Current cataloging guidelines for creating name authority records (NARs) royalty and nobility assume that an individual’s claim to a royal title is clear unambiguous. In the case of historical rebels, usurpers, eccentrics who titles themselves, however, are not so clear. When we attempt describe people places from disputed past, actively enter into their struggles power, but rules documents lik...

National Resilience esource Center © What works in prevention? This is the critical question substance abuse prevention programs face. Such inquiry invites new research agendas and leads to effective prevention programs. Working together, researchers and practitioners are discovering the answers. The success of this collaboration depends on admitting forthrightly what is not known. Knowing enou...

This paper studies Regularized Discriminant Analysis (RDA) in the context of face recognition. We check RDA sensitivity to different photometric preprocessing methods and compare its performance to other classifiers. Our study shows that RDA is better able to extract the relevant discriminatory information from training data than the other classifiers tested, thus obtaining a lower error rate. ...

It is widely recognised that libraries need to transform the way they present their collections to users. As library catalogues are still the main discovery tool for libraries’ resources, they need to change too. What can we do while we wait for the transformations possible with FRBR and RDA? This paper outlines The University of Auckland Library’s efforts to improve access to their resources. ...

1. Forty-two mothers from social classes I, II and III non-manual and twenty-one from social classes III manual M), IV and V were studied longitudinally. The mean daily nutrient intakes in months 4-9 of pregnancy, months 2-4 of lactation and 3 and 6 months post-lactation are presented and are compared with the UK and the US recommended daily allowances (RDA). 2. The quality of the diets (nutrie...

As natural eggs can contribute significantly to overcoming dietary deficits, we have designed and studied the composition of multiple-enriched eggs (Benefic eggs) whose composition is close to the natural egg. They are obtained by feeding laying hens in the usual way, but using additional autoclaved linseed, minerals, vitamins and lutein to provide the extra components. These eggs have greater ...

Using the recommended daily allowance (RDA) to assess dietary adequacy implies making a direct comparison between RDA and some measure of dietary intake. The value and usefulness of doing so must clearly depend on the limitations of each. By definition the RDA are intended to cover ‘the average amount of the nutrient, which should be provided per head in a group of people if the needs of practi...

We present a generalized multivariate seismic event identification method, Regularized Discrimination Analysis (RDA) [Friedman 1989], that can be applied to a large number of regional discriminants. RDA is readily adaptable to an outlier or classical identification approach to regional seismic identification. RDA is designed to address the problems associated with linear (LDA) and quadratic (QD...

The adult RDA is defined as the average daily level of intake sufficient to meet the nutrient requirements of nearly all healthy people. The RDA for protein for adults ≥18 y of age (0.8 g/kg) has been essentially unchanged for >70 y. In practice, the RDA for protein was derived to estimate the minimum amount of protein that must be eaten to avoid a loss of body nitrogen. The Acceptable Macronut...
