Bibliographic search

Acknowledgments This contribution derives from a previous work [20], Additional parts have been developed in the frame of an assessment report requested by the Catalan Water Agency (ACA) some colleagues contributed to that report Jordi Cunillera (Servei Meteorologic de Catalunya), Carme Llasat (Universitat de Barcelona), Josep Enric Llebot (Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona) and Javier Martm-Vide (Universitat de Barcelona). Rosana Rel also contributed to the bibliographic search. 

Research articles of interest to biochemists may appear in many types of research journals. Research libraries do not have the funds necessary to subscribe to every journal, nor do scientists have the time to survey every current journal copy for articles of interest. Two publications that help scientists to keep up with published articles are Chemical Titles (published every 2 weeks by the American Chemical Society) and the weekly Current Contents available in hard copy and computer disks (published by the Institute of Science Information). The Life Science edition of Current Contents is the most useful for biochemists. The computer revolution has reached into the chemical and biochemical literature, and most college and university libraries now subscribe to computer bibliographic search services. One such service is STN International, the scientific and technical information network. This on-line system allows direct access to some of the world s largest scientific databases. The STN databases of most value to life scientists include BIOSIS Pre-views/RN (produced by Bio Sciences Information Service covers original research reports, reviews, and U.S. patents in biology and biomedicine), CA (produced by Chemical Abstracts service covers research reports in all areas of chemistry), MEDLINE, and MEDLARS (produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and Index Medicus, respectively cover all areas of biomedicine). These networks provide on-line service and their databases can be accessed from personal computers in the office, laboratory, or library. Some... 

In this experiment, students will be introduced to several uses of the computer and the Internet. Students are instructed in the use of bibliographic searches, sequence databases, and structural analytical tools available, free of charge, on the Web. For student practice, several worked examples are provided in the Study Problems. Instructors may modify the experiment by... 

Practice with the software introduced in the Experimental Procedure until you are familiar with it. Use proteins and nucleic acids discussed in your biochemistry class as exercises for bibliographic searches and structure/sc-quence studies. Several more examples are provided in the Study Problems. Continue to use the Web resources described in this experiment as you proceed through this laboratory course. 

In Experiment 5, you will study kinetics and inhibition with the enzyme mushroom tyrosinase. Use PubMed bibliographic searches to learn the following aspects of the enzyme ... 

A bibliographic search has shown that the majority of the HPLC techniques for determining OPPs and OCPs have been applied to the determination of residues in surface, ground- and drinking water. Table 5 lists pesticides determined, extraction and cleanup methods used, HPLC conditions, contaminated matrix and analyte detection limits taken from the literature for water, animal tissues, milk, fruit and vegetables, and cereals. The majority of the studies were done on spiked samples, and in the best of cases there were few real samples analyzed. 

In general, a reaction kinetics following a LHHW model is suitable, but the identification of parameters remains demanding. For some catalysts power-law models may be appropriate, for others not. For example, reaction orders identical with stoichiometric coefficients were suitable for Pd/Al203 doped with different metals. On the contrary, for Pd/MgO reaction orders with respect to phenol ranging from -0.5 to 0.5 were observed [17]. However, the bibliographic search was not able to find a quantitative kinetic model for Pd-type catalysts suitable for reactor design. 

However, during the bibliographical search we became aware of a previous report, followed by other important contributions on the subject, by Miyazaki [3]. For this reason we propose the name Miyazaki-Newman-Kwart (MNK) for the rearrangement. 

Many publications refer to pervaporation with zeolite membranes and recently the group of Falconer and Noble has presented an excellent review paper [113] about this subject. In a bibliographic search about pervaporation and zeolites for the last 10 years we find that many efforts, 28% of the publications, pertain to composite zeolite-polymer membranes, and the rest correspond to different zeolite structures that are summarized in the pie chart shown in Figure 10.19. The most studied structure... 

Bibliographic search A search (by computer) for the journal reference(s) to a selected crystal structure or a set of crystal structures. 

It is apparent that most recent cases of sulfadiazine-induced nephrotoxicity are not prospectively reported, thus the current incidence of sulfadiazine nephrotoxicity is unknown. In 1987, a study of 57 patients with AIDS treated for toxoplasma encephalitis indicated a renal toxicity of 6% [26]. A more recent international bibliographic search (1987 to... 

We are also grateful to Bracco SPA of Milan, EniRicerche of Milan, and the National Institute of Chemistry of Ljiubliana for support in the bibliographic search. 

Bibliographic searches on specific subjects will be undertaken as the library s facilities permit. These searches may be requested by libraries or by individuals who have exhausted the resources of their local libraries. A list of available bibliographies prepared by the National Library of Medicine is available upon request to the library. 

It is supposed by some that the habits of care in handling laboratory materials and meticulous accuracy in statements about quality, which are natural to the technologist, would enable him to use a similar approach in the use of words and to obey rules for arranging subject matter. And so, sometimes the researcher conducts his own survey. In this case, the literature group might carry out a preliminary bibliographic search as an aid to the scientist. 

After a bibliographic search of the Analytical Abstracts database (310), it... 

Bibliographic searches have not disclosed any reports of G2 polyhedra (see Table 1). We will then proceed with other types of polyhedra.
