The Research Data Alliance (RDA) builds the social and technical bridges that enable open sharing of data.â Now in its third year, the Research Data Alliance has grown to over 3000 members from more than 100 countries worldwide. The RDA envisions open sharing of data across borders, technologies, and disciplines. With IU officially joining as a member organization in July of 2015, it is a good time to review the activity from the RDA with the researchers and IT professionals at IU that might benefit from the results and outputs. The presentation discusses the RDA organization structure, IU' s role as a member organization, and the current activities and outputs from the RDA working groups. This allows the technical and professional staff at IU to offer feedback on what important Big Data issues they face and how these issues might lead to discussion and action within RDA.

These records contain information about select teachers in Lake County, Indiana during most of the 1930s. The collection is arranged alphabetically by teacher surname. Types of data include address (local and home), high school attended with graduation date, advanced training institutions attended and graduation dates, experience by county and/or state, grades taught, total years/months, Indiana license grade levels, issue dates, and expiration dates, high school subjects taught, monthly salary, number of pupils, and present school assignment.

This index of employee names was created from the original personnel cards housed at Indiana University Northwest’s Calumet Regional Archives from the Indiana locations. Although the records are not complete from the Michigan City plant for the entire period from 1912 to the 1970’s, there may be information that will assist researchers with finding key details of a family member. The Hammond Pullman plant was merged with the Haskell Barker Company of Michigan City in 1922.

Thesis (Ph.D.) - Indiana University, Education, 2015; This study was the first formal look at a cooperative learning strategy, Think-Pair-Think-Share (TPTS), designed to aid learners who struggle with academic language. TPTS allowed quiet time for individual thought when the memory of those with language differences was heavily taxed. This qualitative interview study with a descriptive issue-focused analysis described the experiences of six students in a private Indiana high school geometry classroom over a three-month period. I interviewed each of these subjects one month prior to the first class session that involved TPTS, following one class session using video-stimulated recall, the day following the last observed session, and one month later in a focus group. The four additional students in the classroom were included in field notes and videotapes to document their interactions with the six chosen students. The analysis focused on the students’ usage of mathematics vocabulary, cultural connections, response variety, and gestures showing cognitive shifts and observable activity during quiet times. Students who struggled with language comprehension or vocabulary found additional quiet time useful when they knew they would be required to explain thinking to the class. Discussing mathematics tasks with peers increased their understanding above teacher lecture alone. Fluency with mathematics vocabulary and variation of solutions increased. Finally...

This article discusses quilts in the Polk's Fancy pattern, an example of the red, green, and white classic floral quilt style. The pattern apparently originated in the Mexican American War (1846-48) era in southern Indiana.

Efforts to map the human protein interactome have resulted in information about thousands of multi-protein assemblies housed in public repositories, but the molecular characterization and stoichiometry of their protein subunits remains largely unknown. Here, we report a computational search strategy for hierarchical top-down analysis, identification, and scoring of multi-proteoform complexes by native mass spectrometry.; The authors thank members of the Kelleher research group and Prof. V.

In October the Northwest Indiana Coincident Index remained at 141.3. The index remains unchanged despite a 5% increase in steel production and the addition of 2,300 jobs, which returns employment to the level from the start of the year.

In September 2014, the Indiana University (IU) Office of the Vice President for IT and CIO (OVPIT) requested an independent value assessment of IU’s cyberinfrastructure (CI) from the perspective of current and former IU faculty. This report includes the detailed findings of the assessment and provides recommendations for improving the value of IU’s services to faculty.
