Third World Academy Of Sciences
The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries (TWAS) is a merit-based science academy established for developing countries, uniting more than 1,400 scientists in some 100 countries. Its principal aim is to promote scientific capacity and excellence for sustainable development in developing countries. It was formerly known as the ''Third World Academy of Sciences''. Its headquarters is located on the premises of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy. History TWAS was founded in 1983 under the leadership of the Nobel Laureate Abdus Salam of Pakistan by a group of distinguished scientists who were determined to do something about the dismal state of scientific research in developing countries. * Although developing countries account for 80% of the world's population, only 28% of the world's scientists hail from these countries. This fact reflects the lack of innovative potential necessary to solve real-life prob ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Perverse Sheaf
The mathematical term perverse sheaves refers to the objects of certain abelian categories associated to topological spaces, which may be a real or complex manifold, or more general topologically stratified spaces, possibly singular. The concept was introduced in the work of Joseph Bernstein, Alexander Beilinson, and Pierre Deligne and Ofer Gabber (1982) as a consequence of the Riemann-Hilbert correspondence, which establishes a connection between the derived categories regular holonomic D-modules and constructible sheaves. Perverse sheaves are the objects in the latter that correspond to individual D-modules (and not more general complexes thereof); a perverse sheaf ''is'' in general represented by a complex of sheaves. The concept of perverse sheaves is already implicit in a 75's paper of Kashiwara on the constructibility of solutions of holonomic D-modules. A key observation was that the intersection homology of Mark Goresky and Robert MacPherson could be described using ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
David B
David Robert Jones (8 January 194710 January 2016), known as David Bowie ( ), was an English singer, songwriter and actor.

His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation, and his music and stagecraft have had a great impact on popular music. Bowie studied art, music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963. He released a string of unsuccessful singles with local bands and David Bowie (1967 album), a self-titled solo album (1967) before achieving his first top-five entry on the UK singles chart with "Space Oddity" (1969). After a period of experimentation, he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with the alter ego Ziggy Stardust (character), Ziggy Stardust.
