Both are due out in the first half of 2008. Additionally, the company licenses its search technology to enterprises for use in KM and other applications. SEARCH FINGERPRINTING The signature characteristic of the Collexis search engine is what it calls "Fingerprinting." Collexis creates a thesaurus (or what might be called a search vocabulary) for each database. Using that vocabulary, it creates a "Fingerprint" of each unique document within the database -- a profile of key concepts contained within the document and their weight. When conducting a basic search, this "Fingerprinting" helps ensure a high degree of relevance in the search results. Collexis ranks the weight of concepts within documents on a number of variables, with specific terms weighted higher than general terms, for example, or words in a title given greater weight than words in the text.
Capable of Rage
In humans, related anger reveals itself with road rage, an impulsive form of anger that involves little or no thought. "In road rage, the person never thinks about what he is doing but just acts in the way he does because he feels that he has been threatened by someone else and the impulsive behavior represents a way by which he can protect himself from such a threat," co-author Allan Siegel told Discovery News. "In reality, his actions are usually much more dangerous to him than to the person whom he perceived cut him off on the road," added Siegel, a professor in the Department of Neurology & Neurosciences at New Jersey Medical School in Newark. Prior studies have suggested that anger is centered in the medial hypothalamus region of the brain, more colloquially known as the midbrain's gray matter.

Roberts RD-41 DAB radio review
We've a little bit of a soft spot for anything retro, so we jumped at the chance to review the Roberts RD-41 as it fuses traditional styling of a Roberts radio with DAB radio for a sharp, clear sound. The Roberts RD-41 is simple and easy to use. Plug it into the mains (it can be used with six LR20 batteries) and the LCD screen lights up blue, which perfectly complements the silver dials and buttons. An Autoscan function finds stations (we found 39 different DAB stations), and it is easy to manually programme in more stations. Up to 12 of your favourite stations can be added to the Roberts RD-41 as pre-sets and there are 12 alarms, which can be programmed to radio, playlist or beep. We loved the fact the Roberts RD-41 has a PausePlus option that pauses live radio in case you get interrupted when listening.
