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
Mapping the terrain
No full textThe 182-page book demonstrates that innovation continues to be prominent within the construction industry and that innovation can occur through leadership from competent clients who know what they want and are willing to work with the delivery team towards developing new processes and principles to achieve their goals. \ud
How stakeholders work together to solve problems is a key focus of this publication. It analyses the role of the client in the innovation process throughout the construction industry. Incorporating different industrial and organisational settings from a range of perspectives, this volume provides frameworks, concepts and case studies to further the knowledge and understanding of the client in the innovation processand establishes an agenda for capitalising on the benefits of innovation in construction. \ud
\ud
The rich array of case studies translates some of the research results into a broader organisational and industry context. The lessons from the cases establish good-practice examples that demonstrate ways of addressing real problems or offering new ways of thinking about old problems. The recurring themes of innovation, relationships and collaboration are allied to the need to work together in new ways to prevent the innovation lag time, ensure that innovation meets the needs of all stakeholders and is able to be implemented across the industry

Mixed mode simulation of oversampled A/D converters
No full textThe performance of conventional A-D converters is limited by the precision of the analogue components involved, and by second order effects in device characteristics. The circuit-level simulation of A-D converters requires unreasonable CPU time. Most of the computational effort is wasted by the need to model the entire circuit at the device level, including logic devices. The simulation of oversampled sigma-delta converters presents further problems. As their performance is quantified by the signal to noise ratio at the output, large amounts of time point data are needed.Until now, it has therefore only been possible to simulate sigma- delta converters by means of a completely functional description. The circuit-level non-idealities must be modelled in this description. It would be better to simulate the analogue parts of the circuit at a circuit-level. leaving the digital parts to be simulated rapidly at the logic-level. This paper describes how a mixed-mode simulator has been used to analyse the behaviour of a switched capacitor sigma-delta converter

Simulation data: Experiments in Globalisation, Food Security and Land Use Decision Making
No full textThis zip file contains all simulation data produced for the publication
Calum Brown, Dave Murray-Rust, Jasper van Vliet, Shah Jamal Alam, Peter H Verburg, Mark D Rounsevell (2014) Experiments in globalisation, food security and land use decision making.
Once unzipped, the folder has the following structure: every sub-experiment (regionalisation) of the 19 experiments described in the text has its own folder. Within each, 30 simulations of each sub-experiment has a further folder and within each of these, csv files give the coordinates of modelled cells, capital values for each cell, agent type owning each cell, the individual agent's competitiveness on that cell, and the quantities of services produced. There is one csv file for each timestep of the simulation. All analyses in the above publication were based on this data. For any enquiries, please contact Calum Brown: [email protected]
