Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate
Performance of steers grazing photoperiod-sensitive and brown midrib varieties of sorghum-sudangrass
No full textSorghum-sudangrass hybrids can be used for stocker cattle grazing during the summer months. This type of vegetation provides an abundance of forage; however, nutritional value can vary among varieties. Brown midrib varieties contain less lignin and are generally more digestible than varieties that do not carry the brown midrib trait. In previous research conducted at the Texas A&M University Bush Farm, Bushland, Texas, stocker cattle grazing a brown midrib variety gained weight more rapidly than those grazing a non-brown midrib variety (Banta et al., 2001). In recent years, more varieties carrying the photoperiod-sensitive trait have been released. The photoperiod-sensitive trait delays initiation of the reproductive stage until daylength is less than 12 hours and 20 minutes, or about mid-September in the Panhandle region. In silage evaluations at Bushland, the photoperiod-sensitive varieties have generally produced higher yields but with relatively lower digestibility than varieties without the photoperiod trait. In the initial year of this grazing study, the photoperiod-sensitive varieties tended to produce lower daily gains but supported more days of grazing per acre. This report summarizes the second year of a grazing trial comparing performance of steers grazing photoperiod sensitive and brown midrib sorghum-sudangrass hybrids

Magnetic resonance imaging using a reduced number of echo acquisitions
No full textAccording to one embodiment of the invention, an apparatus for magnetic resonance imaging is provided. The apparatus includes a detection surface defined by a plurality of sensors. Each of the sensors is operable to receive image information concerning a particular portion of a target surface by substantially confining to the each of the sensors magnetic flux associated with the particular portion of the target surface. The detection surface is operable to acquire all image information for generating a magnetic resonance image resembling the target surface by receiving, at the each of the sensors, a single echo signal from the particular portion of the target surface that correspondingly underlies the each of the sensors. The magnetic resonance image has a resolution of at least sixty-four pixels by a number of pixels equal to M. M is an integer.U
