Encyclopedia of Earth

Welcome to the Encyclopedia of Earth, a new electronic reference about the Earth, its natural environments, and their interaction with society. The Encyclopedia is a free, fully searchable collection of articles written by scholars, professionals, educators, and experts who collaborate and review each other's work. The articles are written in non-technical language and will be useful to students, educators, scholars, professionals, as well as to the general public.

PlanetMath

PlanetMath 

PlanetMath is a virtual community which aims to help make mathematical knowledge more accessible. PlanetMath's content is created collaboratively: the main feature is the mathematics encyclopedia with entries written and reviewed by members. The entries are contributed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL) in order to preserve the rights of both the authors and readers in a sensible way.

PlanetMath entries are written in LaTeX, the lingua franca of the worldwide mathematics community. All of the entries are automatically cross-referenced with each other, and the entire corpus is kept updated in real-time.

In addition to the mathematics encyclopedia, there are books, expositions, papers, and forums. You also might want to check out encyclopedia requests if you'd like to see something we don't have. We also have the encyclopedia available in offline-browsable snapshot form, and in book form. Also see PlanetMath-exclusive feature articles and topics.

iCrank.com - The Mechanical Engineering Portal

iCrank.com - The Mechanical Engineering Portal

iCrank.com has been designed to be the perfect starting page for a mechanical engineer.  The other portals (my yahoo, my netscape, etc.) are great for checking your stock portfolio, the weather, and last nights game scores, but are not very good for obtaining technical information.

iCrank has been assembled BY Mechanical Engineers FOR Mechanical Engineers and will be continually enhanced by you, the users.  The purpose of this site is to provide a starting point that can quickly point you in the right direction.

Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database

Skin Deep: Cosmetic Safety Database 

Skin Deep is a safety guide to cosmetics and personal care products brought to you by researchers at the Environmental Working Group.

Skin Deep pairs ingredients in more than 25,000 products against 50 definitive toxicity and regulatory databases, making it the largest integrated data resource of its kind. Why did a small nonprofit take on such a big project? Because the FDA doesn't require companies to test their own products for safety.

Scholarpedia

Scholarpedia 

"Includes Encyclopedia of astrophysics and Encyclopedia of physics" -- HSM

 

Welcome to Scholarpedia, the peer-reviewed open-access encyclopedia written by scholars from all around the world.

Scholarpedia feels and looks like Wikipedia - the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Indeed, both are powered by the same program - MediaWiki. Both allow visitors to review and modify articles simply by clicking on the edit this article link.

However, Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:

• Each article is written by an expert (invited or elected by the public).
• Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
• Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is responsible for its content.
• Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version.

Herein also lies the greatest difference between Scholarpedia and traditional print media: while the initial authorship and review processes are similar to a print journal so that Scholarpedia articles could be cited, they are not frozen and outdated, but dynamic, subject to an ongoing process of improvement moderated by their curators. This allows Scholarpedia to be up-to-date, yet maintain the highest quality of content.

Astronomy/Astrophysics on the Internet

Welcome to AstroWeb - a collection of pointers to astronomy-related information available on the Internet. The database is maintained by the AstroWeb Consortium, a collaboration involving 9 individuals at 7 institutions. In addition to classified lists of resource records, the Consortium also provides a utility to

search the AstroWeb database: (WAIS search help)

Most of the URLs in the database are tested three times a day to verify aliveness (see "AstroWeb Dead URLs" and "AstroWeb Unreliable URLs"). The Consortium will be pleased to accept contributions of new resource records. You can use HTML forms to

• submit an addition or change to the Astroweb database
• review pending submissions
• review Astroweb records changed in the past month or
• send EMail to the Consortium.

This NRAO version of AstroWeb is recomputed at about 09:10 UTC each day, if the master database has been changed. Neither the individuals involved in the AstroWeb Consortium, nor their affiliated institutions, accept any responsibility for the contents or availability of information located at other Internet sites. 1/27/2003 2:57:25 PM
