Citizen science involves laymen in some steps of a scientific experiment: citizens are volunteers devoting their free time to citizen projects. Therefore it is important investigate the factors influencing motivation and engagement. In this paper, we present our study TESS photometer network participants, an initiative collect light pollution data. We results insight investigation instrument ad...

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>This is the first part of a series devoting to generalizations and applications common theorems in variational bifurcation theory. Using parameterized versions splitting Morse theory we generalize some famous for potential operators by weakening standard assumptions on differentiability involved functionals, which opens up way studies quasi-linear elliptic bou...

In this article, the relationship between vertex degrees and entries of the doubly stochastic graph matrix has been investigated. In particular, we present an upper bound for the main diagonal entries of a doubly stochastic graphmatrix and investigate the relations between a kind of distance for graph vertices and the vertex degrees. These results are used to answer in negative Merris’ question...

English vocabulary is an indispensable part in the whole second language teaching process. Language experts and teachers have been devoting themselves to exploration of effective models. With extensive application information technology recent years, multimodality has integrated into classroom multi-modal mode widely used teaching. This paper tries expound feasibility integrating multimodal mod...

is one of ten regional units mandated by Congress and established in Fall 1988 to support research, education, and training in surface transportation. The UC Center serves federal Region IX and is supported by matching grants from the U.S. Department of Transportation, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), and the University. Based on the Berkeley Campus, UCTC draws upon exist...

Five innovative policy measures are being implemented to address these challenges: performance-based grants, a global vaccine purchasing fund, the new International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm), public-private product development partnerships (PDPs) for development of new products, and advance market commitments (AMCs) to create incentives to develop and manufacture new vaccines. T...

Identifying and measuring the impact of public support to industry is a difficult task. Recent OECD studies analyse transfers to industrial firms which are categorised in two groups: the first consisting of money transfers (for R&D and innovation contracts, and for procurement of innovated products and processes); the second of financial incentives (regular grants, reimbursable grants, interest...
