Examining the Role of Peer and Family Belongingness in the Mental Health of Black LGBTQ + Youth
(Taylor & Francis, 0023-09-27) Watts, Keith, J.; Wagaman, M. Alex; Eaton, Andrew D.; Leung, Vivian W.Y.; Craig, Shelley L.
A sense of belonging to familial and peer networks is crucial for the mental health of LGBTQ+ youth. Black LGBTQ+ youth report feeling rejected and isolated due to their sexual and/or gender identities. Utilizing linear regression analyses, this study explored the relationship between peer and family belongingness and levels of depression, anxiety, and self-rated mental health among 181 Black LGBTQ+ youth in the United States and Canada . Findings suggest that family and peer belongingness are important factors in Black LGBTQ+ youth's mental health and warrant further study into the protective nature of peer and family relationships for this population.

Resistance to online catalogs: a comparative study at Bryn Mawr and Swarthmore Colleges
(American Library Association, 1986-10) Hixson, Carol G.; Williamson, Susan G.; White, Howard
Surveys of student and faculty attitudes toward proposed online public access catalogs were conducted in 1984 with largely identical questionnaires at two colleges. Support for the traditional card catalog was strong among both students and faculty at both colleges; only Swarthmore faculty gave majority support to the online catalog. A minority of perhaps one in six may never use the new technology. Resistance to change was proportionately highest in the humanities and lowest in the sciences, with social sciences in between. Respondents were unused to waiting for access to the card catalog and seemed unlikely to tolerate more than brief waits for the online catalog. While unconcerned about keeping online searches private, they did not like the idea of searching as others waited. Perceptions of the online catalog were sometimes positive; many welcomed the idea of terminals in faculty offices and student dormitories. Differences between the two colleges, while not great, may result from Swarthmore's greater experience with campuswide computing.

The Economy of Jars: Kindred Relationships in Bulgaria - An Exploration
(Ethnologia Europaea, 1989) Smollett, Eleanor Wenkart
People transform inherited cultural patterns to serve their needs under new circumstances. Networks of kindred relationships exemplify this process. Under socialist conditions in Bulgaria, kindred relationships assist in people's transitions from cooperative farming to the working class, and from rural to urban life. Kin connections also contribute to solving life problems for which social solutlons a re not yet adequately institutionalized. Research should examine kin networks in their contemporary roles, rather than viewing the importance of kinship connections as merely an anachronism.

Life Cycle and Career Cycle in Socialist Bulgaria
(Culture, 1989) Smollett, Eleanor Wenkart
The author examines changes in the interaction between life cycle patterns and career patterns during the period of socialist development in Bulgaria. She explores the implications for the interconnected problems of young people and middle-aged people regarding their roles - productive and reproductive - in the society. The author has made eight research trips to Bulgaria, over an eighteen year period. As background to the analysis, the author reviews the changes in Bulgarian society up to summer, 1989, particularly developments during the socialist period from 1944.

Offloading or staff development? : Team cataloging at the University of Florida
(Haworth Press, 1992) Hixson, Carol G.; Botero, Cecilia
The team approach to original monograph cataloging and serials CONSER upgrades was explored at the University of Florida. Teams of librarians and library assistants worked together to produce a finished product in an effort to handle problematic materials more efficiently. The initial project led to major reworking of assignments and to increased levels of professionalism and cooperation among all levels of cataloging staff.

The Escape Buffer: Efficient Computation of Escape Time for Linear Fractals
(Canadian Human Computer Communications Society, 1995-05-17) Hepting, Daryl H.; Hart, John
The study of linear fractals has gained a great deal from the study of quadratic fractals, despite important differences. Methods for classifying points in the complement of a fractal shape were originally developed for quadratic fractals, to provide insight into their underlying dynamics. These methods were later modified for use with linear fractals. This paper reconsiders one such classification, called escape time, and presents a new algorithm for its computation that is significantly faster and conceptually simpler. Previous methods worked backwards, by mapping pixels into classified regions, whereas the new forward algorithm uses an "escape buffer" to map classified regions onto pixels. The efficiency of the escape buffer is justified by a careful analysis of its performance on linear fractals with various properties.

Post-magmatic alteration in eudialyte from the North Qoroq centre, South Greenland
(Mineralogical Society of Great Britian, 1997-02) Coulson, Ian
The North Qoroq centre comprises a series of nested nepheline syenite intrusions and forms part of the midlate Proterozoic Gardar province of South Greenland. Within the centre fractionation has produced varied rock types ranging from augite-syenite to lujavrite, a eudialyte microsyenite. Samples of eudialyte from the lujavrites of unit SN1B of the centre show evidence for two-stage alteration. This alteration ranges from slight modification along crystal margins to complete breakdown and replacement by new pseudomorphing phases. Modification to crystal margins is accompanied by increasing Nb and Zr contents and is related to metasomatism produced by the intrusion of younger syenite units of the North Qoroq centre. More extensive alteration is as a result of metasomatism followed by lower-temperature supergene alteration. Simplified reactions for this breakdown include eudialyte + metasomatic fluid = allanite + nepheline; eudialyte + metasomatic fluid = titanite + aegirine + mesandrite + w6hlerite; eudialyte + fluid = zirfesite + fluid. Mass balance calculations for altered compared with unaltered samples of lujavrite show that alteration took place at approximately constant volume with an overall increase in Fe (+2.41 g/100g), Si and K (+0.65 and +0.61 g/ 100g), whilst Na (-2.67 g/100g) and all trace elements, particularly La, Y, Nb and Zr (-5.6 to -166 g/ 10000g) are lost from the system.

White Paper on PCC Role in Continuing Education for Catalogers
(Program for Cooperative Cataloging, 2001-10-05) Hixson, Carol G.; Hirons, Jean L.
The authors presented the need for the involvement of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) in the development of general continuing education for catalogers. Citing the results of several studies, they documented the need and recommended that the PCC adopt a leadership role in this area. The paper was prepared for discussion at the November 2001 meeting of the PCC Policy Committee held at the Library of Congress.
