    PublicationHarvester: An Open-Source Software Tool for Science Policy Research

    No full text
    We present PublicationHarvester, an open-source software tool for gathering publication information on individual life scientists. The software interfaces with MEDLINE, and allows the end-user to specify up to four MEDLINE-formatted names for each researcher. Using these names along with a user-specified search query, PublicationHarvester generates yearly publication counts, optionally weighted by Journal Impact Factors. These counts are further broken-down by order on the authorship list (first, last, second, next-to-last, middle) and by publication type (clinical trials, regular journal articles, reviews, letters/editorials, etc.) The software also generates a keywords report at the scientist-year level, using the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) assigned by the National Library of Medicine to each publication indexed by Medline. The software, source code, and user manual can be downloaded at http://www.stellman-greene.com/PublicationHarvester/

    Thesis: Ph. D., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2017.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references.This dissertation investigates how research organizations learn from and adapt to new knowledge. In particular, I examine how news about scandals, stigmas and failures influences the direction of research and development efforts. These negative information shocks force research organizations to pause, interpret external signals, and apply any lessons to their own project portfolios. I investigate how these negative information events impact decisions in the settings of scientific publishing and drug development. In the first essay, I study the impact of scientific retractions on citation patterns and funding in the retracted paper's intellectual field. I investigate how the retraction disclosure and affected field's characteristics influence the extent of these spillover effects. The second essay evaluates how retraction scandals damage individual scientists' reputations. This study shows that the magnitude of the retraction penalty depends on a scientist's prominence and whether or not the retraction event involved "misconduct." In the third essay, I analyze how late-stage drug development failures alter competitor's project continuation decisions. I separate technological learning effects from market competition effects, and grade decision-making across firms.by Joshua Lev Krieger.1. Introduction -- 2.

    A simple technique for procuring liver allografts while protecting arterial vessels

    Arterial injury remains a common complication during organ procurement, with negative effects on postoperative morbidity and graft survival. We describe a simple technique that helps surgeons avoid vascular injuries during isolated liver procurement (without pancreas). This simple technique has been used in 200 liver procurements without any arterial injuries

    Il 22 maggio 1957 Afro venne invitato dal Comité des conseillers artistique dell’UNESCO a realizzare un’opera murale per la parete di un vestibolo al settimo piano della nuova sede dell’organizzazione culturale delle Nazioni Unite a Parigi, come parte integrante del notevole progetto di decorazione dell’edificio che vide coinvolti grandi artisti come Appel, Arp, Calder, Matta, Mirò, Moore, Noguchi, Picasso e Tamajo. È un incarico, che dimostra inequivocabilmente il successo internazionale del lavoro di Afro, in cui l’artista si immerse totalmente e diede vita a un’opera che si pose come tappa centrale del suo percorso artistico. Afro ci si dedicò anima e corpo, immerso nella solitudine e nel silenzio del suo studio presso il Mills College di Oakland, in California, dove soggiornò come painter in residence dall’autunno del 1957 al giugno dell’anno successivo. Il contributo ricostruisce le vicede realizzative delal grande tela murale e ne propone una lettura d'opera.On May 22, 1957, Afro was invited by UNESCO's Comité des conseillers artistique to create a mural work for the wall of a vestibule on the seventh floor of the new headquarters of the United Nations cultural organization in Paris, as part of the remarkable project to decorate the building, which involved major artists such as Appel, Arp, Calder, Matta, Mirò, Moore, Noguchi, Picasso and Tamajo. It is a commission, which unequivocally demonstrates the international success of Afro's work, in which the artist totally immersed himself and gave life to a work that stood as a central stage in his artistic journey. Afro devoted himself to it body and soul, immersed in the solitude and silence of his studio at Mills College in Oakland, California, where he stayed as painter in residence from the fall of 1957 to June of the following year. The contribution reconstructs the vicissitudes of the realization of the large mural canvas and proposes a working reading of it
