The Adaptive Web and Bio-inspired designs for Recommendation System | Center for Complex Networks and Systems Research
Back to Research Recommender Systems: MyLibrary@LANL: a working collaborative and recommender system for digital libraries.TalkMine: an adaptive, distributed, highly personalized recommender.Non-metric network topologies: exploring indirect associations in data for recommendation, and the prediction of trends and social relationships in time Effects of transitive closures: which closures preserve scale free behavior and lead to highest performance in information retrieval. Network of 1300 journal titles accessed by the users of the MyLibrary Web Service at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The links shown denote a strong measure of co-occurrence (proximity) of two journals (the nodes) in user personalities. From this network, two main clusters were identified via Singular Value Decomposition: one pertaining to journals in chemistry, materials science, physics and the other to computer science and applied mathematics.

Self-Sustaining Aquaponic Greenhouse Coming to Vermont Park
The Root Center, a pending non-profit, is building a solar-heated aquaponic greenhouse in Vermont Park. Dubbed “Garden of the Future,” the project will house a sustainable fish pond and aquaponic vegetables. The Root Center’s mission is to provide food, water, shelter, energy and community, and the food the greenhouse produces will supply local food banks and schools. The 45-foot domed greenhouse sits on half an acre of land leased from the National Gardening Association. Using only fish food and seedlings to start, the team will install a fish pond in the center of the self-sustaining dome. Bacteria will act as a pH regulator in the pond, and the water containing fish poo will be siphoned to the plants, providing not just water but also natural fertilizer. In addition to producing organic food, the whole compound will be powered by renewable energy – passive solar technology and vertical axis windmills will produce electricity for the dome. + The Root Center Via Treehugger
Share Your Office Launches in the US
Yesterday, I got a chance to chat with Clement Alteresco, founder of Share Your Office, which launched in the US just hours before we met up. Alteresco bills Share Your Office as the Airbnb of office space. Unlike LiquidSpace, a similar service, they aren't trying to match business users with meeting space in real-time. In France, where the service is known as Bureaux a Partager, they are the leader in the space and operate much like a commercial real estate broker, except that they specialize in spare space. Two things about Share Your Office standout. Second are the value added services they offer. In an increasingly dynamic and project-based global economy, there should be plenty of opportunity for Share Your Office in the US and elsewhere.
