概括
竞争性研究资金对科学产生负面影响,导致可预测和短视的工作而不是重大发现. 研究人员建议将重点从可疑的研究实践转移到解决由资金压力引起的系统性问题.
科学领域:
- 探讨研究资金,科学实践和在医疗科学,自然科学和人文科学等多个领域的诚信的交集.
背景情况:
- 研究诚信文献认为,资金是双重因素,可能会激励可疑的研究实践 (QRPs) 或促进诚信.
- 现有的研究主要集中在资助者的观点上,忽视了积极研究人员关于竞争性资金影响的经验.
研究的目的:
- 调查活跃研究人员对竞争性研究资金如何塑造科学努力及其意想不到的后果的观点.
- 根据国家,科学领域和职业阶段,探索这些经验的变化.
主要方法:
- 进行了一系列与两个不同资金竞争水平的国家的研究人员的小组会议.
- 包括来自医学科学,自然科学和人文学科的参与者,代表永久和临时就业.
主要成果:
- 所有研究小组的研究人员都报告说,资金竞争显著影响了科学,往往带来负面的,意想不到的结果.
- 这些后果与典型的QRP不同,表现为可预测,时尚,短视和过于有前途的研究.
- 科学的"投影化"阻碍了长期,高影响力的研究和未知的探索.
结论:
- 目前对QRP与资金相关的关注可能是错误的;来自资金竞争的系统问题更有问题.
- 需要改变政策重点,以解决当前研究资助环境造成的真正问题.
- 解决科学的"项目化"对于促进重大和有影响力的科学进步至关重要.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building
167
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Spanning Openings in Brick Walls
187
In brick wall construction, supporting structures are crucial for openings like windows and doors to maintain the integrity and support the weight of the wall above. These supports include lintels, corbels, and arches, each serving specific structural purposes.
Lintels are primary supports used to span openings and can be crafted from materials such as reinforced concrete, steel-reinforced brick masonry, or simple steel angles. These are straightforward to install and are typically concealed...

Masonry Curtain Walls
1.1K
Masonry curtain walls employ brick or stone veneers supported by the building's structure to form an external cladding system that is both aesthetically appealing and functional. These walls are erected through two principal techniques, first by traditional layering of masonry units and second by using prefabricated panels. Traditional construction relies on steel shelf angles attached to the spandrel beam for support, with high-bond mortars ensuring secure attachment of masonry veneer...

Composite Masonry Walls
1.2K
Composite masonry walls combine multiple wythes of the same or different masonry materials to create a unified structure. These walls feature wythes that are bonded together either through mortar-filled collar joints, grouted spaces, or more commonly, with rigid metal ties and reinforcements, with the use of masonry header units being rare. Metal ties are preferred because they effectively minimize water penetration, as these walls primarily absorb moisture and then release it into the...

Masonry
463
Masonry, known for its strength, durability, and aesthetic versatility, encompasses construction with solid stone or man-made units like bricks, clay tiles, terra cotta, and concrete blocks, combined to form structures like walls, floors, and arches. These units are placed in a systematic fashion, known as coursing, and are bound together using mortar—a mixture typically made of water, cement, and sand.
The process of building with masonry is hands-on and can be executed with basic tools....

Masonry Loadbearing Walls
116
Masonry load-bearing walls, constructed from materials like brick, stone, or concrete masonry units, serve as a crucial component in building structures by supporting the loads from floors and roofs and transferring them to the foundation. These walls, known for their compressive strength, can be reinforced or unreinforced to suit different building needs, accommodating both the dead and live loads while maintaining safety through lower working stresses compared to the materials' ultimate...
