Ecology of the Ráckeve-Sorokság Danube – a review

Present paper is a review on the Ráckeve-Soroksár Danube in ecological standpoint. The goal of this study is to collect and evaluate all of available publications in that conception, concerning this Danube arm. Phytoplankton, zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, vertebrates, macrophytes and also water chemistry, water management, geographical description are presented. The review comprises the main studies beginning with the earliest faunistic publications up to the recent ecological, multidisciplinary investigations. Spatial and temporal patterns likewise water quality are considered as important. Additionally checklist of aquatic invertebrate and vertebrate fauna are given based on data from literature

Creating a Chemistry of Sciences with Big Data

The Data Science Institute at Imperial College London launched in April 2014, and will provide a hub for data-driven research and education. Its mission is to provide a focal point for the College's capabilities in multidisciplinary data-driven research by coordinating advanced data science research for college scientists and partners, and educating the next generation of data scientists. We surveyed the data-driven research needs at Imperial College London to gain an understanding across all disciplines offered by the College, and analysed the responses to gain insights into scientific and engineering needs for data science research. A clear message is that multidisciplinarity is essential for Big Data and data science research to enable a "chemistry of sciences": connecting all disciplines by integrating data. This paper presents our efforts to best understand datadriven research needs in a highly multidisciplinary researchintensive institution and describes our vision for the future of the Data Science Institute at Imperial College London. © Copyright 2014 ACM

Multidisciplinary research in space sciences and engineering with emphasis on theoretical chemistry

A broad program is reported of research in theoretical chemistry, particularly in molecular quantum and statistical mechanics, directed toward determination of the physical and chemical properties of materials, relation of these macroscopic properties to properties of individual molecules, and determination of the structure and properties of the individual molecules. Abstracts are presented for each research project conducted during the course of the program

Spurious Modes in Dirac Calculations and How to Avoid Them

In this paper we consider the problem of the occurrence of spurious modes when computing the eigenvalues of Dirac operators, with the motivation to describe relativistic electrons in an atom or a molecule. We present recent mathematical results which we illustrate by simple numerical experiments. We also discuss open problems.Comment: Chapter to be published in the book "Many-Electron Approaches in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics: A Multidisciplinary View", edited by Volker Bach and Luigi Delle Sit

The effect of multidisciplinary collaborations on research diversification

This work verifies whether research diversification by a scientist is in some measure related to their collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. The analysis considers the publications achieved by 5300 Italian academics in the sciences over the period 2004-2008. The findings show that a scientist's outputs resulting from research diversification are more often than not the result of collaborations with multidisciplinary teams. The effect becomes more pronounced with larger and particularly with more diversified teams. This phenomenon is observed both at the overall level and for the disciplinary macro-areas
