Biology & Medicine: Excitement of Research and Deployment of its Outcome–The Twain Do Meet in BARC
نویسنده
چکیده
The vision of our Founder, Dr. Homi Bhabha extended much beyond making India globally secure in terms of energy production by harnessing nuclear power. He also emphasized the development of nonpower applications of nuclear energy and radioisotopes for industry, agriculture and healthcare and building strong directed as well as futuristic-based research programmes. This has been reflected in an ample measure in the activities of the Bio-Medical Group (BMG), BARC pioneered by the late Dr. A. R. Gopal-Ayengar. Application directed basic research as well as curiosity-driven basic research in biological sciences progressed along parallel lines as the former provided a platform for showcasing the now well acknowledged achievements in agriculture and nuclear medicine while the latter provided much needed opportunities to young biologists enchanted by the dramatic developments in molecular and radiation biology.

متن کاملUniversal Grammar and Chaos/Complexity Theory: Where Do They Meet And Where Do They Cross?
Abstract The present study begins by sketching "Chaos/Complexity Theory" (C/CT) and its applica-tion to the nature of language and language acquisition. Then, the theory of "Universal Grammar" (UG) is explicated with an eye to C/CT. Firstly, it is revealed that CCT may or may not be allied with a theory of language acquisition that takes UG as the initial state of language acquisition for ...
