Dear professionals, Kindly arrange to get this article for my faculty and this is most urgent for his research. ------ Isolation and identification of airborne fungi that can cause asthma: a case study from Eastern Puerto Rico Author: Christian Velez, Antonio Gonzalez, Alberto Rivera Rentas Email author(s) Address: Universidad Metropolitana, San Juan, Puerto Rico. ' Universidad del Turabo, Gurabo, Puerto Rico. ' National Institute of General Medical Sciences, National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD 20892, USA Journal: International Journal of Environmental Technology and Management 2009 - Vol. 10, No.3/4 pp. 243 - 259 Abstract: Asthma is a growing worldwide chronic disease increasing in both prevalence and exacerbations throughout the late 20th century. The US. Centre for Disease Control reports showed that Puerto Rico had a higher overall prevalence of lifetime (19.6%) and current (11.6%) asthma. The central eastern region of the island has the highest prevalence in the age range of 0-17. The goal of this study was to isolate and identify airborne fungi that can contribute to asthma incidence in this part of the island. Air was sampled from 11 communities in the municipality of Caguas. A total of 514 isolates were identified to genus and spatial distribution of the identified fungi was completed using Geographic Information Systems to address potential geomorphologic and anthropogenic contributors for their presence. Four of the top six locations sampled with the highest number of colonies were classified as urban. These sites are developed areas and have moderate to high vehicular traffic. This work revealed the presence of fungal allergens that can be potential asthma triggers and establishes a rationale for future research in this area. Keywords: air quality; asthma triggers; environmental research; airborne fungi; outdoor exposure; Puerto Rico; GIS; geographic information systems; fungal allergens.

UGC proposes 20% faculty in Central Universities from other states
by Rahul Hiremath 02 Feb '12

02 Feb '12

UGC proposes 20% faculty in Central Universities from other states The University Grants Commission has mooted that 20 per cent of faculty posts in Central Universities should be filled from candidates from states other than where these institutions are located. The step would not just allow faculty mobility but will also promote national integration and check regionalism. The commission is also planning incentives for universities which adopt this proposal and ensure diversity in faculty population. “Recruitment of faculty should not be entirely from products of the same university; on the contrary, at least 20 per cent of the faculty should be from other states,” the proposal adds. Another proposal of the apex regulator moots reserving 20 per cent of seats in Central Varsities for students from states other than where these institutions are located. UGC has also proposed the creation of an Office of International Relations and Foreign Student Facilitation Centres in each of them to facilitate foreign students’ enrollment. The universities may also be given funds to construct hostels to house international students; the only clause being there must be a minimum of 50 foreign students at each university.

EPT Award to Dr Francis Jayakanth - Congratulations
by Ishwar Goudar 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Dear Professionals, Let us congratulate Dr Francis Jayakanth of National Centre for Science Information, Bangalore for having been chosen as the winner for the Electronic Publishing Trust for Development award in the first year of its establishment for playing a major role in Open Access movement among the developing countries. EPT has considered 8 aspects of contributions concerned to Institutional Repositories. Unlike other countries setting up of IRs is lead by LIS professionals in India. As seen by myself, the winner of this EPT award Dr Francis has contributed extensively in all 8 aspects specified by EPT. Apart from setting up of India's number one IISc-IR, Dr Francis has trained a number of students through NCSI , as well others for setting up of IRs. While his work has given a wide exposure to IISc research output, the Institute is yet to recognise his contributions suitably. It is unfortunate that NCSI is virtually closed. The legacy of my friend Late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar, one of the India's best LIS teacher and researcher, who was responsible in starting the NCSI course came to an end with his untimely tragic death. While the Institute did not take necessary steps to continue the course, friends like Francis have been doing their best to continue the works and contributions of Dr. Rajashekar. I hope our Professional friends will make use of expertise of Dr Francis in setting up of IRs in their organisations. Dr. I.R.N.

Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries
by * Mukesh - Monitor * 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for Academic and Research Libraries The mission of academic and research librarians is to enable teaching, learning, and research. Along with serving current faculty, researchers, and students (especially graduate students), these librarians also serve the general public, to whom academic and research libraries are often open. Finally, academic and research librarians are committed to faculty, researchers, and students of the future, who depend on the responsible collection, curation, and preservation of materials over time.
