Abstract:
The programming languages have always been a useful tool for sustainability and continuity of advancements in multilayered fields as like education and common industries. PHP is a widespread instrument which has an important place in this practices just like many other programming languages. This research is conducted to understand PHP language better and to increase academical familiarity about it. In the end of this practice a basic PHP library for further use has been produced as a representation of the research which has been conducted. This library allows the user to create multivariate basic graphs for visualization of variable different data and it’s hoped that it will be used by further educational and business purposes by various individuals.

Abstract:

This master thesis is about building an adaptive library based on a platform independent model, which represents a conceptual design realizing the functional requirements being independent of the technologies and software architectures changes.

This adaptive library is a model, which has a higher level of abstraction than the code that we will generate afterwards, generalizes the solution of those problems that can be resolved using different implementations that uses different kinds of data structures.

In addition the higher level of abstraction that this adaptive library is having will give a speed up in developing the application and higher quality solution because of the maintainability and reusability. This solution is going to have the propriety to be changed easily in order to solve different concrete problems.

Abstract:
With the enormous amount of information being created digitally or converted to digital formats and made available through Digital Libraries (DLs), there is a strong demand for building tailored DL services to attend the preferences and needs of diverse targeted communities. However,construction and adaptation of such services takes significant effort when not assisted by methodologies, tools, and environments that support the complete life cycle of DL development,including requirements gathering, conceptual modeling, rapid prototyping, and code generation/reuse. With current systems, these activities are only partially supported, generally in an uncorrelated way that may lead to inconsistencies and incompleteness. Moreover, such existing approaches are not buttressed by comprehensive and formal foundations and theories. To address these issues we describe the development, implementation, and deployment of a new generic digital library generator yielding implementations of digital library services from models of DL â societiesâ and â scenariosâ . The distinct aspects of our solution are: 1) an approach based on a formal, theoretical framework; 2) use of state-of-the-art database and software engineering techniques such as domain-specific declarative languages, scenario-synthesis, and componentized and model-driven architectures; 3) analysis centered on scenario-based design and DL societal relationships; 4) automatic transformations and mappings from scenarios to workflow designs and from these to Java implementations; and 5) special attention paid to issues of simplicity of implementation, modularity, reusability, and extensibility. We demonstrate the feasibility of the approach through a number of examples.

Abstract:
Le nombre de transistors des processeurs, ainsi que leur frequence, ont suivi la loi de Moore pendant plusieurs decennies, au prix d'une complexite croissante des architectures. La recente de l'accroissement en frequence a notamment deux consequences: le parallelisme est desormais un des seuls vecteurs de gain de performances, et la chaine de compilation ainsi que le systeme d'exploitation sont indispensables pour l'obtention automatique de ces performances. Du a la complexite des mecanismes architecturaux difficiles a modeliser de facon realiste, les compilateurs restent cependant loin de pouvoir generer automatiquement des applications hautes performances, meme pour un seul core. Le travail que nous presentons se focalise sur d'une part l'optimisation et la generation de bibliotheques hautes performances et leur reutilisation automatique dans un contexte applicatif, d'autre part, sur l'evaluation et la modelisation des performances an de guider l'optimisation. Les resultats de ces travaux sont suivis de perspectives de recherche.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the interaction between marketing practice and strategy and resource allocation in Scottish public library services. It focuses, in particular, on the period immediately prior to local government reorganisation in 1996. The historical framework within which public libraries have developed is described. So, too, is the political environment within which the libraries operate. A review of the literature indicates that, although there are examples of good practice with regard to libraries undertaking market research to ascertain the needs of their users, and potential users, many authorities could make improvements in this area. Similarly, the literature suggests that more could be achieved in other ways to ensure that libraries are more efficient, effective and responsive to user needs, and that some of the more systematic and aggressive approaches to fund-raising that are evident in the U.S.A. could be employed to advantage in Scotland. The results of a survey that was undertaken in 1996 support the view that Scottish public libraries could make better use of marketing techniques with a view to targeting the funds they have available and generating additional income. Existing, published, research has drawn attention to the significance of population size with regard to the efficiency of Scottish public libraries. Statistics published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) indicate the relevance of the size of local authorities in terms of the amount of income and expenditure per person. This thesis shows that population size is also a significant factor with regard to the use of marketing techniques and the range of ways in which library services generate income.

In this thesis, I designed three open source Python libraries with the intention of creating a robust system that can accurately generate synthetic data. The goals of this thesis were to separate the different components in synthetic data generation into their own libraries. We identified these components as consisting of a way to transform the data, a way to model the data, and a way to recursively traverse the data set to model the relationships between the table as well as the data set itself. Once the libraries were implemented and functioning, we designed a program to run the synthetic data generation process in parallel on subsets of the original data. The goal of this program was to see if the overall modeling time could be reduced by modeling subsets in parallel and then averaging the parameters. In the end, we test how close these averaged parameters are to the original to see if this is a valid modeling technique.

Abstract:

In todayâ s ever-changing world of technology and information, a growing number of organizations and universities seek to store digital documents in an online, accessible manner. These digital library (DL) repositories are powerful systems that allow institutions to store their digital documents while permitting interaction and collaboration among users in their organizations. Despite the continual work on DL systems that can produce out-of-the-box online repositories, the installation, configuration, and customization processes of these systems are still far from straightforward.

Motivated by the arduous process of designing digital library instances; installing software packages like DSpace and Greenstone; and configuring, customizing, and populating such systems, we have developed an XML-based model for specifying the nature of DSpace digital libraries. The ability to map out a digital library to be created in a straightforward, XML-based way allows for the integration of such a specification with other DL tools. To make use of DL specifications for DSpace, we create a DL generator that uses these models of digital library systems to create, configure, customize, and populate DLs as specified. We draw heavily on previous work in understanding the nature of digital libraries from the 5S framework for digital libraries. This divides the concerns of digital libraries into a complex, formal representation of the elements that are basic to any minimal digital library system including Streams, Structures, Spaces, Scenarios, and Societies. We reflect on this previous work and provide a fresh application of the 5S framework to practical DL systems. Given our specification and generation process, we draw conclusions towards a more general model that would be suitable to characterize any DL platform with one specification.

We present this DSpace DL specification language and generator as an aid to DL designers and others interested in easing the specification of DSpace digital libraries. We believe that our method will not only enable users to create DLs more easily, but also gain a greater understanding about their desired DL structure, software, and digital libraries in general.

Full text
Abstract:
This study investigated the expectations of Millennials in relation to academic library service provision, and compared these with the skills and competencies of subject librarians, to identify gaps in service delivery and present strategies by which these gaps could be addressed. The research took place at a time when the role, and perceived benefit, of libraries and information professionals were under scrutiny during a climate of budget cuts and in view of increased university tuition fees. Four UK universities participated in a study using qualitative and quantitative methods. A web-based survey of Millennials, based on the LibQUAL + measurement instrument, identified generational characteristics and service expectations from 410 respondents. On line focus groups with 13 Millennials were used to explore trends and issues identified from the survey data. Finally, 53 subject librarians at the same four institutions took part in a web-based survey to identify their skills, competencies, roles and responsibilities and these were compared with student expectations. Findings illustrated that the sample of Millennials were 'wired' to the networked world, that technology forms an integral part of their study technique, and that it has shaped their outlook, behaviour and expectations. The role of the subject librarian has evolved and subject librarians are increasingly required to provide learner support - often in virtual or electronic environments. They have acquired the skills to do so primarily through experiential, on-the-job, development. Three models were developed to illustrate a spiral of heightening and widening student expectations driven by technology use; an emergent paradigm of education that has been shaped by technology; and the skillsets required by next-generation blended librarians positioned to provide effective learner support to Millennials.

Abstract:
Modern Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can implement entire run-time reconfigurable systems using partial reconfiguration. Module-based run-time reconfiguration permits the construction of custom applications at run-time using pre-compiled Intellectual Property (IP) from a module library. The need for both flexible module placement and custom inter-module communication is mostly ignored by existing modular run-time reconfiguration approaches and few existing tool flows for module generation address the need for automation. This thesis introduces an automated compile-time tool flow for generating dynamic modules that allow flexible run-time placement and communication synthesis.

Abstract:
In an accelerating Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) environment, academic libraries’ catalogs have always been part of students’ and faculty members journey of resources discovery. The master thesis intents to focus its interest in Information Systems (IS) ground related to the implementation of a new search engine at the University of Piraeus Library. The Library wants to change the search features of its traditional online services and to implement a new discover tool with Web 2.0 characteristics. The aim of this master thesis is to investigate users’ views and desires interest according to their scholarly needs and expectations about VuFind in order to facilitate the Library to customize the integration. Therefore, critical systems theory will be employed for “therapeutic” reasons to enlighten the Library’s users about their current situation. Qualitative analysis is expected to recognize discrimination against traditional Library’s search engines. Qualitative data of the user impression and reaction when operate with the VuFind interface will lead to recommendations for enhancement and improvements. Findings will assist implementers to modify the discovery layer by meeting users’ needs of the academia community. The research will collect data through qualitative method on how participants operate with the VuFind search engine merging librarians’ professional views and users’ expectations and propositions. Participatory Design (PD) will be built upon Future Workshop method.

Full text
Abstract:
In the fast growing field of high-level synthesis, very little attention has been paid to the areas where core synthesis tools must interact with their immediate environment. Library modelling, netlist generation and design visualisation are the three interfaces that have been neglected at the expense of advances in core synthesis tools. This thesis addresses this problem by looking at these primary interfaces and developing the ideas and tools that are needed to provide significant improvements over and above interfaces used by existing systems. Most of the results of this work has been embodied in the development of the SAGE high-level synthesis system, whose most significant difference between existing high-level synthesis systems is that the electronic design engineer is able to direct the process of synthesis to a very fine degree of granularity. The main vehicle that has helped achieve this is the visibility of design information through graphical representations with which a designer is able to directly interact. This is in stark contrast to the purely automatic approaches of many synthesis systems, whose only support in heading towards the desired solution tends to be in the form of restarting a synthesis session from scratch. As well as the interfaces themselves, support tools in the form of sound software building blocks combined with software frameworks around which solid interfaces can be built are equally important. Without them, the interfaces would be concepts without proof in reality. Consequently, an equally important problem that this thesis addresses is the development of the necessary tools that can ensure this can happen.

Abstract:
Sophistication of technology has resulted in libraries having to manage print, digital and electronic resources. Managing all resource types and formats with traditional integrated library systems is ineffective as the systems were designed for physical resources. Next generation library management systems are expected to change this by integrating all library resources and providing access through a single platform, reducing the number of transaction the user has to perform. Additionally libraries will save large proportions of their budgets on hardware and software, as the systems are accessed through a web browser this will be an added benefit for libraries as the cost of acquiring electronic resources is continuously increasing. Next generation library management systems are not yet implemented in academic libraries in the Western Cape Province. To investigate the reasons for this, the author employed a qualitative case study approach in which a minimum of two members of the Executive Management of each of the four Cape Library Consortium institutions were interviewed. Data collected was analysed using NVivo analysis software, responses being analysed within the institution and compared across the other institutions.

Abstract:

The project examines the information seeking behaviour of a small group of so-called Generation Y students at the Stellenbosch University as they undertake an academic 
assignment. There is consensus across the world that universities need to adapt to the needs of Generation Y students, brought up with high-level information technology, the internet and social networking. However, research shows that this does not mean that they are information literate. They have high-tech skills but often do not know how to analyse an information need or discriminate between information sources. Information scientist Carol Kuhlthau develop the ISP model upon which the study was based. Her model sees information seeking as a complex cognitive and affective process. Successful seekers have learned how to manage the process. University libraries need to adapt their information retrieval systems and services to meet the needs of their new kinds of students. The study, a small-scale intensive qualitative case study, hopes to provide insight into how they might do this. The researcher collected data while the participants were writing the assignment. Data gathering methods included interviews, journal writings and questionnaires.

Magister Bibliothecologiae - MBibl
The use and design of library spaces in higher education is a theme that has come to the forefront of user needs in the past few years. Academic libraries are redesigning their spaces to accommodate the 21st century user. The 21st century user is often labeled as Generation Y and requires a different set of knowledge and skills. In today’s knowledge economy, core skills include creativity, problem solving and collaboration. Libraries are creating space to accommodate the needs of these new users. They are developing group work areas, relaxation or pause areas, technology hubs and discussion rooms. This study has investigated how to redesign academic libraries, using Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT) Cape Town branch as a pilot study. The researcher used the concept of library "as place" or "3ʳᵈ place" as a theory. The framework interrogated the ten qualities of a good library space. The researcher used a mixed method research design to conduct this study. A questionnaire of which multiple copies were made, interviews and internal statistics were used to gather data. The results of the study reflected that the library is functional, can be adapted, the space is accessible and varied, it is conducive to motivating and inspiring people, it does promote interactivity between users and library services, and is environmentally suitable, flexible and has a wow factor. All of these characteristics conform to McDonald’s ten qualities of a good library space.

An experimental study was performed to determine the effects on Corona Phase Molecular Recognition (CoMoRe) of bioconjugating a host of small molecules to DNA wrapped single-walled carbon nanotubes. In addition, the study observed the effects of the DNA sequence length on the subsequent effectiveness of the small molecules to alter the corona phase. The conjugation of small molecules was shown to alter both the intensity and the position of the fluorescence and absorbance profile. The length of the DNA sequence was found to change the small molecule's ability to alter the fluorecence spectra of the wrapped nanotubes. The EDC/sulfo-NHS reaction was done to conjugate the small molecules to two identical DNA sequences with varying lengthes. Through the methods of ultraviolet-visibile-near infrared absorption spectroscopy, near infrared fluorescence spectroscopy, and high-performance liquid chromatography characterization and structural analysis were performed. The results showed the successful conjugation of the small molecules to the amino-modified DNA and an alteration in the corona phase. The small molecules were found to bind to the DNA at multiple locations and the length of the sequence was found to have an effect on the corona phase.

Personalized on-demand robots have a vast potential to impact daily life and change how people interact with technology, but so far this potential has remained largely untapped. Building robots is typically restricted to experts due to the extensive knowledge, experience, and resources required. This thesis aims to remove these barriers with an end-to-end system for intuitively designing robots from high-level specifications. By describing an envisioned structure or behavior, casual users can immediately build and use a robot for their task. The presented work encourages users to treat robots for physical tasks as they would treat software for computational tasks. By simplifying the design process and fostering an iterative approach, it moves towards the proliferation of on-demand custom robots that can address applications including education, healthcare, disaster aid, and everyday life. Users can intuitively compose modular components from an integrated library into complex electromechanical devices. The system provides design feedback, performs verification, makes any required modifications, and then co-designs the underlying subsystems to generate wiring instructions, mechanical drawings, microcontroller code for autonomous behavior, and user interface software. The current work features printable origami-inspired foldable robots as well as general electromechanical devices, and is extensible to many fabrication techniques. Building upon this foundation, tools are provided that allow users to describe functionality rather than structure, simulate robot systems, and explore design spaces to achieve behavioral guarantees. The presented system allows non-engineering users to rapidly fabricate customized robots, facilitating the proliferation of robots in everyday life. It thereby marks an important step towards the realization of personal robots that have captured imaginations for decades.

Full text
Abstract:

This dissertation proposes, exemplifies, and validates the usage of course-subject co-occurrence (CSCO) data to generate topic maps of an academic discipline. CSCO is defined as course-subjects taught in the same academic year by the same teacher. This work is premised on the assumption that in the aggregate and for reasons of efficiency, faculty members teach course-subjects that are topically similar to one another. To exemplify and validate CSCO, more than 112,000 CSCO events were extracted from the annual directories of the American Association of Law Schools covering nearly eighty years of law school teaching in the United States. The CSCO events are used to extract and visualize the structure and evolution of law for the years 1931-32, 1972-73, and 2010-11—roughly, forty year intervals. Different normalization, ordination (layout), and clustering algorithms are compared and the best algorithm of each type is used to generate the final map. Validation studies demonstrate that CSCO produces topic maps that are consistent with expert opinion and four other indicators of the topical similarity of law school course-subjects. Resulting maps of the educational domain of law are useful as a reference system for additional thematic overlay of information about law school education in the United States. This research is the first to use CSCO to produce visualizations of a domain. It is the first to use an expanded, multi-part gold-standard to evaluate the validity of domain maps and the intermediate steps in their creation. Last but not least, this research contributes a metric analysis and visualizations of the evolution of law school course-subjects over nearly eighty years.

Full text
Abstract:
While development in flies is well understood, pattem formation and the evolution thereof in arachnids have yet to be clarified. Flies and other metazoans primarily use two families of genes called Hox genes and Pax genes to regulate embryogenesis. Because of the high evolutionary conservation of Hox and Pax proteins, I hypothesize that arachnids also use this system to organize their body pattern. To enable studies of the Westem black widow spider, Latrodectus hesperus, an embryonic eDNA library and a fixation protocol were developed for L. hesperus embryos. The generation of these tools will allow comprehensive analysis of black widow spider development and give insight into whether, and how, spiders use Hox and Pax genes to organize their bodies. Finally, it will provide a more thorough understanding of how different developmental mechanisms have evolved and ultimately how changes in gene expression can lead to a change in overall body plan.

Abstract:
This masters thesis looks at the reception of the beat generation in six given American magazines spanning through the years 1957-1961. The study is basically one of literaty reception. The aim is to see how and if the institution of literature handed the beat generation an identity to go along with their arts. With the use of discourse analysis we have pointed out certain characteristics in the six articles that have been a part of building up an image of the beat generation as a whole. By dividing the result into the two categories social and literary practice we can clearer see what significants were used to create the beat generation. There could be seen a pattern consisting of looking at the beats as young and untamed. There where however differences in the way they were handled by different magazines. Our viewpoint is one of sociology of literature and we have chosen to do a contextualisation of our analysis scanning the society, the earlier American literature and of course a closer look at the beat generation themselves. The beat generation in this masters thesis is represented by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs, although more names can be added to the beat movement.

Abstract:
Context: As most modern browsers fully support the new set of APIs called Web Components, it is crucial to investigate how developers could use them to enhance the performance and developer experience of web development. When considering this, it is fitting to investigate both the technical and practical differences between modern libraries powered by the APIs, versus traditional libraries which do not. Objectives: In this study, traditional libraries using Virtual DOM got investigated to find out which differences exist when compared to modern ones using Web Components. To find out how this next generation of front-end libraries could utilize these new APIs to improve the build process of websites. If the APIs offer alternative ways for developers to achieve better performance and developer experience. Realization:  In order to fulfill the objectives, an empirical study and a literature review were conducted. In the literature review, we investigated how a set of well-known front-end libraries technically compares to new and aspiring Web Components based libraries. In the empirical study, a new Web Components library was built from the ground up with inspiration from Vuejs. With the help of modern code styles to achieve a fresh developer experience. Results: The results of the study show that Web Components based libraries tend to be quite powerful and offer excellent all-around performance. The created library, Kirei, reflected this as it became a powerful all-around library that offers a great developer experience. It also performed equally well or even better than Vue on most benchmarks. However, Vue was better at creating new elements while Kirei excelled at updating elements. In a way, the libraries excitingly contrasted with each other. Conclusions: While Vue and React are fundamentally different from Lit-Element, Heresy, and Kirei, they are alike in some sense. Most of the differences come from how the libraries apply updates to the DOM. While Web Components based libraries patch only the dynamic parts, Virtual DOM has to diff both the dynamic and static parts. Moreover, Kirei proved to be a robust framework that could compete with Vue and React. In some benchmarks, it proved to have an upper edge in performance.

Abstract:

Creating an IC (Integrated Circuit) can be very time consuming if high flexibility of the construction is demanded. This report will try to solve this problem by creating own standard cell libraries, which in turn are more flexible since the user designs them. Having these libraries makes it possible to map VHDL or Verilog code to those libraries, using them instead of predefined cell libraries. The procedure of creating the libraries is quite time consuming, and thus the possibilities of making that procedure automatic, or as automatic as possible, has been examined. Unfortunately some manual labour has to be done, butthe process can be speeded up a lot by making parts of it automatic.

Abstract:
Massive sequencing has transformed the field of genome biology due to the continuous introduction and evolution of new methods. In recent years, the technologies available to read through genomes have undergone an unprecedented rate of development in terms of cost-reduction. Generating sequence data has essentially ceased to be a bottleneck for analyzing genomes instead to be replaced by limitations in sample preparation and data analysis. In this work, new strategies are presented to increase both the throughput of library generation prior to sequencing, and the informational content of libraries to aid post-sequencing data processing. The protocols developed aim to enable new possibilities for genome research concerning project scale and sequence complexity. The first two papers that underpin this thesis deal with scaling library production by means of automation. Automated library preparation is first described for the 454 sequencing system based on a generic solid-phase polyethylene-glycol precipitation protocol for automated DNA handling. This was one of the first descriptions of automated sample handling for producing next generation sequencing libraries, and substantially improved sample throughput. Building on these results, the use of a double precipitation strategy to replace the manual agarose gel excision step for Illumina sequencing is presented. This protocol considerably improved the scalability of library construction for Illumina sequencing. The third and fourth papers present advanced strategies for library tagging in order to multiplex the information available in each library. First, a dual tagging strategy for massive sequencing is described in which two sets of tags are added to a library to trace back the origins of up to 4992 amplicons using 122 tags. The tagging strategy takes advantage of the previously automated pipeline and was used for the simultaneous sequencing of 3700 amplicons. Following that, an enzymatic protocol was developed to degrade long range PCR-amplicons and forming triple-tagged libraries containing information of sample origin, clonal origin and local positioning for the short-read sequences. Through tagging, this protocol makes it possible to analyze a longer continuous sequence region than would be possible based on the read length of the sequencing system alone. The fifth study investigates commonly used enzymes for constructing libraries for massive sequencing. We analyze restriction enzymes capable of digesting unknown sequences located some distance from their recognition sequence. Some of these enzymes have previously been extensively used for massive nucleic acid analysis. In this first high throughput study of such enzymes, we investigated their restriction specificity in terms of the distance from the recognition site and their sequence dependence. The phenomenon of slippage is characterized and shown to vary significantly between enzymes. The results obtained should favor future protocol development and enzymatic understanding. Through these papers, this work aspire to aid the development of methods for massive sequencing in terms of scale, quality and knowledge; thereby contributing to the general applicability of the new paradigm of sequencing instruments.

Abstract: Recent advances in Next-Generation Sequencing protocols have opened a variety of ways to generate data. However, each newly developed methodology is most suited to represent a certain phenomenon or molecule. The object of this analysis is to identify the most appropriate way to generate and process data to study the snoRNAs, or small nucleolar RNA. Recently, snoRNAs have been revealed as taking part in a variety of unexpected alternative functions such as splicing, resistance to oxidative shock and chromatin unwinding. Finding a method to generate and treat a large quantity of data containing snoRNAs and their potential interactors could highlight some of their unexplored roles within the cell. To tackle the problem, a new protocol was put forward. This new pipeline relies on a reverse transcriptase isolated from a bacterial group II intron which boasts a better representation of structured small RNAs such as tRNAs and snoRNAs. Indeed, when compared to data created by using the standard small RNA preparation protocol, the sequencing data generated through the group II intron retrotranscriptase gives a much fairer representation. These improvements are also present in the bioinformatics pipeline. The workflow was changed to facilitate the detection of ncRNAs. These modifications rescue millions of reads, further increasing the power of the analysis. Ultimately, such corrections increase the predictive power of sequencing data.
Des avancées récentes dans le domaine du séquençage de prochaine génération ont ouvert une panoplie de façons de générer des données. Toutefois, chaque nouvelle méthode dévelopée est souvent appropriée à la caractérisation d’un seul type de phénomène ou de molécules. L’objectif de cette analyse est d’identifier la manière la plus appropriée de générer et traiter les données pour étudier les petits ARNs nucléolaires, snoRNAs. Récemment, ceux-ci ont été révélés comme des acteurs dans une variété de fonctions alternatives comme l’épissage alternatif, la résistance au choc oxidatif et l’état de la chromatine. Il est donc impératif de trouver une méthode qui puisse traiter une large quantité de données contenant les snoRNAs et leurs intéracteurs pour découvrir les rôles encore inexplorés des snoRNAs. Dans cette optique, un nouveau protocole a été élaboré. Cette nouvelle suite d’analyses s’appuie sur une reverse transcriptase isolée d’un intron de groupe II bactérien qui affiche une meilleure représentation des petits ARNs structurés comme les tRNAs et les snoRNAs. En effet, quand les données générées à travers la méthode de préparation des libraries pour petits ARNs standard est comparée à celle basée sur la reverse transcriptase bactérienne, cette dernière donne une meilleure représentation du compte des espèces. Ces avancées sont aussi présentes dans la méthode d’analyse informatique. La suite d’outils a été modifiée afin de permettre une meilleure détection des petits ARN non-codants. Ces modifications permettent de récupérer des millions de lectures par ensemble de données ce qui augmente le pouvoir prédictif de l’analyse.

Resumo: Devido à necessidade do desenvolvimento de fontes de energias renováveis é de grande interesse a descoberta de novas enzimas envolvidas na desconstrução da parede celular vegetal para a produção de bicombustíveis. A metagenômica é uma poderosa ferramenta para a descoberta de novos genes em comunidades microbianas que não são passíveis de cultivo pelas técnicas tradicionais. Neste contexto, o objetivo desta tese foi o desenvolvimento de estratégias metagenômicas para prospecção de novas enzimas atuantes na degradação da biomassa vegetal no metagenoma de solo de canavial bem como a caracterização funcional das mesmas. A biblioteca metagenômica construída com DNA extraído de um consórcio microbiano especializado na degradação de bagaço de cana-de-açúcar explodido a vapor e deslignificado foi empregada nos experimentos de triagem funcional de alto desempenho. Como resultado, foram identificados três clones positivos com atividade celulolítica e dois clones com atividade xilanolítica. A análise dos insertos de cada um dos clones resultou na localização de ORFs cujas sequências de aminoácidos apresentaram identidade com domínios conservados de glicosil hidrolases da família 5 (celulases E-1 e E-2), família 6 (celulase E-3), família 10 (xilanase X-1) e família 16 (glicosil hidrolase X-2). A celulase E-1 apresentou em sua estrutura além do domínio catalítico, E-1 Cat, um domínio de ligação a carboidratos, denominado E-1 CBM, que não apresentou identidade de sequência com domínios conservados conhecidos. A análise funcional do E-1 CBM revelou tratar-se de um CBM específico para cadeias de glucano com grau de polimerização mínimo de cinco unidades de glicose. Ensaios de atividade enzimática em diferentes substratos mostraram que E-1 Cat atuou especificamente na hidrólise das ligações glicosídicas do tipo ß(1,4) entre resíduos de glicose. Os maiores valores de atividade enzimática foram obtidos em pH 7,0 e temperatura de 50ºC. Os parâmetros cinéticos calculados em CMC foram Km igual a 6,05 ± 0,37 mg/mL, Vmax de 42,51 ± 1,2 ?mol/min/mg e eficiência catalítica kcat/Km de 4,06 mL/mg/s. A enzima apresentou termoestabilidade a 40ºC por cinco horas. A atividade enzimática de E-1 Cat em celulose cristalina e bagaço de cana-de-açúcar explodido a vapor resultou na liberação de açúcares solúveis, evidenciando sua potencial aplicação em processos de conversão da biomassa vegetal. Ensaios de atividade em diferentes substratos mostraram que X-1 apresentou maior atividade enzimática em xilana não ramificada, nas condições de pH e temperatura de 6,0 e 45ºC, respectivamente. Os parâmetros cinéticos calculados utilizando como substrato xilana de madeira de faia foram Km de 2,18 ± 0,13 mg/mL, Vmax de 1.435 ± 30,4 ?mol/min/mg e kcat/Km de 496,32 mL/mg/s. Em relação à termoestabilidade, a enzima se manteve estável a 40ºC e 50ºC por seis horas. A hidrólise de substratos complexos com X-1 resultou na liberação de xilooligossacarídeos, xilobiose e xilose, que são compostos que apresentam potencial aplicação nas indústrias alimentícias e de biocombustíveis. Os resultados obtidos neste estudo validaram a abordagem metagenômica desenvolvida para a descoberta de novos genes codificantes para glicosil hidrolases. Além disso, a estratégia descrita nesta tese pode ser estendida para a descoberta de uma miríade de bioprodutos de interesse biotecnológico
Abstract: Due to the necessity of development of renewable sources of energy, it is of great interest the discovery of novel enzymes involved in plant cell wall deconstruction for biofuels production. Metagenomics is a powerful tool for the discovery of novel genes in microbial communities that are not liable to cultivation by traditional techniques. In this context, the aim of this thesis was the development of metagenomic strategies for prospection of novel enzymes involved in plant biomass degradation in sugarcane field soil metagenome and functional characterization of the identified enzymes. The metagenomic library constructed with DNA extracted from a microbial consortium specialized in degradation of steam exploded delignified sugarcane bagasse was used in the experiments of high-performance functional screening. As a result, we identified three positive clones with cellulolytic activity and two clones with xylanolytic activity. The analysis of the inserts from each clone resulted in the location of ORFs whose amino acid sequences showed identity to conserved domains of glycoside hydrolase family 5 (cellulases E-1 and E-2), family 6 (cellulase E-3), family 10 (xylanase X-1) and family 16 (glycoside hydrolase X-2). Cellulase E-1 exhibited in addition to the catalytic domain, E-1 Cat, a carbohydrate binding module, called E-1 CBM, which showed no sequence identity with known conserved domains. Functional analysis of E-1 CBM showed that it is a CBM specific for glucan chains with a degree of polymerization of at least five units of glucose. Assays with a set of different substrates revealed that E-1 Cat hydrolyzed specifically ß(1,4) glycoside bonds between glucose residues. The highest value of enzymatic activity was obtained at pH 7.0 and temperature of 50°C. The kinetic parameters Km, Vmax and catalytic efficiency kcat/Km calculated using CMC were 6.05 ± 0.37 mg/mL, 42.51 ± 1.2 ?mol/min/mg and 4.06 mL/mg/s, respectively. The enzyme showed thermal stability at 40°C for five hours. The enzymatic activity of E-1 Cat in crystalline cellulose and steam exploded sugarcane bagasse resulted in the release of soluble sugars, demonstrating its potential application in processes of biomass conversion. The xylanase X-1 showed higher enzyme activity in debranched xylan, in reactions conducted in pH 6.0 and temperature of 45°C. The kinetic parameters Km, Vmax and catalytic efficiency kcat/Km calculated using beechwood xylan were 2.18 ± 0.13 mg/mL, 1,435 ± 30.4 ?mol/min/mg and 496.32 mL/mg/s, respectively. In relation to thermal stability, the enzyme was stable at 40°C and 50°C for six hours. The hydrolysis of complex substrates resulted in the release of xylo-oligosaccharides, xylobiose and xylose, which are compounds that have potential application in food and biofuels industries. The results of this study validated the metagenomic approach developed for the discovery of novel genes coding for glycoside hydrolases. Moreover, the strategy described in this work can be extended to the discovery of a myriad of byproducts of biotechnological interest

Abstract:
The present master thesis is an exploratory qualitative study in academic libraries regarding the transition from the integrated library systems to the next generation integrated library systems or library services platforms and the potential implications in their internal workflows. Nowadays, libraries all over the world are facing up with a number of challenges in terms of acquiring, describing and making available to the public all the resources, both printed and electronic, they manage. In particular, the academic libraries have more reasons to wish to fulfill their users’ needs since the majority of them use the library sources more and more for scientific research and educational purposes.In this study we attempt to explore the phenomenon in the globe using the available literature and to identify the implications in libraries’ workflows and the possible future developments. Moreover, through observation and semi-structured interviews we try to identify the current developments in the Greek context regarding the adoption of next ILS and possible implications in their workflows. Finally, we attempt a comparison between the Greek situation and the international one.

Abstract:
This bachelor thesis examines the construction of young people in relation to reading and literacy, as expressed in a public debate that took place in Swedish daily press during the autumn of 2020. The empirical material consists of 21 articles from four major Swedish newspapers. Using a discourse analytical approach based on the conceptual framework developed by Laclau and Mouffe, this study identifies four different discourses about what constituted reading and literacy among children and adolescents: the instrumental discourse, the moralising discourse, the book discourse and the progressive discourse. These four discourses had a major impact on the debate and the construction of young people in relation to literacy and reading. One conclusion is how dominating moralising and instrumental discourses constrains and polarizes public debate. This also includes the consequences of the book discourse, implying that print literacy is more desirable than digital literacy, which creates negative attitudes towards the digital habits of children and adolescents which is expressed in the debate.

Abstract:
This PhD study, developed at Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), aims to cover the first phase of the benchmark released by the expert group on Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (UAM-LWR). The main contribution to the benchmark, made by the thesis' author, is the development of a MATLAB program requested by the benchmark organizers. This is used to generate neutronic libraries to distribute among the benchmark participants. The UAM benchmark pretends to determine the uncertainty introduced by coupled multi-physics and multi-scale LWR analysis codes. The benchmark is subdivided into three phases: 1. Neutronic phase: obtain collapsed and homogenized problem-dependent cross sections and criticality analyses. 2. Core phase: standalone thermohydraulic and neutronic codes. 3. System phase: coupled thermohydraulic and neutronic code. In this thesis the objectives of the first phase are covered. Specifically, a methodology is developed to propagate the uncertainty of cross sections and other neutronic parameters through a lattice physics code and core simulator. An Uncertainty and Sensitivity (U&S) analysis is performed over the cross sections contained in the ENDF/B-VII nuclear library. Their uncertainty is propagated through the lattice physics code SCALE6.2.1, including the collapse and homogenization phase, up to the generation of problem-dependent neutronic libraries. Afterward, the uncertainty contained in these libraries can be further propagated through a core simulator, in this study PARCSv3.2. The module SAMPLER -available in the latest release of SCALE- and DAKOTA 6.3 statistical tool are used for the U&S analysis. As a part of this process, a methodology to obtain neutronic libraries in NEMTAB format -to be used in a core simulator- is also developed. A code-to-code comparison with CASMO-4 is used as a verification. The whole methodology is tested using a Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) reactor type. Nevertheless, there is not any concern or limitation regarding its use in any other type of nuclear reactor. The Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS) stochastic methodology for uncertainty quantification is used. This methodology makes use of the high-fidelity model and nonparametric sampling to propagate the uncertainty. As a result, the number of samples (determined using the revised Wilks' formula) does not depend on the number of input parameters but only on the desired confidence and uncertainty of output parameters. Moreover, the output Probability Distribution Functions (PDFs) are not subject to normality. The main disadvantage is that each input parameter must have a pre-defined PDF. If possible, input PDFs are defined using information found in the related literature. Otherwise, the uncertainty definition is based on expert judgment. A second scenario is used to propagate the uncertainty of different thermohydraulic parameters through the coupled code TRACE5.0p3/PARCSv3.0. In this case, a PWR reactor type is used and a transient control rod drop occurrence is simulated. As a new feature, the core is modeled chan-by-chan following a fully 3D discretization. No other study is found using a detailed 3D core. This U&S analysis also makes use of the GRS methodology and DAKOTA 6.3.
Este trabajo de doctorado, desarrollado en la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), tiene como objetivo cubrir la primera fase del benchmark presentado por el grupo de expertos Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (UAM-LWR). La principal contribución al benchmark, por parte del autor de esta tesis, es el desarrollo de un programa de MATLAB solicitado por los organizadores del benchmark, el cual se usa para generar librerías neutrónicas a distribuir entre los participantes del benchmark. El benchmark del UAM pretende determinar la incertidumbre introducida por los códigos multifísicos y multiescala acoplados de análisis de reactores de agua ligera. El citado benchmark se divide en tres fases: 1. Fase neutrónica: obtener los parámetros neutrónicos y secciones eficaces del problema específico colapsados y homogenizados, además del análisis de criticidad. 2. Fase de núcleo: análisis termo-hidráulico y neutrónico por separado. 3. Fase de sistema: análisis termo-hidráulico y neutrónico acoplados. En esta tesis se completan los principales objetivos de la primera fase. Concretamente, se desarrolla una metodología para propagar la incertidumbre de secciones eficaces y otros parámetros neutrónicos a través de un código lattice y un simulador de núcleo. Se lleva a cabo un análisis de incertidumbre y sensibilidad para las secciones eficaces contenidas en la librería neutrónica ENDF/B-VII. Su incertidumbre se propaga a través del código lattice SCALE6.2.1, incluyendo las fases de colapsación y homogenización, hasta llegar a la generación de una librería neutrónica específica del problema. Luego, la incertidumbre contenida en dicha librería puede continuar propagándose a través de un simulador de núcleo, para este estudio PARCSv3.2. Para el análisis de incertidumbre y sensibilidad se ha usado el módulo SAMPLER -disponible en la última versión de SCALE- y la herramienta estadística DAKOTA 6.3. Como parte de este proceso, también se ha desarrollado una metodología para obtener librerías neutrónicas en formato NEMTAB para ser usadas en simuladores de núcleo. Se ha realizado una comparación con el código CASMO-4 para obtener una verificación de la metodología completa. Esta se ha probado usando un reactor de agua en ebullición del tipo BWR. Sin embargo, no hay ninguna preocupación o limitación respecto a su uso con otro tipo de reactor nuclear. Para la cuantificación de la incertidumbre se usa la metodología estocástica Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS). Esta metodología hace uso del modelo de alta fidelidad y un muestreo no paramétrico para propagar la incertidumbre. Como resultado, el número de muestras (determinado con la fórmula revisada de Wilks) no depende del número de parámetros de entrada, sólo depende del nivel de confianza e incertidumbre deseados de los parámetros de salida. Además, las funciones de distribución de probabilidad no están limitadas a normalidad. El principal inconveniente es que se ha de disponer de las distribuciones de probabilidad de cada parámetro de entrada. Si es posible, las distribuciones de probabilidad de entrada se definen usando información encontrada en la literatura relacionada. En caso contrario, la incertidumbre se define en base a la opinión de un experto. Se usa un segundo escenario para propagar la incertidumbre de diferentes parámetros termo-hidráulicos a través del código acoplado TRACE5.0p3/PARCSv3.0. En este caso, se utiliza un reactor tipo PWR para simular un transitorio de una caída de barra. Como nueva característica, el núcleo se modela elemento a elemento siguiendo una discretización totalmente en 3D. No se ha encontrado ningún otro estudio que use un núcleo tan detallado en 3D. También se usa la metodología GRS y el DAKOTA 6.3 para este análisis de incertidumbre y sensibilidad.
Aquest treball de doctorat, desenvolupat a la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), té com a objectiu cobrir la primera fase del benchmark presentat pel grup d'experts Uncertainty Analysis in Modeling (UAM-LWR). La principal contribució al benchmark, per part de l'autor d'aquesta tesi, es el desenvolupament d'un programa de MATLAB sol¿licitat pels organitzadors del benchmark, el qual s'utilitza per a generar llibreries neutròniques a distribuir entre els participants del benchmark. El benchmark del UAM pretén determinar la incertesa introduïda pels codis multifísics i multiescala acoblats d'anàlisi de reactors d'aigua lleugera. El citat benchmark es divideix en tres fases: 1. Fase neutrònica: obtenir els paràmetres neutrònics i seccions eficaces del problema específic, col¿lapsats i homogeneïtzats, a més de la anàlisi de criticitat. 2. Fase de nucli: anàlisi termo-hidràulica i neutrònica per separat. 3. Fase de sistema: anàlisi termo-hidràulica i neutrònica acoblats. En aquesta tesi es completen els principals objectius de la primera fase. Concretament, es desenvolupa una metodologia per propagar la incertesa de les seccions eficaces i altres paràmetres neutrònics a través d'un codi lattice i un simulador de nucli. Es porta a terme una anàlisi d'incertesa i sensibilitat per a les seccions eficaces contingudes en la llibreria neutrònica ENDF/B-VII. La seua incertesa es propaga a través del codi lattice SCALE6.2.1, incloent les fases per col¿lapsar i homogeneïtzar, fins aplegar a la generació d'una llibreria neutrònica específica del problema. Després, la incertesa continguda en la esmentada llibreria pot continuar propagant-se a través d'un simulador de nucli, per a aquest estudi PARCSv3.2. Per a l'anàlisi d'incertesa i sensibilitat s'ha utilitzat el mòdul SAMPLER -disponible a l'última versió de SCALE- i la ferramenta estadística DAKOTA 6.3. Com a part d'aquest procés, també es desenvolupa una metodologia per a obtenir llibreries neutròniques en format NEMTAB per ser utilitzades en simuladors de nucli. S'ha realitzat una comparació amb el codi CASMO-4 per obtenir una verificació de la metodologia completa. Aquesta s'ha provat utilitzant un reactor d'aigua en ebullició del tipus BWR. Tanmateix, no hi ha cap preocupació o limitació respecte del seu ús amb un altre tipus de reactor nuclear. Per a la quantificació de la incertesa s'utilitza la metodologia estocàstica Gesellschaft für Anlagen und Reaktorsicherheit (GRS). Aquesta metodologia fa ús del model d'alta fidelitat i un mostreig no paramètric per propagar la incertesa. Com a resultat, el nombre de mostres (determinat amb la fórmula revisada de Wilks) no depèn del nombre de paràmetres d'entrada, sols depèn del nivell de confiança i incertesa desitjats dels paràmetres d'eixida. A més, las funcions de distribució de probabilitat no estan limitades a la normalitat. El principal inconvenient és que s'ha de disposar de les distribucions de probabilitat de cada paràmetre d'entrada. Si és possible, les distribucions de probabilitat d'entrada es defineixen utilitzant informació trobada a la literatura relacionada. En cas contrari, la incertesa es defineix en base a l'opinió d'un expert. S'utilitza un segon escenari per propagar la incertesa de diferents paràmetres termo-hidràulics a través del codi acoblat TRACE5.0p3/PARCSv3.0. En aquest cas, s'utilitza un reactor tipus PWR per simular un transitori d'una caiguda de barra. Com a nova característica, cal assenyalar que el nucli es modela element a element seguint una discretizació totalment 3D. No s'ha trobat cap altre estudi que utilitze un nucli tan detallat en 3D. També s'utilitza la metodologia GRS i el DAKOTA 6.3 per a aquesta anàlisi d'incertesa i sensibilitat.¿

Abstract:
O objetivo da pesquisa é avaliar a contribuição das ferramentas de redes sociais da Web na melhoria da comunicação e da qualidade dos serviços e produtos das bibliotecas universitárias. A pesquisa é de caráter exploratório com abordagem quantitativa e qualitativa, por meio da aplicação de questionário às bibliotecas da UNESP, UNICAMP e USP e de entrevista a uma amostra de bibliotecas dessas instituições. Os resultados revelam que as bibliotecas estão, ainda, em um estágio de experimentação com relação à utilização das redes sociais. Verifica-se que as ferramentas possibilitam novas formas de comunicação e de divulgação de informações, serviços e produtos para as bibliotecas, bem como de capacitação para seus usuários, o que resulta em inovações e agrega valor aos processos já existentes. Ao mesmo tempo, entende-se que as redes sociais não se caracterizam apenas como espaços de comunicação e divulgação, mas também de participação, colaboração e interação algo ainda, pouco explorado pelas bibliotecas consultadas. Apesar disso, acredita-se que as redes sociais podem contribuir na melhoria da comunicação e da qualidade dos serviços e produtos bibliotecários.
The objective of this research is to evaluate the contribution of social networking sites of the Web in improving communication and the quality of services and products offered in academic libraries. This is an exploratory research with quantitative and qualitative approaches. We have submitted questionnaires to the libraries of UNESP (São Paulo State University), UNICAMP (University of Campinas) and USP (University of São Paulo) and conducted interviews with a sample of libraries of these institutions. The results show that the libraries are still experimenting with the use of social networks. We have observed that the tools provide new forms of communication and dissemination of information, services and products for libraries, as well as build capacity for the users. This results in innovations and adds value to the existing processes. At the same time, we have understood that the social networks are not characterized only as spaces for communication and the dissemination of information, but also of participation, collaboration and interaction, all of which are still little explored by these libraries. In spite of this, we believe that social networks can contribute to the improvement of communication and the quality of services and products offered by libraries

Abstract:
Le generateur automatique de vecteurs de test genevec qui est presente dans cette these, genere les vecteurs de test destines au test exhaustif du circuit integre vlsi dont la conception est faite a l'aide des cellules precaracterisees. Un fichier de description du test du circuit est forme d'un ensemble de donnees logiques d'interconnexions entre les blocs de base extraites a partir de la description "a plat" du circuit a tester et de donnees fonctionnelles sur les blocs de base qui constituent le circuit. La generation des vecteurs de test est effectuee d'apres ces informations. Cette etude s'applique aux circuits integres a structure pipeline serie. Ces circuits sont concus a l'aide d'une bibliotheque de cellules cmos, en utilisant les outils de la chaine de conception assistee par ordinateur emilie. La chaine de cao etablit la continuite des servitudes et des chemins de test. La methode que nous presentons dans ce travail est basee sur le test exhaustif du circuit en utilisant les chemins de test et en appliquant la methode lssd. Le but final est d'arriver a tester toute la partie combinatoire de chaque cellule standard, c'est a dire approcher taux de couverture 100%
