Tuesday, February 28, 2006   W3C Launches Incubator Activity http://www.w3.org/2006/02/incubator-pressrelease http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/ W3C announces the launch of its Incubator Activity, a new initiative to foster development of emerging Web-related technologies. "With the Incubator Activity, W3C Members and Invited Experts can now combine Web technology discovery with the outstanding technical resources of W3C and see what develops," said Steve Bratt, W3C Chief Executive Officer. The first Incubator Group (XG) to be launched addresses the issue of content labels. Read the press release and the new XG charter. posted by Marcus Zillman | 4:15 AM  Development - Developmental Mechanism of Plants and Animals Research Journal http://dev.biologists.org/ Development is a primary research journal that provides an insight into mechanisms of plant and animal development, covering all aspects from molecular and cellular to tissue levels. It aims to act as a forum for all research that offers a genuine insight into developmental mechanisms. Studies on both plant and animal development are welcome and can be focused upon any aspect of the developmental process, at all levels of biological organization from the molecular and cellular to the tissue levels. Experimental papers will be given the highest priority. Manuscripts that are entirely descriptive will only be accepted if they are of particularly high quality and offer novel insight into developmental mechanisms. Development is published twice monthly (24 issues/year).

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 Zillman | 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. These statistics include monthly information on key statistics such as browser trends (e.g. Internet Explorer vs. Firefox market share), search engine referral data (e.g. Yahoo vs. MSN vs. Google traffic market share) and operating system share. We use a unique methodology for collecting this data. They collect data from the browsers of site visitors to their exclusive on demand network of small to medium enterprise live stats customers. The sample size for these sites is more than 40,000 urls and growing. The information published is an aggregate of the data from this network of hosted website statistics. The site unique visitor and referral information is summarized on a monthly basis. In addition, they classify 300+ referral sources identified as a search engine. Aggregate traffic referrals from these engines are summarized and reported monthly. The statistics for search engines include both organic and sponsored referrals.

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 Zillman | 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.

Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. posted by Marcus Zillman | 9:26 AM  geocoder.us geocoder.us - Find the Latitude and Longitude Of Any US Address - For Free http://geocoder.us/ Geocoding is the process of estimating a latitude and longitude for a given location. 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!

This takes place through Denmark?s Energy Research Programme, which grants financial support to the publication of a newsletter six times a year; partly as a separate newsletter and partly as an insert in the Danish maga-zine Dansk BioEnergi. 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. Provisionally, the newsletter is to be published 12 times.

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 Zillman | 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.

The journal targets in particular detailed methodological and design papers from major national and international multicenter studies. There is a close working relationship with the US National Institute of Mental Health, the World Health Organization (WHO) Diagnostic Instruments Committees as well as several other European and international organizations. MPR aims at the rapid publication of articles of highest methodological quality in such areas as epidemiology, biostatistics, generics, psychopharmacology, psychology and the neurosciences. Articles informing about innovative and critical methodological, statistical and clinical issues, including nosology can be submitted as regular papers and brief reports. Reviews are only occasionally accepted. MPR seeks to monitor, discuss, influence and improve the standards of mental health and behavioral neuroscience research by providing a platform for rapid publication of outstanding contributions. As a quarterly journal MPR is a major source of information and ideas and is an important medium for students, clinicians and researchers in psychiatry, clinical psychology, epidemiology and the allied disciplines in the mental health field.

In focusing on cell-cell interactions in the nervous system, this journal offers an expanded scope that bridges what have traditionally been regarded as separate scientific disciplines.Neuron Glia Biology publishes outstanding original research on cell-cell interactions in the nervous system, using molecular, biochemical, electrophysiological, and imaging methods, to investigate interactions among neurons and among glia, and between neurons and other non-neuronal cells. Basic and clinical research reporting new findings on cell-cell interactions during nervous system development, in association with information processing, synaptic plasticity, myelination, and pathology are presented, along with special feature issues and concise reviews of emerging areas in the field. Newly published articles are made freely accessible 6-12 months after publication.

It primarily investigates the interrelation between economic and social action. Using an institutional approach, it examines how markets and business organizations develop from the historical-institutional, political and cultural framework in which they are embedded and how institutional contexts change over time. MPIfG Working Papers are expected to present original ideas that could guide future scholarly research, or to draw out the implications of available knowledge for a better understanding of public-policy problems. Working Papers should be well-written, without always and necessarily following the formal standards that apply to professional research papers. Like MPIfG Discussion Papers, MPIfG Working Papers are refereed. They are only available online.
