Nas Academy

The U.S. National Academies (NAS) and the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS), building on a foundation of years of interacademy cooperation, conducted a joint project to identify U.S. and Russian views on what the international nuclear security environment will be in 2015, what challenges may arise from that environment, and what options the U.S. and Russia have in partnering to address those challenges.

This book summarizes key issues and analyses of the topic, offers some criteria for evaluating options, and makes findings and recommendations to help the United States, the Russian Federation, and the international community reduce proliferation and other risks, as nuclear power is used more widely. This book is intended for all those who are concerned about the need for assuring fuel for new reactors and at the same time limiting the spread of nuclear weapons.

But what does the word global in the phrase global technology mean? Does it mean finding a way to feed, clothe, house, and otherwise serve the 9 billion people who will soon live on the planet? Does it mean competing with companies around the world to build and sell products and services? On a more immediate and practical level, can the rise of global technology be expected to create or destroy U.S. jobs? The National Academy of Engineering held a three-hour forum exploring these and related questions.

Main findings and concerning renewable resource assessments, technology development, environmental impacts, market infrastructure, among others, are presented. Specific recommendations have been limited to those judged to be most likely to accelerate the pace of deployment, increase cost-competitiveness, or shape the future market for renewable energy. The recommendations presented here are also pragmatic and achievable.

The aim of this issue is to examine major points of strain in academic research careers from the point of view of both the faculty members and the institutions. National experts from a variety of disciplines and institutions discussed practices and strategies already in use on various campuses and identified issues as yet not effectively addressed.

In celebration of the 2020 GRAMMY® nominees, the Recording Academy®'s GRAMMY Recordings® and Warner Records will join forces to release the 2020 GRAMMY Nominees album on Jan. 17, 2020, in stores and via digital retailers. The 26th installment of the best-selling series will feature a diverse collection of the year's most impactful GRAMMY-nominated music for the upcoming 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards®. A portion of album proceeds benefit the year-round work of the GRAMMY Museum® and MusiCares®—two charitable organizations founded by the Recording Academy committed to music education initiatives and providing critical assistance for music people in need. Music fans can pre-order the album at 2020GRAMMYalbum.com or cbs.com/GRAMMYs and enter for a chance to win a trip for two to the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2020, at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles.

The intent of this book is highlight innovative developments in engineering research and technical work. This volume presents papers on the topics covered at the National Academy of Engineering's 2016 US Frontiers of Engineering Symposium.

This volume considers important questions about the human application of genome editing including: balancing potential benefits with unintended risks, governing the use of genome editing, incorporating societal values into clinical applications and policy decisions, and respecting the inevitable differences across nations and cultures that will shape how and whether to use these new technologies.
