Books and the popularization of science     

Rex Buchanan 《Publishing Research Quarterly》1991,7(1):5-10

This article discusses best-selling science books, the characteristics of the audience for popular science books, and the role of books within science popularization and science education. Best-selling science books have been rare, but generally readable. Regional books, also important sources of scientific information, aim at much smaller, far more price-sensitive audiences. Many successful regional, nontechnical science books are readable, heavily illustrated, and in some cases, cross-disciplinary. To increase the attentive audience for scientific information, improvement in science education is necessary, and the most efficacious role for scientific institutions may be the production of materials that can be easily incorporated into school curricula. He is the author of several nontechnical guides to the geology of Kansas and teaches science writing at the University of Kansas School of Journalism and Mass Communications A slightly different version of this paper was presented at the joint meeting of the Association of Earth Science éditors, European Association of Editors, and the Council of Biology Editors, Ottawa, Ontario, September 1989.  相似文献

Reliability modelling and analysis of a two unit continuous casting plant     

A.G. Mathew  S.M. Rizwan 《Journal of The Franklin Institute》2011,348(7):1488-1505

The aim of this paper is to present a reliability modeling and analysis of a two-unit system of a continuous casting (CC) plant. Real maintenance data of a steel production plant have been used for the purpose. Three types of failures were noted: repairable, replaceable and reconditioning/reinstallation. The two-unit system is operating in parallel, on full-reduced installed capacity. Upon the unit failure, an inspection is carried out to decide the type of maintenance task to be performed. Optimized reliability indices of the plant such as mean time to system failure, availability, expected busy periods of the repairman for various maintenance tasks, expected number of visits by the repairman, expected number of repairs, replacements and reconditioning/reinstallation are obtained. Semi-Markov processes and regenerative point techniques are used for the analysis. Profit incurred to the CC plant is also evaluated and related graphs are plotted to demonstrate the results.  相似文献

Tapping the educational potential of Facebook: Guidelines for use in higher education     

Rex Wang  Phil Scown  Cathy Urquhart  Julie Hardman 《Education and Information Technologies》2014,19(1):21-39

Facebook is a frequently used Computer Mediated Environment (CME) for students and others to build social connections, with identities and deposited self-expression. Its widespread use makes it appropriate for consideration as an educational tool; though one that does not yet have clear guidelines for use. Whether a social networking site can be used for educational objectives remains largely unexplored as a research question. This paper discusses a study conducted at the University of Auckland and at Manchester Metropolitan University on how their students use Facebook, and its impact on their social and academic lives. Using theories of social capital and knowledge management, we explore some potential educational uses of Facebook. Guidelines are included for the educational use of Facebook by tutors in a university environment. These include both positive recommendations and activities and approaches to avoid; and include educational, administrative and legal issues.  相似文献   

Aspirations of Indian inventors moderated by patenting experience,age and sector     

Mary Mathew  Nilanjana Bhaduri nee Chakraborty 《The Journal of High Technology Management Research》2012,23(1):71-81

In this hyper-competitive era, patents are an essential input to realizing sustainable competitive advantage. However, individual differences exist in patenting filing behavior and behaviors related to commercialization of patents. This study explores these behaviors in the context of three demographic variables. The demographic variables are patenting and commercialization experiences of inventors, age and sector. Further, aspirations of these inventors are assessed using external motivators of wealth, fame, and concern for societal welfare, and internal motivators such as pragmatism. The findings of this empirical study (n = 116) suggest that sector and age determine differences in personal internal motivators more than patent commercialization experience. Implications of the study are discussed.  相似文献   

School Job Descriptions: Purpose and Preparation     

Rex Tripper Headteacher 《School Leadership & Management》2013,33(3):281-287

This paper emerged following recent research into the causes and effects of occupational pressures on primary headteachers in West Berkshire. The heads concerned were grouped according to a measure of the Type A/Type B personality dichotomy and their reported vulnerability to particular pressures related to this variable. Some conclusions are noted as are reported effective coping devices. The paper concludes with a brief examination of the implications of the research findings for local authorities.  相似文献
