Scientific and technical human capital: an alternative model for research evaluation

We provide an alternative model for evaluating science and technology projects and programs. Our approach, a "scientific and technical human capital" (S&T human capital) model, gives less attention to the discrete products and immediate outcomes from scientific projects and programs - the usual focus of evaluations - and more attention to scientists' career trajectories and their ...

Management of technology through Vision-Driven R&D

Japanese manufacturing companies have grown based on strong new product development by market-driven R&D. In the early 1990s, they had strengthened their basic research and challenged scientific research, because they needed new innovative technologies for new product development. Some management resources had been invested in basic research and top management had high expectations for their R&D, ...

R&D policy evaluation: the effects of R&D subsidies in Italy

In a context of scarce resources, exacerbated by the economic crisis, financing investment and structural changes in slowly growing economies, such as Italy, is very challenging. It becomes fundamental to engage in evaluation exercises in order to understand what policies are working and for whom. The paper offers an evaluation exercise on the major instruments used to promote R&D and innovation ...

Modeling of the formwork removal of a rubble stone masonry bridge - Case Study

Project Description Determine the mechanical behavior of a stone arch bridge during the phase of the formwork removal. Reproduce as closely as possible the behavior observed on site and dependent on the behavior of the blocks and their interactions. Use discrete block modeling, first in 2D (plane deformations) and then in 3D. Work carried out within the framework of the research project ...

Evaluation of the equations of state for air, nitrogen and oxygen on throttle reduction efficiency by using exergy analysis

Exergy (available energy) analysis was applied to calculate the efficiency of throttling process by using some of equations of state. Differences between calculations by using three equations of state, Soave?Redlich?Kwong (S?R?K), Van der Waals and Beattie?Bridgeman on three substances air, nitrogen and oxygen are shown. The calculations for nitrogen are found to be close to air because almost ...
