What Next for Wood Construction/Demolition Debris?

Residents in localities throughout the world voluntarily participate in the routine recycling of household wastes, such as paper, metals, and plastics containers. But when a house in their neighborhood gets built or torn down, most of the debris – including wood waste – gets landfilled. Such a waste of material suggests that there are opportunities to add value to these under-utilized resources...

Semantic Blogging is the use of rich metadata to transform blogs from simple online diaries to full participants in an information sharing ecosystem. Originally the semantic blogging vision centred around informal decentralized knowledge management, but recent developments in social network analysis, microformats, semantic desktop applications and wikis have challenged, enriched and extend...

A Simple Alphanumeric Classification of Wood Debris Size and Shape

of wood debris size and shape is proposed for use in river and stream channel surveys and restoration projects. Dividing wood debris length and diameter into seven categories, respectively distinguished by an alphanumeric code, results in a total of forty-nine distinct size and shape categories. Intended to be analogous to the phi class intervals used to characterize channel bed substrate, this...

Pharmacogenomics: What is Next?

Pharmacogenomics is moving from a candidate gene strategy to large scale approaches. This is in line with the new paradigm of linking a trait to (a) pathway(s) rather than to single genes. In addition, breakthroughs in genomics offer a non-a priori assessment of implicated genes, expanding the possibilities in pharmacogenomics research. In this review, we discuss the pros and cons of new concep...
