Parchmaim et al., 2006 Nieuwe Scheikunde in the Netherlands Driessen Meinema, 2003). For this purpose, we use a synthesis of framewoiks and combine this into a domain-specific curriculum theory (Van Berkel, 2005). VanBerkel s theory is based on the work of Roberts on curriculum emphases, of Schwab on curriculum stractures, of Kuhn on normal science and scientific training and that of Goodlad et al. on cmriculum representations. 

At a conference in Oxford in 1961, Thomas S. Kuhn presented a paper on The Function of Scientific Dogmas in Scientific Research in which he summarized his thesis on paradigms, normal science, and scientific revolutions which was about to be published by the University of Chicago Press. [2] At the beginning of the Oxford paper, Kuhn noted the similarity of his and Michael Polanyi s views on the... 

Direct contacts between the scientists stimulate the progress of sciences, and scientific collaboration produces the friendship of nations. We welcome the collaboration of scientists aimed to the increase of security, good health and prosperity of peoples. 

It is evident that no way of locating solutions is perfect, or universally applicable. Although established methods are often valuable, opportunities exist for newly developed techniques to outperform them, especially in the solution of some of the more challenging, and perhaps more interesting, problems in science. A number of approaches within the field of artificial intelligence (AI) show great promise in science, and scientific applications of AI are already numerous. Applications from within one of its principle areas, that of evolutionary algorithms (EAs), form the topic of this volume. 

Dr. Cecchi is also involved in Teaching of Experimental Sciences and Scientific Master Degrees, two projects whose purposes are, respectively, to improve the methodologies of teaching physical sciences and to encourage students to study scientific subjects. She is the author of more than 50 research articles, reviews, congress lectures, and other communications and was the corresponding author of an article that received an award from the Italian Research Evaluation Panel. 

With the modernization of Japan, science and scientific literature made rapid progress a considerable number of distinguished Japanese chemists emerged, among them Nagai, the discoverer of ephedrine (1887). However, the war years 1941-45 proved detrimental to scientific progress in Japan and, with the end of hostilities, economic conditions during the occupation often interfered with academic or industrial research. Nonetheless, considerable scientific activity, particularly in chemistry, is revealed by... 

Both, the DN-model and the causal model of explanation fail to describe the predictions made by neural network simulations. But since, as mentioned above, scientists working with these methods themselves do not claim to deliver explanations, this result seems satisfying and could count as a confirmation, though a negative one, of both models of explanation. At least for this rather trivial case philosophy of science and scientific practice agree.9...

The board of trustees included ex officio such prestigious scientists as the presidents of the National Academy of Sciences and American Association for the Advancement of Science and the head of the Smithsonian Institution. Prominent trustees during the 1920s and 1930s included psychologist James McKeen Cattell (editor of Science and Scientific Monthly), astronomer Harlow Shap-ley, and such notables as A.A.

Engineering, in some form, has existed as long as humankind has been building devices for specific purposes. Examples of early forms of engineering include the development of the wheel, the use of fire, and the development of tools from bronze and iron. However, the term engineering is of more recent origin, and the application of scientific principles had to await the development of science and scientific methods as we know them today.

Elisabeth Gunther is Junior Researcher at the Institute of Management Science of Vienna University of Technology. She studied Sociology and Political Science at the University of Vienna and the Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Her current research addresses aeeess barriers to science and scientific organizations, using quantitative and qualitative methods.
