Office of Scientific and Technical Information, OSTI, U.S. Department of Energy DOE Research and Development Accomplishments The Genes Have It! March 2016 is the 30th anniversary of the Santa Fe Workshop, which brought together participants from government, academia, and the private sector to explore the possibility of sequencing the human genome. This Workshop was sponsored by DOE and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). It met the goal of Charles DeLisi, then Associate Director of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Health and Environmental Research (OHER), by laying out an approach to sequence the human genome. Featured Scientist Courtesy of Northwestern University Welcome to the Department of Energy (DOE) Research and Development (R&D) Accomplishments, a central forum for information about the outcomes of past DOE R&D that have had significant economic impact, have improved people's lives, orhave been widely recognized as remarkable advances in science. An R&D accomplishment is the outcome of past DOE or predecessor research whose benefits are being realized now. Top
Molecules | Sunset Lake Software Molecules is an application for the iPhone, iPod touch, and now iPad that allows you to view three-dimensional renderings of molecules and manipulate them using your fingers. You can rotate the molecules by moving your finger across the display, zoom in or out by using two-finger pinch gestures, or pan the molecule by moving two fingers across the screen at once. The combination of the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad's unique multitouch input system and the built-in OpenGL ES 3-D graphics capabilities enable you to feel like you are manipulating the molecules themselves with your fingers. New molecules can be downloaded from the RCSB Protein Data Bank ( an international repository of biological molecules and their 3-D structures, or NCBI's PubChem, a public database of compounds. Molecules can be downloaded directly to your handheld device and stored there for later viewing. Molecules is free and its source code is available under the BSD license. Related posts
Ibn Battuta Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, was a Moroccan Muslim scholar and traveler. He is known for his traveling and going on excursions called the Rihla. His journeys lasted for a period of almost thirty years. This covered nearly the whole of the known Islamic world and beyond, extending from North Africa, West Africa, Southern Europe and Eastern Europe in the West, to the Middle East, Indian subcontinent, Central Asia, Southeast Asia and China in the East, a distance readily surpassing that of his predecessors. Early life and Career: Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Battuta, was born in Tangier, Morocco, on the 24th of February 1304 C.E. (703 Hijra) during the time of the Marinid dynasty. He first began his voyage by exploring the lands of the Middle East. Finally, he returned home at Tangier in 1355. Ibn Battuta often experienced culture shock in regions he visited. Death: After the completion of the Rihla in 1355, little is known about Ibn Battuta’s life.
USDOE, Office of Scientific and Technical Information OSTI has a track record of success in collaboration across a range of communities. OSTI's ability to forge partnerships and strategic alliances opens avenues for researchers and the American public to gain appropriate and ready access to both historic and ongoing research and development information. Department of Energy Scientific and Technical Information Program (STIP) STIP is a collaboration from across the DOE complex working to ensure that the results of DOE-funded research and development (R&D) and other science and technology activities are identified, disseminated, and preserved. Interagency Science.gov Alliance OSTI hosts Science.gov, an interagency initiative of 18 U.S. government science organizations within 13 Federal agencies. OSTI is an active member of the community of federal agencies and organizations responsible for handling the nation's federally funded STI.

Topical application of honey in treatment of burns. [Br J Surg. 1991 Awards July 1999 – STIP Community Wins Award The STIP Community was awarded a National Partnership for Reinventing Government (NPR) "Hammer Award" for the successful transition to electronic scientific and technical information (STI) management. This award recognizes the team of employees who made a significant contribution in support of reinventing government principles. Some 96 individual participants were involved in the electronic transition effort. In the single most revolutionary change in its history, OSTI and its STIP partners collaboratively developed procedures to convert the Program from a centralized paper-based operation to a decentralized electronic activity which uses the Internet and World Wide Web, thus making DOE's STI more widely available in less time and at a lower cost per person served.
USDOE, Office of Scientific and Technical Information The following sites offer bibliographic information for journal literature in disciplines relevant to the DOE R&D mission: Energy Citations Database – provides free access to bibliographic records for energy and energy-related scientific and technical information from the Department of Energy (DOE) and its predecessor agencies, the Energy Research & Development Administration (ERDA) and the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC). The database provides access to DOE publicly available citations from 1948 through the present, with continued growth through regular updates. Infotrieve's Article Finder – accesses scientific, technical, medical, and other scholarly content. Article Finder contains the content of Infotrieve's eContent, Table of Contents (TOCs) and MEDLINE® databases, with direct feeds from publishers and access to several other databases all in one collection.

Spanning decades, this exploration eventually led to Department of Energy (DOE) research into solar energy. The trailblazer who led this exploration was Melvin Calvin, a chemist at the University of California Berkeley Radiation Laboratory, now Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (read more at the DOE R&D Accomplishments Blog).
