The T assessment tool: a simple metric for assessing multidisciplinary graduate education
Although there is considerable activity in developing assessment protocols for undergraduate learning, there are few established models for assessment of student progress in multidisciplinary doctoral-level graduate education. To resolve this impediment in tracking graduate student development, we created a simple assessment tool based on the concept of T competency that allows graduate students ...

Revisiting particle sizing using greyscale optical array probes: evaluation using laboratory experiments and synthetic data
Abstract: In situ observations from research aircraft and instrumented ground sites are important contributions to developing our collective understanding of clouds and are used to inform and validate numerical weather and climate models. Unfortunately, biases in these datasets may be present, which can limit their value. In this paper, we discuss artefacts which may bias data from a widely used ...

The evolution of thermal mass flow meters
Who were some of the pioneers in thermal mass flow technology? A. Thermo-Systems, Inc. (TSI) began in its founder’s basement in 1959, with a cooled-film anemometer designed for transient measurements in high temperature fluid flows. This led to TSI’s hot-film and hot-wire anemometers, the first commercial products of this type. These immersion-type devices were used mainly as ...

Making the invisible visible: the impact of federating groundwater data in Victoria, Australia
The Visualising Victoria's Groundwater (VVG) web portal federates groundwater data for the State of Victoria, Australia, thus making legacy data, government datasets, research data and community-sourced data and observations visible to the public. The portal is innovative because it was developed outside of the government and offers real-time access to remote authoritative databases by ...

Compete or collaborate
The history of science is full of stories of both longstanding rivalry and successful collaboration between researchers or research groups. At best, a competitive attitude can boost the performance of scientists and speed up making discoveries and publishing results. However, nobody benefits, when the competition is going too far and people start to hide their best results and stop sharing their ...

New knowledge: production v. diffusion; the case of UK biotechnology
This paper looks at issues of appropriability and diffusion in UK biotechnology. It contrasts the various solutions to appropriability problems facing the production of R&D with the more intractable problems of diffusion, in particular across the university-industry divide. It focuses on issues of ownership of new knowledge between university and industry and argues that these, in practice, are ...

Grey & green is the new black
Everyone knows that the most important feature of a (scientific) measurement instrument is that it gives accurate measurement results reliably. It is a general prejudice that scientists do not care about the superficial things, like how they or their instrument looks. Let’s say that we have two instruments that perform their measuring task equally well, and their price difference is minor. ...
