RoMEO Studies 3: How academics expect to use open-access research papers
No full textThis paper is the third in a series of studies emanating from the UK JISC-funded RoMEO Project (Rights Metadata for Open-archiving). It considers previous studies of the usage of electronic journal articles through a literature survey. It then reports on the results of a survey of 542 academic authors as to how they expected to use open-access research papers. This data is compared with results from the second of the RoMEO Studies series as to how academics wished to protect their open-access research papers. The ways in which academics expect to use open-access works (including activities, restrictions and conditions) are described. It concludes that academics-as-users do not expect to perform all the activities with open-access research papers that academics-as-authors would allow. Thus the rights metadata proposed by the RoMEO Project would appear to meet the usage requirements of most academics

Analysis of the opinions and use of open access repositories by researchers in different disciplines; with specific focus on the development of a new institutional repository at Leeds Metropolitan University
No full textInstitutional repositories, which have been in existence since 2002, are open, web-based archives of research publications produced by members of a particular institution. Many UK Universities are now hosting or developing institutional repositories, believing that they will enhance the scholarly communication at the University and they will help to promote the institution. For IRs to become an accepted method of sharing information, a significant amount of work must be deposited in them, however to date researchers have shown little interest in depositing work in IRs. It has been suggested that differences between disciplines in terms of culture, funding, means of research and means of sharing information may account for the difference in uptake to IRs. I carried out an analysis of all the UK University IRs, and found that while there is a bias towards science/technology and medical research in the IRs compared with arts and humanities research, this corresponded to the bias in publishing output in these disciplines. Other studies have highlighted barriers that researchers perceive to placing their research in IRs. Leeds Metropolitan University is currently developing an IR and I undertook a questionnaire survey and follow-up interviews with Leeds Met research staff to compare their attitudes and behaviours towards depositing their work in IRs. I found that awareness of open access amongst research staff is quite high, with 66% having some knowledge of open access. Also, many researchers appear to understand the benefits offered by this alternative to traditional journal publishing. Concerns raised amongst the research staff included many of the same concerns as published in previous studies. I found little difference between disciplines and length-of-service of the researchers (although my survey numbers were low). The IR development team at Leeds Met should endeavour to address these concerns in order to achieve successful uptake of the new IR at the University. The success of the Leeds Met IR also depends to some extent on the self-archiving policies of publishers with which Leeds Met researchers have published their work. These self-archiving policies are not clear for many publishers, who may be re-considering their policies due to recent changes and may see the development of IRs as a threat to their business

A Simple Minimum T-Cut Algorithm
No full textWe give a simple algorithm for finding a minimum T-cut. At present, all known efficient algorithms for this problem go through the computation of a Gomory-Hu tree. While our algorithm bases on the same fundamental properties of uncrossing as the previous methods, still it provides an ad-hoc solution. This solution is easier to implement and faster to run. Our results extend to the whole of symmetric submodular functions
L’impiego delle lenti a contatto terapeutiche per il trattamento delle ulcere corneali indolenti del cane: esperienza personale
No full textRIASSUNTO Le lenti a contatto morbide gas-permeabili rappresentano una delle opzioni terapeutiche per il trattamento dell’ulcera corneale indolente del cane. Gli Autori prendono in esame vantaggi e svantaggi dell’applicazione delle lenti, valutando i risultati ottenuti in 16 cani trattati con questa tecnica. Tutti i pazienti sono stati preventivamente sottoposti a debridement corneale e durante la permanenza della lente hanno ricevuto antibiotici e midriatici-cicloplegici topici. La lente è rimasta in situ in 14 dei 16 soggetti, determinando velocemente (in media 9,86 giorni) la guarigione della lesione corneale con esiti cicatriziali minimi. In uno dei due casi in cui si è avuta perdita della lente, si è provveduto alla sua riapplicazione dopo 48 ore, con guarigione dell’ulcera entro 12 giorni. La lente a contatto rappresenta quindi un’ottima opzione terapeutica di primo approccio dell’ulcera indolente del cane, soprattutto in virtù della sua efficacia e facilità di applicazione. SUMMARY Soft contact lenses (SCL) are an available method for indolent ulcers treatment in dog. Indolent ulcers are a common and often frustrating problem in clinical ophthalmology; these lesions can be observed in any breed of dog, although boxers appear predisposed. Indolent ulcer, also called persistent corneal erosion, is a primary lesions of the cornea. Many tecniques have been described to encourage healing of persistent erosions, but none are consistently effective. This study evaluate the use of SCL as protective bendage in the treatment of indolent ulcers in dog. Sixteen dogs with persistent corneal erosion were evaluated for healing in response to application of SCL. In our study we included only dogs with primary corneal erosion. These dogs ranged in age from 7 to 14 years, with an average age of 10.5 years. They also differed in breed, sex and size. Prior to insertion of SCL, all the sixteen dogs were treated with corneal epithelium debridement; the corneas were debrided with a sterile cotton swab under topical anesthesia. Fourteen erosions healed within 9.86 days. In one of the two cases who lost the lens, we proceeded with a new insertion after 48 hours; in this case the erosion healed in twelve days. This study suggests that SCL is a valuable treatment option in management of indolent ulcers in dog
On the nonlinear multi-physics dynamics of a mechanical oscillator coupled to an electro-magnetic circuit
No full textThe dynamics of a nonlinear electro-magneto-mechanical coupled system is addressed. Such a system exhibits a rich dynamic behavior arising from the involved quadratic nonlinearities that can be explored by relying on both analytical and numerical tools. It will be shown that the global multi-physics dynamic can be effectively handled to make the system functioning either as a sensor or an actuator for applications in the micro electromechanical context. Towards this goal, the roles played by the electro-magnetic and mechanical components in the resulting complex response, encompassing bifurcations as well as possible transitions from regular to chaotic motion, will be highlighted by means of Poincaŕe sections. Moreover, when the linear frequency of the circuit is larger than that of the mechanical oscillator, the dynamics exhibits slow and fast time scales. Therefore we analyze the mechanical oscillator forced (actuated) via harmonic voltage excitation of the electric circuit; when the forcing frequency is close to that of the mechanical oscillator, the long term dynamics are expected to evolve in a purely slow timescale, in the presence of dissipation, with no interaction with the fast time scale. We show this by assuming the existence of a slow invariant manifold, computing it analytically, and verifying its existence via numerical experiments on both full-and reduced-order systems.
