Abstracts Numerical data included

Move 3, the last and most important move of the abstract (and often the longest), highlights the principal Endings of the work. Three examples are considered (P12-P14). Only the most essential or representative data are reported, including numerical values, when appropriate. (Note that numerical data should include units and standard errors or deviations. Do not omit units or error terms to conserve space.) Move 3 may also inform readers about the contents of the full article. For example, P12 informs readers that acute toxicity information for three pesticides is presented in the text. Move 3 sometimes ends with a concluding remark. In P12 and P13, the data themselves end the abstract and no summative remarks are made in P14, the authors add a concluding remark. 

Moves 2 and 3 of the conference abstract also parallel the moves of the journal article Introduction. Move 2 points out a gap in the field (e.g., a problem that needs to be solved, work that needs to be done) and serves as a transition to move 3, which describes the work to be presented. Depending on the goals of the project, different aspects of the work may be highlighted. In some instances, methods will be emphasized in others, results will be the focus of attention. When possible and appropriate, numerical data should be included in the conference abstract. If this is not possible, because you are still completing parts of the work, at least state in the abstract what data will be presented at the conference (e.g., Arsenic levels from two different lakes will be reported. ). Results are the... 

Abstract The present knowledge of protein science includes information on amino acid sequence and 3D structure in terms of precise models on the atomic level. Recourse to the respective databanks and advanced computer programs allows a series of molecular features to be calculated. Application of analytical surface calculation programs (SIMS, MSRoU) based on atomic coordinates or the coordinates of gravity centers of amino acids allows precise molecular dot surfaces to be calculated, in addition to numerical data for anhydrous molecular surface and anhydrous molecular volume. Usage of in-house hydration programs (HY-DCRYST, HYDMODEL) permits the putative localization of individual water molecules on the protein envelope to be addressed explicitly. To estimate the overall values of protein volume and hydration, simple approximations based on the amino acid composition and characteristic numbers for the constituents can be used. Derivation of secondary... 

Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Library [44] includes The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, a collection of regularly updated, systematic reviews of the effects of health care. It is maintained by contributors to the Cochrane Collaboration. Cochrane reviews are reviews mainly of randomized controlled trials. To minimize bias, evidence is included or excluded on the basis of explicit quality criteria. Data are often combined statistically, with meta-analysis, to increase the power of the findings of numerous studies, each too small to produce reliable results individually. Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness is also included. It consists of critical assessments and structured abstracts of good systematic reviews published elsewhere. The Cochrane Controlled Trials Register with bibliographic information on controlled trials and other sources of information on the science of reviewing research and evidence-based health care are part of the Cochrane Library. It is commercially available on CD-ROM or the Internet. 

Medline. The Medline data base, which comes from the National Library of Medicine, is a superb, indispensable reference library that is particularly strong in its wide coverage of research activities in the biomedical literature. It also encompasses the areas of clinical medicine, health policy, and health care services. Each year, over 300,000 articles are reviewed and indexed into the data base. The full bibliographic citations of these articles, usually including the abstract of the published work, are available from numerous vendors in CD-ROM format and are usually updated on a monthly basis. 

Move 3 highlights the principal Endings of the work and is often the longest segment of the abstract. When practical, numerical values (with their error terms, e.g., standard errors or deviations) are reported otherwise, only the major trends suggested by the data are summarized. It is not appropriate to include a table in the abstract or to repeat all of the results presented in the paper. In many instances, the abstract ends with a concluding statement that draws attention to the major findings or impacts of the work. 

References to the literature. References to the original data are given in the text, as Washburn.2 The exact citation can then be found in the list of references, which are given in alphabetical (and numerical) order, as Washburn,2 Bur. Standards J. Research 10, 525 (1933), where the numerals indicate, respectively, the volume, page, and year. The abbreviations used for the titles of the periodicals are those adopted as standard by the International Union of Chemistry (See, for example, Chemical Abstracts List of Periodicals Abstracted ). When the citation is that of a book, it is written as Washburn, Introduction to the Principles of Physical Chemistry, McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York (1921), where the title is in quotation marks, and then in order follow the name of the publisher, the place of publication, and, in parentheses, the year of publication. If the book citation includes volume and page numbers, these follow immediately after the title. 

The chief sources of data for particular compounds are Chemical Abstracts and the numerous reference handbooks, including Beilstein. Information on relatively simple compounds can often be obtained from handbooks such as the following ... 

The present first volume of the series deals with symmetrical GeR4 compounds (Section 1.1.1) and a portion of the GeRgR compounds (Section 1.1.2), namely Ge(CH3)3R up to R = cycloalkyl. The literature has been covered to December 5, 1985 through the Chemical Abstracts on-line data retrieval service. A few papers where the original was unavailable and the abstract proved inadequate have not been included. The patent literature, far less numerous than for organo derivatives of the other Main Group IV elements, has been included in those cases where the abstract was adequate. 

Abstract. Water quality modelling in small rivers is often considered unworthy from a practical and economic point of view. This work shows that a simple model structure can be set up to describe the stationary water quality in small river basins in terms of carbon and nitrogen compounds, when it is unfeasible to use complex models. The one-dimensional model include principle factors such as chemical and biological oxidation, concentration of nutrients. Natural process of selfpurification for small river in sharp continental climate of Central Siberia is inhibited by low temperatures, rapid currents and poor development of plankton cenosis. So, a determination of model parameters demands carrying out of special experiments with water samples. The results of numerical modelling are verified by data from the environmental monitoring of some rivers in the basin of Central Enisey.
