No full textPhysician-scientist: Attitude of graduates of clinical medicine graduate schools
No full text[[abstract]]Background/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate and analyze the motivation, results and influential factors of the research work of graduates from clinical medicine graduate institutes in Taiwan. Methods: There were 679 graduates from 1978 to 2004; all of them completed residency training following medical school before entering graduate study. A survey with 56 questions in four sections was sent to them and 268 (40%) responded. We used SPSS 11.0 for our statistical analysis and cross analysis. Results: There were 239 (89.2%) males, and 29 (10.8%) females. One hundred and forty-seven (54.9%) respondents had PhD degrees and 98 had Master's degrees (36.5%) while 23 had both degrees (8.6%). The majority of respondents recognized the importance of clinical research (73.5%), while 25.8% thought that physicians do not necessarily have to do research. After graduation from medical school, 54.1% of respondents indicated that clinical care, teaching, and research were prioritized in that order. The graduate school did emphasize the importance of research, but as clinicians, clinical care was still the priority in their careers. A majority of the graduates thought that the graduate school helped to a significant degree in their research. Motivation was important in 83.2% to go to graduate school. The time spent in research ranged from 1 to 4 days a week, and the time spent each research day ranged from 1 to 6 hours. The majority of the researchers thought that they lacked independent research space. For research quantity and quality, physicians with a PhD had more projects than those with Master's degrees in general, with 60.4% participating in laboratory research and 61% in clinical research. Some type of mechanism to reward research activities was present in 69.2% of the institutions or hospitals. The biggest hindrance to medical research was the lack of time for research. The most productive age for publishing was between 41 and 55 years. Conclusion: The physician-scientist has a unique ability to bridge the gap between bench/laboratory and bedside. In a changing socioeconomic climate as well as cultural evolution in medical practice, external pressures are unavoidable. The support of research from institutions or government is very important, as are financial resources, space and equipment. For those physicians who are going into research, a special training of strict methodology in research will obviously become necessary. ?2008 Elsevier & Formosan Medical Association
On the linear k-arboricity of Kn and Kn,n
No full textAbstractA linear k-forest of a undirected graph G is a subgraph of G whose components are paths with lengths at most k. The linear k-arboricity of G, denoted by lak(G), is the minimum number of linear k-forests needed to partition the edge set E(G) of G. In case that the lengths of paths are not restricted, we then have the linear arboricity of G, denoted by la(G). In this paper, we first prove that a conjecture by Habib and Peroche holds when G is Kn or Kn,n and k is not less than half the order. Secondly, I(G)=min{k|lak(G)=la(G)} is determined for G is Kn or Kn,n
The linear 3-arboricity of Kn,n and Kn
No full textAbstractA linear k-forest is a forest whose components are paths of length at most k. The linear k-arboricity of a graph G, denoted by lak(G), is the least number of linear k-forests needed to decompose G. In this paper, we completely determine lak(G) when G is a balanced complete bipartite graph Kn,n or a complete graph Kn, and k=3
KN and KN two-body physics: 2-5 GeV/c
No full textThe author reviews KN and KN induced reactions in the intermediate energy region to sketch present theoretical understanding and to high- light promising avenues for the future. He emphasizes several experiments that should advance or consolidate understanding: polarization for K/sup 0/p to K/sup +/n, K/sup -/p to K/sup 0/n, K/sub L//sup 0/p to K/sub s//sup 0/p; R parameter data for K/sup +/p to K /sup +/p and KN to Lambda pi and Sigma /sup +/ pi . A determination of precise cross section differences between K/sup +or-/p and K/sup +or- /n elastic scattering; between K and K charge exchange and between KN to pi Y and pi N to KY is described.

Triangular embeddings of Kn−Km with unboundedly large m
No full textAbstractThe author has proposed methods of constructing index 2 and 3 current graphs generating triangular embeddings of graphs Kn−Km with unboundedly large m (asn increases). As a result, triangular embeddings of graphs of many families of graphs Kn−Km with unboundedly large m were constructed. The paper gives a survey of these results and a short explanation of the methods

The role of the international patent system in the transfer of technology to West Africa : case studies : Ghana and Nigeria
Full text linkThe principal aim of this thesis is to undertake a critical
examination of the role of the international patent system in the
transfer of technology to West Africa, particularly Ghana and Nigeria.
It focuses mainly on the patent systans and technology regulatory
regimes of the two countries. The study is intended to identify and
evaluate the impact of the international patent system on the transfer
and development of technology in this area.
The first chapter provides a theoretical foundation to some of
the more practical issues to be discussed in the subsequent chapters.
The Paris Convention and the diplomatic revision exercise thereof, as
well as other efforts and policies regarding patents and technology
transfer at various levels are discussed in Chapter Two. Chapters
Three to Eight consider the two case-studies undertaken in this
thesis. Chapter Three begins with the historical development of the
patent system in both Ghana and Nigeria, and the remaining chapters
continue with a discussion of the present patent and technology
regulatory regimes of both countries. Based on facts and figures the
two case-studies examine critically the patent law and systems and
technology transfer laws of these two countries including other
related institutional measures highlighting their strengths and
weaknesses.
The study argues that if the patent systems of both countries
are to play a meaningful role in the transfer and developnent of
technology they nust be utilized as a tool of economic policy and also
be related to the technology transfer regimes which nust necessarily
be integrated into the national technology policy which should, in
turn, be made an integral part of the entire national developnent
plan. It is concluded that it is only in this way that the patent
system can effectively contribute to the transfer of technology and
the development of indigenous technological capabilities in the two countries
