This article analyzes the current duopoly of the companies that manage the rankings of publications and how this dynamic affects the public university, in general, as well as the system of accreditation for faculty researcher in Spain. The critical reflection on the causes and consequences of this biased assessment model evidences collision between the political and academic imaginaries which promote hegemony of science over social sciences. In the same way, it reveals a geostrategic logic over representing scientific literature in English and a propensity for quantitative aspects in the global publishing trend. ; Este artigo analisa o duopólio atual das empresas que administram o ranking das publicações e como essa dinâmica influencia a Universidade pública em geral e o sistema de acreditação do pesquisador docente em Espanha em particular.

Throughout this internship, I, Abhi Pasupula, have worked with my internship mentor, Barry Federici, in order to help him start up a new service. This service is targeted specifically towards veterans and their paths in their lives after they retire from the military. The service is split up into two categories, those being Jobs and Veteran Benefits. Jobs entailed creating and implement a job board into our website for retired veterans to search for. Veteran benefits showcase a list of benefits that veterans are eligible for, divided up by Federal Benefits, State Benefits, Local Benefits, and a page for all available benefits. For the Job Board page on the website, we got into contact with a job board service known as Hiring Opps and spent many days working through the features and seeing which features would serve us the best for the website. In addition, we set up a Sandbox so that we could physically see the service in action. The benefits required more menial work, such as compiling the list of total benefits and categorizing them into states with links that lead to the state Veteran Benefits commission for more information. Once organized, the benefits were organized into 4 sections, each section having its own page on the website. Both of these websites were connected back to the original website, which served as a homepage for all the services. The homepage also had services to meet with my mentor, Mr. Federici. Working on both of these websites and services really opened my eyes to the professional world of Software Development, where there was so much more apart from just programming. Similar to this internship, the real world will require me to be able to voice my thoughts as well as put them down on paper and be able to explain them well to others, something that I believe this internship set me up for very well. ; https://digitalcommons.imsa.edu/intern_reports_2021/1004/thumbnail.jpg

The paper reports results of the detailed chemical modelling of isobaric deflagrations in stoichiometric H2-N2O-N2 mixtures (N2 = 20 - 60 vol%) at various initial temperatures (300 - 500 K) and various initial pressures (1 - 10 bar): laminar burning velocities, and profiles of temperature, volumetric heat release rate and species concentrations across the flame front. The dependence of the laminar burning velocity on temperature and pressure is examined by empirical power laws, for restricted ranges of pressure (or temperature) variation. For each examined composition, the laminar burning velocity correlates well with the volumetric rate of heat release and with the sum of mass fractions of reactive species in the flame front.
