Evidence-Based Development Economics Essays in Honor of Sanjaya Lall
No full textAt a time when governments are looking for new approaches to promote economic development as the free markets paradigm has proved to be neither necessary nor adequate, the pioneering work of Sanjaya Lall offers policy relevant insights. Sharing his epistemological coordinates, the contributors to this volume develop his ideas further by treating the theory, methodology and evidence related to development issues inductively through a dynamic set of lenses
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Regulatory Guidelines for Nutraceuticals in the European Union
No full textNutraceuticals include a wide range of substances that can be used as medicinal products, feed material, or feed additives. This makes a substantial difference in the regulatory aspect of the marketing authorization in the European Union (EU) because for obtaining the appropriate marketing authorization, different procedures have to be followed. Since specific regulations do not apply to nutraceuticals, when they are used as feed additives for animal nutrition, they shall comply with Regulation No 1831/2003 on additives for use in animal nutrition. While nutraceuticals are administered as feed ingredients, they must comply with Commission Regulation (EU) No 68/2013. If nutraceuticals are administered with medical claims or if they exert a pharmacological effect, their use must comply with Directive 2001/82/EC. The EU legislation on this topic is very detailed and complex. Nevertheless, it allows the obtaining of marketing authorization with a wide safety margin, precautionary for animal health, human health, and the environment. The Scientific Committees and panels of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) are responsible for producing opinions that are used by the European Commission to adopt legislation related to animal nutrition. For veterinary medicinal products, the responsibility for marketing authorization is both granted by competent national authorities of the Member States or by the European Medicine Agency (EMA). This chapter describes legislation that is relevant to the marketing authorization of nutraceuticals for animals in the EU, elucidating the different categories of use, i.e., feed materials, feed additives, and veterinary medicinal products
Extreme precipitation in the south and south-east Mediterranean climate structure and predictability
No full textAs part of a Global Flood project, we assess the conditions that lead to the changing frequency and spatial structure of extreme daily precipitation events in this region for the 6 month winter period from Oct-March. Spatial and temporal trends in the ECA&D data for this region are analyzed in the precipitation frequency and intensity for events exceeding the 99th percentile of daily precipitation. The associated climatic conditions (SST, atmospheric circulation patterns, canonical moisture sources and moisture transport patterns) are analyzed using re-analysis data to establish the concurrent and season ahead conditions associated with the leading space and time patterns. Analogs of these patterns are investigated for GCM integrations for future climate (seasonal forecasts as well as IPCC scenarios) to assess potential predictability and outcomes
21st Projections of precipitation extremes in the Mediterranean from a medium resolution GCM
No full textPrecipitation extremes simulated by a medium resolution GCM ( INMCM3.0) are analyzed for
the Mediterranean region. A structured analysis of low frequency variability in the control
and forced ( corresponding to the IPCC scenarios) model runs is performed. The preliminary
results of the analysis of rainfall patterns under global warming conditions, during the
extended winter ONDJFM season, show an increase of rainfall extremes in both frequency
and intensity in northern Europe and a decrease in the most part of Mediterranean. In the
latter region an increase of dry conditions is also observed. The change in the rainfall patterns
can be explained by a northward shift of the North Atlantic winter storm track. This
shift is related changes in meridional and zonal surface temperature gradients ( Equator-
Pole and Ocean-Land contrast, respectively) due to anthropogenic forcing. Changes in the
inter-annual and multi-decadal natural variability are also noted
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
GCM projection of precipitation extremes in the mediterranean: changes ansd low frequency characteristic
No full textPrecipitation extremes simulated a medium by resolution GCM ( INMCM3.0) as are analyzed

during the extended winter ONDJFM season, show an increase of rainfall extremes in
both frequency and intensity in northern Europe and a decrease in the most part of Mediterranean.
In the latter region an increase of dry conditions is also observed. The change in
