The federal government's investment in research and development (R&D) at the nation's universities-which is pivotal to the U.S. innovation system-has grown considerably. This report assesses that investment and presents a detailed analysis of the federal funds received for the conduct of R&D by state and by individual universities and colleges.

This study addresses the demand-side of e-government--not only usage--but also perceptions and barriers to utilization that have not been treated previously. Indicators to measure acceptance and adoption of e-government were used to build two surveys that were then piloted among members of the 'general population' in the 15 EU Member States, Switzerland and Europe, and to IT managers in the commercial sector in seven EU countries.

The Army is in essence reengineering itself under the auspices of Force XXI, and at the same time it is evolving into a "force projection Army." Such changes place increasing importance on effective combat service support (CSS) command and control (C2). These challenges and changes to CSS management will occur in an increasingly information-rich and distributed environment. Earlier aspects of this research reported on the opportunity to reexamine training for support staffs above the division level and determine how the Army might change its training to best prepare for new styles of CSS management. This documented briefing illustrates a microworld simulation modeling approach that can help to facilitate changes in structure and content for training CSS staffs operating as staffs, not for individual training. The authors discuss how microworld models can be used to train CSS processes. Included in the discussion is an overview of how these models operate and what the prototypes are intended to illustrate in a training curriculum. The briefing concludes with some general lessons learned from developing and testing these prototype models with an actual training audience, and the authors suggest how training developers may proceed to redesign mission training plans for higher-level theater CSS C2 staffs.

Investments in new construction and building typically represent 8 to 10 per cent of the nation's GDP, with more than 40 per cent of this investment being for new housing. This work provides a summary of such statistics.

The slow growth of power transmission systems relative to the demand for power in the US has played a role in higher electricity prices. This text evaluates the potential of high-temperature superconducting power technologies to address problems in the electric power transmission grid.
