Database selection

The default installation of Capture CIS uses a small database named BENCHACC.DBC. We need to change the database to our Digikey database. Select the BfUWSe button ... 

Y. Ralchenko and D. Humbert have developed prototype search engine to carry out the search of a number of remote databases. With this search engine, a user enters a request once only. The request is reformulated by the search engine for each of a number of different database interfaces at different institutions. The requests are sent to databases selected by the user. The search engine gathers the responses from each database and displays the results to the user. Information on each database is available as are links to the databases. 

Figure 13.11. Database comparison histograms to illustrate an optimal diverse database selection (upper panel), a highly redundant database selection (middle panel), and a database selection with loss of information (lower panel). The left column show simplified representations of databases as distribution of molecules (filled circles) in an arbitrary 2D molecular property space. In the middle left column, idealized self-similar histograms are given, while the plots in the middle right column show plots obtained by comparing the database subset to the entire database. The right column refers to plots obtained by comparison to a corporate database. Dotted vertical lines indicate the similarity radius for a particular descriptor.

Figure 12.3 shows the result of searching for the word "aspirin" in Entrez s PubChem Compound database. This default display of multiple records in Entrez is referred to as a document summary (DocSum) report and is common to all Entrez databases. At the top are the common Entrez controls (database selection and search input box) and tabs for other Entrez tools (e.g.. Limits, History, etc.) some of which are described in more detail below. Note that the format of this page evolves over time, but the basic controls remain the same. Moving down the Doc-Sum page, the next section contains controls to change the display type the default is "Summary" (as shown). Each Entrez database has report styles that vary in type and detail of information shown, the overall format is the same—a list of records. 

The secondary databases contain the fruits of analyses of the sequences or structures in the primary sources such as patterns, motifs, functional sites and so on. Many databases known as boutique (specialized) databases select, annotate and recombine data focused on particular topics, and include hnks affording streamlined access to information about subjects of interest. 

Developed at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, class-tested by thousands of students, and used by over 200 institutions and 50,000 students, OWL is a customizable and flexible cross-platform web-based homework system and assessment tool for Introductory, General, Allied Health, Liberal Arts, and Organic chemistry courses. OWL provides students with instant analysis and feedback on homework problems, modeling questions, and animations to accompany select Brooks/Cole chemistry textbooks. With deep parameterization of chemical structures, OWL offers thousands of questions. This powerful system maximizes students learning experience and at the same time, reduces faculty workload and helps facilitate instruction. A fee-based access code is required for access to the specific OWL database selected. OWL is only available for use within North America. 

The third factor originates from assumption related to the database selection criteria, which we use to specify relevant data for the population sampling.
