Drones begin to show their development promise

Drones begin to show their development promise

Enthusiasts argue that drones could be used to deliver medicines and vaccines, establish mobile communication networks in the wake of natural disasters, combat wildlife poaching and provide early alerts for emerging conflicts. The charity WWF, for example, plans to make use of 'conservation drones'. Similarly, in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil, there are plans to use drones "to identify deforested areas, environmental violations, illegal fisheries and irregularly burned crops", says Gustavo more...

"Engineering the Future"

"Engineering the Future"

belfercenter.ksg.harvard.edu –

The rise of emerging markets is heralded as a force that will change the global balance of power. But behind the rise of the new economies lies a strong commitment to leveraging engineering as a foundation for economic transformation. Engineering provides the basic foundations for economic growth such as energy, transportation, irrigation, and telecommunications. Yet the men and women who build and maintain these systems are hardly recognized. The announcement of the inaugural Queen Elizabeth more...

Monitor your surroundings with these sensors

Monitor your surroundings with these sensors

flowingdata.com –

It wasn't long ago that sensors and personal tracking seemed like pure nerdery. New tracking devices pop up regularly these days. They're built and designed for a wider audience, and sometimes to my surprise, the devices are embraced by the target audience. It started with personal trackers that are fitness and health-related, but people are branching out now to monitoring their surroundings. CubeSensors (shown above) are available this summer and promise to "continuously measure temperature, more...

A dynamic mapping of the UK’s creative industries

A dynamic mapping of the UK’s creative industries

nesta.org.uk –

This paper argues that, despite its strengths, the UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) classification of the creative industries contains inconsistencies which need to be addressed to make it fully fit for purpose. It presents an improved methodology which retains the strengths of the DCMS's approach while addressing its deficiencies. We focus on creative intensity: the proportion of total employment within an industry that is engaged in creative occupations.

Systems Innovation Discussion Paper

Systems Innovation Discussion Paper

nesta.org.uk –

Over the past few years there has been growing interest in systemic innovation. We are defining this as an interconnected set of innovations, where each influences the other, with innovation both in the parts of the system and in the ways in which they interconnect. Yet rather than simply theorising, we want to make this practical. We want to explore the potential of systemic innovation to help tackle some of the key challenges the UK currently faces, from supporting an ageing population to more...

Engineering capacity needs in Sub Saharan Africa

Engineering capacity needs in Sub Saharan Africa

raeng.org.uk –

Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) has a significant lack of engineering capacity that is hindering progress towards achieving development goals, from the provision of basic sanitation to the reduction of rural poverty. This lack of capacity manifests in a shortage of engineers with the skills and experience needed. This is the key message of a report by the Africa-UK Engineering for Development Partnership (A-UK) of which the Royal Academy of Engineering is a partner. The report was launched on Monday more...

Unpacking the International Technology Transfer Debate: Fifty Years and Beyond

Unpacking the International Technology Transfer Debate: Fifty Years and Beyond

This paper examines technology transfer and technology accumulation for development since the 1960s, with the aim of generating constructive dialogue on the subject. The authors ask whether debates over technology transfer cater to developing countries' needs, and review how knowledge of capacity for technological innovation has changed over the past few decades. They also ask how international negotiations over technology transfer can reflect lessons learnt about how countries build more...

Kazakhstan taps scholars to change how research grants are awarded

Kazakhstan taps scholars to change how research grants are awarded

baltimorepostexaminer.com –

"President Nursultan Nazarbayev has long wanted more of Kazakhstan’s scientific research turned into products that spur the economy and create good jobs. "A new center in Astana is helping the country realize that goal by introducing an international system for evaluating research proposals....... "Besides ensuring that applied-science projects get more consideration, another objective of the center is ensuring that research grants are awarded on merit and not cronyism — or whom a researcher more...

Mountain Roads Trigger Longterm Consequences in Southeast Asia

news.mongabay.com –

The rapid expansion of roads across the rural mountains of Southeast Asia often triggers unintended environmental consequences that in many cases undermine the socioeconomic benefits, according to an article in the journal Nature Geoscience. While international organizations have supported “aggressive” efforts to expand road networks to increase agricultural development, trade, and tourism in remote regions, poorly designed mountain roads can cause landslides, soil erosion, and increased more...

D - L I B M A G A Z I N E Special Issue on Mining Scientific Publications

networkedblogs.com –

Digital libraries that store scientific publications are becoming increasingly important in research. They are used not only for traditional tasks such as finding and storing research outputs, but also as sources for discovering new research trends and evaluating research excellence. The rapid growth in the number of scientific publications being deposited in digital libraries is making it no longer sufficient to provide access to content only. It is equally important to improve the processes more...

Uncovering the world's 'unseen' science

Uncovering the world's 'unseen' science

"Global comparisons of scientific output are commonplace. As non-experts, policymakers and administrators must rely on indexes of impact and recognition — counts of published papers and citations, and the prestige of source journals — to assess the impact of public spending and to allocate research funds....... "In a recent study we counted more than 15,000 scientific periodicals among the 'BRIC' countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China), of which just 495 — about 3 per cent — are listed in more...

Facilitating Medical Device Innovation: De Novo Reform

Facilitating Medical Device Innovation: De Novo Reform

pewhealth.org –

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) places devices into three classifications based on the level of risk they pose to the patient: Class I for low risk, Class II for medium risk, and Class III for high risk. FDA requires different levels of evidence on safety and effectiveness for each class. For example, Class III devices generally have a higher evidence burden than those in Classes I or II. Under current law, any novel device (i.e., one not substantially equivalent to an existing more...
