Prestige in American universities

Prestige hierarchies, common to all organizations, are considered for positions at a university. Davis and Moore (1945) have called such stratification in any social system a universal necessity. Using procedures developed to measure prestige of occupations in national surveys, the attribution of prestige attached to university positions was determined. One hundred and eight positions were scaled, and the scale's validity and underlying scaling criteria were evaluated. It appears that university prestige is a microcosm of national prestige, and seems to have a similar socioeconomic base.     

创新学术组织应对技术会聚

技术会聚已成为目前科技发展的必然趋势。为应对技术会聚,大学学术组织应有所创新。大学学术组织应是多元、复合、并存、互补的组织系统,应有竞争、开放、流动、高效的运行机制,应有科学整合、开放共享的资源高效管理模式。     

双道原子荧光光谱法同时测定饮用水中的砷和汞

利用氢化物发生-原子荧光分析技术，对自来水样品中的砷、汞联合测定方法进行了有益的探索，通过一系列条件实验，设定出了合理有效的水样前处理方法、仪器测定条件以及主要试剂的浓度，砷和汞的相关系数分别为0．9995和0．9990，相对标准偏差分别为4．9％和6．8％，最低检出限分别为0．23和0．05μg/L。结果表明，该方法用于水样中汞、砷元素的同时测定具有很好的可行性和适用性。     

Selected physiological and perceptual responses during a simulated limited overs century in non-elite batsmen

Few studies have examined the impact of an increased physical demand on batting performance, especially over extended periods of play. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the physiological and perceptual responses of batsmen scoring a simulated limited overs century, and to link these to sprint times and accuracy of the impact of the ball on the bat. Seventeen male, university level cricketers, performed a batting protocol (BATEX^©), typical of a limited overs century. The protocol consisted of six stages, each of five overs, with each stage matched to a specific phase of play. Throughout the protocol heart rate (HR), central ratings of perceived effort (RPE), sprint times and impact accuracy were recorded. HR fluctuated as a function of exercise intensity (124.16–159.61?bpm). Central RPE increased as a function of intensity and duration (11.87–16.04). Sprint times got slower over time (5.67–5.81?s), while impact accuracy improved significantly (p?.05) after stage one and then plateaued for the remainder of the protocol (64.81–57.39?mm). In conclusion, the protocol significantly impacted cardiac strain and perceptual responses negatively impacting sprint times with an improvement in batting accuracy.

A cross-cultural perspective on televised political advertising during the presidential election between the US and South Korea: 1992–2012

Our study was motivated by the fact that, despite the increasing pervasiveness of political advertising in the political process of many democracies, little empirical research has been conducted to unveil common patterns or crucial differences of political spots across cultural boundaries. Our study thus provided one opportunity to gain better understanding and insights into how media phenomena are related to cultural orientation by comparing and contrasting the content of political spots across the United States and South Korea. In particular, this study analyzed verbal components of political spots in both US and Korean presidential elections over the past 20 years. To the extent that clear differences exist between American and Korean cultural patterns, political spots, which are a conspicuous indicator of cultural values, appear to manifest these differences quite strongly. The findings of this study provide evidence that political advertising primarily reflects the uniqueness of indigenous cultures.
