MycoKey
http://www.mycokey.com/
This interesting site, by two Research Associates of the Department of Systematic Botany, University of Aarhus (Denmark), aims to provide a simple means for navigating through the various taxa of fungi. Currently covering 279 genera and 1,090 illustrated species, MycoKey includes "the genera of basidiomycota with stem and cap (Agarics, Boletes etc.), polypores and club fungi from Northern Europe (i.e. Europe north of the Alps)." A second version detailing "most genera of sexual fungi forming fruitbodies" is slated for release in summer 2001. To navigate the site, select the "easy" (pictorial characters only) or "full" (pictorial characters accompanied by descriptive botanical terms) version; then select the appropriate character and proceed to the next question. At any point, users may choose to browse images of all genera that apply to that description -- this includes close-up color images for each genus/species that fits the characters they have selected. Note that use of this resource is currently free of charge but requires a cookie (check your browser preferences). [LXP]
[Back to Contents]Perfect, Amicable and Sociable Numbers
http://xraysgi.ims.uconn.edu:8080/amicable.html
These friendly sounding numbers are defined by their divisibility and sums. A perfect number is a number whose positive divisors (except for itself) sum to itself; an amicable number is a pair of numbers each of which equals the sum of the other's aliquot parts; and the members of aliquot cycles of length greater than two are often called sociable numbers. This page, housed at (but not officially affiliated with) the Institute for Materials Science at the University of Connecticut, defines and describes perfect, amicable, and sociable numbers and introduces aliquot sequences. The text has links to a bibliography and to numeric tables. This site might be interesting to college-level mathematics students or anyone into mathematical puzzles. [HCS]
[Back to Contents]Global Warming: Early Warning Signs
http://www.climatehotmap.org/
Created by a host of organizations (Environmental Defense Fund, Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Union of Concerned Scientists, US Public Interest Research Group, World Resources Institute, and World Wildlife Fund), this site seeks to provide evidence of the "fingerprints" and "harbingers" of global warming. A clickable map of the world enables users to take a closer look at geographic regions, at specific examples of "fingerprints" (e.g., heat waves, sea level rise, melting glaciers, and Arctic and Antarctic warming) and "harbingers" (spreading disease, earlier arrival of spring, range shifts and population declines in plants and animals, bleaching of coral reefs, extreme weather events, and fires). While it is unclear that any specific event may be explained by global warming, the combination of events highlighted at this page provides powerful fodder for further thought. [LXP]
[Back to Contents]The Effects of New Technology on Roller Coaster Thrills, Safety and Economics
http://www.me.utexas.edu/~uer/roller/
Linear induction motors, laser sensors, and hydraulic restraint are just a few of the terms tossed around here in the context of roller coaster technology. This informative Website was put together by two mechanical engineering students at the University of Texas. The history of roller coasters, new technologies in coaster design, evaluation criteria, and case studies are all presented. Some of the new technologies deal with elimination of the lift hill at the ride's beginning, collision prevention, and reaching extremely high speeds. The case studies include coaster specifications, how new technologies were applied to design, and a note on economic considerations. The site's layout is easily navigable, with "next" and "back" buttons and a sidebar with highlighted quotes and images. A nice glossary and references (both have some hyperlinks) are included. [HCS]

7. Perfect Pitch on the Internet
http://www.provide.net/~bfield/abs_pitch.html
Last week, a team of researchers reported that the perception of relative pitch (i.e., the ability to carry a tune) is highly heritable. Published in the March 9, 2001 issue of Science magazine, this new finding lends insights into musical pitch recognition, a component of musical ability, in humans. To distinguish the relative importance of nature (genes) versus nurture (environment), researchers tested pitch perception in 284 pairs of genetically identical, and genetically distinct, twins using a "Distorted Tunes Test." The ability to distinguish musical distortions was far more correlated among identical twins than fraternal twins, indicating that the trait is strongly influenced by genes. While this study demonstrates a biological basis for pitch discrimination, some skeptics believe that the degree to which heritability is important is still unclear, because identical twins are more likely to express developmental abnormalities than fraternal twins. This week's In The News highlights the recent finding, offering news briefs, research insights, and resources related to pitch perception.
The first two news briefs, from ScienceNow (1) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (2), summarize the recent research finding. The third site introduces lead researcher Dr. Dennis Drayna (3), geneticist at NIH's National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD). For information on the The Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology Unit, St. Thomas' Hospital (UK), the source of the twin data, see the Unit's homepage (4); in addition to featuring the recent discovery on pitch perception, the Webpage describes other twin-based research such as the genetic basis for common diseases and aging. Similarly, the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders homepage (5) offers viewers a broad overview of the Institute's research on human communication disorders. For those interested in the physics and psychophysics of music, these course notes by David Worrall, composer and founder of The Australian Centre for the Arts and Technology (The Australian National University), provide helpful context (6). Finally, for links to additional resources related to pitch perception, see this page (7) created by an undergraduate at the University of Michigan. [LXP]
