Structural Health Monitoring
http://shm.sagepub.com/

Structural Health Monitoring was launched in July 2002 and publishes peer-reviewed papers that contain theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations that advance the body of knowledge and its application in the discipline of structural health monitoring. The journal has a broad topical coverage and it serves as a primary reference for the structural health monitoring of aeronautical, mechanical, civil, electrical, and other systems. The multidisciplinary nature of the journal is intended to foster the intersection of different technologies to address the varied needs and applications for structural health monitoring. Papers are sought that explore the following issues and areas related to structural health monitoring:

* self-diagnostics, prognostics, condition-based maintenance and performance

* vibration and wave propagation methods for damage assessment

* advanced signal processing and interpretation techniques for monitoring and diagnostics

* sensor design, self-powered and low power sensors

* data mining, data management

* the use of smart materials and new sensor materials

* monitoring of composite, metallic, new, and aging structures and
infrastructure

* monitoring of structural repairs

* sensor network design, data transmission, wired and wireless communication

* embedding technology, sensor/structure integration technology

* development of self-repairable structures

* monitoring of survivability and readiness assessment

* structural integrity and remaining life predictions based on sensor management

* design of multifunctional structures and integration of structural health monitoring and control

* sensors for high temperature applications, in-situ sensors

* monitoring of biomechanical, electromechanical, and thermal systems

* fault diagnosis of avionics, propulsion, power, and electronic systems

* structural health monitoring system integration and validation

* bio-nanotechnology applied to structural monitoring

* interdisciplinary approaches and applications for structural health monitoring.

This will be added to Healthcare Resources 2006 Internet MiniGuide.

Using the Internet As a Dynamic Resource Tool for Knowledge Discovery
http://zillman.blogspot.com/2004/09/using-internet-as-dynamic-resource.html

I have updated my Research white paper titled “Using the Internet As a Dynamic Resource Tool for Knowledge Discovery” a 18 page research paper listing many resources both new and existing that will help anyone who is attempting to perform information and knowledge research and discovery on the Internet. It is freely available as a .pdf file (1.26MB) at the above link from the Virtual Private Library™ and authored by Marcus P. Zillman, M.S., A.M.H.A. It was updated 03-27-06.

China Profile – Facts, Figures and Analyses
http://www.china-profile.com/

China-Profile is a Web site which analyzes key dimensions in China’s recent development. In particular, you will find information on China’s:

1. Human development

2. Natural resources & environment

3. Economic development

4. Infrastructure

5. Science and technology

6. Policy and social structure

The China-Profile Web site currently provides a small selection of data-related analyses (with tables, figures and maps), a timeline of key events in China since 1949, an extensive bibliography on contemporary China studies (with more than 800 carefully selected references), and a collection of high-quality Web links. In the near future additional sections will be added and the existing sections will be expanded substantially. The China-Profile Web site is researched, designed, implemented and maintained by Dr. Gerhard K. Heilig of Vienna, Austria.

Machine Translation
http://www.springerlink.com/link.asp?id=100310

While respecting its historical link with the field of MT, Machine Translation is changing and broadening its scope of interest to encompass all branches of Computational Linguistics and Language Engineering, wherever they incorporate a MULTILINGUAL aspect. We therefore welcome submissions to the journal on THEORETICAL, DESCRIPTIVE OR COMPUTATIONAL ASPECTS of any of the following topics:

* machine translation and machine-aided translation
* human translation theory and practise
* multilingual text composition and generation
* multilingual information retrieval
* multilingual natural language interfaces
* multilingual dialogue systems
* multilingual message understanding systems
* corpus-based and statistical language modelling
* connectionist approaches to translation
* compilation and use of bi- and multilingual corpora
* discourse phenomena and their treatment in (human or machine)translation
* knowledge engineering
* contrastive linguistics
* morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics
* computer-aided language instruction and learning
* software localization and internationalization
* speech processing, especially for speech translation
* phonetics, phonology
* computational implications of non-Roman character sets
* multilingual word-processing
* the multilingual information society (sociological and legal as well as linguistic aspects)
* minority languages
* history of machine translation.

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=0893-8849&site=1

The Journal of the World Aquaculture Society is an international scientific journal publishing original, peer-reviewed, English-language papers on the culture of aquatic plants and animals. The Journal, published quarterly, covers nutrition, disease, genetics and breeding, physiology, environmental quality, culture systems engineering, husbandry practices, and economics and marketing as well as a number of other topics related to the culture of aquatic organisms. Papers are selected for publication based on scientific competence and the significance of the knowledge or ideas presented. Four categories of papers are published in the Journal. Review Articles provide objective synthesis of a subject of importance in aquaculture. Research Articles are full scientific reports of original research. Research Notes differ from research articles on the basis of scope, not quality, and are generally shorter and of narrower scientific focus. Finally, Communications are brief reports of new observations, concepts, or methodologies.
