It is named after the Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) who found that there is no explicit formula for the roots of a general polynomial of degree five. The financial support of the Abel Prize is comparable with the Nobel Prize, i.e., about one million American dollars. Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) M. Křížek a kol.: Prvních deset Abelových cen za matematiku, JČMF, Praha, 2013 87 Already in 1899, another famous Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie proposed to establish an Abel Prize, when he learned that Alfred Nobel would not include a prize in mathematics among his five proposed Nobel Prizes.

  • 1 Getting a Knighthood
    Getting a knighthood (Bristol, June 1996) It's unreal, isn't it? I've always had a strong sense of the ridiculous, of the absurd, and this is working overtime now. Many of you must have been thinking, ‘Why Berry?’ Well, since I am the least knightly person I know, I have been asking the same question, and although I haven't come up with an answer I can offer a few thoughts. How does a scientist get this sort of national recognition? One way is to do something useful to the nation, that everyone agrees is important to the national well- being or even survival. Our home-grown example is of course Sir Charles Frank's war work. Or, one can sacrifice several years of one's life doing high-level scientific administration, not always received with gratitude by the scientific hoi polloi but important to the smooth running of the enterprise. Sir John Kingman is in this category. Another way – at least according to vulgar mythology – is to have the right family background. Well, my father drove a cab in London and my mother ruined her eyes as a dressmaker. Another way is to win the Nobel Prize or one of the other huge awards like the Wolf or King Faisal prizes, like Sir George Porter as he then was, or Sir Michael Atiyah. The principle here I suppose is, to those that have, more shall be given. I don't qualify on any of these grounds. The nearest I come is to have have won an fairly large number of smaller awards.

  • Banknote Character Advisory Committee Minutes
    BANKNOTE CHARACTER ADVISORY COMMITTEE (1) MINUTES Bank of England, Threadneedle Street 13.45 ‐ 15.00: 14 March 2018 Advisory Committee Members: Ben Broadbent (Chair), Sir David Cannadine, Victoria Cleland, Sandy Nairne, Baroness Lola Young Also present: Head of Banknote Resilience Programme Manager, Banknote Transformation Programme Senior Manager, Banknote Development Secretary to the Committee Minutes 1 Introduction and background 1.1 The Chair welcomed the Committee. He reminded members that their discussions should remain confidential. 1.2 Following the successful launch of the £5 and £10, the Bank was considering plans to launch a polymer £50. Governors and Court had approved a polymer £50 and the Banknote Character Advisory Committee had been re‐convened. 1.3 The Chair advised that the Chancellor’s Spring Statement the previous day had announced a call for evidence relating to the future of cash. The results of this exercise could impact the future of the £50 and it would be inappropriate for the Bank to press forward with a polymer £50 while the Government was considering the future denominational mix. 1.4 The closing date for receipt of evidence is 5 June and a decision might be expected around the Autumn budget. If HM Treasury decided to continue with the denomination and the Bank chose to develop a polymer £50, the Bank could presumptively make an announcement in early 2019 to avoid the public nomination process spanning Christmas 2018. 1 2 Equality considerations for selecting the field 2.1 The Bank reminded the Committee that equality considerations need to be consciously considered during the character selection process.

Firstly, it experimen- ted a new way of functioning, dedicating a semester to the interdisciplinary subject of «modular forms, periods and scattering amplitudes», hosting over forty physicists and mathematicians, with a school, a workshop and other events involving several young scientists and putting into contact participants with scientists of ETH. Secondly, the Institute was evaluated by an international committee, who was very positively impressed by the achievements of the Institute and gave interesting suggestions for improvement. Thirdly, on a more personal note, this was my last year as the director of the ETH-ITS; the last six years were an intense period in which I had the unique opportunity to meet scientists in a variety of subjects who are shaping their respective disciplines. I thank the donors for making this possible, the Fellows of the Institute for their excellent scientific contributions, the school board of ETH Zurich for their continuous support, the Advisory Committee for its commitment and advice, and Christina Buchmann, who is retiring this year as coordinator, for her invaluable help and competence in running the Institute.

Autor: Vallejo Luis, Raúl Tutor: Alonso Ripoll, Francisco Javier Departamento de Ingeniería Eléctrica Valladolid, Julio de 2019 MOVILIDAD ELÉCTRICA EN EL TRANSPORTE DE VIAJEROS 2 MOVILIDAD ELÉCTRICA EN EL TRANSPORTE DE VIAJEROS Resumen Una de las principales preocupaciones de la sociedad a día de hoy es el cambio climático, de ahí que, para intentar combatirlo, se están lanzando multitud de cambios en nuestras costumbres cotidianas. Una de estas novedades es la aparición del coche eléctrico y en el caso del transporte de viajeros, el autobús híbrido o 100% eléctrico. A lo largo del trabajo se van a ir detallando los modelos de autobuses eléctricos e híbridos que están en el mercado actualmente, así como los tipos de motores y baterías que éstos emplean. Asimismo, se va a realizar la simulación de uno de estos autobuses eléctricos 100% para comprender mejor cuales son los sistemas en los que hay que aumentar la eficiencia con el objetivo de mejorar un poco más la duración de la batería del autobús, comparar el rendimiento y la autonomía al variar el ciclo de conducción y obtener finalmente los parámetros de tensión, intensidad, potencia, rendimiento y aceleración del motor.

  • You Might Be a Robot
    \\jciprod01\productn\C\CRN\105-2\CRN203.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-MAY-20 13:27 YOU MIGHT BE A ROBOT Bryan Casey† & Mark A. Lemley‡ As robots and artificial intelligence (AI) increase their influ- ence over society, policymakers are increasingly regulating them. But to regulate these technologies, we first need to know what they are. And here we come to a problem. No one has been able to offer a decent definition of robots and AI—not even experts. What’s more, technological advances make it harder and harder each day to tell people from robots and robots from “dumb” machines. We have already seen disas- trous legal definitions written with one target in mind inadver- tently affecting others. In fact, if you are reading this you are (probably) not a robot, but certain laws might already treat you as one. Definitional challenges like these aren’t exclusive to robots and AI. But today, all signs indicate we are approaching an inflection point. Whether it is citywide bans of “robot sex brothels” or nationwide efforts to crack down on “ticket scalp- ing bots,” we are witnessing an explosion of interest in regu- lating robots, human enhancement technologies, and all things in between. And that, in turn, means that typological quandaries once confined to philosophy seminars can no longer be dismissed as academic. Want, for example, to crack down on foreign “influence campaigns” by regulating social media bots? Be careful not to define “bot” too broadly (like the California legislature recently did), or the supercomputer nes- tled in your pocket might just make you one.

    MPJO-500-01: ETHICS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY: MPS JOURNALISM Wednesdays, 5:20 p.m. to 7:50 p.m. | Spring 2017 Associate Professor: Brooke Van Dam, Ph.D. Downtown campus, Room C116 Office hours are by appointment COURSE OVERVIEW Journalists are confronted with ethical dilemmas on a routine basis that can challenge their personal and professional ideologies. This course explores the myriad of gray areas that dominate the way journalists work and live.
