Nimodipine, a typical calcium antagonist, can cross the blood-brain barrier and act selectively at neurons and blood vessels of target tis-sues, thus exerting neuroprotective effects. The aim of the present study was to explore the hot spots and future trends of research on the neuroprotective effects of nimodipine. We retrieved 425 articles on the neuroprotective effects of nimodipine that were indexed in the Web of the Science database between 2000 and 2014. The retrieved articles were analyzed using document analysis reporting and the derived information function in the Web of Science, and the infor-mation visualization software CiteSpace III. The reference co-citation network was plotted, and the high frequency key words in these publications were used to analyze the research fronts and development trends for nimodipine neuroprotection. According to these co-citation clusters, the research front of nimodipine neuroprotection is the use of randomized controlled trials to study nimodipine intervention of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Using time zone view analysis on hot spots labeled with a key word, the areas of interest in the ifeld of nimodipine neuroprotection are nimodipine pharmacology and therapeutics, blood-brain barrier, trials, and anti-angiospasm.展开更多

Water activities, whether water use, to protect against harmful effects of water or water protection, must be based on modem scientific achievements and modem technologies. Starting from the importance of water management, the Republic of Serbia in the past 40 years has provided certain support to basic and applied research in scientific disciplines within water management, energy, agriculture, construction, traffic and other branches. On the basis of these researches, new technology has been acquired, new technological processes have been developed, the technologies of design, construction and management of water management facilities and systems have been improved, devices and equipment have been developed, etc.. Scientific research work in the field of water management in Serbia took its place and was to a certain extent coordinated with the development policy of water management and other economic branches. However, it is evident that scientific and technological development did not follow the upward trend, development did not include water management as an economy branch as a whole, it was not based on the long-term water management development program and it did not have a continuous funding policy. Due to the lack of a long-term water management policy and the appropriate support (institutional and financial) for the implementation of this policy, scientific research in the field of water management has lost a step in relation to the developed countries of the world. Bearing in mind all the problems and plans for the development of water management, which are set out in the Water Management Plan of the Republic of Serbia, it is necessary to adopt a strategic plan for the development of water management, and within this framework, the strategic program of scientific research activities in the following period.展开更多

The creation of know-how and self-development of technologies should reduce the dependence on industrialized countries for both materials and knowledge. This work presents technological and social issues related to the construction of a low budget solar laboratory in Mozambique. The goal is to demonstrate that scientific level research can be carried out in developing countries by using affordable solutions without sacrificing quality of the results. For this investigation, a solar laboratory was built in 2011 at Universidade Eduardo Mondlane of Maputo. The laboratory enables measurements?to evaluate solar?thermal and?photovoltaic-thermal?hybrid collectors.?Thanks to the?flexibility of the system,?students and teaching staff can?add/remove equipment and develop customised local research programs. In addition, a course on the principles of solar energy and collector simulation for local students was taught. The needed data acquisition devices usually used in Europe were compared with cheaper and easy-maintenance ones. Calibration and estimation of the uncertainty were successfully performed. Approximately 9% of inaccuracy in the measurement was introduced by the cheaper equipment, but the investment cost was reduced by more than 90%. Other issues, results and future recommendations are shown.展开更多
