Fw: [oadl] Fwd: EPT Blog posting
by Subbiah Arunachalam 02 May '10

02 May '10

Friends: Here is a message from Ms Barbara Kirsop of EPT (Electronic Publishing Trust for Development, UK). Please send your success stories in implementing and benefiting from open access. Dear All, I have just sent the following posting to EPT Blog, after discussions with Leslie, Arun and Iryna Kuchma (eIFL). The idea is to try to collect personal stories of how OA has assisted researchers in the developing world. Sometimes a personal story speaks louder than an essay! Please let any of your contacts know that we would like to hear from them if they have an OA-story to tell. Thanks, Barbara. (Barbara Kirsop, EPT) ============================================================ Please send us your OA stories as your contribution to OA week!<http://epublishingtrust.blogspot.com/2010/04/please-send-us-your-oa-stories…> <http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_8-6aDVnNC_0/S9rl80WIH4I/AAAAAAAAAF0/5Axc2zu2kuI/s…> *Open Access Week* will hit the research communities worldwide from October 18th – 24th, 2010! Here is the OA Week web site <http://www.oaweek.org/>that will tell you what is going to happen and what you can do to help. To spread information to developing and emerging regions on the value of OA to research and economic development we need to make a lot of noise this week. We need to tell others how free access to research, or distribution of their own research through OA, has changed their work or their career for the better. Here is a request: can you send EPT any stories you can share that show how OA has advanced your work. Has it lead to new contacts? Has it lead to new research partnerships and publications? Has it made you think about the importance of getting your research findings into the global community to help resolve global problems? Has it helped your own career? Has it put your organisation on the global map? Please tell EPT about any developments that have been brought about by your knowledge or participation in Open Access. Send your stories (no more than 300 words please) to EPT <ept(a)biostrat.demon.co.uk>. You can also add short experiences as a Comment to this Blog. We will collate the best stories and make them widely known so that others will be encouraged. Write to us with your OA-stories and help the progress of research! -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

NRI develops chip to contain entire library
by Ramakant Navghare 30 Apr '10

30 Apr '10

To, Dear All, An Indian-American scientist has developed a computer chip that can store an unprecedented amount of data - enough to hold an entire library. The new chip stems from a breakthrough in the use of nanodots, or nanoscale magnets, and represents a significant advance in computer-memory technology. "We have created magnetic nanodots that store one bit of information on each nanodot, allowing us to store over one billion pages of information in a chip that is one square inch," says Jay Narayan, professor of Materials Science and Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Narayan, a product of the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, conducted the study. The breakthrough is that these nanodots are made of single, defect-free crystals, creating magnetic sensors that are integrated directly into a silicon electronic chip. These nanodots, which can be made uniformly as small as six nanometres in diameter, are all precisely oriented in the same way - allowing programmers to reliably read and write data to the chips, an NCSU release said. A nanometre is the billionth of a metre. The chips themselves can be manufactured cost-effectively but the next step is to develop magnetic packaging that will enable users to take advantage of the chips - using something, such as laser technology, that can effectively interact with the nanodots. The research was presented at the Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco. -- Thank You, Regards, Ramakant Amar Navghare (M.L.I.Sc/NET) Administrator, Knowledge Management --------------------------------------------------------- KPMG Lodha Excellus Apollo Mills Compound, N.
