Therefore, a careful selection of publication venues may help the Chinese universities to compete with world class universities and increase their research internationalization. We also find that the Chinese universities have relative low percentage of publications at high impact venues, which may be the reason that they are not receiving more citations. We find that Chinese universities are doing well in terms of publication volume but receive less citations from their published work. The comparison identifies the gap between Chinese universities and top-tier universities from selected regions across various subject areas. Using all of this data, we finally present an overall score called research performance point to measure the comprehensive research strength of the universities for the selected subject categories. Using these indicators, we first measure the quantity and quality of the research outcomes of the universities and then examine the internationalization of research by using international collaborations, international citations and international impact metrics. We have provided meaningful indicators to measure the research performance of Chinese universities as compared to world class universities of the US and the European region. This paper focuses on measuring the academic research performance of Chinese universities by using Scopus database from 2007 to 2010.

Measuring recent research performance for Chinese universities using bibliometric methods The main purpose of this study is to provide evidence that instructors can provide to their students to convince them that their time is better spent sleeping rather than studying all night before an exam. Sleep deprivation corresponded to lower final exam scores. At the end of the final exam, students reported the number of hours they slept the night before. The effect of inadequate sleep on exam performance was explored in a second-semester introductory physics course. After years of giving such advice to students at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), one of us decided to find out how many hours students actually do sleep the night before an exam, and how that would relate to their performance. Most physics instructors believe that adequate sleep is important in order for students to perform well on problem solving, and many instructors advise students to get plenty of sleep the night before an exam. Sleep and Final Exam Performance in Introductory PhysicsĬoletta, Vincent Wikholm, Colin Pascoe, Daniel This final report summarizes the accomplishments of the QUALIT project and explains changes to the technical focus of the project that, while significant, remained true to the overall project goal: to research, test, and deploy IP layer traffic differentiation to redress congestion-related end-to-end performance problems on key university-DOE lab paths. Significant progress has been made in both areas and, to both, QUALIT funding has been a key enabling resource. The QUALIT grant funded two broad categories of work: (1) Project-wide QBone engineering, instrumentation, and integration (2) Focused workshops and measurement work relating specifically to advanced university/DOE connectivity. QBone University and Lab Interconnect Testbed (QUALIT).

The PERI effort at Rice University focused on (1) research and development of tools for measurement and analysis of application program performance, and (2) engagement with SciDAC-2 application teams. PERI was an Enabling Technologies Institute of the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC-2) program supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Science Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program.
