Scientizing Science Policy: Implications for Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy and R&D Evaluation

In this dissertation research, I try to deepen the understanding of the logic and history behind the science of science policy approaches and to substitute for this scientific evidence-based science policy model an evidence-critical and -informed model in which scientific and democratic claims are promoted simultaneously. The science of science policy, or what I call the scientizing science pol...

Public Value Mapping and Science Policy Evaluation

Here we present the framework of a new approach to assessing the capacity of research programs to achieve social goals. Research evaluation has made great strides in addressing questions of scientific and economic impacts. It has largely avoided, however, a more important challenge: assessing (prospectively or retrospectively) the impacts of a given research endeavor on the non-scientific, none...

channel estimation for mimo-ofdm systems

تخمین دقیق مشخصات کانال در سیستم های مخابراتی یک امر مهم محسوب می گردد. این امر به ویژه در کانال های بیسیم با ‏خاصیت فرکانس گزینی و زمان گزینی شدید، چالش بزرگی است. مقالات متعدد پر از روش های مبتکرانه ای برای طراحی و آنالیز ‏الگوریتم های تخمین کانال است که بیشتر آنها از روش های خاصی استفاده می کنند که یا دارای عملکرد خوب با پیچیدگی ‏محاسباتی بالا هستند و یا با عملکرد نه چندان خوب پیچیدگی پایینی...

Electronic nicotine delivery systems: emerging science foundation for policy.

Since they were first marketed in China in 2004, electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) have spread globally like wildfire. Their proponents, who refer to the products as “electronic cigarettes” or “E-cigs”, argue that by delivering nicotine to the lung, they are more effective and acceptable than nicotine replacement medicines, and should be readily available as cigarette substitutes. An ...
