Pet food with a high Impact Factor

Nature%20pet%20food.jpgBut, how many fonts are out there anyway?
Or perhaps Nature is secretly diversifying its operations 😉
But what would be the formula for calculating Impact Factor of pet food?
d = maximal distance of projectile vomiting
t = time between the onset of feeding and onset of projectile vomiting
m = total mass of vomited material as percent of ingested food
k = coefficient that normalizes the pet size to 15kg regardless of the actual size of the animal.
So, how does one plug these values in?

    Oh, there are enough of us at Nature Network able to provide data.
    The Beast saw that before I could scroll away. He’s now stood at his bowl laying down not-so-subtle hints.

    Hang on, shouldn’t you be complaining that this food isn’t open access? 🙂

    Complaining? If that can was Open Access for a long time, the IF would be so much greater! Can you just imagine the projectile vomiting if the can was not stored in the fridge, vacuum-packed?

    Buggeration.
    This has arse all to do with OA Prof O’H.
    The keeper though, is the (TESCO) font choice, is it not. That was my gut reaction at least.

    Perish the thought, but if you is booted out the “Nature” door for whatever reason, is you sent home in one of these?

    The discussion is getting quite, er, meaty back over at NN.
