Such synchronization is currently achieved using ad-hoc or proprietary solutions. We propose ResourceSync, a general Web resource synchronization protocol that leverages XML Sitemaps. It provides a set of capabilities that can be combined in a modular manner to meet local or community requirements. We report on work to implement this protocol for arXiv.org and also provide an experimental prototype for the English Wikipedia as well as a client API.</summary> <author> <name>Bernhard Haslhofer</name> </author> <author> <name>Simeon Warner</name> </author> <author> <name>Carl Lagoze</name> </author> <author> <name>Martin Klein</name> </author> <author> <name>Robert Sanderson</name> </author> <author> <name>Michael L.

Less progress has been made on populating and using the author side of this network than the article side, in part because of the difficulty of unambiguously identifying authors. I briefly review a sample of author identifier schemes, and consider use in scholarly repositories. I then describe preliminary work at arXiv to implement public author identifiers, services based on them, and plans to make this information useful beyond the boundaries of arXiv.</summary> <author> <name>Simeon Warner</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Cornell Information Science and Cornell University Library</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <arxiv:comment xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">10 pages.

In this manner, digital library content is more integrated with the Web architecture, and thereby more accessible to Web applications and clients. This generalized notion of an aggregation that is independent of repository containment conforms more closely with notions in eScience and eScholarship, where content is distributed across multiple services and databases. We provide a motivation for the OAI-ORE project, review previous interoperability efforts, describe draft ORE specifications and report on promising results from early experimentation that illustrate improved interoperability and reuse of digital objects.</summary> <author> <name>Carl Lagoze</name> </author> <author> <name>Herbert Van de Sompel</name> </author> <author> <name>Michael L.

The methodology efficiently detects a variety of problematic author behaviors, and heuristics are developed to reduce the number of false positives.

The current infrastructure falls far short of this goal. Cross-repository interoperability must be augmented to support the many workflows and value-chains involved in scholarly communication. This will not be achieved through the promotion of single repository architecture or content representation, but instead requires an interoperability framework to connect the many heterogeneous systems that will exist. We present a simple data model and service architecture that augments repository interoperability to enable scholarly value-chains to be implemented. We describe an experiment that demonstrates how the proposed infrastructure can be deployed to implement the workflow involved in the creation of an overlay journal over several different repository systems (Fedora, aDORe, DSpace and arXiv).</summary> <author> <name>Simeon Warner</name> </author> <author> <name>Jeroen Bekaert</name> </author> <author> <name>Carl Lagoze</name> </author> <author> <name>Xiaoming Liu</name> </author> <author> <name>Sandy Payette</name> </author> <author> <name>Herbert Van de Sompel</name> </author> <arxiv:doi xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">10.1007/s00799-007-0016-7</arxiv:doi> <arxiv:comment xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">18 pages.

In this paper we show that the e-prints have not undermined the usage of journal papers in the astrophysics community. As soon as the journal article is published, the astronomical community prefers to read the journal article and the use of e-prints through the NASA Astrophysics Data System drops to zero. This suggests that the majority of astronomers have access to institutional subscriptions and that they choose to read the journal article when given the choice. Within the NASA Astrophysics Data System they are given this choice, because the e-print and the journal article are treated equally, since both are just one click away. In other words, the e-prints have not undermined journal use in the astrophysics community and thus currently do not pose a financial threat to the publishers. We present readership data for the arXiv category "astro-ph" and the 4 core journals in astronomy (Astrophysical Journal, Astronomical Journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society and Astronomy & Astrophysics). Furthermore, we show that the half-life (the point where the use of an article drops to half the use of a newly published article) for an e-print is shorter than for a journal paper.

In this article I present a brief survey of OAI eprint repositories, and of services using metadata harvested from eprint repositories using the OAI protocol for metadata harvesting (OAI-PMH).

For the case of zero magnetic field we show that the model possesses three phases. For one of these the boundary length grows linearly with disk area, while the other two phases are characterized by a boundary whose size is on the order of the cut-off. A line of continuous magnetic transitions separates the two small boundary phases. We determine the critical exponents of the continuous magnetic phase transition and relate them to predictions from continuum 2-d quantum gravity. This line of continuous transitions appears to terminate on a line of discontinuous phase transitions dividing the small boundary phases from the large boundary phase. We examine the scaling of bulk magnetization and boundary magnetization as a function of boundary magnetic field in the vicinity of this tricritical point.</summary> <author> <name>Scott McGuire</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Syracuse Univ.</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <author> <name>Simon Catterall</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Syracuse Univ.</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <author> <name>Mark Bowick</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Syracuse Univ.</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <author> <name>Simeon Warner</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">LANL</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <arxiv:doi xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">10.1016/S0550-3213(01)00405-9</arxiv:doi> <arxiv:comment xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">32 pages, latex</arxiv:comment> <arxiv:journal_ref xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Nucl.Phys.

We find evidence for four phases in a two-dimensional parameter space. In two of these the boundary plays no dynamical role and the geometries are equivalent to those observed earlier for the sphere $S^4$. In another phase the boundary is maximal and the quantum geometry degenerates to a one dimensional branched polymer. In contrast we provide evidence that the fourth phase is effectively three-dimensional. We find discontinuous phase transitions at all the phase boundaries.</summary> <author> <name>Simeon Warner</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">LANL</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <author> <name>Simon Catterall</name> <arxiv:affiliation xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Syracuse University</arxiv:affiliation> </author> <arxiv:doi xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">10.1016/S0370-2693(00)01154-0</arxiv:doi> <arxiv:comment xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">13 pages, latex</arxiv:comment> <arxiv:journal_ref xmlns:arxiv="http://arxiv.org/schemas/atom">Phys.Lett.

Its operating range is 4-8 GHz. Resonator designs and modulation strategies will be discussed in the light of practical experience. (2) Both CW and pulsed NMR have been used to study the field dependence of the hyperfine splittings of $^{165}$Ho in HoF$_3$ and, as a dilute substituent, in YF$_3$. The low site symmetry results in a singlet crystal-field ground state for the Ho$^{3+}$ ion, giving Van Vleck paramagnetism and enhanced nuclear magnetism at low temperatures. The measurements were made at temperatures in the range 1.5 to 4.2 K and in fields of up to 8 T. This work has revealed, for the first time, distinct spectra from the two subtly inequivalent rare-earth sites in the orthorhombic unit cell. Because of the non-colinear spin structure of HoF$_3$, the NMR and magnetometry measurements give independent and complimentary information about the ionic moments. (3) The measured hyperfine splittings have been interpreted in terms of a 15-parameter crystal-field Hamiltonian appropriate to the $C_{1h}$ site symmetry. This work has entailed a substantial effort to clarify the notational confusion that exists in the literature. A computer program has been developed to automate conversion between notational conventions prior to diagonalization of the 136-dimensional electronic-nuclear Hamiltonian comprising the Zeeman, crystal-field and hyperfine interactions.
