The invisible hands of peer reviewers play a determining role in the eventual fate of submissions to international English-medium journals. This study builds on the assumption that non-native researchers and prospective academic authors may find the whole strive for publication, and more specifically, the tough review process, less threatening if they are aware of journal reviewers’ expectation...

We introduce a tool that extracts clinical data sets and provides visualizations from clinical data warehouses that use the Informatics for Integrating Biology and the Bedside (i2b2) query tool. Our tool, i2b2t2 (i2b2 to Tableau), can extract and visualize any i2b2 query into a portable format that researchers can easily explore without needing a highly technical or statistical background. This...

The paper presents a simple format for typed logics with states by adding a function for register update to standard typed lambda calculus. It is shown that universal validity of equality for this extended language is decidable (extending a well-known result of Friedman for typed lambda calculus). This system is next extended to a full edged typed dynamic logic, and it is illustrated how the re...

In light of the mass media coverage that the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine received as a result of questions raised about its safety, a content analysis of mass media articles about the MMR vaccine was undertaken. The analysis examined 227 articles published in five different information sources in a 2 month period. The analysis looked at 94 content-based variables and the key attrib...

RNA Movies is a simple, yet powerful visualization tool in likeness to a media player application, which enables to browse sequential paths through RNA secondary structure landscapes. It can be used to visualize structural rearrangement processes of RNA, such as folding pathways and conformational switches, or to browse lists of alternative structure candidates. Besides extending the feature se...

JUNE’s readers have a right to know how the journal is doing and the plans for JUNE’s future. JUNE "belongs" to all FUN members and the larger community of neuroscience educators. So it is important that the state of JUNE be periodically communicated to its readers. JUNE is doing well as far as readership goes. In the past year, JUNE was visited 7,411 times, by 5,164 unique visitors. A quick ma...

• UNIMARC is a family of metadata schemas with formats for descriptive information, classification, authorities and holdings. The UNIMARC activities are an IFLA Core Activity, the ICABS: IFLA-CDNL Alliance for Bibliographic Standards. • In 2004 the National Library of Portugal (BN) started an activity to develop a UNIMARC Registry. The purpose is to support the processes around the evolution of...
