Its scope covers both within-host dynamics of infectious agents and dynamics at the population level, particularly the interaction between the two. Areas of emphasis include: spread, transmission, persistence, implications and population dynamics of infectious diseases; population and public health as well as policy aspects of control and prevention; dynamics at the individual level; interaction with the environment, ecology and evolution of infectious diseases, as well as the population genetics and molecular evolution of infectious agents. The journal will only publish papers that use high quality novel or published data in their analysis. Successful manuscripts are typically multidisciplinary and integrative. Papers of a more theoretical or methodological nature which do not contain significant data-analysis, will be considered if they represent a major conceptual advance of practical or scientific interest. Purely mathematical papers without such broader relevance will not be appropriate for the journal. Aside from original research and reviews the journal will also publish short essays (between 300 and 800 words) as well as editorials.

Privnote is a free web based service that allows you to send top secret notes over the internet. It's fast, easy, and requires no password or user registration at all. Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, they will see the note in their browser and the note will automatically self-destruct; which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore. You can optionally choose to be notified when your note is read by leaving your email and a reference for the note.

There is increasing scientific and clinical interest in the interactions of nutrition and health as part of the aging process. This interest is due to the important role that nutrition plays throughout the life span. This role affects the growth and development of the body during childhood, affects the risk of acute and chronic diseases, the maintenance of physiological processes and the biological process of aging. A major aim of The Journal of Nutrition, Health & Aging is to contribute to the improvement of knowledge regarding the relationships between nutrition and the aging process from birth to old age. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:34 AM  Visibility Exchange http://www.visibilityexchange.com/ Visibility Exchange allows companies to leverage their audience by exchanging visibility in their newsletters for comparable exposure. Their tag line pretty much says it all – “Your audience for my audience – DEAL!” Visibility Exchange is all about leveraging your existing resources in order to gain exposure without the need to tap into your marketing budget. In this case, the resource you are leveraging is your subscriber database. Are they suggesting that you give others access to your database? - ABSOLUTELY NOT. All they are talking about here is simply allowing someone to advertising in your newsletter or to your database of subscribers, in exchange for them allowing you to do the same. The idea is to locate non-competitive members within a group who cater to your desired demographic, and structure a relationship that would allow each party to gain exposure to the others audience without money changing hands.

Their goal is to provide advanced search tools for the vast amount of information available on the Internet, in books, research articles, blogs, news, or wikis. They currently provide access to the first several million scholarly articles. Q-Sensei's approach applies innovative search technologies to various heterogeneous data pools; their users can easily browse through a data source as well as discover cross-references between individual records. The data on the Q-Sensei web site is compiled from the Internet and from our content partners. They process the data and extract information to be displayed within a scheme of Kinds and Attributes. The results can be easily and intuitively accessed with Q-Sensei's patented Search and Presentation engine. Their technology supports multi-dimensional searches, gives further search suggestions, and provides clear and concise overviews of the current stage of the search. They are convinced that a truly great and effective search engine needs to combine ideas from various areas. The search technology is the foundation the search experience builds on. Linking and connecting data from different types of databases put search results in a larger context. Also, user participation is invited and enhances the data in a way that computers are still unable to provide.
