Go to this month's New sites or to New E-Journals

The following are interesting Engineering sites AND journals found this month by the Donald W. Craik Engineering Library staff. These sites may be incorporated into our regular web site in appropriate sections. In any case, they will also remain here and can be found in the future by searching our Engineering Web at any time.

: Launched by the British Mycological Society, the Fungus 2000 Database initiative was established "to record at least 2000 species of fungi from the British Isles in the year 2000 and, equally as important, to produce a millennium collection of one dried voucher specimen for each species recorded." The Fungus 2000 Database provides details on the first collections of species made during the year 2000, listed in alphabetical order (scientific name only). Each data entry describes the species name (scientific name only), associated organism(s), location of specimen, date of collection, reference data, and (in some cases) a distribution map for the species. As of early May, 2000, nearly 800 specimens have been included in the database.

: There are no practical uses for this site, but it's strangely addictive. To use an already overused phrase--you just have to see it to believe it. Sodaplay is like an animated set of virtual TinkerToys. You can build virtual wireframe models using a simple toolkit. Then you can make your creation bounce, roll, and walk by adding "springs," which can be set to move almost like muscles. It's a tedious process, and it takes some practice to create a workable model, so get ready to become addicted (or frustrated!). If you aren't that ambitious, then simply load an existing model, let it wander around and mesmerize you for a while, and then start to alter it and see what happens. You can adjust gravity, its shape, and the movement of its springs. And the best part is after you're done, you don't have to clean up your room.

The primary purpose is to provide regular, rapid but authoritative reviews of important advances in this field for students, researchers, managers and others in industry, government and academia. A timely series of research review papers, patent abstracts and summaries of special government reports on the principles and practices of biotechnology are covered quarterly.

: The design of industrial processes requires the availability of reliable thermochemical and phase equilibrium data. In recent years there has been growing recognition that computers have enormous potential in the application of such information. Calphad was established in order to promote this field through development of models to represent thermodynamic properties for various phases which permit prediction of properties of multicomponent systems from those of binary and ternary subsystems, critical assessment of data and their incorporation into self-consistent databases, development of software to optimise and derive thermodynamic parameters and the development and use of databanks for calculations to improve understanding of various industrial and technological processes. This work is disseminated through the Calphad journal and its annual conference.

: Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the scientific and technical problems of cold environments, including both natural and artificial environments. The primary concern is with problems related to the freezing of water, and especially with the many forms of ice, snow and frozen ground. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference. Emphasis is given to applied science, mainly in the physical sciences, with broad coverage of the physics, chemistry and mechanics of ice, ice-water systems, and ice-bonded soils. Relevant aspects of earth science and materials science are also of primary concern. Technological aspects are dominated by research, development and professional practice in engineering. This includes traditional major specializations of engineering (military, civil, mechanical, mining, electrical), together with other engineering subdivisions (e.g. hydraulic, agricultural, highway, sanitary, petroleum, ocean, airport). Coverage also embraces engineering geology, architecture, meteorology, hydrology, forestry, exploration geophysics, naval architecture, and so forth.
