Extractions: Go back to Previous Page Go to Gazette Homepage Newsbriefs Hopkins Cardiology receives $14 million in SCOR grants Heart researchers at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions have earned two prestigious Specialized Center of Research (SCOR) grants, each for five years, providing $14 million from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute at the National Institutes of Health. "These are the most highly prized and most competitive cardiology grants," said Kenneth Baughman, Cardiology Division director and a professor of medicine at the School of Medicine. "We hope in the next five years the science these grants will allow us to pursue will pay huge dividends to patients with coronary artery disease." "Because heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, there is a paramount need to make progress in this area as soon as possible," said Michael E. Johns, dean of the medical school. Dr. Johns noted that the grants "demonstrate not only the pre-eminent quality of the research activities of the cardiology faculty but also the strong interrelationship between research and the innovative clinical practice that characterizes Hopkins medicine." Among the research to be funded: ù Investigation of the inflammation of heart muscle tissue after blocked blood flow is restored. The goal is to understand why and how this happens so it can be prevented, limiting the damage of heart attacks. ù Basic research into understanding the biological origins of irregular heartbeats and identifying what causes patients with weak heart muscle to suddenly die. Hopkins is the only institution to be awarded two SCOR grants simultaneously in a field of 26 applicants and nine award winners. For four days JAMI conference draws math mavens to Hopkins Mathematicians from around the world will meet at Hopkins this Friday for an annual four-day conference. The theme of this year's conference is linear and nonlinear scattering, a popular area of specialty that has many theoretical and practical applications. The conference is co-sponsored by the Department of Mathematics and the Japan-U.S. Mathematics Institute (JAMI), an exchange program that allows Japanese mathematicians to come to Hopkins to do research and become acquainted with math professors here. The program will be preceded on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday by an informal workshop dealing with scattering theory. The actual conference begins Friday and continues through Monday. About 20 mathematicians will deliver lectures, which will be held in 205 Krieger Hall. The program began in 1988 and is intended to foster friendly relations between Japan and the United States and to strengthen the long-existing relationship between the Math Department and the Japanese mathematical community. For more information contact the Math Department at 516-4178 (or by e-mail: jami@math.jhu.edu). Researchers say chronic fatigue now linked to low blood pressure Intermittent bouts of extremely low blood pressure may cause debilitating, chronic fatigue. In the March 9 issue of Lancet, researchers at the School of Medicine reported that seven teenagers with constant malaise had neurally mediated hypotension, a blood pressure abnormality brought on by a nervous system reflex. Peter Rowe, associate professor and general pediatrician at the Children's Center, said that patients with this condition have a tendency to faint while upright for an extended period for example, standing in lineespecially in warm environments. After treatment directed at this condition, including increased salt intake, four of the teens' chronic fatigue and related symptoms disappeared within one week. The other three reported no change in their condition. Researchers do not yet know the extent to which genetic influences, infections or other factors trigger the condition, but they know that increasing dietary salt can help treat it. Friends of the Libraries sponsors second book collecting contest The Milton S. Eisenhower Library at Johns Hopkins University is looking for some clever collectors. The library's Friends Advisory Council is sponsoring its second Book Collecting Contest, with very few restrictions and a host of possibilities. Students may choose the content of their collections based on their own interests or unlimited imaginations. One winner of the first contest, in 1993, owned several books with covers created by the same illustrator. The contest is open to students on all Hopkins campuses. First prizes of $300 will be awarded to the winners of each division. Second and third prizes are $150 and $50, respectively. For more information or an entry form, call 516-8327.

Extractions: [This is the transcript of a talk given July 2001 at a meeting to Bridge the Gap between the sciences and the arts that was organized by the Center for Contemporary Art in Kitakyushu, Japan. The book also includes discussions between artists and scientists. For a transcript of an interview with performance artist Marina Abramovic that was not included in this book, click here Good morning everybody. Let me start by saying I'm delighted to be back in Japan. I love Japanese architecture and design. I think this auditorium is magnificent. I've been admiring it the whole time I've been here and I was really in love with the cafeteria where we just had coffee and I thought it was so beautiful. So I'm very happy to be back here in Japan. We're talking about bridging the gap and I think there are a number of gaps that we have to bridge. The kind of mathematics I'm doing many mathematicians react to violently saying it's not mathematics - you're attacking mathematics, you're against mathematics, you're using mathematical methods to criticize mathematics. One of my recent books is called The Unknowable and an immediate reaction from someone when he heard the title of this book was `well, how can you write a whole book about something that's unknowable?' Just saying `unknowable', that's it, it's finished when you've said that.
44th International Mathematical Olympiad, Tokyo, Japan, 7-19 July 2003, Report B

http://www.imo-register.org.uk/2003-report.html

Extractions: July 2003 Introduction The International Mathematical Olympiad is an annual competition which takes place in a major city each July. Six students from each country are allowed to take part in what amounts to the World Championships of Secondary School Mathematics. Students are disbarred from the competition either by entering full-time tertiary education, or reaching the age of 20. At most half the students receive medals, and these are awarded in the best possible approximation to the ratio gold:silver:bronze = 1:2:3. There are two examination papers sat on consecutive days. Each paper lasts 4 hours 30 minutes, and consists of three questions. The first is hard, the second is unbelievably hard, and the third is more or less impossible. Each question is marked out of 7, according to a brutal marking scheme. The least imperfection will lose a mark, and an incomplete solution will usually be rewarded with no more than 2 marks, even for significant progress. This is an event where every mark has to be earned. As well as the six students, teams usually send along at least two adults. One is the leader, and his or her role at the IMO is to sit on the jury. There is also a deputy leader who stays with the team and looks after them. In the UK we are very fortunate in that the current deputy leader is Richard Atkins of Oundle School, the director of the national mentoring scheme. Richard also helps with training. This year he was accompanied by Adrian Sanders of Trinity College, Cambridge, who will succeed him as deputy leader.

Extractions: Summary of the 62th Conference, JSHET The Study of the Existence of General Equilibrium: A History As Viewed From Japan by Aiko Ikeo, Kokugakuin University 1. Introduction Econometrica in detail. The paper was later published in Metroeconomica 2. Proof of the Existence of a General Equilibrium until 1956 The proof of existence, stability and uniqueness are important topics for the study of general equilibrium theory. Set theory and the convex set method were used for the proof of existence in the 1950s, and these were mathematical tools different from those used for the proof of stability. Moreover, the study of stability analysis was promoted by a group of scholars prior to the study of the existence question carried out by another group. It has been already discussed that in the 1940s several Japanese economists made important contributions to stability analysis, which were comparable to the studies which were developed in North America and Europe in the 1950s (Ikeo 1994). The research line of the existence question was especially blurred by the controversy over the foundation of mathematics, which culminated in the clash between the formalist David Hilbert and the intuitionist L.E.J. Brouwer in 1927. This controversy did not matter, at least for the study of the so-called existence question, in the sense that Brouwer's fixed point theorem has been formalized by Hilbert's students and become available for economists as well as the economists who used the traditional language in mathematics. Later fixed point theorems became familiar to economists by von Neumann (1937) and Kakutani (1941). The historical development of the study of existence of general equilibrium was further complicated by the development of relevant mathematical tools and game theory, and the interactions and communications among migrating and traveling scholars in the 1930s and 1940s.

Extractions: The following interview was published in the Japanese Mathematical Journal Sugaku in October, 1993. 120 minutes at the house of Professor Kenkichi Iwasawa Itaka, the chief editor of Sugaku , and Nakajima, an editor of Sugaku visited Professor Iwasawa's house at 2 PM on March 18th, 1993. It is located in a quiet residential area in Meguro, Tokyo. We also asked Fujisaki to visit with us. We talked with Professor Iwasawa about many topics. Iwasawa I was interested in group theory from the time when I was a student, and studied a book by Zassenhaus ( Gruppentheorie ) at our seminar with the help of Professors Suetsuna and Iyanaga. This was a very good book. At the same time, Topological groups by Pontryagin was translated from Russian into English, and published by Princeton University Press. After reading this book, I became interested in topological groups and started working on locally compact groups. I wrote a relatively long paper (long for me), and showed it to Professor Iyanaga, who sent it to Chevalley. Chevalley kindly wrote to me that I did very well, and also pointed out that some arguments were vague. I was very happy. This paper was published in the Annals of Mathematics in 1949. I think this was also possible with Chevalley's assistance.
