Applying Information Competency To Digital Reference, Lisa A. Ellis, Stephen Francoeur

Publications and Research

Presented at the 67th IFLA Council and General Conference (2001), this paper presents a case for applying information competency (IC) standards to digital reference services at academic libraries. Practical reasons for applying standards or guidelines to e-mail and online chat reference services are given with some insight to the nature of digital reference interactions. The standards that arose from the information competency movement in academic libraries are described and offered as a touchstone for planning and designing digital reference services. The paper concludes with preliminary ideas for how IC standards could be applied to the provision of digital reference.

Sport: The Original Reality Tv - More Death On The Overheated Football Fields, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

The latest in the "Survivor" series is currently being filmed in Kenya, where locals are amused and confused by the notion that survival in their everyday environment has been turned into a ludicrous game show by Americans. Indeed the reality television craze seems to be hitting new levels of unreality everyday.

The Interaction Of Io And The Jovian Magnetic Field: Io's Alfven Wings And Particle Acceleration, Vincent Dols

Physics

Conditions for the formation of an electric field along the field lines of Jupiter crossing the satellite Io are investigated by examining the properties of Io's Alfven wave. A three-dimensional self-consistent MHD model, using a simplified magnetosphere description, illustrates the formation of this electric field and of Io's related auroral emission in the Jovian ionosphere. The Alfven wing properties between Io and Jupiter are studied with a one-dimensional MHD model and a realistic magnetosphere. Any change in the Io/Jupiter system affects the structure of the Alfven wing and likely affects the structure of Io's auroral emissions. This emission is likely …

Development Of A Fe Boltzmann Temperature Lidar, Justin Breese

Chemistry and Biochemistry

An iron Boltzmann temperature lidar allows the measurement of temperatures and iron densities in the mesopause region (8̃0-100 km). This thesis describes the initial development of a new Boltzmann temperature lidar at Poker Flat Research Range. An excimer-pumped dye laser system was installed in April 1999. During 1999 and 2000 this system was calibrated against the resident sodium system. Observations of iron were made in the winter of 2000 and spring 2001. Temperature measurements were made in December of 2000. The thesis presents an operational analysis of the lidar system performance and a scientific analysis of the data obtained. the …

Duff Moisture Dynamics In Black Spruce Feather Moss Stands And Their Relation To The Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System, Brenda Wilmore

Forest Sciences

The Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System's Fire Weather Index (FWI) system models 3 levels of fuel moisture within the forest floor using simple environmental inputs. Wildland fire managers in interior Alaska have expressed concern that the FWI System does not take northern latitude factors such as long day lengths and permafrost into account. During the 1999 fire season destructive sampling methods were employed to monitor moisture content throughout the feather moss profile in 3 interior Alaska black spruce stands. Measured moisture contents were compared to the FWI System's fuel moisture predictions. The FWI System followed general trends of the …

L-Cysteine-Mediated Destabilization Of Dinitrosyl Iron Complexes In Proteins, Paul A. Rogers, Huangen Ding

Faculty Publications

Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule in intercellular communication as well as a powerful weapon used by macrophages to kill tumor cells and pathogenic bacteria. Here, we show that when Escherichia coli cells are exposed to nitric oxide, its ferredoxin [2Fe-2S] cluster is nitrosylated, forming the dinitrosyl iron complex with a characteristic EPR signal at gav = 2.04. Such formed ferredoxin dinitrosyl iron complex is efficiently repaired in E. coli cells even in the absence of new protein synthesis. However, the repair activity is completely inactivated once E. coli cells are disrupted, indicating that repairing the ferredoxin dinitrosyl iron complex …

Bioavailability And Chemical Characterization Of Soil Organic Matter In Arctic Soils, Xiaoyan Dai

Natural Resources

The purpose of this research was to evaluate bioavailability and chemical characteristics of soil organic matter (SOM) in Arctic tundra soils. Five soil horizons in three different sites located in the Arctic Slope of Alaska were used for this research. This thesis comprises five chapters, each of which described a method that can be used to study the bioavailability and chemical characteristics of SOM in these samples. Chapter One used laboratory incubation technique to determine CO2 evolution from the soils. The cumulative CO2 respired from the samples during the incubation period was used as index of bioavailability of SOM. Chapter …

Factors Influencing Zooplankton Populations In Alaskan Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus Nerka) Nursery Lakes: Insights From Limnological And Paleolimnological Analyses, Jon N. Sweetman

Marine Biology

The relative importance of sockeye salmon, invertebrate predators, and other environmental factors in structuring the size and abundance of zooplankton populations was examined in a series of 23 lakes from southern Alaska. Zooplankton abundance was strongly related to sockeye density, along with nutrient availability and alkalinity. The mean size of Bosmina longirostris, the dominant herbivorous cladoceran, was positively correlated with the abundance of the predatory copepod, Cyclops columbianus. Changes in the size and abundance of Bosmina remains over the past 300-500 years were then determined for sediments from two lakes on Kodiak Island, Alaska. The zooplankton communities showed varying responses …
