The Collection of Computer Science Bibliographies About the Collection This is a collection of bibliographies of scientific literature in computer science from various sources, covering most aspects of computer science. The bibliographies are updated weekly from their original locations such that you'll always find the most recent versions here. The collection currently contains more than 3 millions of references (mostly to journal articles, conference papers and technical reports), clustered in about 1500 bibliographies, and consists of more than 2.3 GBytes (530MB gzipped) of BibTeX entries. More than 1 million of references contain URLs to an online version of the paper. For more information on the contents of this collection have a look at the bibliographic statistics. Search for publications in the bibliography collection Since the bibliographies are not just referenced by links, but actually mirrored and present as a local copy, they are searchable. Bibliographies The bibliographies have been categorized hierarchically. Comments

José Saramago: ¿Un escritor comprometido? El pasado trece de junio, durante la última jornada del ciclo literario “Lecciones y Maestros”, celebrado en Santillana del Mar, el escritor portugués José Saramago disertó sobre la crisis civilizatoria que enfrenta la humanidad, sobre la dictadura encubierta que gobierna el planeta y sobre la derechización de la izquierda institucional. En realidad, nada novedoso aportó el premio Nobel, aunque siempre sea oportuno recordar determinadas realidades. Sin embargo - y aunque esta afirmación pueda resultar insólita a muchos lectores - entre el discurso y la práctica de José Saramago existen importantes contradicciones, que no deberían obviarse. En la citada intervención del ciclo literario “Lecciones y Maestros”, Saramago pidió a los ciudadanos que “perdieran la paciencia ahora que la izquierda había dejado de ser izquierda”. “Ya no queda mucho tiempo para tratar de cambiar el mundo. Sobre Cuba, Colombia y el Grupo PRISA José Saramago fue bastante más lejos. 1. 3. 5. 6. 7. 10. 11.

ERIC – World’s largest digital library of education literature Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) / Human Spaceflight Research / Human Spaceflight Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) Atomic Clock Ensemble in Space (ACES) is a fascinating new ESA mission developed in cooperation with the French Space Agency (CNES) that will expand the range of research on the International Space Station (ISS). The ACES clocks will be installed on the external payload facility of the Columbus module. The frequency reference generated on-board the ISS will be used by a worldwide network of ground terminals to perform comparisons with the best available atomic clocks on the ground. Time flies on the ISS Short introductory video of ACES. The most precise measurement of time yet – in space – will be used to probe our knowledge of the fundamental laws of physics ruling the Universe. The ACES payload will be installed on the external payload facility of the Columbus module. ACES attached to Columbus. The most precise measurement of time yet – in space – will be used to probe our knowledge of the fundamental laws of physics governing the Universe. Conclusion

Public Domain Review In this section of the site we bring you curated collections of images, books, audio and film, shining a light on curiosities and wonders from a wide range of online archives. With a leaning toward the surprising, the strange, and the beautiful, we hope to provide an ever-growing cabinet of curiosities for the digital age, a kind of hyperlinked Wunderkammer – an archive of materials which truly celebrates the breadth and variety of our shared cultural commons and the minds that have made it. Some of our most popular posts include visions of the future from late 19th century France, a dictionary of Victorian slang and a film showing the very talented “hand-farting” farmer of Michigan. With each post including links back to the original source we encourage you to explore these wonderful online sources for yourself. Check out our Sources page to see where we find the content.

Galaxy Zoo: Hubble Welcome to Cogprints - Cogprints How does a light-mill work? [Physics FAQ] - [Copyright] updated June 1997 by PEG. Original by Philip Gibbs July 1996. In 1873, while investigating infrared radiation and the element thallium, the eminent Victorian experimenter Sir William Crookes developed a special kind of radiometer, an instrument for measuring radiant energy of heat and light. Crookes's Radiometer is today marketed as a conversation piece called a light-mill or solar engine. When sunlight falls on the light-mill, the vanes turn with the black surfaces apparently being pushed away by the light. When this was realised, other explanations for the radiometer effect were sought and some that people came up with are still mistakenly quoted as correct. To understand why these common explanations are wrong, think first of a simpler setup in which a tube of gas is kept hot at one end and cool at the other. Another blind alley was the theory that the heat vaporises gases dissolved in the black coating, which then leak out and propel the vanes round. P.N.
