	Harvard Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences (DEAS) is a unit of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University responsible for research, as well as undergraduate and graduate education in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, and technology.
		The faculty of the division comprise approximately forty tenured professors, twenty untenured associate and assistant professors, and various lecturers.
		In 1906, however, the Harvard Corporation decided to abolish the Lawerence Scientic School and to incorporate its faculty, students, and degree programs into FAS as the "Graduate School of Engineering." By the 1930s, the school offered both undergraduate and graduate degrees and benefits from periodic grants from the Gordon McKay Bequest.

	Harvard University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harvard has the world's fourth largest library collection (after the Library of Congress, the British Library, and the University of California), and the largest financial endowment of any academic institution, standing at $25.9 billion as of 2005, and the second largest endowment for a non-profit organization behind only the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
		Harvard has a friendly rivalry with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology which dates back to 1900, when a merger of the two schools was frequently mooted and at one point officially agreed upon (ultimately canceled by Massachusetts courts).
		Harvard is governed by two boards, the President and Fellows of Harvard College, also known as the Harvard Corporation and founded in 1650, and the Harvard Board of Overseers.

	Faculty Profile
		The new science hub is intended to boost collaboration in the areas of nanoscale and mesoscale science, the study of materials on an atomic scale or slightly larger.
		Laboratories are housed in the one-third of LISE that's aboveground.
		This year Harvard and the Agassiz neighborhood formalized a working relationship in a Memorandum of Understanding affirming that new academic facilities can serve both Harvard's and Agassiz's interests so long as significant impacts are mitigated, the community is enhanced, and long-term predictability of future development is established for both the University and community.

	Harvard Gazette: Triangular taps yield tiniest droplets, researchers determine
		Triangular nozzles provide the tiniest droplets, say researchers in Harvard University's Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences who used a mathematical algorithm to determine that a miniature three-sided tap could produce drips some 21 percent smaller than a conventional round nozzle.
		Chen and Brenner came across the new and improved tap shape - a triangle with slightly concave sides - using an algorithm developed to optimize the shape of mechanical devices, including ones familiar from everyday experience.
		In addition to taps, Chen and Brenner see their mathematical methods applied to a number of other examples, including a new switch with a shape deemed optimal and a coffee cup whose form facilitates boiling and convection.

		Cambridge, MA -- While science's conventional wisdom holds that pollution feeds global warming, new research suggests that the reverse could also occur: A warming globe could stifle summer's cleansing winds over the Northeast and Midwest over the next 50 years, significantly worsening air pollution in these regions.
		It takes known elements such as the sun's luminosity, the earth's topography, the distribution of the oceans, the pull of gravity and the tilt of the earth's axis, and figures in variables provided by researchers.

	Harvard scientists discover how the venus flytrap snaps
		Their study, published in the Jan. 27 issue of the journal Nature, investigates the series of events that occur from the time the plant's leaves are stimulated to the time the trap is clamped shut.
		One day, engineers might be able to emulate the plant's ingenious alternative to muscle-powered movements in tiny artificial devices, such as those that control the flow of minute amounts of liquids or gases.
		Prior explanations of Venus flytrap operation have cited a loosening of cell walls combined with a quick loss of cellular pressure, but it had not been clear how these cellular mechanisms alone could produce the lightning-fast closure of the entire leaf.
