Peer Reviewed ; The aim of this research is to achieve a better understanding of the processes underlying knowledge transfer (KT) in social sciences and humanities (SSH). The paper addresses: first, the extent of SSH research groups' engagement in KT and the formal KT activities used to interact with non-academic communities; and second, how the characteristics of research groups may influence engagement in various types of KT. The empirical analysis is at research group level using data derived from a questionnaire of SSH research groups belonging to the Spanish Council for Scientific Research (CSIC). We find that KT activities are based on relational rather than commercial activities. The most frequent relational activities in which SSH research groups engage are consultancy and contract research. We find also that the characteristics of research groups (e.g. size and multidisciplinarity) and individuals (e.g. academic status and star scientist) are associated with involvement in KT activities and that a deliberate focus on the societal impacts and relevance of the research conducted is strongly related to active engagement of research groups in all the modes of KT considered in this study. From a managerial perspective, our findings suggest that measures promoting a focus on the societal impact of research could enhance research groups' engagement in KT activities. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.

A system to interrogate photonic sensors based on long weak fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is illustrated and experimentally demonstrated. The FBG sensor is able to detect and measure the precise location of several spot events. The principle of operation is based on a technique used to analyze microwave photonics filters. The long weak FBGs are used as quasi-distributed sensors. Several events can be detected along the FBG device with a spatial accuracy of <1 mm using a modulator and a photodetector with a modest bandwidth of <500 MHz. The simple proposed scheme is intrinsically robust against environmental changes and easy to reconfigure.
