EPIC:  A Proposed Model for Approaching Metadata Improvement (open access)

EPIC: A Proposed Model for Approaching Metadata Improvement

Abstract: This paper outlines iterative steps involved in metadata improvement within a digital library: Evaluate, Prioritize, Identify, and Correct (EPIC). The process involves evaluating metadata values system-wide to identify errors; prioritizing errors according to local criteria; identifying records containing a particular error; and correcting individual records to eliminate the error. Based on the experiences at the University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries, we propose that these cyclical steps can serve as a model for organizations that are planning and conducting metadata quality assessment.

Serge Jaroff and His Don Cossack Choir: The Refugees Who Took the World by Storm (open access)

Serge Jaroff and His Don Cossack Choir: The Refugees Who Took the World by Storm

This article discusses the history of the Don Cossack Choir which was established and conducted by Serge Jaroff while in a Turkish internment camp in 1920. Once liberated, they concertized throughout the non-Soviet world and enjoyed long-term success. However, the choir has received little scholarly attention, much of it in Dutch and Russian research.

Analysis of the Fe 2p XPS for hematite 𝛂 Fe2O3: Consequences of covalent bonding and orbital splittings on multiplet splittings (open access)

Analysis of the Fe 2p XPS for hematite 𝛂 Fe2O3: Consequences of covalent bonding and orbital splittings on multiplet splittings

Article analyzes the origins of the complex Fe 2p X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and is related to the character of the bonding in this compound. This analysis provides a new and novel view of the reasons for XPS binding energies (BEs) and BE shifts, which deepens the current understanding and interpretation of the physical and chemical significance of the XPS.

Hydrogen bonding interactions of H2O and SiOH on a boroaluminosilicate glass corroded in aqueous solution (open access)

Hydrogen bonding interactions of H2O and SiOH on a boroaluminosilicate glass corroded in aqueous solution

This article simulates hydrous species (H2O and Si-OH) on nano-porous alteration layers (gels) formed on a boroaluminosilicate glass called International Simple Glass corroded in aqueous solutions at pH 7 and pH 9, and initially saturated with soluble silicon-containing species were analyzed using linear and non-linear vibrational spectroscopy in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation and experimental results obtained in this study indicate that the water mobility in the gel formed at pH 9 could be slower than that in the gel formed at pH 7, and as a result, the leaching rate at pH 9 is slower than that at pH 7.

Excrescent vowels in Lamkang prefix sequences (open access)

Excrescent vowels in Lamkang prefix sequences

Article examines the nature of the super-short vowel-like segments between the C- prefixes of the Lamkang language by combining acoustic analysis with speakers' intuitions about syllable structure. The authors argue that an accurate phonetic description of Lamkang vowels must include these super-short vowels, as well as long and short vowels, which are phonemically distinct.
