Abstract This paper analyses the state of the art for nanotechnology in Barcelona, focussing on the scientific and economic challenges arising from nanotechnologies and the creative and innovative framework in Barcelona that could be used to meet them. Nanotechnology is an endless source of innovation and creativity at the intersection of medicine, biotechnology, engineering, physical sciences and information technology, and it is opening up new directions in R + D, knowledge management and technology transfer. Given the huge economic investment and cutting-edge research in the field of nanotechnology, a creatively managed and cooperation-based university industry is more in demand than ever before.

The history of lexicography in Iran dates back to more than 2,000 years ago, to the time of the compilation of bilingual and monolingual lexicons for the Middle Persian language. After a review of the long and rich tradition of Persian lexicography, the chapter gives an account of the state of the art in the modern era by describing recent advances and developments in this field. During the last three or four decades, in line with the advancements in western countries, Iranian lexicography evolved from its traditional state into a modern professional and academic activity trying to improve the form and content of dictionaries by implementing the following factors: the latest achievements in theoretical and applied linguistics related to lexicography; and the computer techniques and information technology and corpus-based approach to lexicography.

Industry Needs

The meat industry needs a skilled workforce to meet the challenges of the 1990's. The need is particularly acute in computing and information technology (IT) because people with the necessary skills are becoming notoriously difficult to find, even for the most technologically advanced and high-salaried industries. The expected fall by 20% in the number of young people in the national labour force between now and 1995 will exacerbate these difficulties, as will the poor perception that potential employees have of the meat industry.

The Individual

Developments in the information technology make pos sible the use of computer searching of normal text, to locate the articles of interest to match a professional pro file. These profiles are computer equivalents of an indi vidual's description of his work assignment, and are stored in the computer to be compared with new or current data being processed in normal text by the computer. The data is the author's/publisher's abstract of the article in the orig inal form. The computer reads the data and compares it with over 2500 profiles. When a match occurs, the abstract is selectively printed out and sent to the individual. This is an operational system used in the IBM Technical Informa tion Retrieval Center to keep IBMers aware of the state-of- the-art in their specialty. Feedback statistics are included to indicate the high response and satisfaction criteria of the users.
