifices she is willing to make on his behalf. Over the course of the summer, Drew’s friendship with Emmett and his eclectic group of friends develops and when tragedy strikes, Drew must also cope with changing relationships with her Mom and her co-worker and surfer dude, Nick. Reinhardt’s characters, both teen and adult, are flawed, fully drawn, and gloriously human. Drew’s emotional progression throughout the novel is encapsulated in a quiet and profound way: “I didn’t want to be the sort of friend who dashes dreams. Friends, I was pretty sure, lift their friends up; they don’t weigh them down like a sack full of stones.” The Summer I Learned to Fly is a heart-warming and worthy reminder of the choice we all have: to weigh each other down, or to lift each other up. It is highly recommended for a broad audience, but for young girls this book will particularly resonate. Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Tami Oliphant Tami Oliphant is an assistant professor at the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Alberta
STRATEGI KETERSEDIAAN INFRASTRUKTUR PERMUKIMAN DI DISTRIK TAMI, KOTA JAYAPURA
No full textDue to the functioning of the Youtefa Bridge has had an impact on regional development in the Muara Tami District. This area was once a transmigration area which was transformed into a residential and trade area. This research aims to identify and analyze the current growth of settlements in the Muara Tami District, the availability of residential infrastructure and develop strategies for improving existing infrastructure. Data collection was carried out by observation and interviews, then analyzed qualitatively. The research results show that Residential growth in Muara Tami District area is currently very rapid, marked by the growth of new housing, commercial buildings and many land conversions occurring, namely from agricultural land to land for settlement in the form of housing and plots of land. The growth of settlements in Muara Tami District area has not been fully supported by the availability of adequate residential infrastructure.Public infrastructure is basically provided by the government, including roads, drainage, electricity and on-site Waste water treatment plant systems. However, everything is not in the best condition according to standards because it has not been upgraded and there is a lack of maintenance. Clean water and drinking water infrastructure is basically not yet available, so people still rely on drilled wells, dug wells, bottled water and refillable clean water supplies. There is no green open space specifically in the form of a playground (play ground). It is necessary to develop strategies for improving and maintaining existing but not yet optimal infrastructure, including road infrastructure, sanitation and drainage, waste management and housing. Meanwhile, efforts must be made to develop infrastructure that does not yet exist, such as green open space (play ground) and clean water/drinking water
MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank
Glutathione peroxidase activity and its relationship with cortisol and oppiod responses to training in trotters.
No full textGoing Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The effect of training and competition on the endocrine-metabolic response to stress in trotters.
No full text"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
