Note to self: can always request from authors if LW, WP, and Reddit fail.

Okay, here are the other articles I found:

3 - comparing the means

4 - statistical problems

5 - natural selection

6 - life history and bioeconomy

7 - Effects of nutritional lithium supplementation

9 - Effects of nutritional lithium deficiency

10 - Drinking water lithium

12 - Naps and modafinil

Notes: Luke mentions #1 here perhaps he has it and would scan it for you?

Thanks! I've removed all the ones I've downloaded and incorporated to gwern.net from my parent comment. (I also removed the ILL metadata as appropriate.)

'3 - comparing the means' seems broken?

Luke's pretty busy and I was rather hoping there was a native electronic copy somewhere.

Should be fixed now.

OK, I've downloaded it and... it seems to be a letter to the editor about Godfrey's article, but not the actual article?

Comment author: jsalvatier 04 March 2012 01:52:18AM 0 points [-]

That struck me as odd too, but I checked whether it matched the citation you gave me. I'll request a scan of the actual article.

Did it ever come in?

Thanks.

Yes, but I'm not finding it in my drop box right now. I'll check my other folder when I get home.

I've re requested this.

Comment author: jsalvatier 25 February 2012 11:49:36PM 2 points [-]

I have this post under RSS but I didn't get updates about this. I'll try to find these articles. I've had difficulty getting access to the first 5, but I think I may be able to order scans from them from the library. I'll be trying that.

Comment author: gwern 26 February 2012 12:24:45AM *  0 points [-]

Thanks. I guess I'll just add any future requests as separate comments.

Really bad haul for these:

Most of these I did not have access to, but I put in a request for the library to get me a scanned copy, which should be free. If I get them, I'll post them.

I generally do not have access to electronic copies of books.

7 - link

9 - The book can be found in my library, so if it's especially important, I could find it and scan it.

Comment author: gwern 27 February 2012 04:29:05PM *  0 points [-]

Link #7 is broken; #9 is not as important as #2 or #13, but I would still like it. Maybe scan it if you go to check out another book?

Oops, should be fixed now.

Will do.

jsalvatier: I'm giving up on the WP requests for the Croxson and hope function articles - if the requests haven't borne fruit after 2 months, they probably never will. Could you handle them?

Got it.

EDIT: kind of boring a paper. I regret spending so much time on it.

:(

Comment author: gwern 26 April 2012 09:22:49PM 0 points [-]

Well, I couldn't know until I read it.

Comment author: jsalvatier 19 April 2012 05:24:45PM 1 point [-]

I've submitted ILL requests for both. If the second doesn't come through I'll head down there and scan it.

Thanks.
