Typically liquid substances that evaporate easily at average temperatures, plant volatiles play important ecological roles from attracting pollinators to repulsing herbivores and from destroying microorganisms to dispersing seed. Moreover, humans have used plant volatiles since antiquity in the production of perfumes, in medicines, and as spices that serve dual roles of flavoring agent and food preservative. Plants reported to have antimicrobial activity include chilies, clove, garlic, mustard, sage, rosemary and thyme. posted by Marcus | 4:05 AM   Market Share By Net Application Global Market Share Statistics by Net Applications http://marketshare.hitslink.com/ This data provides valuable insight into significant trends for internet usage.

Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: * Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) * Organisational learning * Intellectual capital * Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems. Perhaps as a consequence of this diversity, the knowledge management literature is at present fragmented. Many of the most influential articles on knowledge management appear in journals in fields as diverse as information systems, general management, strategy, organisational sociology or human resources. The literature also often, somewhat misleadingly, presents the subject as split. Current examples of these splits, which should rather be debates, include those between the codification and collaboration schools of thought, and between Western (meaning North American) and Eastern (meaning Japanese) approaches. The intention for this journal is not only to accommodate these and other perspectives, but also to seek common ground between them. The aim of KMRP is to provide an outlet for high-quality, peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of managing knowledge. This will include not just those focused on the organisational level, but all levels from that of the individual to that of the nation or profession. This will include both theoretical and practical aspects, and especially the relationship between the two. There will be a particular emphasis on cross-disciplinary approaches, and on the mixing of hard (e.g. technological) and soft (e.g. cultural or motivational) issues. Rigorous contributions from both academics and practitioners are welcomed. Articles may be empirical research papers, theoretical papers, conceptual papers, case studies or surveys. KMRP will fill the need for a journal specifically concentrating on knowledge management that maintains the highest standards of rigour, and publishes articles that reflect greater multidisciplinary work and/or conceptual integration than those currently published in existing outlets. A cross-disciplinary focus will also enable articles in the journal to address other important tensions in the field of knowledge management, such as those between: * Strategy and operations * People and technology * Short-term and long-term needs * The organisation and the individual This has been added to Knowledge Discovery Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. posted by Marcus | 4:15 AM   Multilingual Glossary of Technical and Popular Medical Terms in Nine European Languages Multilingual Glossary of Technical and Popular Medical Terms in Nine European Languages http://users.ugent.be/~rvdstich/eugloss/welcome.html Executive Summary: The basic list of items for the multilingual vocabulary was compiled from a frequency search of terms in scientific data sheets on medical products. This search was performed on a Dutch language CD-ROM optical disk available from the Belgian Pharmaceutical Association. Due to limited funding and the tight time schedule, thorough academic research and testing had to make way for a more pragmatic approach calling upon a network of (native) professional translators, experienced in medical translations or working closely together with physicians. Assistance was provided by EURODICAUTOM, in the form of printouts of terms available in the European Terminology database. Besides a list of English definitions and translation instructions, the translators were provided with a disk and a free text database highly facilitating data input. Specific instructions and frequent individual monitoring of the translation tasks proved to be a satisfactory approach. As it appears from the project time-table the results of the projects were due at an earlier date. However, as the translators confronted the project leaders with the justifiable request for a definition or context for each of the 1,830 terms. The provision of those definitions proved to be a time-consuming task and resulted in a revision of the deadline from September, 94 to April, 95. The glossary was in the first place meant for the authors of user package leaflets. They will now have at their disposal: a) an English dictionary of 1.830 medical terms, frequently used in written drug information, b) nine glossaries of 1830 scientific and popular medical terms, one in each of the nine official languages of the European Union, c) an electronic database of the dictionary and glossaries, and d) a user-friendly software interface as an Internet application, installed at the World-Wide Web server of the University of Gent, Belgium.

But trying to find podcasts that are of interest to us is reminiscent of the early days of the internet. Instead of using general search techniques, sites attempted to organize all the content on the internet into categories. The diversity of the available content became too cumbersome for mere categorization to be an effective means for people to find what they wanted. Search evolved to where it is today, that is, to look inside websites quickly for words and phrases. Podcasts have been subjected to the same primitive search through categorization ... until now. PODZINGER looks inside podcasts, not just the metadata, letting you search podcasts in the same way that you search for anything else on the web. When you type in a word or terms, PODZINGER not only finds the relevant podcasts, but also highlights the segment of the audio in which they occurred. By clicking anywhere on the results, the audio will begin to play just where you clicked. There are also controls that let you back up, pause, or forward through the podcast. Or you can download the entire podcast. PODZINGER, powered by 30 years of speech recognition research from BBN Technologies, Cambridge, Massachusetts, transforms the audio into words, unlocking the information inside podcasts.

Geocoder.us is a public service providing free geocoding of addresses and intersections in the United States. The geocoding service relies on Geo::Coder::US, a Perl module available for download from the CPAN. How does it work? The US Census Bureau provides location data for nearly every street and highway in the US in the form of the TIGER/Line data set, which runs to over 24 gigabytes uncompressed. Geo::Coder::US condenses the 2004 TIGER/Line data set down to a 750 megabyte BerkeleyDB database. A given address or intersection is parsed into its components, and the matching address range is searched for in the database. The address is then interpolated between the endpoints of the matching address range to estimate its latitude and longitude. For urban addresses, the coordinates given by Geo::Coder::US can be within 10 or 15 meters of the actual location -- which is well within the range of typical GPS accuracy! Other times the coordinates can be off, so use your own judgement when using the data!

Furthermore, the newsletter, can be downloaded from the following homepage: http://www.biopress.dk/ in a Danish or an English version. The power producers Energi E2 and Elsam also grant financial support to the newsletter. The fact is that both have an interest in presenting experience in research and development from a series of CPH plants that have been established under the so-called biomass agreement during recent years. Effective biomass exploitation for the production of energy must be persisted. The newsletter will contribute to an updated overview of the current re-search and development, both concerning specific projects and research programmes. Denmark?s Energy Research Programme governed by the Danish Energy Agency as well as the PSO programmes administrated by the systems responsible power producers are purpose-oriented. There-fore, one of the strong ambitions is to create a profitable contact between researchers and practicians. Furthermore, the newsletter will have room for debating points on the priorities within research and development and for bringing up subjects for discussion with the authorities.

For the most part, it is laid out in small segments or "cards", true to its original development in HyperCard. The entire environment is interconnected with thousands of links, reminiscent of a neural network. The bottom bar of each card contains links to major concept maps for divisions of physics, plus a "go back" feature to allow you to retrace the path of an exploration. The side bar contains a link to the extensive Index, which itself is composed of active links. That sidebar also contains links to relevant concept maps. The rationale for such concept maps is to provide a visual survey of conceptually connected material, and it is hoped that they will provide some answers to the question "where do I go from here?". Whether you need further explanation of concepts which underly the current card content, or are seeking applications which go beyond it, the concept map may help you find the desired information.

Providing a forum for scholarly discussion and research on trends and phenomena (both recent and historical) related to plagiarism, Plagiary features refereed research articles, "Perspectives" articles, book reviews, and responses as a point of focus on issues of vital importance to professional and popular discourse communities. The now somewhat archaic term "Plagiary" will be re-invented, re-invigorated, and used in this publication as a "cover symbol" for the various forms of plagiarism/fabrication/falsification and related fraudulent behaviors which afflict and cheapen modern discourse. In addition to redundancy, information overload and the like, discourse communities must now grapple with some rather serious forms of textual fraud being discovered on a regular basis. Yet along with such fraudulent representations which seem to be quite common across various discourse communities, there are also legimate means of derivative expression, and studies which analyze such topics as mimicry, parody, pastiche and the like are welcome for publications consideration. Plagiary will educate, critique, inform and keep discourse communities aware of current issues and developments across the disciplines. There has been a tremendous interest in these issues related to plagiarism/fabrication/falsification, but the current publications seem to be "all over the place." This new journal will hopefully bring together existing strands of scholarship and create a point of focus for lively discussion, ongoing debate, and presentation of research results.

A location-based reminder can be much more convenient than standard time-based reminders - for example in situations such as: a) When I arrive at the office, remind me to review next week's schedule, b) When I pass supermarket, remind me to buy vegetables, and c) At home remind me to call Dave. When arriving at a marked location, Geominder can play an alarm and display a stored text note or a voice note previously associated to that location. Geominder uses mobile network's cell id information and doesn't require an extra GPS device. Mobile Network cell id information is usually suited for most common day-to-day uses (for example: home - office - shopping). No mobile operator fees are involved in using Geominder. posted by Marcus | 4:00 AM Saturday, February 18, 2006   GreatBuildings.com http://www.greatbuildings.com/ Architecture Online is the leading architecture reference site on the web called GreatBuildings.com.

Trying to uninstall the software might only make the problem worse. Viruses and worms are no longer the biggest threat to computer users – now it's badware. Badware is a term we use to encompass the broad range of malicious software that is sneaking onto people's computers, including spyware and deceptive adware. It can subvert your computer for the benefit for a third party, frustrate you with unwanted advertising, and even steal your most personal information. Badware plagues millions of computers already, and it's eroding people's trust in the internet. Their mission is to fix that. StopBadware.org is a "Neighborhood Watch" campaign aimed at fighting badware. We will seek to provide reliable, objective information about downloadable applications in order to help consumers to make better choices about what they download on to their computers. We aim to become a central clearinghouse for research on badware and the bad actors who spread it, and to become a focal point for developing collaborative, community-minded approaches to stopping badware.

The projects in the Registry are either entirely composed of digitized, U.S. Government publications or include a substantial number of them. Access to the digitized material must be free. In the rare case where a publication includes an element that is copyrighted, e.g. an image, the metadata in the Other Information section of the Registry entries will indicate that distinction. A Registry project entry typically includes a multi-volume publication title, a publication series title, or a specific range of a Federal agency's publications, i.e. a set of publications identified by a classification range or by years of publication. Digitization projects are initiatives to create digitized collections of these sets of resources. Project entries derive from voluntary and solicited contributions from Federal depository and other libraries, Federal and other government agencies, and other non-profit institutions. GPO will input entries for the collections it digitizes. Project entries may include information about planned, in-process, ongoing, and complete projects. Contributors may update their entries at any time to update the status of their project or to change other information as needed.

The journal is particularly interested in publishing work related to issues with social justice and human rights implications, but all significant social issues are of interest. The journal serves as a nexus for the development of an intellectual community interested in these areas, which receive only modest attention in most behavioral outlets despite their potential importance for society. The primary intellectual framework for Behavior and Social Issues is the natural science of behavior, including behavior analysis and cultural analysis, but contributions from contrasting viewpoints are also valued. Appropriate contributions include theoretical and conceptual analyses, research articles and brief reports, dialogues, research reviews, and book reviews. Behavior and Social Issues is an appropriate forum for the work of senior scholars in the field, many of whom serve on the editorial board, as well as for the work of emerging scholars, including students, who have an interest in the contributions of a natural science of behavior to constructing cultures of social justice. The journal, published twice a year, is sponsored by Behaviorists for Social Responsibility.

Their collection was started in 1993 by Jennifer Snider when she discovered the wonders of Usenet newsgroups & Internet mailing lists as a student at the University of California at Berkeley. She started saving recipes posted to those sources and soon amassed thousands of recipes. When her friends found out about the collection, they encouraged her to put them on the web, and she agreed, provided they helped her. After several months of hard work, the recipes first appeared on the web in 1995 as SOAR: The Searchable Online Archive of Recipes. From their start with around 10,000 recipes they have grown the collection to 7 times that size, and had their pages accessed millions of times from around the world. Thanks to their popularity, they have outgrown their original home, so they have moved the collection here to RecipeSource.com, where they hope it will continue to grow, while providing better response time and a better search engine than their old site.

It lets you browse votes in a variety of ways -- both in aggregate and for individual members of Congress. Browse the database by drilling down to a particular Congress (e.g. 109th Congress) or particular member (e.g. 109th Congress senators). This site publishes an RSS feed of recent votes by each member of Congress, and a feed of the most recent votes in both chambers. See the RSS page for full details. This site is generally updated every day, although there is a delay between a vote in Congress and its appearance on the official Congress Web sites.

Currently they monitor EDonkey 2000 and Gnutella networks, and are working on adding FastTrack and BitTorrent. PeerMind registers millions of file-sharing events every week, and you can see the aggregated results on this site. Using that data, they publish weekly charts of top P2P songs, movies, games and software titles. Their charts show the total number of copies of an item that were available on peer-to-peer file sharing networks during the week. As they collect huge amounts of data every week, there are some even more exciting things that can be discovered from that data. Nareos will broaden the range of charts and reports, offering some of them for free to general public. Nareos does not collect the IP Addresses of individual users, and we will never do so.

From keeping abreast of latest news and accessing online journals and datasets, through to finding information about travel and sport, the web has become the information tool of choice. However, despite our apparent dependence on this medium very little attention has been paid to the long-term preservation of websites. Indeed, with the life of an average website estimated to be around 44 days (about the same lifespan as a housefly) there is a danger that invaluable scholarly, cultural and scientific resources will be lost to future generations. To address this problem, a consortium of six leading UK institutions is working collaboratively on a project to develop a test-bed for selective archiving of UK websites. Using PANDAS software, developed by the National Library of Australia, consortium members will archive sites (once appropriate permissions have been obtained from website owners) relevant to their interests. For example, the Wellcome Library will focus on collecting medical sites, whilst the National Library of Wales will collect sites that reflect life in contemporary Wales. The British Library will focus on sites of cultural, historical and political importance. Once sites have been archived, catalogued and checked for completeness, they will be made accessible through this website. Users will be able to browse the archive - using broad subject headings - or search for specific sites and topics. This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Inform,ation Blog.

In the first place, this concerns research in which the boundaries of the classic branches of the law (private law, criminal law, constitutional and administrative law, European and public international law) are crossed and connections are made between these areas of the law, amongst others from a comparative law perspective. In addition, attention will be paid to research in which classic law is brought face to face with not strictly legal disciplines such as economics, political sciences and public administration science. The journal aims to offer room for contributions not only by established researchers, but also and especially wishes to offer to young researchers access to the field of international legal research. An editorial board, composed of both national and foreign renowned researchers strengthens the scientific and international character of the journal. An anonymous assessment of the quality of the submissions is carried out by national and foreign experts in the relevant areas of law and/or topics. It aims to publish articles by both Dutch and foreign authors concerning legal issues in general in its regular issues and, in its annual special issue, concerning legal issues centred on a particular theme. In short: the Utrecht Law Review distinguishes itself by its interdisciplinary character, a thematic approach, the anonymous assessment of contributions, the room it offers to young researchers, its electronic availability and the international framework in which it operates.
