Elephant Seals
In-depth documentation of the diving, foraging, and migratory behavior of a superlative marine mammal, based on 50 years of study.
Developing University-Industry Relations
Developing University-Industry Relations draws on the experiences of some of the most renowned research universities on the U.S. West Coast and in Canada. Each campus has a solid record of providing a vital resource for the growth of their regional economies through innovative technology transfer and commercialization initiatives with companies such as Hewlett-Packard, Google, Discovery Parks, and Cohen-Boyer. In this book, the authors offer a wealth of exemplary best practices and proven strategies from these forward-thinking institutions. They show what it takes to sustain strong university-industry collaborations that will allow for successful technology transfer.
Primate Politics
The first book to focus on the political behavior of primates also undertakes to compare human social behavior with that of nonhuman primates. The editors contribute probing introductory essays to each of the three major parts of the volume in addition to their article-length introductory and concluding chapters. In his conclusion, Masters indicates directions for future work. Part I is devoted to theoretical clarification of the interrelationships between the study of primates and humans. Part II presents two examples of comparisons between animal and human social behavior that throw valuable light on contemporary political and social systems. Part III focuses more precisely on contemporary human politics, providing two concrete examples of ethological perspectives on human political behavior. In both cases, nonverbal cues studied by primatologists are shown to illuminate the dynamics of human politics. Contributors include: Nicholas G. Blurton-Jones, Frans B. M. de Waal, Basil G. Englis, Jane Goodall, Bruno Latour, Roger D. Masters, Gregory J. McHugo, Elise F. Plate, Thelma E. Rowell, Glendon Schubert, James N. Schubert, Shirley S. Strum, and Denis G. Sullivan.
Knowledge Production in European Universities
The book studies transformations of European universities in the context of globalization and Europeanization, the questioning of the foundations of the «Golden Age» of the Keynesian welfare state, public sector reforms, demographic changes, the massification and diversification of higher education, and the emergence of knowledge economies. Such phenomena as academic entrepreneurialism and diversified channels of knowledge exchange in European universities are linked to transformations of the state and changes in public sector services. The first, contextual part of the book studies the changing state/university relationships, and the second, empirically-informed part draws from several recent large-scale comparative European research projects.
Wissens- und Technologietransfer durch Hochschulen aus einer marktorientierten Perspektive
Die Arbeit ermittelt als Zielsetzung Ansatzpunkte dafür, wie Prozesse des Hochschul-Wissens- und Technologietransfers (WTT) erfolgreich gestaltet werden können. Sie beleuchtet Transferaktivitäten aus einer explizit marktorientierten Perspektive und leistet damit einen maßgeblichen Theoriebeitrag. Ausgehend von theoretischen Bezugsgrundlagen der Netzwerkanalyse, nationaler Innovationssysteme, der Wissenserzeugung „Mode 2“ sowie des Triple Helix-Konzepts wird ein konzeptioneller Bezugsrahmen für Hochschul-Wissens- und Technologietransfer erarbeitet. Auf dessen Grundlage sowie unter Hinzuziehung von Erkenntnissen (modell-)theoretischer Ausführungen zum Transfer und zu Aspekten des Dienstleistungsmarketing wird im nächsten Schritt ein modulares Transfergerüst zur Prozesserfassung und -abbildung entwickelt. Dessen Schwerpunkte werden im Rahmen zweier sich anschließender Empirien vertiefend betrachtet. Auf Basis der konzeptionellen und empirischen Erkenntnisse werden finale Thesen zur Optimierung des (Hochschul-)Wissens- und Technologietransfers im Sinne erfolgreicher Transferprozesse abgeleitet.
