Extractions: GENETICIST CAPECCHI WINS WOLF PRIZE February 11, 2003 - In May Mario R. Capecchi will travel to Israel to accept its top honor in medical research. Capecchi will share the Wolf Prize with two other distinguished researcher-Oliver Smithies of the University of North Carolina and Ralph R. Brinster of the University of Pennsylvania. Capecchi and Smithies, working independently, developed techniques for targeted gene mutation in mammals, enabling researchers to create strains of mice with mutations in virtually any gene. Brinster developed a way to modify genes in mice embryo by injecting the eggs with RNA. The techniques developed by Capecchi, Smithies, and Brinster have given researchers powerful tools for investigating human biology and its misregulation in disease, according to the Wolf Prize jury. "These methods have enabled the development of models for a wide variety of diseases including hypertension, degenerative neurological diseases and cancer," the jury said.

Extractions: IN THE SPOTLIGHT On Sunday, March 16, the (by now traditional) CS faculty Purim party exploded into the night with a mind-boggling blend of sights, sounds, smells and tastes. As young and quasi-young bodies swayed ever so gracefully to the beat of the masterful music, as the smooth beer cascaded into our eagerly awaiting veins and brains, as the dazzling brightness of the clever costumes tormented our eyes and tantalized our minds, we could almost, for a single fleeting sweet moment, forget that we are nothing but the same old bunch of "chnunim". Viva la Purim Party! See you all in 2005!!
Beachy And Womack Awarded Wolf Prize For Agriculture Beachy and Womack Awarded wolf prize for Agriculture. On Monday, Jan.8, The Wolf Foundation awarded the 2001 wolf prize for agriculture http://www.whybiotech.com/html/con622.html
Extractions: Beachy is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and is a recognized expert in plant virology and biotechnology of plants. Beachy pioneered the first method of protecting crops from viruses by incorporation of virus genes into the plant genome. His development of a virus-fighting gene built the base for other researchers to create their own forms of plant defenses. Womack, also a member of the NAS, launched the discipline of livestock genomics with his initial map of the bovine genome. According to the Wolf Foundation, Womacks work with cows signifies "a whole new generation of scientists will use techniques provided by Womack to clone the genes affecting economically important traits in mammals." Five Wolf prizes are awarded annually to scientists and artists. Winners are chosen from such fields as agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, and physics. The prize will be presented May 13 in Israel.

Extractions: Agriculture and Life Sciences 2002/3 Wolf Prize In Agriculture Announced The 2002/3 Wolf Prize in Agriculture will be awarded to Professor Fuller W. Bazer, of Texas A&M University, and to Professor R. Michael Roberts, of the University of Missouri, for "discoveries of Interferon-tau and other pregnancy-associated proteins, which have clarified the biological mystery of signaling between embryo and mother to maintain pregnancy," stated the Wolf Prize jury in this field. Impact on Animal Production and Human Health While it has been long known that chemical communication between embryo and mother is essential for successful pregnancy in mammals, little was known about the details of this process before the two scientists began their collaboration to elucidate on these relationships. Their pioneering joint research has identified essential molecules responsible for maintaining pregnancy in ruminants and swine.

Extractions: ACM Annuaire MaTeXo MathDoc ... SMAI SMF THE 2002/3 WOLF FOUNDATION PRIZE IN MATHEMATICS The Prize Committee for Mathematics has unanimously decided that the 2002/3 Wolf Prize be jointly awarded to: Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences Kyoto University Kyoto, Japan for his creation of algebraic analysis', including hyperfunction and microfunction theory, holonomic quantum field theory, and a unified theory of soliton equations. Mikio Sato description of soliton equations in the context of tau functions and infinite dimensional Grassmann manifolds. This was extended by his followers to other classes of equations, including self dual Yang-Mills and Einstein equations. Sato has generously shared his ideas with young mathematicians and has created a flourishing school of algebraic analysis in Japan. John T. Tate (born 1925, USA). For over a quarter of a century, John Tate's ideas have dominated the development of arithmetic algebraic geometry. Tate has introduced path breaking techniques and concepts, that initiated many theories which are very much alive today. These include Fourier analysis on local fields and adele rings, Galois cohomology, the theory of rigid analytic varieties, and p-divisible groups and p-adic Hodge decompositions, to name but a few. Tate has been an inspiration to all those working on number theory. Numerous notions bear his name: Tate cohomology of a finite group, Tate module of an abelian variety, Tate-Shafarevitch group, Lubin-Tate groups, Neron-Tate heights, Tate motives, the Sato-Tate conjecture, Tate twist, Tate elliptic curve, and others. John Tate is a

Extractions: These lectures were established in 1981 and are funded by an endowment provided by one of our alumni, Professor Ferdinand G. Brickwedde (B.A. '22, M.A. '24, Ph.D. '25), and his wife, Langhorne Howard Brickwedde. Professor Brickwedde has had a distinguished research and academic career. He was a co-discoverer of deuterium, a heavy isotope of hydrogen. He was long associated with the National Bureau of Standards and was dean of the College of Chemistry and Physics at Pennsylvania State University from 1956 to 1963. Each academic year, at least one outstanding individual is invited for a three-day period. During this time, the visitor delivers a public address and the weekly departmental colloquium, the latter being geared to the scientific community. At other times, visitors are invited for shorter or longer periods to give a colloquium, teach and/or conduct specialized seminars. As stipulated by the Brickweddes, the visitors are asked to spend generous amounts of time with students. Informal discussions and social activities are arranged so that all students have the opportunity to have close contact with our guests. The list of Brickwedde lecturers, with the year of their visit, is given below: E.M. Purcell, Harvard Univ. (1981), Nobel laureate in physics, 1952.

Extractions: Results reported at the Fourth International Symposium on Sources and Detection of Dark Matter/Energy in the Universe, at Marina del Rel, California, show conflicting evidence for the existence of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). The DAMA experiment reports preliminary evidence for WIMPS, while the CDMS experiment observes no such signals. Both experiments, which employ different techniques, are located in the Gran Sasso Laboratory in Italy. An international team of scientists at the German research centre DESY have succeeded in producing ultraviolet radiation with a wavelength around 110 nanometres with a free electron laser (FEL). This is the smallest wavelength ever achieved with such a device. It is the first proof that the new principle on which the FEL is based works for wavelengths around 100 nanometres, and is is a decisive milestone on the way to the X-ray laser of the TESLA (TeV-Energy Superconducting Linear Accelerator) project at DESY.

Born in Hanover, Dr. Wolf emigrated to Cuba before the WW1. In 1961 he was appointed Cuban Ambassador to Israel and held this position until 1973 when Cuba severed diplomatic ties. He decided then to stay on in Israel where he spent his final years. The Foundation has the status of a private non-profit organization. The Trustees, members of the Council, and selection Committees , perform their duties on a voluntary basis. Only the annual income from the investments is used for the award of prizes, scholarships and to cover the annual expenses. The Rules are embodied in the Wolf-Foundation Law-1975? aproved by the Knesset. The Foundation is subject to the control of the State Comptroller of Israel.
