Purpose of the experiment: The materials with light-triggered and/or -driven function have been attractive in creating a novel conceptual function. To investigate those structures not only understand the mechanism of photo-induced phenomena but also lead new design of optical functional materials. For reasons detailed below, we focus on one of spin crossover complexes t-[Fe(abpt)2(NCS)2] polymo...

1. Background About half of the Swedish Universities and University colleges are today administrating some sort of institutional repository and about a dozen of these can deliver meta data according to the recommendations set by a national project SVEP in 2003-05. Today the problem is not a lack of software or hardware technology. The immediate question is instead how we are going to fill our a...

We all should question the magnitude of that benefit, but this does not imply that the elderly should not be vaccinated. There is a void of evidence from randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials in the elderly for influenza vaccines that are relicensed annually, confusion about the effectiveness of the vaccine and, consequently, substantial disagreement in the literature on the implied bu...

There is currently no generally accepted method for identifying the community of translational researchers when evaluating Clinical and Translational Science Centers. We use data from the multiyear evaluation of the University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) to investigate the complexities of reliably identifying translational researchers. We use thre...

Scientists have long known that variation in animal color patterns carry far more than cosmetic signifi cance. Darwin fi rst connected pigmentation with adaptive advantage, noting that male fi nches with bright red plumage enjoyed greater reproductive success than their drab competitors. Explaining why coloration confers such advantages, however, has proved somewhat easier than showing how it a...

Over 30,000 French scientists have signed an online petition to " save research " set up last month, with a pledge to stop their administrative duties unless the government starts listening to their complaints about funding. There is one signature for every minute that has passed since the petition — aiming to save the French public research base from the latest cuts imposed by the government —...

Starting from the dataset of the publication corpus of the APS during the period 1955–2009, we reconstruct the individual researchers trajectories, namely the list of the consecutive affiliations for each scholar. Crossing this information with different geographic datasets we embed these trajectories in a spatial framework. Using methods from network theory and complex systems analysis we char...

Little is known about the role of nurse researchers (NRs) and the structure of nursing research programs in children's hospitals in the United States. This descriptive study obtained survey data from 33 NRs. Data suggest that the NR role is emerging and has both commonalities and unique components when compared with the previous studies of NRs in adult hospitals. Most participants have been in ...
