Electrochemical Science and Technology Information Resource, hosted by the Ernest B. Yeager Center for Electrochemical Sciences (YCES) and the Chemical Engineering Department, Case Western Reserve University, is exactly what the name implies, a site containing a wealth of electrochemical science and technology resources. ESTIR was created based on frequently asked questions to the sci.chem.electrochem newsgroup. Resources are divided into twelve categories, including Internet resources, public domain information, scientific/technical societies and journals, and graduate school information. [KH]

Ecology Software by Hsin Chi [.zip]
http://nhsbig.inhs.uiuc.edu/www/chi.html
Hsin Chi, of the Laboratory of Theoretical Ecology at National Chung Hsing University (Taiwan), has placed seventeen free analytical programs at this site, designed for data analysis of Exponential Growth (or decay), Predation, Diversity Indices, Harvesting Theory, Logistic Growth, Usher or Williamson Matrices, and many others. All programs "are designed in Visual BASIC for Windows 95 (they do not run on Win 31)." Although there are restrictions on distributing the software, "users are welcome to download these programs and use them in Ecology class or for their own research." Note that the software is provided "for non-commercial uses" only. The site manager expects more programs to become available at the site in the near future. [LXP]

The Cosmos on a Shoestring--RAND Corporation [.pdf, 185p.]
http://www.rand.org/publications/MR/MR864/
Produced by the RAND Corporation, a non-profit research and analysis institution, The Cosmos on a Shoestring (available in Adobe Acrobat [.pdf] format only) details the development of small spacecraft within the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the Department of Defense. As budgets are reduced for large and often risky spacecraft, departments are shifting towards the development of smaller spacecraft. Divided into seven chapters, the report provides an overview of current small spacecraft missions and their cost effectiveness, current and future technology for developing small spacecraft, and conclusions and recommendations for the future of small spacecraft. Especially helpful is an alphabetical glossary of acronyms. [KH]

Butterflies of Poland Database
http://motyle.biol.uni.torun.pl/eng/amotyle.htm
Jaroslaw Buszko and Edmund Kartanas of Nicholas Copernicus University provide this site, which contains two databases: Database on the distribution of butterflies in Poland; and Database supporting identification of Polish butterflies. The first (and more complete) of the databases covers the time span 1986-1997; the user can select single or multiple years to display a species' distribution on a UTM grid system. Although the search time is slow (45 seconds to more than a minute), this valuable resource provides excellent and detailed distribution information for each species. The second database (identification of butterflies, listed by scientific name) is currently under construction and only 20 species have so far been presented; the Polish text will limit this database's utility to non-Polish speakers, nevertheless, the clear color images and Latin names are of obvious utility.

8. The International Fire Information Network
http://www.csu.edu.au/firenet/
This week's In The News covers the issues around the massive fires burning in the Brazilian Amazon. The nine sites listed above provide information and commentary on the global issue. Since July 1997, the media has paid attention to the Brazilian Amazon, as fires there increased and raged out of control. Thought to have been started by slash-and-burn agriculturists, these fires were influenced by El Nino weather patterns and spread in size and intensity until reaching devastating heights in late March, 1998. Although a fortuitous three-day rain extinguished most fires, experts warn that the threat of future fires remains high. While Brazil has received much attention in recent months, such fires are not limited to South America; Indonesia and other tropical countries face similar disturbances to their ecological and economic environments.

(1) The first two sites provide a sampling of recent news articles about the fires in the Brazilian Amazon, including a map of the Amazon and background information. (2) The Woods Hole Research Center, a leader among tropical forest research institutes, provides this site, which includes background information and descriptions of fire research projects in the Amazon, as well as an ABC News Weekend Report video clip from Dec. 7, 1997 - "WHRC on Fire in Brazil" (RealPlayer 5.0). For further references on the ecological impacts of fire in the Amazon, see WHRC's "Publications" section. (3) Stephan Schwartzman of the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) created this site, which examines the National Oceanic Atmospheric and Association's satellite data. NOAA results indicate a 28% increase in burning in the Brazilian Amazon between 1996 and 1997. (4) The following site, from the Ecosystem and Technology Branch of NASA, features two reports on fires and trace gas emissions in Brazil. James A. Brass et al wrote these two reports, which provide estimates of the biogeochemical impacts of fire emissions. (5) Amazon Fires is an informal but informative site put together by scientific researchers at the University of Florida at Gainesville who have lived and worked in the Brazilian Amazon during the past decade. Included are news articles, commentary and reports from Brazilian collaborators during the recent period of intense fires, March 18-23, 1998. (6) Orbital Monitoring of Burned Areas is provided by the Environmental Monitoring Center of the Brazilian Agency for Agricultural Research (NMA). At the site are graphic summaries of satellite images of the burns (at biweekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly scales) for seven years of map coverage. (7) This site, provided by the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at the Space Science and Engineering Center, University of Wisconsin-Madison, provides four satellite photographs of hot spots from fires in the area. The site is highlighted by a Java based interactive dual image comparison of photos from March 15 and 16 that allow users to compare March 15 to March 16 in the same photo. (8) The final site is provided by Firenet, a special interest network dedicated to all aspects of fire science and management. Based at Charles Sturt University in Australia, this excellent resource covers many aspects of fire research and contains images and links to sites around the world. [LXP]
