A botanical demonstration of the potential of linking data using unique identifiers for people

Natural history collection data available digitally on the web have so far only made limited use of the potential of semantic links among themselves and with cross-disciplinary resources. In a pilot study, botanical collections of the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF) have therefore begun to semantically annotate their collection data, starting with data on people, and to link them via a central index system. As a result, it is now possible to query data on collectors across different collections and automatically link them to a variety of external resources. The system is being continuously developed and is already in production use in an international collection portal.

Growth estimates for the maximal term and central exponent of the derivative of a Dirichlet series

Let $A\in(-\infty,+\infty]$, $\Phi:[a,A)\to\mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function such that $x\sigma-\Phi(\sigma)\to-\infty$ as $\sigma\uparrow A$ for every $x\in\mathbb{R}$, $\widetilde{\Phi}(x)=\max\{x\sigma -\Phi(\sigma):\sigma\in [a,A)\}$ be the Young-conjugate function of $\Phi$, $\overline{\Phi}(x)=\widetilde{\Phi}(x)/x$ and $\Gamma(x)=(\widetilde{\Phi}(x)-\ln x)/x$ for all sufficiently large $x$, $(\lambda_n)$ be a nonnegative sequence increasing to $+\infty$, and $F(s)=\sum\limits\limits_{n=0}^\infty a_ne^{s\lambda_n}$ be a Dirichlet series such that its maximal term $\mu(\sigma,F)=\max\{|a_n|e^{\sigma\lambda_n}:n\ge0\}$ and central index $\nu(\sigma,F)=\max\{n\ge0:|a_n|e^{\sigma\lambda_n}=\mu(\sigma,F)\}$ are defined for all $\sigma<A$. It is proved that if $\ln\mu(\sigma,F)\le(1+o(1))\Phi(\sigma)$ as $\sigma\uparrow A$, then the inequalities $$ \varlimsup_{\sigma\uparrow A}\frac{\mu(\sigma,F')}{\mu(\sigma,F)\overline{\Phi}\,^{-1}(\sigma)}\le1,\qquad \varlimsup_{\sigma\uparrow A}\frac{\lambda_{\nu(\sigma,F')}}{\Gamma^{-1}(\sigma)}\le1, $$ hold, and these inequalities are sharp.

0968 Sleep-disordered Breathing In Schaaf-yang Syndrome

Introduction Schaaf-Yang Syndrome (SYS) is a genetic disorder caused by truncating variants in the MAGEL2 gene located in the maternally imprinted, paternally expressed Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) region at 15q11-13. The SYS phenotype shares features with PWS, a disorder with known high incidence of central and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However the spectrum of sleep-disordered breathing in SYS has not been described. Methods We performed a retrospective analysis of polysomnograms from 22 of the known 115 patients with molecular diagnosis of SYS. Sleep characteristics including total sleep time, latency, efficiency, % sleep stages, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), obstructive index, central index, and oxygenation were analyzed for the whole group and by truncation location (c.1996dupC variants [n=11] or other locations [n=11]). Only the initial diagnostic study or initial diagnostic portion of a split-night study was used in analysis (analytic n=21). Results We collected 33 sleep study reports from 22 patients, ages 2 months - 18.5 years. Mean analyzed sleep time was 357 minutes (129-589 min) with mean sleep efficiency of 71.45% (45-94%) and sleep latency of 24.8 minutes (0-146 min). The mean apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) was 19.1/hr (0.9 -49/hr) with mean obstructive AHI of 16.3 (0.6-49/hr). Mean central index was 2.8/hr (0-14/hr). 18/21 (86%) were diagnosed with OSA, and 13/21 (62%) with moderate or severe OSA (oAHI &gt;5/hr). Central sleep apnea was diagnosed in 2/21 (9.5%). 15 studies reported periodic limb movement index (PLMI) with mean of 7.8 (0-67/hr) and 4/15 (26%) with PLMI &gt;5. Comparison of genotype groups did not reveal any difference in presence of OSA or severity of OSA. Conclusion OSA is frequently identified on polysomnography in patients with SYS. Central sleep apnea is less common, which is in contrast to PWS. The majority of patients with OSA had moderate or severe OSA, and 47% had severe OSA. Support N/A

Pengembangan Kawasan Strategis Minapolitan Melalui Klasifikasi Wilayah Di Kabupaten Kutai Kartanegara

Kutai Kartanegara Regency has 7 subdistricts which are included in the Minapolitan area, including Marang Kayu, Muara Badak, Loa Kulu, Loa Janan, Samboja, Muara Jawa and Anggana. In developing the Minapolitan Straegis Region, it can increase fish farming income so as to produce equality in each region with better quality of life and welfare. In carrying out the development, it is necessary to have a region or sub-district which is the center of Minsan Metropolitan services, in determining the Minapolitan Region Service Center in Kutai Kartanegara Regency, a scalogram analysis (Guttman Scale) is performed to determine the areas that have complete facilities related to Minapolitan and Marshall Central Index Index analysis ( ISM) to determine the service center of the Kutai Kartanegara District Minapolitan Area. Based on the two analyzes, a service center in the Kutai Kartanegara District was obtained, namely Anggana District with the type and number of complete facilities related to the Minapolitan Area. Based on these results it is possible to develop the area in Anggana Subdistrict which is the Minapolitan Area Service Center of Kutai Kartanegara Regency. Keywords: Marshall Central Index Index (ISM), Minapolitan Area Service Center ,Scalogram Analysis (Guttman Scale).

Growth of central index on the basis of relative L*-order, relative L*-lower order, relative L*-hyper order of entire functions

In this paper we discuss relative L* -order, relative L * - lower order, and relative L* - hyper order of an entire functions with respect to central index. Also we study some growth properties of composite entire functions.

In the present paper, the growth rate of the central index of the composition of two integral functions in terms of the left and right factors are discussed.

On the Maximum Term and Central Index of Entire Functions and Their Derivatives

We shall establish some criteria on entire series with finite logarithmic order in terms of maximum term and central index.

Discovery Systems as an Alternative to Stand-Alone Databases: The Example of Primo at BI Norwegian Business School

BackgroundDiscovery systems (DS) harvest metadata from various sources into one central index. This data can be searched through thanks to an intuitive interface, which also redirects users to full-text resources in their native databases. This paper aims at evaluating whether the DS Primo can serve as an alternative to specialized databases subscribed to by BI Norwegian Business School.Research designVarious article searches were run in Primo and four databases BI subscribes to. 1200 records were exported to EndNote. The rank order and the source of the records in Primo were kept track of. Some individual records were later checked for metadata.Results Most times, the record describing an article in Primo was not harvested from the article’s native database. When the record source was this native database, subject field’s metadata was identical. Some articles appeared twice due to metadata inconsistencies across harvested resources. Almost all records included one of the subject headings searched for. Keywords were otherwise mostly found in the records’ title. Downsizing being used in various disciplines, unexpected records were retrieved.ConclusionsNot all databases are indexed in Primo Central Index, but its size and coverage make Primo a smart choice as a one-stop search engine, if one uses the available narrowing options. It can to a certain extent function as an alternative to specialized databases for other tasks than systematic reviews, such as exploratory searches, or to get a sense of the available content.
