The Alfred P. Sloan Foundation has selected 118 outstanding researchers as recipients of the prestigious Sloan Research Fellowships for 2011. These early-career scientists and scholars will receive $50,000 fellowships to support their original research in various fields.
Researchers found that people can be categorized into different types based on their cooperation behavior, with around 5% always helping, 35% never helping, and 60% cooperating depending on circumstances. The study suggests that economic incentives are not the primary driver of cooperation, but rather individual motivations and behaviors.
The American Mathematical Society has awarded several major prizes, including the AMS Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement and the AMS Conant Prize, to recognize outstanding contributions to mathematics. The recipients include William Fulton, Robert Griess Jr., David Eisenbud, Bryna Kra, and Ileana Streinu, among others.
UT Southwestern researchers Dr. Jennifer Kohler and Dr. Joseph Ready have been awarded Sloan fellowships to support their research in chemistry. They will each receive $50,000 over two years to pursue innovative projects in carbohydrate interactions with cancer cells and antibiotic development.
A new study challenges the idea that increased science and mathematics achievement correlates to nation-wide economic gains. Without Asian Tiger countries, correlation diminishes, and all but disappears.
A recent study by Georgia Institute of Technology Professor Kenneth Knoespel explores the intersection of Sir Isaac Newton's alchemical practice and his work in economics, showing how his ideas on value were transformed into a systematic structure of social value.
The Intelligent Information Systems Institute aims to explore AI's applications in data management, game theory, and more. Cornell faculty members are collaborating with visiting scientists to inspire innovation.
A New Mexico State University scientist's study reveals that the cost of maintaining the upstream habitat for the endangered silvery minnow results in a net gain of $68,000 per year for New Mexico agriculture. However, central New Mexico agricultural users and Albuquerque residents would lose $68,000 annually, while southern New Mexico...
