[BioC] RNA digestion plots

I am looking for help in the interpretation of RNA digestion plots. If I have
understood the recent discussions, then one expects to see a trend from 3' to
5' in average probe intensity.
I am comparing two sets of experiments done in two different labs. Both were
done with mgu74av2 chips.
One set is basically flat with a slight drop at the very 5' end (probe number
0) and a large drop at the very 3' end (probe number 15), while the other
shows a slow increase in intensity from the 5' to the 3' end except for a
drop at the very 3' end (probe 15).
Does this indicate that the second set may exhibit problems with RNA
degradation?
Also, I cannot seem to find the article:
"L. Cope. Detecting rna degradation using probe level data from
oligonucleotide expression arrays. Bioinformatics, 2003"
in pubmed. (This article is listed on the bioconductor site.) Could anybody
point me to a url to get this article (or perhaps a preprint?)
Thank you!
