Ever since the links between the development of new technologies and economic growth became evident, researchers have attempted to study how the creation of knowledge fosters progress. If pushing the frontier of knowledge has an impact on progress and well ...
Background While specialization plays an essential role in how scientific research is pursued, we understand little about its effects on a researcher's impact and career. In particular, the extent to which one specializes within their chosen fields likely ...
In avalanche engineering and hazard mapping, computing impact pressures exerted by avalanches on rigid structures has long been a difficult task that requires combining empirical equations, rules of thumb, engineering judgment and experience. Until the 199 ...
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has been accepted as an extremely important approach to understanding the multi-domain research field comprehensively. In this paper, a bibliometric analysis is used to conduct a comprehensive survey of model-based sy ...
The Saddle Dam D at the Hydroelectric Power project Xe-Pian Xe-Namnoy in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic failed on July 23, 2018. An Independent Expert Panel (IEP) was established to investigate into and report on the failure of the embankment dam. Th ...
Many studies rely on patent citations to measure intellectual heritage and impact. In this article, we show that the nature of patent citations has changed dramatically in recent years. Today, a small minority of patent applications are generating a large ...
We report characteristics of in-text citations in over five million full text articles from two large databases – the PubMed Central Open Access subset and Elsevier journals – as functions of time, textual progression, and scientific field. The purpose of ...
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is considered an important approach for understanding multidomain fields and is widely used in complex systems such as aerospace. In this article, a detailed survey of MBSE literature was conducted from its commenceme ...
In this study, the combination of dimensional analysis (DA) and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to predict the volumetric mass transfer coefficient (k(L)a) values under different operating conditions for orbitally shaken bioreactors (OSRs) with diffe ...
