Finally, a conclusion and perspective are given to discussing the remaining challenges for graphene nanocomposites in functional science and engineering.
The meeting also explored the way forward for the promotion of a functional science-policy interface for evidence-based policy making in DRR.
In the last decade, several data preservation, management, sharing policies, and plans have emerged in response to increased funding for high-throughput approaches in genomics and functional genomics science [ 1].
Functional genomics, the science of deciphering DNA sequence structure, variation, and function have become the engine driving the discovery of traits and helps to solve intractable problems in crop production.
The desert igloo (technically a "geodesic dome") has, we were surprised to find, a functional existence outside science fiction.
How then, might learners with different levels of spatial ability gain structural and functional understanding in science and how might this ability affect the utility of learner-generated visual explanations?
From the second field, of the normative-ontological approach, Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker, who believed he had a particular social and political duty as an atomic physicist, continually pushed the boundaries between the functional systems of science and politics.
Reflecting the new understanding, in 1942 Charles Sherrington visualized the workings of the brain waking from sleep: In the second half of the 20th century, developments in chemistry, electron microscopy, genetics, computer science, functional brain imaging, and other fields progressively opened new windows into brain structure and function.
"Nasal irritant sensitivity" is an important construct in environmental health science; functional measures, however, lack standardization.
As a matter of fact, it looks more like a functional element of science: defending one's hypothesis is necessary for the dialectical process of theory change.
Although it would be too simple to say that the functional differentiation between science and policy making disappears, there is a dynamic coupling of the practices, in which some tasks are shared (see also Renn 1995; Weingart 1999).
