Research Data Curation Pilots: Lessons Learned
Get PDFIn the spring of 2011, the UC San Diego Research Cyberinfrastructure (RCI) Implementation Team invited researchers and research teams to participate in a research curation and data management pilot program. This invitation took the form of a campus-wide solicitation. More than two dozen applications were received and, after due deliberation, the RCI Oversight Committee selected five curation-intensive projects. These projects were chosen based on a number of criteria, including how they represented campus research, varieties of topics, researcher engagement, and the various services required. The pilot process began in September 2011, and will be completed in early 2014. Extensive lessons learned from the pilots are being compiled and are being used in the on-going design and implementation of the permanent Research Data Curation Program in the UC San Diego Library. In this paper, we present specific implementation details of these various services, as well as lessons learned. The program focused on many aspects of contemporary scholarship, including data creation and storage, description and metadata creation, citation and publication, and long term preservation and access. Based on the lessons learned in our processes, the Research Data Curation Program will provide a suite of services from which campus users can pick and choose, as necessary. The program will provide support for the data management requirements from national funding agencies
New Forearm Elements Discovered of Holotype Specimen Australovenator wintonensis from Winton, Queensland, Australia
Get PDFNew skeletal elements are reported of the holotype specimen Australovenator wintonensis, from the type locality, near Winton, central western Queensland. New elements include left and right humeri, right radius, right radiale, right distal carpal 1, near complete right metacarpal I, left manual phalanx II-1, left manual phalanx II-2, near complete left manual phalanx II-3 and a left manual phalanx III-3. These new elements combined with those previously described are compared against other neovenatorids
Post traumatic stress and debriefing in the emergency services.
Get PDFThe following theseis is divided into three separate parts. Part one
is a review of the current post traumatic stress literature. The
review outlines the development of the study of post-traumatic stress
from early wartime observations to the current focus on the effects
of disaster on both victims and emergency personnel. A number of
theoretical conceptualisations are offered to describe how a
proportion of those exposed to catastrophic events subsequently
develop a variety of disabling conditions. Implications for treatment
are discussed, emphasising the need for preventative and proactive
interventions. Finally, an alternative adaptive model of PTSD is
described in the context for future recommendations.
Part two of the thesis describes a study to explore the factors
associated with psychological distress in emergency workers following
involvement in critical incidents and to determine the efficacy of
psychological debriefing in the alleviation of such distress. The
study demonstrates that workers initially experience some distress as
a response to their work, but that this is typically short lived.
Important factors in predicting distress are poor social support,
knowing the incident victim and if the incident occurred over bot
