One of the major issues in the management of academic libraries is the dual nature of staffing: the professional and the paraprofessional. Using the Academic Affairs Library of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill as a case study, this project investigates whether professional and paraprofessional staff in large academic libraries experience significantly different levels and sources of job satisfaction. Over 140 library employees were administered a modified version of Paul Spector’s Job Satisfaction Survey, a standard instrument used to measure job satisfaction of employees in non-profit and human services organizations. While both types of staff were basically satisfied with their jobs, there were significant differences in levels of satisfaction in several areas. Professionals were significantly more satisfied than paraprofessionals in the areas of enjoyment of the work itself, coworkers, appreciation and recognition, promotion, pay, and overall satisfaction. Reasons for these differences are suggested as well as possible means to bridge the gaps between the two groups.

The significance of studying the job satisfaction of librarians has been made discussion in the present study. The study concentrates on a comparison of the job satisfaction among LIS Professionals in Vijayapura District. Data were collected by means of the structured Questionnaire. A total of 50 questionnaires distributed and were collected and analysed as per the objectives of the study. The result shows that library professionals working in these institutions were slightly satisfied with their nature of work; they were dissatisfied with supervision, benefits, promotion, revision of service structure, promotion policies and improvement.
In this paper the inverter has been simulated to operate in over-modulation region to utilize maximum of the DC bus voltage. During the operation of NPC in over-modulation zone, the output has flat topped waveform i.e. the upper part gets clipped-off because of operation in over-modulation. By considering, NPC inverter as a system based on single pole triple throw switch so that it can be applied ±0.5Vdc and zero voltage at the load terminal is achieved. The number of level counts on the basis of the line-to-line pole voltage so can also be called a 5-level inverter as we have shown, in this paper, the number of levels is equivalent to the number of pole voltages.

My article deals with a characteristic, albeit mostly neglected motif of Roman architecture: pierced crestings (sima attachments). Inherited from Etrusco-Italic predecessors, the use of this kind of decoration continued well into the Imperial age. It is attested among the so-called Campana reliefs and, at the same time, in the stone architecture of the Roman provinces, but the evidence from Imperial Rome itself is very scarce. Hence, any presence in Imperial temple architecture initially seems to be a question of little importance. However, as this article argues, a significant number of architectural images should actually be understood as depicting such ‘pierced crestings’ and surviving well on into the 2nd century C.E. Starting with a section on the methodology involved, this article reviews anew the extant depictions of decorated temple pediments on historical reliefs and coins from the urbs. It then tries to track down the motif’s apparent religious connotations by examining the Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus on the Capitoline Hill. Finally, the article re-assesses the former importance of this old and conspicuous motif for Roman temples, which in Antiquity seems to have been tightly linked to expressing their majestic grandeur (possibly in the form of gilded appliques, as the appendix suggests).
