The document discusses research governance in the United States. It describes the key government agencies that oversee research, including the Office of Science and Technology Policy, Office of Management and Budget, Congress, and research-focused agencies such as the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, NASA, and Department of Energy. It provides data on federal research spending by agency for fiscal year 2007, with over half of funds going to defense. Private universities like Harvard and MIT are also discussed, including their budgets, sources of funding, and research expenditures.

Impact of Microcredit on Agricultural Development in DistrictMastung Balochis...sanaullah noonari
Abstract- Balochistan Rural Support Programme (BRSP) is a non-governmental organization working in
rural areas of Balochistan province since 1983. Its head office is situated in Quetta, Baluchistan, Pakistan,
sub-office is located in Islamabad, and a number of district offices are located in various districts of
Balochistan. It is clear that majority of the respondents 90 percent of the sample were male and 10
percent were females in district Mastung Balochistan. The respondents 86.66 percent had availed the
loan facility only for once and that too for the first time. 11.66 percent had availed this facility twice and
only 11.66 percent of them took loan three times. The respondents 40.00% were 25000, 16.66% were
40000.00, 20.00% were 50000.00, 13.33% were 60000.00 and 10.00% were above 80000.00 rupees
amount loans. 30.00% were get for seed, 23.33% were Pesticide, 26.66% were Fertilizer and 16.66% were

Developing data services: a tale from two Oregon universitiesAmanda Whitmire
While the generation or collection of large, complex research datasets is becoming easier and less expensive all the time, researchers often lack the knowledge and skills that are necessary to properly manage them. Having these skills is paramount in ensuring data quality, integrity, discoverability, integration, reproducibility, and reuse over time. Librarians have been preserving, managing and disseminating information for thousands of years. As scholarly research is increasingly carried out digitally, and products of research have expanded from primarily text-based manuscripts to include datasets, metadata, maps, software code etc., it is a natural expansion of scope for libraries to be involved in the stewardship of these materials as well. This kind of evolution requires that libraries bring in faculty with new skills and collaborate more intimately with researchers during the research data lifecycle, and this is exactly what is happening in academic libraries across the country. In this webinar, two researchers-turned-data-specialists, both based in academic libraries, will share their experiences and perspectives on the development of research data services at their respective institutions. Each will share their perspective on the important role that libraries can play in helping researchers manage, preserve, and share their data.

Il fuoco della Terra dalla superficie al nucleo-Stefano Poli.Scienzainrete
Cosa conosciamo dell'interno del nostro Pianeta? L'accesso diretto alle viscere della Terra si limita a soli 11 km, lo 0.17% dei 6370 km del raggio terrestre.
Partendo dai vulcani, fuoco della Terra, finestre che si aprono verso l'interno del nostro Pianeta, raggiungeremo il nucleo terrestre attraverso un viaggio tra i testimoni rocciosi e minerali sopravvissuti alle condizioni estreme di alta pressione e temperatura, e simulazioni in laboratorio in grado di creare il fantastico mondo sotterraneo.
Giuseppe Brillante, giornalista e fotoreporter, e Stefano Brambilla, giornalista, autori del libro Birdwatching In Europa (Muzzio), illustrano alcune delle mete irrinunciabili dove osservare gli uccelli nel vecchio continente. Capiremo i trucchi per diventare birdwatcher provetti, senza dimenticare il galateo e il rispetto per l’ambiente.
Energy Efficient Wireless Internet AccessScienzainrete
Il consumo energetico è la questione del futuro. Dipendiamo sempre più da fonti di energia che scarseggiano. D'altro canto il consumo di energia ha influenze drammatiche sui cambiamenti climatici. E' necessario affrontare la questione della riduzione dei consumi, soprattuto nel settore delle comunicazioni. Qui presentati e analizzati i consumi della telefonia mobile e del network.
