Brauer and Kuroda showed in the fifties how in a Galois extension of number fields, relations between permutation characters of subgroups provide relations between invariants, such as the discriminant, class number and regulator, of the corresponding intermediate fields. In this paper we investigate various computational aspects of these relations, we present examples, and we give a method to a...

Many journals post accepted articles online before they are formally published in an issue. Early citation impact evidence for these articles could be helpful for timely research evaluation and to identify potentially important articles that quickly attract many citations. This article investigates whether Microsoft Academic can help with this task. For over 65,000 Scopus in-press articles from...

Women who have academic careers in engineering have successfully navigated the social identity threats that prevent many other women from feeling that they belong in science, technology, engineering, and math fields. In this research, we examined what factors may be related to resilience in these academic environments. Female academics in engineering and nonengineering fields watched a fictitio...

Public health draws from a range of academic disciplines, social, medical and statistical, and answers questions relevant to improving the health of populations. We have initiated a Europe-wide study, Strengthening Public Health Research in Europe, to assess the development and use of public health research in both public policy and local decision making. The contemporary challenge for public h...

Self-tracking technologies used by healthy self-experimenters and chronic illness patients are relatively new but offer potential to accelerate the discovery of evidence-based protocols in the fields of human biology and medicine. Among both academic researchers and real-world practitioners in these fields there is an ever-present body of misinformation, leading to the proliferation of myth-bas...

In a world increasingly shaped by scientific advances and rapid developments, the fields of communications, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics will certainly enjoy the prospect of rapid growth in coming years. However, educators in these fields face a range of challenges if that potential is to be realized. Computer science (CS), for instance, has one of the highest growth potent...

This paper describes a phenomenological study in which the authors explored students’ experiences learning qualitative research in a variety of academic fields. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with six participants from various academic fields who had completed at least one post-secondary-school-level qualitative research course and who were not students of the researchers.
