This work, published in electronic form, compare the production, human and economical resources, productivities, and eficiencies in 5 research areas of Life & Health Sciences between research groups at the University of Barcelona (UB) and those at 4 Research Institutes of the CERCA (Centres de Recerca de Catalunya) network. Results show that contra...
Previous studies of rodent appendicular morphology suggest that digging activity induces changes in long bones, producing shorter and thicker structures. Subsequent hypotheses have been tested in Ctenomyinae, a group of octodontid rodents globally adapted to subterranean life. Slopes of the equations calculated for extant animals and their correspo...
A comparative study of the suction feeding strategies in Serranus cabrilla and Serranus scriba was carried out. Several specimens from both species were filmed at high speed. From these films, kinetics of the suction movements and dynamic parameters, such as volume increase/time, were calculated. A simulation model of the hydrodynamics of suction f...
The research activities at the University of Barcelona over the last ten years are used as a model for the application of both quantitative and qualitative methods of research evaluation in similar institutions. An analysis is included using certain input and output indicators that have been frequently accepted as tools for decision-making. Funding...
La investigación es susceptible de ser evaluada de la misma manera que lo son otras actividades intelectuales y profesionales. Se presentan unas consideraciones acerca de la evaluación concreta de la investigación en las Ciencias Sociales, en contraste con las evaluaciones habituales de las Ciencias Experimentales y de la Salud. Los indicadores son...
The allometric relations of diameter and length of humerus, ulna, femur, and tibia of 108 specimens, from 63 different breeds of dogs and 12 specimens of wolves, were calculated by means of model II of regression or major axis method. Only for the tibia were the values of wolves included in the cluster formed for dog breeds. Consequently, separate...
