It's time to eliminate professional bias in China

0

The relationship between scientific research and technology in China is seriously flawed - as not only do basic researchers often ignore technological development, but also, technologists can ignore the important role of scientific research. In 2010, nearly 130,000 Chinese papers were included in the Science Citation Index - the second highest number in the world. But China was ranked only eighth in the world in the number of citations for these papers. It is a discrepancy that should lead us more...

Commodity markets review (February 2012)

0

www-wds.worldbank.org –

The dollar price of non-energy commodities rose by 2.9 percent in January, the first increase in six months, on various weather-related supply constraints, improving macro sentiment, and in part due to dollar depreciation (down 0.6 percent against a broad group of major trading partners). The largest increases were for metals on expectations of higher demand, while several agriculture prices rose due to drought conditions, notably in South America. Crude oil prices moved higher on rising more...

As much as one percent of the Internet is now using IPv6

0

arstechnica.com –

We've used 3,026 million IPv4 addresses and have just 680 million to go, with 203 million used up in 2009. Time is running out. Some of this maddening inconsistency can be blamed on Google, which has two IPv6-capable destinations in the Web top 10: google.com itself and youtube.com, which gained IPv6 recently. However, most people with IPv6 connectivity will reach these over IPv4, because Google only discloses its IPv6 addresses to DNS servers that have been accepted into the Google over IPv6 more...

A Case for Interoperability

0

coar.uni-goettingen.de –

Open Access repositories, whose number has been steadily rising, are an important component of the global e-Research infrastructure. The real value of repositories lies in the potential to interconnect them to create a network of repositories, a network that can provide unified access to research outputs and be (re-) used by machines and researchers. However, in order to achieve this potential, we need interoperability. The purpose of this paper is to provide a high-level overview of more...

The Use of the Standard Address Number (SAN) in the Supply Chain

0

Often overlooked is the role played in the publishers supply chain by that less glamorous cousin to the ISBN, the SAN (Standard Address Number). SAN was initially developed at R.R. Bowker in response to retailers’ requests for a standardized account to facilitate ordering across the supply chain and became a standard (ANSI/NISO Z39.43) in 1980. This article describes what a SAN is, how it is used, and the benefits it provides to trading partners in the industry.
