This article frames digitization as a knowledge organization practice in libraries and museums. The primarily discriminatory practices of museums are compared with the non-discriminatory practices of libraries when managing their respective cultural heritage collections.

The inhibitory effect of diatoms upon egg viability was investigated by feeding the planktonic copepod Calanus pacificus (collected in coastal waters off Oregon. USA) 3 diatom species (Chaetoceros difficilis, Ditylurn brightweh, isolated from Oregon coastal waters, and Thalassiosira weissflogii, from culture collections at Oregon State University) ad libitum (2.6 to 3.9 mg C I-'). These diatoms...

Sammlungen von Daten spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei fast jeder Art der Programmierung. Aus diesem Grunde bieten praktisch benutzte objektorientierte Sprachen Standard-Bibliotheken an, die Klassen für die Verwaltung von Objektsammlungen enthalten. Diese Bibliotheken sind besonders dafür kritisiert worden, daß sie softwaretechnische Prinzipien wie Geheimnisprinzip und Orthogonalität nicht hinrei...

While these documents retain value as a summary of departmental desires and acquisitions planning, the multidisciplinary nature of teaching and publishing may be diminishing their use and effectiveness as a means of disseminating library ...

While pseudocysts have an excellent treatment response, the outcomes are modest for walled-off pancreatic necrosis. Recent advances in cross-sectional body imaging have enabled a more accurate distinction of pancreatic fluid collections, which, in turn, facilitates the corr...

Meaningful comparison of algorithms for search, extraction and aggregation across heterogeneous sources will require welldesigned benchmarks, preferably based on freely available test collections. In this paper, we discuss issues which will inevitably arise during the construction of such benchmarks. We argue that the creation of benchmarks requires careful consideration of the evaluation metho...
