Transferring Social Capital Across Knowledge Domains: The Case of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
No full textNew ‘networked’ modes of innovation increasingly emphasize the need for organizations to rely on external relationships in R&D and bring in knowledge and competences from domains outside the commercial realm. This has created opportunities for individual knowledge workers to function as critical conduits of knowledge and resources across domains of knowledge that are institutionally distant but interdependent - as the science and technology - for the knowledge creation process. The present paper explores how individual researchers accumulate and transfer social capital across these domains to generate novel knowhow. We specifically focus the attention on the structural dimension of social capital. Our empirical analysis is based on a 20-year longitudinal sample of authors, inventors, and author-inventors involved in the emerging field of nanoscience and nanotechnology

It purpots to depict the features of his mentality and spiritual life which had the strongest influence on his teachings and his self-reflection as the hidden tzaddik of the whole generation with strong messianic aspiration. Both of his works differ very much from the traditional genres of Hasidic literature: his homilies are marked by their enigmatic, associative style and highly complex hermeneutical structure. His stories, unlike traditional Hasidic legend which depicts the life and miraculous deeds of tzaddikim, don't take place in the Jewish surroundings and tzaddik is present in them as their author who puts his words into the mouth of fictitions heroes. My aim was to prove the essential unity of both these works which played the crucial role na Nahman's messianic strivings.

Tereza Krekulová Rabi Nachman ben Simcha z Braslavi (1772 Mezibož - 1810 Uman) patří k nejoriginálnějším a zároveň i nejrozporuplnějším osobnostem chasidského hnutí. Jeho jedinečnost v rámci chasidské spirituality netkví pouze v myšlenkovém obsahu jeho subjektivně, niterně psychologicky zabarveného díla s hlubokým existenciálním přesahem; svébytný byl i jeho způsob komunikace s žáky a především vnímání sebe sama jako skrytě působícího cadika generace (cadik ha-dor) se silnou mesiášskou aspirací. Obě jeho díla se zásadně liší od tradičních žánrů chasidské literatury: homilie se vyznačují nesmírně složitou kompozicí a mnohovrstevnou hermeneutickou strukturou, příběhy na rozdíl od tradiční chasidské legendy vyprávějíci o životě a zázračných skutcích cadikim, nejsou primárně spjaty s židovským prostředím a tradicí a cadik je v nich přítomen jako sám autor promlouvající ke svým posluchačům a čtenářům ústy fiktivních hrdinů. Jak homilie, tak příběhy, sloužily jako materiální roucha nejhlubšího mystického poznání, jehož skryté zjevování rabi Nachman - v návaznosti na Šim'ona ben Jochaj - pokládal za jeden z hlavních způsobů, jimž cadik ha-dor naplňuje svoji ústřední roli v díle individuální i univerzální spásy. Svým učením i příběhy rabi Nachman...HTF - Ústav židovských studiíHussite Theological FacultyHusitská teologická fakult

High-Fidelity Cyber and Physical Simulation of Water Distribution Systems. I: Models and Data
No full textNumerical simulation models are a fundamental tool for planning and managing smart water networks-an evolution of water distribution systems in which physical assets are monitored and controlled by information and communication technologies. While simulation models allow us to understand the interactions between physical processes and abstract control strategies, they ignore key implementation aspects of distributed control systems, such as the required communication over digital links. As a result, the effects of anomalies and faults in the communication on the process control cannot be investigated with existing tools. In this work, we fill this gap by introducing DHALSIM (Digital HydrAuLic SIMulator), a numerical modelling platform combining EPANET-based process simulation with a network and host emulation environment, offering a high-fidelity representation of the processes occurring in the cyber domain. We illustrate DHALSIM's key functionalities by implementing it on a benchmark water distribution system, present case studies of simulated network traffic, and demonstrate how anomalies in the behavior of the communication network affect the process data received by the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) server. In a companion paper, we further illustrate how DHALSIM enables research opportunities in the domain of cyber-physical security. The easily customizable and open source DHALSIM provides a "workbench" for studying smart water networks, developing digital twins, and designing a broad spectrum of engineering solutions
