Greenstone: open-source DL software

Greenstone is a comprehensive system for constructing and presenting collections of thousands or millions of documents, including text, images, audio, and video. Greenstone libraries contain many collections, individually organized, though they bear a strong family resemblance. Easily maintained, collections can be augmented and rebuilt automatically

Power to the people: end-user building of digital library collections

Naturally, digital library systems focus principally on the reader: th e consumer of the material that constitutes the library. In contrast, this paper describes an interface that makes it easy for people to build their own library collections. Collections may be built and served locally from the user's own web server, or (given appropriate permissions) remotely on a shared digital library host. End users can easily build new collections styled after existing ones from material on the Web or from their local files-or both, and collections can be updated and new ones brought on-line at any time. The interface, which is intended for non-professional end users, is modeled after widely used commercial software installation packages. Lest one quail at the prospect of end users building their own collections on a shared system, we also describe an interface for the administrative user who is responsible for maintaining a digital library installation

A Minimal Time Solution to the Firing Squad Synchronization Problem with Von Neumann Neighborhood of Extent 2

Cellular automata provide a simple environment in which to study global behaviors. One example of a problem that utilizes cellular automata is the Firing Squad Synchronization Problem, first proposed in 1957. This paper provides an overview of the standard Firing Squad Synchronization Problem and a commonly used technique in solving it. This paper also provides a statement of a new extension of the Standard Firing Squad Synchronization Problem to a different neighborhood definition - a Von Neumann neighborhood of extent 2. An 8 state 651 rule minimal time solution to the extended problem is described, presented and proven, along with Python code used in running simulations of the solution

Factors Related to Ethnocultural Empathy Among White Counselor Education Faculty: Implications for African American Male Students.

Cultural competence represents a central element of the professional practices exhibited by professional counselors and counselor educators (CACREP, 2016). Inconsistent with the place it holds in the field, cultural competence has been minimally studied among those responsible for gatekeeping, teaching, supervision, and research – faculty. Among variables relevant to measurable outcomes is ethnocultural empathy (EE), ideal as it is described as a combination of empathic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors toward others with whom you have differences in cultural identities and experiences (Wang et al., 2003). This study sought to add to the body of literature on the cross-racial interactions between counselor education faculty and the diverse students enrolled in counselor-training programs. Specifically, emphasis was placed on interactions between faculty who identify as White and African American college men, by assessing the moderating role of openness to diversity (OTD) and direct social contact (DSC) in the relationship between White Racial Identity Attitudes (WRIA) and Ethnocultural Empathy (EE) in a sample of (N = 131) White faculty. Both high levels of OTD and DSC were found to moderate this relationship at some White racial identity statuses, but not all. Two primary implications exist for this study relevant to the field of professional counseling and counselor education. The first is increased academic outcomes among African American male counselors-in-training due to reduced implicit bias communication. The second is pertinent additions to the training of counselor educators to work competently with African American men
