• Clusters of journals denote 212 disciplines (7000 journals).

• Labeled with their dominant ISI category names.

• Circle sizes (area) denote the number of journals in each cluster.

• Circle color depicts the independence of each cluster, with darker colors depicting greater independence.

• Lines denote strongest relationships between disciplines (citing cluster gives more than 7.5% of its total citations to the cited cluster).

• Enables disciplinary diffusion studies.• Enables comparison of institutions by

discipline.Boyack, K.W., Klavans, R., & Börner , K. (2005, in press). Mapping the backbone of science. Scientometrics.

SanDisk SD card with USB• SD card with built-in USB

11/01/2005Time to retire your memory card reader. Amazingly, SanDisk has managed to embed high-speed USB 2.0 connectivity into an SD card, bringing plug-and- play convenience to a new level. Now all you have to do is plug your SD card direct into any USB port to begin transferring your data, images, audio or video between devices. The new mechanical design does away with the need for a removable cap and even features an LED that blinks when data transfer is taking place-- all on the tiny foam factor. Hopefully, twice the convenience won't mean twice the price.
