On Disciplinary Fragmentation and Scientific Progress
Why are some scientific disciplines, such as sociology and psychology, more fragmented into conflicting schools of thought than other fields, such as physics and biology? Furthermore, why does high fragmentation tend to coincide with limited scientific progress? We analyzed a formal model where scientists seek to identify the correct answer to a research question. Each scientist is influenced b...
متن کاملRecent Progress on Perturbative QCD Fragmentation Functions
The recent development of perturbative QCD (PQCD) fragmentation functions has strong impact on quarkonium production. I shall summarize Bc meson production based on these PQCD fragmentation functions, as well as, the highlights of some recent activities on applying these PQCD fragmentation functions to explain anomalous J/ψ and ψ production at the Tevatron. Finally, I discuss a fragmentation mo...
متن کاملthe role of semantic and communicative translation on reading comprehension of scientific texts
the following null hypothesis was proposed: h : there is no significant difference between the use of semantically or communicatively translates scientific texts. to test the null hypothesis, a number of procedures were taken first, two passages were selected form soyrcebooks of food and nutrition industry and gardening deciplines. each, in turn, was following by a number of comprehension quest...
15 صفحه اولConstants and scientific progress.
Scientists like constants (a personal favorite is Avogadro's number). It is no wonder, because not only does defining a constant represent a major scientific breakthrough, but as human beings we like things we can rely on, things that stay the same and that bring us consistency, stability, and a way to understand ourselves and the world around us. On the other hand, scientists create and welcom...
متن کاملProgress in bottom - quark fragmentation
I review recent progress on bottom-quark fragmentation in e + e − annihilation, top-quark decay and H → b ¯ b processes. I discuss the implementation of collinear and soft resummation, and the inclusion of non-perturbative information taken from LEP and SLD data. Heavy-quark physics is currently one of the major fields of investigation in experimental and theoretical particle physics. In order ...
