These tools are quite small and can easily be smuggled into a research space. For example, it is easy to extract individual pages from a book by tearing along the edge of a metal or plastic ruler, or by cutting them with an X-Acto knife. <BR/><BR/>Thieves also use the "wet string" method, in which a foot-long piece of cotton twine is soaked in the mouth and then placed inside the book to dampen the edge of the page. Once the page is damp it can easily be torn from the book.<BR/><BR/>Within framework of cartography the cartosemiotics is a new discipline studying features of cartosemiotic models (from the standpoint of modelling, communication and cognition) with the goal of acquisition of new spatial knowledge or revitalization of forgotten spatial information. Cartosemiotic<BR/>models are cartographic, map-like, and cartographic-textual products in electronic form and non electronic one (e.g. traditional print form) of the human knowledge about earth (and its parts), planets and cosmos-referred features and relations.<BR/> /WOLODTSCHENKO 2003/.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
