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...

In recent decades, porous asphalt has been extended for surface drainage in various regions throughout the world. The permeability of porous asphalt has an important role in the performance of asphalt pavements in the rainy weather. The most remarkable problem related to the porous asphalt is its short service time. Considerable efforts have been made to enhance the mechanical properties of por...

In this paper we study the efficiency of Strong Stability Preserving (SSP) Runge–Kutta methods that can be implemented with a low number registers using their Shu–Osher representation. SSP have been studied in literature and stepsize restrictions ensure numerical monotonicity found. However, for some problems, observed are larger than theoretical ones. Aiming at obtaining additional properties ...

While numerous studies on the impacts of COVID-19 university learning and teaching are now emerging, there has been less critical attention focused impact shift to online engagement student-staff partnership (SSP) practices. This article analyses experiences perceptions students staff from an Australian as they shifted their practices during pandemic. It provides valuable insights into specific...

The protein kinase (PK) superfamily is one of the largest superfamilies in plants and core regulator cellular signaling. Despite this substantial importance, kinomes sugarcane sorghum have not been profiled. Here, we identified profiled complete polyploid Saccharum spontaneum (Ssp) Sorghum bicolor (Sbi), a close diploid relative. Sbi kinome was composed 1,210 PKs; for Ssp, 2,919 PKs when disreg...

background: pulmonary tuberculosis (ptb) has recently become a major problem in developed countries especially in immune compromised hiv infected individuals. cytokines, their genes and receptors have been implicated in the protective immunity, pathophysiology and development of tuberculosis.   material & methods: in the present study the genotype frequencies of a number of polymorphic genes co...

The current study replicated an enhanced stimulus-stimulus pairing (SSP) procedure used by Esch et al. (Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis 42: 42-225, 2009) for increasing vocalizations in children with autism. The enhanced SSP procedure consisted of pairing target vocalizations with high-preference items, interspersed target and nontarget trials, an observing response, and the presentation o...

Stellar population parameters (e.g. age, metallicity, and stellar abundance ratios) derived from spectral line-strengths provide a powerful probe of galaxy properties and formation histories. We implement the machinery for extracting line-strengths and ‘single-stellar-populationequivalent’ (SSP-equivalent) stellar population parameters from synthetic spectra generated by a hierarchical galaxy f...

This article is a retrospective of concepts and people who have contributed significantly to the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy over the past 30 years. • We identify many individuals who have contributed to SSP as program chairs, general chairs, and heads of the overseeing IEEE technical committee. • We recognize SSP participants who have provided significant leadership in creating and ...
