Best.-Nr. A9780309216401Paperback / softback. New. The globalization of science engineering and medical research is proceeding rapidly. The globalization of research has important implications for the U.S. research enterprise for the U.S. government agencies academic institutions and companies that support and perform research and for the world at large. As science and technology capabilities grow around the world U.S.-based organizations are finding that international collaborations and partnerships provide unique opportunities to enhance research and training. At the same time significant obstacles exist to smooth collaboration across national borders. Enhancing international collaboration requires recognition of differences in culture legitimate national security needs and critical needs in education and training. In response to these trends the Government-University-Industry Research Roundtable GUIRR launched a Working Group on International Research Collaborations I-Group in 2008 following its meeting on New Partnerships on a Global Platform that June. As part of I-Group's continuing effort a workshop on Examining Core Elements of International Research Collaboration was held July 26-27 2010 in Washington DC. One primary goal of the workshop is to better understand the risks involved in international research collaboration for organizations and individual participants and the mechanisms that can be used to manage those risks. Issues to be addressed in the workshop include the following: 1 Cultural Differences and Nuances; 2 Legal Issues and Agreements; 3 Differences in Ethical Standards; 4 Research Integrity and the Responsible Conduct of Research; 5 Intellectual Property; 6 Risk Management; 7 Export Controls; and 8 Strategies for Developing Meaningful International Collaborations. The goal for the workshop and the summary Examining Core Elements of International Research Collaboration is to serve as an information resource for participants and others interested in international research collaborations. It will also aid I-Group in setting its future goals and priorities. paperback
1996Best.-Nr. 251007REB0063030New Haven; London: Yale University Press 1996. Hardcover. Good Condition. 21.5 x 14.5 x 2.2 cm. Dust jacket is fully intact only lightly rubbed at edges. Previous owner's name on first inside page. Internally clean and unmarked with uncreased pages. Otherwise sound and serviceable. Publisher's note: In this highly original study Nuccio Ordine uses the figure of the ass as a lens through which to focus on the thought and writings of the great Renaissance humanist philosopher Giordano Bruno. The donkey played a prominent role as a symbol in sixteenth-century literature and the ass and human asininity became a recurring motif in Bruno's writings. Ordine offers the first analysis of Bruno's use of this complex symbol which encompasses contradictory characteristics ranging from humble and hardworking to ignorant and idle. The result is a deeper understanding of Bruno the philosopher along with a stronger appreciation of Bruno the literary artist. Ordine looks especially closely at Bruno's use of the figure of the donkey in his attacks on the theologies of both the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation and in issues that have become modernist concerns. Ordine's analysis sheds light on each of the major themes of Bruno's philosophy: science and knowledge myth and religion language and literature.
