Torres, Serge. "Tools for the Design of Reliable and Efficient Functions Evaluation Libraries." Thesis, Lyon, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LYSEN030/document.
Full textAbstract:
La conception des bibliothèques d’évaluation de fonctions est un activité complexe qui requiert beaucoup de soin et d’application, particulièrement lorsque l’on vise des niveaux élevés de fiabilité et de performances. En pratique et de manière habituelle, on ne peut se livrer à ce travail sans disposer d’outils qui guident le concepteur dans le dédale d’un espace de solutions étendu et complexe mais qui lui garantissent également la correction et la quasi-optimalité de sa production. Dans l’état actuel de l’art, il nous faut encore plutôt raisonner en termes de « boite à outils » d’où le concepteur doit tirer et combiner des mécanismes de base, au mieux de ses objectifs, plutôt qu’imaginer que l’on dispose d’un dispositif à même de résoudre automatiquement tous les problèmes.Le présent travail s’attache à la conception et la réalisation de tels outils dans deux domaines:∙ la consolidation du test d’arrondi de Ziv utilisé, jusqu’à présent de manière plus ou moins empirique, dans l’implantation des approximations de fonction ;∙ le développement d’une implantation de l’algorithme SLZ dans le but de résoudre le « Dilemme du fabricant de table » dans le cas de fonctions ayant pour opérandes et pour résultat approché des nombres flottants en quadruple précision (format Binary64 selon la norme IEEE-754)The design of function evaluation libraries is a complex task that requires a great care and dedication, especially when one wants to satisfy high standards of reliability and performance. In actual practice, it cannot be correctly performed, as a routine operation, without tools that not only help the designer to find his way in a complex and extended solution space but also to guarantee that his solutions are correct and (almost) optimal. As of the present state of the art, one has to think in terms of “toolbox” from which he can smartly mix-and-match the utensils that fit better his goals rather than expect to have at hand a solve-all automatic device.The work presented here is dedicated to the design and implementation of such tools in two realms:∙ the consolidation of Ziv’s rounding test that is used, in a more or less empirical way, for the implementation of functions approximation;∙ the development of an implementation of the SLZ-algorithm in order to solve the Table Maker Dilemma for the function with quad-precision floating point (IEEE-754 Binary128 format) arguments and images

Alhagi, Nouraddin. "Synthesis of Reversible Functions Using Various Gate Libraries and Design Specifications." PDXScholar, 2010. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/366.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is devoted to efficient automated logic synthesis of reversible circuits using various gate types and initial specifications. These Reversible circuits are of interest to several modern technologies, including Nanotechnology, Quantum computing, Quantum Dot Cellular Automata, Optical computing and low power adiabatic CMOS, but so far the most important practical application of reversible circuits is in quantum computing. Logic synthesis methodologies for reversible circuits are very different than those for classical CMOS or other technologies. The focus of this dissertation is on synthesis of reversible (permutative) binary circuits. It is not related to general unitary circuits that are used in quantum computing and which exhibit quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. The interest in this dissertation is only in logic synthesis aspects and not in physical (technological) design aspects of reversible circuits. Permutative quantum circuits are important because they include the class of oracles and blocks that are parts of oracles, such as comparators or arithmetic blocks, counters of ones, etc. Every practical quantum algorithm, such as the Grover Algorithm, has many permutative circuits. These circuits are also used in Shor Algorithm (integer factorization), simulation of quantum systems, communication and many other quantum algorithms. Designing permutative circuits is therefore the major engineering task that must be solved to practically realize a quantum algorithm. The dissertation presents the theory that leads to MP (Multi-Path) algorithm, which is currently the top minimizer of reversible circuits with no ancilla bits. Comparison of MP with other 2 leading software tools is done. This software allows to minimize functions of more variables and with smaller quantum cost that other CAD tools. Other software developed in this dissertation allows to synthesize reversible circuits for functions with "don't cares" in their initial specifications. Theory to realize functions from relational representations is also given. Our yet other software tool allows to synthesize reversible circuits for new types of reversible logic, for which no algorithm was ever created, using the so-called "pseudo-reversible" gates called Y-switches.

However, by gathering data from different sources, the problem of duplicate and ambiguous information about author names arises. Traditional methods of name disambiguation use syntactic attribute information. However, recently the use of relationship networks, which provides semantic information, has been studied in data disambiguation. In author name disambiguation, the co-authorship relations can be used to create a social network, which can be used to improve author name disambiguation methods. This dissertation presents a study of the impact of adding social network analysis to author name disambiguation methods based on syntactic attribute information. We present a machine learning approach based on Genetic Programming and use it to evaluate the impact of social network analysis in author name disambiguation. Through experiments using subsets of real digital libraries, we show that the use of social network analysis significantly improves the quality of results. Also, we demonstrate that match functions created by our Genetic Programming approach are able to compete with state-of-the-art methods.

This paper explores the goals and functions of the public libraries in Sweden. This is regarding their materials, what groups they are focusing on and what their purpose is in the society. The paper focus on the four interviews that I have conducted which also are what this study is based upon. I have used the model of Andersson & Skot Hansen (1994) to analyze the material and the results that I have found. This in order to determine what functions the public library has that I have chosen as an example for this study. It displays what functions the chosen library has in its community and the goals of the public libraries. The result shows that the libraries strive to spread culture, literature and information to all groups in the society and to support all forms of education. The paper also reveals that the library that I have chosen has many functions in its community as public libraries often has.

Full textAbstract:
Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are good candidates for investigations of enzyme evolution, due to their broad substrate specificities and structural homology. The primary role of GSTs is to act as phase II detoxifying enzymes protecting the cell from toxic compounds of both endo- and exogenous origins. The detoxification is conducted via conjugation with glutathione (GSH), which facilitates their removal from the body. The work presented in this thesis has supported a theory for enzyme evolution when the multiple pathway to novel functions can been seen to involve a “generalist” state from which “specialist” states with a new activities can evolve. The generalist has broader specificity and lower activity than the specialist. The term quasi-species is used for a group or cluster of enzyme variants with similar functional properties, and this entity has been suggested as the fittest group for further evolution. This is based on studies of the evolution of new GST variants in two generation. Three diverging clusters or quasi-species, with diverging substrate selectivity, were identified from a GST M1/M2 library, by using directed evolution (family DNA shuffling), multiple substrate screening and multivariate statistics as tools. One of the clusters was M1-like and the other was M2-like, both functionally and structurally. The third quasi-species diverged orthogonally from the parent-like distributions. Its functional character can be referred to as a “generalist” as it had lower activities with most of the substrates assayed except for epoxy-3-(4-nitrophenoxy)-propane (EPNP) and p-nitrophenyl acetate (pNPA). Another round of family DNA shuffling was made with selected variants from the “generalist” quasi-species. From the second generation three quasi-species emerged with diverging functions and sequences. The major cluster contained enzyme variants that represented a direct propagation of the generalists. Diverging from the generalists was a cluster with high specificity with isothiocyanates (ITCs). Increased ITC specificity and decreased epoxide specificity was observed among the novel variants (specialists). The change in functional properties was attributed to a Tyr116His substitution in the active site. These results demonstrate the usefulness of multivariate analysis in the quest for novel enzyme quasi-species in a multi-substrate space, and how minimal changes in the active site can generate distinctive functional properties. An application of our method could be identification of enzyme quasi-species that have lost their sensitivity with alternative inhibitors.

Full textAbstract:
Migration from the traditional to web-based library paradigm is usually accompanied by remodelling of many library core activities particularly those associated with user-centred services. In this capacity of the web-based service paradigm, many academic libraries have established networked environments within which many virtual-user communities are forming and growing. Understanding the virtual user's needs in these communities has become the first priority of networked libraries for designing, running and managing effective virtual reference services to meet the increasing expectations of the invisible users. To achieve this, the networked libraries strive to improve their quality of service by applying a wide range of such quality management approaches as quality function deployment (QFD) and LIBQUAL™. QFD initially stresses on driving continuous improvement of the user-oriented services towards end-user satisfaction. The paper attempts to incorporate the QFD to be integrated strategically in designing and managing e-information provision within networked library service environment. The UAE University Library is used as a case study, where the evidence-based librarianship (EBL) approach has been employed in three studies to identify user needs and acceptance of e-services. Based on these studies, the paper presents a model aimed at streamlining e-services for virtual users in ICT-rich learning environments.

Full textAbstract:
The identification of genetic events that cause tumorigenesis is a key goal of cancer research. While recent sequencing efforts have provided unprecedented illumination of cancer genomes, the inherent genomic instability of tumors results in vast numbers of somatic mutations and copy number alterations (CNAs), hampering identification of causative driver events. Functional genetic screens provide a complementary approach to genomics in the search for cancer drivers. While many studies have focused on loss-of-function studies in cancer cells using RNAi technology, we present a platform for gain-of-function screening using sequence-verified human open reading frames (ORFs). We have paired genome-scale ORF collections with unique DNA barcodes of uniform length, facilitating quantitative readout by next generation sequencing. ORFs are expressed from an inducible promoter, allowing precise control of screening conditions. We have used our libraries to identify regulators of proliferation in non-transformed human mammary epithelial cells (HMECs), seeking to uncover early driving events in tumorigenesis. We rediscovered many known oncogenes and observe significant enrichment of our pro-proliferative gene set within regions of recurrent focal amplification in human cancers, indicating the efficacy of our method for cancer gene driver discovery. We have identified a novel family of pro-proliferative genes, the keratin associated proteins, which strongly promote proliferation in HMECs and may contribute to human cancers. Additionally, we report several common sources of error that contribute to noise in pooled genetic screens in mammalian cells. We have observed that library plasmid DNA present in viral supernatants can contaminate screen samples resulting in inaccurate reference measurements of the abundance of library elements. A further artifact of this contamination is a perceived bias towards enrichment of library elements with low GC content. Additionally, libraries containing multiple unique elements carried on a single retroviral genome are subject to recombination during reverse transcription. Our inducible ORF libraries circumvent these problems, allowing for highly accurate, reproducible screen results. As CNAs are considered to be key initiating events in tumorigenesis, and many oncogenes are activated by amplification, we believe that modeling increased gene expression in untransformed human cells will provide critical functional data facilitating the discovery of bona fide cancer drivers.Medical Sciences

Orsi, Maia. "Population synthesis models for IMF studies." Thesis, Liverpool John Moores University, 2014. http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/4525/.
Full textAbstract:
Population synthesis models (PSMs) are fundamental tools to study the star formation history and IMF of unresolved stellar populations using spectral features. This work presents a new set of PSMs constructed using theoretical isochrones and two state-ofthe- art synthetic spectral libraries. The BT-Settl and Munari libraries were chosen for their ability to predict the observed values of Lick-type and IMF-sensitive indices in individual stars of the solar neighbourhood. The BT-Settl library was used to sample the cool main sequence stars and the Munari library for the rest of the evolutionary phases. The PSMs cover a range of metallicities with [Fe/H]= 0, -1.31 and -1.81 for scaled-solar and α-enhanced metal mixtures. The models were used to study the behaviour of the IMF indices defined in the literature and the results are in good agreement with what other PSMs have determined. The PSMs in this work predict a strong degeneracy between age, metallicity and IMF. I used the models to study which are the main evolutionary phases contributing to each IMF-sensitive index and found that most indices reach their final integrated values before the turn off. The post-main sequence stars contribute mainly to the continuum of these bands. Uncertainties in the the effective temperature of the isochrones can affect IMF estimates. The PSMs were applied to extragalactic globular clusters (GCs) and early-type galaxies (ETGs) using data from the literature. I determined the ages, metallicities and IMFs of these systems using index combinations in the optical and infrared. I explored how the morphology of the Horizontal Branch (HB) and dynamical evolution (which are key uncertainties in the modelling of GCs) can affect the IMF predictions. In a population with a Milky Way IMF, dynamical evolution can make the IMF indices mimic a bottom-light IMF. HB morphology has no impact on the IMF estimates at low [Fe/H]. In the IMF index-index diagrams for GCs, the results are significantly affected by the unknown sodium abundances of these systems. Using the PSMs in this work the best index combination to determine the IMF is CaH1 and TiO2. The ETGs and the [Fe/H]=0 GCs appear to have a bottom-heavy IMF with x ~ 3:0. These results are discussed in the work.

Abstract From the end of the 20th century, the Internet has played an important role in many people’s daily life. More and more people access information via the Internet to make decisions or solve their problems. Traditional libraries whose main goal is information sharing are in fact actively using the Internet as convenient alternative channels for users to retrieve information. Because of the features of interactivity, Internet mainly differs from the traditional media. Therefore, libraries can utilize this feature by putting their services online, and design the interactive functions to promote interactions among the systems, librarians and users. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interactive functions of digital libraries. It is discussed in two perspectives: interactive functions of digital libraries themselves and the needs of users. First the digital library and interaction were defined, and the concept and meaning of interactivity from the literatures were discussed. Second, the current state of interactive functions of Taiwan digital libraries was analyzed. Finally, the case study was used in which questionnaires were distributed to request the needs for interactive functions from the main users of National Chiao Tung University Library. By investigating in two perspectives, interactive functions can be designed to meet both the systems’ needs and users’ needs. Based on the literature and researcher’s observations of the digital libraries in Taiwan, six categories and thirty-nine items were identified to evaluate the interactive functions of digital libraries and to survey the users’ needs. The results indicated that, though many interactive functions can be designed for the digital libraries theoretically, many of them aren’t implemented in practice. In other words, more interactive functions can be designed into digital libraries in Taiwan. The results also indicated that the higher degree the users evaluated the interactivity designed in the digital libraries, the higher degree they would appraise the digital libraries. Thus it is concluded that if the interactive functions can meet users’ needs, the digital libraries will gain the recognition and applause from their users, and thus may enhance their utilization. Key words: digital library, interaction, users’ needs, interactive function, evaluation

The aim of this study is to learn about senior high school principals’ perceptions of the theoretical and practical functions of high school libraries. It also examines the barriers and facilitators to fully implement the functions and to explore the types of actions that can be taken to develop principal support. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with six public senior high school principals who were once directors of senior high school libraries. The response analysis from the purposive samples indicate that: (A) There is a difference between the perceived theoretical functions and the perceived practical functions of high school libraries.(B) The barriers to fully implement the theoretical library functions include students’ overwhelming stress of the college entrance exam; students’ being disinterested in reading; lack of formal library instructional courses, professional librarians, and support from teachers for collaboration and integration. Meanwhile, the changes in the educational climate, particularly the move to a diverse college entrance system, resource-based learning and hiring certified staff, have created opportunities for school libraries to function. (C) Five out of the six interviewees shared the same perception that most high school principals have little knowledge of the theoretical functions and true value of modern school libraries. Principals should be led to be knowledgeable about the library in order to become a strongly supportive advocate of the school library. Suggestions are submitted as followed: (A) Senior high school library staff should update their professional knowledge and inform their principals of the crucial functions of school libraries by communicating regularly with the principals and building shared vision with them to gain principal support. (B) Senior high school principals should know the potential of school libraries and empower them to be the niche of a quality school by hiring certified staff and encouraging collaboration between librarians and teachers. (C) The training and administration organizations should beat the drum for the true potential of a school library by including library and information science in the principal as well as teacher preparation programs, inviting principals to attend in-service training, conferences and visits of model school libraries and by offering library program checklists , guidelines or manual brochures for principals. Last but not least, the training organizations should make sure that strategies of communication are part of their program so as to breed the librarians who can develop the support and partnership with principals and teachers in schools.

Full textAbstract:
Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the Master of Technology Degree in Library and Information Studies in the Department of Information and Corporate Management, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2008.This study investigated the job functions of university and university of technology graduates and diplomates in the staff structures of special libraries and engineering firms in KwaZulu-Natal. The objective of the study was to draw on possible trends and best practices in the latter for the Library and Information Services (LIS) work environment, as engineering like LIS draws its personnel from both traditional universities and universities of technology (UoT). Hence, the main target population for the study was university and UoT graduates and diplomates in special libraries and engineering firms in KZN. Graduates and diplomates were chosen for inclusion in the study using a census because of the smallness of the staff complements in these organizations. Two sets of self-administered questionnaires were distributed, one to graduates/diplomates and the other to employers in the selected organizations. Data collected was analysed using descriptive statistics and content analysis. Findings of the study revealed inconsistencies with the National Diploma: Library and Information Studies (ND: LIS) where these diplomates occupy paraprofessional as well as professional positions in special libraries whilst engineering graduates and diplomates tend to occupy job titles according to their highest academic qualifications. In both special libraries as well as in the engineering environment there is much task overlap and downshifting of job functions between paraprofessional and professional university and UoT graduates and diplomates. This study has revealed a valuable best practice from the engineering discipline for the LIS profession, which is that of professional registration. Professional registration of engineering staff with the Engineering Council of South Africa is a statutory requirement in the engineering profession and allows for the growth and development of those in the profession. It is recommended that the LIS profession, and the Library and Information Association of South Africa (LIASA) specifically, investigate a mechanism for professional registration of library and information workers.

Text in AfrikaansDie doel van die studie was om 'n model te ontwikkel vir openbare bibiioteekdiensiewering in 'n ontwikkelende land met 'n multikulturele samelewing. Die kernprobleem was om die teoretiese fundering van dienslewering en die toepassing daarvan in die praktyk te ondersoek. Die eerste subprobleem was om die eienskappe van 'n professie en professionele dienslewering te ondersoek. Die eienskappe van die professionalis/bibiiotekaris wat leiding aan die gebruiker moet gee, is geidentifiseer. Sleutelelemente is: outonomie (gekoppel aan deskundigheid en opieiding), 'n altruistiese diensorientasie en funksionele diens (volgens professionele riglyne en standaarde) aan alle groepe in die gemeenskap, ongeag sosiale kias. Die tweede subprobleem was om die doelstellings en funksies van die openbare biblioteek en die roi van gebruikersleiding daarin te ontleed. Daar is gevind dat diensleweringsfunksies in die teorie swak gefundeer is. 'n Kategorisering is voorgestel wat onderskei tussen ondersteuningsfunksies, diensleweringsfunksies en bestuursfunksies. Gebruikersleiding is geidentifiseer as oorkoepelende begrip en kernelement van alle diensleweringsfunksies wat gerig is op die optimalisering van die waarde van inligting tot beswil van die samelewing. Die derde subprobleem was om die ontstaan van 'n diensbegrip in die openbare biblioteek te beskryf en paradigmaverskuiwings uit te wys. Professionele riglyne, beginsels en standaarde, is ontleed. Afleidings is gemaak oor 'n heersende diensbegrip en rol van die openbare biblioteek. Daar is bevind dat die riglyne vir die identifisering van gebruikersgroepe en hulle behoeftes asook diensleweringsfunksies ontoereikend is. 'n Kategorisering van potensiele gebruikersgroepe en hul behoeftes is gedoen en 'n model vir openbare biblioteekdiensiewering ontwikkel om die leemte in teoretisering te vul. Die model onderskei 'n diensparadigma van dienslewering aan alie individue en groepe in die gemeenskap en missie van ontwikkeling; die primere doeiltelling opvoeding; beginsels van gemeenskapskontak; behoeftebepaling en toegang lot inligting; diensfunksies en uitreikaktiwiteite; die professionalis-klientverhouding; wetgewing, organisatoriese strukture en omgewingsfaktore. Die model is in 'n vraelysopname in die Suid-Afrikaanse openbare biblioteekpraktyk getoets. Daar is bevind dat die doelsteliings nagestreef en diensfunksies toegepas word. Die grootste probleme word in organisatoriese strukture en finansiering ondervind. Hierdie sake moet dringend aandag kry om die gestelde missie, naamlik om 'n wesenlike rol te speel in die ontwikkeling van die hele Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing, te verwesenlik.
The purpose of the study was to develop a model for public library service rendering in a developing and multicultural society. The core problem was to investigate the theoretical foundation of service rendering and the application thereof in practice. The first subproblem was to examine the characteristics of a profession and professional service rendering. The characteristics of the professional/ librarian who has to provide guidance to the user were identified. Key elements are: autonomy (linked to expertise and training), an altruistic service orientation and functional service (according to professional guidelines and standards) to all groups in the community irrespective of social class. The second subproblem was to analyse the aims and functions of the public library and the role of user guidance in it It was found that service rendering functions are not theoretically well grounded. A categorisation is proposed which distinguishes between supporting, service rendering and management functions. User guidance is identified as an umbrella concept and core element of all service rendering functions which is directed at optima/isirtg the value of information to the benefit of society. The third subproblem was to describe the origins of a service concept in the public library and to expose paradigm shifts. Professional guidelines, principles and standards were analysed. Conclusions were drawn about a predominant service concept and the role of the public library. It was found that guidelines for the identification of user groups and their needs as well as service rendering functions are inadequate. A categorisation of potential user groups and their needs was compiled and a model for public library service rendering was developed to bridge the gap in XXtheorisation. The model distinguishes a paradigm of service to all Individuals and groups in the community and a developmental mission; the primary aim of education; service principles of community networking, needs assessment and information access; service functions and outreach activities; the professionalclient- relationship; legislation, organisational structures and environmental factors. The model was tested in South African public library practice by means of a questionnaire survey. It was found that aims are pursued and service functions are applied. The greatest problems are experienced In organisational structures and financing. These issues must be urgently addressed to realise the public library's declared mission, namely to play a substantial role in the development of the South African society as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates the history of the phenomenon illiteracy and the response of the public library in selected countries for about one hundred and fifty years with particular focus on the Republic of south Africa. The influence that this manifestation has on the individual Black urban adult, the society in which the illiterate adult lives and the economy of the country are sharply focused. The principal argument is that public libraries have historically adapted their services to meet new social challenges, and in South Africa illiteracy among Black urban adults constitutes such a challenge. As an extension of its traditional educational function, the public library is beginning to meet this challenge in the role of literacy support. The reasons for the high illiteracy rate among the Black adult urban population are discussed in their historical context. As far as the methodology is concerned, extensive literature studies were undertaken on international as well as local data bases. Correspondence was entered into with overseas research institutes, academics and consultants.
Interviews were conducted to ascertain the most recent developments relating to the literacy problem in a well-defined geographical region. Conclusions are made to the effect that there is a historical imperative for the South African public library system to fully discharge its responsibility to Black South Africans. In order to achieve this the public library in South Africa should re-examine, re-interpret and extend its educational function to include the challenge of the role of literacy support. It is further reconunended that the Provincial Library services in south Africa should coordinate disparate efforts and activities in this regard. The marketing of the public library has become more important in the prevailing economic climate. If the public library wishes to remain an indispensable social institution in the lives of the citizens of South Africa and specifically if it takes the role of literacy support seriously, it will of necessity have to market its services. Other organizational implications for public libraries of this new challenge of literacy support are spelled out clearly and areas requiring further research are indicated.Information Studies

Nowadays, static analysis is a helpful option for developers to ensure all the important properties of a developed application. But these analyses must be also developed and it is inevitable that sometimes they must be debugged to find and solve problems inside of the analyses themself. The debugging of static analyses might be more complicated because some popular analysis frameworks do not provide sufficient support for debugging. One of the widely used analysis frameworks is WALA. In this thesis, we thoroughly explored all the main features of WALA and determined possible points for better debugging support. For each of these points, we designed and implemented supporting infrastructure that should accelerate the process of debugging by avoiding the tedious manual effort needed for inspection and evaluation of the internal state of WALA. One kind of these points is the analysis configuration where we created an inspection system for class hierarchy and call graph that should detect common misconfiguration problems. The next point is the debugging of the data flow transfer functions, for which we created a visualizer of the running analysis over the subject program. This visualization is done within the Visual Studio Code editor. To connect the editor with the analysis we used Debug Adapter Protocol and...

The role and function of the public libraries in Taiwan are studied by using historical research and the view of hermeneutics. The collected government documents are analyzed to explain the stand of law makers and the government. According to the results from this research, the public libraries have two main functions, culture and social education, which are proposed by the government. For social education function, public library must participate in culture growing and achieve the goal of building a society of book-cherishing. The entertainment and information providing functions of public libraries are not mentioned in the law, regulations, and official documents until 1980s. Several government documents are performed on the nebulous document- collecting function that is being mentioned frequently in official documents, the unclear content and object in the function of social education, the relation between social customs and public libraries, the ignored function of entertainment and information providing, and the confused parts of community culture center and public libraries. This research suggests the government must reconsider the job contents and objects of public libraries in legislating related regulations. Let the public libraries act as its original character, a social service unit. The government should consider the requests from the populaces and make more efforts to distinguish the relations between community culture center and public libraries. In addition, public libraries might technically adjust its service contents in social education before its position being made clear in related regulations. Organization like the ibrary committee should implement its inspection function on public libraries.

The mission of university libraries have been taking to support or reinforce academic researches and teaching, however the newly established exhibition space for the arts exhibitions are one of the services which is increased recently. For the needs of adapting to the external environment, the visual exhibitions have been transformed into the digital ones. The purpose of the study is to examine the role and function of the exhibitions held in the national university libraries in Taiwan. The research centers on the various conditions in the environments of the arts exhibitions that held in the national university libraries in recent. This study contains three major parts: the first part discusses the experiences from museums of holding exhibitions and the theoretical frame about the “university library exhibitions”. The second part is the comparison of the different organizations which hold exhibitions, such as museums, public libraries, and arts centers, in addition to the integration of three exhibition models by university libraries. The third part analyzes the common elements of library exhibitions and the types of exhibitions by applying the management SWOT approach. The findings of this study indicate that the “university library exhibitions” possess the same functional roles as the traditional museums in the aspects of education, culture, researches and entertainment. Different types of exhibitions reveal these functions by different standards. The study also discovered that the superiority of the “university library exhibitions,” was mostly in the aspects of education, culture, and researches. As far as the aspect of entertainment, though been admitted as one function, is not particularly addressed. In the future, some efforts might be added to university library exhibitions, such as the playing of a public role, the development of the audience and readers, also the tendency of being a cultural industry. The study concludes with the following suggestions: preparing proper library exhibition policies, expanding the function of “exhibition” to the level of performance, promoting the inter-library exhibitions and exhibition loans, transforming the charge-free exhibitions into a cultural business, re-utilizing the space in libraries, considering the benefit of the corporation among different departments in the campus, extending the sensation of aesthetics into communities and developing the library audience based the idea of life-long continuing education.

It became known that South African learners’ learning outcomes rank poorly on the international stage, even if compared to less developed parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. The root cause of this problem is assumed to lie with the concern of illiteracy, which was argued, could be combated inter alia by ensuring that every public school has a stocked and functional library serviced by a fulltime proficient librarian. The aim of the study was to investigate the role of principals in establishing and managing functional school libraries in the King Cetshwayo District, KwaZulu-Natal. A qualitative investigation was done amongst school principals and their teacher librarians at five Dlangubo Circuit Schools. Data were collected by means of in-depth interviews and document analysis. The study revealed that the principals lack the training and resources to fulfil their role in establishing and maintaining functional school libraries. Recommendations were made on how principals might solve these problems in the future.Dit het aan die lig gekom dat Suid-Afrikaanse leerders se leeruitkomste swak in die internasionale arena vertoon, selfs indien dit met minder-ontwikkelde dele van Sub-Sahara-Afrika vergelyk word. Daar word aanvaar dat die oorsaak van hier probleem vermoedelik die probleem van ongeletterdheid is, wat onder andere oorkom kan word deur te verseker dat elke openbare skool oor ’n toegeruste en funksionele biblioteek beskik wat deur ’n voltydse, bekwame bibliotekaris bestuur word. Hierdie studie ondersoek die rol van skoolhoofde in die vestiging en bestuur van funksionele skoolbiblioteke in die King Cetshwayo-distrik in KwaZulu-Natal. Daar is by vyf skole in die Dlangubu-streek ’n kwalitatiewe ondersoek met behulp van skoolhoofde en hulle onderwyser-bibliotekarisse gedoen. Data is met behulp van diepgaande onderhoude en dokumentanalise versamel. Die studie het aan die lig gebring dat die skoolhoofde ’n gebrek aan opleiding en hulpbronne het ten einde hulle rol in die vestiging en handhawing van funksionele skoolbiblioteke te vervul. Aanbevelings is gemaak oor hoe skoolhoofde in die toekoms moontlik hierdie probleme kan oplos.

Structure and functional study of glycans are highly challenging due to the difficulties in analyzing glycans and limited availability of samples for study. These limitations could be resolved by attaching DNA barcode to the glycan, which virtually represent glycan in further application, by increasing the sensitivity of detection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), requiring minimal samples for analysis. Assuming bigger arena of DNA Encoded Glycan Libraries (DEGL) in future, we propose here a method for uniquely coding all glycans using computer program that can convert the structural information of glycans to DNA barcode. A unique and universal coding for glycans will benefit both synthesis and analysis of DEGLs. As a proof of principle study, a small DNA Encoded Glycan Library (DEGL) of blood and globo series glycan antigen and its application was demonstrated in detecting blood group and breast cancer from plasma.

Architectural problems of Township public Libraries in Taiwan have been ignored with their shortage of human as well as physical resources. Researches related to public libraries often focus on professional or major library type such as University library.From literature reviews, one of main problems of township public libraries is their inefficient usage of educational learning spaces in addition to the problems of small space and incompetent layout.Nevertheless a public library in suburban and especially in countryside, although it may be in a insufficient situation of space and manpower resources, it has show a new aspect of expectation for public library as a way of more enjoyable reading area, and more diversify and flexibility of space, has its local special characteristics and typical collection, educational as well as recreational purpose, perform itself as a local culture center for the community. Furthermore, there is no clear definition or regulation within the authorial documentation for the use of the culture/educational activities in such spaces. However, since most of township public library has transferred into a community culture centre, government of Taiwan initiated a transformation project covering the whole township public libraries in Taiwan at 2003.Through works of analysis, a multi-use of library and central control desk, emphasis on children reading area, flexibility in computer and Journal information area, increase efficiency of video auditorium, well establish the local cultural collections and exhibitions, modify the self-reading room to community use, and finally a more usable librarian’s office are required.The project involves experts from multiple disciplinary domains who form the advice boards focusing on the program planning and space re-fabrication. This research follows the activity theory and hierarchical analysis process on analysing the decision making process of advice boards. With such analysis, we are able to unleash several important factors especially on space allocation issues. Several impact factors are documented in the paper and agues with their implication for further research.

Seven years into the postgenomic era, we sit atop a mountain of data whose generation was enabled by gene sequencing. The creation, integration, and analysis of these large scale data sets allow us to move forward toward the complementary goals of determining the individual roles of the thousands of uncharacterized mammalian genes and understanding how they work together to produce a healthy human being -- or, perhaps more importantly, how their malfunction results in disease. Collapsing the results of large-scale assays into gene networks provides a useful framework from which we can glean information that advances both of these goals. However, the utility of networks is limited by the quality of the data that goes into them. This study offers seeks to shed some light on the quality and breadth of protein interaction networks, describes a new experimental technique for functional genetic assays in mammalian cell lines, and ultimately suggests a strategy for how to improve the overall utility of the output generated by the systems biology community.text
