Evaluation of the 2-D permeability tensor for fractured rock masses
No full textAn approach is established to evaluate the 2-D permeability tensor of naturally fractured rock masses by using modified UDEC ¶. Based on the superposition principle, directional flow-rates through a unit square of fractured rock under head gradients in two orthogonal directions can be calculated with UDEC. Then the flow-rates are transformed into flow-rates through a field rock mass for evaluating the permeability tensor. Two kinds of fractured rock models, fixed hydraulic fracture aperture and variable hydraulic fracture aperture under stress, were studied by using this approach. For the first model, the permeability tensor of a fractured rock mass only depends upon the statistical features of fracture pattern geometry, including orientation, trace length, density of fractures. For the second model, the permeability tensor strongly depends upon both the geometry of the fracture pattern and the applied stress, such as the direction and magnitude of principal stress as well as the ratio of major principal stress to minor principal stress.<br/
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Last Formalist, or W.J.T. Mitchell as Romantic Dinosaur
No full textThis volume contains an interview with W.J.T. Mitchell and a gloss by Orrin N.C. Wang which may be read through and against each other, much like the structure of Coleridge's Ancient Mariner transposed into a postmodern context. The critical innovation here is to use the web in such a way that views it as more than a mere repository of academic content, and to transform text into true hypertext. </p
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

Award-Winning Documentary and Q&A About Last Male White Rhino to Screen in Shelby, N.C.
No full textGardner-Webb University Life of the Scholar (LOTS) Program is partnering with the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and the Cleveland County Arts Council to present the award-winning documentary Kifaru in Shelby, N.C. The film follows a dedicated team of rangers in Kenya who are watching over Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino. Rampant poaching has decimated his subspecies, yet hope remains thanks to his incredible caregivers who are set on both preventing and recovering loss.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/1175/thumbnail.jp
