Does Submitting Nontraditional Scholarly Content to an Institutional Repository Provide Academic Value to Submitters? A study at the University of New Mexico

Question:Does using the University of New Mexicos (UNM) institutional repository DSpaceUNM to publish nontraditional academic content, such as data sets, posters, and presentations, have tangible scholarly benefits for investigators. Participants: The study population is all registered users who have submitted scholarly work to the DSpaceUNM institutional repository. Setting: The study will take place at the UNM, a large academic institution located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Method: An email will be sent to all DSpaceUNM users to learn if authors of archived information have gained any real professional value by posting their work to DSpaceUNM. Responses will be categorized by type of value and format of the posted work. Main Results: Anecdotally, the authors have experienced a number of unanticipated benefits from the posting of several pieces of nontraditional academic content into DSpaceUNM. We believe this study will uncover numerous other cases of unexpected benefits experienced by users who choose to deposit nontraditional (\u27grey\u27) content. Conclusion: Using an institutional repository to disseminate nontraditional scholarly output is likely to increase investigators\u27 exposure. The scholarly value of depositing nontraditional content in an institutional repository is likely to be demonstrated in unique and unexpected ways.\u27https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/hslic-posters-presentations/1064/thumbnail.jp

Scholarly Communication Toolkit: Everything you need to know from copyright to advocacy

This class is a condensed version of a two-day conference held in Albuqueruqe, NM in March 2010. The conference was specifically geared to knowledge management professionals at institutions with or applying for the NIH Clinical and Translational Science Award. The class is now directed to health science librarians from all types of institutions. The class is a toolkit that aims to educate participants on the essential concepts surrounding scholarly communication and to generate local implementation and advocacy. The class is divided into sections on scholary communication background and basics; copyright; novel uses of institutional repositories and data management; NIH Public Access Policy; advocacy and communication; and culminates with a discussion on next steps for the profession

Innovative Features to an Evidence-Based Practice Conference: A Program Evaluation

The Evidence-Based Scholarly Communications Conference (EBSCC) held in Albuquerque, New Mexico USA during March 2010 piloted two innovations: 1) Real-time peer review by attendees on research paper presentations 2) A participatory advocacy workshop focusing on speaking skill

Aprendizagem por meio da realização de benfeitorias em entidade social de Criciúma

Dentre as disciplinas componentes da matriz curricular dos cursos Técnicos em Edificações e Eletrotécnica tem-se disciplinas práticas que visam fornecer ao aluno a aplicação dos conhecimentos adquiridos na teoria. Nessas aulas realizam-se obras (estruturas de concreto, paredes de alvenaria, instalações hidrossanitárias e elétricas) que são construídas em laboratório e ao final precisam ser destruídos, o que acarreta desperdício de material e tempo e principalmente a geração de resíduos. Na busca de alternativas para a realização dessas aulas vislumbrou-se na realização de obras de cunho social uma forma de atingir o objetivo da disciplina e, além disso, dar uma dimensão real da atuação do técnico no desempenho de sua profissão. Diante disso, foi elaborado um projeto em parceria com uma instituição filantrópica de Criciúma com o objetivo de proporcionar ao futuro técnico uma formação que além de integrar teoria e prática de forma aplicada a realidade permita a realização de obras sociais evitando o desperdício e a geração de resíduos. Neste artigo apresenta-se os resultados parciais desse projeto que se encontra em fase de desenvolvimento

Adensamento subsuperficial em solos do semi-árido: processos geológicos e / ou pedogenéticos.

Nos tabuleiros setanejos do Estado de Pernambuco encontram-se solos com adensamento subsuperficial, que provoca limitações no seu uso e, conseqüentemente diminuição da produtividade agrícola. Com o objetivo de identificar a ocorrência de processos geológicos (discontinuidade litológica) e/ou pedogenéticos envolvidos na gênese desse adensamento, selecionaram-se três perfis de solo distribuidos numa seqüência topográfica, localizados nos tabuleiros sertanejos, município de Petrolina, zona semi-árida do Estado de Pernambuco, nos quais foram determinados distribuição granulométrica, morfoscopia da fração areia, parâmetros sedimentológicos, densidade e porosidade, e calculadas as frações areia e silte livres de argila e as relações areia fina, areia média e areia muito fina/areia total e argila fina/argila total. Os resultados indicam que o adensamento subsuperficial não é resultado de processos deposicionais, ou seja, devido a descontinuidade litológica, uma vez que os parâmetros estudados não apresentaram variações em profundidade que indicassem a sua ocorrência

Mitochondrial glycolysis in a major lineage of eukaryotes

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is freely available from OUP via the DOI in this recordThe establishment of the mitochondrion is seen as a transformational step in the origin of eukaryotes. With the mitochondrion came bioenergetic freedom to explore novel evolutionary space leading to the eukaryotic radiation known today. The tight integration of the bacterial endosymbiont with its archaeal host was accompanied by a massive endosymbiotic gene transfer resulting in a small mitochondrial genome which is just a ghost of the original incoming bacterial genome. This endosymbiotic gene transfer resulted in the loss of many genes, both from the bacterial symbiont as well the archaeal host. Loss of genes encoding redundant functions resulted in a replacement of the bulk of the host's metabolism for those originating from the endosymbiont. Glycolysis is one such metabolic pathway in which the original archaeal enzymes have been replaced by the bacterial enzymes from the endosymbiont. Glycolysis is a major catabolic pathway that provides cellular energy from the breakdown of glucose. The glycolytic pathway of eukaryotes appears to be bacterial in origin, and in well-studied model eukaryotes it takes place in the cytosol. In contrast, here we demonstrate that the latter stages of glycolysis take place in the mitochondria of stramenopiles, a diverse and ecologically important lineage of eukaryotes. Although our work is based on a limited sample of stramenopiles, it leaves open the possibility that the mitochondrial targeting of glycolytic enzymes in stramenopiles might represent the ancestral state for eukaryotes.TAW is supported by a Royal Society University Research Fellowship and NERC grant NE/P00251X/1.
