Resource sharing has become an absolute necessity for modern scientific research because of the increasing expense and complexity of instruments, and the ever changing funding paradigm which often requires sharing of major instrumentation resource across multiple disciplines. Many universities and even large companies have set up centralized facilities to serve researchers from different departments, divisions and units to minimize expenses and maximizing usage.Just in the materials research area alone, it is estimated that there are more than 500 mid-size facilities existing nationwide, as reported in 2005 by the Committee on Smaller Facilities of National Research Council. Resource sharing is also common in large research groups, between Principal Investigators, as well as in corporate/industrial laboratories.

AbstractGender equality and Open Access (OA) are priorities within the European Research Area and cross-cutting issues in European research program H2020. Gender and openness are also key elements of responsible research and innovation. However, despite the common underlying targets of fostering an inclusive, transparent and sustainable research environment, both issues are analysed as independent topics. This paper represents a first exploration of the inter-linkages between gender and OA analysing the scientific production of researchers of the Italian National Research Council under a gender perspective integrated with the different OA publications modes. A bibliometric analysis was carried out for articles published in the period 2016–2018 and retrieved from the Web of Science. Results are presented constantly analysing CNR scientific production in relation to gender, disciplinary fields and OA publication modes. These variables are also used when analysing articles that receive financial support. Our results indicate that gender disparities in scientific production still persist particularly in STEM disciplines, while the gender gap is the closest to parity in medical and agricultural sciences. A positive dynamic toward OA publishing and women’s scientific production is shown when disciplines with well-established open practices are related to articles supported by funds. A slightly higher women’s propensity toward OA is shown when considering Gold OA, or authorships with women in the first and last article by-line position. The prevalence of Italian funded articles with women’s contributions published in Gold OA journals seems to confirm this tendency, especially if considering the weak enforcement of the Italian OA policies.

Objetivo: identificar o perfil e a produção científica dos bolsistas de produtividade em pesquisa do Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa (CNPq) da área da Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde (RMS) no triênio 2013-2015. Metodologia: estudo descritivo e quantitativo. A pesquisa foi realizada no mês de setembro de 2017, utilizou-se formulário estruturado para coleta de dados a partir do currículo Lattes. Resultados: foram identificados 23 bolsistas, 91,5% do sexo feminino, 78,2% da categoria 2 e 43,5% da área da Enfermagem. Dentre o total de periódicos publicados 8 foram sobre a RMS com predominância de Qualis B1 e B4. Quanto às orientações sobre a RMS 23 foram realizadas no último triênio. Conclusão: é necessário estimular pesquisas sobre à RMS objetivando o conhecimento e valorização dessa modalidade educativa, bem como estimular a sua importância nos serviços de saúde. Estudos dessa natureza são necessários para nortear novas pesquisas.Descritores: Academias e Institutos; Internato não Médico; Pesquisa Científica e Desenvolvimento Tecnológico.PROFILE OF THE PRODUCTIVITY SCOLARSHIPS OF THE MULTIPROFESSIONAL HEALTH RESIDENCY PROGRAM IN THE TRIENNIUM 2013-2015Objective: to identify the profile and scientific production of research productivity fellows from the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq) of the Multiprofessional Health Residence (RMS) in the triennium 2013-2015. Methodology: descriptive and quantitative study. The research was conducted in September 2017, using a structured form for data collection from the Lattes curriculum. Results: 23 scholarship recipients were identified, 91.5% female, 78.2% from category 2 and 43.5% from the Nursing area. Among the total of published journals, 8 were on RMS with a predominance of Qualis B1 and B4. About the orientations about RMS, 23 were conducted in the last three years. Conclusion: it is necessary to stimulate research on RMS aiming at the knowledge and valuation of this educational modality, as well as stimulating its importance in health services. Studies of this nature are needed to guide new research.Descriptors: Academies and Institutes; Internship not Medical; Scientific Research and Technological DevelopmentPERFIL DE LOS BOLSISTAS DE PRODUCTIVIDAD DEL PROGRAMA DE RESIDENCIA MULTIPROFESIONAL EN SALUD EN EL TRIENIO 2013-2015Objetivo: identificar el perfil y la producción científica de los becarios de productividad en investigación del Consejo Nacional de Investigación (CNPq) del área de la Residencia Multiprofesional en Salud (RMS) en el trienio 2013-2015.

This report contains the results from one of the three stations set up by the National Research Council of Canada to take observations on radio reflections from the ionized layers in the upper atmosphere during the total solar eclipse of August 31, 1932. The station concerned was located at Kingston, Ontario, and was approximately under the centre of totality for the upper or Appleton layer. Hence observations at this station were limited to the upper layer. The results from the other two stations at Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and at Vankleek Hill, Ontario, are reported in the paper immediately preceding (8).The method was that developed by Breit and Tuve, in which a short pulse is transmitted, the reflection being received and its time delay recorded by means of a cathode ray oscillograph.The results indicate that the ionization of the upper layer is caused by radiation (presumably ultra-violet light) from the sun. Whether or not this is the sole cause is uncertain because of the time lag in recombination of ions in the layer. A reduction in ionization of over 30% was noted.A magnetic storm which occurred a few days before the eclipse made the results more difficult to interpret but gave some information of the effect of such a storm on the upper layer. It appeared to cause considerable instability in the layer and a somewhat lower ion content.

The Cardano edition from the Consiglio nazionale delle ricerche has been a wasted opportunity. It shows the lack of an accurate systematic approach that led to the Cardano Project ending in fialure. The project had been fostered by the “National research council Center for the study of philosophical thought in the 16th and 17th centuries in relation to scientific questions”, set up by Mario Dal Pra. The aim had been for it to prepare a critical edition of the works of the doctor, mathematician, astrologist and philosopher Girolamo Cardano (Pavia 1501-Rome 1576).

The proposed Agricultural Research Council (ARC 1984) protein evaluation system for ruminants provides lower nitrogen allowances than any other. (National Research Council 1985; Alderman 1987). A U.K. Interdepartmental Working Party (IDWP) was set up to consider the ARC (1980) proposals and recommend a practical protein evaluation system for ruminants for use by the advisory services. Its provisional proposals have been reported by Webster (1987). This trial was set up to provide a practical evaluation of the two systems in a commercial dairy herd.Animals. Thirty-three Friesian cows (mean livewewight 590kg, mean previous milk yield 6120 kg), in early lactation were blocked according to (a) previous treatment, (b) number of previous lactations and (c) previous milk yield. The cows were randomly allocated within blocks to one of three dietary treatments.Treatments. Dietary nitrogen allowances were calculated, according to (1) ARC(1984) and (2) IDWP (Webster, 1987) except that the ARC (1984) concept of essential amino acid nitrogen was included in the IDWP calculations. The difference in nitrogen allowances between the two systems was so great as to warrant a third intermediate treatment (INT), calculated to provide allowances mid-way between the other two.
