Scientific document

The purpose of the abstract is to inform, to give away the punch line right at the start, and to let your readers decide whether they want to read the full document. Scientific writing is not like mystery writing in which the results are hidden until the end. 

Fish oil has been one of the hottest topics in general nutrition and health care over the past few years, mainly because it is primarily composed of - fatty acids. The benefits of fish oil have a strong foundation in well-documented scientific studies, the most important ones dealing with the treatment of heart disease. Treatment of any condition associated with essential fatty acid changes inevitably involves the use of fish oil or more specific mixtures of the primary important essential fatty acids [14]. 

The likelihood of acute toxicity from drugs or tlieir metabolites in edible animal products is extremely low, a fact confirmed by the lack of documented scientific reports in the pertinent literature (22, 23). This lack can be best exemplified in two cases of premature thelarche outbreaks Tlie first of these outbreaks of breast development before the age of 8 years occurred in children attending an Italian... 

In the case of the silicone breast implant a claim was brought up that it effects the human immune system to cause a whole variety of connective tissues disorders. In fact, all documented scientific investigations, including several recent results from well recognized investigators, continue to show that there is no association between silicone and either typical or atypical tissue disease [14, 15]. 

Sponsors typically publish the results of important clinical trials in clinical communications in medical journals, and present the results at scientific conferences. As for the preparation of regulatory documentation, scientific communications depend heavily on the discipline of Statistics. Piantadosi (2005) made the following comment about publishing clinical communications ... 

Documented scientific evidence justifies some of the antirheumatic, antiseptic and astringent properties, but no clinical data are available. An antiulcer activity has been found in aqueous extracts, with the greatest activity in flowers. Some bacteriostatic activity is also found. 

Finally, in 1996, a start-up pharmaceutical company sought a specialist through a terse want-ad offering no more information than what follows in the next two sentences. The successful applicant s duties were to help publish or document scientific research. Discharging them required a Ph.D. in chemistry or biochemistry but no laboratory work. To understand some jobs, you have to ask about them. 

ChemText, in this example, has been used to create a document utilizing images and data that already exist in ChemBase. ChemText provides features common to chemical documents scientific, foreign and mathematical fonts, italics, boldface, sub- and super-scripts, and general graphic sketch features, allowing the chemist flexibility in document creation. 

Although food manufacturers have the freedom to innovate, they must also avoid marketing products with questionable effects. One common problem is that the biologically active ingredients in functional foods are often present in insufficient doses to give the desired beneficial effects. The raw materials are often costly, and this means that only small amounts are generally used in functional foods (Ernst, 2001). Food manufacturers must clearly demonstrate that new carotenoid-rich food products are safe for their intended use - and also that any health claims are substantiated by well-documented scientific evidence. 

INPADOC (International Patent Documentation Center) is the most comprehensive tttbliographic database of scientific and technological patent documents in the world. The stock encompasses more than 26 miUion patent documents, more than 59 miUion legal status data, and about 10 million patent famihes (January, 2003). The database contains more than 35 milhon patent citations from 71 patent-issuing organizations (European Patent Office, World Intellectual Property Organization (WlPO)) and is updated weekly with about 40 000 new citations. 

INPADOC is the most comprehensive bibliographic database of scientific and technological patent documents. 

The scientific area is often characterized by a highly fluctuating and international workforce. This makes it necessary to document the source code and to represent e. g. the class structure in order to introduce new staff to the system easily. Conversely, non-existent documentation may lead to the necessity of reimplementation. 

The HyperChem philosophy associated with back end computations is one which is in tended to in still eon fiden ce. as far as is possible. in the scientific results emanating from HyperChem. This ph ilosoph y is on e of open n ess — open n ess aboii t the prod net. the calculations being performed, the science embodied in the product, etc. Apart from protecting the proprietary code associated with a commercial product. Hypercube wushes to document and describe as fully as is possible tb e calculation s th at HypcrCb cm performs. There should be no mystery about the scientific results obtained with HyperChem. 

Early scientific studies were ptedominandy aimed at objects often referred to as belonging to the fine arts. Subsequendy, equal importance and effort has been attached to studies of objects of cultural and historical interest, such as archaeological and ethnographic materials, or manuscripts, documents, photographs, and books in archives andUbraries. This article is meant to be inclusive of all such objects as well as of fine arts objects. The term art object when used is an inclusive, generic connotation rather than an exclusive one. 

The use of fragrant substances has been continuous, and the use of Hpids or emoUients for anointing is fully documented in historical writings. However, it is probably not justifiable to identify the recipes passed on from antiquity as cosmetics. The compositions based on folklore and mysticism were replaced by more scientifically acceptable products beginning about 1875. The first edition of a handbook of cosmetic chemistry pubHshed in 1920 included a foreword noting that scientific cosmetic chemistry did not exist prior to that pubHcation (1). A few years later, texts on cosmetic chemistry and other formularies became available (2). 

The largest storehouse of personal origin documents of outstanding scientists of Ukraine (about 350 funds, including more than 40 - scientists-chemists) is the Archivist Institute of National librar y of Ukraine. Among them the ar chival fund of academician of Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Anatoly Kirillovich Babko, the honored worker of a science, professor, founder of the Kyiv school of chemists-analysts. He is the author of 420 scientific works and several monographs and textbooks.

Shock-compression science, which has developed and matured since its inception in 1955. has never before been documented in book form. Over this period, shock-compression research has provided numerous major contributions to scientific and industrial technology. As a result, our knowledge of geophysics, planetary physics, and astrophysics has substantially improved, and shock processes have become standard industrial methods in materials synthesis and processing. Characterizations of shock-compressed matter have been broadened and enriched with involvements of the fields of physics, electrical engineering, solid mechanics, metallurgy, geophysics, and materials science...

This is only one of some very promising potential non-synthetic applications of ionic liquids that have emerged recently. Many others - some more, some less fully documented in patent or scientific literature - have been published. Table 9-1 gives a few examples, showing that most of the non-synthetic applications of ionic liquids can be grouped into three areas. Electrochemical applications benefit from the wide electrochemical window of ionic liquids and/or from the distinct variation of con-...
