Where are the Semantics in the Semantic Web?

Introduction
The current evolution of the Web can be characterized from various perspectives [Jasper & Uschold 2001]:

Locating Resources: The way people find things on the Web is evolving from simple free text and keyword search to more sophisticated semantic techniques both for search and navigation.

Users: Web resources are evolving from being primarily intended for human consumption to being intended for use both by humans and machines .

Web Tasks and Services: The Web is evolving from being primarily a place to find things to being a place to do things as well [Smith 2001].

All of these new capabilities for the Web depend in a fundamental way on the idea of semantics. This gives rise to a fourth perspective along which the Web evolution may be viewed:

  • Semantics—The Web is evolving from containing information resources that have little or no explicit semantics to having a rich semantic infrastructure.

The Basics of Fiber Optic Cable

Single Mode cable is a single stand of glass fiber with a diameter of 8.3 to 10 microns that has one mode of transmission. Single Mode Fiber with a relatively narrow diameter, through which only one mode will propagate typically 1310 or 1550nm. Carries higher bandwidth than multimode fiber, but requires a light source with a narrow spectral width. Synonyms mono-mode optical fiber, single-mode fiber, single-mode optical waveguide, unimode fiber.

Single-mode fiber gives you a higher transmission rate and up to 50 times more distance than multimode, but it also costs more. Single-mode fiber has a much smaller core than multimode. The small core and single light-wave virtually eliminate any distortion that could result from overlapping light pulses, providing the least signal attenuation and the highest transmission speeds of any fiber cable type.

Single-mode optical fiber is an optical fiber in which only the lowest order bound mode can propagate at the wavelength of interest typically 1300 to 1320nm.

Guidelines for School Programs To Prevent Skin Cancer

Introduction

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States (1). Since 1973, the number of new cases of melanoma, the skin cancer with the highest risk for mortality and one of the most common cancers among young adults, has increased. The incidence of melanoma has increased 150%, and melanoma mortality rates have increased by 44% (1). Because a substantial percentage of lifetime sun exposure occurs before age 20 years (2,3) and because ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure during childhood and adolescence plays an important role in the development of skin cancer (2,4), preventive behaviors can yield the most positive effects, if they are initiated early and established as healthy and consistent patterns throughout life. Children spend several hours at school on most weekdays, and some of that time is spent in outdoor activities. Schools, therefore, are in a position to teach and model healthy behaviors, and they can use health education activities involving families to encourage sun-safe behaviors at home. Thus, schools can play a vital role in preventing skin cancer.

Wine Labelling

According to the basic Regulation on wine, the mandatory information includes

  • the name under which the product is sold
  • the nominal volume
  • information on the wine’s sulphur dioxide content included on the label
  • the actual alcoholic strength by volume
  • the name or corporate name of the bottler, the local administrative area and the Mem-ber State (or the consignor, for containers with a nominal volume of more than 60 li-tres),
  • and the lot number in accordance with Council Directive 89/396 on indications or marks identifying the lot to which a foodstuff belongs.

On table wines and table wines with geographical indication, the words “poytaviini” (“table wine”) are included in the name under which the product is sold. The table wines with geo-graphical indication must also mention the name of the geographical unit. The quality wines’ psr must mention the name of the production area.
