The CONICET is the leading organization dedicated to the promotion of science and technology in Argentina. It operates in four major areas * agricultural sciences, engineering and materials * life sciences and health * natural sciences * Social Sciences and Humanities The National Scientific and Technical Research Council (Spanish: Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas, CONICET) is an Argentine government agency which directs and co-ordinates most of the scientific and technical research done in universities and institutes. It was established on 5 February 1958 by a decree of the national government. Its first director was Medicine Nobel Prize Bernardo A. Houssay. Nowadays, it is governed by a board completely independent from the federal government. It funds scientific research in three basic ways. First, CONICET gives grants for collective work to research teams of well-recognized scientists of every discipline (including social sciences and humanities). Secondly, it has a roll of 6,500 researches and 2,500 technicians as employees in different categories, from investigador asistente to investigador principal. And thirdly, it grants scolarships for doctoral and post-doctoral studies to 8,500 young researches from Argentina and other countries. (Wikipedia)

http://blogs.plos.org/mfenner/2011/02/01/epub-wordpress-plugin-released-today/

Martin Fenner''s blog is about a WordPress plugin that he created that automatically creates ePub files from blog posts - they are created in the background when you save a blog post. The plugin can be installed directly from your WordPress installation. For now the plugin, ePub Export, only stores the text and images, but the next version should allow embedding of all kinds of files, most importantly data. ePub is a very interesting document format for scholarly publishing and has several advantages over PDF, including: * ePub can be used for all steps in the creation of a scholarly document, including data collection, authoring, annotating and peer review. There is no need for time-consuming and expensive format conversions. Currently most manuscripts are submitted in Microsoft Word or LateX formats, and then converted first to XML and then to HTML and PDF. Metadata such as author identifiers, digital object identifiers and semantic information can be added early on and don''t get lost in a format conversion. * ePub makes it easy to include supplementary material, e.g. video and other multimedia content, the datasets used in the publication (particularly the data used for tables and figures), all cited references in BibTeX format, etc. * ePub is much better suited for reading on mobile devices, as the format allows reflowing of content. Most articles today are printed from the PDF and then read, but this behavior is rapidly changing.

A federated data sharing platform and infrastructure that provides access to real-time clinical, imaging and biospecimen data across jurisdictions, institutions and diseases. The web-based platform provides a secure infrastructure that advances health research by linking privacy-protected and ethically approved data among a wide network of health collaborators. Access to de-identified health records data is granted to authorized researchers after an application process so patient privacy and intellectual property are protected. BioGrid Australia''s approved researchers are provided access to multiple institutional databases, via the BioGrid interface, preventing gaps in patient records and research analysis. This legal and ethical arrangement with participating collaborators allows BioGrid to connect data through a common platform where data governance and access is managed by a highly skilled team. Data governance, security and ethics are at the core of BioGrid''s federated data sharing platform that securely links patient level clinical, biospecimen, genetic and imaging data sets across multiple sites and diseases for the purpose of medical research. BioGrid''s infrastructure and data management strategies address the increasing need by authorized researchers to dynamically extract and analyze data from multiple sources whilst protecting patient privacy. BioGrid has the capability to link data with other datasets, produce tailored reports for auditing and reporting and provide statistical analysis tools to conduct more advanced research analysis. In the health sector, BioGrid is a trusted independent virtual real-time data repository. Government investment in BioGrid has facilitated a combination of technology, collaboration and ethics approval processes for data sharing that exist nowhere else in the world.

http://embryo.soad.umich.edu/

Complete three-dimensional data set of reference magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM) images of the human embryo representing 10 stages of development for each of 18 human embryos representing Carnegie stages 10 through 23, a critical embryonic time period for organogenesis. The users of the collection are able to manipulate the data on their own personal computers to view any slice from any plane of sectioning. Dynamic rotational views of whole embryos and time-lapse views of the growing embryo are accessible. Each embryo was imaged with three magnetic resonance pulse sequences to obtain fully-registered T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and diffusion-weighted image datasets. A complete set of coronal, sagittal, and axial images were produced from each image data set. Several major organs were isolated from each T1-weighted embryo data set using image segmentation methods and separate image data sets were created to represent each of these organs. Additionally, each embryo was optically photographed under a low-power microscope. The formalin-fixed specimens came from the highly respected Carnegie Collection of Human Embryos. This is the first distributable work to document in three dimensions the anatomy of the human embryonic time period. Pseudo- time-lapse movies were created using morphing software to represent the fourth dimension (time). Carnegie stages are a system used by embryologists to describe the apparent maturity of embryos. An embryo is assigned a Carnegie stage (numbered from 1 to 23) based on its external features. This staging system is not dependent on the chronological age nor the size of the embryo. The stages, are in a sense, arbitrary levels of maturity based on multiple physical features. Embryos that might have different ages or sizes can be assigned the same Carnegie stage based on their external appearance because of the natural variation which occurs between individuals. Postovulatory age is frequently used by clinicians to describe the maturity of an embryo. It refers to the length of time since the last ovulation before pregnancy. Postovulatory age is a good indication of embryonic age because the time of ovulation can be determined and fertilization must occur close to the time of ovulation. The terms gestation, pregnancy, and conception are usually avoided in describing embryonic age because fertilization is not universally accepted as the commencement of development (some consider implantation as the beginning of development). MRM was performed at the Center for In-vivo Microscopy at Duke University. Image processing and data managment was performed at the School of Art and Design, University of Michigan.
