We investigate whether patents on human genes have affected follow-on scientific research and product development. Using administrative data on successful and unsuccessful patent applications submitted to the US Patent and Trademark Office, we link the exact gene sequences claimed in each application with data measuring follow-on scientific research and commercial investments. Using these data, we document novel evidence of selection into patenting: patented genes appear more valuable—prior to being patented— than non-patented genes. This evidence of selection motivates two quasi-experimental approaches, both of which suggest that on average gene patents have had no quantitatively important effect on follow-on innovation.

The potential benefits for product development and scientific research have led many organizations to initiate programs to design collaborative distributed virtual environments. The goal of NASA's programs, Intelligent Synthesis Environment (ISE) and Intelligent Systems (IS), is to revolutionize scientific research and engineering processes by creating a distributed collaborative environment that will enable the linking of design teams and scientists from NASA, industry, and universities in the creation and operation of aerospace systelT1S and in synthesizing their missions. The programs' broad framework also will be used for scientific research and product development in complex non-aerospace applications. The advent of intelligent agents, which enabled the learner to manipulate cognitive artifacts from several perspectives or viewpoints, led to the interactive learning systems of the 1990s. The contributions of ISE and IS can be incorporated into three categories of advanced learning environments: expert-led group learning; self-paced individual learning; and collaborative learning; which, in combination, can reduce the time and cost of learning, and sustain and increase worker competencies in engineering organizations.

Objective. The purpose of the analytical review is to identify promising areas of research to improve the efficiency of water propellers.Method. The research provides an overview and analysis of modern propellers.Result. The analysis of the design – layout and schematics solutions of propeller is carried out, methods of increasing the efficiency of propellers are revealed, the main directions of further research are formed. Prospects for the development of propellers are considered, structural and layout and circuit solutions are described that ensure an increase in the efficiency of the working process, which allows to form the main directions of further scientific research. Created promising circuit solutions are closely related to the use of modern numerical methods at all stages of design, new approaches to the creation of propellers will provide an increase in efficiency by 8-10%.Conclusion. Increasing the efficiency of propellers, due to modeling workflows using numerical methods of hydrodynamics, and developing advanced schematics solutions, will not only increase the efficiency, but also improve the cavitation and acoustic characteristics of the propellers. The use of CFD calculations allows you to reduce the time, costs and volumes of product development work.

The economic application of various cutting processes in product development can lead to significant forming problems when changing from prototypes to serial parts. Every cutting process causes characteristic effects on the resulting edge and consequently specific edge cracking sensitivities. For exterior trim components of premium car models various bright finishing alloys are used but were not yet focus of scientific research. Within this study influences of laser beam cutting and machining on the edge cracking sensitivity of the alloys Al99.7Mg0.8Cu and EN AW-5505 are analyzed by executing hole expanding tests according to ISO 16630 enhanced with an offline evaluation method. To assess possible impacts on the resulting hole expansion ratios material and edge characterizations are conducted. Generated knowledge can support reducing forming problems occurring while changing from prototypes to serial parts.

If we make a set of measurements, such as narrow-band or multicolour photo-electric measurements, which are designed to improve a scheme of classification, and in particular if they are designed to extend the number of dimensions of classification, i.e. the number of classification parameters, then some important problems of analytical procedure arise. First, it is important not to reproduce the errors of the classification scheme which we are trying to improve. Second, when trying to extend the number of dimensions of classification we have little or nothing with which to test the validity of the new parameters.Problems similar to these have occurred in other areas of scientific research (notably psychology and education) and the branch of Statistics called Multivariate Analysis has been developed to deal with them. The techniques of this subject are largely unknown to astronomers, but, if carefully applied, they should at the very least ensure that the astronomer gets the maximum amount of information out of his data and does not waste his time looking for information which is not there. More optimistically, these techniques are potentially capable of indicating the number of classification parameters necessary and giving specific formulas for computing them, as well as pinpointing those particular measurements which are most crucial for determining the classification parameters.

Abstract. Although the development of research competency is an important goal of higher education in social sciences, instruments to measure this outcome often depend on the students’ self-ratings. To provide empirical evidence for the utility of a newly developed instrument for the objective measurement of social-scientific research competency, two validation studies across two independent samples were conducted. Study 1 ( n = 675) provided evidence for unidimensionality, expected differences in test scores between differently advanced groups of students as well as incremental validities over and above self-perceived research self-efficacy. In Study 2 ( n = 82) it was demonstrated that the competency measured indeed is social-scientific and relations to facets of fluid and crystallized intelligence were analyzed. Overall, the results indicate that the test scores reflected a trainable, social-scientific, knowledge-related construct relevant to research performance. These are promising results for the application of the instrument in the evaluation of research education courses in higher education.
