  SAN CARLOS, CA, Oct 08 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Journal articles on various topics, ranging from biological physics to
atomic quantum fluids, are now available on Apple iPhone and Apple iPod
Touch devices. Mark Logic(R) Corporation (www.marklogic.com), a leading
provider of software for information applications, announced today that
the American Institute of Physics (AIP) (www.aip.org) has used MarkLogic
Server to launch its new mobile e-Reader application, iResearch.
iResearch was developed to provide the AIP community of researchers,
comprising physicists, engineers, scientists, and students, with mobile
access to valuable physics journal content. Users may access iResearch
via the Apple iTunes store to download the application for version 3.0
and higher.

    "iResearch is an important part of AIP's strategy to bring our content
closer to end users and provide every researcher in the world with access
to information wherever and whenever they need it," said James Wonder,
director of emerging technology, American Institute of Physics. "Using
MarkLogic Server, we were able to bring iResearch to our community much
faster. With other development approaches, we estimate it would have taken
twice as long to bring such an innovative offering to our researchers."

    In addition to readily accessing AIP content through a Wi-Fi network or
cellular connection, iResearch enables users to optionally save files in
PDF format on their iPhone or iPod Touch devices for offline viewing.
Users may navigate through journals online and then select articles they
wish to read. Once the PDF file has been delivered to the device, users
can save it to read at their convenience when they are offline.

    "Due to its power and versatility to dynamically deliver information to
users in whatever display format they need, MarkLogic Server is an ideal
platform for cutting-edge mobile applications like iResearch," said Tracy
Eiler, vice president of marketing, Mark Logic Corporation. "As
organizations continue to experiment with new ways to provide users with
access to important content, our infrastructure continues to be at the
center of the information application revolution."

    MarkLogic Server allows AIP to load its journal articles directly,
combining XML content, documents, and books into a single, centralized
repository. This has helped the institute avoid costly and time consuming
content transformations. AIP can now get started more quickly when
creating new applications like iResearch, which extend the value of its
information by making it accessible to users in a wide range of delivery
options.

    The journals available in the iResearch application include: Applied
Physics Letters, Biomicrofluidics, Chaos, Journal of Applied Physics, The
Journal of Chemical Physics, Journal of Mathematical Physics, Journal of
Physical and Chemical Reference Data, Journal of Renewable and Sustainable
Energy, Low Temperature Physics, Physics of Fluids, Physics of Plasmas,
and Review of Scientific Instruments.
