Fashion blogs: too trendy for libraries or useful resources?

Old-fashioned or Trendy?

Spectroscopic analyses with the intention of the interpretation of the UV-spectra of the brightest stars as individuals – supernovae – or as components of starforming regions – massive O stars – provide a powerful tool with great astrophysical potential for the determination of extragalactic distances and of the chemical composition of star-forming galaxies even at high redshifts. The perspecti...

The Influence of Fashion Blogs on Consumers

Fashion bloggers are fast becoming an influential force within the fashion industry, which has been facilitated by the growth of new media. However, very little research has looked at the influence of fashion bloggers on consumers, and their adoption of fashion trends.

Molecular medicine: trendy title or new reality?

733 For years, we molecular biologists have been claiming in our grant proposals that the outcome of our research will have an impact on medicine. This has been almost true—a white lie. Knowing how a cell responds to an external stimulus is certainly important for anybody wishing to cure a disease in which that stimulus has a role. But in fact, our work usually stops at least one step before th...

A novel bioinformatics strategy for searching industrially useful genome resources from metagenomic sequence libraries.

Although remarkable progress in metagenomic sequencing of various environmental samples has been made, large numbers of fragment sequences have been registered in the international DNA databanks, primarily without information on gene function and phylotype, and thus with limited usefulness. Industrial useful biological activity is often carried out by a set of genes, such as those constituting ...
