A citation study of the 692 staff that makes up unit of assessment 58 (archaeology), in the 2001 UK Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) was undertaken. Unlike earlier studies, which were obliged to make assumptions on who and what had been submitted for assessment, these were, for the ®rst time available from the RAE Web site. This study, therefore, used the speci®c submission details of authors...

Introduction Invasive alien species can have devastating consequences on native biodiversity, ecosystem and evolutionary processes (Lovett et al. 2006, McNeely 2001, Mooney and Cleland 2001). In the United States alone, economic costs associated with environmental damages and losses as a result of invasive species have been estimated to total between $120-137 billion per year (Pimentel et al. 2...

EMERALD is a project funded by the European Commission under the FP7 program focusing on energy use optimization on the integration of the electric vehicles into the transport and energy infrastructure. Between the objectives of EMERALD, enhanced power demand prediction and power flow support management system uses the power flow demand simulation platform considered in this paper. The power fl...

Figure 9.1 Growth of proteomics. Using the search parameter “proteom*” the NCBI database was queried for citations. The number of citations in each year plotted against the year shows the tremendous increase in research and interest in the proteomics field. Figure 9.2 2-D protein gels of tumor vs. normal cells stained for glycoproteins and total proteins. Lysates from rat liver tumor cells (top...
