    In terms of country based quotations ("Most scited countries") I cannot access space science, only Geosciences, Immunology, Material Science, and Psychiatry & Psychology. But when I first saw the list of countries at the left under "Impact in Science" I saw Argentinia was on top, and USA was on last position. Yes, I was surprised, until I realised that is was just an alphabetical order. Did you see the same list?
  •  
    scotland's a separate country. must be preparing for independence already. and it's highest percentage is for space science. crazy
  •  
    Dajan, you need to click on the country you are interested in ....
  •  
    Nooo, can't be THAT simple.
  •  
    data a bit old .... newer data (but less well presented) at http://sciencewatch.com/ there you can also read: "The 20th century was largely dominated by the US as a major powerhouse of scientific research and innovation, with 40% of the papers indexed in the Web of Science fielded by US scientists in the 1990s. By 2009, that figure was down to 29%. The US now struggles to keep pace with increased output from Europe and Asia."

    Interestingly, Space Science is the only field in which my country has positive "Impact vs. world" value (even more interestingly as we don't even have a proper national space agency)...
  •  
    this might also be an indication / point to an issue with their data concerning space science publications ... quite surprising indeed that all Europeans are doing so well in this field
  •  
    Something should be wrong, for Spain I can read: Economics & Business 4.54 -28 Only minus 28!

Noordwijk | Space Apps Challenge - 1 views

  • On the weekend of the 12 and 13 April 2014 ESA Business Incubation Centre Noordwijk and Verhaert Connect are proud to host the NASA International Space Apps Challenge in the European Space Innovation Centre Noordwijk.
  • Developers, designers, innovators all kinds of creative thinkers from all seven continents will come together for two days of creativity and computer coding to address challenges of global importance. This year we expect to have about 40 challenges that support NASA's mission directorates in five themes: Earth Watch, Technology in Space, Human Spaceflight, Robotics and Asteroids.
  •  
    "Developers, designers, innovators all kinds of creative thinkers" aka "nerd objective-C programmers with no life"?
  •  
    Well, the ACT actually proposed a few of the topics (BEWARE, THERE BE CUCUMBERS!). Some are not necessarily software based, like creating a LEGO model of the ExoMars rover (although they stripped LEGO from the challenge description and now it just says "create an ExoMars rover from hardware" ... ). Also we had no clue that they would host part of the challenge here at ESTEC - so our 5 or 6 challenges will all be hosted in Rome... ...

Arguments from Global Warming Skeptics and what the science really says - 1 views

  •  
    I think I posted this before (I think it was abt the iPod app) but regarding our discussion this afternoon it s a nice summary of the most frequent sceptic arguments...
  •  
    It's not easy not to be a global warming sceptic in a places like Noordwijk or Plymouth...

Exposure to Environmental Microorganisms and Childhood Asthma - NEJM - 0 views

  •  
    interesting currently only for some of you .... sorry for the others
  •  
    "environments that afford them a wide range of microbial exposures, such as traditional farms" == Noordwijk? In my former place we had horses and spiders but I don't know if that's enough to make it a farm...

    this is the infrastructure that satellites have to compete with ....

    the largest cable into the Netherlands comes in apparently at Katwijk - we should have super fast internet!!! :-)
  •  
    You mean: "then why don't we have super fast internet?" :-) If you zoom the map in, it's actually way past Noordwijk. My quess is this could be attached somewhere near the naval radio station area? This remembered me the good old times of bike trips in the dunes, eh...
  •  
    well, the description says clearly Katwijk; am quite sure that the maps are less accurate than the description ...
  •  
    I guess you are right... Is ACT already planning a find-and-cut expedition?
  •  
    now that we have the boat and thanks to Camilla it is still floating after the deluge ....
