ScienceIndex.com, a Web 2.0 sciences social network, has announced that it has added two new categories - Civil Engineering and Communication Sciences. The Civil Engineering category covers design and construction of public works, including bridges, dams, and other large facilities, and the Communication Engineering category covers the technologies for transmitting messages.
ScienceIndex.com's Civil Engineering Sciences category covers the design, manufacture, and operation of efficient and economical structures, machines, processes, and systems. It currently contains over 6,100 articles partly derived from more than 40 scientific journals. The latest articles in this category are also available through a Civil Engineering Sciences RSS feed. One of the latest additions covers a multi-region boundary element analysis for coupled thermal-fracturing processes in geomaterials and describes a boundary element code development on coupled thermal–mechanical processes of rock fracture propagation.
ScienceIndex.com's Communication Engineering Sciences category covers the technologies for transmitting messages. It currently contains nearly 5,000 articles partly derived from 30 scientific journals. The latest articles in this category are also available through a Communication Engineering Sciences RSS feed. One recently included article in this category presents broadband cloaking with transmission-line networks and metamaterial.
The ScienceIndex.com site covers news in all fields of biology, business, chemistry, engineering, geography, health, mathematics and society. It currently contains nearly 1.43 million stories distributed among 75 categories. 75,553 users monitor nearly 8,400 journals covering the broad spectrum of sciences. They share about 2,500 new articles every day. Since new science content is discovered in real-time, the delay between original publication and appearance at ScienceIndex.com is no more than two days. ScienceIndex.com provides an advanced search feature which suggests up to ten closely related articles for a search and also for a selected story. Other features include a "Life Traffic Feed", a "Top Content" sidebar, Google Translate functionality, and RSS feeds for every category.
