As more libraries offer patron access to the Internet and other on-line services, they must consider the needs of patrons with disabilities who will be using their Internet links either from the library or from remote sites. In planning and implementing technological improvements to optimize access for all patrons, librarians and information specialists must take into account questions of both physical and intellectual access to electronic information. This paper addresses these issues from a pragmatic perspective, reviewing available options and suggesting strategies for improving access for people with various disabilities.

Mathematical simulation of fast neutron reactors requires high-precision calculations of protection problems based on unstructured meshes. The paper considers and analyzes a parallel version of the ODETTA code (Belousov et al. 2019) with the use of the MPI (Message Passing Interface) library technology (Knyazeva et al. 2006). The code is designed for numerical simulation of neutronic processes in shielding compositions of fast neutron lead cooled reactor plants in normal operating modes, and can be used to calculate the radiation conditions of using structural components and equipment of nuclear power facilities which are assumed to be the sources of and/or exposed to ionizing radiation during their safety justification. The operation of the generated code is compared against the previous version. The MPI-based development of the ODETTA code’s algorithmic part is described. Peculiarities and specific features of the code parallelization are presented, the code modification is given, and respective algorithms are considered. The structure of the ODETTA code based on the MPI is described in brief. The results of using the ODETTA code’s serial and parallel versions in OS Linux (Kostromin 2012) for NRNU MEPhI’s HPC cluster are provided (Savchenko et al. 2020). A comparative analysis is presented for two code implementation options in terms of speed and accuracy of results when using two different clusters and different numbers of nodes for these. Peculiarities of cluster-based calculations are noted.

In order to purify blood and adsorb β2M, a highly selective immunosorbent biomaterial based on nano antibody was designed. First of all, nanoantibodies against β2M in patients with renal failure are screened by phage display library technology. After 4 rounds of screening, 12 kinds of monoclonal phage samples are compared by ELISA, and the highest affinity sequence A53 is obtained. Then, the nano antibody A53 is transferred into two kinds of host bacteria respectively, and the host E. coli Shuffle T7 is selected, and then purified by nickel column affinity, thus obtaining high purity nano antibody A53S. Five kinds of nano antibody adsorbents are prepared by using A53S as a component of adsorbent. The results show that the effect of D series adsorbent with ɛ-poly-L-lysine as spacer is better, but the ligand density should be adjusted reasonably to ensure the activity of nanoantibody protein. When the loading concentration of β2M is set to 1.8 mg/ml, adsorbent D-1 can adsorb 11.78 mg/ml of dynamic adsorption capacity of β2M. This index is significantly higher than the dynamic adsorption capacity of plasma system under the same conditions (P < 0.05), which proves that the nano antibody adsorbent biomaterial can effectively adsorb β2M, thus reducing the probability of dialysis complications.

This paper presents a qualitative study on student adoption of mobile library technology in a developing world context. The findings support the applicability of a number of existing constructs from the technology acceptance literature, such as perceived ease of use, social influence and trust. However, they also suggest the need to modify some adoption factors previously found in the literature to fit the specific context of mobile library adoption. Perceived value was found to be a more relevant overarching adoption factor than perceived usefulness for this context. Facilitating conditions were identified as important but these differed somewhat from those covered in earlier literature. The research also uncovered the importance of trialability for this type of application. The findings provide a basis for improving theory in the area of mobile library adoption and suggest a number of practical design recommendations to help designers of mobile library technology to create applications that meet user needs.
