Databases nuclear information

Mossbauer Information Exchange (MIX) is a project of the KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Budapest, Hungary. It includes an e-mail list, archives of programs and other documents, databases, current information and relevant links, all accessible through their world wide web site (http //www.kfki.hu/ mixhp/). 

JANIS JAva-based Nuclear Information Service — nuclear data database. (See Appendix A.)... 

Specinfo, from Chemical Concepts, is a factual database information system for spectroscopic data with more than 660000 digital spectra of 150000 associated structures [24], The database covers nuclear magnetic resonance spectra ( H-, C-, N-, O-, F-, P-NMR), infrared spectra (IR), and mass spectra (MS). In addition, experimental conditions (instrument, solvent, temperature), coupling constants, relaxation time, and bibliographic data are included. The data is cross-linked to CAS Registry, Beilstein, and NUMERIGUIDE. 

The nuclear equipment failure rate database has not changed markedly since the RSS and chemical process data contains information for non-chemical process equipment in a more benign environment. Uncertainty in the database results from the statistical sample, heterogeneity, incompleteness, and unrepresentative environment, operation, and maintenance. Some PSA.s use extensive studies of plant-specific data to augment the generic database by Bayesian methods and others do not. No standard guidance is available for when to use which and the improvement in accuracy that is achieved thereby. Improvements in the database and in the treatment of data requires, uhstaiui.il indu.sinal support but it is expensive. 

The external events PSA was based on standard methods used for commercial reactor PSAs, Fire risk was estimated from commercial nuclear power plant data combined with industrial fire information. The seismic hazard was evaluated using a combination of the EPRI and LLNL ( UREG/CR-.3250) databases. Wind hazards were analyzed by EQE, Inc., using NRC-based nicihodulogy. 

The centerfold presents the NNDC home page on the web (www.nndc.bnl.gov). The greatly expanded NNDC web service offers a wealth of Nuclear Physics information which includes analysis programs, reference data, and custom-tailored retrievals from its many databases.

In fact, a tremendous amount of information is available on the structures of biological macromolecules descriptions of structures of proteins and nucleic acids make up major portions of modern textbooks in biochemistry and molecular biology. The Protein Data Bank and the Nucleic Acid Database are online archives that contain sequence and structural data on thousands of specific molecules and complexes of molecules. This structural information comes from in vitro experiments, with structures inferred from the x-ray diffraction patterns of crystallized molecules, spectroscopic measurements using multi-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, and a host of other methodologies.

At present several information databases are maintained in the Far East Russia addressing radioecological status of all nuclear- and radiation-hazardous objects, their technical condition and radiation potential. Information is put at disposal of local, regional and federal authorities and the existing branch-wise crisis centers. According to the established procedure, appropriate information is transmitted to public organizations and mass media. 

From the analysis of the data in the LIPID AT database (41), more than 150 different methods and method modifications have been used to collect data related to the lipid phase transitions. Almost 90% of the data is accounted for by less than 10 methods. Differential scaiming calorimetry strongly dominates the field with two thirds of all phase transition records. From the other experimental techniques, various fluorescent methods account for 10% of the information records. X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Raman spectroscopy, electron spin resonance (ESR), infrared (IR) spectroscopy, and polarizing microscopy each contribute to about or less than 2-3% of the phase transition data records in the database. Especially useful in gaining insight into the mechanism and kinetics of lipid phase transitions has been time-resolved synchrotron X-ray diffraction (62,78-81).
