CAMPUS

In the fall of 1976 I had a call from a friend, Sid Benson, who, after a decade at the Stanford Research Institute, just returned to the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. He invited me for a visit, telling me about USC s plans to build up seleeted programs, ineluding chemistry. I visited USC and found it, with its close to downtown urban campus, quite different from the sprawling expanse of the eross-town eampus of UCLA, whieh I had visited on a number of oe-... 

The arrival of the Olah group at the USC campus with its moving vans caused quite a stir. Whatever shortcomings our temporary quarters had were overcome by our enthusiasm, and, miraculously, in 3 weeks we were back doing research. I am not sure whether everybody at USC was pleased by this invasion and our determination to over-...

Another method is a series of exhaust dilution equations based on Wilson and Lamb " and a series of earlier papers summarized in ASHRAE. This method is based on wind tunnel tests on simplified buildings and is intended to provide conservative (low dilution) results. Wilson and Lamb compared the model to actual field data collected at a university campus and found that the model did indeed predict dilutions similar to measured worst-case dilutions suitable for a screening model. However, many cases resulted in conservative Linderpredictions of dilutions. ...

The standard injection molding machine used had a screw diameter of 30 mm and the aspect ratio of 23.70. The barrel temperature profile was 270, 280, 290, and 295°C. The mold temperature was about 90°C. The injection molded tensile samples were processed according to the CAMPUS specification (Computer Aided Materials Preselection by Uniform Standards) [24] and DIN 53455 Form 3. To obtain the different flow conditions, four groups of samples were injection molded by varying melt... 

The roots of the LBNL can be traced back to the 1920s, and the pursuit of the secrets of the nucleus. Ernest O. Lawi ence, built the first large cyclotron (a particle accelerator) on the Berkeley campus of the University of California in 1931. Unlike most the other labs, LBNL s beginnings depended on the support of philanthropists who saw the promise in Lawrence s work. Seeking private sector support, an...

A number of material suppliers offer information on their products on electronic devices (floppy discs, CDs, etc.) for use on personal computers. An important one, called Campus, is a database concept started by four German material manufacturers who use a uniform software. This database, initially developed jointly by BASF, Bayer, Hoechst, and Hulls, provided for other manufacturers to join. The present consortium has more than 50 materials suppliers worldwide. It is given in the form of diskettes in German, English, French, Italian, or Spanish. Each diskette contains the uniform test and evaluation program and the range of the respective material producers. It runs on IBM-compatible personal computers under the MS-DOS operating system. 

In order to understand the possibilities of these two databases, a comparison can be made of a central database like Polymat and Campus. The Polymat central database provides the following (1) all the products of the various firms represented are included (2) the search is independent of the manufacturers and can be performed for all the products of all the manufacturers (3) available are not only the values contained in the list of basic values but other data specified in such standards as DIN, ASTM, and BS (although a search can nevertheless be confined to products whose data conform to the list of basic values) (4) the information is presented only once and is then maintained centrally and (5) a selection can be made between a greater number of materials and manufacturers. 

The manufacturers database, Campus, provides use that is free of charge and no charges for data transmission. The actual value of the table of basic values described in Campus lies in its effect on the standardization and streamlining of testing. In the long term, the nonparticipants in the material market will not be able to remain outside this development. 

CAMPUS, the plastics database CAMPUS is an internationally known database software for plastic materials, developed by close cooperation with leading plastics producing companies. It is available worldwide from leading material suppliers. More than 50 plastics producers are participants of CAMPUS. Information about the latest list of participants and distribution addresses can be found at the CAMPUS homepage http //www.CAMPUSplastics.com/. This web site also includes extensive information about the data content of CAMPUS and links to the participants web sites. It is important to emphasize that only CAMPUS participants distribute CAMPUS diskettes. Each plastic producer distributes his own diskette to his customers without charge. 

The plastics properties catalogue includes single-point data, multi-point data, processing data, product description texts and customer service information. You can select plastic products for your specific application by using the query options. The main feature of the CAMPUS philosophy is comparable data. The properties are based on the international standards ISO 10350 for Single-Point data and ISO 11403-1, -2 for Multi-Point data. CAMPUS is available in English, German, Spanish, French and Japanese. 

CAMPUS uses a uniform database structure and uniform interface for all participating suppliers, with frequent updates of the property data. It allows preselection or screening of materials, suitable for specific applications, from a worldwide range of commercial plastics, while continuously being developed further with respect to its properties base. CAMPUS is based on two international standards for comparable data, that use meaningful properties based on unambiguous selection of specimen types... 

MCBase, the CAMPUS merge database distributed by M-Base Engineering + Software GmbH,... 

MCBase offers the possibility to load the original CAMPUS data of different suppliers from version 3.0 and higher into one database, which allows direct comparison. It has been developed in close cooperation with the CAMPUS consortium. For more information see http //www.m-base.de/. MCBase is user friendly and offers extremely efficient handling of material data. All CAMPUS options are available define search profiles define and sort tables print tables and data sheets curve overlay scatter plots. In addition MCBase 4.1 offers search in curves search for comparable grades text search update via Internet calculation of simulation parameters. A French version of MCBase is available from the distribution agent in France. 

Materia] Selector Access to (1) GE Select, a comprehensive database in Microsoft Windows format of the family of GE polymers which allows users to sort for the GE product families and grades of materials that will best meet the specified property ranges, and (2) CAMPUS, a worldwide database for plastic materials with uniform global protocol for acquiring and comparing data on competitive plastic materials.
