此教授为 Dr Alirio Melendez,是一名免疫方面的专家,几年前在新加坡国立大学工作(Department of Physiology, National University of Singapore, Singapore),现在英国University of Liverpool 工作。在两大重量级生物期刊Nature和Science发表了败血症方面(generalised blood infections called sepsis)的里程碑式论文(其研究课题英文简介链接: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110308101325.htm )。 但是,由于后继的研究重复不出结果进而被怀疑数据有问题,其Nature文章已经近期撤稿( Nature文章链接: http://www.nature.com/ni/journal/v12/n4/full/ni.2004.html )。 Science期刊正等待相关单位调查其所发文章数据问题的最终结论: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2011/10/03/science.1214735.abstract 【In the 4 June 2010 issue, Science published the Report “SphK1 regulates proinflammatory responses associated with endotoxin and polymicrobial sepsis” by P. Puneet et al. . On 22 March 2011, Science learned that authorities at the authors' principal institutions at the time of publication and the corresponding author's more recent affiliation were investigating allegations of figure manipulation in the Science Report. The investigation has not yet reached a conclusion. Pending the results of the investigations, Science is publishing this Editorial Expression of Concern to alert our readers to the fact that serious questions have been raised about the validity of findings in the Puneet et al. paper.】 Science文章链接: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/328/5983/1290 同时,这两篇文章的第一作者均为Padmam Puneet,目前亦跟随Dr Alirio Melendez在英国工作。 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888 NUS prof investigated for research fraud By Yahoo!

Newsroom - 8 hours ago NUS prof investigated for research fraud Yahoo! Newsroom - 9 hours ago An anonymous tip-off has led to a former National University of Singapore (NUS) professor being investigated for creating false research data. According to The Sunday Times , Dr Alirio Melendez, an immunology researcher, had published two papers in top journals about breakthroughs leading to better treatments of generalised blood infections called sepsis. But NUS and the other universities involved in the research are retracting these papers. One of them, an immunology article published in Nature , has been retracted following irregularities identified in some figures in the paper, according to the journal. In addition, "serious questions have been raised about the validity of findings" in the other paper, published in Science , and it will be retracted soon. Dr Melendez was the corresponding author in both papers, which means he led the research efforts and acted as guarantor of the work, involving nine universities, departments and organisations from Singapore, Britain, Germany and Switzerland. In Singapore, the eight researchers involved include scientists, academics, research fellows and students from NUS and DSO National Laboratories . Publishing research in such top-tier journals can boost a scientist's career, and the number of high-impact publications is a key way in which individuals and organisations are evaluated. NUS has started an exercise to relook around 70 other papers -- all the work ever done by the scientist and his team. A high-level panel, including professors experienced in dealing with research fraud, is conducting investigation. Professor Barry Halliwell, the deputy president of research and technology at NUS, told the same paper, "Our focus is on being extremely thorough and dealing with the situation in the best possible way, being fair and transparent, and working according to international standards." Melendez, who joined the university a decade ago and left to take up professorships in Britain in 2009, could not be reached for comment. The University of Liverpool, where he is currently working at, said he has been suspended without prejudice, pending the outcome of the inquiry. @yahooSG on Twitter, become a fan on Facebook
2011年6月27日在新加坡先进技术材料国际会议(ICMAT2011)上,英国 汤森路透集团( Thomson-Reuters ) 研究评价所长所长Jonathan Adams 发表了题为 "Evidence-based Insights into the Global Trend and Hot Spots of Research in Materials Science." 他说,材料科学是科学技术增长最快的领域之一,材料科学的论文 数量增长 比其他领域更快。最大的变化是在论文作者地理分布。从 约11,500 顶级期刊的数据分析来看,尤其是亚太地区增长最快。从 2005 到2009年,中国发表了约 53,000 篇材料科学论文,美国 38,000 篇, 日本25,000 , 德国17,000。中国每年在材料领域发表约 14,000 篇论文, 日本 4,000篇。尽管亚洲论文产量最大,但美国论文被引最多。 现在国内召开的材料科学方面的国际会议很多,据我所知,2011年就有不少于10个。在这些会议上发表的大量论文毫无疑问也会使我国论文数虚高,而其质量亟待提高。
下面列举若干空化领域内高水平的学术会议。 专业论坛 专门的空化类论坛,名家云集。 International symposium on cavitation. 每3年召开一次,始于1986,基本是全世界空化领域的学者都会参加,人气越来越高,下一届2012年(第八届)在新加坡。 14th - 16th August 2012 http://www.cav2012.sg/ WIMRC international cavitation forum 每2-3年召开一次,与上述CAV会议时间错开。每届均在英国华威大学召开,主席为李胜才老师(博主导师)。2006年召开第一届以来,名气快速提升,很多的著名学者,加州理工的Brennen,华盛顿大学的Crum,明尼苏达大学大学的Ardnt等都会来。下一届2011年7月。 4-6 July 2011,University of Warwick, Coventry, UK http://web.wimrc.org.uk/news-a-events-/cavitation-forum-2011 - 交叉学科 空泡动力学和声学等学科有很多交叉的地方,例如很多重要的偏声学方面的空泡动力学的文章都发表在美国声学会会刊(JASA)上。与空化相关的超声治疗的手段促进了很多相关学科的发展,尤其2000年以后,通过空化来传输基因和药物的技术得到很多学者的重视,成为研究的热点,同时也出现了一些空泡和医学,生物学,化学等学科交叉的会议。下面列举一些相关会议。 International conference of multiphaseflow (ICMF) 3年一次,多相流方面的顶级会议,一般要开近一个星期,很多研究空化的学者会参加。下一届2013在亚洲。 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium IEEE的年会,文章涉及声致空化,超声传感器设计,相关应用等。 October 18-21, 2011 Portopia Hotel, Kobe, Japan http://ewh.ieee.org/conf/ius_2011/amelie/index.html Symposium on Nonlinear Acoustics 大概3年一次,非线性声学。 19th International Symposium on Nonlinear Acoustics (ISNA) will be held in Tokyo, Japan, from July 24 to 28, 2011, at the International Conference Center of Waseda University. http://www.isna19.com/# International symposiumfor Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU) 年会,超声治疗方面的顶级论坛,里面有很多关于空化效应及其应用的讨论。 April 14-17, 2011, Marriott Marquis, New York, NY 其他类 下面列举一些物理和声学类的高水平的年会等,里面也有很多关于空化的Section。 American Physical Society (APS) APS Fluid dynamics division annual meeting APS March Meeting:March 21-25, 2011, Dallas, TX Acoustical society of American 161st Meeting, Seattle, Washington, 23-27 May 2011 162nd Meeting, San Diego, California, 31 October 4 November 2011 ASME Fluids Engineering Summer Meeting (FEDSM)
Seeking a Postdoctoral Associate for the MIT-Singapore MIT Alliance for Research Technology (SMART) program - a unique world-class multi-disciplinary research initiative with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Singapore to explore new biomaterials systems for cellular and tissue engineering and fundamental biological understanding of disease. The postdoctoral position would be co-supervised by Prof. Linda Griffith at MIT, Prof. Paula Hammond at MIT, and Prof. Mary B.E. Chan at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, and would be located at the MIT-SMART research facilities in Singapore and NTU. Outstanding questions in the field of MSC biology revolve around the synergistic roles of autocrine and paracrine growth factors and extracellular matrix chemical composition and stiffness on growth, migration, and differentiation of stem cells. In this project, advanced 2D and 3D processing methods developed in the M.B.E.Chan/Hammond labs will be adapted to both existing hydrogel materials and new materials to create niches for MSC in the Griffith lab. An advantage of the approaches is the ability to pattern large areas with fidelity using robust processing methods. New opportunities to design biomaterials that can act as sensing matrices for these cell arrays will be explored, with the ability to make new gel materials and use nanomaterials assembly and microfabrication to develop responsive systems to cells in adult stem cells in culture. Applicants should have a PhD with a strong background in polymer and materials science, with a background in biomaterials preferred. Some polymer synthetic capabilities are preferred, and background in microfabrication or nano- to micron scale materials assembly is welcomed. All applicants should have a strong research record and high degree of enthusiasm for the design of new biomaterials systems and a desire to work in a multi-disciplinary group. For inquiries, please send to Prof Paula Hammond ( Hammond@mit.edu ) and Prof Mary Chan ( mbechan@ntu.edu.sg )
把上一篇博文的2010年新加坡量子技术研究年度报告浏览了一遍:显然,数学、物理和计算机对量子技术产生直接影响;欧洲的化学家怎样在无线量子信道里产生作用,也许直接体现在高速材料的应用方面?很难想象这样的材料,更何况实验和实现。期待结果,最近“Diamonds shine in quantum networks ”还比较吸引眼球。 觉得自己比较幸运的是:对贝叶斯模型的应用研究没有跑偏,一定要感谢 何毓琦 院士几年前的指点。新加坡量子技术研究年度报告从26页开始专门提及了他们09年在NATURE上的一篇文章:“Information causality as a physical principle”,使得贝叶斯模型应用得到证明。非参数贝叶斯除了MIT和剑桥的认知科学相关实验室相对热门 :技术报告里的聚类网络模型可以归到这一类,也需要应用者广泛在各种实现里展示。因果加一定的限制成为信念网,到处在应用,特别是社交与社会关系网络。但是从理论的角度,更希望有技术的应用,随量子网络的不断浮出水面,理论和技术也可以更好的融合。(这段时间的量子应用证明:录用我贝叶斯模型下的密码应用文章是正确的,自己也很高兴而且有了信心:-) 随着对时间的控制,很多人同意:没人能够确定理解量子体制(Page24,para 1)。如果量子技术注定成为应用主流,一定有大家喜欢的产品或者技术展示出来。意外的收获是,贝叶斯模型也可以在量子技术研究里使用! 正在为 International Journal of Information and Computer Security 审理一篇计算机取证的文章,文章还达不到IJICS的品质,所以,评价不高。但是想到自己以前开始写文章时候的情况,又觉得应该把这篇文章推荐到其他地方,也许作者可以从 ISIP 国际会议开始试一试。取证这类的文章如果跳出法律和犯罪的圈子,可以升到很不错的级别。顺便冒泡:上述工作进行得非常辛苦,花了两晚的时间修理邮箱和邮件,结果关掉了所有360的防火墙(以前没影响),得以继续。
如果说新加坡是花园城市,那么新加坡国立大学(National University of Singapore (NUS))可名副其实称为花园大学。短短地一周访问,不说办学理念、教研水平、师生风貌或室内的设施,单是校园风光就让我迷恋不已。时间太短,学校的内涵我只有感性而无法深入探讨,我只能用我的相机留下她的秀丽倩影与大家分享(这里选贴,相册里更多)。回看照片,我惊奇地发现,人非常少,大概室外炎热,人都呆在屋里吧,也可能是我拍照的时间是星期天上午的缘故。而我自己一周的感觉也是那里没有国内大学那种熙熙攘攘,而是安静、恬雅。
比较而言,科学界是个经常会有国际交流的“界”,比科学界还国际的也许就是外交部和国际贸易机构了。 首先,在美国的华人学者一堆一堆的,好像每个科学网的人都有个“美国亲戚”似的。 其次,在日本的学者是两堆两堆的,我“最喜欢”的庆丰兄现在就在日本感受地震。 第三,加拿大这个枫叶之国,欢迎赖昌星去,也欢迎中国学者前往,这个国家的中国学者也多得很。 除了待在当地工作或访问的华人,其实因为开会或者转机而路过的情况也会有。 YC去了肯尼亚,哇,这样的国家都有去呀,真不容易。小苗去过越南,在新加坡读的博士。 是不是科学网上的人已经去过所有国家了呀?二傻包办了一半? 那么,还有哪些国家我们科学网人未曾去过呢? 俺特别想知道。尤其,欢迎你提供自己去过古怪名字国家的经历。 以下, X 表示有科学网友去过。 Afghanistan 阿富汗 喀布尔 西南亚

参考消息: 新加坡海峡时报:浙大跻身中国“亿万富豪大学”前三! Copyright 2011 Singapore Press Holdings Limited All Rights Reserved The Straits Times (Singapore) February 24, 2011 Thursday 874 words http://www6.lexisnexis.com/publisher/EndUser?Action=UserDisplayFullDocumentorgId=574topicId=100016870docId=l:1365424741isRss=true Zhejiang among 'billionaire varsities'; The partner of fourth S'pore varsity ranks third in China for producing rich alumni Ho Ai Li, China Correspondent BEIJING: A key partner of Singapore's fourth public-funded university has been ranked third in China in terms of producing billionaires. Zhejiang University, which is in a tie-up with the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), has come in at No. 3 in the league of Chinese varsities with the richest alumni. It is just behind China's best colleges, Peking University and Tsinghua University, in the billionaire alumni sweepstakes. Some 66 billionaires came from Zhejiang, compared to 79 and 70 from Peking and Tsinghua, respectively, in the study released last month by the China University Alumni Association and local media partners. Zhejiang is way ahead of Shanghai's Fudan University, in fourth place with 46 billionaires. It also has the most generous alumni in China, said the same study, which traced the schools of about 2,000 Chinese billionaires, who have a net worth of at least a billion yuan (S $194 million) each. Universities which did well tend to be comprehensive ones that aim to produce scientists, politicians as well as businessmen, noted the researchers of the report. 'Zhejiang University is a five-star university with a first-class teaching team and scholars of global renown. It is a comprehensive varsity outstanding for grooming talent and contributing to science,' Dr Feng Yongjun, one of the researchers, told The Straits Times. The area where a college is located also plays a part, he noted. Those in the top 10 tend to be in prosperous cities or regions such as Beijing, Shanghai or Guangdong, with more business opportunities. Zhejiang is based in Hangzhou, capital of coastal Zhejiang province, which is known for entrepreneurship. 'The province has a culture of commerce and many small and medium enterprises,' said Professor Chen Jin, deputy dean of Zhejiang University's undergraduate school. It is famous for producing computer and textile tycoons alike. The wealthiest of them all is former tailor Zhou Chengjian, 45, the man behind the popular Metersbonwe casual wear brand found in cities across China. Mr Zhou, who did an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) course at Zhejiang, was No. 15 on the Forbes 2010 list of the 400 richest Chinese, with an estimated net worth of US $3.6 billion (S $4.5 billion). He is from the Class of 2004. Others on the list include Mr Duan Yongping, 50, an engineering graduate from the Class of 1978 who founded the Bu Bu Gao Electronics Group; and Mr Tian Ning, 34, a zoology graduate from the Class of 1997. Mr Tian is behind Zhejiang Panshi Information Technology Co which sells computers as well as online advertising. 'In our curriculum, we also emphasise innovation and entrepreneurship,' said Prof Chen. For the past 10 years, the university has been offering a 'mini MBA' course to 60 talented undergraduates each year. Through classes, internships and networking sessions, students get to hone their business skills, he added. It also offers seed money to students who aspire to start their own ventures. Right now, less than 3 per cent of Zhejiang graduates become bosses and the university wants to bump it up to 5 per cent, he added. In its partnership with the SUTD, lecturers from Zhejiang University will fly to Singapore to teach classes in areas such as design, entrepreneurship and urban planning. 'We'd have special lessons on how to set up businesses in China. We hope to transmit the Chinese elements in our lessons,' Prof Chen said. Students will be able to apply for internships of eight weeks with companies in Zhejiang. The SUTD is slated to open its doors next year. hoaili@sph.com.sg Wealthy alumni = good varsity? Rankings rankle IS IT right to rank universities by the number of rich graduates they have? Some in China have criticised a recent ranking of universities for promoting the wrong values, Xinhua reported. The emergence of the wealthy has come about due to China's reforms and opening up in the past 30 years and is not a direct result of brand-name schools or knowledge, Renmin University academic Zhou Xiaozheng told the state news agency. There were about 2,000 individuals with a net worth of at least a billion yuan (S $190 million) each as of the end of 2009, according to the Hurun Report. How many of these billionaires owe their riches to the universities they attended, or was it a case of billionaires going to the universities to get their academic laurels, asked Beijing's Jinghua News in an editorial. Professor Chen Jin, deputy dean of Zhejiang University's undergraduate school, thinks there is nothing wrong in ranking universities according to the number of billionaire alumni they produce. 'Creating wealth is not a bad thing. Universities should also contribute to the creation of wealth.' Dr Feng Yongjun, one of the researchers behind the ranking, told The Straits Times the ranking of rich alumni was just one of several indicators to assess universities. Other indicators include the number of scientists or political figures produced. World-class universities such as Harvard and Yale in the US are also known for their rich and generous alumni, said Dr Feng, who is from Xiamen University. 'World-class universities are also first-class in creating wealth and in terms of alumni giving,' he said. HO AI LI February 23, 2011
