Putting DEIA into Practice: Incorporating Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility into Student Employee Training
Abstract Purpose
This paper describes the process of developing training for student employees at a reference desk in which students assist peers and others in the community with research help. Design/methodology/approach
This case study details the process as well as the challenges in developing training that is helpful for student employees in performing day-to-day tasks at a reference desk and incorporates diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) and high-impact practices (HIPs). Findings
Training for student employees that prepares them for library work and incorporates DEIA and HIPs can be developed. These ideas can be incorporated into training for all library employees, not just students. Practical implications
This article aims to assist others in developing training for front-line student employees that incorporates DEIA and recognizes the importance of HIPs. Originality/value
DEIA and HIPs are considered throughout the development and implementation of training for student employees. Librarians have been training student employees to assist their peers with research for many years. This approach goes beyond the training that is needed to do a job and takes DEIA and student development through HIPs into account
Soaring into the Future of Chat Reference: Assessing for Quality in Cooperative Chat Reference
Online reference allows for libraries to join cooperatives to provide chat reference when local librarians are not available, far extending the hours assistance is available to patrons. As the future brings more cross institutional collaboration, how do we know that cooperative chat is effective for our patrons? Librarians at one institution worked to develop a rubric to assess chat transcripts for the quality of services provided. Over one academic term, these librarians assessed chat transcripts answered by academic librarians from other libraries. This poster will share the rubric used to assess transcripts, research methods, and initial findings from collected data
Crafting the Future of Chat Reference: Assessing for Quality in Cooperative Chat Reference
Online reference allows libraries to join cooperatives in which other librarians provide chat reference when local librarians are not available. As the future brings more cross institutional collaboration, how do we know that cooperative chat is effective for our patrons? Librarians developed a rubric to assess chat transcripts for the quality of services provided by librarians outside their institution. Presenters will share the results of their assessment, the steps they took to develop the assessment questions, the rubric used, the assessment process, and lessons learned. Attendees will develop an understanding of how to assess reference for quality to improve services
Condensation of vortices in the X-Y model in 3d: a disorder parameter
A disorder parameter is constructed which signals the condensation of
vortices. The construction is tested by numerical simulations.Comment: 9 pages, 5 postscript figures, typset using REVTE
Updated tests of scaling and universality for the spin-spin correlations in the 2D and 3D spin-S Ising models using high-temperature expansions
We have extended, from order 12 through order 25, the high-temperature series
expansions (in zero magnetic field) for the spin-spin correlations of the
spin-S Ising models on the square, simple-cubic and body-centered-cubic
lattices. On the basis of this large set of data, we confirm accurately the
validity of the scaling and universality hypotheses by resuming several tests
which involve the correlation function, its moments and the exponential or the
second-moment correlation-lengths.Comment: 21 pages, 8 figure

Fractal modeling of natural fracture networks. Final report, June 1994--June 1995
Recovery from naturally fractured, tight-gas reservoirs is controlled by the fracture network. Reliable characterization of the actual fracture network in the reservoir is severely limited. The location and orientation of fractures intersecting the borehole can be determined, but the length of these fractures cannot be unambiguously determined. Fracture networks can be determined for outcrops, but there is little reason to believe that the network in the reservoir should be identical because of the differences in stresses and history. Because of the lack of detailed information about the actual fracture network, modeling methods must represent the porosity and permeability associated with the fracture network, as accurately as possible with very little apriori information. Three rather different types of approaches have been used: (1) dual porosity simulations; (2) `stochastic` modeling of fracture networks, and (3) fractal modeling of fracture networks. Stochastic models which assume a variety of probability distributions of fracture characteristics have been used with some success in modeling fracture networks. The advantage of these stochastic models over the dual porosity simulations is that real fracture heterogeneities are included in the modeling process. In the sections provided in this paper the authors will present fractal analysis of the MWX site, using the box-counting procedure; (2) review evidence testing the fractal nature of fracture distributions and discuss the advantages of using their fractal analysis over a stochastic analysis; (3) present an efficient algorithm for producing a self-similar fracture networks which mimic the real MWX outcrop fracture network
Disseny i implementaci o d'una plataforma experimental per al desenvolupament de simulacions Power Hardware in the Loop
En aquest projecte es presenta el disseny, la implementació i la validació d’una
plataforma
experimental per al desenvolupament de simulacions utilitzant la tècnica PHIL (Power Hardware in
the Loop).
Una simulaci´o PHIL consisteix en modelar i simular un sistema elèctric en temps real mitjançant
programari especĂfic i afegir-hi en un dels seus nodes un element real on els resultats de la
simulaciĂł hi seran emulats. Al mateix temps, el comportament mesurat en aquest component serĂ
incorporat a la següent iteració de la simulació, tancant el llaç. La principal aplicació
d’aquest tipus d’estudi ´es saber com afecten les possibles contingències que es poden produir en
una xarxa elèctrica sobre un component del qual no es disposa d’un model matemà tic conegut i, al
mateix temps, veure l’efecte que aquest element tindrà sobre la resta del sistema.
Per tal de poder implementar aquesta plataforma s’ha de simular un sistema elèctric en temps real
per obtenir i enviar les condicions que s’hauran d’aplicar sobre el component real. En aquest
projecte s’ha utilitzat el Power Systems Simulation for Engineering (PSS®E) per a la simulaci´o i
el protocol TCP/IP sobre ethernet per enviar les dades. Al mateix temps, s’han d’utilitzar
convertidors d'electrònica de potència que, amb un control dissenyat adequadament, seran capaços
de sintetitzar la tensió rebuda de la simulació. En aquest cas s’ha utilitzat un equip de dos
convertidors VSC (Voltage Source Converter ) de 10 kVA de potència nominal en configuració
back-to-back.
En aquest projecte, a m'és a més de fer-se un estudi previ de les simulacions PHIL i dels seus
principals components, s’han estudiat els convertidors de potència que cal emprar aixà com el
disseny del seu control mitjançant simulacions amb el programari Matlab Simulink®. Finalment, s’ha
implementat una plataforma experimental on s’han comprovat els resultats obtinguts a partir de
l’estudi previ i s’han executat simulacions PHIL per comprovar-ne el seu correcte
funcionament i el seu potencial per a futurs estudis

Precise determination of critical exponents and equation of state by field theory methods
Renormalization group, and in particular its Quantum Field Theory
implementation has provided us with essential tools for the description of the
phase transitions and critical phenomena beyond mean field theory. We therefore
review the methods, based on renormalized phi^4_3 quantum field theory and
renormalization group, which have led to a precise determination of critical
exponents of the N-vector model (R. Guida and J. Zinn-Justin, J. Phys. A31
(1998) 8103. cond-mat/9803240). and of the equation of state of the 3D Ising
model (R. Guida and J. Zinn-Justin, Nucl. Phys. B489 [FS] (1997) 626,
hep-th/9610223.). These results are among the most precise available probing
field theory in a non-perturbative regime.Comment: 23 pages, tex, private macros, one figur
