Download or read book Investing in Science written by Massimo Florio and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A proposal for using cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the socioeconomic impact of public investment in large scientific projects. Large particle accelerators, outer space probes, genomics platforms: all are scientific enterprises managed through the new form of the research infrastructure, in which communities of scientists collaborate across nations, universities, research institutions, and disciplines. Such large projects are often publicly funded, with no accepted way to measure the benefits to society of these investments. In this book, Massimo Florio suggests the use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to evaluate the socioeconomic impact of public investment in large and costly scientific projects. The core concept of CBA of any infrastructure is to undertake the consistent intertemporal accounting of social welfare effects using the available information. Florio develops a simple framework for such accounting in the research infrastructure context and then offers a systematic analysis of the benefits in terms of the social agents involved. He measures the benefits to scientists, students, and postdoctoral researchers; the effect on firms of knowledge spillovers; the benefits to users of information technology and science-based innovation; the welfare effects on the general public of cultural services provided by RIs; and the willingness of taxpayers to fund scientific knowledge creation. Finally, Florio shows how these costs and benefits can be expressed in the form of stochastic net present value and other summary indicators.
Download or read book The Art and Science of Investing written by Gary N. Smith and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-12-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial markets continually evolve, but underneath these innovations are fundamental principles-such as present value, leverage, hedging, efficient markets, and the conservation of value. These enduring principles are more important than transitory details. Investing is not a multiple-choice test that can be passed by memorizing soon-obsolete facts like the name of the largest brokerage firm or the number of stocks traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The great British economist John Maynard Keynes wrote that the master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher-in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular in terms of the general, and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man's nature or his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard. The same could be said of the master investor. Our understanding of financial markets and investments depends on mathematical analysis. How could we predict investment income without models? How could we calculate present values without equations? How could we gauge uncertainty without statistics? However, a deep understanding of investments depends on our recognition of the limitations of models, no matter how scientific they appear, no matter if they were developed by Nobel laureates. The Art and Science of Investing explains the financial models that are most useful for investors, and also explains how their usefulness depends critically on a recognition of their limitations-why there is both a science and an art to successful investing.

Download or read book Investigating Science with Dinosaurs written by Craig Munsart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1993-03-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dinosaurs are every students fascination. Reproducible, hands-on activities give students the opportunity to experience how the scientific process works and how scientists form and test conclusions. Students build and employ skills in analysis, drawing, measuring, graphing, and arithmetic; exercise research and library skills to acquire data necessary to complete the activities; and apply critical-thinking skills to extrapolate from the known to the unknown-the fundamental process that makes science work. Grades 4-12.

The state of the art in physical education, health education, health services, mental health and pupil services, and nutrition and food services. Policies, finances, and other elements of CSHP infrastructure. Research and evaluation challenges. Schools and Health will be important to policymakers in health and education, school administrators, school physicians and nurses, health educators, social scientists, child advocates, teachers, and parents.
Download or read book The TurnKey Investor s Subject to Mortgage Handbook written by Matthew S. Chan and published by Ascend Beyond Publishing. This book was released on 2005-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This exciting new book is in Oversized Manual book format. It contains information not found in any business paperback book (to date) except in real estate courses costing hundreds of dollars. For the first time, this type of "inside information" of "subject to" mortgage transactions are being provided to the general public in a professional and realistic way. This book does NOT cater to the "no money down" or "no credit" audience despite the fact that using the "subject to" mortgage financing technique requires no credit. This book is NOT recommended for the beginning investor as the demands for doing "subject to" mortgage transactions require a greater degree of prerequisite knowledge and experience. This book is for the intermediate investor who wishes to expand their financing possibilities in building their own property portfolio. Accompanying the book are supplementary reading material and accompanying support website.

Download or read book Investigating Complex Phenomena Bridging between Systems Thinking and Modeling in Science Education written by Tom Bielik and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the complexity of the natural world and making sense of phenomena is one of the main goals of science and science education. When investigating complex phenomena, such as climate change or pandemic outbreaks, students are expected to engage in systems thinking by considering the boundaries of the investigated system, identifying the relevant components and their interactions, and exploring system attributes such as hierarchical organization, dynamicity, feedback loops, and emergence. Scientific models are tools that support students’ reasoning and understanding of complex systems, and students are expected to develop their modeling competence and to engage in the modeling process by constructing, testing, revising, and using models to explain and predict phenomena. Computational modeling tools, for example, provide students with the opportunity to explore big data, run simulations and investigate complex systems. Therefore, both systems thinking and modeling approaches are important for science education when investigating complex phenomena.
