The author generalizes the results of library user survey. The survey was held within the framework of the study “Webometric monitoring of libraries”. The study goal was to assess the virtual geography of library website users and to specify target audience. The user audience of 11 library websites was assessed by following criteria: geographical data (user location, probable user residence area); user demographic data (sex, age); loyalty indicators (bounce rate, visit depth, visit duration); website user desired actions (estimation of desired action conversion). Based on the findings, the author concludes that: library offline services impact website user geography; there is a close interdependence between library location and website traffic; users resident in the library region make the most loyal website users; women prevail in the library user audience. The target website user audience is identified; recommendations are offered for the further strategic development in the web-space. The study conclusions and recommendations would facilitate generated demanded content and efficient promotion of library information resources and services in the web-space.

The official Website of an academic library has a different role to play in the Internet scheme of disseminating information. In this respect, considerable thought should be given on the kind of information provided and the way of its presentation on the Web. This chapter aims to study NIT and its library Websites in India. The analysis of the data represents the extent and the level of credibility possessed by the NIT Websites in India, which is the key to any successful Website of any organization, especially of any academic library.

<strong>Abstract:</strong> Selection and implementation of a web scale Discovery tool by The Rider University Libraries (RUL) in the 2011-2012 academic year revealed the practical complexity of the endeavor. Research into the state of adoption of Web-scale Discovery tools in North America and the evolution of product effectiveness provided a starting point. The study reported here evaluated a total of 14 major Discovery tools (3 open source and 10 proprietary). The evaluation involves a check list of 16 criteria recognized as the advanced features of a modern OPAC. Some of the features have been used in previous research on Discovery tools and the next generation catalog. The authors examined 5 to 7 library websites that deployed a Discovery tool before a determination is made as to the presence or absence of a feature for a particular Discovery tool. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare all the major Discovery tools. These findings will serve to update librarians on the latest development in the library user interface and assist them in their adoption of a Discovery tool.

The dorsal rotational advancement flap described by Buck-Gramcko in 1998 is a good local flap for release of the thumb index web space. This paper describes a modification which broadens the apex of the flap and increases its length. This modification provides a long wide flap which releases the thumb index web space with suture lines far beyond the web. In addition, it provides a release of the palmar skin even when very tight in severe narrowing of the web. It is suitable for release of thumb–index syndactyly, severe narrowing of the web in thumb hypoplasia and congenital clasped thumb.

Stiffness of the interphalangeal joints of the fingers is a constant feature of Apert’s syndrome. Because of this stiffness, the author has used split-thickness skin grafts when correcting Apert’s syndactyly, thinking that contraction of such grafts post-operatively would not cause any joint contracture or finger deviation. This paper reports the results of eight patients whose average age at first surgery was 6 months. Separation of all digits was accomplished before the age of 2 years. A dorsal rectangular flap and interposing triangular digital flaps were utilised to create the web space and partially cover the skin defects in the fingers. The remaining digital defects were covered with thin split-thickness skin grafts which took fully in all cases. At final follow-up (1–6 years), the areas covered by skin grafts have reduced in size significantly because of skin graft contraction. However, this did not result joint contracture or digital deviation.

The results of 144 congenital syndactyly releases over a 12-year period by a single surgeon using a modified Flatt technique (dorsal hourglass flap, interdigitating zigzag flaps, and full-thickness skin grafts) are analyzed considering the association of skin grafts and web creep. The mean follow-up was 5 years. There were seven cases of graft failure, only one of which developed web creep. Web creep occurred in 4.2% of web releases. The results suggest that avoiding longitudinal straight-line scars across the web space may be an important factor in avoiding web creep when performing the modified Flatt technique described.

Background: Syndactyly is a congenital anomaly, basic principles of surgical release of syndactyly have been well established, each patient requires a thorough assessment of the soft-tissue and bony components in the syndactylized region. Reconstruction must be planned carefully when more than two digits are involved or when the syndactyly is a component of a systemic congenital syndrome. The aim of the treatment strategies for syndactyly is to separate the fused digits, create a functional hand, and produce an aesthetically acceptable web.Methods: The prospective clinical study is conducted in the Department of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery, between October 2016 to October 2018. Twenty six patients with congenital syndactyly and post burn syndactyly of fingers were included in this study.Results: There were no intra operative complications and no cases had any neurovascular compromise. Integrity of Dorsal and volar flaps, quality of scars, aesthetical aspects of fingers are reasonably good in almost all the cases that are operated in this study. Overall 97% of patients treated achieved good function and superior results following single surgery.Conclusions: Primary syndactyly is more common than secondary syndactyly. In this study the primary goal is separation of fused digits/toes and covering the web space with dorsal flap, and covering the separated digits/ toes with a graft and create a functional hand and produce an aesthetically web with fewest complications and fewest surgical corrections.

В статье предлагается подход к аутентификации пользователя в веб-пространстве с помощью сравнения интегрированных показателей отпечатков браузера. Интегрированный показатель вычисляется дифференцированно в зависимости от класса защищаемой системы, имеющихся факторов аутентификации и аппаратных характеристик вычислительных систем, используемых субъектами доступа. Также в статье рассмотрены группы идентифицирующих пользователя статичных и поведенческих признаков, приведены параметры, рассчитываемые с помощью JavaScript библиотеки Fingerprint.js. Проведенный эксперимент подтвердил успешное применение предложенного подхода для нескольких наборов отпечатков браузера, полученных экспериментально. This article presents an approach to user authentication in the web space by comparing the integrated metrics of browser fingerprints. The integrated indicator is calculated differentially depending on the class of the protected system, the available authentication factors and the hardware characteristics of the computing systems used by the access subjects. The experiment carried out confirmed the successful application of the method for a specific practically obtained set of browser fingerprints.
