Group of 10 academic laboratories provide pancreatic islets of cGMP-quality to eligible investigators for use in FDA approved, IRB-approved transplantation protocols in which isolated human islets are transplanted into qualified patients afflicted with type 1 diabetes mellitus; optimize the harvest, purification, function, storage, and shipment of islets while developing tests that characterize the quality and predict the effectiveness of islets transplanted into patients with diabetes mellitus; and provide pancreatic islets for basic science studies. The centers are electronically linked through an Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC). The ABCC manages a system with objectively defined criteria that establishes the order of priority for islet distribution. It also provides database and other informatics to track the utilization of pancreata and all distributed clinical grade islets for transplant and basic research, and supports the Islet Cell Resource Centers Consortium so that the research community has a single entry point to the program. Qualified researchers from domestic institutions may request islets by submitting a written application to the director of the ABCC. The ICRs will distribute Islets as appropriate for either clinical or basic science protocol use to eligible investigators who have received a favorable review and subsequent approval by the ICR Steering Committee (SC). The Administrative and Bioinformatics Coordinating Center (ABCC) manages the distribution according to a priority list. The ABCC will give preference to investigators who have peer-reviewed, NIH-funded research support.

NASA leads the nation on a great journey of discovery, seeking new knowledge and understanding of our planet Earth, our Sun and solar system, and the universe out to its farthest reaches and back to its earliest moments of existence. NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) and the nation's science community use space observatories to conduct scientific studies of the Earth from space to visit and return samples from other bodies in the solar system, and to peer out into our Galaxy and beyond. NASA's science program seeks answers to profound questions that touch us all: * How and why are Earth's climate and the environment changing? * How and why does the Sun vary and affect Earth and the rest of the solar system? * How do planets and life originate? * How does the universe work, and what are its origin and destiny? * Are we alone? This is NASA's science vision: using the vantage point of space to achieve with the science community and our partners a deep scientific understanding of our planet, other planets and solar system bodies, the interplanetary environment, the Sun and its effects on the solar system, and the universe beyond. In so doing, we lay the intellectual foundation for the robotic and human expeditions of the future while meeting today's needs for scientific information to address national concerns, such as climate change and space weather. At every step we share the journey of scientific exploration with the public and partner with others to substantially improve science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education nationwide.

http://synapses.clm.utexas.edu/tools/reconstruct/reconstruct.stm

A Windows (Win32) software application for montaging, aligning, tracing, measuring, and reconstructing objects from serial microscopic section images. The software is designed for microscopy in which section resolution is much less than section thickness, such as transmitted electron microscopy (EM) where the resolution is a few nanometers while the section thickness is many tens of nanometers. Reconstruct can easily handle series with hundreds of very large, high-resolution section images. It facilitates image cropping, scaling and alignment. Multiple images can be placed side-by-side to make a montage of a section from a mosaic of images. The alignment of adjacent sections can be rapidly compared by either blending the two sections or by flickering between them. Sections can be moved while blended. Reconstruct aids in the calibration of image size. Images taken at different magnifications can be combined, calibrated and aligned. Tools for tracing and editing of objects on sections are provided. Objects can be surfaced from the traces and previewed in an OpenGL-based 3D scene window. The 3D scene can be saved as a bitmap or as a VRML file.

The CEI Science & Technology Network (S&TN), launched at the beginning of 2004, is composed of sevenTrieste-based research centres and their partners in the CEI region. With the aim to strengthen scientific and technological cooperation, the S&TN provides financial support for the organization of seminars, conferences, workshops and training courses. Young scientists from CEI countries, especially non-EU member States, are offered the opportunity to attend such activities and carry out scientific research on various topics in one of the seven Lead Institutions (LIs). The area of cooperation of each Lead Institution is separately defined in a three-year Protocol complemented by an annual Work Programme. During 2004-2009, the Network''s Lead Institutions implemented a number of activities, some of which in partnership with other institutions from CEI countries. This cooperation started up the Secondary Network whose further enhancement will be the main challenge in the future years. The CEI Research Fellowship Programme The CEI Research Fellowship Programme was established in 2005 to enable mobility across the CEI region by giving selected scientists the possibility of carrying out research in one of the Network''s Lead Institutions. In the time-frame 2005 - 2009, the request for fellowships has constantly increased and witnessed the effectiveness of the Programme. Taking this into account, in 2008 the CEI-ES started to explore EU funding opportunities in order to develop its Research Fellowship Programme. A joint proposal named CERES (CEI Research Fellowship Programme) was submitted to the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP7). CERES was approved and is currently under implementation. EU Funding opportunities for the CEI Science & Technology Network Following the successful experience of CERES, the CEI-ES, along with the Network''s Lead Institutions, will continue to look into funding opportunities offered by the EU with the ultimate aim to support mobility of researchers across the CEI area and promote significant progress in the S&T sector.
