Information Resources Generated by the Largest Library in Siberia to Support Multidisciplinary Research

The article presents the evolution of the bibliographic resources created by Gosudarstvennaia publichnaia nauchno-tekhnicheskaia biblioteka Sibirskogo otdeleniia Rossiiskoi akademii nauk (GPNTB SO RAN) [State Public Scientific-Technological Library of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences] to provide information support to researchers of SO RAN. The components of these resources are described briefly: bibliographic databases, databases of abstracts, full-text thematic databases, and problem-specific databases. Also discussed are ways to improve these library information products.     

The Archival and Library Viewpoints of a Collection in a Digital Environment: Is There Any Room for Compromise?

ABSTRACT

This article explores the archivists' and librarians' definition of a collection, and how they respectively arrange their collections in the context of collection development and collection management issues in a digital library. It centers on possible cooperative solutions and highlights, as a case study, the efforts of the Auburn University Digital Projects Committee to meet these challenging collection issues.     

Effects of caffeine on time trial performance in sedentary men

Abstract

It is not known if ergogenic effects of caffeine ingestion in athletic groups occur in the sedentary. To investigate this, we used a counterbalanced, double-blind, crossover design to examine the effects of caffeine ingestion (6 mg · kg^?1 body-mass) on exercise performance, substrate utilisation and perceived exertion during 30 minutes of self-paced stationary cycling in sedentary men. Participants performed two trials, one week apart, after ingestion of either caffeine or placebo one hour before exercise. Participants were instructed to cycle as quickly as they could during each trial. External work (J · kg^?1) after caffeine ingestion was greater than after placebo (P = 0.001, effect size [ES] = 0.3). Further, heart rate, oxygen uptake and energy expenditure during exercise were greater after caffeine ingestion (P = 0.031, ES = 0.4; P = 0.009, ES = 0.3 and P = 0.018, ES = 0.3; respectively), whereas ratings of perceived exertion and respiratory exchange ratio values did not differ between trials (P = 0.877, ES = 0.1; P = 0.760, ES = 0.1; respectively). The ability to do more exercise after caffeine ingestion, without an accompanying increase in effort sensation, could motivate sedentary men to participate in exercise more often and so reduce adverse effects of inactivity on health.     

Effect of sulphurous mineral water in haematological and biochemical markers of muscle damage after an endurance exercise in well-trained athletes

Abstract

To investigate the effects of sulphurous mineral water (SMW) after a hydroponic treatment on muscle damage, antioxidant activity and peripheral blood changes induced by submaximal exercise. Thirty well-trained male triathletes were supplemented with SMW or placebo: 3 weeks of placebo, 30 days of wash out and 3 weeks of SMW. After both periods, participants ran for 2 h at 70% maximal aerobic speed. Antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant capacity and blood cell markers were compared between placebo and SMW at pre-exercise (T₀), immediately post-exercise (T₁), 24 h post-exercise (T₂) and 48 h post-exercise (T₃). Total thiols decreased until T₃ vs. T₀ for both placebo and SMW; transient red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit increased were shown at T₁ vs. T₀ and for leucocytes until T₂ vs. T₀, only for placebo group. Total thiols increased significantly in SMW vs. placebo at T₀; Thiobarbituric acid reactive species was significantly higher at T₀, T₁, T₂ and T₃; catalase increased significantly at T₁; creatine phosphokinase decreased significantly at T₁, T₂ and T₃, although no significant differences were found at T₀. Furthermore, red blood cells, haemoglobin and haematocrit were significantly higher and leucocytes were significantly lower at T₀ and T₁ in SMW group vs. placebo group. This study suggests that three weeks of SMW supplementation may protect from exercise-induced muscle damage.     

The effect of acute caffeine ingestion on upper and lower body anaerobic exercise performance

Abstract

The current study examined the effect of acute caffeine ingestion on mean and peak power production, fatigue index and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) during upper body and lower body Wingate anaerobic test (WANT) performance. Using a double-blind design, 22 males undertook one upper body and one lower body WANT, 60?min following ingestion of caffeine (5?mg*kg^?1) and one upper body and one lower body WANT following ingestion of placebo (5?mg*kg^?1 Dextrose). Peak power was significantly higher (P?=?.001) following caffeine ingestion in both upper and lower body WANT. Peak power and mean power was also significantly higher during lower body, compared to upper body WANTs irrespective of substance ingested. However, caffeine ingestion did not enhance mean power neither in upper nor lower-body WANT. There were no significant differences in mean fatigue index as a consequence of substance ingested or mode of exercise (all P?>?0.05). For RPE there was also a significant substance ingested X mode interaction (P?=?.001) where there were no differences in RPE between caffeine and placebo conditions in lower body WANTs but significantly lower RPE during upper body WANT in the presence of caffeine compared to placebo (P?=?.014). This is the first study to compare the effects of caffeine ingestion on upper and lower body 30-second WANT performance and suggests that caffeine ingestion in the dose of 5?mg*kg^?1 ingested 60?min prior to exercise significantly enhances peak power when data from upper and lower body WANTs are combined.

编码档案著录标准（EAD）的开发、实施和评价

编码档案著录标准 (EAD) 是档案管理员为改善著录和利用馆藏的方式而开发的一种标准，始于20世纪90年代。EAD以SGML作为编码语言，并以SGML DTD（文件类型定义）形式表示EAD内容与结构。EAD的开发和实施是极为迅速和广泛的,它作为一种档案著录标准，具有很大的发展潜力。本文研究了EAD的起源、结构，分析了EAD的开发和实施现况，并从正反两方面对EAD进行了评价。     

国外图书馆对弱势群体知识援助的历史与现状

公共图书馆对弱势群体的知识援助贯穿了整个公共图书馆发展历史,从最初为弱势群体打开知识大门到关注他们的知识平等获取,再到帮助弱势群体增长知识素养,可以说知识援助的广度和深度都在不断拓展。关注知识贫困、弥合知识鸿沟,将是当代图书馆发展面临的迫切任务。     

国外档案编目编码技术标准发展概述

档案编目编码技术（ＥＡＤ）开发始于２０世纪９０年代。其技术基础是图书目录学的技术标准,包括ＭＡＲＣ、ＭＡＲＣ ＡＭＣ、ＳＧＭＬ、ＴＨＭＬ、ＸＭＬ等。ＥＡＤ的发展使档案在服务观念和服务手段等方面都从传统的“保管”转变到现代信息社会的信息利用上,ＥＡＤ的发展历程说明：人类信息资源共享建设需要来自图书馆、情报学、档案部门以及计算机技术等多种学科领域的共同努力来实现。
