The intention of the GoldenGATE editor is to build a bridge between NLP components and XML markup of natural language text according to arbitrary XML schemas. It allows the deployment of NLP components to marking up the bodies of literature they were designed for. In this way, it enables transforming the texts into XML content according to an XML schema that was designed to gain maximum benefit from the knowledge provided in them. The GoldenGATE editor picks up the ideas of plug-in processing resources and pipelined processing implemented in the GATE framework (http://www.gate.co.uk), which has been widely used in many areas of NLP research. At the same time, it provides a full XML editor including assistance for manipulation of both text and markup, thus allowing users to improve data quality by manual intervention. In order to achieve maximum flexibility and extensibility, the GoldenGATE editor provides plug-and-play interfaces on many levels: Individual automated components for markup creation and manipulation, entire groups of functionalities, components accessing documents in arbitrary storage locations, and arbitrary document data formats. ...

This package is generated from a DELTA database (Dallwitz 1980; Dallwitz, Paine, and Zurcher 1993). It comprises an interactive identification and information retrieval system using the program Intkey (running under MS-Windows), descriptions, illustrations, references, and other subsidiary material. The database contains detailed morphological, anatomical and physiological descriptions of over 800 grass genera (Watson and Dallwitz 1981; Watson, Dallwitz, and Johnston 1986; Watson 1987). The descriptive terminology employed here is mostly in line with normal agrostological usage, as set out in modern textbooks, monographs and regional floras (e.g. Hubbard 1968, Hitchcock and Chase 1950, Gould 1968, Jacques-Félix 1962, Bor 1960, Clayton and Renvoize 1986, Chapman and Peat 1992, etc.; and for anatomy, Metcalfe 1960, Clifford and Watson 1976, Ellis 1976 and 1979, and Watson and Dallwitz 1988). Detailed, written Character Notes have been entered for too few of the characters, but the copious character illustrations now provided should facilitate differentiating between character states. ...

To mark the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, commissioned and funded by the Wellcome Trust, has created The Great Plant Hunt. This exciting project will encourage children to explore the natural world around them and join other schools in the biggest ever school science project. Forming part of the Darwin 200 initiative, The Great Plant Hunt invites primary school children to follow in the footsteps of Darwin by going on nature walks in and around their school grounds. They'll find out more about plants and in the process learn key scientific skills. ... [Information of the supplier]
Our overall objective is to resolve the primary pattern of evolutionary diversification among green plants and establish a model for doing so that will be applicable to other groups of organisms with long evolutionary histories. [Information of the supplier]
The BSMB Spring 2016 meeting “The Grey Area: Age and the Extracellular Matrix” sponsored by the Biochemical Society, will be held in Chester on Monday 4th and Tuesday 5th April 2016. The main meeting organiser is Dr Simon Tew, assisted by Dr Mandy Peffers and Professor Eithne Comerford. The meeting will bring together scientists from across the matrix biology and ageing fields and will provide a forum for multidisciplinary discussion on the effects of age and the extracellular matrix and the processes involved in age-related pathologies that affect extracellular matrices. An exciting program of invited international speakers has been assembled including Prof Helen Birch, Dr Elizabeth Laird, Prof Amanda Fosang, Prof Gordon Lithgow, Prof Richard Loeser, Prof Charlotte Peterson, Dr Mike Sherratt and Dr Sara Wickström. There will also be many slots available for short talks and posters selected from submitted abstracts. ... [Information of the supplier]
In the 21st century, it is becoming increasingly important for students to be aware of and understand basic biotechnological and microbiological concepts. As always, these scientific concepts are most effectively conveyed through hands-on laboratory experiences. However, laboratory exercises are challenging because of the potential risk of student exposure to harmful microbes and chemicals, challenges in maintaining sterility of cultures, cost of scientific materials, and length of time required for preparation and laboratory experiments. Because of the urgent need to improve and expand the biotechnology and microbiology component of curricula using novel, safe, and effective approaches, we have developed this web site. As the centerpiece of this project, we have utilized the halophilic microbe, Halobacterium species NRC-1, which has been extensively studied in our laboratory for the last 20 years, as an ideal teaching vehicle. ...
