Facilitating User Access through the Extraction of Documents from Digital Archives

Poster presented at the 2019 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL-2019). This poster discusses about the University of North Texas' archive of government websites known as the CyberCemetery. The UNT Libraries have begun to extract documents embedded within the vast collection of web archives. Many of these documents include reports and transcripts from the various committees and agencies found in the collections. Through this project, the UNT Digital Library expands its role as a steward of digital resources in addition to making information easier to find.

Hidden Gems: A Partnership Between the Digitization Lab and Photography Studio Art at UNT

Poster presented at the 2019 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL-2019). This poster discusses how inter-departmental partnerships, particularly between UNT's Digital Libraries and Department of Photography and Studio Art can provide a win win collaborative environment for all parties involved. While the Digital Projects Lab can hire experienced photographers to operate and oversee its capturing system, as the same time MFA students can gain high level photography experiences in a real world project outside of the College of Visual Arts and Design which would help them diversify their skillset.

Leveraging Machine Learning to Extract Content-Rich Publications from Web Archives

Poster presented at the 2019 Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL-2019). This poster discusses about ways of Identifying content-rich documents among the wealth of materials available via web archives. This research attempts to answers the following two research questions: 1. What role do web-published documents and publications play in developing collections in the broad categories of institutional repositories, state government documents, and publications from the federal government? 2. What are the characteristics of web-published documents and publications that help content selectors identify them for inclusion in their local collection

Two Decades of Advances in Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Presentation for Texas Conference on Digital Libraries 2019. This presentation discusses several emerging trends and scenarios that change the directions of scholarship in general: ranging from the availability of interoperable Open Access contents to cross discipline collaborations, big data and global and explosive growth of social networking. In particular, this presentation provides ETDs evolution in the last twenty years and provide example using the UNT experience. As one of the early adopters of ETD in 1999, the closer look at UNT's ETD collection provide interesting data about the the overall change in ETD production, usages, including locations and types of devices users used to access the ETD collection.

Electrical and Thermal Conductivity of Polylactic Acid (PLA)-Based Biocomposites by Incorporation of Nano-Graphite Fabricated with Fused Deposition Modeling (open access)

Electrical and Thermal Conductivity of Polylactic Acid (PLA)-Based Biocomposites by Incorporation of Nano-Graphite Fabricated with Fused Deposition Modeling

This article describes a study to improve the electrical and thermal conductivity of the polylactic acid/wood flour/thermoplastic polyurethane composites by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). The results showed that, when the addition amount of nano-graphite reached 25 pbw, the volume resistivity of the composites decreased to 10⁸ Ω·m, which was a significant reduction, indicating that the conductive network was already formed. It also had good thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, and thermal stability.

Adherence to Exercise Programs in Older Adults: Informative Report (open access)

Adherence to Exercise Programs in Older Adults: Informative Report

This article focuses on filling information gaps regarding adherence to physical activity and exercise in the health care spectrum of older adults (OA) and an overview of the benefits of physical activity for OA. Exercise adherence in OA is a multifactorial problem encompassing many biopsychosocial factors. Factors affecting adherence in the OA include socioeconomic status, education level, living arrangements, health status, pacemakers, physical fitness, and depression. Improving adherence could have a significant impact on longevity, quality of life, and health care costs.

Rate Coefficient Measurements and Theoretical Analysis of the OH + (E)‑CF₃CH==CHCF₃ Reaction (open access)

Rate Coefficient Measurements and Theoretical Analysis of the OH + (E)‑CF₃CH==CHCF₃ Reaction

Rate coefficients, k, for the gas-phase reaction of the OH radical with (E)CF3CHCHCF3 ((E)-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, HFO-1336mzz(E)) were measured over a range of temperatures (211−374 K) and bath gas pressures (20−300 Torr; He, N2) using a pulsed laser photolysis−laser-induced fluorescence (PLP−LIF) technique. k1(T) was independent of pressure over this range of conditions with k1(296 K) = (1.31 ± 0.15) × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1 and k1(T) = (6.94 ± 0.80) × 10−13exp[−(496 ± 10)/T] cm 3 molecule−1 s−1, where the uncertainties are 2σ, and the pre-exponential term includes estimated systematic error. Rate coefficients for the OD reaction were also determined over a range of temperatures (262−374 K) at 100 Torr (He). The OD rate coefficients were ∼15% greater than the OH values and showed similar temperature dependent behavior with k2(T) = (7.52 ± 0.44) × 10−13exp[−(476 ± 20)/T] and k2(296 K) = (1.53 ± 0.15) × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1. The rate coefficients for reaction 1 were also measured using a relative rate technique between 296 and 375 K with k1(296 K) measured to be (1.22 ± 0.1) × 10−13 cm3 molecule−1 s−1, in agreement with the PLP−LIF results. In addition, the 296 K rate coefficient for the O3 +( E)CF3CHCHCF3 reaction …

Development and use of a switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) transformation pipeline by the BioEnergy Science Center to evaluate plants for reduced cell wall recalcitrance (open access)

Development and use of a switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) transformation pipeline by the BioEnergy Science Center to evaluate plants for reduced cell wall recalcitrance

Article examines the creation of a transformation pipeline (TP) to produce plants with decreased recalcitrance and a laboratory information management system (LIMS) for data compilation from these plants. While many genes accepted into the TP resulted in transgenic switchgrass without modified lignin or biomass content, a group of genes with potential to improve lignocellulosic biofuel yields was identified. Results from transgenic lines targeting xyloglucan and lignin structure provide examples of the types of information available on switchgrass lines produced within BioEnergy Science Center (BESC).
