Databases and the World Wide Web have overwhelmed the information market. Bibliographic reference databases with links to electronic journals that publish full text manuscripts provide information seekers with a wide range of fast and convienient searching methods. Increasingly organisations present their activities on the WWW which allows them to disseminate updated information about their experts, publications and on-going research projects better than was possible previously. The web technology has a major advantage over printed products since it allows end-users to search, browse and print the information in different formats according to their own specific needs. Agricultural and food science papers published in Finland have been documented annually in this journal for a number of years, but the advent of web technologies have made this much less valuable.;

In an era of globalization, economies over the world have become increasingly international and competitive. According to Alahuhta et al (2005), the last three decade has seen a massive revolution in technology use at both individual and organizations level with several organizations replacing the manual system of operation with modern technologies and computer powered machines. Acheampong, et al (2017) explain that three decades ago it was a dream to conceive that at a point in time all of the world’s knowledge could be put on a single world wide web and browsed by people from different parts of the world for free. These are the realities of the contemporary business place which Casey & Wilson-Evered (2012) explained has been facilitated by the advances in technology and globalization. According to Zaremohzzabieh, et al (2014), e-commerce platform appeared along with the development of internet and the necessities of ventures has given a web-based exchanging spot to customers and suppliers. It is a virtual system for purchasers and merchants, utilizing computer programming technology to coordinate assets on the web and accomplish the objective of community program (Ruzzier, AntonciC, Hisrich, & Konecnik, 2007). E-commerce platform gives all members equivalent and public information location of many services. Merchants can disseminate product information on e-commerce platforms, while purchasers can get a wide range of information without going outside (Strauss, 2016). As a new trend in the economic development and a new pattern of future business advancement, e-commerce platform plays a critical part with many attributes i.e. third party, service nature, neutrality and integration (Ling, et al, 2010).

Citation Searching

According to information scientists, information is modified into knowledge by adding experience. Researchers need powerful and successful filters to help them stay abreast of literature in their field, as well as methods to track the impact of their own research in often very specialized areas of interest. Traditional mechanisms such as peer review and citation searching using bibliometrics are no longer sufficient tools to aid researchers. How can librarians become leaders and powerful allies in this new landscape? Enter the world of Altmetrics. Altmetrics, or alternative citation metrics, provides researchers and scholars with new ways to track influence across a wide range of media and platforms. Altmetrics are metrics and qualitative data that are complementary to traditional, citation-based metrics. Altmetrics is a field of web-based metrics that accounts for total author influence which also looks beyond journal and monographic citation counts to the social web. The aim of this chapter is to explain the concept of library and librarian involvement with altmetrics.

The issues arising during the operation of the GTS of the hydromelioration complex are considered. The level of reliability and degree of safety of the CTA are assessed by comparing the actual indicators of the state of the CTA (monitoring results) with the safety criteria. The comparison of the main parameters of the GTS with the safety criteria is made during the declaration. The interval between the drafting of the Safety Declaration for Hydraulic Structures is five years. Such an interval is a periodic certification rather than monitoring. Exists of the tеhere is a need to create an automated system for monitoring the GTS. Such a system should be multi-level, with role-based access, and be a decision support system. Development of the system is possible using modern web technologies. At each step of the hierarchy, it is possible to solve problems of the appropriate level of complexity. The web system consists of a web interface that provides the ability to store and process the necessary information. The web-based system allows remote users to connect via the Internet. The system is based on the freely available software MySQL 5.5. In the database, the tables type used is InnoDB. The database is based on intelligence on hydraulic structures, similar to the information provided by the owner when they are certified. When monitoring the GTS, the complexes of instrumentation installed on the constructions are used. Information gathering can be done both manually and automated, through measuringdevices. The complex of technical means should use modern unified means of mass production with a service life of at least 10 years. Sensors certified in Russia should be used. Information obtained as a result of the functioning of an automated system for monitoring the GTS can be used to solve a wide range of production tasks.

3D WebGIS systems have been mentioned in the literature almost since the beginning of the graphical web era in the late 1990s. The potential use of 3D WebGIS is linked to a wide range of scientific and application domains, such as planning, controlling, tracking or simulation in crisis management, military mission planning, urban information systems, energy facilities or cultural heritage management, just to name a few. Nevertheless, many applications or research prototypes entitled as 3D WebGIS or similar are mainly about 3D visualization of GIS data or the visualization of analysis results, rather than about performing the 3D analysis itself online. This research paper aims to step forward into the direction of web-based 3D geospatial analysis. It describes how to overcome speed and memory restrictions in web-based data management by adapting optimization strategies, developed earlier for web-based 3D visualization. These are applied in a holistic way in the context of a fully 3D line-of-sight computation over several layers with split (tiled) and unsplit (static) data sources. Different optimization approaches are combined and evaluated to enable an efficient client side analysis and a real 3D WebGIS functionality using new web technologies such as HTML5 and WebGL.

Rootstock breeding programs in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Japan have all released apple rootstocks in the recent past that are potentially important to the worldwide apple industry in the next century. Several of these programs are continuing to breed new rootstocks. Each program has focused on different breeding objectives, thus giving a wide range of horticultural characteristics among this new group of rootstocks. All programs have focused on the horticulturally important traits of productivity, dwarfing and precocity but certain programs have also emphasized other characteristics such as propagability, stress tolerance, disease resistance or insect resistance. Commercialization of this new group of rootstocks is proceeding at an extremely fast pace due to the worldwide networking of fruit tree nursery companies and the use of plant patents. This presents a large job for research and extension personnel to properly test rootstocks for adaptability to different growing areas before they are planted on a large scale. The national rootstock testing project (NC-140) composed of researchers from most apple growing states and provinces in the U.S. and Canada is collecting rootstocks from around the world and conducting uniform field trials that give performance data from a wide variety of climates and soils. This information becomes the basis for local rootstock recommendations in North America. This presentation reviews the most promising rootstocks from around the world and summarize the research information from North American and worldwide trials.
