U-Li Isotopes highlight the dominant role of glacier coverage in weathering processes across Northeast Tibetan Plateau glacial watersheds
This study investigates uranium (U) and lithium (Li) isotope fractionation in suspended particulate matter (SPM) from glacial basins in the northeastern Tibetan Plateau, aiming to explore the coupling between physical and chemical weathering processes under glacial influence. The (234U/238U) activity ratio is correlated with parameters related to glacial activity, such as the elevation of the basin and glacier area. Samples from glacial watersheds are enriched in 234U (mean 1.28 ± 0.11), indicating the efficient comminution of rocks. Conversely, non-glacial areas show lower (234U/238U) ratios due to weakened physical weathering (mean 1.09 ± 0.04). The Li isotopes are sensitive to chemical weathering, providing complimentary information to U isotopes. In glacial watersheds, the variation of δ7LiSP is minimal and compatible with the signature of unaltered bedrock (mean 1.58 ± 0.87 ‰). Samples from lower basins show a stronger fractionation (mean − 2.61 ± 1.26 ‰), pointing to a stronger chemical weathering. As for U, Li fractionation is also related to topographic variables influencing the degree of glacial activity. Where glaciers are active, physical weathering fractionates U isotopes but no Li isotopes. Where glaciers are not present, physical weathering is less important, while chemical alteration is more relevant, leading to a low fractionation of U isotopes and a strong fractionation of Li isotopes. The combined use of U and Li isotopes offers an effective tool for tracing weathering regimes shaped by geomorphic and climatic factors, highlighting the role of glaciers in silicate weathering and landscape evolution, and demonstrating the proxies' potential for reconstructing recent glacial weathering
Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
This 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
Four positive periodic solutions of a discrete time Lotka-Volterra competitive system with harvesting terms
Tyt. z nagł.References p. 266-267.Dostępny również w formie drukowanej.ABSTRACT: In this paper, by using Mawhin's continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, we establish the existence of at least four positive periodic solutions for a discrete time Lotka-Volterra competitive system with harvesting terms. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. KEYWORDS: discrete systems, Lotka-Volterra competitive models, coincidence degree, harvesting terms

Information Literacy and Librarian-Faculty Collaboration: A Model for Success:
In 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
Interstitial anionic electrons favoring superconductivity in Li-As electrides
Interstitial anionic electrons (IAEs) at lattice cavities of electrides, which have diverse morphologies and concentrations, can induce interesting physical and chemical properties. Understanding the correlation between IAEs and electron-phonon coupling is crucial for the development of new electride superconductors. We have applied first-principles structural search calculations to predict new high-pressure Li-As electrides, such as P6/mmm LixAs (x=5 and 8), Li6As with Cmc21 and C2/c symmetries, and C2/mLi10X (X=As and Sb), which together with the already known C2/mLi10Te compound present favorable characteristics (i.e., variable donor content, structural symmetries, and acceptor species) to explore IAE-related superconductivity. According to our results, the predicted superconducting temperatures of these electrides are positively correlated with the number and connectivity of IAEs.This work was supported by the Natural Science Foundation of China (Grants No. 52025026, No. 21873017, No. 21573037, No. 22372142, and No. 12304028), the Postdoctoral Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 2013M541283), the Innovation Capability Improvement Project of Hebei Province (Grant No. 22567605H), the Natural Science Foundation of Hebei Province (Grant No. B2021203030), and the Science and Technology Project of the Hebei Education Department (Grants No. JZX2023020 and No. QN2023246).
