Бароосмотичний аналіз як новий метод гідрогеологічних досліджень
Запропоновано методику бароосмотичного аналiзу гiдрогеологiчних даних для окремих свердловин, за якою визначаються величина бароосмотичного напору H2O у пластових (порових) водах i ступiнь вiдхилення їх вiд стану бароосмотичної рiвноваги на кiлькох водоносних горизонтах. Результати аналiзу для чотирьох свердловин з рiзних регiонiв пiдтвердили iснування вертикальних бароосмотичних потокiв у глинистих товщах усiх розрiзiв i дали змогу визначити напрями цих потокiв та виявити зони впливу особливих локальних гiдрогеологiчних процесiв.Methods of baroosmotic analysis of hydrogeological data for separate boreholes have been proposed. They can be applied to determine the baroosmotic pressure of H2O in formational (porous) waters and the degree of their defection from the state of baroosmotic balance at several water-bearing horizons. The results of analysis conducted at 4 boreholes from different regions have confirmed the existence of vertical baroosmotic flows in clayey units of all sections and have allowed us to determine the directions of these flows and to reveal the zones affected by specific local hydrogeological processes
Knowledge production and communication in the information society : mapping communications in heterogeneous research networks
Interdisciplinarity in Biotechnology, Genomics and Nanotechnology
In this paper we study developments in biotechnology, genomics and nanotechnology in the
period 1998–2008. The fields show changing interdisciplinary characteristics in relation to
distinct co-evolutionary dynamics in research, science and society. Biotechnology emerged as a
discipline in publication patterns at the same time as the number of biotechnology departments
increased, whereas genomics emerged as a stable discipline, while the number of genomics
departments declined. Nanotechnology maintains an interdisciplinary journal citation pattern
while the number of nanotechnology departments increased. In all three fields the importance
of industry–university collaborations increased, albeit to different degrees. Patterns of interdisciplinarity
can thus be distinguished, as different ways in which the three dynamics co-evolve. From
a governance perspective, this conceptualization provides distinct rationales for policy interventions
in relation to interdisciplinarity in research, science and society

Na de investeringen nu de verdere ontwikkeling van e-science
Onder invloed van ICT is de wetenschap momenteel snel
en fundamenteel aan het veranderen. Voor de overheid
is het zoeken hoe die ontwikkeling, kortweg aangeduid als
e-science, zou moeten worden begeleid en ondersteund.
Daarom bereidt de AWT momenteel een advies over dit
onderwerp voor, aangestuurd door raadslid Pieter Adriaans,
directeur van het Instituut voor Informatica van de
Universiteit van Amsterdam, en Gaston Heimeriks,
docent/onderzoeker bij Innovation Studies aan de
Universiteit Utrecht en oud-AWT-raadsmedewerker
The path- and place-dependent nature of scientific knowledge production in biotech 1986-2008
This study explores the worldwide spatial evolution of scientific knowledge production in
biotechnology in the period 1986–2008. We employ new methodology that identifies
new key topics in biotech on the basis of frequent use of title worlds in major biotech
journals as an indication of new cognitive developments within this scientific field. Our
analyses show that biotech is subject to a path- and place-dependent process of
knowledge production. We observed a high degree of re-occurrences of similar key
topics in biotech in consecutive years. Furthermore, slow growth cities in biotech are
characterized by topics that are less technologically related to other topics, while high
growth cities in biotech contribute to topics that are more related to the entire set of
existing topics. Slow growth and stable growth cities in biotech introduced more new
topics, while fast growth cities in biotech introduced more promising topics. Slow
growth cities also showed low levels of research collaboration, as compared with stable
and high growth cities
E-Science : de wetenschap in de 21ste eeuw
Wie het veld van wetenschapsbeoefening in het eerste decennium van de 21ste
eeuw overziet, moet concluderen dat de uitdagingen waar we voor staan niet kleiner
zijn geworden. Op veel gebieden zijn wetenschappers aangelopen tegen problemen
van een tot dusverre ongekende omvang en complexiteit. Voorbeelden zijn: de
studie van het klimaat, de menselijke cognitie, de cel, de elementaire structuur van
de materie, de taal, sociale netwerken. Bij het bestuderen van dergelijke complexe
fenomenen lopen traditionele empirische methoden spaak. Het inzetten van computer-
en databasetechnologie voor het bewerken en interpreteren van de data is
onontbeerlijk. Het ligt daarom voor de hand dat er binnen de informatica een discipline
ontstaat die zich speciaal richt op de ondersteuning van wetenschappelijk
onderzoek: e-science
