Purpose – Research with stem cells is a biomedical venture with great scientific impact, and whose development flows over into many other areas. This article presents a dual analysis of Spain ́s scientific output in this field during the period 1997-2007. Design/methodology/approach – We used, on the one hand, bibliometric indicators of a basic nature, and on the other hand, techniques for the v...

This paper develops a framework for constructing an R&D output price index. Based on a model of the innovator, we show that the price of innovation is equal to the expected discounted stream of profits attributable to the adoption of the innovation. Using this relationship, we construct an R&D output price index using data on NAICS 5417, Scientific R&D services. We compute that R&D output price...

BACKGROUND As in other fields of medicine, scientific production in the field of dentistry has significant placement. This study aimed at quantitatively and qualitatively evaluating Iranian researchers' scientific output in the field of dentistry and determining their contribution in each of dentistry subfields and branches. METHODS This research was a scientometric study that applied quantit...

Current Augmented Reality (AR) applications require that the application software be written to support a specific AR interface set up. WireAR was developed to enable output from any OpenGL application to be viewed in an AR fashion. This enables the output from any legacy graphical or scientific visualization applications to be viewed in a collaborative AR setting. This demonstration shows how ...

In most countries, basic research is supported by research councils that select, after peer review, the individuals or teams that are to receive funding. Unfortunately, the number of grants these research councils can allocate is not infinite and, in most cases, a minority of the researchers receive the majority of the funds. However, evidence as to whether this is an optimal way of distributin...

This paper describes the improvements that we have applied on CAMR baseline parser (Wang et al., 2016) at Task 8 of SemEval-2016. Our objective is to increase the performance of CAMR when parsing sentences from scientific articles, especially articles of biology domain more accurately. To achieve this goal, we built two wrapper layers for CAMR. The first layer, which covers the input data, will...

This article reflects our experience with the preservation of computer programs that once served a scientific purpose, but were not maintained since then. After producing results, published in scientific journals in the 70’s, 80’s and begin 90’s, they were stored provisionally on some kind of persistent medium and are at present restored to current state of the art hardware. We constructed an a...
