This paper discusses the Consortium for the Computer Interchange of Museum Information (CIMI)'s international effort to provide distributed search and retrieval of cultural heritage information. A primary aspect of CIMI's work utilizes ANSI/NISO Z39.50-1995, and American National Standard protocol for information retrieval. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) recently approved Z39.50 as ISO 23950. CIMI chose Z39.50 to enable uniform access to existing and emerging digital collections and the vast repositories of cultural heritage information resources. These resources include a variety of physical and digital objects--physical artifacts and digital derivatives of those artifacts, descriptive records designed for collection management, bibliographic records, full-text documents, online tools such as thesauri and authoritative lists of artists' names, and more. CIMI's application Z39.50 in the networked cultural heritage information environment is breaking new ground in distributed and integrated access to textual and non-textual digital collections.

Article on targeting the STAT3 signaling pathway in cancer and the role of synthetic and natural inhibitors.

This article identifies 120 parents' intentions to adopt mobile technology and gathers in-depth perceptions about mobile technology adoption with a smaller subset of 13 parents.

This presentation covers the background and definition, stakeholder roles, policy frameworks, challenges and opportunities, and current/emerging trends in Open Access and Scholarly Communication.

Article analyzes the origins of the complex Fe 2p X-Ray Photoelectron Spectra (XPS) of hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) and is related to the character of the bonding in this compound. This analysis provides a new and novel view of the reasons for XPS binding energies (BEs) and BE shifts, which deepens the current understanding and interpretation of the physical and chemical significance of the XPS. This article is part of the JCP Special Topic on Oxide Chemistry and Catalysis.

Article explores degradation of Portland concrete and finds that the combination of fly ash with polymers provides significantly improved properties.

Article is a study highlighting the mechanistic understanding of the dissolution process of SE415 by biocompatible PEG 400 in the (PEG 400 + water) cosolvent mixture using HSPs, Kirkwood–Buff integrals, and thermodynamic functional parameters for solubility.

This article presents evidence that the binary cosolvent system can be a promising approach for enhanced oral absorption in controlling diabetes mellitus (DM) and associated complications in humans.

Article describes how alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is related to developing lung and liver disease, but no large-scale studies examine its association with birth outcomes. The authors investigated the risk of pregnancy complications and adverse birth outcomes in mothers and children with AATD.
