Arab Science – Historical Perspective
History of Science is found in four Eras1. Greeks contribution to science: 450BC-200BC ….. 250 years2. Chinese contribution to science: AD 600-700 ….. 100 years3. Arab golden era of science: AD 750- 1100 ….. 350 years4. Europe & the West contribution to science: AD 1350 onwards
Arab led the way in mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry and medicine.The foundations of modern science was led by:
Jaber-bin-Hayan, chemistryAl-Khawarzmi, mathematicsAl-Razi, Chemistry and MedicineIbn-Sina, MedicineIbn-Alhaisam, OpticsAl-Bairuni, physics and MedicineIbn-Rushd, Musa Bin Memoun, Tusi and Ibn-Nafis, scientific literatures
Arab scholars introduced the most significant single innovation to the world, their system of writing numbers

The Syracuse CoE was established by Gov. Pataki in June 2002 to create jobs and foster investment in the State as part of the Empire State High-Tech Corridor, and to spur economic growth in the Central New York region. The CoE, a federation led by Syracuse University, includes collaborative research, development, education and economic development programs that involve 12 academic and research institutions and more than 60 corporate firms and organizations.
The State has committed approximately $44 million to the Syracuse CoE for investments in facilities and equipment. From that total, $25.5 million will be spent at the headquarters campus project. This includes $2.6 million from the New York Office of Science, Technology and Academic Research (NYSTAR) for the construction of a Total Indoor Environmental Quality (TIEQ) laboratory on the site. The remaining $18.4 million is being spent on campus for new labs and equipment for academic partners.
The mission of the Syracuse CoE is to create innovations to improve built and urban environments. Areas of activity include air quality, water quality, “green” buildings, renewable energy and biofuels. Projects focus on new technologies that improve health, performance, security and sustainability.
Within the Syracuse CoE, corporate and commercialization programs are led by the New York Indoor Environmental Quality (NYIEQ) Center, an independent, nonprofit corporation that was established in 2000 by the Metropolitan Development Association of Syracuse and Central New York. Academic research activities are coordinated primarily through the Environmental Quality Systems

The "National Hydrogen Storage Project"
In July 2003, the DOE issued a “Grand Challenge” to the global scientific community for research and development in hydrogen storage with open competition to universities, industry and national laboratories. This "Grand Challenge" called for the establishment of hydrogen storage Centers of Excellence on Metal Hydrides, Chemical Hydrogen Storage, and Carbon-Based Materials, with multiple university, industry, and federal laboratory partners. In addition, independent projects were solicited on new materials and concepts, off-board hydrogen storage systems, and analyses of life cycle cost, performance and environmental impact.

and having Centers of Excellence without administrators or buildings
is a virtual business. The world of the Internet allows for users of the VCEO
to organize and market in a cyber world…one without bricks and
mortar. The Internet allows them to have "Virtual Centers of Excellence.”
The "Virtual" Center is similar in that it is an assembly of resources that
results in a critical mass of information and services, but not necessarily
bricks and mortar. The Internet and your Web site can:assemblepresent (market)coordinatecommunicateschedule appointments and other servicescreate a Center without the physical trappings of a building
