Abstract:

Abstract Objective – Measures of trends in Iowa State University library website visits per student/faculty/staff headcount show decreased use. Analysis was conducted to test for a relationship between this decrease and decreasing graduate/undergraduate enrollment ratios and decreasing visits to a popular digital collection. The purpose was to measure the influence of these factors and to produce an adjusted measure of trend which accounts for these factors. Methods – Website transaction log data and enrollment data were modelled with Box and Jenkins time series analysis methods (regression with ARMA errors). Results – A declining graduate to undergraduate enrollment ratio at Iowa State University explained 23% of the innovation variance of library website visits per headcount over the study period, while visits to a popular digital collection also declined, explaining 34% of the innovation variance. Rolling windows analysis showed that the effect of the graduate/undergraduate ratio increased over the study period, while the effect of digital collection visits decreased. In addition, estimates of website usage by graduate students and undergraduates, after accounting for other factors, matched estimates from a survey. Conclusion – A rolling windows metric of mean change adjusted for changes in demographics and other factors allows for a fairer comparison of year-to-year website usage, while also measuring the change in influence of these factors. Adjusting for these influences provides a baseline for studying the effect of interventions, such as website design changes. Box-Jenkins methods of analysis for time series data can provide a more accurate measure than ordinary regression, demonstrated by estimating undergraduate and graduate website usage to corroborate survey data. While overall website usage is decreasing, it is not clear it is decreasing for all groups. Inferences were made about demographic groups with data that is not tied to individuals, thus alleviating privacy concerns.

Abstract:

Electronic communication technologies continue to change the landscape of reference services. For many users, virtual communication is the preferred means of conversing. Synchronous virtual reference, similar to other synchronous means of communication, is an important method for reaching students and for providing teaching and learning opportunities. Grounded Theory (GT) research provides a method for examining the transcripts of synchronous virtual reference. In this study, the library implemented the instant messaging (IM) application known as Meebo. Using the qualitative software ATLAS.ti, Iowa State University Library researchers uploaded, analyzed, and coded the instant messaging transcripts. From the analysis, a snapshot developed of the library’s central role in educating the university community about research resources. This paper describes ongoing challenges that occur during synchronous virtual reference interviews and staff training needs that cannot be captured by number crunching alone. Synchronous virtual reference can provide essential teaching and learning experiences that complement the educational mission of most research universities.

Abstract:

For the past ten years, I have had the pleasure of serving as editor of RUSQ’s Management column. In this space, I have enjoyed showcasing myriad perspectives on management broadly interpreted, articulated by an array of both aspiring and seasoned authors. As I prepared to hand off this responsibility after this issue, I realized that I have filled this role for longer than I ever spent at any one institution to this point in my career—which reminded me that an aspect of management I always wanted to present here is an entire career spent in one library. Managing a career in place, while not extinct, is a practice that waned over the years that our society became increasingly mobile and the notion of moving for opportunity took root. But in fact, a single library—if it’s the right one—can offer the chance to try new things, satisfy a sense of possibility, and advance one professionally, without all the packing and relocating. In this interview, former RUSA President Diana Shonrock shares the story of how she happened into her start in librarianship—and realized a fulfilling, multi-faceted career—all in one place: Iowa State University (ISU) in Ames, Iowa.—Editor

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Esther J. Walls (1926–2008) was a Black librarian born in Mason City, Iowa, who sought social justice in her home state before making her belief in equity and literacy the touchstone of her significant career. Walls worked at the New York Public Library and other important institutions, including appointments to prominent organizations’ committees and boards that recognized her deep knowledge and commitment to service. While earning her master’s degree in library science from Columbia University in 1951 and for years afterward, Walls brought Black culture into the Harlem Branch library and brought the library and its resources into the Harlem community, a then-radical act of information-sharing. New technologies and artifacts from her travels to Africa formed the basis for programs and community conversations. In 1963 she led an American Library Association (ALA) Young Adult Services Division (YASD, now YALSA) committee that created African Encounter: A Selected Bibliography of Books, Films, and Other Materials for Promoting an Understanding of Africa Among Young Adults. Her distinguished career included appointments as director of the US Secretariat to promote UNESCO’s International Year of the Book in 1972 and, in the early 1990s, an appointment to the advisory board for the Center for the Book at the Library of Congress.

Abstract:

Demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) programs have become a well-established approach toward integrating user involvement in the process of building academic library collections. However, these programs are in a constant state of evolution. A recent iteration in this evolution of ebook availability is the advent of large ebook collections whose contents libraries can lease, but not own only if they choose to do so. This study includes an investigation of patron usage and librarian ebook selection by comparing call number data generated by usage of three entities: (1) an ebrary PDA; (2) Academic Complete, which is a leased collection of ebooks; and (3) subject librarian selections based on the YPB approval plan at Iowa State University. The context is provided through a description of the development and evolution of demand driven acquisitions programs with an analysis of where libraries have been and where they are going with enhancing the collection development in academic libraries.

Abstract:

The strength of ACRL comes from its membership. Nevertheless, ACRL and other membership-based professional organizations face many challenges in terms of recruiting and retaining members. Of course, membership and involvement in ACRL contributes to an individual’s career success. But academic and research libraries also benefit when their employees are engaged in their professional associations. Membership and participation in professional associations provides valuable mentoring and professional development opportunities. This is true at every stage of one’s career, but it is particularly critical to help new professionals understand the value of these activities. Many would agree that graduate school is the perfect time to introduce students to their future professional associations, yet membership often remains out of reach financially for many students.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper thoroughly reviews the mechanism of veterinary drug carryover in feed manufacturing facilities, factors resulting in varying concentrations of drug carryover in processing equipment, the impact of chemical and physical properties of drugs, and the effect of equipment type and design. The Google Scholar database (from 1998 to 2023) was searched with words and phrases such as drug carryover, feed manufacturing, equipment cleaning and validation, food allergen control, sources of drug carryover, and process parameters in drug carryover. Some papers were from the Iowa State University Library database and PubMed. Drug carryover is a function of ingredients, nature of drugs, equipment type, process parameters, and cleaning procedures. The gaps are the lack of commercial feed mills data on the role and interaction of nanomaterials, molasses, equipment type, and process parameters in drug carryover in animal feed. Modification of process parameters, e.g., airflow in bucket elevators and the interaction of feed ingredients, composition, equipment type, and design, need to be investigated in the commercial setting to address drug carryover. Rhetorically, can big data facilitate the standardization of cleaning procedures at feed mills? The findings can result in drug carryover prevention/control in animal feed and animal-based human food.

Abstract:

This paper reviews the studies on paired oral tests in the last ten years (2007-2017). Using the search facilities in Iowa State Universitys library, nine articles from some journals in the field of applied linguistics were chosen based on the inclusion criteria. Those journals are Language Testing, Language Assessment Quarterly, Applied Linguistics, and Procedia Social and Behavioral Science. Three reasons why paired oral tests are better than interview test or individual format test are then discussed. Those are promoting and improving students interactional competence, creating students co-constructed discourse, and providing insights for better scale development and rater training. Paired oral tests provide opportunities for students to interact with peers in the tests, enable them to practice and improve their interactional competence. Paired oral tests also enable students to co-construct their discourse, even though there is an issue of grading the scores individually or collaboratively. The last is, more information about students and raters perception were gained that helps improve the rating scale and inform rater training. This paper is concluded with the call for more studies on paired oral tests to provide more insights into this complex process of creating co-constructed discourse and how to validly and reliably test both its process and product.DOI: doi.org/10.24071/llt.2018.Suppl2110

Abstract:

Identification of transcripts produced during porcine oocyte maturation is one of the first steps in defining pathways important to development. Practically, this information will aid in the refinement of in vitro culture processes, allowing for more efficient in vitro embryo production. To this end, mRNA was isolated from 50 in vitro-matured sow metaphase II stage oocytes (Bomed, Inc., Madison, WI, USA) (MIIs), 50 in vitro-matured gilt metaphase II-stage oocytes (MIIg), and 50 gilt germinal vesicle stage oocytes (GVO) by using the Dynabead® system (Dynal, Inc., Lake Success, NY, USA) and amplified by using the SMART system (Clontech, Palo Alto, CA, USA). The PCR products were ligated into a pSport vector and transformed into electro-competent E. coli. Colonies were randomly picked and sequenced at the University of Missouri DNA Core. Sequences were clustered with similar sequences derived from a larger expressed sequence tag (EST) project (http://genome.rnet.missouri.edu/Swine/) by using the tlcluster program developed at the University of Iowa. Following clustering, individual clusters in the cDNA libraries were compared by using Fisher's exact test (P < 0.01) to determine if they were differentially represented. Two sets of comparisons were performed, one between the MIIs and MIIg libraries, and another between the GVO library and the combination of both metaphase II libraries (MII). The number of clusters per number of clones in the library was 966/1668 (GVO), 458/820 (MIIg), and 158/819 (MIIs). There were 15/419 clusters that were different between the MIIs and MIIg libraries, and 26/1269 that were different between the MII and GVO libraries. Potential cytoplasmic polyadenylation elements (CPEs) identified from the literature were found in the GVO and MII libraries by using a custom pattern-matching program. Of the clusters with differential expression, 4/15 (MIIs vs. MIIg) and 7/26 (MII vs. GVO) contained CPEs. Table 1 contains a partial list of differentially expressed genes and the sequence of their cytoplasmic polyadenylation elements. Many genes were found to be differentially expressed in both (MII vs. GVO and MIIs vs. MIIg) comparisons. Collectively, these findings will facilitate the elucidation of important developmental pathways in swine and other animals. Table 1.

Abstract:

Identification of transcripts produced during bovine embryogenesis is the first step in describing the normal developmental program. To that end, mRNA was isolated from in vitro-matured metaphase II oocytes (MPII), in vitro-produced 2-cell-stage (2-Cell), in vitro-produced precompact morula-stage (PCM), in vitro-produced blastocyst-stage (BL), and in vitro-produced nuclear transfer blastocyst-stage (NTBL) embryos. The mRNA was isolated by using Dynabeads® (Dynal, Inc., Lake Success, NY, USA), and amplified by using the SMART system. PCR products were purified and ligated into pSPORT1 and electroporated into E. coli. Random clones were selected for DNA sequencing. Sequence data were evaluated for quality and clustered by sequence similarity with sequences generated from a larger expressed sequence tag (EST) project (http://genome.rnet.missouri.edu/Bovine/) by using the tlcluster program from the University of Iowa. Sequences over 100 bp in length with average Phred scores of over 20 for the entire sequence were submitted to GenBank (NIH genetic sequence database). Sequences were compared to the bovine TIGR (The Institute for Genomic Research) and human databases to gather annotation. The best comparison is listed below by using the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee standards (http://www.gene.ucl.ac.uk/nomenclature/) when possible. The number of unique clusters, i.e. no match in GenBank, was 53, 120, 109, 115, and 135, for MPII, 2-Cell, PCM, BL, and NTBL, respectively. The total number of clusters per tissue ranged from 224 to 992. The percent of clusters (number of clusters per total number of ESTs) per library was 12% (224/1762), 42% (746/1771), 48% (819/1715), 49% (900/1818) and 53% (992/1876) for MPII, 2-Cell, PCM, BL, and NTBL, respectively. Either the quality of the MPII library was lower or the complexity of the MPII mRNA was less than mRNA in the other tissues. Examples of mRNA that were in different abundance are shown in Table 1. Clearly, as in other species, there are significant changes in mRNA abundance during early embryogenesis. Furthermore, NTBL embryos, even though they are morphologically similar to BL, possess a population of mRNA that is distinct from that in BL. Table 1.

Abstract:

Three rigorous one-semester, graduate-level courses are offered in light microscopy (LM) and scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), primarily for graduate students and staff, and for advanced undergraduate students in the teaching complex of the Bessey Microscopy Facility (BMF). These courses have evolved over the years. They include a variety of techniques and laboratory exercises that prepare a successful student to become an independent researcher in the BMF or elsewhere, and to work with any major professor who may not have expertise in microscopy.Each course consists of: five credits at the 600 level; a limit of 10 students; 11 hours of formal lecture-lab time per week; and additional arranged time for continuation of laboratory procedures and individual operation of microscopes and ancillary equipment. Each student has access to the teaching complex 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Abstract:

In August of 2008, leaves of hybrid corn (Zea mays L.) and popcorn from Pulaski and Jasper counties in northwest Indiana were submitted to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Lab with symptoms characteristic of a bacterial disease. Symptomatic leaves had large, tan-to-gray necrotic lesions with dark freckling present within the lesions. Shiny bacterial exudate was present on the surface of many of the lesions. Microscopic observation revealed no fungal structures within the lesions, and bacterial streaming was observed from the cut edge of symptomatic tissue under ×100 magnification with phase contrast. A commercially available ELISA test (Agdia Inc., Elkhart, IN) determined that samples were negative for Pantoea stewartii, the causal agent of Stewart's bacterial leaf blight and wilt. A bacterial suspension was prepared from symptomatic tissue and streaked onto King's B medium and subcultured on semiselective CNS medium (1,2). Axenic, peach-colored colonies present on the CNS medium tested gram positive with a KOH test. Analysis of fatty acid methyl esters (MIDI Inc, Newark, DE) indicated that the strain was very similar (0.611) to Clavibacter michiganensis. Amplification of the 500-bp 16S rRNA region of the bacterial gene and subsequent BLAST alignments of the resulting sequence indicated a 99% match for C. michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis (GenBank Accession Nos. AM410697 and U09763; D16S2 gene bacterial library, version 2.10; MIDI Inc,). Koch's postulates were used to confirm pathogenicity of the isolated bacteria on corn inbred B73. Eighteen plants were mechanically inoculated at growth stage V1 to V2 with a bacterial suspension of approximately 1 × 108 CFU/ml prepared from cultures grown on CNS for 10 days at 28°C (2). Inoculum was rubbed onto leaves dusted with Carborundum and 0.1 ml of the bacterial suspension was injected into stems with a hypodermic needle. Nine control plants were inoculated with sterile water. Plants were kept at greenhouse conditions (24°C) with supplemental 400W high-pressure sodium light. Within 5 to 8 days, leaves and stems of all 18 inoculated plants developed water-soaked, necrotic lesions. No symptoms were observed in control plants. Bacteria were reisolated from symptomatic plants on CNS medium as described above, and gram-positive colonies were obtained. Reisolated strains were identical to C. michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis by D16S2 DNA sequence analysis, confirming the causal agent of the disease. Disease incidence in affected fields ranged from 20 to 60% and significant yield loss was reported. This confirmation is of regulatory importance because of potential export restrictions of Indiana-grown seed corn and popcorn to select countries. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Goss's bacterial wilt and leaf blight on corn in Indiana. References: (1) D. C. Gross and A. K. Vidaver. Phytopathology 69:82, 1979. (2) L. M. Shepherd.

Abstract:

The Materials Science Department at Iowa State University has developed a laboratory designed to improve instruction in the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The laboratory makes use of a computer network and a series of remote workstations in a classroom setting to provide students with increased hands-on access to the SEM. The laboratory has also been equipped such that distance learning via the internet can be achieved.A view of the laboratory is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory consists of a JEOL 6100 SEM, a Macintosh Quadra computer that acts as a server for the network and controls the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), four Macintosh computers that act as remote workstations, and a fifth Macintosh that acts as an internet server. A schematic layout of the classroom is shown in Figure 2. The workstations are connected directly to the SEM to allow joystick and computer control of the microscope. An ethernet connection between the Quadra and the workstations allows students seated there to operate the EDS. Control of the microscope and joystick is passed between the workstations by a switch-box assembly that resides at the microscope console. When the switch-box assembly is activated a direct serial line is established between the specified workstation and the microscope via the SEM’s RS-232.

Abstract:

Neurosurgery for the treatment of psychological disorders has a checkered history in the United States. Prior to the advent of antipsychotic medications, individuals with severe mental illness were institutionalized and subjected to extreme therapies in an attempt to palliate their symptoms. Psychiatrist Walter Freeman first introduced psychosurgery, in the form of frontal lobotomy, as an intervention that could offer some hope to those patients in whom all other treatments had failed. Since that time, however, the use of psychosurgery in the United States has waxed and waned significantly, though literature describing its use is relatively sparse. In an effort to contribute to a better understanding of the evolution of psychosurgery, the authors describe the history of psychosurgery in the state of Iowa and particularly at the University of Iowa Department of Neurosurgery. An interesting aspect of psychosurgery at the University of Iowa is that these procedures have been nearly continuously active since Freeman introduced the lobotomy in the 1930s. Frontal lobotomies and transorbital leukotomies were performed by physicians in the state mental health institutions as well as by neurosurgeons at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics (formerly known as the State University of Iowa Hospital). Though the early technique of frontal lobotomy quickly fell out of favor, the use of neurosurgery to treat select cases of intractable mental illness persisted as a collaborative treatment effort between psychiatrists and neurosurgeons at Iowa. Frontal lobotomies gave way to more targeted lesions such as anterior cingulotomies and to neuromodulation through deep brain stimulation. As knowledge of brain circuits and the pathophysiology underlying mental illness continues to grow, surgical intervention for psychiatric pathologies is likely to persist as a viable treatment option for select patients at the University of Iowa and in the larger medical community.

Abstract:

The university community is not a static environment but, rather, one fraught with change and adjustment to change. How do academic libraries within a university setting effectively address the evolving service and resource needs of a diverse patron community? One method that has received increasing attention is the development and implementation of internal instruments specifically designed to assess user satisfaction with services and resources. This study assesses undergraduate resource and service needs, identifies librarywide unmet needs, and gives both library user and librarian an opportunity to engage in proactive dialogue.

Abstract:

The performance of construction projects heavily depends on how well information is managed. In Iowa the management of this information means locating details and tracking changes in several printed volumes that define design details, material specifications, construction methods, and testing procedures. The details of the development of an electronic reference library (ERL) that provides a virtual library for construction design and management of state highway projects in Iowa are provided. ERL is a large document containing more than 25,000 hyperlinks and is updated and distributed twice a year. The details described include the development of the initial prototype, training of existing staff to maintain an electronic document, and issues related to the production of biannual updates. The major challenges for the development of an ERL include determination of the user interface, document selection, reproduction of accurate content, and maintenance of the electronic version.

Abstract:

This report highlights some of the major developments in the area of speech anatomy and physiology drawing from the author's own research experience during his years at the University of Iowa and the University of Illinois. He has benefited greatly from mentors including Professors James Curtis, Kenneth Moll, and Hughlett Morris at the University of Iowa and Professor Paul Lauterbur at the University of Illinois. Many colleagues have contributed to the author's work, especially Professors Jerald Moon at the University of Iowa, Bradley Sutton at the University of Illinois, Jamie Perry at East Carolina University, and Youkyung Bae at the Ohio State University. The strength of these researchers and their students bodes well for future advances in knowledge in this important area of speech science.

Abstract:

The development of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) suitable for instructional purposes has created a large number of outreach opportunities for the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department at Iowa State University. Several collaborative efforts are presently underway with local schools and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) at ISU to bring SEM technology into the classroom in a near live-time, interactive manner. The SEM laboratory is shown in Figure 1.Interactions between the laboratory and the classroom use inexpensive digital cameras and shareware called CU-SeeMe, Figure 2. Developed by Cornell University and available over the internet, CUSeeMe provides inexpensive video conferencing capabilities. The software allows video and audio signals from Quikcam™ cameras to be sent and received between computers. A reflector site has been established in the MSE department that allows eight different computers to be interconnected simultaneously. This arrangement allows us to demonstrate SEM principles in the classroom. An Apple Macintosh has been configured to allow the SEM image to be seen using CU-SeeMe.

Abstract:

This article analyzes factors related to the rural/urban residence choice of college-educated adults using a unique data set resulting from a 2007 stratified random sample survey of Iowa State University alumni graduating between 1982 and 2006. Rural origin is the most significant predictor of rural residence choice. An important finding is that nonpecuniary goals and values such as family tradition, being respected by friends, and building a business for one’s children to inherit have more weight with Iowa State University alumni who reside in rural areas after college than do monetary returns. This implies that incentives such as tax breaks will not work, or will be too expensive, to attract or retain college graduates in rural areas. Second, entrepreneurship rates are higher among Iowa State University alumni in rural areas and rural entrepreneurs tend to have local or, at least, rural roots. This finding lends support to the increasingly popular “grow your strategies” for rural business development.

Abstract:

Abstract. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach conducted an assessment of Iowa farm operators’ perceptions of the barriers and motivators when considering retrofitting tractors with rollover protective structures (ROPS). A statewide sample of approximately 2,000 farm operators was surveyed in the 2017 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll. A series of questions was asked to evaluate the importance of potential barriers to decisions to not retrofit a tractor and potential motivators that could influence the decision to retrofit or purchase a tractor with ROPS. The survey received a 48% response rate (999 responses). Among the 76% of Iowa farm operators who reported at least one pre-1985 tractor, only 18.6% reported that all of those tractors had ROPS. The remaining 81.4% had at least one tractor that did not have ROPS. Iowa farm operators’ perceptions of the barriers and motivators when considering retrofitting tractors with ROPS are shared. The results of Iowa farm operators’ perceptions will be used as Iowa State University Extension and Outreach prepares to align efforts with the National Tractor Safety Coalition and participate in the National ROPS Rebate Program, with the goal of reducing tractor fatalities. Keywords: Agricultural fatalities, Farm safety, Farmer-attitudes, Retrofit, Rollover protective structures, Safety, Tractor overturns, Tractor safety.
