The modernity of Dedekind’s anticipations contained in What are numbers and what are they good for?

Archive for History of Exact Sciences - We show that Dedekind, in his proof of the principle of definition by mathematical recursion, used implicitly both the concept of an inductive cone from an...     

Long-term increases in clutch size in common snapping turtles (Chelydra serpentina) and diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin)

Clutch size (CS) is a well-studied life history characteristic, and optimal egg size theory predicts that CS should correlate positively with reproductive investment. Turtles are good subjects for studies of reproductive strategies because few turtle species exhibit parental care; therefore quantifying their short-term reproductive investment is mostly limited to measuring egg size and number. Clutch size is usually reported as an average value for each turtle population, and where CS variation is noted, it is usually attributable to variation in adult body size. In two long-term studies of ecologically dissimilar species we detected a dramatic increase in CS in a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) population and in a diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin) population. It is unknown whether these changes are due to either variation in adult body size or resource availability; but the temporal patterns we observed have apparently never been reported previously. These trends remain unexplained and should be explored further.     

工程弹性系统与系统弹性理论研究综述

工程弹性系统(engineered resilient system,ERS)是美国国防部(department of defense,DOD)应对越来越不确定的任务和环境而提出的未来国防系统发展战略,对复杂系统的工程实践与系统弹性理论都带来新的挑战。首先,对ERS提出的背景和相关概念进行介绍,重点对美国国防领域对ERS的一些观点进行分析,包括ERS的关键属性、弹性工程与现役系统关系、ERS设计中考虑的因素和ERS与系统工程的关系等,并对美国DOD优先立项的ERS项目研究进展进行了的研究。其次,对弹性相关的学术研究进行了述评,包括不同领域中弹性的概念、系统弹性不同的评价方法以及系统弹性设计方法,以便于对ERS的发展有一个较为全面的了解和借鉴。最后,在ERS发展研究基础上,从理论和应用角度对ERS和系统弹性理论面临的挑战进行了讨论。     

“零被引专利”就没有价值吗?——“零被引专利”在科学论文中的应用分析

 分析前人对零被引的研究成果发现，"零被引"的定义可能存在一定的局限，即只考察同类数据库中的引用情况。分析CSTPCD 2009-2012年的科技论文与引文发现，期刊论文引用了大量的技术专利。存在专利数据库中的"零被引专利"在科技论文中却有较高的引用次数。以其中1件"零被引专利"CN 01134280.3为例，从技术内容解读、10篇施引文献及其内容分析，展示了该项技术发明影响的研究主题，并通过文献调研解析了该项研究成果的工业化应用。基于钱学森的"基础科学-技术科学-工程科学"理论，探讨了使用较高科技论文引用次数的"零被引专利"及较高专利引用次数的"零被引论文"定量分析技术科学的可能性。
