A fledgling Virginia academy hopes that bringing state scientists together will catalyze interdisciplinary projects.

Per‐Olov Löwdin curriculum vitae

The article is dedicated to the life, party and scientific activities of Khaidar Sairanovich Sairanov, who head ed the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (now the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences) from 1963 to 1980. He will turn 110 years old on April 12, 2025. He lived a difficult life, but one filled with significant and turning points in his destiny. The article uses documentary sources identified in the National Archives of the Republic of Bashkorto stan in the personal collection of Kh.S. Sairanova (f. 1707) and the fund of the Bashkir Regional Committee of the CPSU (f. 122) and in the Scientific Archive of the Ufa Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sci ences in the fund of the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Baltic Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (f. 3).First of all, this is a personal file, which contains documents concerning activities in party and public bodies, work at the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Baltic Branch of the USSR Acade my of Sciences in 1963-1980. Of no small importance are autobiographical information about different periods of life, scientific works and publications of Kh.S. Sayranov. The Institute's reports during the periods of its leader ship provide data on the status of implementation of planned thematic developments, indicating participation as a responsible editor, as part of the author's team. Khaidar Sairanovich Sairanov received a history education at the Bashkir State Pedagogical Institute and be gan his career in the editorial office of the newspaper "Kommuna", later the newspaper "Kyzyl tan". In subsequent years he was used for Komsomol work in the republic. After graduating from the Higher Party School under the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), he remained in organizational and party work in the Central Committee of the Party. After completing his studies at the Department of Party Building at the Academy of Social Sciences, he wrote his PhD dissertation, which he successfully defended in 1952. Subse quently, he was sent to the disposal of the Bashkir regional party committee. In the republic, he worked as an edi tor of the newspaper "Soviet Bashkiria", in the regional party school as the head of the department of party con struction, then in the regional party committee, where he went from lecturer, instructor to secretary of the regional committee for propaganda and agitation. In accordance with the new requirements of the CPSU Charter, in the early 1960s he was transferred from the regional committee of the CPSU to the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences to the position of director of the Institute of History, Language and Literature, where he worked until February 1980. Despite his busy schedule, he also devoted considerable attention to scientific work. He took an active part in the preparation of general planning works, including the preparation of the history of the regional party organization, documentary collections, monographs and articles on current issues in the history of Bashkiria during the Soviet period. From December 1963 until the beginning of February 1980, the entire life and work of Kh.S. Sayranovwas connected with the Institute of History, Language and Literature of the Bashkir branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Having headed the institute, he assumed responsibility for its further development during a difficult time of reorganization and fulfillment of important tasks. They were carried out in a timely and successful manner, as evidenced by the publication by the institute of general works and scientific papers, which were reflected in reports, which was a kind of assessment of the activities of not only the institute, but above all the director himself.

Association Between Enlarged Perivascular Spaces and White Matter Microstructure.

The reform of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), creation of the Federal Agency of Scientific Organizations (FANO), a change in legislation, the integration of three academies: Academy of Sciences, the Russian Academy of medical Sciences (RAMS), Russian Academy of agricultural Sciences (RAAS); restructuring of research institutions - served as prerequisites for changing RAS library system and called for the regulation of interaction and relationships between libraries within the system of scientific organizations. In these new conditions, a new concept of library and information support of scientific research is required to identify mechanisms for the uniform distribution and optimal development of libraries under FANO jurisdiction.

Editorial introductions

A joint statement issued by the Australian Academy of Sciences, Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Sciences and the Arts, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Royal Society of Canada, Caribbean Academy of Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, French Academy of Sciences, German Academy of Natural Scientists Leopoldina, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, Royal Irish Academy, Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy), Academy of Sciences Malaysia, Academy Council of the Royal Society of New Zealand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Turkish Academy of Sciences, and Royal Society (UK). T he work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the international scientific community on climate change science. We recognize the IPCC as the world's most reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this consensus. Despite increasing consensus on the science underpinning predictions of global climate change, doubts have been expressed recently about the need to mitigate the risks posed by global climate change. We do not consider such doubts justified. There will always be some uncertainty surrounding the prediction of changes in such a complex system as the world's climate. Nevertheless, we support the IPCC's conclusion that it is at least 90% certain that temperatures will continue to rise, with average global surface temperature projected to increase by between 1.4° and 5.8°C above 1990 levels by 2100.[*][1] This increase will be accompanied by rising sea levels; more intense precipitation events in some countries and increased risk of drought in others; and adverse effects on agriculture, health, and water resources. In May 2000, at the InterAcademy Panel (IAP) meeting in Tokyo, 63 academies of science from all parts of the world issued a statement on sustainability in which they noted that “global trends in climate change … are growing concerns” and pledged themselves to work for sustainability—meeting current human needs while preserving the environment and natural resources needed by future generations.[†][2] It is now evident that human activities are already contributing adversely to global climate change. Business as usual is no longer a viable option. We urge everyone—individuals, businesses, and governments—to take prompt action to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. One hundred and eighty-one governments are Parties to the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, demonstrating a global commitment to “stabilising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases at safe levels.” Eighty-four countries have signed the subsequent 1997 Kyoto Protocol, committing developed countries to reducing their annual aggregate emissions by 5.2% from 1990 levels by 2008–2012. The ratification of this protocol represents a small but essential first step toward stabilizing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. It will help create a base on which to build an equitable agreement between all countries in the developed and developing worlds for the more substantial reductions that will be necessary by the middle of the century. There is much that can be done now to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases without excessive cost. We believe that there is also a need for a major coordinated research effort focusing on the science and technology that underpin mitigation and adaptation strategies related to climate change. This effort should be funded principally by the developed countries and should involve scientists from throughout the world. The balance of the scientific evidence demands effective steps now to avert damaging changes to Earth's climate. [1]: #fn-1 [2]: #fn-2

Bolton, John Gatenby (b. Sheffield, England, 25 June 1922; d. Buderim, Australia, 6 July 1993), radio astronomy, 'radio stars', Caltech, Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Parkes, radio source identifications; quasars. Bolton was one of the early founders of radio astronomy (Kellermann, 1996; Wild and Radhakrishnan, 1996). He was responsible for the discovery and identification of many of the earliest 'radio stars', carried out important early surveys of discrete sources, established the radio astronomy program at Caltech and the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, and was the first Director of the Parkes Radio Telescope. Later in his career, he developed new techniques which led to the location and identification of more than one thousand quasars. For his pioneering research in radio astronomy Bolton received many honors, including the Bruce Medal of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, the Edgeworth David Medal of the Royal Society of New South Wales, the Encyclopedia Britannica Gold Medal and Prize for Science, the American Astronomical Society's Russell Lectureship and the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society, a C.B.E., a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Foreign Associate of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, an Honorary Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.

William Feller (Zagreb, July 7th, 1906 - New York, January 14th, 1970), outstanding Croatian - American mathematician, born in Croatia as Vilibald Srecko Feller.

Curiosity about the mysterious workings of embryos fuels the research of embryologist Edward M. De Robertis (also known as Eddy), who was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2013. His isolation of genes that control head-to-tail and back-to-belly patterning in early frog and mouse embryos led to the discovery that animal development is controlled by an ancient genetic toolkit. De Robertis dissected the process of embryonic induction, in which groups of cells called “organizers” control tissue differentiation. Earlier work by De Robertis and colleagues contributed to the beginning of the scientific discipline known as evo-devo, which takes an evolutionary perspective on development. Edward M. De Robertis. Image courtesy of Ana De Robertis. De Robertis, Norman Sprague Professor of Biological Chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is interested in how cells in the vertebrate embryo communicate with one another over long distances. Deciphering such cell signaling remains a fundamental problem in stem cell biology and cancer. De Robertis has been a member of the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCLA since 1985. He is also a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and the Latin American Academy of Sciences, and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. De Robertis was born in 1947 in Boston, MA, while his neurobiologist father was a postdoctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The family moved to Montevideo, Uruguay, when he was three. His parents were Argentinians exiled by General Juan Peron. De Robertis describes Montevideo in the 1950s as an idyllic place to grow up. “These were peaceful, safe, and innocent times,” he says. “I attended a primary and high school run by American Methodist Missionaries who provided a good education mostly in English.” During high …

Władysław Chotkowski (1843–1926), a Catholic priest and patriotic activist, lectured on Church history at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The excellent preacher who addressed national and social issues from the pulpit, he delivered eulogies at the funerals of eminent Poles and notable Kraków figures. The article presents the relationship of Władysław Chotkowski with the Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1883, he was elected a member of the Historical Commission, and in 1901 appointed to the Commission for the History of Polish Literature. Since 1907, he was a corresponding member of the Faculty of History and Philosophy at the Academy of Arts and Sciences. As a researcher of the Church history in Galicia, he participated in the meetings of the faculty, during which he presented the results of his research and scientific work that were published by the Academy of Arts and Sciences as dissertations and monographic works. The text, based on archival materials from the resources of the Archive of Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN) and the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAU), fills the knowledge gap in the research on the scientific activity of prelate Władysław Chotkowski in the Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences.
