Michael L. Richardson's Upper Extremity Muscle Atlas
The BBC's Human Body
National Library of Medicine's Visible Human Project
the creation of complete, anatomically detailed,
three-dimensional representations of the normal male and female human
bodies. Acquisition of transverse CT, MR and cryosection images of
representative male and female cadavers has been completed. The male was
sectioned at one millimeter intervals, the female at one-third of a
millimeter intervals.
The long-term goal of the Visible Human Project® is to produce
a system of knowledge structures that will transparently link visual
knowledge forms to symbolic knowledge formats such as the names of body
parts.

The NVO would be a "Rosetta Stone": linking the archival data sets of space- and ground-based observatories, the catalogs of multi-wavelength surveys, and the computational resources necessary to support comparison and cross-correlation among these resources. The NVO will benefit the entire astronomical community. It will democratize astronomical research: the same data and tools will be available to students and researchers, irrespective of geographical location or institutional affiliation. The NVO will also have far-reaching education potential. Astronomy occupies a very special place in the public eye: new discoveries fascinate both the large number of amateur astronomers and the general public alike. The NVO will be an enormous asset for teaching astronomy, information technology, and the method of scientific discovery. Outreach and education will be key elements: the NVO will deliver rich content via the Internet to a wide range of educational projects from K-12 through college and to the public.

The authors conducted an exhaustive empirical study, with the aid of custom software, public search engines and powerful statistical techniques, in order to determine the relative popularity of every integer between 0 and one million. The resulting information exhibits an extraordinary variety of patterns which reflect and refract our culture, our minds, and our bodies.
