Video recording of the fourth webinar from the Oral History Forum. The theme of the last webinar of the series explores innovative uses of oral history collections and pushes for equitable access to oral history collections.

Article describes how memory allocation and management have a significant impact on performance and energy of modern applications. The authors observe that performance can vary by as much as 72% in some applications based on which memory allocator is used, and in this paper, the authors make a case for offloading memory allocation (and other similar management functions) from main processing cores to other processing units to boost performance, reduce energy consumption, and customize services to specific applications or application domains.

This article explains the immediate and long-term benefits of service to new librarians. It also covers finding and selecting service opportunities, serving effectively in those roles, and documenting service activities. This is the accepted manuscript version of the article.

Presentation highlighting the Trans Accessible Libraries Initiative at the University of North Texas Libraries. The Trans Accessible Libraries Initiative aims to remove some of the barriers trans individuals face accessing information and to provide more equitable access to our services and collections. The presentation shares the different phases of the project with guidance for others looking to start similar initiatives at their library, even if there is little administrative support.

Article discusses how, based on recent studies, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are expected to possess advantageous photothermal properties and facilitate fluorescence image-tracking in the visible and near-infrared (NIR), while surpassing other graphene-based materials in their biocompatibility. The combination of the photothermal and imaging modalities tested in vitro makes the GQDs developed in this work prospective agents for cancer theragnostics.

Article discusses how breast and cervical cancers remain the most common cancers and the leading cause of cancer deaths in Ghana. Authors state that there is a need for liaison psychiatrists and health psychologists to assist oncologists to provide psychological support such as free and routine counselling services for cancer patients and their caregivers.

Article describes how the study investigates the practice of data-driven decision-making in higher education institutions in Ethiopia. It then presents the results of a mixed-methods investigation that was conducted at two public universities in Ethiopia.

Article describes how monitoring immunological response to physical stressors in a field setting is challenging because existing methods require a laboratory visit and traditional blood collection via venipuncture. The purpose of this study was to determine if our optimized dry blood spot (DBS) methodology yields sufficient total RNA to quantify the effect of Baker's Yeast Beta Glucan supplementation on post-exercise mRNA expression.

Article describes how this study was aiming at enhancing the stain resistance and durability of varnish on wood surfaces, a super hydrophobic solution was created by blending the synthetic ZIF-8/paraffin with Hexadecyltrimethoxysilane at a specified mass ratio. This superhydrophobic mixture was then directly applied onto the wood varnish coating using a one-step method.

Article describes how pseudocapacitive storage of multivalent ions, especially Ca2+, in heteroatom-doped carbon nanomaterials is promising to achieve both high energy and power densities, but there is the lack of pseudocapacitive theories that enable rational design of the materials for calcium-ion batteries.
