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).

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.

RADIO OBSERVATIONS ON THE UPPER IONIZED LAYER OF THE ATMOSPHERE AT THE TIME OF THE TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE OF AUGUST 31, 1932

Set Up

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.

Set Up

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.

This paper contributes to the open innovation literature by presenting a successful application of the open innovation approach in the maritime sector between Fincantieri (FC), one of the world’s largest shipbuilding groups, and the National Research Council of Italy (CNR, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), the largest research entity in Italy. By using external sources of scientific innovation, specifically 10 different groups of researchers from CNR research institutes and three universities, and by integrating these groups with a team of expert Fincantieri’s designers, the company obtained significant advances in terms of technological content and competitiveness. This collaboration is an evident example of successful implementation of the open innovation paradigm, where a big company (Fincantieri) uses external sources of innovation (the CNR researchers) to advance its technology by carrying out six different projects simultaneously. The paper presents the adopted open innovation model, the governance approach specifically implemented by the company and the major scientific contents and outcomes of the constellation of the six connected projects.

The aim of this chapter is to discuss how far computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is currently able to simulate the limnological physics of a complex natural body of water. The experience reported by the authors is in progress at the CNR- ISE (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Istituto per lo Studio degli Ecosistemi; National Research Council, Institute of Ecosystem Study) of Pallanza, Italy. The main features of the current state of the art in this field of application of mathematical modeling techniques are summarized and the characteristics of the computer code now in use for our studies on Lake Maggiore are described in detail. Examples of the kind of information that can be extracted from the outputs are given to show how knowledge collected by traditional analysis of the experimental data and in situ observations can be improved with this kind of support. Forecasts for future trends are also suggested.

The Right

The purpose of the present study was to assess whether rats are capable of selecting the right proportions of two diets that are individually inappropriate in terms of essential amino acid composition to satisfy their amino acid requirements. Rats were offered a choice of one protein-free regimen and another devoid of only one essential amino acid (either threonine or isoleucine) set up in such a way as to provide amino acid balance if they were consumed in 1/3 and 2/3 proportions respectively. Preliminary experiments had established that all our diets were aversive by themselves except for the 60 g casein/kg diet. Rats did reach almost the necessary proportion with, according to published standards (National Research Council, 1978), some excess in isoleucine intake. In addition, given access to two aversive diets that were each nutritionally inadequate, rats showed no aversion and gained body weight when they had the opportunity to consume both of them. Beyond the capacity that rats have of rebalancing their micronutrient intake, the present experiment brings out the idea that the imbalance-induced aversion: preference ratio may be completely upset when this omnivore has access to more than one feed.
