Under Dr. Hockfield, M.I.T. has diversified its student body — 45 percent of the class of 2015 are women and 24 percent are underrepresented minorities — and seen a convergence of research in life sciences and research in engineering and the physical sciences.
Modern synthetic biology has its roots in many fields, but is mainly based on a convergence of research in engineering, computing and modelling, with molecular biology, evolutionary genomics, and biotechnology on the one hand – and research into the origin of life, artificial life and orthogonal (parallel) life on the other (see Luisi 2006; Bedau et al. 2009; Peretó and Català 2007; Campos 2009).
The report says providing adequate financial support and a well-organized focus within NIH for convergence research are key to the success of the convergence model, as is encouraging investigation that crosses existing research boundaries.
The standardization ideas of Synthetic Biology emerged in the late 1990s from a convergence of research on cellular computing, and were motivated by an array of applications from tissue regeneration to bio-sensing to mathematical programming.
To our knowledge, no other paper has explicitly analyzed population aging using the convergence research framework.
Throughout our history, we have upheld the belief: "Of the Most High Cometh Healing". The practice of medicine is a convergence of science, research, and technology, which are elevated, transformed, and given relevance by physicians through compassion, listening, and a desire to reduce suffering and promote health.
A convergence of theory and research underscores the relevance of particular marijuana use motives generally, and coping-related motives specifically, in enhancing risk for marijuana use problems.
In this research a convergence criterion of ( left[ {frac{1}{k}sumnolimits_{k = 1}^{k} {(beta_{t + 1,k} - beta_{t,k} )^{2} } } right]^{1/2}, ) is used, which is generally accepted convergence criterion in many literatures [8, 9].
An examination of current phytase research and its relationship to a contemporary environmental concern provides insight into how a convergence of technologies fosters additional research and development on this key biocatalyst.
There has been an interesting convergence of research at UGA on these houses in terms of their effects both on heat stress and also threats from winds.
Meanwhile, the White House science office should launch a convergence initiative to get all research agencies to fund more cross-cutting biological science.
