Book excerpt: "Unhealthy Science? University Natural and Physical sciences 2002 to 2009-10 ... examines university statistical data in detail for the years 2002 - 2009, the latter year being the most recent for which detailed data were available from aggregated data sets. Some additional information was also obtained from tables of 2010 ... In 1998, the ACDS commissioned research into the numbers of science enrolments and the trends and patterns discernible from an analysis of higher education statistics. The resulting Trends in Science Education: Learning Teaching and Outcomes 1989-1997 (Dobson & Calderon, 1999) presented data that showed that between 1989 and 1997, there had been an expansion of over 35,000 enrolments in science courses, which represented an increase over the period of about 58 per cent, compared with the sector-wide growth of 49 per cent. Superficially, therefore, this seemed like a very positive outcome, but the reality was that this apparently positive state of affairs masked a long-term decline in uptake of what are generally known as 'the enabling sciences' of chemistry, mathematics and physics. The apparent expansion in 'science' came from an expansion in the behavioural and biological sciences, and even in the 'non-sciences'. As such, much of the teaching provided to many of the new 'science' students was no longer provided by traditional university enabling science departments. For example, at some universities some biological sciences teaching is provided by medical or other health-related faculties and departments. It is also true that more students started to take 'science' as part of a combined course (e.g. science / law) than in the past. Although this is hardly a negative thing, some of the expansion in the 'nonscience' component of 'science' degrees reflected the growth of subjects that were not science disciplines, but were from the course being studied in combination with the science degree. A second study was undertaken in 2003 (Science at the Crossroads? A study of trends in university science from Dawkins to now, 1989 - 2002 (Dobson, 2003)), and a third in 2007, Sustaining Science: University Science in the Twenty-first Century (Dobson, 2007) ..."--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If America has a claim to exceptionalism, American Credo locates it in a little understood ability to engage in deep conflicts over political ideas, while at the same time reducing adversarial positions to legitimate derivatives of American history and development.
Download or read book Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, the natural sciences have been divided into two branches: the biological sciences and the physical sciences. Today, an increasing number of scientists are addressing problems lying at the intersection of the two. These problems are most often biological in nature, but examining them through the lens of the physical sciences can yield exciting results and opportunities. For example, one area producing effective cross-discipline research opportunities centers on the dynamics of systems. Equilibrium, multistability, and stochastic behavior-concepts familiar to physicists and chemists-are now being used to tackle issues associated with living systems such as adaptation, feedback, and emergent behavior. Research at the Intersection of the Physical and Life Sciences discusses how some of the most important scientific and societal challenges can be addressed, at least in part, by collaborative research that lies at the intersection of traditional disciplines, including biology, chemistry, and physics. This book describes how some of the mysteries of the biological world are being addressed using tools and techniques developed in the physical sciences, and identifies five areas of potentially transformative research. Work in these areas would have significant impact in both research and society at large by expanding our understanding of the physical world and by revealing new opportunities for advancing public health, technology, and stewardship of the environment. This book recommends several ways to accelerate such cross-discipline research. Many of these recommendations are directed toward those administering the faculties and resources of our great research institutions-and the stewards of our research funders, making this book an excellent resource for academic and research institutions, scientists, universities, and federal and private funding agencies.
Download or read book Assessment of Directions in Microgravity and Physical Sciences Research at NASA written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-07-11 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thirty years the NASA microgravity program has used space as a tool to study fundamental flow phenomena that are important to fields ranging from combustion science to biotechnology. This book assesses the past impact and current status of microgravity research programs in combustion, fluid dynamics, fundamental physics, and materials science and gives recommendations for promising topics of future research in each discipline. Guidance is given for setting priorities across disciplines by assessing each recommended topic in terms of the probability of its success and the magnitude of its potential impact on scientific knowledge and understanding; terrestrial applications and industry technology needs; and NASA technology needs. At NASA's request, the book also contains an examination of emerging research fields such as nanotechnology and biophysics, and makes recommendations regarding topics that might be suitable for integration into NASA's microgravity program.

Download or read book Data Analysis Techniques for Physical Scientists written by Claude A. Pruneau and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 719 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to data analysis techniques for physical scientists, providing a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as seasoned researchers. The book begins with an extensive discussion of the foundational concepts and methods of probability and statistics under both the frequentist and Bayesian interpretations of probability. It next presents basic concepts and techniques used for measurements of particle production cross-sections, correlation functions, and particle identification. Much attention is devoted to notions of statistical and systematic errors, beginning with intuitive discussions and progressively introducing the more formal concepts of confidence intervals, credible range, and hypothesis testing. The book also includes an in-depth discussion of the methods used to unfold or correct data for instrumental effects associated with measurement and process noise as well as particle and event losses, before ending with a presentation of elementary Monte Carlo techniques.

Book excerpt: This work presents a series of dramatic discoveries never before made public. Starting from a collection of simple computer experiments---illustrated in the book by striking computer graphics---Wolfram shows how their unexpected results force a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe. Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science: from the origin of the Second Law of thermodynamics, to the development of complexity in biology, the computational limitations of mathematics, the possibility of a truly fundamental theory of physics, and the interplay between free will and determinism.

Download or read book Essential Mathematics for the Physical Sciences Volume 1 written by Brett Borden and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics is expressed in the language of mathematics; it is deeply ingrained in how physics is taught and how it's practiced. A study of the mathematics used in science is thus asound intellectual investment for training as scientists and engineers. This first volume of two is centered on methods of solving partial differential equations (PDEs) and the special functions introduced. Solving PDEs can't be done, however, outside of the context in which they apply to physical systems. The solutions to PDEs must conform to boundary conditions, a set of additional constraints in space or time to be satisfied at the boundaries of the system, that small part of the universe under study. The first volume is devoted to homogeneous boundary-value problems (BVPs), homogeneous implying a system lacking a forcing function, or source function. The second volume takes up (in addition to other topics) inhomogeneous problems where, in addition to the intrinsic PDE governing a physical field, source functions are an essential part of the system. This text is based on a course offered at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) and while produced for NPS needs, it will serve other universities well. It is based on the assumption that it follows a math review course, and was designed to coincide with the second quarter of student study, which is dominated by BVPs but also requires an understanding of special functions and Fourier analysis.
