Positive Effect

Previous studies have demonstrated that accessing external knowledge is important for organizations’ knowledge generation. The main purpose of this study is to investigate how the diversity and amount of organizations’ external scientific knowledge influence their scientific knowledge generation. We also consider the moderating effect of the redundant industrial scientific knowledge and the amount of technical knowledge from external technical cooperators. The social network analysis method is used to establish both ego- and industrial-scientific cooperation network, and ego-technical cooperation network in order to analyze the external scientific knowledge and technical knowledge. The empirical analysis is based on patent and article data of 106 organizations in the biomass energy industry (including firms, universities and research institutes), and the results show that organizations’ structural holes and degree centrality of scientific cooperation network have positive effects on their scientific knowledge generation. In addition, organizations’ degree centrality of technical cooperation network positively moderates the relationship between their degree centrality of scientific cooperation network and scientific knowledge generation. Furthermore, density of industrial scientific cooperation network decreases the positive effect of organizations’ structural holes on their scientific knowledge generation, while it strengthens the positive effect of degree centrality of scientific cooperation network on their scientific knowledge generation. Academic contributions and practical suggestions are discussed.

Abstract In this paper, we analyzed the co-authorship network between all CNPq’s productivity research fellows in the Probability and Statistics area in Brazil. Our aim was to describe and to understand how network measures influence researchers’ productivity. The data was gathered from the CNPq’s Lattes Platform using the software scriptLattes, and a link between two fellows represents the fact that they wrote an article together from 2009 to 2013. The network is disconnected and has only 4.7% of its possible connections. Through a regression analysis, we were able to infer that the centrality positions of an author matters to his/her productivity. As expected, closeness centrality had a negative effect on fellows’ productivity, while the degree centrality had a positive effect.

Better Than

Link prediction in social networks has become a growing concern among researchers. In this paper, the clustering method was used to exploit the grouping tendency of nodes, and a clustering index (CI) was proposed to predict potential links with characteristics of scientific cooperation network taken into consideration. Results showed that CI performed better than the traditional indices for scientific coauthorship networks by compensating for their disadvantages. Compared with traditional algorithms, this method for a specific type of network can better reflect the features of the network and achieve more accurate predictions.

Drawing on theories of social network and knowledge absorption, this paper examines the direct influence of returnee faculty members (RFMs) over college research performance (CRP) from three aspects, namely, the intensity of cooperative relationship (ICR), research influence (RI), and acquisition capability of heterogeneous knowledge (ACHK). In addition, the authors tested the regulating effect of ICR. The results show that RI of RFMs has a significant positive effect on CRP, ACHK has no significant effect on CRP, and ICR has a significant negative effect and a major regulating effect on CRP.

Central Factors

The subject of the politics of knowledge is not uniformly understood by both scholars and practitioners. Much work in this regard is based on Northern angled perspectives, which are deficient in abilities to capture the essence of African reality. On the basis of qualitative materials and interdisciplinary discourse analysis, this article’s focus is on the politicisation of university administration in South Africa. Taking cue from my previous works on this subject, I have identified and discussed additional three central factors which impair scientific knowledge generation and development in South Africa and Africa as a whole. Among others, these factors include bureaucratisation of academic administration, academic jealousy and gangsterism and shortage of academic role models. Theoretically and in order to foster epistemic justice, this study has drawn from Afrocentricity as an alternative contextual lens to paint a qualitatively rich picture of the phenomena under study.

The objective of the paper is the compilation, review and dissemination of updated scientific knowledge on lime theory and technology in the field of heritage conservation.The strong evidence of the last decade’s research on the positive effect of the-not demonstrable by a chemical equation-‘key’ missing link of the maturation process is highlighted. It is demonstrated that the exceptional performance characteristics of durable lime based mortars predominately rely on the capacity for rapid, efficient and extensive carbona-tion of the air-hardening phase of limes, in particular when matured (nanoparticle wet slaked) lime putties are used; and on the chemical and mechanical stability of the strength components (principally CSHs) of the hydraulic phase of limes, which is higher in their more crystalline forms of historical lime-pozzolan mixtures than in their amorphous forms of modern cements. Hence, physicochemical adhesion and cohesion bonds both at the lime matrix and at the binder/aggregate interfaces are ensured imparting minimization of cracks and durability to lime based mortars and historic masonries.The comprehensive documentation of the former leads to optimal materials and procedures to preserve our cultural heritage. Resumo O objectivo do presente artigo é a compilação, revisão e disseminação do actual conhecimento científico sobre teoria e tecnologia da cal no campo da conservação do património. Com base na investigação da última década, são destacados os fortes indícios do efeito positivo-não demonstrável por equação química-do elo perdido ‘chave’, o processo de maturação. É demonstrado que as excepcionais características de desempenho das argamassas à base de cal mais duráveis dependem predominantemente das suas capacidades para uma rápida, eficiente e extensa carbonatação da fase de presa aérea da cal, em particular quando é usada cal em pasta com maior tempo de maturação (extinção húmida ao nível das nanopartículas); e da estabilidade química e mecânica dos com-ponentes de resistência (principalmente silicatos de cálcio hidratados (CSHs)) da fase hidráulica da cal, que é mais elevada nas for-mas mais cristalinas das misturas históricas de cal e pozolana do que nas formas amorfas dos cimentos modernos. Deste modo são asseguradas as ligações fisico-químicas por adesão e por coesão, quer na matriz de cal, quer nas interfaces ligante/agregado, conferindo minimização de fissuras e durabilidade a argamassas à base de cal e alvenarias históricas. Uma abrangente documentação destes proces-sos permitirá a obtenção de materiais e procedimentos progressivamente mais adequados à preservação do nosso património cultural.
