Rural Libraries of Romania, Libraries and the Information Infrastructure of Rural Romania
In May 2005 faculty and students from Emporia State University and Ball State University visited Lunca Ilvei, a small mountain village in rural Romania, to gather qualitative information on its information infrastructure. Researchers interviewed diverse village residents, taking field notes, documenting field observations, and conducting surveys, all recorded photographically.
This paper focuses on Lunca Ilvei’s libraries and how they fit into the village’s information structure. It reports on the research findings and suggests ways to help village residents address their information needs
Self-Diffusion and Collective Diffusion of Charged colloids Studied by Dynamic Light Scattering
A microemulsion of decane droplets stabilized by a non-ionic surfactant film
is progressively charged by substitution of a non-ionic surfactant molecule by
a cationic surfactant. We check that the microemulsion droplets remain
identical within the explored range of volume fraction (0.02 to 0.18) and of
the number of charge per droplets (0 to 40) . We probe the dynamics of these
microemulsions by dynamic light scattering. Despite the similar structure of
the uncharged and charged microemulsions the dynamics are very different . In
the neutral microemulsion the fluctuations of polarization relax, as is well
known, via the collective diffusion of the droplets. In the charged
microemulsions, two modes of relaxation are observed. The fast one is ascribed
classically to the collective diffusion of the charged droplets coupled to the
diffusion of the counterions. The slow one has, to our knowledge, not been
observed previously neither in similar microemulsions nor in charged spherical
colloids. We show that the slow mode is also diffusive and suggest that its
possible origine is the relaxation of local charge fluctuations via local
exchange of droplets bearing different number of charges . The diffusion
coefficient associated with this mode is then the self diffusion coefficient of
the droplets
Annotated bibliography of software engineering laboratory literature
An annotated bibliography is presented of technical papers, documents, and memorandums produced by or related to the Software Engineering Laboratory. The bibliography was updated and reorganized substantially since the original version (SEL-82-006, November 1982). All materials were grouped into eight general subject areas for easy reference: (1) The Software Engineering Laboratory; (2) The Software Engineering Laboratory: Software Development Documents; (3) Software Tools; (4) Software Models; (5) Software Measurement; (6) Technology Evaluations; (7) Ada Technology; and (8) Data Collection. Subject and author indexes further classify these documents by specific topic and individual author
