The Ph.D.-candidate as an information literate resource
2012
One of Agder University Librarys goals is to support teaching and research at the University of Agder (UoA). To do so, the library should be involved in research projects and offer the right products at the right time. The spring of 2012 a survey was conducted among researchers (academic staff and Ph.D.-students) at the faculty of humanities and education at UoA as well as the library staff. Aditional interviews was made with the library´s research librarians and two of the Ph.D.-students. The surveys and interviews made it clear that researchers and librarians have a different conception on what research support is and should be. While librarians focus mostly on library resources, the rese…
Understanding the ITIL Implementation Project: Conceptualization and Measurements
2011
The purpose of this research is to contribute to the theorizing of ITIL. The paper provides a model that conceptualizes the scope and content of an ITIL implementation project, and it tests and validates measurements based on a literature study and data from a survey of 446 Nordic ITIL experts.
Implementing IT Service Management: A systematic literature review
2013
Author's version of an article in the journal: International Journal of Information Management. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijinfomgt.2013.01.004 This article provides a systematic review of existing research related to the implementation of IT Service Management (ITSM) and the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL). The review's main goals are to support research; to facilitate other researchers' search for relevant studies; and to propose areas for future studies within this area. In addition, we provide IT managers with useful information on ITSM and ITIL, based on research-based knowledge of their implementation. The review results sug…
ViziQuer: A Tool to Explore and Query SPARQL Endpoints
2011
The presented tool uses a novel approach to explore and query a SPARQL endpoint. The tool is simple to use as a user needs only to enter an address of a SPARQL endpoint of one's interest. The tool will extract and visualize graphically the data schema of the endpoint. The user will be able to overview the data schema and use it to construct a SPARQL query according to the data schema. The tool can be downloaded from http://viziquer.lumii.lv. There is also additional information and help on how to use it in practice.
Combining OWL Ontologies Using -Connections
2006
The standardization of the Web Ontology Language, OWL, leaves (at least) two crucial issues for Web-based ontologies unsatisfactorily resolved, namely how to represent and reason with multiple distinct, but linked ontologies, and how to enable effective knowledge reuse and sharing on the Semantic Web. In this paper, we present a solution for these fundamental problems based on ℇ-Connections. We aim to use ℇ-Connections to provide modelers with suitable means for developing Web ontologies in a modular way and to provide an alternative to the owl:imports construct. With such motivation, we present in this paper a syntactic and semantic extension of the Web Ontology language that covers ℇ-Conn…
Certain advantages of Scopus compare with Web of Science in a bibliometric analysis related to smoking
2013
El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar entre Web of Science (WoS) y Scopus los indicadores bibliométricos básicos del área de tabaquismo de autores españoles en el período 2000-2009. Métodos: La búsqueda se realizó en el SCI-Expanded y Scopus (“smok*” OR “tobac*”). Resultados: La media total anual del nº de documentos fue de 41 ± 12 para WoS vs 60 ± 16 en Scopus (p = 0,007). Aumento progresivo del índice de colaboración. La media anual del índice de colaboración fue de 9,41 ± 2,73 en WoS vs 7,12 ± 1,52 en Scopus (p = 0,029). Mayor número de citas con el paso del tiempo en ambas bases de datos pero son más recientes las citas en Scopus, el índice citas/artículo fue mayor en WoS (WoS 14,47 v…

A novel putative insect chitinase with multiple catalytic domains: hormonal regulation during metamorphosis
2002
0264-6021 (Print) Journal Article Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; We have used differential display to identify genes that are regulated by juvenile hormone in the epidermis of the beetle Tenebrio molitor. One of the genes encodes T. molitor chitinase 5 (TmChit5), a chitinase possessing an unusual structure. Sequence analysis of TmChit5 identified five 'chitinase units' of approx. 480 amino acids with similarity to chitinase family 18. These units are separated by less conserved regions containing putative PEST (rich in proline, glutamic acid, serine and threonine) sequences, putative chitin-binding domains and mucin domains. Northern-blot analysis identified a single transcript of approx…
Developments in the use of baculoviruses for the surface display of complex eukaryotic proteins
2001
The ability to couple genotype to phenotype has proven to be of immense value in systems such as phage display and has allowed genes encoding novel functions to be selected directly from complex libraries. However, the complexity of many eukaryotic proteins places a severe constraint on successful display in Escherichia coli. This restriction could be resolved if a eukaryotic virus could be similarly engineered for display purposes. Preliminary data have suggested that the baculovirus Autographa californica, a multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) is a candidate for eukaryotic virus display because the insertion of peptides into the native virus coat protein, or the expression of for…
