Where do I search for electronic theses/dissertations published by other universties?
The best database for searching and locating electronic theses and dissertations not published by LSU is Proquest Dissertations and Theses: Global (https://libezp.lib.lsu.edu/login?url=https://search.proquest.com/pqdtgl…) . As the official digital dissertations archive for the Library of Congress and as the database of record for graduate research, PQDTGlobal includes millions of searchable citations to dissertations and theses from 1861 to the present day together with over a million full-text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format. You can find this database by going to the Databases tab on the library's homepage (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/) . Either search the name of the database or select the letter that its name begins with, and scroll down. The databases will be listed in alphabetical order. See the attached screenshot. In the event the title is not available digitally through this database, I would recommend placing an interlibrary loan (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/services/ill) request. They will try to borrow a hard copy from another library or explore purchase options for obtaining the title. eResources Staff Answered by: Electronic Resources

I have a folder or articles in my EBSCOhost account. On the left of each article, there are words like "export", "cite", and "notes". What do they do?
Please see the answers to your questions below about features in EBSCO's MyEBSCO folder. On the left of each article, there are words like "export", "cite", and "notes".
- These features allow you to manage the contents of the folder. For example, if you want to export the citation to a citation management (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/c.php?g=279388&p=1862193) tool like Endnote or Zotero, you can do that. Or if you want to make notes about the citation and come back to them at a later date, the note for that citation will still be there. If you are interested in learning more about citation management and how it can help you organize your research, refer to our Citation LibGuide (https://guides.lib.lsu.edu/citation) as well as our workshop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRcFIlrWpDg&list=PL5ZtZe36ynPlutYgX4_x0…) about Zotero where you will learn how to set up Zotero to save and store sources and generate citations. To view upcoming workshops, please use our events calendar (https://lsu.libcal.com/calendar/eventsandprogramming) . What do these features actually do? How long does content remain in my folder?
- As long as you are logged into the MyEBSCOhost platform, the citations will stay there until you remove them. Here are some FAQs (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/EBSCOhost-Folder-Frequently-Asked-Q….) regarding how long content is kept in the folder. How do I delete an article from my folder if it is not relevant?
- To remove result(s) from your personalized folder, select the result by clicking on the appropriate check box, then click the Delete Items link. You may find this page (https://connect.ebsco.com/s/article/How-to-Use-the-My-EBSCOhost-Folder?…) useful in learning how to use the folder as well. Feel free to reach out to your subject librarian (https://www.lib.lsu.edu/staff?field_staff_type=2&search_api_staff=&fiel…) for more assistance. eResources Staff Answered by: Electronic Resources

Collaborative Forecasting and Analysis of Fish Catch in Hokkaido From Multiple Scales by Using Neural Network and ARIMA Model
Fishery catch forecasting is a crucial aspect of aquatic research because of its relevance to establishing effective fishery management and resource allocation systems. In this study, we aim to forecast and analyze fish catch by collaboratively processing data using methods at multiple scales. To this end, we propose two computational fishery catch forecasting models. A neural network model based on the multi-timescale features of a convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory neural network is proposed and implemented to forecast short-term measures for the daily catch in the eastern ports of Hokkaido, Japan. Similarly, we propose a long-term catch forecasting and analysis model combining the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) method and a neural network to explore short-term water temperature and long-term catch dependence in the case of sparse data; we implement this method to investigate the total monthly catch in Hokkaido. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods were able to effectively forecast and analyze fishery catch based on different data scales, volumes, and other complex situations. This is also the first work in the field that considers multiple perspectives.

Status of 54 Fishery Resources Exploited by the Gujarat Fleet in the Northeastern Arabian Sea Using the Monte Carlo Catch-MSY (CMSY) Method
The maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and status of 54 fishery resources exploited by the Gujarat fishing fleet in the northeastern Arabian Sea were assessed using the data-limited CMSY method. The prioritized fishery resources in this study make a significant contribution to the total marine catch in the region and play a vital role in trophic interactions. The Gujarat marine fisheries recorded an annual percentage growth rate of 5.04 per year from 1985 to 2018. The MSY was computed at 8.73 × 105 t across all resources. The biomass indicators (B/BMSY) indicated alarming overexploitation for commercially exploited resources like Bregmaceros mcclellandi, Tenualosa ilisha, Coilia dussumieri, Euthynnus affinis, Thunnus tonggol, Scomberoides spp., Psettodes erumei, Pampus argenteus, etc. Stock assessment using biological reference points (B/BMSY, F/FMSY) classified 39 resources were found either healthy or slightly overfished (B/BMSY>0.8), while 13 showed varying degrees of overexploitation, including 2 severely depleted species (unicorn cod, silverbellies). The rampant increase of fishing efforts and target exploitation can cause the collapse or overfishing of resources, which eventually affects the integrity of the ecosystem. The fishery and biomass indicators computed in the current study suggest periodic monitoring of overexploited stocks and a framework of rebuilding strategies for grossly overfished and overfished resources.Clinical Trial Number: Not applicable.
Visual formats in risk preference elicitation: What catches the eye?
We explore the effect of lottery presentation formats on elicitation of risk preferences using a popular probability varying task (Holt & Laury. The American Economic Review92 (5), 1644–1655. 2002) and a payoff-varying task (Drichoutis & Lusk. Journal of Risk and Uncertainty53 (2), 89–106. 2016). The presentation formats use horizontal bars that vary either the width or height of the bars (or both at the same time) to help subjects in judging how large or small probabilities and monetary amounts are in a given choice set. These graphical formats are compared to a text only format. We complement our choice data with eye tracking data that enriches our structural models with additional information regarding how visual attention varies with the presented information. While we find no statistically significant effects of presentation formats on elicited parameters for risk preferences, we find that eye tracking information not only is associated with preference parameters, but it also changes the inferences with respect to which decision theory better fits the choice data.
Catch My Errors if You Can: The Relative Value of Peer Editing in the Language Classroom
Even though peer review enjoys sound theoretical support, classroom research has not always provided a clear picture of its effectiveness, particularly when it comes to form-focused editing. In addition to yielding conflicting findings with respect to the number of corrections students make based on peer feedback (Connor & Asenavage, 1994; Mendonça & Johnson, 1994; Paulus, 1999; Villamil & de Guerrero, 1998), several gaps in the literature remain unaddressed, particularly in terms of error detection rates. This study sought to determine to what extent learners are able to (a) detect errors during peer editing, (b) provide each other with correct information, and (c) incorporate peer-provided suggestions in subsequent individual writing tasks. Participants were 20 undergraduate students enrolled in an intermediate Spanish course. They individually wrote a story based on pictures, exchanged papers with a partner, and provided each other with feedback on lexical, grammatical, and orthographic issues. The learners' audio-recorded interactions and the narratives produced by the learners during and after the peer-editing session were analyzed. Results indicate that even though learners detect a small proportion of errors, the majority of corrections were accurate and were incorporated in writing tasks completed immediately after the peer editing session, as well as two weeks later.
Stepwise Artificial Yarn Muscles with Energy-Free Catch States Driven by Aluminum-Ion Insertion
Present artificial muscles have been suffering from poor actuation step precision and the need of energy input to maintain actuated states due to weak interactions between guest and host materials or the unstable structural changes. Herein, these challenges are addressed by deploying a mechanism of reversible faradaic insertion and extraction reactions between tetrachloroaluminate ions and collapsed carbon nanotubes. This mechanism allows tetrachloroaluminate ions as a strong but dynamic “locker” to achieve an energy-free high-tension catch state and programmable stepwise actuation in the yarn muscle. When powered off, the muscle nearly 100% maintained any achieved contractile strokes even under loads up to 96,000 times the muscle weight. The actuation mechanism allowed the programmable control of stroke steps down to 1% during reversible actuation. The isometric stress generated by the yarn muscle (14.6 MPa in maximum, 40 times that of skeletal muscles) was also energy freely lockable and step controllable with high precision. Importantly, when fully charged, the muscle stored energy with a high capacity of 102 mAh g–1, allowing the muscle as a battery to power secondary muscles or other devices.
