DEVELOPING A RESEARCH STRATEGY Search strategy is a library term for the process of finding information in a logical, step-by-step manner. Using a search strategy ensures that you will find the information or material you need as quickly and efficiently as possible. Choose your topic Find background information Find books on your topic Find periodical articles Find networked resources or relevant Web sites Cite your sources For online help with library research strategy and using library resources, see: Library Research, a Hypertext Guide. TOPIC DISCOVERY AND DEFINITION Many of the entries in this bibliography are useful for choosing a topic. Reference books such as subject- specific encyclopedias are a great source for gathering ideas. A current article in a magazine or newspaper may trigger an idea for a topic. Your textbook or class readings can also be useful. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The materials listed below are sources for finding background information and context. The authors of articles in reference books often provide bibliographies of selected books and articles for further study.

Extractions: Professor Kenneth Hare of the University of Toronto recently answered the question by dividing people and publications into 3 categories. First, and perhaps most vocal today, are the alarmists, many of whom are profiting immensely by writing and speaking on a kind of apocalyptic level, who see the technological society as having created a monster which, if unchecked, will swallow up both man and nature within a few short years. Hare suggests that much of this group's concern is with what he calls "nuisance pollution", i.e., the kind of thing like cloud or smog factors created by man in a city resulting in a slightly decreased aesthetic or com A second group consists of those who attempt to debunk the whole pollution effort. There is still land for more people, there are still many resources for development, and we have always been able to develop new methods and resources when the old were exhausted. After all, when coal supplies ran short, we hardly noticed the loss. Why not recognize that new forms of energy, new synthetic materials for construction, new ways of increasing our ability to feed ourselves, and new social structures making it possible for even greater

Extractions: Erdenesaikhan Naidansuren Email: Tumerdes@yahoo.com Raw images were registered through image- to- image registration procedures using 25 ground control points on average and that were taken from existing vector coverage of lake, river and current administrative boundary of Mongolia. Depending on the satellite nominal flight height, images were distorted differently according to the surface curvature and that influenced the use of 2nd and 3rd polynomial orders, where applicable. To keep original values, the nearest neighbor method was used for resampling. Estimation of the spectral properties of vegetation cover using remote sensing methods, have been successful for many applications. However, extensive processing efforts related to geometric and atmospheric corrections are required. The basic sun angle correction 1/cosine (sun angle) and afternoon pass selection procedure were applied for each image data to decrease the influence of different sun elevations and bi-directional reflectance distribution function (BDRD). The inter-satellite calibration factors, an aim of which to normalize the satellite at –sensor reflectance coefficient in each satellite are have been applied (CIT 1999) for each image data through the radiometric correction procedures Methods

Body And Soul: Greek And Hebraic Tensions In Scripture The top level (a logical metaphor, not a spatial term) is ultimate reality, andconsists The lower level is the physical world which in which we live. http://www.cresourcei.org/bodysoul.html
Extractions: Greek and Hebraic Tensions in Scripture Thoughts on the Di-/Trichotomous Debate Dennis Bratcher There is much in Christian tradition, and thereby in various church doctrines, that has its roots in philosophical ideas and speculation rather than in Scripture. The Reformation helped, but did not address all aspects of the problem, so we are left with a legacy of theology that was developed to answer the questions raised by idealistic Greek philosophy, especially the Platonic and neo-Platonic strands, rather than to explicate Scripture. That leaves us with the sometimes uncomfortable reality that the biblical perspective does not work from the same philosophical base that many early church formulations do. Part of the problem is the dualistic way that we have conceptualized human beings through most of Christian history. Simply, this holds that human beings are made up of two (dichotomy) or three (trichotomy) distinct parts, one physical (body) and one spiritual (soul, spirit, mind). In either di- or tri- models, death is the breaking apart of the spiritual, which is immortal, from the physical, which is the part that dies. The real person is the spiritual since the body is only a shell that is discarded at death. For the

Inherent or unique characteristics of different source materials necessitate different approaches to scanning and conversion requirements for digital projects should be considered on a case-by-case basis (particularly for grant projects with specific requirements). These guidelines have been developed in order to: Increase the interoperability and accessibility of digital collections across UVa through the use of accepted standards and formats Decrease the likelihood of rescanning in the future by promoting best practices for conversion of materials into digital format and the long-term preservation of these digital resources.

Extractions: Product Info Brochures Confocal Theory Java Tutorials ... Home Theory of Confocal Microscopy Over the past several years, the rapidly growing field of fluorescence microscopy has evolved from a dependence on traditional photomicrography using emulsion-based film to one in which electronic images are the output of choice. The imaging device is one of the most critical components in fluorescence microscopy because it determines at what level specimen fluorescence may be detected, the relevant structures resolved, and/or the dynamics of a process visualized and recorded. The range of light detection methods and the wide variety of imaging devices currently available to the microscopist make the selection process difficult and often confusing. This discussion is intended to aid in understanding the basics of light detection and to provide a guide for selecting a suitable detector for specific applications in fluorescence microscopy. Illustrated in Figure 1 is an epi-fluorescence microscope equipped with a state-of-the-art megapixel digital imaging camera system with Peltier cooling designed to image specimens over a wide exposure range in 24-bit color at low light levels. Detectors of this type as well as other alternatives are reviewed in the following paragraphs. Detector Characterization Parameters Electronic imaging sensor performance may be described by a number of variables including: spectral sensitivity, quantum efficiency, spatial resolution, uniformity, the signal/noise ratio, dynamic range, and response speed. Spectral sensitivity refers to the detector signal as a function of the wavelength of the incident light. This parameter is often expressed in terms of the quantum efficiency (
