The nature, scale and beneficiaries of research impact

This report captures an initial analysis of 6,679 impact case studies that were submitted to the 2014 Research Excellence Framework. The case studies outline changes and benefits to the economy, society, culture, policy, health, the environment and quality of life — both within the UK and overseas. The report was commissioned as part of wider work to analyse the impact case studies. This analysis was undertaken by Digital Science, a division of Macmillan Science & Education; working in conjunction with its sister company Nature Publishing Group and the policy institute at King’s College, London. This project was co-funded by the UK higher education funding bodies, Research Councils UK and Wellcome Trust. Text mining and qualitative analysis techniques were used to undertake a synthetic review of the case studies, and to identify general patterns and thematic structures in the impact of research across the sector. The report draws together the key findings of this analysis alongside some deeper questions focused on particular sub-sets of the case studies. The report paves the way for others to explore the case studies further and undertake their own extended analysis. Synthetic analysis of the REF impact case studies found widespread breadth and depth in research impact, supporting the extensive value of HE research on wider society. Its key findings include that: Over 80 per cent of the REF impact case studies included underpinning research that was multidisciplinary. The impact case studies were diverse and wide-ranging, with over 60 unique ‘impact topics’ identified. The reported research impacts stemmed from research in wide-ranging subject areas, with over 3,700 unique pathways from research to impact identified. Research undertaken in UK higher education institutions has made a contribution to every country in the world. The analysis project has also produced the REF impact case study database, a searchable tool enabling analysis and automated text mining of the case studies.
Geophysical and Geochemical Evidence for a New Mafic Magmatic Province Within the Northwest Shelf of Australia

The formation of mafic magmatic provinces are significant geological events that can drive mass extinctions and continental rifting and can influence basin evolution, petroleum prospectivity and mineralization. Buried magmatic provinces, however, are rarely identified and difficult to define. The Northwest Shelf of Australia contains large volumes of potentially interconnected mafic igneous material across several sedimentary basins. However, limited study and a lack of surface exposure have prevented detailed description and classification of these rocks. In this study, the distribution and composition of these mafic igneous rocks are described using an integrated geophysical and geochemical approach, which included over 10,000 km line length of 2D seismic data, well log data and chemical analysis of samples from 14 wells across the Browse, Roebuck, Canning and North Carnarvon basins. Using this combined data set, we demonstrate interconnectivity of buried mafic igneous rocks across the Northwest Shelf and calculate a total surface area exceeding 280,000 km2 and a cumulative minimum volume of ∼140,000 km3. Petrology and geochemistry of samples indicate they are basaltic and doleritic with alkaline and sub‐alkaline compositions and formed in a continental rift setting. Collectively, the igneous rocks meet the criteria for classification as a mafic magmatic province (MMP) and closely match the criteria required for classification as a large igneous province (LIP). Emplacement of the newly defined Northwest Shelf MMP may represent hotspot magmatism that could have initiated rifting of the Cimmerian Block from NW Australia during the Permian and could have potential for future, large scale CO2 sequestration and storage.
Observed misconvergence in the constant modulus adaptive algorithm

Practical application of the constant modulus algorithm (CMA) has demonstrated a number of circumstances in which CMA fails to converge, or, equally bad from a practical standpoint, converges to a solution which fails to equalize the input signal. The authors describe several situations in which misconvergence occurs, suggesting that a firmer analytical understanding is needed of the behavior of blind algorithms in the presence of cyclostationary and/or quasi-periodic, nonwhite inputs. While this analytical understanding is not yet established, the practical experience reported should be directly useful to those designing new digital communications systems. An example presented, is the use of CMA to equalize quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals used to broadcast high-definition television signals. <<ETX>>
Estimating Transportation Costs by Characteristics of Neighborhood and Household

Since information on U.S. household expenditures was first collected, transport expenditures have risen from the sixth-highest share of household budgets, less than 2%, in 1917 to the second-highest share since the 1970s. This rise is linked to increased automobile purchase and automobile use and a relative decline in other costs, particularly food. Studies have also linked variations in the built environment to transport expenditures, but this influence cannot be tested by the federal Consumer Expenditure Survey since it is reported at the metropolitan level. Regional travel demand models recognize the dual influence of land use and household characteristics but do not include sufficient detail on the built environment of neighborhoods. Additionally, these models report travel time, distance, and frequency but not out-of-pocket household transportation expenditures. A study was launched to create a statistical model to predict household total annual transportation expenditures for each neighborhood in the largest metropolitan regions in the United States, controlling for the built environment and household size and income. The model specifies five independent variables—density, jobs access, neighborhood services, walkability, and transit connectivity. Model parameters were calibrated to measured vehicle ownership and transit use in the pilot region, Minneapolis–St. Paul, Minnesota, and to vehicle miles traveled by households at the block group level in the National Household Travel Survey. Statistically significant results confirm the influence of the built environment and regional accessibility on transport expenditures. Intended users are households, policy makers, and planners making location, design, and investment decisions.
Mesenchymal stem cells promote caspase-3 expression of SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells via reducing telomerase activity and telomere length

Objective(s): The use of mesenchymal stem cells in malignancies has attracted much attention due to their ability to deliver anticancer agents to tumors, including cytokines, chemokines, etc. This study aimed to investigate the effect of MSCs on the neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells through proliferation/apoptosis, senescence assessment, telomere length, and telomerase activity in vitro. BAX and BCL2 were also examined as potential signaling pathways in this process. Materials and Methods: For this reason, two cell populations (MSCs and SH-SY5Y cells) were co-cultured on trans-well plates for 7 days. In a subsequent step, SH-SY5Y cells were harvested from both control and experimental groups and subjected to flow cytometry, ELISA, real-time PCR, PCR-ELISA TRAP assay, and Western blotting assay for Ki67/Caspase3 investigation, β-Galactosidase assessment, telomere length, and telomerase activity assay. Also, expression of genes and proteins through real-time PCR and Western blotting demonstrated the involvement of the aforementioned signaling pathways in this process. Results: It was found that MSCs contributed significantly to decrease and increase of Ki-67 and Caspase-3, respectively. Also, MSCs dramatically reduced the length of telomere and telomerase activity and increased the β-Galactosidase activity in a significant manner. In addition, significant increase and decrease were also seen in BAX and BCL2 gene and protein expressions, respectively. Conclusion: These findings revealed that close interaction between MSCs and neuroblastoma cells causes inhibition of the SH-SY5Y cell proliferation and promotes cell senescence via BAX and caspase-3 cascade pathways.
Gheorghe Asachi ” Technical University of Iasi , Romania ECONOMICAL OPTIMIZATION OF AN INDIRECT SOLAR CABINET DRYER BASED ON MATHEMATICAL MODELING

This paper presents an optimization procedure to minimize the cost of drying in a solar cabinet dryer based on the results of a mathematical model. The model has been developed previously for performance analysis of a solar cabinet dryer. The optimal values for geometry of the solar collector, mass flux of air through the collector, and initial moisture content are obtained in a way that the drying cost is minimized. The results indicate that to optimize the drying cost, the best values of initial moisture content, air mass flux, the length and the surface area of collector are 9–10 kg/kg (dry basis), 0.03–0.045 kg/m.s, longer than 2.5 m, and 2.5–3 m, respectively. The results can help the designers to choose the optimum drying conditions for small scale industrial applications.

Hybrid wave propagation in generalised Goubau-type striplines

In the paper the propagation characteristics of hybrid modes in a layered dielectric waveguide loaded with one or two radial strips (Goubau-type striplines) are investigated. The analysis is based on systems of singular integral-integrodifferential equations of the first kind. The proposed algorithms are rapidly convergent, yielding very accurate results for the propagation constants and for the modal electric currents of the principal as well as the higher-order modes.

Reviewing performance: an analysis of the structure and functions of performance management reviews

This article proposes an analytical framework for conceptualising performance management reviews (PMRs). Drawing on multiple literatures, the article applies Pettigrew et al.'s (Pettigrew, A., Whipp R., and Rosenfield R., 1989. Competitiveness and the management of strategic change processes. In: A. Francis, and P.K.M. Tharakan, eds. The competitiveness of European industry: country policies and company strategies. London: Routledge) framework to develop our understanding of the context, process and content of PMR. The process elements of PMRs are the levers for managerial intervention as they determine the immediate outcome of PMR. They accomplish this task by acting on the content elements, transforming the subject of PMR into specific outcomes. The scope of the intervention, however, is constrained by factors in the organisation's context. This framework sheds light on various functions of PMRs, most notably strategy implementation.
Do interorganisational relationships and knowledge-management practices enhance collaborative commerce adoption?

This research aims to investigate the contributions of interorganisational relationships and knowledge-management practices as predictors of collaborative commerce (c-commerce) adoption. A non-compensatory adoption decision process was modelled using a neural network approach to examine the predictors of c-commerce adoption. A survey was undertaken in 136 firms for this research. The results showed that both interorganisational relationships and knowledge-management processes played an important role in predicting the adoption of c-commerce. In particular, variables from interorganisational relationships such as trust, communication, collaboration, and information sharing are found to contribute strongly to the predictive power of the model when compared with knowledge-management processes. This study provides insights for firms that would like to improve their supply-chain collaboration through the implementation of c-commerce. The findings lead to an understanding of what attributes of interorganisational relationships and knowledge-management processes can contribute to the improved adoption of c-commerce in the supply chain. Unlike past adoption studies which have tended to focus on technology, and organisational and environmental factors, this research examined interorganisational relationships and knowledge-management processes which are increasingly gaining the attention of researchers and practitioners. This study has also extended the existing literature by examining a non-compensatory model for technology adoption.
Efficacy of Weed Management Techniques on Weed Control, Biomass Yield, and Soil Herbicide Residue in Transplanted Wild Marigold (Tagetes minuta L.) under High Rainfall Conditions of Western Himalaya

A reduced herbicide rate with hand-weeding (HW) can act as a safer and sustainable approach for weed control. A field study was conducted at CSIR-IHBT, Palampur, India during 2018 and 2019 to analyze the efficacy of herbicides in combination with manual weeding on weed control and the yield of wild marigold (Tagetes minuta L). The experiment was laid with 12 treatments, consisting of two herbicide dosages with prescribed and reduced rates (R) of pendimethalin, imazethapyr, and carfentrazone-ethyl, along with integration of reduced-rate herbicide treatments with HW. The weed population, dry matter, and the crop biomass yield had a significant effect on different weed-control treatments. Imazethapyr (R) with HW recorded a reduced weed number (9.64 m−2) and weed dry matter (13.64 g m−2) and a greater biomass yield (235.03 q ha−1). All the herbicides with integration with HW decreased the weed infestation and enhanced the biomass yield. The weed control efficacy of imazethapyr was higher than pendimethalin and carfentrazone-ethyl. Weed infestation in reduced doses of herbicides with HW was lower than in recommended doses. Herbicide residues in the soil of all herbicides at both the dosages were below the detectable limit (<0.001 μg g−1). Therefore, a reduced dose of imazethapyr integrated with HW can be prescribed to T. minuta growers as a more sustainable approach.
Robust Estimation of Real Exchange Rate Process Half-life

In this paper, we show that the data generating process of the real exchange rate is likely to include outliers that, if not accounted for, lead to unreliable half-lives estimates. In order to obtain robust estimates of the half-life, we propose to identify outlying observations by means of a dummy saturation type algorithm designed for ARMA processes which enables to detect additional and innovative outliers as well as level shifts in the real exchange rate process. An empirical application involving US dollar real exchange rates allows us to conclude that the estimated half-lives are consistently shorter after outlying observations are correctly modelled, thus shedding some light on the PPP puzzle.
Analytical model for an assured forwarding differentiated service over wireless links

A weakness of the current structure of the Internet is that it does not provide the capability to support a wide range of QoS. This problem will worsen as wireless services become more popular and need to be supported using the Internet. A new model, known as differentiated service (DiffServ), has been proposed by IETF to extend the Internet to be a QoS-capable, scaleable and efficient network. Whereas DiffServ has received considerable attention from researchers, few analytical studies on supporting a wireless DiffServ have been published. The authors formulate a simple analytical model for the assured forwarding class of differentiated service over wireless links. Based on the assumption of a slowly fading channel and the use of a RIO queue management policy, they obtain expressions for performance measures that characterise the service provided to different kinds of packets. Although the model is simple, it is computationally efficient and numerical results generated using the model closely match those obtained using simulation.
Purchase Intentions of Non-Certified Organic Food in a Non-Regulated Market: An Application of the Theory of Planned Behavior

Abstract This study is one of the first to investigate consumer preferences toward organic food in a developing country, Pakistan, where organic food is not certified. Responses to a survey based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) were collected from a sample of 204 organic food shoppers. Data were analyzed by means of structural equation modeling (Partial least square). The model fits the data well and it shows moderate predictive power. Health beliefs and consumer ethnocentrism are found to be significant predictors of the organic buying attitude whereas trust and price beliefs are not. Subjective norms and the attitude toward buying are significantly related to purchase intentions while perceived behavioral control is not significant. These results differ slightly from studies on certified organic food in similar contexts. Implications for various stakeholders and directions for future research are discussed.
Lexical Complexity of Students' Oral Performance on PechaKucha

This study examines the lexical complexity of undergraduate students' speaking performance, taking from their performance in Pechakucha. Pechakucha is an internet-based platform that enables people to do their presentations at a specific time and share it worldwide. The researcher uses PechaKucha since it enhances the students' actual speaking competence by giving them limited time to discuss an image. The lexical complexity of the students' speaking performance is measured using Lexical Complexity Analyser (LCA). This present study finds a significant difference between students' lexical frequency when performing descriptive and narrative oral presentations, shown by the sig.2-tailed of that variable is less than 0.05. While on the other hand, students' lexical variation, lexical density and lexical sophistication showed that the sig-2 tailed value is higher than 0.05, which means there is no significant difference between those two oral presentations. The finding indicates that the students' word choices are similar, and the measurements of their lexical complexity are influenced by the different requirements applied in two oral presentations. In addition, Pechakucha is one of the speaking activities which can be an alternative activity during online classes which prevent students from having face-to-face speaking activity.
