You can enjoy listening here, free of charge, to the voices of contemporary English-language poets and of poets from the past. The Archive is growing all the time. The Poetry Archive exists to help make poetry accessible, relevant and enjoyable to a wide audience. It came into being as a result of a meeting, in a recording studio, between Andrew Motion, soon after he became U.K. Poet Laureate in 1999, and the recording producer, Richard Carrington. They agreed about how enjoyable and illuminating it is to hear poets reading their work and about how regrettable it was that, even in the recent past, many important poets had not been properly recorded.

It’s a basic tenet of marketing. But until now, it’s been impossible to understand influence -- and who wields it -- within specific conversations taking place in social media. BuzzLogic changes this dynamic by uniquely defining and measuring influence in social media, and by surfacing the key influencers who are shaping and defining markets, issues and reputations. Through the lens of influence, BuzzLogic provides a means for marketing and communications practitioners to engage with social media in order to manage their brands, reputations, products and customer relationships. As a result, the confusion that has characterized social media is replaced by clarity – marketers can make sense of the conversations they care about. And they can do something about them. At BuzzLogic, our mission is to apply the science of influence to the world of social media. This requires keen insight into dynamic conversational networks, a methodology premised on the idea that influence is in and of itself dynamic, and an ability to identify which participants in conversations are gaining or losing influence over time.

The project includes dissemination and extensive internal and external evaluation. Learning and understanding mathematics, at every level, requires student engagement. Mathematics is not, as has been said, a spectator sport. Too much of current instruction fails to actively involve students. One way to address the problem is through the use of manipulatives, physical objects that help students visualize relationships and applications. We can now use computers to create virtual learning environments to address the same goals. There is a need for good computer-based mathematical manipulatives and interactive learning tools at elementary and middle school levels. The Utah State University team is building Java-based mathematical tools and editors that allow them to create exciting new approaches to interactive mathematical instruction. The use of Java as a programming language provides platform independence and web-based accessibility. The NLVM is a resource from which teachers may freely draw to enrich their mathematics classrooms. The materials are also of importance for the mathematical training of both in-service and pre-service teachers. The library is actively being extended and refined through projects including the eNLVM, a project to develop interactive online learning units for mathematics.

Allowing users to easily and rapidly identify the highest quality evidence from a wide range of sources. The TRIP Database began in 1997 as a result of the work of the founders (Jon Brassey and Dr Chris Price) in answering clinical questions. One of the remits of answering the clinical questions was to return them in a clinically relevant time frame. As well as being quick the clinical questions needed to be answered using the best available evidence. Therefore, to identify the best evidence involved moving from website to website in order to identify relevant material. If each site took 5 minutes to search and 12 websites were examined it added an hour to the search time. If all the content were searchable at one website it would significantly improve the search time. Initially, a manual search of each evidence-based site was undertaken with titles, URL and year of publication recorded in a spreadsheet. Shortly afterwards a chance conversation led to the spreadsheet being converted to a crude web-based search engine. Since then it has grown significantly in terms of ease of use, coverage and popularity. The aims of the TRIP Database have remained the same since 1997 - allow health professionals to easily find the highest-quality material available on the web. The TRIP Database is produced by TRIP Database Ltd (for more information on TRIP Database Ltd see below). The evolution of the TRIP Database has been guided by the desire to answer real clinical questions. TRIP Database Ltd’s involvement in clinical question answering (for more information see TRIP Knowledge Services) has shown the type of material that is useful in answering genuine questions health professionals have. More recently the site has been externally evaluated by a team from the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine (www.cebm.net) led by Professor Paul Glasziou. The findings of this report have been very useful in this latest site upgrade. For approximately 4 years the TRIP Database became a subscription service which ended in September 2006. This allowed for a dramatic improvements in the site. However, it also significantly restricted use. This relative lack of use led to a degree of frustration (a great product being under-used) therefore a new business model was sought and found. The TRIP Database is now free access and truly a great resource to the Internet clinical research community! This has been added to Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

An invariant is a property that holds at a certain point or points in a program; these are often seen in assert statements, documentation, and formal specifications. Invariants can be useful in program understanding and a host of other applications. Examples include “.field > abs(y)”; “y = 2*x+3”; “array a is sorted”; “for all list objects lst, lst.next.prev = lst”; “for all treenode objects n, n.left.value < null =""> p.content in myArray”; and many more. You can extend Daikon to add new properties (see Enhancing Daikon output). Dynamic invariant detection runs a program, observes the values that the program computes, and then reports properties that were true over the observed executions. Daikon can detect properties in C, C++, Java, Perl, and IOA programs; in spreadsheet files; and in other data sources. (Dynamic invariant detection is a machine learning technique that can be applied to arbitrary data.) It is easy to extend Daikon to other applications; as one example, an interface exists to the Java PathFinder model checker.

It's sort of like a hot papers meeting with the entire biomed blogging community. Postgenomic's primary purpose is to act as a central repository for reviews of scientific papers and for conference reports. You can help with this by adding some very simple semantic markup to your blog posts when you write a review of a paper. In this context a "review" isn't necessarily a particularly long or critical assessment of the paper (though it could be): it's simply any information that other researchers might find useful.

The length of papers is limited to four journal pages, which corresponds to about 3000 words, a maximum of 30 references and no more than 5 figures and tables. Its scope ranges from processes in the deep interior of the Earth and the terrestrial planets; magmatism, metamorphism and volcanism; the creation, deformation and destruction of lithosphere; fluids, fluxes, and reservoirs of mineral and energy resources; surface processes such as erosion, transport, deposition of sediments and resulting geomorphology; and the response of the Earth to climate change. The length of papers is limited to four journal pages. eE uses the innovative two-stage publication process already established with success by other EGU journals. The procedure involves a scientific discussion forum and exploits the full potential of the Internet to: * foster scientific discussion * enhance the effectiveness and transparency of scientific qualty assurance; * enable rapid publication; * make scientific publications freely accessible. In the first stage, papers that pass a rapid access-review by one of the editors are immediately published on the eEarth Discussions (eED) website. They are then subject to interactive public discussion, during which the referees¹ comments (anonymous or attributed), additional short comments by other members of the scientific community (attributed) and the authors replies are also published in eED. In the second stage, the peer-review process is completed and, if accepted, the final revised papers are published in eE. To ensure publication precedence for authors, and to provide a lasting record of scientific discussion, eED and eE are both ISSN-registered, permanently archived and fully citable. posted by Marcus | 4:53 AM  The Hudson Review Hudson Review http://www.hudsonreview.com/ Founded in 1947, The Hudson Review is a quarterly magazine of literature and the arts published in New York City.

Our goal is to help people discover great and deeply gratifying products. Every product on ThisNext is picked by the ThisNext community (That means you!). You can organize your picks into product playlists we call shopcasts. Great shopcast lists can be about activities (like climbing or cooking) or things (like fashion or food). They can even be about lifestyles (like being green). Shopcast lists and picks are tagged and searchable on ThisNext for easy discovery by other people. When you make a shopcast list, you are letting the world know what you think is great and worth spending hard-earned money to buy. You are answering the question "What do you use?" for people who share your interests and POV. People who like your taste can then find and track your personal shopcasts or they can follow the collective wisdom of crowds to discover what the community recommends.
