Long fluid filled bags suspended by line forces
A previous analysis of fluid filled storage bags is extended to the case of a long fluid filled cylindrical membrane supported by uniform line loads. Cross-sectional shape, stiffness of the support system and stress resultants in the membrane are determined. The application of the numerical results to problems arising in the design of nonrigid airships is discussed
A national digital data policy for the United States: to be or not to be?
As countries worldwide are coming to terms with establishing a national data policy, the United States is approaching the issue in a piecemeal manner. With numerous federal, state and private agencies in control of funding, it is unlikely that a national policy will emerge for the United States in the near future. Regardless, efforts are moving forward on digital initiatives, including open access to scholarly publications, access to digital data-sets, creation of standards for data-set management, and national repositories for scanned images. Consortiums of research libraries such as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), Association of Research Libraries (ARL), Coalition of Networked Information (CNI) and the Digital Library Federation (DLF) are facing these issues and assisting with definition of challenges and options. Several not-for-profit agencies are investigating ways in which they can participate, including OCLC, JSTOR, Portico and LOCKSS. Commercial firms such as Google are establishing partnerships with research libraries. Major federal funding agencies including the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health have issued statements about the need for a digital policy. Federal agencies such as the National Archives and the Library of Congress are participating by actively managing massive amounts of data.
Although there is activity on numerous fronts, there is no forum for a nationally concerted effort. While it is unlikely that a national policy on digital management will emerge in the United States, it is likely that within five to ten years a patch-work quilt of digital policies will emerge.
This paper will explore issues faced by the scientific and technical disciplines and the collaborative approaches developing between the research and library communities to meet these challenges
Associate Dean for Research: Libraries commitment to Interdisciplinary/Collaborative Sponsored Research in the Libraries and throughout the University.
The research role of university librarians is changing. The advent of massive datasets by academic researchers has created the need for collaboration between the researchers and librarians. The National Science Foundation (USA) has recognized the need for management of massive datasets. In response, Purdue University Libraries has created a program and specific positions to help address this need

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Cardiovascular Pathophysiology
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease implicated in the premature onset of cardiovascular disease. SLE`s chronic activation of the immune system leads to inflammation, obstruction and vascular damage. The damage is most pronounced in SLE patients with a sedentary lifestyle and early onset of the disease. Understanding the pathogenesis, signs and symptoms of how SLE affects the cardiovascular system is important. Nurse practitioners play a vital role in the implementation of strategies to manage care and improve outcomes
