Filling the Knowledge-to-Action Gap with Open Access Pedagogy: An Alternative Assignment Model

Institutional journals as an alternative model for open access

Open access barriers: An action research

ICT has provided the infrastructure to enable easy access to scientific information. Despite this, libraries are suffering from the rising of journal subscriptions. Additionally, the structure of scholarly publications is creating a wasteful situation where publicly funded research is being paid for several times over. University libraries are struggling to deal with these new realities at the ...

Open Access: The Alternative to Subscription-Based Medical Publishing

1 one of the world's first scientific journals, 2 the subscription-based journal has been the traditional model for disseminating scientific and medical knowledge. 3,4 Granting access only through subscription can place significant barriers to information sharing, thus putting research, teaching and patient care at risk. While the internet age has made information universally available, medical...

Developing a cellular manufacturing model considering the alternative routes, tool assignment, and machine reliability

The cell formation (CF) is one of the most important steps in the design of a cellular manufacturing system (CMS), which it includes machines’ grouping in cells and part grouping as separate families, so that the costs are minimized. The various aspects of the problem should be considered in a CF. The machine reliability and the tool assigned to them are the most important problems which have t...

Variant genotyping with gap filling

Although recent developments in DNA sequencing have allowed for great leaps in both the quality and quantity of genome assembly projects, de novo assemblies still lack the efficiency and accuracy required for studying genetic variation of individuals. Thus, efficient and accurate methods for calling and genotyping genetic variants are fundamental to studying the genomes of individuals. We study...
