Pressbooks and Associated Technologies: Innovative Projects, Creating and Publishing Books by Libraries

This panel presentation shares innovative ways to engage patrons from a variety of library types and patrons including students, faculty, and teachers. In one case study, Winona State University has collaboratively published three books written by graduate students in Leadership Education. WSU used a variety of technologies, one of which is Pressbooks. Fortunately WSU has supported and has access to the subscription level Pressbooks through the statewide subscription available by Minnesota Libraries Publishing Project (MLPP) initiative. In addition to Pressbooks, Canva, Ingramspark, Adobe Creative Cloud, and bepress Digital Commons are all used in our process to create and publish print and ebooks written and edited by our graduate students. This process can be replicated in a variety of ways with alternative platforms

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for the CMB

We investigate the statistics of the cosmic microwave background using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. We show that, when we correctly de-correlate the data, the partition function of the Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter is compatible with the Kolmogorov distribution and, contrary to previous claims, the CMB data are compatible with Gaussian fluctuations with the correlation function given by standard Lambda-CDM. We then use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to derive upper bounds on residual point source power in the CMB, and indicate the promise of this statistics for further datasets, especially Planck, to search for deviations from Gaussianity and for detecting point sources and Galactic foregrounds.Comment: Improved significance of the results (which remain unchanged) by using patches instead of ring segments in the analysis. Added sky maps of the Kolmogorov-parameter for original and de-correlated CMB ma

How does maximal aerobic capacity predict the performance of ROTC cadets on the ACFT

The Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT) is a newly developed test that assesses the combat readiness of U.S. Army soldiers. Maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) characteristics vary between soldiers and have the ability to affect performance outcomes. The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine if VO2max can predict performance outcomes of the ACFT in ROTC cadets. Methods: ROTC cadets (44 males, 15 females; aged 21.06 ± 3.6 years) completed the 6-event ACFT (3-repetition maximum trap-bar deadlift [MDL], standing power toss [SPT], hand-release pushups [HRPU], sprint-drag-carry shuttle run [SDC], plank [PLK], and 2-mile run [2MR]). The cadets were invited into the laboratory to conduct a maximal treadmill running test following the Bruce protocol. The ability for VO2max (mL·kg-1·min-1) to predict ACFT performance was determined with a linear regression model. Significance was set at p \u3c 0.05. Results: VO2max was significantly and positively correlated to MDL (r = .301, p = .018), HRP (r = .525, p \u3c .001), SDC (r = .573, p \u3c .001), PLK (r = .668, p \u3c .001) 2MR (r = .642, p \u3c .001) and overall ACFT score (r = .666, p \u3c .001) except MDL (r = -.021, p = .920), SPT (r = -.173, p = .408), HRP (r = .280, p = .175). VO2max significantly explained 43% (p = .001) of the variance on the total ACFT scores with a beta coefficient of 4.911. Conclusion: There is a gap in the understanding of how VO2max impacts performance in the newly implemented ACFT. VO2max is a predictor of the ACFT total and significantly correlates with the MDL, HRP, SDC, PLK, and 2MR. VO2max did not correlate with the individual event SPT. For every .715 mL·kg-1·min-1 increase in VO2max, ACFT total scores increased by 4.911 points. These findings create the need for further research due to the majority of U.S. Army personnel failing the PLK and 2MR, which can be associated with an insignificant aerobic capacity

Body Adiposity Index Superior to Body Mass Index in Predicting Adiposity in Army ROTC Cadets

The Army’s standards to assess body composition were established in the 1960s. The current body composition assessment is due for change as there are newer alternate methods to assess body composition using adiposity. Body Mass Index (BMI) is moderately correlated with % body fat and often used to assess obesity in the general population. The Body Adiposity Index (BAI) is an alternative anthropometric measurement suggested to be superior to BMI at predicting adiposity, but has not been well assessed within military populations. PURPOSE: The purpose of this correlational study was to determine the accuracy of the BMI overweight category as a measure of fatness in ROTC cadets, and to determine if BAI is a superior predictor of % body fat to BMI. METHODS: ROTC cadets were invited into the laboratory for measurements of height, weight, and body fat via BOD POD. Bodyfat above 33% was considered overfat and BMI \u3e25 kg/m2 was considered overweight. BAI was calculated as (Hip Circumference/Height1.5)–18. Pearson correlation determined the strength of relationships. RESULTS: 83 collegiate-aged (20.91 ± 3.37 yr.) ROTC cadets with an average BMI of 24.85 ± 4.87 kg/m2 and % body fat of 23.69 ± 5.95 participated in the study. BMI and BAI significantly predicted % body fat (r = .508, p \u3c 0.001, r = .482, p \u3c 0.001, respectively). When using BMI to determine overfat, 4% (n = 2) of ROTC cadets had a false positive (overweight, normal fat) and 10% (n = 5) had a false negative (normal weight, overfat). BMI predicts 25.8% of body fat and BAI predicts 23.2% of body fat. Because BMI and BAI are statistically similar, both are good predictors of % body fat. Conclusion: Due to the army’s outdated recent measures of body composition, alternative methods could improve quality and consistency of assessments in the future with the use of BMI and BAI
