EBSCO Library of Congress Classification Report 2012

This report lists all periodicals subscribed to in 2012 through EBSCO Subscription Services by the University Libraries, University of Rhode Island. Information provided includes title, ISSN, Library of Congress Classification number and name, and account number (for URI, Pell, or CCE). The list is sorted by LC Classification to better show the journals that support each discipline/subject area. Not included here are titles available through online journal packages and reference databases, which now comprise the majority of the Libraries\u27 subscriptions. The journals listed here are those to which the Libraries subscribe to individually, title-by-title, through EBSCO

Reference Question Data Mining

This exploratory study investigated the feasibility of using reference questions as an important tool in the construction of study guides, instructional outreach, and collection development at a small, four-year university in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The premise for the study was based on the assumption that the content of the reference question and class from which the question came provide more valuable information than the metadata normally captured within reference classification systems (e.g., directional, research). Reference question subjects received at the reference desk were recorded over six months by the reference staff. The authors then analyzed and classified the data to discover patterns in collection use. The resulting report was then disseminated to the reference, collection development, and instructional outreach departments. The findings reveal that this method of reference data classification and timely reporting provides an excellent reference for planning in these library departments

Physics Academic Program Review

This report summarizes an evaluation of the UNT Libraries' Physics-related resources and materials to determine if the collection is adequately serving patron needs. It was generated as part of the UNT Libraries’ contributions to the university’s Academic Program Reviews, which are conducted by the Accreditation office in the Division of Planning. The UNT Libraries’ Collection Assessment Department evaluated collections’ ability to meet the curricular and research needs of the academic programs being reviewed. They assessed current needs based on course descriptions and research outputs, defined the scope of information needed based on this needs assessment, and evaluated the Libraries’ holdings in these subject areas against the usage, qualitative listings, and requests for materials from other libraries. Specific recommendations for collection development are provided based on the results of these analyses

Conception d'un préamplificateur de charges intégré destiné à l'utilisation avec détecteurs à photodiodes à avalanche pour des applications en imagerie médicale

Le but de ce travail est d'implanter un préamplificateur intégré, élément interfaçant le détecteur et la chaîne subséquente de traitement de l'information en TEP. La première partie permet de situer le contexte du projet (chapitre 1), et d'établir les bases de la théorie des préamplificateurs faible bruit adaptées à notre étude (chapitre 2). La caractéristique du bruit électronique du préamplificateur est largement analysée, le bruit pouvant limiter la quantification pour une imagerie fonctionnelle comme la TEP (Yang et coll., 1995). Dans la dernière partie, on réalise la conception du circuit d'implantation du préamplificateur en technologie CMOS à 1.5 [mu]m de MITEL (Bromont, Québec), grâce au logiciel Cadence (chapitre 3). Les simulations des modèles avec le simulateur électronique HSpice permettent de prévoir les performances du prototype. On compare ensuite ces dernières avec le modèle réel implante, teste sur le banc d'essai du laboratoire d'imagerie médicale de Sherbrooke (chapitre 4). Les résultats suggèrent qu'on peut atteindre des caractéristiques compétitives, comparables à celles des modèles commerciaux, en ajustant adéquatement les points de fonctionnement du prototype. Toutefois, on constate que le procède de MITEL produit un bruit 1/f inacceptable qu'on attribue aux pièges à l'interface entre l'oxyde de grille et le canal des transistors MOS sur lesquels nous n'avons aucun contrôle."--Résumé abrégé par UMI
