Macro-model: Structural Map
• Clusters of journals denote 212 disciplines
(7000 journals).
• Labeled with their dominant ISI category
names.
• Circle sizes (area) denote the number of
journals in each cluster.
• Circle color depicts the independence of
each cluster, with darker colors depicting
greater independence.
• Lines denote strongest relationships
between disciplines (citing cluster gives
more than 7.5% of its total citations to the
cited cluster).
• Enables disciplinary diffusion studies.
• Enables comparison of institutions by
discipline.

Time to retire your memory card
reader. Amazingly, SanDisk has
managed to embed high-speed USB
2.0 connectivity into an SD card,
bringing plug-and- play convenience to
a new level. Now all you have to do is
plug your SD card direct into any USB
port to begin transferring your data,
images, audio or video between
devices. The new mechanical design
does away with the need for a
removable cap and even features an
LED that blinks when data transfer is
taking place-- all on the tiny foam
factor. Hopefully, twice the
convenience won't mean twice the
price.
