Presupuesto 2001: NSF y NASA obtienen victorias en el último minuto
Science (New York, N.Y.)
|September 5, 2007
Resumen
El Congreso aprobó aumentos presupuestarios sustanciales tanto para la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias (NSF) como para la NASA en 2001. La NSF recibió un impulso significativo, mientras que la NASA recibió un impulso significativo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencia y Tecnología Financiación de la Ciencia y la Tecnología.
- Presupuestos del Gobierno Presupuestos del Gobierno
- Investigación Investigación Inversión en investigación.
Sus antecedentes:
- Las asignaciones presupuestarias del Congreso son cruciales para el avance científico.
- Es posible que los niveles de financiación anteriores no hayan cumplido con las solicitudes de la agencia.
- La Casa Blanca propuso aumentos presupuestarios específicos para el año 2001.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Informar sobre las asignaciones presupuestarias del Congreso de 2001 para la NASA y la NSF.
- Para detallar los aumentos financieros asignados a estas agencias.
- Para comparar los fondos asignados con las solicitudes y propuestas iniciales.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis de los proyectos de presupuesto del Congreso para el año fiscal 2001.
- Comparación de los fondos asignados con las solicitudes presupuestarias de la Casa Blanca.
- Identificación de las asignaciones dentro de los créditos.
Principales resultados:
- La Fundación Nacional de Ciencias (NSF, por sus siglas en inglés) recibió $4.420 millones, un aumento de $522 millones (17%).
- La NASA recibió 14.300 millones de dólares, superando significativamente el aumento del 3% propuesto por la Casa Blanca.
- Se agregaron importantes asignaciones al presupuesto de la NASA, que ascienden a cientos de millones de dólares.

00:51Energy Budgets and Reproductive Strategies
Organisms must balance energy intake with the energy required for growth, maintenance, and reproduction. These trade-offs result in a variety of survivorship and reproductive strategies, including semelparity and iteroparity. Semelparous species reproduce only once in their lifetime, often investing most available resources into that single reproductive event. Iteroparous species, by contrast, reproduce multiple times over their lifetimes, typically allocating fewer resources to any single...
01:12Rocket Propulsion In Empty Space - II
The motion of a rocket is governed by the conservation of momentum principle. A rocket's momentum changes by the same amount (with the opposite sign) as the ejected gases. As time goes by, the rocket's mass (which includes the mass of the remaining fuel) continuously decreases, and its velocity increases. Therefore, the principle of conservation of momentum is used to explain the dynamics of a rocket's motion. The ideal rocket equation gives the change in velocity that a rocket experiences by...
01:03Rocket Propulsion in Gravitational Field - II
A rocket's velocity in the presence of a gravitational field is decreased by the amount of force exerted by Earth's gravitational field, which opposes the motion of the rocket. If we consider thrust, that is, the force exerted on a rocket by the exhaust gases, then a rocket's thrust is greater in outer space than in the atmosphere or on a launch pad. In fact, gases are easier to expel in a vacuum.
A rocket's acceleration depends on three major factors, consistent with the equation for the...

01:13Rocket Propulsion in Empty Space - I
The driving force for the motion of any vehicle is friction, but in the case of rocket propulsion in space, the friction force is not present. The motion of a rocket changes its velocity (and hence its momentum) by ejecting burned fuel gases, thus causing it to accelerate in the direction opposite to the velocity of the ejected fuel. In this situation, the mass and velocity of the rocket constantly change along with the total mass of ejected gases. Due to conservation of momentum, the rocket's...
02:45Nuclear Fusion
The process of converting very light nuclei into heavier nuclei is also accompanied by the conversion of mass into large amounts of energy, a process called fusion. The principal source of energy in the sun is a net fusion reaction in which four hydrogen nuclei fuse and ultimately produce one helium nucleus and two positrons.
A helium nucleus has a mass that is 0.7% less than that of four hydrogen nuclei; this lost mass is converted into energy during the fusion. This reaction produces about...

01:20Rocket Propulsion in Gravitational Field - I
Rockets range in size from small fireworks that ordinary people use to the enormous Saturn V that once propelled massive payloads toward the Moon. The propulsion of all rockets, jet engines, deflating balloons, and even squids and octopuses are explained by the same physical principle: Newton's third law of motion. The matter is forcefully ejected from a system, producing an equal and opposite reaction on what remains.
The motion of a rocket in space changes its velocity (and hence its...
