Scientific productivity

In any case, I eventually recovered (and so did Jerry), but my immune system must have suffered serious damage, which manifested itself three years later, when I collapsed in my office one day and was found to be bleeding internally from a form of rare stomach cancer, which necessitated major surgery but was fortunately localized. I again recovered and have had no further difficulties since. Whether weakening and knocking out my immune system to overcome the previous problems had any effect is not clear, but it could have been a factor. Despite my health problems I was able to continue my work without much interruption, and the scientific productivity of my group has not...

Improving scientific productivity is not simply down to information management alone. Nor is knowledge management alone going to increase the number of new medicines reaching the marketplace. Standards initiatives are only driven by the need to avoid chaos and reduce data loss, not by compliance or... 

An electronic laboratory notebook system ( e-notebook or ELN ) addresses several different areas that impact upon scientific productivity, including time efficiencies and communication of information. 

Time spent in complying with regulatory and legal issues, for instance, completing the paper notebook write-up of an experiment, is time taken out of the lab and is therefore time not spent making new discoveries. Shortening the time taken to both set up new experiments and document experimental outcomes will therefore have a direct and positive impact on scientific productivity. 

A key factor in determining an ROI on the basis of increased efficiencies is to be able to apply metrics to the existing processes commonly this requires measurement of the process before the implementation of a new system and then a corresponding measurement of the process after implementation. In the case of ELN systems, this information can also be supplemented through the use of the ELN database itself, for example, by looking at the number of completed experiments created per scientist per week. These data can then be compared with an historical analysis of data from paper notebook archives on scientific productivity by similar groups. 

The increase in scientific production on polymer deformulation is considerably higher than the inflation in scientific papers (3.4% as from 1989). Bourgeois [111] has recently described reverse engineering of polyolefins and polyolefin blends. 

Almost at the same time, another company. ChemLab Scientific Products (CSP) [13] in conjunction with TTiames Water, designed and developed an alternative system. A schematic arrangement of the unit is shown in Fig. 7.22. ChemLab s new analyser automates four of the most labour intensive procedures left in the analytical laboratory.

As noted above, the only documentation of this statement in Gomberg s entire scientific production consists of two sentences in an account of preliminary work from 1906. After listing the problems occupying Gomberg (see above), Widman concluded that the final proof of the existence of triphenyl-methyl-type radicals was provided by Schlenk s isolation of a number of nearly 100% monomeric species, for example, trisbiphenylmethyl 12.

Use ACS-grade chemicals unless otherwise specified and deionized or distilled water in all recipes and protocol steps. Basic suppliers for chemicals would include VWR Scientific Products, Fisher Scientific, and Sigma. For common stock solutions, see APPENDIX 24 for suppliers, see SUPPLIERS APPENDIX. 

A specific gravity vial (VWR Scientific Products) can be substituted for a pycnometer. 

Precoated silica gel plates (silica gel 60) were purchased from Scientific Products. Bio-Sil A (200 - 400 Mesh) was obtained from Bio-Rad Laboratories. Fatty acid methyl esters, sphingosine and dihydrosphingosine were products of Supelco, Inc. as were 10% DEGS-PS, 3% SP-2340 and 3% OV-17 (all on Supelcoport support). N-acetyl and N-glycolyl neuraminic acid, DEAE-Sephadex A50 and neuraminidase type IX were obtained from Sigma Company. Ganglio-side standards from human brain and neutral glycosphingolipid standards from bovine erythrocytes were prepared in this laboratory.
