Experimental Techniques. Chromatography was performed on a Varian model 5060 HPLC equipped with a RI-3 refractive index detector. A Vista Plus Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) data system was used consisting of a Vista 401 chromatography data system serially connected to an Apple II microcomputer. The Vista 401 performs data acquisition and allows data storage and automations capability while all SEC data processing is performed on the Apple II by means of user-interactive GPC software for automated, on-line calibration and polymer analysis. 

Initial studies on PU1478 materials showed effects on physical properties of plaque thickness and System Index used during RIM processing. Typical tensile stress-strain data are given in the first 4 columns of Table III. Increases, particularly in modulus, elongation... 

An important factor in the progress of bioinformatics has been the constant increase in computer speed and memory capacity of desktop computers and the increasing sophistication of data processing techniques. The computation power of common personal computers has increased within 12 years approximately 100-fold in processor speed, 250-fold in RAM memory space and 500-fold or more in hard disk space, while the price has nearly halved. This enables acquisition, transformation, visuahsation and interpretation of large amounts of data at a fraction of the cost compared to 12 years ago. Presently, bioanalytical databases are also growing quickly in size and many databases are directly accessible via the Internet One of the first chemical databases to be placed on the Internet was the Brookha-ven protein data bank, which contains very valuable three-dimensional structural data of proteins. The primary resource for proteomics is the ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) database, which is dedicated to the analysis of protein sequences and structures and contains a rapidly growing index of 2D-gel electrophoresis maps. Some primary biomolecular database resources compiled from spectroscopic data are given in Tab. 14.1. 

The CIS Inquiry subsystem was designed to be totally Integrated Into the processing system and to use state of the art techniques to allow users to regain the "feel" for the file lost In the previous batch system while retaining the flexibility and accuracy that Iterative (atom by atom) searching of a detailed connection table allowed. The system developed uses data extracted from the structural and non-structural data files and Indexes It In such a way that on-line. Interactive searching from a remote terminal Is practical.
