VIAF, implemented and hosted by OCLC, is a joint project of several national libraries plus selected regional and trans-national library agencies. The project's goal is to lower the cost and increase the utility of library authority files by matching and linking widely-used authority files and making that information available on the Web.

"These findings clearly state that there is a relationship between summer suicide rates and biochemical (e.g., plasma L-TRP and melatonin levels, [3H]paroxetine binding to blood platelets), metabolic (serum total cholesterol, calcium and magnesium concentrations), and immune (number of peripheral blood lymphocytes and serum sIL-2R) variables.[18] Another study focused on the association between depression, suicide, and the amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). They state that "depression is accompanied by a depletion of n-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids".[22] Their methodology involved taking periodic blood samples-every month for one year-of healthy volunteers, allowing them to analyze the "PUFA composition in serum phospholipids and [relating] those data to the annual variation in the mean weekly number of suicides". They used an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to document their results, finding that PUFA like arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid all occurred at significantly lower rates in winter than in summer months. The association between depression, suicide, and PUFA rates is indicative of there being a biological factor in seasonal effects on suicide rates"

"At JSTOR Labs, we get up each day with one goal: to shape the future of research and teaching, one project at a time. Working with partner publishers, libraries and labs, we aim to create tools for researchers, teachers and students that are immediately useful - and a little bit magical."

The shares of Netgear are now at their all-time maximum value. This is due to the efficient products that the company has been making in all these years. The routers and modems are easy to use and works on all kinds of electronic devices.

"This section documents CKAN's API, for developers who want to write code that interacts with CKAN sites and their data. CKAN's Action API is a powerful, RPC-style API that exposes all of CKAN's core features to API clients. All of a CKAN website's core functionality (everything you can do with the web interface and more) can be used by external code that calls the CKAN API."

"Studie: Die soziale Hierarchie einer Affengesellschaft spiegelt sich auf genetischer Ebene wider Der soziale Status prägt das Erbgut - zumindest bei Rhesus-Affen: Die Position eines Individuums in der Rangfolge seiner Gruppe beeinflusst maßgeblich die Genaktivität in seinen Immun-Zellen, zeigen Untersuchungen eines US-Forscherteams. Ähnliches könnte auch für den Menschen gelten, sagen Yoav Gilad von der Universität Chicago und seine Kollegen. Dies würde erklären, warum Menschen mit niedrigem Sozialstatus vergleichsweise schlechte Gesundheitswerte aufweisen"

The Rhizomik initiative is inspired by the rhizome metaphor when working with knowledge from a scientific, technological but also philosophical point of view. This metaphor has accompanied us in our research about knowledge in many different fields, fundamentally Semantic Web, Human-Computer Interaction, Web Science, Complex Systems and Cognitive Science.

PlagiarismDetection.org offers an innovative, user-friendly online tool that helps students and instructors with detection and prevention of academic plagiarism. Our sophisticated, yet easy-to-use detector conducts thorough and in-detail detection for plagiarism of a submitted document within a few minutes only. The plagiarism detection software is designed to leave no chances for plagiarized works and runs against all the available Internet resources, including websites, digital databases and online libraries (such as Questia, ProQuest, etc.). As a result, the program underlines the plagiarized parts of the text and indicates the original source the passage was initially taken from. Finally, PlagiarismDetection.org generates a full report, indicating the overall originality rating and the percentage of plagiarized materials in the submitted text. Customer has an opportunity to share plagiarism reports with other people by simply giving them the link, generated by our program.

"We provide novel evidence for the effects of metabolic dysfunctions on brain function using the rat model of metabolic syndrome induced by high fructose intake. * We describe that the deleterious consequences of unhealthy dietary habits can be partially counteracted by dietary supplementation of n-3 fatty acid. * High sugar consumption impaired cognitive abilities and disrupted insulin signalling by engaging molecules associated with energy metabolism and synaptic plasticity; in turn, the presence of docosahexaenoic acid, an n-3 fatty acid, restored metabolic homeostasis. * These findings expand the concept of metabolic syndrome affecting the brain and provide the mechanistic evidence of how dietary habits can interact to regulate brain functions, which can further alter lifelong susceptibility to the metabolic disorders.

"The 18th-century philosopher David Hume (much quoted by Mr. Lehrer) didn't have an M.R.I. scanner at his disposal, but he framed the question in much the same way. His major work, "A Treatise of Human Nature," explored the ways in which habit, or "custom," rules our lives. Hume's experiments with perception - how we respond to colors, distance, numerical sets - prefigure the rigorous science of Professor Kahneman. His intent was to show us "the natural infirmity and unsteadiness both of our imagination and senses." Consciousness, like philosophy itself, stands on a "weak foundation.""

We use data provided by the World Bank to show the main economic indicators of all countries. Each indicator is presented in comparison to several other countries and in terms of changes over time. We discuss the definitions of the various indicators and provide information about the ways in which one can interpret them. See for example, data for the U.S. economic indicators

"14.03.2012 - Psychologie So klingen Gewinner! Wähler bevorzugen Politiker und Politikerinnen mit tiefen Stimmen Männliche und weibliche Kandidaten mit vergleichsweise tiefer Stimmlage besitzen bei Wahlen einen Vorteil - das hat zumindest eine Studie eines US-Forscherteams herausgefunden. Das Ergebnis macht erneut deutlich, wie entscheidend persönliche Eigenschaften eines Politikers und nicht nur sein Parteiprogramm im Wahlkampf sind, sagen Casey Klofstad von der University of Miami und seine Kollegen."

Mathematica is a computational software program used in scientific, engineering, and mathematical fields and other areas of technical computing. It was conceived by Stephen Wolfram and is developed by Wolfram Research of Champaign, Illinois.[2][3]

"Sexuell frustrierte Fliegen trösten sich mit Alkohol US-Biologen zufolge gibt es Frust-Trinker nicht nur unter Menschen: Wenn sexhungrige Fliegenmännchen von Weibchen abgewiesen werden, suchen sie Ersatzbefriedigung im Alkoholkonsum, zeigen Experimente. Die Erforschung der Ursachen dieses kuriosen Verhaltens könnte dazu beitragen, Sucht beim Menschen besser zu verstehen und zu behandeln, glauben Galit Shohat-Ophir von der University of California und seine Kollegen"
