Researcher denied future U.S. funds

Marc J. Straus, formerly senior investigator on a lung cancer treatment project at Boston University, has been barred from receiving any federal funding until 1986 because of alleged fabrication of drug reponse data. Straus maintains that he was the victim of a conspiracy by some disgruntled employees. This represents the first time that federal "debarment" regulations have been invoked over the misuse of grant monies.     

论高职院校学报编辑工作的现代化

高职院校学报编辑工作的现代化,不仅仅体现在学报编辑业务方面,也体现在学报编辑管理方面.其现代化包括计算机化和网络化.实现学报编辑工作的现代化,建立学报投稿电子登记簿、编辑部数据库(包括文献资料库、评审专家库、作者库)以及网上查询系统等非常重要.同时,还要转变思想观念,做好桥梁工作;加大资金投入力度;广做宣传、加强沟通;保障网站、计算机的安全.

Is HACCP Nothing? A Disjoint Constitution between Inspectors, Processors, and Consumers and the Cider Industry in Michigan

The transmission of a product or idea from one culture or point of origin to another and the maintenance of control outside the new locality has been referred to as the distribution and maintenance of “nothing.” This perspective has been used to describe the global marketplace and the influence of large multinational corporations on the politics and cultures of host countries. This paper uses this concept, but within a much smaller context. Using the sensitizing concept of a “disjoint constitution,” we interviewed health inspectors and apple cider producers in Michigan to determine if the implementation of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) program designed to ensure food safety was characterized by a power differential that would favor the inspectors. In addition, a larger survey of processors and an internet survey of apple cider consumers was conducted to supplement this data. It was found that HACCP had characteristics of both “nothing” and “something” and that better communication is needed between these groups to move it further along toward the something end of the continuum.

科技期刊影响力量化评价的研究

科技期刊影响力体现的是期刊的社会价值、受关注程度,以及学术质量,但如何将其量化评价,仍存在较大分歧。对此,以中国农业核心期刊《农业展望》为例,根据《中国学术期刊综合引证报告》的主要文献计量指标,统计了2005—2015年,中国知网（CNKI）的所有期刊数据,分析期刊论文载文量、下载量、基金论文比例、被引文献比和被引频次等。经分析发现,期刊的以上统计数据均表现为逐年递增的态势,说明期刊发展迅速,具有一定的学术质量和学术影响力,同时,科研人员对期刊的关注程度较高,体现了期刊的使用价值和社会价值。期刊2009—2011年迅猛发展,2012年后保持发展势头并趋于稳定,说明创刊10年来,期刊发展已趋于成熟。但期刊的基金论文比例尚有待提高,仍具有一定的发展空间。因此,量化的统计数据体现了同行专家、学者和读者对期刊的关注程度,反映了期刊的学术质量和学术影响力,具有客观性、公正性和准确性。     

毛泽东的大同思想与人民公社

青年时期的毛泽东在继承中国传统的大同思想的同时,还受到了西方新思想的影响,建国后成为党和国家领导人后,他认为人民公社是通向大同社会的最好途径,于是就有了轰轰烈烈的人民公社化运动。毛泽东的大同理想与人民公社化运动有着必然联系,是其思想的组成部分。     

贵港地区气温日较差特征分析

[目的]分析1960～2009年贵港地区气温日较差的演变趋势。[方法]利用贵港地区1960～2009年来具有连续完整记录的3个气象台站的平均气温、日最高和最低气温等资料,对该地区气温日较差变化特征进行了分析,研究该地区气温日较差的演变趋势。[结果]年最低气温、最高气温均呈明显上升趋势,最高气温上升幅度小于最低气温,气温日较差呈减小趋势;夏秋季气温日较差大于冬春季,各月变化呈单峰单谷型;气温日较差空间变化倾向值形成以北回归线为中心向两侧逐渐减小趋势;远离北回归线的台站极端日较差减小幅度最大,显著性强;靠近北回归线的台站极端日较差减小幅度较小,甚至呈弱增加趋势,但显著性水平不高。不同因子对日较差影响不同,日照与日较差正相关显著,总云量、相对湿度和降水量与日较差负相关显著,而与平均风速相关性不显著。[结论]该研究为了解贵港地区气候变化规律提供依据。     

School says researcher synthesized results

A Mount Sinai Medical School investigation has resulted in an admission by former employee Joseph H. Cort that he had misrepresented drug research that figured in articles, a patent, and an NIH grant application. Mount Sinai was alerted to the fabrication of data by the Vega Technology Company of Tucson, which funded the drug studies. Mount Sinai is proposing new policies and procedures to "assure the integrity of scientific research," including regular peer review, better supervision, and a permanent research review committee.     

Swiss research questioned

The University of Geneva has notified the National Cancer Institute that work on nuclear transplantation done by one of its researchers, Karl Illmensee, is under review for alleged irregularities. Other scientists have had difficulty in reproducing the results of Illmensee's research, which was thought to have important implications for the cloning of mammals. Illmensee, an NCI grant recipient, had performed similar experiments as a visiting professor at Bar Harbor's Jackson Laboratory in collaboration with Peter Hoppe. An investigation into that work is now being planned.

Spruce budworm mortality as a function of aerial spray droplet size

The size and number of aerial spray drops impinging on spruce budworm in its conifer forest habitat were determined by means of a new tracer method that uses fluorescent particles in a liquid spray. Examination of 1113 larvae affected by an experimental insecticide that had been applied to a 5000-acre (2024-ha) test area in Montana showed that 93 percent had not been contacted by any droplets larger than 50 micro in diameter. Small numbers of droplets 50 to 100 micro in diameter were found on 7 percent of the larvae, along with lethal numbers of smaller drops. No evidence was found that significant numbers of drops larger than 100 micro reached the target insects. Because about 95 percent of the spray applied to forests by current methods consist of droplets larger than 50 micro, the biologically effective portion of the drop spectrum is only a few percent. The data foreshadow a major potential reduction in insecticide requirements for the successful control of spruce budworm.     

The mysterious expulsion of Steven Mosher

A detailed account is presented of information that has been provided by Stanford University and by unnamed "knowledgeable" sources on the events that led to Steven Mosher's expulsion from the Stanford anthropology department's doctoral program. The department will only say that, while in China, Mosher engaged in "illegal and seriously unethical conduct...and in doing so endangered his research subjects." Mosher contends that he was ousted because he had published an article in a Taiwanese magazine about third-trimester abortions in the Chinese village where he conducted his research.     

ADDRESS OF COL. GARRICK MALLERY,U. S. ARMY

It may be conceded that after man had all his present faculties, he did not choose between the adoption of voice and gesture, and never with those faculties, was in a state where the one was used, to the absolute exclusion of the other. The epoch, however, to which our speculations relate is that in which he had not reached the present symmetric development of his intellect and of his bodily organs, and the inquiry is: Which mode of communication was earliest adopted to his single wants and informed intelligence? With the voice he could imitate distinictively but few sounds of nature, while with gesture he could exhibit actions, motions, positions, forms, dimensions, directions and distances, with their derivations and analogues. It would seem from this unequal division of capacity that oral speech remained rudimentary long after gesture had become an efficient mode of communication. With due allowance for all purely imitative sounds, and for the spontaneous action of vocal organs under excitement, it appears that the connection between ideas and words is only to be explained by a compact between speaker and hearer which supposes the existence of a prior mode of communication. This was probably by gesture. At least we may accept it as a clew leading out of the labyrinth of philological confusion, and regulating the immemorial quest of man's primitive speech.
