Bibliographic / reference sources

The protein sequence database is also a text-numeric database with bibliographic links. It is the largest public domain protein sequence database. The current PIR-PSD release 75.04 (March, 2003) contains more than 280 000 entries of partial or complete protein sequences with information on functionalities of the protein, taxonomy (description of the biological source of the protein), sequence properties, experimental analyses, and bibliographic references. Queries can be started as a text-based search or a sequence similarity search. PIR-PSD contains annotated protein sequences with a superfamily/family classification. 

These volumes are a contribution to assist readers in their understanding of chemistry and chemical ideas and concepts. The 509 articles have been carefully chosen to provide basic information on a broad range of topics. For those readers who desire to expand their knowledge of a topic, we have included bibliographic references to readily accessible sources. 

This bibliographic reference is provided also as a source-list fer those whe wisli to pursue more deeply the levels of meaning ascribed to... 

Original bibliographic references can be traced back with access to other parameter sets originating from the same source. 

The first column shows the 2D structure of each molecule. The second column shows the corresponding common name and the CAS number (when available). The third column shows the scientific name of one of the sources in which the antidiabetic activity has been reported (rows in that table are alphabetically sorted based on this column). Bibliographic references for each molecule are divided into three columns in which (a) the first column presents studies that describe the purification of the molecule from the corresponding extract, (b) the second column lists studies that describe the antidiabetic activity of the corresponding extract and (c) the third column lists studies, when available, that describe the antidiabetic activity of the corresponding molecule or one that is very similar to it... 

All data, so far as possible,have been reproduced from the original publications, if available in other cases, the actual source of the data is given in the bibliographic reference. Preference has been given to the experimental data, rather than to values interpolated from a formula in many cases we had to read the data from graphs, with help of a grating (this is denoted by "fig"). 

The bibliography lists the books, journal articles, and other references used in the preparation of the report. In technical reports, a list of cited works is usually headed References. Many different bibliographic formats are used in technical reports. Figure 6.3 illustrates two such formats. In the body of the report, reference sources may be cited parenthetically by name or number or by superscript, for example ... 

In addition to the numeric data (color, solubility, refraction index, spectra, etc.), these factual databases also include a bibliographic section with references or sources and a section with information for the identification of a compound (e.g., name, CAS Registry Number, molecular weight). 

OSH References allows you to search over 300 000 summaries. This collection of bibliographic databases provides you with convenient access to international sources of OSH-related information including OSHline , NIOSHTIC , NlOSHTlC-2, HSELINE, CISILO, and Canadiana. 

As with other controversial issues, activists on both sides of the gun issue have created many useful web sites. Because they offer overviews and links to news and source materials, such sites provide a good jumping-off place for research. Of course, as you explore the web, you will encounter many references to books and other printed materials that are not available online. It will then be time to use the library and its catalog and other bibliographical tools. This chapter describes some of the most important and useful research tools, both online and traditional. 

Each entry contains the title of the article, the author(s) and the bibliographic source which is given in abbreviated form according to standard scientific notation. The present chapter does not use the reference conventions that have been adopted elsewhere throughout this treatise as this chapter is essentially its own bibliography. 

WPIM (World Patents Index Markush), produced by Derwent Publications, Ltd., contains the specific and generic structure records for compounds in the patents included in Derwent Sections B (Farmdoc), C (Agdoc), and E (Chemdoc) since 1987. Sources include patents from 29 industrialized countries as well as European and PCT patents and also items from Research Disclosure and International Technology Disclosures. The compound numbers of relevant references found in WPIM can be searched in Derwent s WPI database to retrieve the corresponding bibliographic information. 

MARPATy produced by Chemical Abstracts Service, contains the generic structure records for patent publications since 1988, which are included in the CA file. Sources include patents from 26 countries plus EPO and PCT publications. Bibliographic records for retrieved references can be directly accessed in this database (101).
