We present an overview of current academic curricula for Scientific Computing, High-Performance Computing and Data Science. After a survey of current academic and non-academic programs across the globe, we focus on Canadian programs and specifically on the education program of the SciNet HPC Consortium, using its detailed enrollment and course statistics for the past four to five years. Not onl...

in spite of the importance of academic entrepreneurship, universities and higher education institutions lack accurate information and measures to monitor and evaluate activities of academic entrepreneurship. indicators of academic entrepreneurship could be used as units of strategic information for planning entrepreneurial university development.  thus, this research aimed to identify and valid...

A popular social media topic for researchers, practitioners, educators, students from various disciplines is the use of microblogging in academic research. This paper analyses ways in which educators relate to this new web2.0 tool in the research activities they carry out. The methodology puts forward an exploratory approach of the universe of microblogging as a social media tool used for schol...

A defining characteristic of contemporary copyright law is the willingness of governments to accept the argument that the impact of digital technologies requires copyright owners to be given ever greater control over the use of their works, regardless of the detriment to the copyright regime's 'public interest' elements. Yet a one-size-fits-all 'all rights reserved' copyright regime clearly fai...

In this thesis, I focus on the phonological representation of the articulatory component of speech production. I argue for a phonological constituent called the Constriction Node, which represents the constriction gesture. Within the segmental tree (cf. Clements (1985), Sagey (1986)), the Con-

To test the efficacy of Withaniasomnifera(W.somnifera)on serum lipid profile and protein fractions of heat stressed Japanese quails, a study was conducted using root ethanolic extract and crude powder in two different levels for each. Three hundred 6 weeks old Japanese quail hens was assigned to one of the following five treatments: control T0 (without any addition), T1= daily oral administrati...

Modest support was found for the "Dr. Fox Phenomenon": Management scientists gain prestige by unintelligible writing. A positive correlation (+0.7) was found between the prestige of 10 management journals and their "fog indices" (reading difficulty). Furthermore, 32 faculty members were asked to rate the prestige of four passages from management journals. The content of the passages was held co...

We have performed a set of experiments to show that the tachistoscopic presentation of a form at the point of fixation makes an identical form salient where it occurs in the peripheral visual field during the same flash. We call demasking the induced saliency of forms that are laterally masked within a horizontal string of forms that lie away from the fixation point. We call eccentric enhanceme...
