Saeed Nezareh, a student at Tehran University, presented an overview of new information services using instant messaging, databases, and internet protocols. The presentation discussed instant messaging as real-time communication using typed text, libraries' role in providing knowledge access, and how technologies like instant messaging and mobile phones can support new information infrastructure. It also addressed concerns around location, human problems, forgetting, protection, censorship, capacity, and timeliness of information.
The document discusses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It describes how RFID works using radio waves to identify tags attached to objects. RFID tags can be active or passive, and readers detect the tag signal. Common applications of RFID include supply chain management, asset tracking, and automated checkout. The document also examines different RFID architectures and standards.
This document provides an introduction to cognitive science, including its history and disciplines. It discusses early thinkers like Aristotle and Wilhelm Wundt, and schools of thought such as structuralism and functionalism. Important figures that advanced the field through studies of memory, language, and behavior are mentioned, like Ebbinghaus, Chomsky, Watson, Skinner, and Newell and Simon. Cognitive science is defined as the interdisciplinary scientific study of the mind, brain, and intelligent behavior. The document outlines cognitive processes and the disciplines that make up cognitive science today, including neuroscience, linguistics, psychology, and artificial intelligence.

CAS is a global leader in chemical information and provides the most comprehensive databases of disclosed research in chemistry and related sciences. It has two principal databases, CAplus which contains bibliographic information and abstracts for chemical journals, patents, and publications, and Registry, the world's largest substance database containing over 41 million organic and inorganic substances. CAS makes this information searchable through products like STN and SciFinder, which allow users to rapidly find chemical information to support research and business decisions.
The document provides an overview of patent information sources. It discusses the history of patents, what a patent is, why patents are important, what information is contained in a patent document, how patents are organized using classification systems, and important patent sources available on the internet such as Espacenet and the United States Patent and Trademark Office website.
METADEX is a bibliographic database covering metallurgy and materials literature worldwide since 1966. It contains over 5 million records on topics like steel composition and properties, alloy development, metal extraction and processing. Abstracts are available for most records added since 1979. The database is updated monthly with around 45,000 new entries per year.
The document provides information about MathSciNet, a database maintained by the American Mathematical Society (AMS) that contains bibliographic information and reviews of mathematical literature. It summarizes that MathSciNet contains over 2 million items and 1 million citation links that are added to by over 10,000 reviewers worldwide. It also allows searching by author, journal, subject classification and other fields.
ISI Web of Knowledge started in 1955 with Dr. Eugene Garfield's concept of citation indexing and searching. It evolved over decades as technology advanced, bringing together data, tools, and content to create an integrated research platform covering sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. The platform provides comprehensive coverage from 1945 onward across various databases and allows for cross-database searching and analysis of trends, citations, and more to help researchers efficiently find and use information. It is accessed by over 3,200 institutions globally.
Inspec is a major indexing database of scientific and technical literature covering fields like physics, engineering, electronics, and computing. It contains nearly 10 million records from over 3,800 journals and other sources. Inspec provides rigorous indexing of publications using controlled vocabularies as well as other indexing methods. It is aimed at researchers, academics, and others seeking information in its covered scientific and technical fields.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
