PubMed Central® (PMC) is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). In keeping with NLM's legislative mandate to collect and preserve the biomedical literature, PMC is part of the NLM collection, which also includes NLM's extensive print and licensed electronic journal holdings and supports contemporary biomedical and health care research and practice as well as future scholarship.
ENGINEERING is an international journal dedicated to the latest advancement of engineering. The goal of this journal is to provide a platform for engineers and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in different areas of engineering.
The backbone of the free DICOM Visualization and Analysis tool SMIViewer has been released as SMISDK. SMIViewer has developed a respectable following among radiology and biomedical experts, and the release of the SDK is the first step to releasing SMIViewer under a similar GPL license. The project team, “pixel.to.life” and Prashant Chopra, have this to say:
On June 23, 2009, the U.S. National Library of Medicine® (NLM®) released DOCLINE 4.0. DOCLINE is the NLM automated interlibrary loan requesting system. The system provides nearly 3,000 health science libraries in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine® (NN/LM®), Canada, Mexico, and other selected international libraries, with the means to request the interlibrary loan of biomedical literature.\n\nThe new version contains a key enhancement of the Serial Holdings module requested by users. It also introduces simplified serials title searching, modified screen designs to improve the display and editing of serial holdings records, search filtering by acquisition status, and a new function called Show All My Holdings which allows authorized users to display a list of all of their library's holdings for efficient review and update.\n\n
The OBO Foundry is a collaborative experiment involving developers of science-based ontologies who are establishing a set of principles for ontology development with the goal of creating a suite of orthogonal interoperable reference ontologies in the biomedical domain. The groups developing ontologies who have expressed an interest in this goal are listed below, followed by other relevant efforts in this domain.
In addition to a listing of OBO ontologies, this site also provides a statement of the OBO Foundry principles, discussion fora, technical infrastructure, and other services to facilitate ontology development.
The "International Journal of Critical Computer-Based Systems" (IJCCBS) is a quarterly research journal by Inderscience Publishers. It focuses on engineering and verification of complex computer-based systems (where complex means large, distributed and heterogeneous) in critical applications, with special emphasis on model-based approaches and industrial case-studies. Critical computer-based systems include real-time control, fly/brake-by-wire, on-line transactional and web servers, biomedical apparels, networked devices for telecommunications, environmental monitoring, infrastructure protection, etc.
Simbiome is a curated, online electronic resource that organizes and presents relevant resources for physics-based simulation of biomedical structures and related entities in biology and life sciences.
The OBO Foundry is a collaborative experiment involving developers of science-based ontologies who have established a set of principles for ontology development with the goal of creating a suite of orthogonal interoperable reference ontologies in the biomedical domain. Currently the OBO Foundry ontologies form a part of the wider Open Biomedical Ontologies family, as listed below. In the longer term it is intended that the OBO Foundry will form one collection of ontologies alongside other such collections within the NCBO Bioportal.
One way to try to get a handle on what's happening in a scientific field is to study citations in research papers. n a visualization of a complex network with many links, however, it can be very difficult to recognize significant patterns amid the clutter
Subscription models make publishers insist on controlling access to research they didn't perform, write up, or fund. They act like a midwives who insist on keeping (or hiding, or performing surgery on) other folks' babies.
"Academic literature should be freely available: developing countries need access; part time ... thinkers ... journalists and the public can benefit; ... you’ve already paid for much of this stuff with your taxes ... important new ideas from humanity"
Scientists isolated morphine from opium, leading to the belief (in the West at least) that a single, non-living compound in a plant was responsible for its healing properties. This helped create the biomedical model of pharmacotherapy, where plants are se
Compilation of resources to access clinical and scientific research on complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine. Links point to clinical, biomedical, review, meta-analytical or survey research in the USA, Europe and Asia.
A single protein in the brain influences arousal of despair, according to new study in mice. Brain biopsies revealed that mice trying hardest to escape shocks had highest levels of delta-FosB - which may also help humans avoid hopelessness & helplessness.
