In work the analysis of some results received for today on non-stationary currents in channels is resulted. The form of a curve of acceleration of a stream is found optimum from a point of hydrodynamic resistance. The analytical decision of the equation of Prandtlja for friction factor is given.

US: Scientists hope to network Facebook-style
# 10, October 2009

Cornell University and six other institutions will use a US$12.2 million federal stimulus grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a Facebook-style professional networking system to link biomedical researchers across America, writes William Kates for The Associated Press. Participants say by making it easier for scientists to find each other, researchers will be able to improve their ongoing studies and forge collaborations that could lead to new discoveries. The new network will be called VIVOweb.

US: Online education's great unknowns
# 10, October 2009

Distance learning has broken into the mainstream of higher education. But at the campus level, many colleges still know precious little about how best to organise online programmes, whether those programmes are profitable, and how they compare to face-to-face instruction in terms of quality.

YEMEN: Minister threatens to close private universities
# 10, October 2009

Yemen's private universities only have preliminary licences and these could be withdrawn if institutions fail to comply with legal requirements, Higher Education and Scientific Research Minister Saleh Ali Ba Surrah warned last weekend, writes Abdul-Aziz Oudah for the Yemen Observer. "We don't want cabins, apartments or buildings; we want to see integrated structures that are competitive with public universities and not just a clone of them," the Minister said at a three-day conference on "Challenges of Higher Education and Academic Accreditation in the Third World", held in Sana'a.

Tokyo universities set up first national/privately-funded grad school
# 10, October 2009

Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) and Waseda University will establish a joint graduate school next spring, school authorities announced Thursday. The joint institution, which is scheduled to open in April next year, will be Japan's first-ever graduate school to be co-founded by national and private universities. TUAT and Waseda, which are strong in agricultural science and engineering respectively, hope the school will become a leading institution in the area of health science, such as preventive medicine and food safety.
