1994 Kentucky Timothy Variety Test Report
No full textTimothy (Phleum pratense) is the fourth most widely sown cool-season perennial grass used in Kentucky for forage, ranking behind tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass. It is a late-maturing bunchgrass that can be used for grazing but is mainly harvested as hay, particularly for horses. For hay production, timothy can be sown with alfalfa or red clover, while white clover or birdsfoot trefoil make good mixtures with timothy for grazing. Management is similar to that for other cool-season grasses. Harvesting at the mid- to late-boot stage is needed to assure good yields and high forage quality. Quality of timothy declines more rapidly than other cool-season grasses as it over-matures. In Kentucky, timothy behaves like a shortlived perennial with stands lasting for 2-3 years
1993 Kentucky Timothy Variety Test Report
No full textTimothy (Phleum pratense) is the fourth most widely grown cool-season perennial grass used in Kentucky for forage, ranking behind tall fescue, orchardgrass, and Kentucky bluegrass. It is a late maturing bunchgrass that can be used for grazing but is mainly harvested as hay, particularly for horses. Management is similar to that for other cool season-grasses. Harvesting at the proper stage of maturity (mid- to late-boot) is needed to assure high forage quality; otherwise, quality of timothy declines more rapidly than other cool-season grasses as it overmatures. In Kentucky, timothy behaves like a short-lived perennial with stands lasting for 2-3 years. Table 1 lists other College of Agriculture publications related to the establishment, management, and utilization of timothy that are available from your local county extension office
The New Keynesian Phillips curve : lessons from single-equation econometric estimation
No full textWe review single-equation methods for estimating the hybrid New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) and then apply those methods to U.S. quarterly data for 1955?2007. Estimating the hybrid NKPC by the generalized method of moments yields stable coefficients with a large role for expected future inflation. Measures of marginal costs better explain U.S. inflation than does a range of measures of the output gap. But estimates of the slope of the NKPC are imprecise and confidence intervals that are robust to weak identification are wide. Further research on measuring marginal costs may reconcile these mixed findings. A reconciliation is important if the NKPC is to remain a fundamental component of models of the monetary transmission mechanism.Inflation (Finance) ; Phillips curve
A socio-rhetorical exegesis of 1 Timothy 2:8-15
No full textIn this thesis two interralted tasks are undertaken. First, this thesis is an attempt to gain mastery of an interpretive methodology, namely, socio-rhetorical analysis. Second, by looking at a crucial text that has major implications for the contemporary church, I have applied this method of analysis to a particularly Scriptural text, namely, 1 Timothy 2:8-15. In this thesis I demonstrate using socio-rhetorical analysis that the discourse contained in 1 Timothy 2:8-15 constitutes baptised patriarchal cultural practices and traditions from the dominant Greco-Roman culture of the first century. I demonstrate, therefore, that the portrayal of women in the text reflects a cultural imperative, and not a theological imperative, that was co-opted from the ""secular"" Greco-Roman culture of the day and transposed, using Scriptural texts as authentication, into the Christian community at Ephesus. Thus the text is simply re-enforcing normative Greco-Roman cultural values upon Christian women and camouflaging it as a Christian norm in order to persuade women to conform to patriarchal cultural standards. Such persuasion, however, is hardly required unless one has already accepted cultural assumptions about the subordination and silencing (objectification) of women in an androcentric hegemonic culture

Narrative threads: ethnographic tourism, Romani tourist tales, and fiber art
No full textThis thesis examines the need for the ethnographer to process their own emotions and experiences as part of the ethnographic experience. Specifically, it argues for the credibility of artistic expression resulting from fieldwork.
Drawing on the author’s experience during the 2012 inaugural "Romani Music, Culture, and Human Rights" study abroad program at the University of Pittsburgh, this thesis offers an analysis of five works of fiber art. Originally perceived by the author as separate from the thesis writing process, they became an integral part of thesis once they were recognized as the non-verbal processing of the my emotional response to events abroad and, therefore, essential components of the research process.
I argue that emotional processing is an integral part of writing an ethnography, for as the ethnographer works through their experiences, their understanding of the events changes, and this in turn impacts the ways in which the ethnographic is perceived and analyzed
Evaluating Research Impact through Open Access to Scholarly Communication
No full textScientific research is a competitive business – in order to secure funding, promotion and tenure researchers must demonstrate their work has impact in their field. To maximise impact researchers undertake high priority research, aim to get results first, and publish in the highest impact journals. The Internet now presents a new opportunity to the scholarly author seeking higher impact: s/he can now make their work instantly accessible on the Web through author self-archiving. This growing body of open access literature (coupled with new publishing models that make journals available for-free to the reader) maximises research impact by maximising the number of people who can read it, and making it available sooner. Open access also provides a new opportunity for bibliometric research. This thesis describes the relatively recent phenomenon of open access to research literature, tools that were built to collect and analyse that literature, and the results of analyses of the effect of open access and its effect on author behaviour. It shows that articles self-archived by authors receive between 50-250% more citations, that rapid pre-printing on the Web has dramatically reduced the peak citation rate from over a year to virtually instant and how citation-impact – now widely used for evaluation – can be expanded to include a new web metric of download impact
A new breed of publisher: towards open global sharing
No full textThis presentation was given at the Publishing in Libraries Conference at the College at Brockport, State University of New York on March 20, 2015 as part of a panel discussion entitled 'The repository as publisher: opportunities and challenges in a dual role', with Benjamin Hockenberry, Jessica Clemons, and Timothy Deliyannides. The presentation gives an overview of the evolution of the publishing program at the University of Pittsburgh beginning with the dissemination of new scholarly content through author self-archiving repositories and leading to the publication of scholarly peer-reviewed journals with partners located around the world. Pitt's journal publishing program is detailed. The presentation highlights the library's unique perspective, values, and commitment to openly sharing scholarly research in all its forms worldwide
Towards new modes of publishing and information-sharing among researchers at Pitt and internationally
No full textThe Office of Scholarly Communication and Publishing (OSCP) at the University of Pittsburgh Library System is engaged in a wide range of activities to support scholarly communication for researchers at Pitt, with special emphasis on promoting open access to research for the global community of scholars. In this talk, an overview of the activities of OSCP will be shown. In particular, the library’s extensive journal publishing program, D-scholarship@Pitt (publishing via institutional repository), the open access author fee fund, and innovations in measuring the scholarly impact of researchers at Pitt will be described. Additionally, the talk will explore the underlying philosophy and policies behind these activities, and explain the strategic goals of Pitt’s University Library System to demonstrate leadership in scholarly communications, publishing, and information sharing
