青年医学工作者科普能力培养新模式

为了培养青年医师运用医学科普语言传播医学知识的能力，向社会提供更优质、可及的健康知识，改善医患关系，促进社会和谐；同时出于向社区、媒体推送一批优秀青年医学科普人才的考虑，本文在总结北京协和医院培养青年医务人员医学科普能力经验的基础上，尝试构建一套适合大型公立医院（尤其是教学医院）培养青年医务人员医学科普能力的新模式——“科普训练营”。本文旨在系统介绍该模式的产生背景、实践经验及初期效果，阐释实施后的重要意义，及实施过程中的挑战与应对策略。     

设计从艺术与技术的结合走向艺术与科学的结合

艺术与科学的问题一直是设计界普遍关注的问题之一。技术与艺术的分离与结合，推动了设计的发展，但设计最终必将走向科学与艺术的结合之路。     

2003 Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Science of Psychology.

Presents the 2003 American Psychological Foundation's Gold Medal Award for Life Achievement in the Science of Psychology, which was presented to Robert Rosenthal. A biography of Rosenthal is provided, along with a selected bibliography and the text of the award citation: "For outstanding scientific contributions that have had a profound influence on research methods, empirical investigations, theory, and applications. Robert Rosenthal's seminal research on interpersonal expectancy inspired hundreds of studies with applications within and beyond psychology. His amplification of experimenter- and subject-related artifacts and his insights about ethical issues have improved the way that research is conducted. His statistical contributions are classic and wide ranging, including his body of work on meta-analysis and contrast analysis and his formulation of valuable procedures, such as the binomial effect-size display and counternull statistics. An exceptional scientist, teacher, mentor, and author, Rosenthal, with his generous and brilliant touch, has shaped the lives and work of countless others."

Why is science difficult to learn? Things are seldom what they seem

Abstract The difficulties of learning science are related to the nature of science itself and to the methods by which science is customarily taught without regard to what is known about children's learning. An information processing model is proposed to guide thinking and research in this area.     

Data-logging: effects on practical science

Abstract This paper describes an investigation into the processes and effects of using electronic data-logging in practical science. A pilot study of classical laboratory work in schools was compared with similar tasks performed with data-logging systems. A more detailed exploration of pupils' performance was then conducted through an extensive series of observations in a range of secondary schools. The results reinforce previous indications of the potential benefits of data-logging, but such benefits must be viewed in the curriculum context of the type of measurement activity and the pedagogical context of teaching and learning objectives. The paper concludes with a discussion of the latter issues.     

The 'Conceptual Change In Science' project

Abstract This paper outlines the work of the Conceptual Change in Science project, funded as part of the ESRC InTER programme. The aims of this research project are to clarify and describe the process of change in learners' conceptual understandings of natural phenomena. The domain of reasoning selected for study is that of mechanics. Computer software which may be useful in exploring and developing pupils' reasoning and promoting conceptual change in this domain is being developed and evaluated. The group that is carrying out the research is based at the Universities of Leeds, Glasgow and the Open University.

The 2006 summary of scientific productivity of chemical engineers in Taiwan

In this report, the scientific productivity of Year 2006 of chemical engineering professionals in Taiwan was analyzed carefully with information retrieved from the database of the ISI Web of Science. The distributions of number of authors with x publication versus the number of publication x follows a general power-law trend, which coincidently comply with the Pareto distribution. The power-law indices found ranges from −1.64 to −2.22, which is consistent with values reported in the literature investigated for periods of 1907–1916 and 1969–2004.

Electron Microscopy Imaging Applications of Room Temperature Ionic Liquids in the Biological Field: A Review

For biological imaging using electron microscopy (EM), the use of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) has been proposed as an alternative to traditional lengthy preparation methods. With their low vapor pressures and conductivity, RTILs can be applied onto hard-to-image soft and/or wet samples without dehydration – allowing for a more representative, hydrated state of material and opening the possibility for visualization of in situ physiological processes using conventional EM systems. However, RTILs have yet to be utilized to their full potential by microscopists and microbiologists alike. To this end, this review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of biological applications of RTILs for EM to bridge the RTIL, in situ microscopy, and biological communities. We outline future research avenues for the use of RTILs for the EM observation of biological samples, notably i) RTIL selection and optimization, ii) applications for live cell processes and iii) electron beam and ionic liquid interaction studies.
