A Grand Experiment in Shovel-Ready Science
نویسنده
چکیده
The 2009 stimulus package released a burst of pent-up creativity in the applications submitted by US researchers, but there was a complicating factor with funding decisions: the need for quick results. Quinn Eastman provides a progress report.

Shovel-ready science: Moses applies for a GO grant.
Thank you for making Dr. Moses’ proposal available for public discussion [see Gerald Weissmann (2009) Shovel-Ready Science: Moses Applies for a GO Grant. FASEB J. 23: 2337–2340]. After reading this proposal, I am deeply concerned over his failure to acknowledge any of the research done by my team. Our work is based extensively on that of Dr. Moses’ important early studies, and we have achieved ...
متن کاملDaxing with a Dax: Evidence of Productive Lexical Structures in Children
In English, many words can be used flexibly to label artifacts, as nouns, or functional uses of those artifacts, as verbs: We can shovel snow with a shovel and comb our hair with a comb. Here, we examine whether young children form generalizations about flexibility from early in life and use such generalizations to predict new word meanings. When children learn a new word for an artifact, do th...
متن کاملModeling and Optimization of Truck-Shovel Allocation to Mining Faces in Cement Quarry
Truck and shovel are the most common raw material transportation system used in the cement quarry operations. One of the major challenges associated with the cement quarry operations is the efficient allocation of truck and shovel to the mining faces. In order to minimize the truck and shovel operating cost, subject to quantity and quality constraints, the mixed integer linear programing (MILP)...
متن کاملProject Title : REDUCING ENERGY CONSUMPTION & CARBON FOOTPRINT THROUGH IMPROVED PRODUCTION PRACTICES
The US coal mining industry consumes approximately 142 billion kWh per year of energy. The US Department of Energy estimates that the industry‟s annual energy consumption can be reduced by 49% (24.6 billion kWh/year by using currently available best practices and a further 44.8 billion kWh/year with more research). This constitutes nearly $3.7 billion of potential savings on coal production cos...
متن کاملA Shovel With a Perforated Blade Reduces Energy Expenditure Required for Digging Wet Clay
OBJECTIVE A shovel with a blade perforated with small holes was tested to see whether a worker would use less whole-body energy to dig wet clay than with a shovel with an opaque blade. BACKGROUND A perforated shovel is hypothesized to require less whole-body energy on the basis of adhesion theory; a smaller surface area would require less physical effort to dig and release soil from the blade...
