The Reference Interview: Theories And Practice, Stephanie Willen Brown Feb 2008

The Reference Interview: Theories And Practice, Stephanie Willen Brown

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

The reference librarian's task is to translate the patron's question into one that can be answered with the library's resources. The first element of that task is to know what the patron wants; the second is to know what resources the library has and how to use them. Reference librarians must learn continuously throughout their careers, both because new resources become available, but also because patrons present questions requiring new resources. This article will focus on how to determine what kind of information the patron needs through the reference interview.

Dialectic Schemes In Thesaurus Creation, Maziar Amirhosseini Feb 2008

Dialectic Schemes In Thesaurus Creation, Maziar Amirhosseini

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

This article looks at the logical relationships between the categories that have led to the development of the thesaurus, including the historical origins of thesaurus construction. The research uses the dialectical, logical relationships of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. Each step in the dialectic of thesaurus creation includes subjective and objective thought as part of the thesis and antithesis, resolved by the more absolute thinking of the synthesis.

Protein Adsorption Onto Organically-Modified Silica Glass Leads To A Different Structure Than Sol-Gel Encapsulation, Daryl K. Eggers, B, Menaa, C. Torres, M. Herrero, V. Rives, A. R.W Gilbert Jan 2008

Protein Adsorption Onto Organically-Modified Silica Glass Leads To A Different Structure Than Sol-Gel Encapsulation, Daryl K. Eggers, B, Menaa, C. Torres, M. Herrero, V. Rives, A. R.W Gilbert

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

The secondary structures of two proteins were examined by circular dichroism spectroscopy after adsorption onto a series of organically modified silica glasses. The glasses were prepared by the sol-gel technique and were varied in hydrophobicity by incorporation of 5% methyl, propyl, trifluoropropyl, or n-hexyl silane. Both cytochrome c and apomyoglobin were found to lose secondary structure after adsorption onto the modified glasses. In the case of apomyoglobin, the α-helical content of the adsorbed protein ranged from 21% to 28%, well below the 62% helix found in solution. In contrast, these same glasses led to a striking increase in apomyoglobin structure …

Microfluidic Devices For Terahertz Spectroscopy Of Biomolecules, P. A. George, W. Hui, F. Rana, Benjamin G. Hawkins, A. E. Smith, B. J. Kirby Jan 2008

Microfluidic Devices For Terahertz Spectroscopy Of Biomolecules, P. A. George, W. Hui, F. Rana, Benjamin G. Hawkins, A. E. Smith, B. J. Kirby

Faculty Publications

We demonstrate microfluidic devices for terahertz spectroscopy of biomolecules in aqueous solutions. The devices are fabricated out of a plastic material that is both mechanically rigid and optically transparent with near-zero dispersion in the terahertz frequency range. Using a low-power terahertz time-domain spectrometer, we experimentally measure the absorption spectra of the vibrational modes of bovine serum albumin from 0.5–2.5 THz and find good agreement with previously reported data obtained using large-volume solutions and a high-power free-electron laser. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of performing high sensitivity terahertz spectroscopy of biomolecules in aqueous solutions with detectable molecular quantities as small as …

A Promising Change In The Selection Of The Circular Polarization Excitation Used In The Measurement Of Eu(Iii) Circularly Polarized Luminescence, K. Do, F. C. Muller, Gilles Muller Jan 2008

A Promising Change In The Selection Of The Circular Polarization Excitation Used In The Measurement Of Eu(Iii) Circularly Polarized Luminescence, K. Do, F. C. Muller, Gilles Muller

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

A judicious change in the selected transition used for circular polarization excitation will overcome the low oscillator strength limitation of the currently allowed magnetic-dipole 5D1 ← 7F2 (Eu(III)) transition chosen for circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) measurement. The proposed allowed magnetic-dipole 5D1 ← 7F0 (Eu(III)) transition will facilitate the detection of CPL from the Eu(III) systems of interest. CPL on the acetonitrile solution of the chiral tris complex of Eu(III) with (R,R)-N,N′-bis(1-phenylethyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide ([Eu((R,R)-1)3]3+), recently suggested as an effective and reliable CPL calibrating agent, confirms the feasibility of the proposed experimental procedure. A comparable CPL activity exhibited by the acetonitrile solution of …

Favourable Influence Of Hydrophobic Surfaces On Protein Structure In Porous Organically-Modified Silica Glasses, Daryl K. Eggers, B. Menaa, M. Herrero, V. Rives, M. Lavrenko Jan 2008

Favourable Influence Of Hydrophobic Surfaces On Protein Structure In Porous Organically-Modified Silica Glasses, Daryl K. Eggers, B. Menaa, M. Herrero, V. Rives, M. Lavrenko

Faculty Publications, Chemistry

Organically-modified siloxanes were used as host materials to examine the influence of surface chemistry on protein conformation in a crowded environment. The sol–gel materials were prepared from tetramethoxysilane and a series of monosubstituted alkoxysilanes, RSi(OR′)3, featuring alkyl groups of increasing chain length in the R-position. Using circular dichroism spectroscopy in the far-UV region, apomyoglobin was found to transit from an unfolded state to a native-like helical state as the content of the hydrophobic precursor increased from 0 to 15%. At a fixed molar content of 5% RSi(OR′)3, the helical structure of apomyoglobin increased with the chain length of the R-group, …

Disparities In Use Of Mental Health And Substance Abuse Services By Asian And Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Women, Van M. Ta Park, H. S. Juon, A. C. Gielen, D. Steinwachs, A. Duggan Jan 2008

Disparities In Use Of Mental Health And Substance Abuse Services By Asian And Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander Women, Van M. Ta Park, H. S. Juon, A. C. Gielen, D. Steinwachs, A. Duggan

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine if disparities exist in lifetime utilization of mental health/substance abuse services among Asian, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander (NHOPI) and white mothers. The study sample was comprised of mothers assessed to be at-risk (n = 491) and not at-risk (n = 218) for child maltreatment in the Hawaii Healthy Start Program study. Multiple logistic regression models were used to test the effects of predisposing, need, and enabling factors on utilization of services. Results revealed that, among mothers with depressive symptoms, compared with whites, Asians and NHOPI were significantly less likely to have received …
