A comprehensive References and Abstracts section, resulting from a search of the Rapra Polymer Library database. The format of the abstracts is outlined in the sample record below. 

The accompanying CD carries a database of more than 5,500 references on which this book is based, but only a fraction of which appear in the text. It is in the form of an EndNote library (2Edtinlib.enl) and of a tagged text file in Refer format (2Edtinlib.txt). 

Keller, H. and U. Erb. 2004. Dictionary of Engineering Materials. New York Wiley. This comprehensive resource covers 25,000 materials and trademarks in the dictionary format, and includes an appendix listing databases, reference materials, and Web sites. Whenever possible, the trademarks list specific ingredient percentages. 

There are vast numbers of infrared reference spectra in collections, databases (digital format) and the literature, which can easily be referred to, whereas this is not the case for Raman. Although much better now, the quantity of reference spectra available for Raman simply does not compare with that for infrared. 

This folder contains three files bnlgener.xls, bnlgener.wql, and referen.txt. The database, bnlgener is an eclectic collection of 1,311 failure rates from 31 references. The database is provided as a spread sheet in the Microsoft Excel 4 format (xls) and in Corel Quatro-Pro format (wql). Tbis information is not provided in ASCII because of format... 

Computer applications allow for defining and managing several important nonclinical data types that are managed by the system itself. Such data are referred to as metadata or control data. These are information such as domain-specific descriptions, application conditions, parameters, and methods in a repository. Control data fields can be part of the data collection forms or in system-defined tables. Some of these control fields include electronic signatures, form status, transmission date, transmission number, field completed, and memo fields (large text format). The database contains tables for reference ranges, visit schedule, form schedule, labels, and drug codes. 

Data collected at each participating site must be stored in a read-only format at that site for future reference. The Institutional Review Board (IRB) at each participating site requires that the site retain its local database after trial closeout. Data retention can be achieved in various ways. However the method should ensure that (1) participating sites are not be able to modify retained data (2) data are presented in a way that allows sites to easily locate any data form for any subject at any trial visit and (3) the site PI is solely responsible for the retained data. 

Ultimately, this section is meant to function as a ready-reference database for learning or review of bioconjugate chemistry. In this regard, a reaction can be quickly found, a short discussion of its properties and use read, and a visual representation of the chemistry of bond formation illustrated. What this section is not meant to be is an exhaustive discussion on the theory or mechanism behind each reaction, nor a review of every application in which each chemical reaction has been used. For particular applications where the chemistries are employed, cross-references are given to other sections in this book or to outside literature sources. 

The ISI web of science at http //www.isinet.com is a multidisciplinary database that provides web access to current and retrospective journal literature. It includes three citation databases Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, and Arts and Humanities Citation Index. The ISI Science Citation Index (SCI ) provides access to current and retrospective bibliographic information, author abstracts, and cited references found in 3500 science and technical journals covering more than 150 disciplines. The Science Citation Index Expanded format available through the ISI Web of Science and the online version, SciSearch, cover more than 5700 journals. 

The DR lines link SWISS-PROT to other biomolecular databases. SWISS-PROT is currently linked to 29 different databases. The preceding example shows links to 19 different entries in 6 different databases. The cross references allow users to navigate to linked databases to retrieve part or all of the related information. The format of a DR line, except for cross references to PROSITE (Hofmann et al., 1999), Pfam (Bateman et al., 1999), and the EMBL nucleotide sequence databases (Stoesser et al., 1999), is the following ... 

The specific format for cross references to the EMBL nucleotide sequence database is ... 

CHEMThermo Automatic Comparison of Thermodynamic Data for Species in Detailed Chemical Kinetic Modeling, Simmie, J. M Rolland, S. and Ryder, E. Int. J. Chem. Kinet. 37(6), 341-345, (2005). CHEMThermo analyses the differences between two thermodynamic databases in CHEMKIN format, calculates the specific heat (Cp), the enthalpy (IP), and the entropy CS °) of a species at any given temperature, and compares the values of Cp, II", S" at three different temperatures, for the species in common.

By far the most widespread use of NMR in an on-line production environment is the utilization of downhole exploration tools by petroleum service companies such as Schlumberger, Halliburton, and Baker Hughes. Articles on these unilateral NMR systems are found in the patent databases, " academic literature, and on-line resources provided by the exploration companies. The references provided here are just a few examples in a very prolific field. The technique is applied in high-temperature and pressure situations and currently is used down to a depth of about 10 km (6 miles) to produce a picture of water/oil content in the adjacent rock formations as well as to derive permeability, diffusivity, and hydrocarbon chemistry information. Mobile unilateral NMR systems such as the NMR-MOUSE are also being developed in order to take benchtop NMR systems into the field to perform analysis of geological core samples at the drill site. NMR analyzers are also being developed to determine the bitumen content and properties in tar sand production and processing. " " ... 

A number of excellent reviews and books have included consideration of the fundamental electron impact ionization process, and the attention afforded the experimental measurement of ionization potentials and Augment ion appearance energies over the years is reflected in the comprehensive database of ionization potentials and gas phase ion enthalpies of formation published through the National Bureau of Standards in printed and electronic forms. In contrast, few absolute ionization cross sections have been measured. The most comprehensive compilation of molecular ionization cross sections are relative values measmed with a modified commercial electron impact mass spectrometer ion source using the cross section for Ar as a reference. ...
