Publication Date: Origin: AUTHOR Abstract The NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), along with astronomy's journals and data centers, has developed a distributed on-line digital library which has become the dominant means by which astronomers search, access and read their technical literature. By combining data from the text, citation, and reference databases with data from the ADS readership logs we have been able to create Second Order Bibliometric Operators, a customizable class of collaborative filters which permits substantially improved accuracy in literature queries. Using the ADS usage logs along with membership statistics from the International Astronomical Union and data on the population and gross domestic product (GDP) we develop an accurate model for world-wide basic research where the number of scientists in a country is proportional to the GDP of that country, and the amount of basic research done by a country is proportional to the number of scientists in that country times that country's per capita GDP.

document.writeln(AAMB11); American Institute of Physics A special offer for readers of TIP from Physics Today Societies The American Astronomical Society by Kevin B. Marvel pdf version of this article Full information on AAS membership and benefits is available here The prospect of new discoveries also entices about 100 journalists to attend AAS meetings. Representing print and broadcast media from around the world, they help the AAS inform the public of the latest findings in astronomy and astrophysics, and of their importance to the quest to know our universe. The AAS also serves as a conduit between the astronomy community and journalists by providing an Internet list server through which universities and other research organizations can send astronomyrelated media releases. Members of the American Astronomical Society Sarah Neal, an undergraduate astronomy major at Agnes Scott College in Atlanta, Georgia (left), and Jon Morse, a faculty member at Arizona State University in Tempe (right), meet with Representative John Duncan (Republican, Tennessee) as part of the AAS 2003 Congressional Visit Day program to request increased funding for basic research. The AAS publishes The Astronomical Journal

Georgia State University Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Overview Georgia State University is responsive to students' career goals and provides educational and research programs relevant to the practical needs of both the students and the community. The University offers more than fifty undergraduate and graduate programs covering some 250 fields of study through the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Education, Health and Human Services, and Law and the School of Policy Studies. Georgia State University is a public institution with more than 27,000 students. The graduate student population of more than 7,500 is one of the largest in the Southeast. The average age of graduate students is 32. Students from 145 countries and forty-eight states attend the University. The Location and Community Programs of Study and Degree Requirements Research, scholarship, and creating new knowledge, are some of the most important activities of the faculty of College of Arts and Sciences at Georgia State University (GSU). With twenty interdisciplinary centers in the natural, computational, social and behavioral sciences, along with numerous specialty research labs involving faculty members and student researchers, the College is supporting inquiry into such crucial areas as public health, brain function and behavior, language acquisition and development, learning disorders, gerontology, astronomy, environmental research, atypical communication development, agricultural biotechnology, digital arts and media, molecular biology, and drug development.

105. Directory Of Specialized Research Facilities The Center for Economic research promotes scholarly research by faculty The University’s Astronomical Observatory is located within a dome on the roof http://www.albany.edu/research/research_facilities.html

Center for Biochemistry and Biophysics The Center for Biochemistry and Biophysics promotes the overlapping interests of practicing Capital District biochemists and biophysicists at the University’s uptown campus, the New York State Health Research Laboratories, and at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute . The Center's purposes are to promote collaborative efforts, to increase the flow of ideas, and to better educate students and ourselves in modern biochemical and biophysical methods. In coordinating interaction between members of the University’s Biology Chemistry , and Physics Departments and of the new programs at the School of Public Health , the Center has sponsored numerous symposia in biochemical and biophysical methods and provided a focus for multi-department courses in biophysical chemistry-biophysics and in biochemistry. Center members coordinate the Biophysics Program of the Physics Department and the students in this program are cross-trained in modem techniques of cell biology, biochemistry, and biophysics.

106. Testimony Of Dr The center is the largest astronomical research institution in the world withmore than 800 staff. In bringing together scientists and teachers, http://www.house.gov/science/research/may02/sadler.htm

Testimony of Dr. Philip M. Sadler Director, Science Education Department Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA May 2, 2001 Thank you for inviting me to testify before the Subcommittee on Research of the House Committee on Science. It is a pleasure to be able to participate in this process particularly since I have lived so many of the roles that you envision being involved in Improving Math and Science Education so No Child is Left Behind. I have been: A physics major who earned my teacher certification, a 7 th and 8 th grade science and math teacher, a businessman who has hired and worked with high school graduates, an inventor who has applied my science and mathematics to create new products, a university faculty member in science and in education, a professor and mentor for 200 new science teachers, the director of several projects that rely on educational partnerships, and an educational researcher with expertise in assessment and evaluation. Key to the quality of these programs is the involvement of scientists and engineers engaged who either consult or who make a transition to full-fledged science educators. The successful educational programs at our large research institution are the result of a structured approach that overcomes barriers to involvement while maintaining high standards. The key components are: Institutional leadership . Our director has made improving K-12 science education nationally a major goal and has committed resources, space, funds, and time. This has freed scientists with an interest in education to openly pursue these activities. Major scientific research proposals now include educational activities that involve local and more distant schools. Outreach to museums is encouraged, supporting the development of cutting-edge exhibits and planetarium shows.
