Signals in science - On the importance of signaling in gaining attention in science

Which signals are important in gaining attention in science? For a group of 1,371 scientific articles published in 17 demography journals in the years 1990-1992 we track their influence and discern which signals are important in receiving citations. Three types of signals are examined: the author's reputation (as producer of the idea), the journal (as the broker of the idea), and the state of uncitedness (as an indication of the assessment by the scientific community of an idea). The empirical analysis points out that, first, the reputation of journals plays an overriding role in gaining attention in science. Second, in contrast to common wisdom, the state of uncitedness does not affect the future probability of being cited. And third, the reputation of a journal may help to get late recognition (so-called sleeping beauties) as well as generate 'flash-in-the-pans': immediately noted articles but apparently not very influential in the long run.

Water bamboo husk reinforced poly(lactic acid) green composites

The water bamboo husk is one of major agricultural wastes in Taiwan. In this study, the powder obtained from the water bamboo husk was added to poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to form novel reinforced biodegradable composites. Morphologies, mechanical properties, and heat resistance of these water bamboo powder reinforced composites were investigated. The results indicate that the char yields were increased as plant powder was incorporated to PLA. In addition, the mechanical properties were also enhanced due to the addition of powders. The increments of storage moduli of PLA were about 50–200%. Moreover, the increments of loss moduli of PLA were about 70–200%. On the other hand, the T_g of PLA was slightly decreased by the addition of powder, and this may improve the brittle characteristics of PLA. Furthermore, this type of reinforced PLA would be more environmental friendly than the artificial additive‐reinforced one. POLYM. ENG. SCI., 2008. © 2008 Society of Plastics Engineers     

配置抗冲切钢筋的混凝土异形柱-板柱连接试验研究

在9个柱截面为三种典型异形柱(十字形、T形和L形) -板柱连接未配置抗冲切钢筋时的冲切特性试验基础上,以十字形柱-板柱连接为代表,通过三个配置抗冲切钢筋试件与三个未配抗冲切钢筋试件的对比试验,研究了异形柱-板柱连接配置抗冲切钢筋后的冲切特性,同时将锚栓和箍筋的抗冲切性能进行了对比。试验结果表明,抗冲切钢筋可以有效地提高板的受冲切承载力和延性,在改善延性方面,锚栓比箍筋更有效。另外,将国外几个主要规范ACI3 18、BS8110及MC90 ,关于对非矩形荷载面冲切临界截面周长的规定进行了比较,从试验结果看,ACI3 18规范的取法更合理。     

一种PN码自适应捕获门限的改进算法

文献[1]提出了一种用于直扩系统的PN码自适应门限算法。但该文献也指出,此算法对门限总数十分敏感。当门限总数设置不当时,系统的平均捕获时间将显著增加。这限制了该算法在实际中的应用。本文就此提出了改进,给出了算法及电路框图。仿真结果表明,与原方案相比,改进算法改善了对门限总数的敏感性,降低了PN码平均捕获时间。

The timing of appraisals.

The appraisal process consists of the subjective evaluation that occurs during an individual's encounter with significant events in the environment, determining the nature of the emotional reaction and experience. Placed in the context of appraisal theories of emotion-elicitation and differentiation, the aim of the present research was to test empirically the hypothesis that the intrinsic pleasantness evaluation occurs before the goal conduciveness evaluation. In two studies, intrinsically pleasant and unpleasant images were used to manipulate pleasantness, and a specific event in a Pacman-type videogame was used to manipulate goal conduciveness. Facial EMG was used to measure facial reactions to each evaluation. As predicted, facial reactions to the intrinsic pleasantness manipulation were faster than facial reactions to the goal conduciveness manipulation. These results provide good empirical support for the sequential nature of the appraisal process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved)

上海如何发展循环经济

上海是个资源匮乏、环境容量有限的大都市。随着经济的发展,资源需求和环境污染问题日益突出。如果继续走传统经济发展之路,只能削弱上海经济发展的后劲,阻碍上海可持续发展战略的实施。因此,研究如何发展循环经济,对于上海解决环境与发展的矛盾,增强国际竞争力都具有十分重要的意义。1 上海开展循环经济面临的形势 从国际形势看,许多发达国家正把发展循环经济、建立循环型社会,作为实现环境与经济协调发展的重要途径,并在循环经济的探索和实践中取得了显著的成效。如杜邦化学公司采用的3R制造法、丹麦卡伦堡生态工业区、德国生活垃
