April 24, 2008."Paper version available from: U.S. Govt. Accountability Office, 441 G St., NW, Rm. LM, Washington, D.C. 20548.Includes bibliographical references.In this report, GAO reviewed the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), a multiagency effort administered by the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP). The NNI coordinates the nanotechnology-related activities of 25 federal agencies that fund nanoscale research or have a stake in the results. A key research area funded by some agencies related to studying the potential environmental, health, and safety (EHS) risks that may result from exposure to nanoscale materials. For this testimony statement, GAO was asked to summarize the findings of its March 2008 report, focusing on (1) the extent to which selected agencies conducted EHS research in fiscal year 2006; (2) the reasonableness of the agencies' and the NNI's processes to identify and prioritize EHS research; and (3) the effectiveness of the agencies' and the NNI's process to coordinate EHS research.Nanotechnology NanotechnologyEnvironmental aspectsUnited StatesNanotechnologyHealth aspectsUnited StatesNanotechnologyStandardsUnited StatesNanotechnologyResearchUnited StatesNanotechnologyEnvironmental aspectsNanotechnologyHealth aspectsNanotechnologyStandardsNanotechnologyResearchRobinson Robert A244511United States.Congress.Senate.Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Innovation.United States.Government Accountability Office.EJBEJBEJBGPOBOOK9910696611003321Nanotechnology3519551UNINA05409nam 2200745 450 991082566240332120200520144314.01-4443-9625-01-118-78275-51-4443-9624-21-4443-9626-9(CKB)3460000000124190(EBL)700480(OCoLC)866840626(SSID)ssj0001128591(PQKBManifestationID)12412167(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001128591(PQKBWorkID)11065973(PQKB)10508037(SSID)ssj0001110715(PQKBManifestationID)11622336(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001110715(PQKBWorkID)11125912(PQKB)11132738(MiAaPQ)EBC700480(Au-PeEL)EBL700480(CaPaEBR)ebr10826703(CaONFJC)MIL556852(PPN)244380678(EXLCZ)99346000000012419020140125h20142014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrConstantine dynasty, religion and power in the later Roman empire /Timothy Barnes ; cover design by Richard BoxhallChichester, England :Wiley-Blackwell,2014.©20141 online resource (290 p.)Blackwell ancient livesDescription based upon print version of record.1-306-25601-1 1-4051-1727-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.Constantine: Dynasty, Religion and Power in the Later Roman Empire; Copyright; Contents; List of Illustrations; Preface; Abbreviations; 1 Introduction; Official Lies and the 'Constantinian Question' ; The Progress of Historical Research ; Contemporary Perspectives on Constantine ; Lactantius; Eusebius of Caesarea; The epigrammatist Palladas; Coins, Inscriptions and Monuments; 2 The Soldier and the Stable-Girl ; The Social Status of Helena ; The Marriage of Constantine's Parents; Constantius' Second Wife; The Later Life of Helena; 3 Constantine, the Ruins of Babylon and the Court of PharaohThe Diocletianic Tetrarchy (293-305)The Appointment of New Emperors ; Constantine in the East (293-305) ; The Dynastic Coup of 305 ; 4 The Road to Rome; Constantine's Proclamation and Recognition as Emperor ; Politics and Warfare 306-310; The Vision of Constantine; The Invasion of Italy ; Constantine in Rome and Christmas 312 ; Constantinian Churches in Rome ; Appendix: The Status of Constantine 306-311 ; 5 Brothers-in-Law ; Constantine and Licinius in Milan ; Was there an 'Edict of Milan'?
