Technological research in the EU is less efficient than the world average. EU research policy risks Europeans’ future     

Alonso Rodríguez-Navarro  Ricardo Brito 《Journal of Informetrics》2018,12(3):718-731

We have studied the efficiency of research in the EU by a percentile-based citation approach that analyzes the distribution of country papers among the world papers. Going up in the citation scale, the frequency of papers from efficient countries increases while the frequency from inefficient countries decreases. In the percentile-based approach, this trend, which is uniform at any citation level, is measured by the e_p index that equals the P_{top 1%}/P_{top 10%} ratio. By using the e_p index we demonstrate that EU research on fast-evolving technological topics is less efficient than the world average and that the EU is far from being able to compete with the most advanced countries. The e_p index also shows that the USA is well ahead of the EU in both fast- and slow-evolving technologies, which suggests that the advantage of the USA over the EU in innovation is due to low research efficiency in the EU. In accord with some previous studies, our results show that the European Commission’s ongoing claims about the excellence of EU research are based on a wrong diagnosis. The EU must focus its research policy on the improvement of its inefficient research. Otherwise, the future of Europeans is at risk.  相似文献   

Specific tackling situations affect the biomechanical demands experienced by rugby union players     

Elena Seminati  Dario Cazzola  Ezio Preatoni  Grant Trewartha 《Sports biomechanics / International Society of Biomechanics in Sports》2017,16(1):58-75

Tackling in Rugby Union is an open skill which can involve high-speed collisions and is the match event associated with the greatest proportion of injuries. This study aimed to analyse the biomechanics of rugby tackling under three conditions: from a stationary position, with dominant and non-dominant shoulder, and moving forward, with dominant shoulder. A specially devised contact simulator, a 50-kg punch bag instrumented with pressure sensors, was translated towards the tackler (n = 15) to evaluate the effect of laterality and tackling approach on the external loads absorbed by the tackler, on head and trunk motion, and on trunk muscle activities. Peak impact force was substantially higher in the stationary dominant (2.84 ± 0.74 kN) than in the stationary non-dominant condition (2.44 ± 0.64 kN), but lower than in the moving condition (3.40 ± 0.86 kN). Muscle activation started on average 300 ms before impact, with higher activation for impact-side trapezius and non-impact-side erector spinae and gluteus maximus muscles. Players’ technique for non-dominant-side tackles was less compliant with current coaching recommendations in terms of cervical motion (more neck flexion and lateral bending in the stationary non-dominant condition) and players could benefit from specific coaching focus on non-dominant-side tackles.  相似文献   

纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的实验和模拟研究     

王睿  沈学峰  霍元平  王军锋  郑诺  刘海龙 《中国科学院大学学报》2020,37(2):281-287

液滴撞击固体壁面现象常见于动力机械、喷雾冷却和薄膜材料沉积制备等工业生产中。将石墨烯和碳纳米管作为分散颗粒，应用超声波分散技术制备均匀性与稳定性良好的树脂基纳米流体。利用高速摄像技术，研究纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的动力学行为。基于有限元法，通过修正的幂律黏度模型耦合纳米流体的剪切变稀特性，采用水平集方法捕捉相界面的移动，建立纳米流体液滴撞击固体壁面的数值模型。模拟结果与实验结果较好一致，验证了数值模型的正确性与准确性。研究发现实验配制的纳米流体表现出非牛顿剪切变稀特性，纳米颗粒的加入抑制了液滴撞击固体壁面过程中的铺展和回缩行为。随着幂律指数m的减小，液滴撞击固体壁面后的铺展范围变大。随着表面张力的增大，液滴的无量纲直径在铺展阶段无明显变化，但在回缩阶段逐渐减小。  相似文献

以哮喘机制研究为例,使用GoWeb生物医学专业搜索引擎搜索学科领域研究热点,以PubMed文献检索服务系统来源的国外权威期刊和ISIS系统检索获得的国家自然科学基金项目为评价标准,比较国内权威医学期刊对学科领域研究热点及其发展趋势的把握度.结果发现,免疫学、气道重塑、表观遗传学为哮喘机制研究3大热点,三者发文量或项目数占比之和由高到低排列分别为《中华医学杂志》(96.0％)、国家自然科学基金项目(89.5％)、国外权威期刊(87.0％)、《中华结核与呼吸杂志》(75.7％).与国外权威期刊及国家自然科学基金项目相比较,国内权威期刊中免疫学机制比例较高,而气道重建比例较低,表观遗传学研究见于国外权威期刊、国家自然科学基金项目及《中华医学杂志》中,发文量或项目数占比基本相当;在国内期刊中,《中华医学杂志》对哮喘机制研究热点的把握度较好.基于GoWeb对科技期刊研究领域进行对比分析有利于医学期刊及其编辑把握有关领域的研究热点及其发展趋势,组织发表紧跟国际研究热点的高水平的医学科研论文.  相似文献   

Early Literacy and the Public Library: An Opportunity of a Lifetime (of Reading)     

Bill Ptacek 《Public Library Quarterly》2016,35(4):338-343

In this article, author Bill Ptacek says that the future is now, and, at least from the 1970s through today, in the field of early childhood work, the future has come so fast that it is constantly upon us. That reality means that those concerned about young children in libraries have been about adaptation on a continuing basis. In this world of rapid change, innovation is constant: City firefighters come to the libraries in uniform to read stories to children, library outreach specialists take programs to daycare centers in their communities, and staff members create a space in a library devoted to early childhood reading. This tradition of rapid change means that the early childhood staff of most large public libraries in North America is changing for the future on a regular basis. The work unit should be considered seriously as one model for 21st century public library reform.  相似文献
