These types of positions allow scientists to follow their noses in more basic research areas, which might yield findings that the company can later capitalize on.
Instead of a block grant, the NHGP's funds will now be part of a "special purpose" program at the science ministry covering 120 basic research areas.
Such modelling is appealing to scientists both in applied and basic research areas, because they represent a way to test our basic understanding on how cells are organized.
Although such an approach perhaps could be employed to investigate basic research areas of a select set of commodity chemicals, it is difficult to envision for regulatory scientific studies within a modernized TSCA that would need to deal with the approximately 15,000 chemicals that the U.S. EPA estimates are currently in commerce (U.S. EPA 2010a).
(Decker's agency is responsible for basic research in areas such as energy and the environment). Vector machines often employ their own form of parallel processing, but the mathematics for doing so is far less complicated; Earth Simulator scientists, for example, are able to program using a flavor of the classic FORTRAN computer language that takes a much more direct approach.
Even in these straitened times, money should still be found for basic research into areas such as carbon capture and storage.For governments that do these things well get out of the way of entrepreneurs, reform their public sectors and invest wisely the rewards could be huge.
His emphasis on applied research in the survey's Geological Division, for example, raised worries that basic research in areas such as earthquakes and geochronology was being eroded.
The DOE Office of Science Graduate Fellowship DOEE SCGF) program supports outstanding students to pursue graduate training in basic research in areas of physics, biology, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, computational sciences, and environmental sciences relevant to the Office of Science.
Solar physics, space weather, and dusty plasma physics, are basic plasma research areas of departmental expertise.
In addition to the use of this technology in the field of occupational health, basic research in this area provides insights into metabolic pathways and biochemistry, as well.
