Learning from Chatting: How Our Virtual Reference Questions Are Giving Us Answers

open access: yesEvidence Based Library and Information Practice, 2010
Objective - This research compares two types of online reference services and attempts to determine whether the same sorts of questions are being asked; which questions are being asked most often; and whether patron and staff behaviour is consistent or ...

Direct virtual viewpoint synthesis from multiple viewpoints [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This paper presents a novel approach for synthesizing intermediate or virtual viewpoints (VVs) of a 3D scene based on information from a number of known reference viewpoints (RVs).

Small Library Research: Using Qualitative and User-Oriented Research to Transform a Traditional Library into an Information Commons

open access: yesEvidence Based Library and Information Practice, 2017
Objective - The project team investigated the changes necessary to transform the original library into an information commons. The researchers sought to drive the project by asking for patrons’ input, rather than rely on the vision of administrators or ...

Design of Virtual Reference Feedforward Controller for an Active Suspension System

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2022
This paper presents a method to design a virtual reference feedforward controller (VRFC) for an active suspension system. Generally, it is not easy to apply a feedforward control to an active suspension system because a reference or disturbance is ...

The Paradox of Virtual Dipoles in the Einstein Action [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The functional integral of pure Einstein 4D quantum gravity admits abnormally large and long-lasting "dipolar fluctuations", generated by virtual sources with the property Int d^4x Sqrt{g(x)} Tr T(x) = 0.

Truly Online Paging with Locality of Reference

open access: yes, 1997
The competitive analysis fails to model locality of reference in the online paging problem. To deal with it, Borodin et. al. introduced the access graph model, which attempts to capture the locality of reference.

Virtual Gravity and the Duality of Reality [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
It is shown that a hypothesis about gravity having a virtual cause implies there are two primary reference frames, a reality and a functional virtual reality and an equivalence principle relating the two is postulated.

Preferences of Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers for Chemotherapy‐Induced Nausea and Vomiting Control Endpoints: A Mixed Methods Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Although not always achieved, complete chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) control is the conventional goal of CINV prophylaxis. In this two‐center, mixed‐methods study, we sought to understand the preferences of adolescent patients and family caregivers for CINV control endpoints.
