NET relief mooted for MPhil, PhD students
by js vijaya 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

NET relief mooted for MPhil, PhD students Manash Pratim Gohain Monday, April 10, 2006 TIMES OF INDIA Even though the education sector is booming, shortage of quality faculty continues to be a nagging concern. If a report to exempt PhD and MPhil students from the National Eligibility Test (NET) is cleared by the University Grants Commission (UGC), it may prove to be a boon for both students and institutes. The report was formulated by a committee formed in January 2006 by the Ministry for Human Resources Development (MHRD) to review NET examinations. The interim report, which has been forwarded to UGC for consultation, observed that there is no rationale behind the clause that PhD and MPhil graduates need to first qualify NET to be eligible for teaching at the college and university level. NET was introduced in 1989. In 1993, UGC decided to give PhD and MPhil degree-holders exemption from NET, whereby students who had completed their PhD and MPhil on or before December 31, 1993, were eligible to apply for college and university level faculty positions. In 2002, UGC decided that the exemption would be extended to only PhD graduates. Again those who had completed their PhDs after December 31, 2002, were not eligible to apply for faculty positions. Keeping in view the large number of vacant positions in different universities and colleges across the country and the shortage in quality faculty, the interim report suggests permanent exemption from NET. The report observed that MPhil and PhD are the highest degrees in our academic system and the NET requirement undervalues these degrees. The three-member committee is headed by B Mungekar, member, Planning Commission.

3d seek: Doodle - A new kind of search engine!
by hemaa＠ingvysyabank.com 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

Dear all, A new kind of a search engine has been developed based on practical pattern recognition and all the user needs to do is to key in a freehand sketch! For more details, read below: <http://www.3d-seek.com/3DSeek/Update.aspx> http://www.3d-seek.com/3DSeek/Update.aspx <http://nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=105851&org=ENG> http://nsf.gov/news/news_summ.jsp?cntn_id=105851&org=ENG February 23, 2006 Working with support from the National Science Foundation's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program, Imaginestics, a company located in West Lafayette, Ind., has created 3D-Seek: a new kind of search engine that lets users find items in an online catalog without ever needing to know the items' names, part numbers or keywords. Thanks to a major advance in practical pattern recognition, all the user needs is a freehand sketch--a doodle. The Purdue Research Park-based company developed 3D-Seek and its associated catalog mainly for manufacturing firms, which are constantly looking for hinges, bolts, conveyor belts, motors and a host of other products. For those firms, notes Errol Arkilic, the NSF officer overseeing the SBIR awards, "this search engine can help find the proverbial needle in the haystack. By allowing manufacturers to re-deploy and re-purpose parts from existing catalogs, the tool can make it easier for businesses to design complex mechanical systems." Eventually, however, the basic search engine could prove equally useful for ordinary shoppers: instead of having to go to the hardware store lugging, say, a specific plumbing joint, a customer could just sketch what he or she needed to find an exact match. The 3D-Seek software was built on top of technology created by Karthik Ramani and his colleagues at the NSF-supported Purdue Research and Education Center for Information Systems in Engineering (PRECISE) </cgi-bin/goodbye?http://tools.ecn.purdue.edu/~cise/> at Purdue University. Ramani, who is an NSF CAREER < <http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5262> http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5262> Awardee, the director of PRECISE and the chief scientist of Imaginestics, had led the way toward search algorithms that ranked among the world's fastest for a certain application: comparing the computer-aided design files and other 3-D images that are ubiquitous in industry. From there, further collaboration between university and company researchers resulted in a system that required only critical shape characteristics, not entire image files. This allowed even faster search speeds and protected the proprietary information held by parts suppliers loading their products to the online database. And as a bonus, the refined search could now glean important information from quick sketches, a favorite means of communication for engineers and designers. The public can try the freehand-search online at the 3D-Seek portal </cgi-bin/goodbye?http://www.3d-seek.com>. "In order to make such a search engine commercially viable we had to overcome the challenge of matching something as rudimentary as a doodle to a 3-D object - in seconds," said Nainesh Rathod, co-founder and President of Imaginestics. "This is important, as Web users have become accustomed to retrieving information instantaneously. Our shape-search engine processes data that are far more complex then those handled by the leading Internet search engines, and yet still finds results quickly." While researchers have been working for several years on software that can compare industry-standard 3-D image files to each other, the new method is faster than most and permits search "terms" that are far outside the norm. With the new tool, users can find in seconds what once took weeks of warehouse searches or even a complete part redesign. "It's the difference between describing a part over the phone and seeing it in person," added Rathod. "You can look at it visually instead of explaining it in words." The 3D-Seek catalog currently contains more than 6,000 parts and continues to grow as suppliers manually upload their files or as the system's i-crawler web spider discovers parts online. A related technology, i-prowler, hunts for image files on a user's computer and merges them with either the online database or an internal company catalog - critical for large companies that may not have simple mechanisms to search internal inventories. Even global corporations can have difficulty tracking supplies internally. According to Rathod, a Fortune 100 manufacturer recently estimated that lack of a proper search technology resulted in duplicate purchases for 10 to 16 percent of parts. One reason is that factories creating the same product, yet located continents apart, will go to different suppliers for the same component. Those suppliers may have to independently engineer the components from scratch, which can be costly. With an easily searchable company-wide database, even metric conversion would not stand in the way of a part search. -NSF- Thanks & Regards Hema Amble Librarian, ING Vysya Bank CDC Message Dear all, A new kind of a search engine has been developed based on practical pattern recognition and all the user needs to do is to key in a freehand sketch!

20 Apr '06

Pilot subject-based cross-repository search tool now available. A Pilot service http://www.engineering.ac.uk providing subject resource discovery across a variety of digital repositories of interest to the engineering learning and research communities has been released by the PerX Project. Although the target repositories included in the Pilot are relevant to engineering, the cross-searching methods and interface used, plus the range of repository types included, should be of interest to many as a demonstrator of one method of resource discovery across multiple digital repositories. Twenty-eight repositories are currently cross-searched by the Pilot. These include: the Directory of Open Access Journals (engineering and technology sections), DSpace at MIT, the Energy Citations Database, the GROW Digital Library, NASA Technical Reports, Jorum, ePrints UK, Networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (NDLTD), National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS), Australian Research Repositories Online to the World (ARROW), CISTI - Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information, Caltech Earthquake Engineering Research Laboratory Technical Reports, and several more established repositories of interest to the engineering community. More repositories will be added to the Pilot as they are identified and configured. The Pilot's Basic Search interface http://www.engineering.ac.uk/index.html?action=basic and Advanced Search interface http://www.engineering.ac.uk/index.html?action=advanced enable cross-searching of the repositories, and allow filtering by resource type: articles, theses and dissertations, technical reports, books, learning and teaching resources, key websites, industry news and new job announcements. Overall, more than 1.5 million resources are cross-searched by the Pilot. Access to the full text of items found is available from many of the repositories. In a few cases, the full items consist of details of books, articles, learning objects or websites, and in some others the full text may be available to subscribing institutions or by pay-per-view. An important purpose of the PerX pilot is to help scope a possible future cross-search service. With this in mind, feedback on the Pilot would be much appreciated. A 60 second survey is available at: http://www.engineering.ac.uk/index.html?action=quest and those providing feedback will be entered into a draw to win £100 of Amazon vouchers. Other documents available from PerX include: Listing of Engineering repository sources http://www.icbl.hw.ac.uk/perx/sourceslisting.htm This document identifies the most significant repository sources of relevance to the UK Higher Education (HE) Engineering community.

This software allows the owner of the lost mobile to track the exact location of the handset and the number of the new SIM (subscriber identity module) card that has been inserted. The code, downloadable at Rs 200 to Rs 300 a year on most handsets from Micro's website. Explaining the technology, Sekhar said that when a phone is stolen, the thief generally sells the device in the grey market. When a new SIM card is inserted, the solution embedded in the phone will send an email or voice message to the original owner notifying him of the number on the new SIM card and the location of the phone. In this situation the third party has to return the gadget procured from the grey market. The e-Sniffer is awaiting a patent right. It was created with an investment of Rs 50 lakh. ************************************************************************************************ This email and its attachments are confidential and proprietary to Advinus Therapeutics Pvt.

Using Your Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive

Dear Friends, You may like to read the article "Using Your Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive" available at http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=435697&rl=1 This article tells how you can use Gmail Account as a Virtual Drive. A gist of the article is as below. "People use online email account as a way to store important files, which they mail to themselves as attachments. Many uses Gmail for this purpose as it is offering more than 2 GB space. For this purpose, one has to create a message, attach the desired file, and then send message, which is time consuming. This article introduce you to GMail Drive, a shell namespace extension that lets you use its Gmail account on its Windows operating system-just as if it were a real drive on your hard disk. You can probably retire your USB drive." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------- Recent news about Google is that you can do Google search without typing the keywords. This is targeted for mobile users. Short news item is as below. For details, refer to http://infotech.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1493312.cms "The search giant Google is developing a service wherein you are needless to give any text based search queries, just say it loud. Google has patented its new search innovation - voice based search. Instead of using text-based search queries Google would be able to receive voice-activated search queries. The system receives a voice search query from a user, derives one or more recognition hypotheses, each being associated with a weight, from the voice search query, and constructs a weighted boolean query using the recognition hypotheses. The system then provides the weighted boolean query to a search system and provides the results of the search system to a user. Users can have a demo of Google voice search on Google Labs, Google's pre-beta-test site. The application is targetted at cell phone users." Regards Madhuresh Singhal Assoc. Res. Scientist - Inf. Sc.

Re: [km4dev-l] Knowledge Management Capacity for African Research
by arun＠mssrf.res.in 20 Apr '06

20 Apr '06

Friends: One of the key components of "Knowledge Management Capacity for Research Institutes and Networks" in East Africa or elsewhere is setting up of interoperable institutional archives (such as in CERN, Geneva, and the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore), AND more importantly mandating open access for all publications resulting from publicly-funded research. Unlike parts of corporate information, research information leads to maximum benefit only when it is allowed to flow freely and is shared with other researchers worldwide. I suggest that GDN, WBI and ACBF include a session on open access and invite experts like Dr Leslie Chan of the University of Toronto, who is especially passionate about promoting OA in the developing world. I would also like to draw the attention of the workshop organisers and participants to a paper written by Leslie Chan, Barbara Kirsop and Subbiah Arunachalam for SciDev.Net on "OPEN ACCESS ARCHIVING: THE FAST TRACK TO BUILDING RESEARCH CAPACITY IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES" and to another paper I coauthored with Peter Suber: "Open Access to Science in the Developing World" [http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/writing/wsis2.htm] Subbiah Arunachalam Distinguished Fellow MSSRF, Chennai 600 113 India > Dear All, > > The Global Development Network (GDN) in cooperation with the World Bank > Institute (WBI) and the Africa Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF) is > organizing a workshop entitled "Knowledge Management Capacity for African > Research Institutes and Networks: East Africa Workshop".

Date: 18 Apr 2006 11:00:59 -0000 From: Vijay Raghav Tiwari <vijayrt(a)rediffmail.com> Dear Professionals I would like to say the following: Is it the opinion of the all the user? Whenever one complains he/she hides his/her own mistakes. As a user dont we have to follow some rules and regulations. There may be certain library/information centre where a common user without showing a proper identity may not be even allowed to enter in the campus itself. Do we get sufficient patting too whenever we be good with others? Did anyone find and any praise get quoted for anyone? I feel that user and the use should be more specific and friendly. Sometimes you/user feels that he is at the top of the world and if he is shown some formalities, feels offended. We want to serve users all out but rules are to be followed too. Hope that you will agree with me. regards vrt On Tue, 18 Apr 2006 harry(a)pbi.ac.in wrote : >LIS professionals' response to a particular problem by a media >professional has got enough coverage in LIS professionals' mailing list.
