This article uses 41 Landsat images between 1988 and 2016 to calculate the normalized difference vegetation indices (NVDIs) of the wetland vegetation at Xitugou (XTG) and Wowachi (WWC) inside the Dunhuang Yangguan National Nature Reserve in northwest China in order to assess the impacts of climate change on wetland vegetation.

Brief history of name authority in the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries' Digital Collections, including the development and use of a local name authority database for creators associated with the UNT community. This text was part of the article "Who Is This: Moving from Authority Control to Identity Management" published in the May/June 2018 issue of AALL Spectrum.

This article describes how the 3Dhotbed project (an acronym for “3D Printed History of the Book Education”) harnesses maker culture to advance book history instruction by providing open-access 3D data through a digital library platform.

This document is part of a series of white papers on various copyright issues. Fair use is a powerful tool for people who want to use and expand on copyrighted works. Fair use is special among the other copyright exceptions because it isn’t specifically targeted at one kind of use. Instead, fair use is purposely open ended to permit many different kinds of uses. One downside of this however, is that it can be difficult for anyone — lawyer and nonlawyer alike — to figure what is/isn’t fair use under the law. This white paper attempts to review the fair use statute, go over its famous “four factor test,” and offers some suggestions about how to think through each part.

In this article, yttrium segregation behavior in Al-Si alloys has been studied using the three-dimensional atom probe tomography technique. Al-Si alloys were prepared by casting method, and yttrium was added to modify the eutectic silicon morphology in these alloys. The results indicated that yttrium is preferentially located within the Si phase, with the highest concentration at the interface between eutectic Al and eutectic Si.

This article presents the calculation of the surface tension of ordinary organic and ionic liquids, based on a computer algorithm applying a refined group-additivity method.

This article posits that the frequently abrupt environmental changes accompanying much longer-term general climate change require consideration of the true nature of environmental change coupled with an expansion of focus to consider developmental phenotypic plasticity.

This article outlines a model of strategic shareholder voting that allows outside shareholders to mitigate the influence of insiders.

Article describes study in which observational analysis was used to evaluate the relationships between variables measured at the start of the men’s 110 hurdles event and race performance itself.

The article examines the most recent trajectory research, and highlights the importance of developing a broader model for patient evaluation. Traditionally, there has been a widely accepted notion that the transition from acute to chronic pain follows a linear trajectory, where an injury leads to acute episodes, subacute stages, and progresses to a chronic pain condition. However, it appears that pain progression is much more complicated and individualized than this original unsupported assumption.

Article presented at the Eleventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2018). The study investigates spatial information of tweets whereby the authors present a corpus of tweets annotated with temporally-anchored spatial information involving the author.

This article emphasizes that 1/f noise has two different origins, one compatible with Laplace determinism and one determined by unpredictable crucial events.

Article describes study which examines the intersectionality between professional identities and race/ethnicity among Latina/o school leaders.

This article describes how residents in urban food deserts access food, the barriers they experience in accessing nutritious, affordable food, and how community food insecurity exacerbates prior social, built, and economic stressors.

Article describing name authority practices in institutional repositories at three universities -- University of North Texas, Texas A&M University, and the University of Arizona -- and how processes have been adapted in digital libraries to incorporate or be more compatible with linked data.
