Academic databases

Computer Source http //www.ebsco.com/ (accessed August 2, 2010). Click on Academic Databases and then choose Computer Science as subject. Computer Source contains nearly 300 full-text journals and magazines covering topics such as computer science, programming, artificial intelligence, cybernetics, information systems, robotics, and software, providing users with a balance of full-text technical journals and full-text consumer computer titles.

All of the science disciplines contribute to the body of information and knowledge that is used by pharmaceutical researchers, educators, and practitioners. Questions and information needs that arise within a pharmaceutical specialty will not necessarily be met by the literature associated with that specialty [13]. Researchers and academics particularly need access to a broad range of science literature. English is widely used however, the biomedical literature is and has been truly international [13]. About 86% of the current MEDLINE database is English language even though only 52% of current cited articles were published in the United States [20].

Gower Publishing (Brookfield, VT) has published a series of electronic handbooks providing approved ingredient information on materials used in cosmetics, personal care additives, food additives, and pharmaceuticals. Academic Press, through its Sci-Vision branch, has just (2000) launched an ambitious service of CD-ROM-based toxicity database products which are structure and substructure searchable. 

The data analysis included evaluating the number, impact, profile, and causes of reactive incidents. CSB examined more than 40 data sources (e.g., industry and governmental databases and guidance documents safety/loss prevention texts and journals and industry association, professional society, insurance, and academic newsletters), focusing on incidents where the primary cause was related to chemical reactivity. 

Develop and implement a publicly available database for reactive hazard test information. Structure the system to encourage submission of data by individual companies and academic and government institutions that perform chemical testing. 

By far the most widespread use of NMR in an on-line production environment is the utilization of downhole exploration tools by petroleum service companies such as Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes. Articles on these unilateral NMR systems are found in the patent databases, " academic literature, and on-line resources provided by the exploration companies. The references provided here are just a few examples in a very prolific field. The technique is applied in high-temperature and pressure situations and currently is used down to a depth of about 10 km (6 miles) to produce a picture of water/oil content in the adjacent rock formations as well as to derive permeability, diffusivity, and hydrocarbon chemistry information. Mobile unilateral NMR systems such as the NMR-MOUSE are also being developed in order to take benchtop NMR systems into the field to perform analysis of geological core samples at the drill site. NMR analyzers are also being developed to determine the bitumen content and properties in tar sand production and processing. " " ... 

Another concern is that a volimteer may fail to disclose that they have recently participated in another trial or may even be currently doing so. To deal with this problem, efforts have been made on a volimtary basis to establish national databases that can cross-check volunteer participation. Of course, the value of such databases is dependent on the number of CROs, academic units and pharmaceutical companies who participate. In the United Kingdom, a database called TOPS (The Overvolunteering Prevention...
