Bratkovsky (Bratkovski) joined the Quantum Structures Research Initiative Department at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, as a regular member in 1996 (on right in the photo). Dr. Bratkovsky graduated with honors from the Department of Theoretical Nuclear Physics at Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in 1979. That same year he started his PhD project at V.M.Galitskii Many-Body Systems Lab at Kurchatov Institute for Atomic Energy, Moscow, where he was granted a PhD degree in 1982. After finishing his PhD, Alex Bratkovsky became a member of the technical staff (first junior then senior researcher) at Kurchatov Institute, which has since become the first Russian Scientific Research Center. During 1985-1990, he also worked as a part-time Assistant Professor in the Theoretical Physics Department, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (also known as Moscow Phystech,). He supervised one PhD student who successfully obtained his degree and was later awarded a prestigious Humboldt Fellowship in Germany and two Master's diplomas.

Extractions: 4,000 years of women in science! Did you know that? Women are, and always have been, scientists. This site lists over 125 names from our scientific and technical past. They are all women! This site grew out of the public talks given by Dr. Sethanne Howard, currently with the National Science Foundation. Profiled here are African American men and women who have contributed to the advancement of science and engineering. The accomplishments of the past and present can serve as pathfinders to present and future engineers and scientists. African American chemists, biologists, inventors, engineers, and mathematicians have contributed in both large and small ways that can be overlooked when chronicling the history of science.
Extractions: Environmental Scanning at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education: A Progress Report by Edward G. Simpson, Jr., Donna L. McGinty and James L. Morrison Simpson, Edward G. Jr., Donna L. McGinty, and James L. Morrison. (1987, Autumn) Environmental Scanning at the Georgia Center for Continuing Education: A Progress Report. Continuing higher education review Brown and Weiner (1985) define environmental scanning as a kind of radar to scan the world systematically and signal the new, the unexpected, the major and the minor (p. ix). Aguilar (1967) has defined scanning as the systematic collection of external information in order to (1) lessen the randomness of information flowing into the organization and (2) provide early warnings for managers of changing external conditions. More specifically, Coates (1985) has identified the objectives of an environmental scanning system as: detecting scientific, technical, economic, social, and political interactions and other elements important to the organization defining the potential threats, opportunities, or potential changes for the organization implied by those events

Minds - gifted men with ideas and vision Manpower - workers leaving the rural areas to come to the cities for jobs Managers - leadership to manage factories and shops Materials - coal, iron ore and other natural resources Money - capital made on wars and trade ventures available for investment Markets - a large colonial empire and established trade agreements Modes of transportation - roads, rail and shipping facilities The consumer may have benefited from industrialization, but in most cases the worker did not. More goods were available and usually at lower prices but at what cost to the worker. Factory conditions deteriorated making them unsafe and unhealthy with low pay and long hours. Government usually favored the factory owners, therefore reform and protective legislation was a long time in coming. Freed of the bonds of patronage and crowded by the invention of the camera, the artist had to redefine his role in a rapidly changing society. Stepping outside the establishment gave him the freedom to comment, protest or simply portray his impressions. Art was dynamic, experimental and often times rebellious. The Romantic artists perused beauty in nature and the splendors of past ages. Realists attempted the truthful portrayal of the real world, objective and unprejudiced. Impressionists were more interested in perception while Post-Impressionist artists gave personal significance to their subject matter.

Alexander Graham Bell: The Inventor http://www.fitzgeraldstudio.com/html/bell/inventor.html - Although the telephone is Bell's most famous invention, it is not, by a long shot, his only invention. "Alexander Graham Bell's first invention, a device for cleaning wheat, was developed when he was just eleven years old. At the age of 75, a year before his death, he received a patent on the fastest water craft in the world: the HD-4. Between these two inventions, Bell's fertile brain formulated hundreds of new concepts." Air conditioning, CD-ROMS, and solar heating panels are a few of the many modern conveniences that can be traced to Bell.
