Frequently it is the product of the cloned gene, rather than the gene itself, that is of primary interest—particularly when the protein has commercial, therapeutic, or research value. With an increased understanding of the fundamentals of DNA, RNA, and protein metabolism and their regulation in E. coli, investigators can now manipulate cells to express cloned genes in order to study their protein products. 

At the Library of Congress current estimates indicate that for materials presently identified as rare, with permanent research value, complete conservation will require about twelve thousand five hundred man years of work. Other parts of the collections are in equally serious condition (1). However, archival conservation in a library setting diminishes the role of restoration of individual artifacts in favor of carefully selected actions more immediately directed toward the greatest possible prolongation of useful life—hence our philosophy and practice of phased preservation. In practice, useful life may be projected as a thousand years or more for some items, or as little as fifty years for others. Thus, in the broadest sense, conservation comprises methods of buying time, of putting off that inevitable day when organic materials are reduced to dust. 

The behavior of acids and bases in NMA has been examined by several groups of researchers. Values for the pKa of acids determined in these potentiometric and conductometric studies are summarized in Table VU-1. The measurements have not been carried out at any single temperature and one extensive study reports values... 

Esthetics More than any other scientists, chemists make heavy use of all kinds of means of visualization, from simple drawings to virtual reality. In addition, chemists have increasingly made claims to the beauty of their synthetic products, and there is clear empirical evidence that this is also an actual research motivation. Both call for systematic investigations of the role of esthetics in chemical research (Schummer 1995, 2003a Spector and Schummer 2003). In particular, esthetic analysis may help understand crucial issues of research creativity and innovation. If beauty is an accepted research value, we need to understand on what esthetic theory that notion of beauty is based and how esthetic values relate to other research values, both epistemological and moral. 

The information is fundamental and low on empiricism thus, it has research value as well as use for control and troubleshooting. 

The filtration equations describing contacts between particles and media and between particles in suspension and previously retained particles are not developed as well as the equations used to describe interparticle contacts in flocculation. This lack of knowledge about some aspects of the hydrodynamics and chemistry of the system is the principal reason for limiting filter models to monodisperse suspensions and also means that some empirical coeflBcients are necessary. In this research, values for these coeflBcients were taken directly from those reported by O Melia and Ali (25). 

Will the evaluation contribute to improving the state of knowledge about a particular type of program or policy and does the information generated have potential future research value ... 

Other sections followed in which participants were asked to say whether they knew about gender studies and how, to answer some tricky questions regarding the authorship of important scientific discoveries and to answer further questions meant to operationalize factors such as perceived influence in academic and working life, presence of models in scientific career, expectations and foreseen strategies as regards life/work balance, familiarity with research, values. For space reasons these aspects will not be considered here.
