The Frontiers Publishing Paradigm

The Frontiers Publishing Paradigm

Digital technology has created the possibility of a paradigm shift in scientific publishing for the first time in four centuries. Traditional, high impact publishing largely relies on the publication of only a limited number of papers, which are highly selected by the editors and reviewers aiming at the highest “impact” on the field. As a consequence, the journal’s publications may be frequentl...

The city network paradigm: new frontiers;

Exploring new frontiers of electronic publishing in biomedical science.

Publishing is a hallmark of good scientific research. The aim of publishing is to disseminate new research knowledge and findings as widely as possible in a timely and efficient manner. Scientific publishing has evolved over the years with the advent of new technologies and demands. This paper presents a brief discussion on the history and status of electronic publishing. The Open Access Initia...

Frontiers in Run-Time Prediction for the Production-System Paradigm

acceptance of production systems in the industrial world. However, in embedded-control systems, production systems have not been applied intensively because of their nondeterministic run-time behavior. Thus, nonpredictability of response times is a major obstacle to the widespread use of expert systems in the real-time domain. The RETE and TREAT algorithms and their offspring play a major role ...

Frontiers: skeletal muscle sodium pump regulation: a translocation paradigm.

The skeletal muscle sodium pump plays a major role in the removal of K(+) ions from the circulation postprandial, or after a physical activity bout, thereby preventing the development of hyperkalemia and fatigue. Insulin and muscle contractions stimulate Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity in skeletal muscle, at least partially via translocation of sodium pump units to the plasma membrane from intracell...
