Research Lists Updated Today.

The JKU Research List and the JKU Academic Research List were both updated today. Below are some excerpts from each List.

Excerpt from the JKU Academic Research List:

VII. Subject Guides. (see also e.g. the Astronomy Science Sites on Fall Harvest Edition http://bit.ly/zIoiml )

Note: many of these links are to the webpages, that have all the subjects’ links by name or URL, that’s why this category isn’t organized by subject.

http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/   }When people communicate, they process vast quantities of information.  The Human Communication Research Centre (HCRC) is an interdisciplinary research centre at the Universities of Edinburgh and Glasgow that brings together theories and methods from several formal and experimental disciplines to understand better how this happens. We focus on spoken and written language; we also study communication in other media — visual, graphical and computer-based.

http://www.ancient.eu/   }the Ancient History Encyclopedia. Recommended. Ancient History Encyclopedia is a non-profit educational website with a global

vision: to provide the best ancient history information on the internet for free. We combine different media, subjects and periods in interactive ways that will

help readers understand both the “big picture” and the detail. Editorial review is a key component in our process to ensure highest quality.

http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/home.rxml   }If you’ve ever wanted to learn more about meteorology, you’ll find lots of helpful guides on this site.

https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/   }Peter Gurmann’s page at the University of Auckland. Recommended. “My research interests cover the design and analysis of security systems and security usability, including the application of concepts from cognitive psychology to understanding how users interact with security systems, and whatever else happens to catch my interest. This is my new home page. My old home page is a lot more fun, but doesn’t leave much room to present information on things I’m working on, so I’ve replaced it with this one.”

http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/publications/crljournal/2007/mar/staley07.pdf   }this may be useful to read at some point. Publication rules.

http://www.electricuniverse.info/Introduction   }”The Electric Universe theory highlights the importance of electricity throughout the Universe. It is based on the recognition of existing natural electrical phenomena (e.g. lightning, St Elmo’s Fire), and the known properties of plasmas (ionized “gases”) which make up 99.999% of the visible universe, and react strongly to electro-magnetic fields. Much of the material considered by the Electric Universe is peer-reviewed, but not all (see Speculative Theories, below).”

http://epnweb.org/   }This network has podcasts in the following areas: theatre arts, computer and technical skills, music education, information skills, math, second languages and a lot more.

http://www.evolutionzone.com/kulturezone/futurec/rez/autologue.dir/autologue.html   }wordy stuff on discussion groups: autologue vs. dialog, interdisciplinary studies, ‘strange attractors’, etc. He says: “It is hoped that this exposition can help inform interdisciplinary approaches which arise throughout the world community. I offer the autologue as an adaptive meme capable of modeling the integration of the many THREADS of our disciplines into one tapestry, into the Net we cast to catch community. The beginning of understanding lies in the self-organizing community — the memetic niche where culture and vitality meet and engage in the ongoing process of AUTOLOGUE.”

http://www4.infotrieve.com/search/docsource.asp   }although we include this for medical and biomedical technology research, the journal articles are really more professional and commercial in source and audience, not academic.

http://inspirehep.net/?ln=en   }Inspire, the High Energy Physics Information System. Page shown is the “How to Search” page giving all the details. Highly Recommended for physics students or physicists. “CERN, DESY, Fermilab and SLAC have built the next-generation High Energy Physics (HEP) information system, INSPIRE, which empowers scientists with innovative tools for successful research at the dawn of an era of new discoveries. INSPIRE combines the successful SPIRES database content, curated at DESY, Fermilab and SLAC, with the Invenio digital library technology developed at CERN. INSPIRE is run by a collaboration of the four labs, and interacts closely with HEP publishers, arXiv.org, NASA-ADS, PDG, and other information resources. INSPIRE represents a natural evolution of scholarly communication, built on successful community-based information systems, and provides a vision for information management in other fields of science.” Here http://inspirehep.net/search?ln=en&p=aurora   }we show the results of our test, for the word “aurora”. We found that you have to be careful which search terms you use, and how you use them. It did fail in one of our hard tests, but we still Recommend it. Most of those results don’t seem to have much to do with an Aurora; clearly physical and chemical technical papers. However, there was this: http://inspirehep.net/record/1221489?ln=en     }”…This is in agreement with increased auroral activity identified in historical chronicles. This point to the likely solar origin of the event, which is the greatest solar event on a multi-millennial time scale, placing a strong observational constraint on the theory of explosive energy releases on the Sun and cool stars. “

http://justinguitar.com/   }Hello and welcome to my free guitar lesson web site!

There are many hundreds of free guitar lessons here, most with video and audio, and as you can imagine it’s taken quite a lot of work for me to put it together. It’s important to me to help everyone that wants to learn to play the guitar, not just those with money to spend on tuition, so I run it on an “honour system”.

Yue, Professor, MIT School of Engineering.

http://www.nibib.nih.gov/science-education/science-topics/computational-modeling   }Computational modeling is the use of mathematics, physics and computer science to study the behavior of complex systems by computer simulation. A computational model contains numerous variables that characterize

the system being studied. Simulation is done by adjusting these variables and observing how the changes affect the outcomes predicted by the model. The results of model simulations help researchers make predictions about what will happen in the real system that is being studied in response to changing conditions. Modeling can expedite research by allowing scientists to conduct thousands of simulated experiments by computer in order to identify the actual physical experiments that are most likely to help.

http://www.nist.gov/nano_overview.cfm   }The nanotechnology-related research conducted in NIST’s laboratories develops measurements, standards, and data crucial to a wide range of industries and federal agencies, from the development of advanced spectroscopic methods needed to increase efficiency in advanced photovoltaics, to the development of the standard reference materials and data necessary to accurately quantify and measure the presence and impact of nanomaterials in the environment. NIST’s Technology Innovation Program is investing in the development of transformational technologies necessary to advance the large scale manufacture of nanomaterials.

Excerpt from the JKU Research List:

V. Audio Resources. (See also the JKU Poetry List: http://sdrv.ms/xYANGU)(See also the Videolist: http://sdrv.ms/OxyWpF for A/V apps and sites.)

Note: The Web is full of many audio- and music-finding services and apps these days, and we can’t know what kind of files you’ll be looking for. However, we don’t advertise or promote commercial or pay-sites. This narrows what we research and share; and to further narrow it, we share with you some of the sites we ourselves actually use. Many services that say they’re free, aren’t: they try to deceive you. Most music download sites want sign-up, registration, or both; we’ve listed below the ones that don’t. Also note that this Category includes music and non-music links.

www.altavista.com/audio   }narrow results to given formats: mp3, etc.

http://www.airmp3.me/   }this site finds good music for free, but it finds “videos”, that is music files with a picture or photo, that you can play on the site, and the audio quality is good. But the download files are blocked, missing, etc., and don’t download. To download the “video”, go to the source URL, such as youtube, and then download the video, and then convert it to mp3 (or whatever).

www.beemp3.com }has surprising results sometimes, some useful, some not. You’ll want to avoid obvious ads, trick ads, and redirected ads.

http://www.brainwashed.com/    } In August of 2005, we retired The Brain to reinvent Brainwashed.com, where content is provided daily, as news can’t wait for once per week. The new system is searchable with archives of all old reviews and content from the old way of doing things. Brainwashed.com is an archival, educational, promotional non-profit service. The material included on Brainwashed radio is being used permissibly thanks to the copyright owners of the original sound recordings and is broadcasting at a frequency comparable to a poor FM radio signal without the fidelity necessary to make phonographic duplicates. You can search Brainwashed here: http://www.brainwashed.com/search.html   }search.

http://www.ehow.com/how-does_5244327_resonance-can-used-amplify-sound.html   }She sings a note that is at exactly the same frequency as the resonant frequency of the glass. That makes the glass vibrate violently, and if she holds the note more than a few seconds, the glass breaks. So, you need to figure out what pitch the sound you want to amplify will be (what frequency it will be) and then find an object that will resonate at a complementary frequency. It all depends on what kind of sound you want to amplify.

http://www.etr-usa.com/specs/   }MediaMaster is the easiest to use full-featured media delivery system for schools, with support for everything from VCRs to modern IPTV and video on demand systems.

http://www.pandora.com/#/   }this service, which calls itself “internet radio” is a music search service, that does too much, more than you want probably, and wants you to register with them besides. (On our Web Tools List are various sites and apps to help you get around those constant, annoying site registrations.) For instance, we wanted just one or two cuts by one artist (band), not an entire radio station of them. At all events, all the cuts and albums were for sale and none were for download.

Some of their links are old and redirect to commercials. Some redirect to other search engines. Some, like http://www.music-finder.net/ , go to pages that look like the search pages that are put in the place of expired or extinct URLs, but actually, some of the links on music finder are still good, and go to lists of music players, online “radio stations”, music collections, and so on.
