THWONK is revolutionary because it gives you full access to manipulate and change the social rules of email list communication! These are the types of eMail lists that you can design using THWONK: Bump Lists: Subscription is limited to X subscribers. When a new subscriber joins the list, they "bump" or "unsubscribe" older subscribers already on the list. Users must "re-subscribe" to join. Time Lists: Users must post to the list within a given amount of time, otherwise they are automatically unsubscribed. Convergent Lists: The subject matter of messages sent by participants is analyzed with those of other "Convergent Lists" and if similar topics are being discussed, the two convergent lists then join into one list. Divergent Lists: The subject matter of messages sent by participants is analyzed and if one or more participants continually discuss the same subject heading for longer than the prescribed amount of posts, those discussing the topic are diverted to a new, separate list. Location Lists: This type of list will dynamically tag all email responses with the distance in miles from where it was sent to each individual participant. Invent New Lists: With THWONK you can create, invent and build new types of lists. THWONK lets you write your own list rules!

The topics covered in the journal will be of relevance to physicians, researchers as well as specialists. Our target audience is Medical fraternity across the globe. We aim to use this e-journal to publish the findings of doctors working at the ground level and that of young researchers. JCDR strongly supports research that will benefit medical science and discourages the publication of articles that merely represent pre-established and repetitive facts. However, at times, the journal does allow publication of articles that may have been reported in Western literature but have not been reported from the developing and the underdeveloped world. This is with a dual aim, to promote medical publication from these countries and to recognize the fact that disease and disease behaviour may vary widely between populations. Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is available free of charge as an Open Access journal on the Internet. Abstracts available online. Articles available in HTML and PDF format. posted by Marcus | 4:31 AM Corkboard - Helps You Remember What You Want http://www.corkboard.it/ You see, hear or think about something you want to remember.

Just read, click and learn. This site is dedicated to the collection, preservation and presentation of educational material. To participate in the World Wide School all you need to do is to invest your time. For whatever reason, many people may find it difficult to broaden their education by traditional means; attending high school or college can seem like an impossible dream. That is why they are offering an education via the Web. They are still stocking The Hart Library, which comprises of classic titles including those from the collection of The Gutenberg Project. This is a complete library containing everything from fairy tales and poetry to mathematical dissertations and reference material. Please note that many of the books and other works provided on this site were written many years ago, before the invention of radio, atomic bombs, and automobiles. Some are even older, written when the world was run by Kings and Queens, and most people did not know how to read. The works reflect the times in which they were written, and many contain views about race, religion, science and other things that we find offensive or just plain wrong today. They believe that part of value of these works is the window they provide on the past -- but of course the views, opinions and beliefs they express are not necessarily those of World Wide School. By providing these books they do not mean to advocate ANY point of view, except that education and reading are good.

It is an academic journal for the dissemination of leading studies in marketing, for researchers, students, educators, scholars, and practitioners. The objective of the AMJ is to publish articles that enrich and contribute to the advancement of the discipline and the practice of marketing. Therefore, manuscripts accepted for publication will be theoretically sound, offer significant research findings and insights, and suggest meaningful implications and recommendations. Articles reporting original empirical research should include defensible methodology and findings consistent with rigorous academic standards. posted by Marcus | 4:33 AM International Data Base (IDB) of the U.S. Census Bureau http://www.census.gov/ipc/www/idb/index.php The International Data Base (IDB) offers a variety of demographic indicators for countries and areas of the world with a population of 5,000 or more. The IDB has provided access to demographic data for over 25 years to governments, academics, other organizations, and the public. It is funded by organizations that sponsor the research of the Census Bureau's International Programs Center. The IDB provides many types of demographic data, including: a) Estimates and projections of: 1) Birth, death, and growth rates, migration rates, infant mortality, and life expectancy; 2) Fertility rates; and ) Total population and population by age and sex. The demographic estimates and projections found in the International Data Base are the result of over 30 years of analysis of census, survey, vital statistics, and other data by Census Bureau demographers. The IDB differs from some other online resources in several ways. First, the estimates and projections of vital rates, vital events, and midyear population presented are based on careful evaluation of census and survey results and, in part because of this evaluation process and associated estimation processes, represent a set of consistent estimates and projections of population, fertility, mortality, and international migration. The IDB is not simply a compilation of estimates taken from other sources. Second, estimates from original sources are accurately dated, and derived estimates of fertility and mortality available from the IDB reflect that dating. Third, the projections are generated using the Census Bureau's Rural/Urban Projection (RUP) program, which projects population, by single years of age, for each calendar year beyond a base year. This means IDB fertility and mortality estimates pertain to specific years rather than being average values for 5-year periods. It also means that the impact of natural disasters, civil conflicts, and changes in the health climate in a country can be reflected in year-specific estimates of fertility, mortality, and migration found in the IDB. Finally, the data are accessible in multiple ways to meet different user needs. Find tabular data for countries and regions as well as demographic indicators, population pyramids and source information for countries.

Baba Kofi Weusijana, Vanessa Svihla, Drue Gawel, and John Bransford describe their use of a maze constructed in Second Life to help students experience firsthand the phenomena described in their educational psychology course. Their use of Second Life is particularly notable in its use of MUVE-based movies and other strategies to leverage Second Life's interactive powers for exploration despite restricted access to technology. The examples they present can hopefully lead to new designs and uses of virtual environments that allow students to experience relevant phenomena and enable researchers to conduct additional experiments of virtual, experience-rich additions to traditional ways to teach and learn.

In 2008, Mozenda accomplished this goal by launching the first of its kind Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for performing comprehensive web data gathering (a.k.a web data extraction, screen scraping, web crawling, web harvesting, etc.), data management, and data publishing. Mozenda, or "more zenful data", is now a reality. The concept of "more zenful data" describes the better way in which people can acquire, utilize, and share all types of data through the Mozenda system. It is also the driving philosophy of the employees who put the user's experience first above everything else and who believe anyone should be able to quickly and easily acquire data from the web. As a SaaS company, Mozenda offers any individual or company a compelling alternative to the costly traditional hardware/software/services sales model. Its revolutionary SaaS model can reduce the total cost of ownership up to 80% over alternative solutions while adding additional features, capabilities, and conveniences.

Scientists, researchers and scholars across the UK generate increasingly vast amounts of digital data, with further investment in digitisation and purchase of digital content and information. The scientific record and the documentary heritage created in digital form are at risk from technology obsolescence, from the fragility of digital media, and from lack of the basics of good practice, such as adequate documentation for the data. Working with other practitioners, the Digital Curation Centre will support UK institutions who store, manage and preserve these data to help ensure their enhancement and their continuing long-term use. Digital curation is maintaining and adding value to a trusted body of digital information for current and future use; specifically, we mean the active management and appraisal of data over the life-cycle of scholarly and scientific materials.

The reviews are aimed at a general computer science audience seeking a full and expert overview of the latest in computer science research. The journal will publish research surveys and expository overviews in computer science. Articles from other fields are welcome, as long as their content is relevant to computer science. Articles should be of sufficient scientific interest and help to advance the fundamental understanding of ongoing research, applied or theoretical, for a general computer science audience. The treatment of each topic should be more than a catalogue of known results. Emphasis should be on clarity and originality of presentation and each survey should add insight to the topic under review. posted by Marcus | 4:39 AM Export-U.com - Free Export Webinars Portal from University of Georgia SBDC http://www.export-u.com/ This is a portal to free export webinars under development by the U.

Traditional dictionaries make you wait until they've found what they consider to be "enough" information about a word before they will show it to you. Wordnik knows you don't want to wait — if you're interested in a word, they are interested too! Their goal is to show you as much information as possible, just as fast as they can find it, for every word in English, and to give you a place where you can make your own opinions about words known. By "information," they don't just mean traditional definitions (although they have plenty of those)! This information could be: a) An example sentence — even if they have only found one sentence for a word, they will show it to you. (And they will show you where the sentence came from, too!); b) Related words: not just synonyms and antonyms, but words that are used in the same contexts. (For instance, cheeseburger, milkshake, and doughnut are not synonyms, but they show up in the same kinds of sentences.); c) Images tagged by their friends at Flickr: want to know what a "pout" looks like? They will show you; d) Statistics: how rare is "tintinnabulation"? Well, they think you'll see it only about once a year. "Smile"? You might see that word many times, every day; e) An audio pronunciation — and you can record your own!; and f) Something YOU tell us!

Submission of papers consistent with this view are encouraged. The Editorial Board wishes particularly to encourage papers: (1) likely to be of interest to more than one professional group, (2) summarising, at a sufficiently technical level, work done on projects of special interest, or (3) offering extensive critical reviews. The board also wants to promote the publication of articles on, or that are relevant to, energy issues in developing countries and on North-South and South-South cooperation in energy technology development and application. The Board considers the publication of highly specialized work more appropriate to other professional journals. The criteria for acceptance of the papers in ESD are therefore quality of the work and its presentation and breadth of interest, irrespective of whether the paper reports research or development, theory or experiment, original work or review.

This is still a work in progress (see details below), but so far it's proven quite useful and they feel others can also benefit from it. They should stress that this application is not intended to be a general purpose archiving program. It will never replace WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc. What it will do is allow you to extract files from virtually any type of archive, regardless of source, compression method, etc. The original motivation behind this project was that they wanted an easy, convenient way to extract files from installation packages, such as Inno Setup or Windows Installer packages, without pulling up a command line every time. In the process I got a little carried away and ended up throwing in support for every kind of archive format I possibly could find. Universal Extractor, like most of my Windows programs, is written in AutoIt, a powerful open source scripting language. Universal Extractor itself, however, is just a front-end that uses many other programs to do the work. This has been added to World Wide Web Reference Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

While institutional repositories are proficient in managing text-based research such as articles, books, and theses, they are not yet attuned to the requirements of images and time-based media. The Kultur project aims to change this by creating a flexible multimedia repository that will be able to showcase a wide range of outputs, from digital versions of painting, photography, film, graphic and textile design, to records of performances, shows and installations.

The primary criterion for including a term is whether a librarian or other information professional might reasonably be expected to know its meaning in the course of his or her work. A newly coined term is added when, in the author's judgment, it is likely to become a permanent addition to the lexicon of library and information science. The dictionary reflects North American practice; however, because ODLIS was first developed as an online resource available worldwide, with an e-mail contact address for feedback, users from many countries have contributed to its growth, often suggesting additional terms and commenting on existing definitions. Expansion of the dictionary is an ongoing process. Broad in scope, ODLIS includes not only the terminology of the various specializations within library science and information studies but also the vocabulary of publishing, printing, binding, the book trade, graphic arts, book history, literature, bibliography, telecommunications, and computer science when, in the author's judgment, a definition might prove helpful to librarians and information specialists in their work. Entries are descriptive, with examples provided when appropriate. The definitions of terms used in the Anglo-American Cataloging Rules follow AACR2 closely and are therefore intended to be prescriptive. The dictionary includes some slang terms and idioms and a few obsolete terms, often as See references to the term in current use. When the meaning of a term varies according to the field in which it is used, priority is given to the definition that applies within the field with which it is most closely associated. Definitions unrelated to library and information science are generally omitted. As a rule, definition is given under an acronym only when the full term is rarely used. Alphabetization is letter-by-letter. The authority for spelling and hyphenation is Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language (College Edition). URLs, current as of date of publication, are updated annually. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
