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

Neil Harcum Interview, ca. 1977
No full textNeil Harcum was 77 years old.
In this interview, Neil talks about the history of Browns Valley. He discussed how the town got its name from Joseph R. Brown and his son. He tells some tales about them. He discusses the Native Americans in the region and the fair William Palm set up. He finally discusses the grain elevators and how people would haul their grain on barges and, in the winter, on sleds. He also discusses the dry weather at the time of the interview and the 1930s.https://digitalcommons.morris.umn.edu/kmrs/1044/thumbnail.jp
Neil Berecry-Brown (Art Forum)
No full textNeil Berecry-Brown is said to have gone feral. An artist and farmer, he has done time in institutions (Curating and Education with the Vancouver Art Gallery Extension Department); served on the board of Artspace Sydney and directed artist-run initiatives, Synapse Art Initiatives and Gosford Art Flux Forum.
Previously a psychologist, he helped establish the Masters course in Art Therapy at the University of Western Sydney and was later employed as a consultant within the program. A recovering academic following twenty years teaching art history, theory and studio (Sydney College of the Arts and College of Fine Arts, Sydney, with some work at the universities of Western Sydney and Newcastle.)
Currently he is Director of Brown’s Cows Art Projects and engaged in polyvalent art practice. This open-ended quest is for discovery of rural attributes pertinent to contemporary art and finding strategies of meshing locally inflected practice with global dynamics. Past and present projects will be described to present a polyvalent strategic model of contemporary practice: of imbeddedness outside the system. The work is part of an ongoing, and open-ended process of identifying the rural, or local, as a specific paradigm of cognition and of poetic resonance, which might provide an imaginative antidote, and dialogical foil, to prevailing orthodoxy. The presentation will examine work with the Mangrove Mountain & Districts Country Fair, as a model event that meshes contemporary art, community engagement and new rural initiatives

Optimizing the Jiles-Atherton Model of Hysteresis by a genetic algorithm
No full textModeling magnetic components for simulation in electric circuits requires an accurate model of the hysteresis loop of the core material used. It is important that the parameters extracted for the hysteresis model be optimized across the range of operating conditions that may occur in circuit simulation. This paper shows how to extract optimal parameters for the Jiles-Atherton model of hysteresis by the genetic algorithm approach. It compares performance with the well-known simulated annealing method and demonstrates that improved results may be obtained with the genetic algorithm. It also shows that a combination of the genetic algorithm and the simulated annealing method can provide an even more accurate solution that either method on its own. A statistical analysis shows that the optimization obtained by the genetic algorithm is better on average, not just on a one-off test basis. The paper introduces and applies the concept of simultaneous optimization for major and minor hysteresis loops to ensure accurate model optimization over a wide variety of operating conditions. It proposes a modification to the Jiles-Atherton model to allow improved accuracy in the modeling of the major loop
