We examine the distribution of Federal support for chemistry Research and Development (R&D) performed at U.S. universities from 1990-2009. Federal R&D funding is an essential source of funds for investigator-driven research at the nation's universities. Previous studies have documented that...

We test how a reduction in travel cost affects the rate and direction of scientific research. Using a fine-grained, scientist-level dataset within chemistry (1991-2012), we find that after Southwest Airlines enters a new route, scientific collaboration increases by 50%, an effect that is...

"This book examines the strengths and future potential of micro-scale technologies in a variety of industries, highlighting the benefits, shortcomings, and emerging perspectives in the application of nano-scale technologies"--Provided by publisher.

Sir Francis Bacon explored as a medical question the issue of how human life spans might be returned to the near-thousand years enjoyed by Adam and the Patriarchs. Extended old age seemed feasible: reports told of people living well into their centenary. Meanwhile, New World natives were said to...

Die Rolle der Hochschulen im Innovationssystem sowohl der BRD als auch der DDR hat sich in den letzten fünfzig Jahren zum Teil dramatisch geändert. Der Veränderungsprozess in der Bundesrepublik lässt sich grob in drei Phasen einteilen, die sich zwar überlappen, dennoch im wesentlichen eine...

The European Union played a pivotal role in the launch of the Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM), which was developed and negotiated with the participation of a wide range of stakeholders from more than 140 countries. It was adopted by the United Nations Environment...

Abstract: Chemie ist für die Bewältigung unserer Zukunftsprobleme unverzichtbar; ohne chemische Forschung und Entwicklung sind Ressourcen-, Umwelt- und Klimaschutz oder Ernährung und Gesundheit einer wachsenden Weltbevölkerung ebenso wenig erreichbar wie Standortsicherung von Unternehmen und...

This report reviews the state and application of substance flow analysis (SFA) methodology in selected European Environment Agency (EEA) member countries. The objective is to explore if and how the existing practices could serve as a methodological framework for a macro-level, Europe-wide...

The need for setting up a multi-purpose European chemicals information system that can be used as a tool in support of the current legislation of chemical substances within the EU has been expressed by various stakeholders within the EU. A database on monitoring activities in Europe is one of...

The purpose of this feasibility study is to develop a toolbox of available methodologies and a work plan for applying relevant models to substances reported under the European Pollution Emission Register (EPER) in order to predict the composition and distribution of these chemicals in the...
