Thoughts on Science and Technology Service in Provincial Agricultural Research Institutes under the New Normal:Taking Changli Institute of Pomology of Hebei Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences as an Example

In the context of the new normal of high-quality agricultural development,it is necessary to accelerate the comprehensive connection of scientific and technological services of provincial agricultural research institutes and industries,and mobilize the enthusiasm of scientific and technological service personnel.Under the new normal,traditional service types are single,technology promotion and training are becoming narrower and narrower.This article analyzed the problems in scientific and technological services of provincial agricultural research institutes,including lack of comprehensive demonstration bases,not close cooperation between scientific and technological and the government and new business entities,and lack of incentive mechanism.Finally,it came up with some pertinent recommendations such as improving supporting mechanism construction,making classified evaluation,and changing the scientific and technological service concepts.

Carrier Ethernet Services and Technologies

Carrier Ethernet(CE) services generally refer to the standardized carrier-class transfer services that feature in excellent scalability,reliability,manageability and Quality of Service(QoS) guarantee,and are offered by carriers to users based on Ethernet technologies.One of the important characteristics of CE service is the diversity of its implementation technologies.Enhanced Ethernet technologies consider scalability as their chief objective so as to extend conventional Ethernet bridge technologies;the latest Provider Backbone Bridge Traffic Engineering(PBB-TE) emerges as the technical trend of CE technology.Multi-Protocol Label Switch(MPLS) offers reliable Pseudowire(PW) connections for CE based on Label Switching Path(LSP).The convergence of MPLS and PBB is one of the important evolution trends for CE.Making full use of the existing Optical Transport Network(OTN) infrastructure,the optical ring network technology is the most cost-efficient and effective way to deliver CE services;its future development trend is characterized by enhancing the Operation,Administration and Maintenance(OAM) function and the control plane.

Applications and Supporting Technologies of 3G Services

The paper introduces two typical 3G services:the mobile multimedia short message service and the streaming media service. The former is considered as a strong driving force to promote the development of 3G services and applications.The latter is regarded as a typical service on future 3G networks.As supporting technologies of 3G services,open service architecture and open mobile architecture are also discussed.

Library's industrial technology information service in science parks—Taking NSL's practice as an example

Purpose:The purpose of this paper is to explore how libraries can develop service and product strategies and the service support mechanism to provide industrial technology information service in science parks.Design/methodology/approach:The analysis is based on a case study of a large Chinese research library,National Science Library(NSL),the Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS),in serving high-tech companies in Zhongguancun Science Park(Z-Park).Findings:NSL’s practices suggested that in serving business clients,libraries’ product and service strategies should be based on the understanding of users’ needs.Aside from those services that have been recognized by clients such as document retrieval & delivery and novelty search,libraries may expand their service and provide in-depth information analysis and consultation for some key clients.Moreover,a service and product development system should be established,which differentiates the libraries’ products and services from those of their competitors.In providing industrial technology information service,libraries need to construct the service support mechanism,publicize their service and learn to cooperate with clients to meet their demands for knowledge management and innovation.Research limitations:The generalizability of the findings is limited because they are based on an individual case study.Practical implications:Our service practices provide useful information for other libraries to expand their information service to high-tech companies in the new information environment.Originality/value:Z-Park is the first and one of the largest science and technology parks in China.Hence NSL’s practices in serving high-tech companies in Z-Park can be valuable to other libraries that intend to take up the similar service.

World-Wide Semantic Web of Agriculture Knowledge

The rapid increase in the publication of knowledge bases as linked open data （LOD） warrants serious consideration from all concerned, as this phenomenon will potentially scale exponentially. This paper will briefly describe the evolution of the LOD, the emerging world-wide semantic web （WWSW）, and explore the scalability and performance features Of the service oriented architecture that forms the foundation of the semantic technology platform developed at MIMOS Bhd., for addressing the challenges posed by the intelligent future internet. This paper＂ concludes with a review of the current status of the agriculture linked open data.

Several Legal Issues Relating to Service Technological Results

How "the rights and interests in the intellectual property rights of the scientists and technicians should be protected and the entity achieving the service-related technological results should remunerate, under law, those achieving the service-related technological results and those making outstanding contribution to the transfer of the technological results" are important issues encountered in China in its efforts to improve its innovation capacity and build up a new nation. The current legal system in...

Analysis of the ITIL Mapping with COBIT over the Business Process Continuity Management

Planning and implementation as well as increased control over the Business Continuity Management （BCM） is a complex task in the company requiring adequate resources. BCM aims to reduce risks and develops plans for restoring business activities if they are interrupted by a disaster. The purpose of the paper is to analyze and describe two standards, Information Technology Infrastructure Library （ITIL） and Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology （COBIT）, especially their mapping for the improved planning and implementation of the BCM as well as the increased control over the BCM activities. COBIT is used more as a management framework, providing management tools, such as control objectives, metrics and maturity models in order to complement the control framework. ITIL includes process steps and tasks because it is more oriented towards IT processes （process framework）, defining the best practice for IT service management. Within this mapping, ITIL processes may be used to achieve and demonstrate compliance with COBIT control objectives for BCM process.
