We are carrying out a study of the physical parameters and excitation of low-ionization structures (LIS) in planetary nebulae (PNe). Since the optical morphology and kinematics of the LIS and the main components (rims, shells and haloes) of our sample were studied previously, our main goal now is to search for: i) the density contrasts between jets/knots and the main nebular components; ii) the...

In recent years, studies of Library and Information Science (LIS) disciplinarity developed original methods for examining the disciplinary composition of the field (Wiggins and Sawyer, 2012; Wu et al., 2011; Zhang et al., 2013). However, most of these studies focused on one fragment of the field, specifically, iSchool programs. In order to gain a fuller understanding of LIS development as a who...

In this paper, we propose a unified index, an orthogonal list-based index, to support real time queries of all longest increasingsubsequence (LIS) and LIS with constraints over sequential datastreams. The index built by our algorithm requires O(w) space,where w is the time window size. The running time for building theinitial index takes O(wlogw) time. Applying the index, de...

This paper reports on a study of the content of LIS journals published in Australasia (e.g., Australian Library Journal, Fiji Library Journal, New Zealand Libraries, Singapore Libraries). The study’s purpose is to analyse how the content of Australasian LIS journals is affecting knowledge creation among the LIS community of professionals, technicians, academics and students in Australasia. The ...

Locked-in syndrome (LIS) following ventral brainstem damage is the most severe form of motor disability. Patients are completely entrapped in an unresponsive body despite consciousness is preserved. Although the main feature of LIS is this extreme motor impairment, minor non-motor dysfunctions such as motor imagery defects and impaired emotional recognition have been reported suggesting an alte...

The NASA/GSFC Land Information System (LIS) has now been successfully coupled to the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) and Goddard Cumulus Ensemble (GCE) models using parallel techniques in a manner compliant with the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF). LIS is a highperformance Land Data Assimilation System (LDAS), developed under funding from ESTO-CT’s Round-3 CAN, whose TRL3 technolo...

Legume Information System (LIS), at http://legumeinfo.org, is a genomic data portal (GDP) for the legume family. LIS provides access to genetic and genomic information for major crop and model legumes. With more than two-dozen domesticated legume species, there are numerous specialists working on particular species, and also numerous GDPs for these species. LIS has been redesigned in the last t...

Lubricant-infused surfaces (LIS) have emerged as an innovative way to combat several modern challenges such biofouling, ice formation, and surface drag. The favorable properties of LIS are depen...

The purpose of this article is to suggest commons-based peer-production as a form of work that can help bridge the gap between research and practice in LIS. The research design is based on two in-depth and longitudinal qualitative case studies of collaborative projects involving LIS academics and practitioners in Italy. Analysis of interviews and texts was conducted to study the interplay betwe...
