Peck, L. W. "Technical development and scientific preparation for the e-MERLIN Cygnus OB2 radio survey." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2014. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1448347/.

Abstract:

e-MERLIN is a recent upgrade to the MERLIN radio array. This enhanced facility utilises recent developments in wide bandwidth receivers, a new WIDAR correlator, and a new optical fibre network. This upgrade provides an increase in sensitivity and image fidelity, but also results in a significant increase in data volume. This thesis is motivated by the Cygnus OB2 Radio Survey (COBRaS), an e-MERLIN Legacy project observing the core region of the largest OB association in the northern hemisphere. COBRaS has been awarded ~ 300 hours observing time, resulting in a total Legacy dataset of tens of terabytes. It is not feasible to calibrate this amount of data manually, highlighting the necessity for automated procedures. This thesis primarily contains technical development for e-MERLIN during the commissioning phase and early Legacy observations from COBRaS, which focuses on the creation of automated flagging and calibration pipelines. This includes an automated RFI-mitigation and reduction tool (SERPent), as well as a full calibration pipeline consisting of: phase calibration with fringe fitting, amplitude calibration with the flux calibrator 3C286, bandpass calibration with spectral index and curvature fitting, and automated self-calibration on combined or individual IFs. A program for extracting fluxes for resolved and unresolved sources from radio maps with a detection significance boosting module has also been developed. In addition to the technical work, scientific preparations and initial results for COBRaS are also presented. A catalogue amalgamation routine for the Cyg OB2 association cross correlates previous surveys of Cyg OB2 into one definitive catalogue. Subsequent specific catalogues are compiled from this one catalogue to create an OB star catalogue and candidate catalogue. The predicted mass loss rates and radio fluxes from the winds of O-type stars and early B-type supergiants are determined, and this includes predictions from smooth wind models as well as predictions including the effects of clumping in the winds. The inclusion of an X-ray variability study of the Chandra Cyg OB2 Legacy dataset, provides a multi-wavelength view of the population of Cyg OB2, which complements COBRaS. The first COBRaS 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz radio images of Cyg OB2 are presented with source and flux lists and some initial analysis. The technical developments presented in this thesis are discussed in the context of COBRaS and of future interferometers such as the SKA and its associated pathfinders.

Abstract:

Despite the fact that majority of world's public presumably doesn't follow current development of problem-solving in natural sciences very closely, results of the research in these highly specialized branches of knowledge have had profound imact on everyday life of entire mankind even over the period of the last century; this thesis describes the effects of this phenomenon on the political and security level. This thesis shows that not only apparently strategic-related fields of research affect the relations within the global community, but that even the pieces of knowledge produced by seemingly strictly academic scientific disciplines have significant effects on this problematic. Thus, political and security situation is profoundly affected by discoveries in modern mathematics, by applications of contemporary findings in physics and chemistry, as well as by sciences concerned with further exploration of the planet Earth and also by those natural sciences that deepen understanding of humankind. Also, we can presume that importance of these scientific disciplines shall not grow lesser in the future; in fact, both the development of knowledge itself and its significance for the international community can be expected to bring on many challenges that will have to be dealt with by foremost scientists as well as by representatives of various countries and international organizations.

Abstract:

Scientific and technical translation has always played a pivotal role in disseminating knowledge. Today, the domain of science and technology is the main area of translation work. Nevertheless, there is still a discrepancy between the growing need for high-quality technical translations and the short supply of competent technical translators to produce them, a situation which may be due in part to the recent neglect of the equivalence concept in the theoretical/descriptive and applied branches of translation studies (TS). This thesis sets out to redefine, reassess, and reinstate equivalence as a useflul concept in TS by adopting an approach based on the English-German language pair and on one specific text genre and type. The investigation of equivalence as a qualitative complete-text-in-context-based concept is embedded in an equivalence-relevant methodology based on two methodological pillars, the first being a theoretically sound translation comparison and the second a highly refined translation corpus. Within this methodological framework, equivalence-relevant features are investigated and described at the syntactic, lexical-semantic, terminological-phraseological and overall textual levels. These levels are hierarchically interrelated in descending and ascending order and may be conditioned by pragmatic aspects, viz., domain knowledge and register considerations. The comparison is made using a high-quality corpus selected on the basis of a threefold set of selection criteria, with a special emphasis on the qualitative criteria. This helps us generate well-underpinned intersubjectifiable regularities in the form of potential equivalents established in the TT for ST equivalence-relevant features and enables us to obtain meaningful generalizations. Both regularities and generalizations should be capable of implementation in the applied branches of TS and, at the same time, help dynamize and intersubjectify the complex concept of equivalence. So, hopefully, this thesis will also contribute toward creating a link between the methodological, theoretical/descriptive and applied branches of TS to their mutual benefit.

Van, Doel Richard M. "Exploring Stewardship Characteristics in Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Employee-Owned Companies." Thesis, Indiana Wesleyan University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10286641.

Full text

Abstract:

<p> This study sought to explore stewardship characteristics within employee-owned companies in the professional, scientific, and technical services industry. For the purpose of this study, <i>stewardship characteristics</i> were defined as the psychological (i.e., intrinsic motivation, organizational identification, use of power) and situational (i.e., collectivism, involvement orientation, and power distance) mechanisms that promote pro-organizational collectivist behaviors within the employee–owners of employee-owned companies organized as Employee Stock Ownership Programs (ESOPs). ESOPs have grown in popularity as a method of transitioning ownership to the firms’ employees since ESOPs were codified by Public Law 93–406 in 1974. There are approximately 7,000 employee-owned firms organized as ESOPs operating in the United States, and these qualified retirement plans cover over 13.5 million participants with total assets exceeding 940 billion dollars. The transition of employees to employee–owners presents a unique governance situation where the employee–owners may simultaneously fulfill the roles of owner, principal, and agent. Stewardship characteristics were measured using a mixed-method approach. The Stewardship Climate Scale quantitatively measured the level of stewardship, and semi-structured interviews helped gain meaning or understanding of stewardship by the ESOP senior leaders. </p><p> At an organizational level, the study found a variation in the level of stewardship among the participating ESOPs. However, each ESOP did demonstrate stewardship characteristics, and there was no significant difference in the aggregate of stewardship climate for the ESOPs participating in the study when grouped by revenue per employee. At the individual level, where positional and nonpositional leaders were grouped together, the study found variation between the two groups. However, there was no significant difference in the aggregate of stewardship climate or any of the six constructs of stewardship between the positional and nonpositional leaders. Lastly, the study found a significant relationship between stewardship characteristics and firm productivity. A significant regression equation was calculated for the aggregate of stewardship climate, the psychological mechanisms, and the individual constructs of organizational identification, intrinsic motivation, and involvement orientation. A moderated multiple regression was calculated which identified the relationship between organizational identification and revenue per employee was moderated by the level of involvement orientation.</p><p> Based on the quantitative and qualitative data, the ESOPs participating in the study did demonstrate stewardship characteristics with no significant difference within the positional and nonpositional employee–owners. Revenue per employee was significantly influenced by stewardship.</p>

Abstract:

Scientific and technical literature has a number of peculiarities, which make it a unique language subfield. Language of scientific and technical literature differs from everyday language due to certain lexical, grammatical and stylistic features. The defining features of scientific and technical literature are its informative value, consistency, accuracy, objectivity, and clarity. But the main and the most important distinctive feature of this kind of literature is the variety of terminology. There are terms that have the same form but represent entirely different concepts, and they are called homonyms.

Abstract:

Knowledge is the center of operation in modern organizations. This understanding leads them to clearly recognize that their intellectual capital is the essential source of competitive advantage. Organization integration is the todays tendency, which calls for the need to understand the organization as a complete system, implementing new concepts and approaches in an adaptive way to their organizational reality. Knowledge management, in this new approach, incorporates all of these aspects becoming a complex job, which must be fully studied to be brought into the organization routine. This document analyses the technical & scientific committees as an able instrument to contribute to the easiness of group activities in highly complex research organization as the Aerospace Technological Center (CTA) here taken as a case study. Several factors organizational, cultural and behavior have influence when implementing this management tool and need to be analyzed to guarantee a successful way of implementation. The objective of this research is to identify favorable and unfavorable aspects of technical & scientific committees in CTA. These aspects must not be considered separately. To implement these committees successfully the interrelationship of all aspects must be analyzed in a systemic view of the organization. It was possible to verify as well in this research that the committees are considered very important for the Aerospace Technologic al Center activities.<br>O conhecimento é o centro de operação das organizações, na atualidade. Este entendimento leva as organizações a reconhecerem explicitamente que o seu capital intelectual é fonte essencial de vantagem competitiva. A tendência atual é a de integração da organização, o que cria a necessidade de entendê-la como um todo sistêmico, implementando os novos conceitos e abordagens de forma adaptativa à realidade organizacional. A gestão do conhecimento, nessa nova abordagem, incorpora todos esses aspectos, tornando-se uma tarefa complexa que deve ser amplamente estudada para ser inserida na rotina da organização. Neste trabalho são abordados os comitês técnico-científicos, um instrumento julgado capaz de contribuir para a criação de um contexto de facilitação das atividades em grupo em organizações complexas de ensino e/ou pesquisa, tal como o Centro Técnico Aeroespacial, aqui tomado como estudo de caso. Diversos fatores organizacionais, culturais e comportamentais influenciam a implantação desse instrumento gerencial e necessitam ser analisados, a fim de se ter uma sistemática de implantação que tenha êxito. O objetivo da pesquisa foi a identificação de aspectos favoráveis e desfavoráveis à implantação dos comitês técnico-científicos no Centro. Esses fatores não devem ser considerados isoladamente. Para o sucesso da implantação dos comitês, o inter-relacionamento desses fatores deve ser analisado, contemplando uma visão sistêmica da organização. Pôde-se verificar também, nesta pesquisa, que os comitês são considerados importantes para as atividades do Centro Técnico Aeroespacial.

Knowledge of the translation subject is crucial for the translator of scientific and technical literature. During translation process, the translator should fully understand the meaning, semantic relations and metatextual elements of the sentences. It is obvious that the most complex grammatical problems of translation are connected with the understanding of syntactic and morphological structure of sentences as linguistic elements that directly convey subject information.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the relationship between copyright law and translation, and the impact that this has on promoting access to scientific and technical knowledge in developing countries. For this purpose, Sri Lanka is taken as a case study. The thesis argues that the translation of scientific and technical books and learning materials (which are often copyright protected), and the publication of these translations in large quantities in a timely and affordable manner, is crucially important in promoting access to scientific and technical knowledge in Sri Lanka. However, the copyright law of Sri Lanka is an impediment to the timely and affordable translation of copyright protected scientific and technical books and learning materials and the publication of translations in large quantities. This is because copyright owners’ translation rights, as protected by the copyright law of Sri Lanka, can prevent the translation of these works – or, at least, increase the expenses involved in translation and the time that must be expended in its pursuit. This thesis identifies four main interrelated factors that have contributed to the inimical relationship between copyright law and the timely and affordable translation of scientific and technical books and learning materials in Sri Lanka. They are: colonisation; international copyright law; the trade interests of Sri Lanka; and the lack of expertise and general lack of awareness surrounding copyright law in Sri Lanka.<br>Thesis (PhD Doctorate)<br>Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>Griffith Law School<br>Arts, Education and Law<br>Full Text

Full text

Abstract:

Ice sheet reconstructions are concerned with an understanding of the dynamics of palaeo ice sheets through time. This involves ascertaining the configuration of ice domes and flow patterns, as well as the evolution of glaciation and deglaciation. The use of remotely sensed data (radar and visual/near infra-red imagery) has been a key development in these studies, allowing the rapid mapping of individual landforms over large areas. These data sources record electro-magnetic reflectance of an illuminated landscape which leads to the introduction of random and systematic bias’. This research explores the propagation of these bias’ and recommends that, in order to obtain optimum imagery, sensor spatial resolution is < 30m and solar elevation is <20º at acquisition. More problematic is the selective bias introduced by the solar azimuth in relation to the orientation of linear landforms. This cannot be removed and requires a good knowledge of the study area or an additional primary data source (e.g. radar or digital elevation model). DEMs are rapidly supplementing, and in many cases replacing, satellite imagery in landform mapping. However as they record surface elevation, rather than surface reflectance, they should be able to provide a bias-free data source for landform mapping. Methods by which the landscape can be visualised are explored with the purpose of providing a bias free method, although no single visualisation was found to be satisfactory. A suitable mapping strategy was developed through the application of these methods to the mapping of glacial landforms from a DEM of the Lake District. Once landform mapping has been completed it is common for mapped landform data to be generalised in order to reduce their complexity and so aid interpretation. This is usually a manual technique that involves reducing several thousand individual lineaments to summary lines. The thesis concludes with the development of a set of tools to help with this manual process, as well as provide quantitative verification. This is then applied to the landforms mapped from the Lake District in the previous chapter. A method for the automation of this procedure is also suggested.

Abstract:

This thesis consists of two essays and an introduction. The main theme is technological knowledge that is not based on the natural sciences.The first essay is about rules of thumb, which are simple instructions, used to guide actions toward a specific result, without need of advanced knowledge. Knowing adequate rules of thumb is a common form of technological knowledge. It differs both from science-based and intuitive (or tacit) technological knowledge, although it may have its origin in experience, scientific knowledge, trial and error, or a combination thereof. One of the major advantages of rules of thumb is the ease with which they can be learned. One of their major disadvantages is that they cannot easily be adjusted to new situations or conditions. Engineers commonly use rules, theories and models that lack scientific justification. How to include these in introductory technology education is the theme of the second essay. Examples include rules of thumb based on experience, but also models based on obsolete science or folk theories. Centrifugal forces, heat and cold as substances, and sucking vacuum all belong to the latter group. These models contradict scientific knowledge, but are useful for prediction in limited contexts where they are used when found convenient. The role of this kind of models in technology education is the theme of the second essay. Engineers’ work is a common prototype for pupils’ work with product development and systematic problem solving during technology lessons. Therefore pupils should be allowed to use the engineers’ non-scientific models when doing design work in school technology. The acceptance of these could be experienced as contradictory by the pupils: a model that is allowed, or even encouraged in technology class is considered wrong when doing science. To account for this, different epistemological frameworks must be used in science and technology education. Technology is first and foremost about usefulness, not about the truth or even generally applicable laws. This could cause pedagogical problems, but also provide useful examples to explain the limitations of models, the relation between model and reality, and the differences between science and technology.<br><p>QC 20111118</p>

Abstract:

At the beginning of the Cold War, the gathering of intelligence on the Soviet Union's current and future military capability seemed a near-impossibility. Soviet high-level communications were secure against decryption. Agent networks in the USSR were very difficult to establish and of uncertain reliability. Aerial reconnaissance of warrelated targets in the Soviet Union was risky and could only be occasional. But valuable intelligence was gathered in the years 1945-55 on the USSR's frantic arms build-up, thanks to its policy towards Germans and their country. Its exploitation of Germans and its Zone of Germany in its war-related research and development and the reconstruction of its war-related industries gave British Intelligence penetrable targets in the Soviet Zone and gave great numbers of Germans sought-after information on the USSR itself. The ease of recruiting age nts in East Germany and the flight (including enticed defections) of refugees from it allowed research and development projects and uranium.-mining operations there to be penetrated. Intelligence of Soviet weapons development and of the quality of Soviet military technology was obtained. The mass interrogation of prisoners-of-war returned by the Soviets to the British Occupation Zone in the late 1940s yielded a wealth of valuable information on war-related construction and the locations of numerous intelligence targets in the Soviet Union: most importantly, those of atomic and chemical plants, aircraft and aero-engine factories, airfields, rocket development centres and other installations. When, in the period 1949-58, some 3,000 deported German scientists , engineers and technicians were sent back to their homeland from the USSR, promising sources among them were enticed West and interrogated for their knowledge of the Soviets' research and development projects. The cream of the information they provided was crucial intelligence on the locations of atomic plants and laboratories and uranium deposits; useful information on structural weaknesses in the Soviet system of scientific and economic management; expert (if out-of-date) assessments of the quality of Soviet accomplishments in atomic science, electronics and other fields; and well-informed indications as to possible lines of development in guided missile and aircraft design. One Soviet scientific defector in Germany provided similar information which influenced British perceptions of the Soviet Union's scientific potential and missile development plans. Refugees entering the British Zone from East Germany, intercepted letters and monitored telecommunications, informal contacts and, of course, secret agents all made significant contributions to the gathering of scientific and technical intelligence in Germany too. The British passed to the Americans much of the intelligence they acquired in Germany and the installations identified and located by German sources were overtlown by spyplanes in the 1950s and particularly by U-2s in the latter half of-the decade. Priceless information was obtained, which establi shed that the USSR's war-related scientific research and development and its actual military capability were both inferior to those of the West. Thus the Germans enabled Soviet security to be deeply penetrated and helped to stabilize the Cold War. They are the missing link between Ultra and the U-2.

Abstract:

My original contribution to knowledge is the assessment of two ballistics analysis systems using the same bullets and cartridge cases to assess interoperability potential. The results are discussed in the context of policing issues representing a multidisciplinary approach to combating gun crime. Microscopic comparison of bullets and cartridge cases allows inferences to be made that objects bear marks from the same weapon. Parts of this process have been automated. Digital images of objects are stored in a database and correlations undertaken to find potential matches. An expert will decide on the most probable match based upon a range of potential candidates. All evidence should be utilised to the fullest extent, including data from ballistics systems. The success rate of the most widely used system has been quoted at between 50% and 95% suggesting that links to other crimes remain undiscovered. There are different ballistics systems available but research has only been conducted on one. There is no interoperability between systems. Data cannot be shared between different systems. An essential pre-requisite to any work on interoperability, is an understanding of the different systems and the data produced. The research aims were to design a methodology to enable the assessment of systems and to produce ammunition that can be used repeatedly as required. The aim was to conduct an experiment with two of the currently available systems. The results show variance between systems and their accuracy needs improvement. An error rate has been defined and applied to each system. The results suggest that complete interoperability of systems will only be possible with the full cooperation of the manufacturers. A limited form of interoperability focussing on data sharing may be possible. The results have implications for experts using the systems and suggest that a matching standard should be developed to make forensic ballistics analysis an objective discipline.

Abstract:

La science ouverte est devenue une priorité politique en France depuis 2018, englobant diverses pratiques qui ont été largement explorées au sein de la communauté académique. Cependant, son application dans des domaines sensibles à la recherche et développement reste insuffisamment investiguée. La bioéconomie constitue un terrain particulièrement propice à cette réflexion dans un contexte à la fois pluridisciplinaire et plurisectoriel. Vaste et émergente, elle implique, sur les territoires, une diversité de parties prenantes issues de la recherche, de l'industrie et du secteur agricole. La région Hauts-de-France, fortement engagée, aspire à devenir un leader dans ce secteur d'ici 2025. Dans ce contexte, comment les parties prenantes de la bioéconomie s'organisent-elles dans la production, la communication et la valorisation de leurs actions en recherche et développement ? Cette recherche s'interroge sur l'articulation des principes de la science ouverte avec une stratégie régionale de recherche et développement en bioéconomie. Notre approche intègre les sciences de l'information et du document et les sciences de la communication pour analyser les pratiques et les dispositifs liés à la science ouverte dans ce domaine. Les méthodes employées incluent des entretiens ainsi que des techniques scientométriques pour évaluer le libre accès aux publications et l'évolution des pratiques et dispositifs déployés dans les projets de recherche en bioéconomie. Les résultats révèlent de vives dynamiques de recherche en Hauts-de-France. Cependant, ces dynamiques entraînent des disparités et des défis concernant l'ouverture des résultats de la recherche. Elles font l'objet de stratégies de régulation qui altèrent la mise en œuvre des principes de la science ouverte. Ces résultats ouvrent des perspectives sur la médiation scientifique et la recherche participative, des dimensions désormais intégrées au paradigme de la science ouverte<br>Since 2018, Open Science has become a political priority in France, including different practices that are widely explored by the academic community. However, its application in sensitive research and development areas remains insufficiently investigated. The bioeconomy provides a particularly conducive environment for this reflection, situated at the intersection of multidisciplinary and multisectoral contexts. Vast and emerging, it involves a diverse array of stakeholders from research, industry, and the agricultural sector at the regional level. The Hauts-de-France region, deeply committed to this endeavour, aspires to become a leader in this sector by 2025. In this context, how do the stakeholders in the bioeconomy organise themselves in the production, communication, and valorisation of their research and development actions? This research examines the integration of Open Science principles within a regional research and development strategy in the bioeconomy. Our approach integrates information and documentation sciences and communication sciences for the practices and systems associated with Open Science through the field of the bioeconomy. The scientific methods employed include interviews and scientometric studies to assess open access to publications as well as the evolution of practices and information systems used in bioeconomy research projects. Furthermore, we analyse the interactions between project partners and their organisation in the dissemination of knowledge. The results reveal dynamic research activities in Hauts-de-France between public and private stakeholders and across scientific areas. However, these interactions lead to disparities and challenges concerning the openness of research outcomes. They are subject to regulatory strategies that alter the implementation of Open Science principles. These findings open up new perspectives on scientific mediation and participatory research, dimensions now integrated into the Open Science paradigm
