Abstract Objective – The availability study is a systems research method that has recently been used to test whether library users can access electronic resources. This study evaluates the availability study’s effectiveness as a troubleshooting tool by comparing the results of two availability studies conducted at the same library before and after fixing access problems identified by the initial study. Methods – The researcher developed a six-category conceptual model of the causes of electronic resource errors, modified Nisonger’s e-resource availability method to more closely approximate student information-seeking behaviour, and conducted an availability study at the University of Redlands Armacost Library to estimate how many resources suffered from errors. After conducting troubleshooting over a period of several months, he replicated the study and found increased overall availability and fewer incidences of most error categories. He used Z tests for the difference of two proportions to determine whether the changes were statistically significant. Results – The 62.5% availability rate in the first study increased after troubleshooting to 86.5% in the second study. Z tests showed that troubleshooting had produced statistically significant improvements in overall availability, in the number of items that could be downloaded from the library’s online collection or requested through interlibrary loan (ILL), and in three of six error categories (proxy, target database and ILL). Conclusion – Availability studies can contribute to successful troubleshooting initiatives by making librarians aware of technical problems that might otherwise go unreported. Problems uncovered by an availability study can be resolved through collaboration between librarians and systems vendors, though the present study did not demonstrate equally significant improvements across all types of errors. This study offers guidance to librarians seeking to focus troubleshooting efforts where they will have the greatest impact in improving access to full-text. It also advances the availability research method and is the first attempt to quantify its effectiveness as a troubleshooting tool.

In administering fluoride through drinking water there is the risk of overdose, higher cost and inadequate availability of drinking water containing fluoride in developing countries like Indonesia. A safe fluoride source is contained in toothpaste. The purpose of this research was to obtain data concerning difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride and without toothpaste. The research method used was the quasi-experimental method. Samples were collected by the way of purposive sampling, conducted on 43 male and female research subjects. The data were analyzed by statistical analysis using the t test at 95% confidence level. In this research a control group consisting of 43 people was used. Research results indicated that the average saliva pH before brushing was 7.174; after brushing with fluoride containing toothpaste salivary pH was 7.593. Result research of brushing without toothpaste showed an average saliva of 7.163 before brushing and 7.379 after brushing without toothpaste. The average changes in saliva pH before and after brushing using fluoride containing toothpaste was 0.216. The conclusion of this research was that there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride; there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing without toothpaste, and there was significant difference in saliva pH before and after brushing with toothpaste containing fluoride and without toothpaste.

1. The technical problems underlying the estimation and analysis of the total prenatal mortality in a mammal are reviewed, with particular reference to the rabbit. 2. The material consisted of 7137 wild rabbits, of which 5089 were females. These comprise eleven series, according to the year, locality and treatment, particulars of which are given. 3. The experimental error in counts of corpora lutea was investigated and the technique critically examined. The changes in size of the corpus luteum during pregnancy were measured and a growth curve constructed. The mean number of corpora lutea in a litter, as determined from macroscopic counts, was found to be significantly lower at the beginning and end of pregnancy than in the middle. If this is due to omissions in the counts it represents a maximum error of 6.8% of corpora lutea. Microscopic counts of the corpora lutea in freehand sections of 180 pairs of ovaries of pregnant animals were made as a control. These revealed a total error in the original counts of 6.4% of the corpora lutea, affecting 25.6% of the litters, but this was distributed evenly throughout gestation. 4. Corpora lutea atretica formed from unruptured follicles are present in 16% of the pairs of ovaries, and comprise less than 2% of all corpora lutea. They are formed at the same time as the normal corpora lutea, and there is no evidence that any are formed subsequently during pregnancy in the rabbit. 5. It is estimated that 0.23% of the follicles which ovulate produce two embryos through the liberation of two ova. 6. Transperitoneal migration of 0.37% of ova, affecting 2% of the litters, was found to occur. The probability of migration either from left to right or from right to left appeared to be equal. 7. Significant changes in the mean number of implantation sites in the uteri counted at successive stages of pregnancy were observed, and particularly a decline at the end of gestation. They are of the same order as those in the mean number of corpora lutea, which they will tend to compensate so far as estimates of loss of ova before implantation are concerned. It is by no means clear that these are due to experimental error in the counts. 8. Estimates of the loss of embryos before implantation are based on the difference between the number of corpora lutea in the ovaries and of implantation sites in the uteri, and estimates of the loss after implantation on the difference between the number of implantation sites and of developing embryos. No significant relation has been found between the loss before and after implantation respectively, and it is concluded that the loss suffered after implantation is distributed independently of that which occurs before implantation.

Mind Mapping learning, that uses images and text with a purpose to describe the instructional ideas and concepts, gets lot attention by academicians. A renewal of Arabic learning method and strategy through mind mapping needs to be implemented in Arabic learning. The purpose of this study was to find out the implementation of Mind Mapping to improve students’ Arabic speaking skill. The research method used in this research was descriptive quantitative by emphasizing the improvement of students' speaking abilities and eliminating boredom in learning Arabic. The analysis process presented the results of scores carried out before and after the implementation of mind mapping in Arabic learning. The results of this study were Mind Mapping strategy was effective in learning Arabic, especially in learning speaking skills, because it gave students the courage to bring out new vocabulary they must master. The results were known from the difference between students’ attitude and effectiveness of mind mapping before using this instructional strategy. Based on the percentage results, the success rate of learning rose by 30% and the level of boredom of students in learning decreased by 35%. It means that this strategy can be implemented to improve Arabic speaking skill of students with joyful learning.

Factor Type

Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of ion-implanted Si is important for device fabrication. The defect structures of 2.5, 4.0, and 6.0 MeV As-implanted silicon irradiated to fluences of 2E14, 4E14, and 6E14, respectively, have been analyzed by electron diffraction both before and after RTA at 1100°C for 10 seconds. At such high fluences and energies the implanted As ions change the Si from crystalline to amorphous. Three distinct amorphous regions emerge due to the three implantation energies used (Fig. 1). The amorphous regions are separated from each other by crystalline Si (marked L1, L2, and L3 in Fig. 1) which contains a high concentration of small defect clusters. The small defect clusters were similar to what had been determined earlier as being amorphous zones since their contrast was principally of the structure-factor type that arises due to the difference in extinction distance between the matrix and damage regions.
