Electronic archiving

Chemical Physics Preprint Database. This database [81] is a fully automated electronic archive and distribution server intended to provide a means for rapid and efficient preprint distribution within the international theoretical chemical physics community. A preprint is a copy of a paper that has been submitted for publication. This database has been designed to be a useful and freely available tool for education and research. It allows investigators to submit and retrieve electronic copies of preprints via the Internet. Access for retrieval and listing of papers in the database is possible through WWW servers, anonymous ftp, or e-mail. Currently research papers are submitted to the databases via e-mail. This project is a joint effort by the Department of Chemistry at Brown University and the Theoretical Chemistry and Molecular Physics Group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The homepage of Chemical Physics Preprint Database is http // www.chem.brown.edu/chem-ph.html. (For a more... 

A useful method of reconstructing potential worker exposure to agents can be to correlate data from records of shift duty, hazardous operations, toxic area entries, and area airborne agent concentrations. These correlations are only practical if the records are electronically archived and centrally searchable. 

Electronic signatures will be used for electronic documents with a limited validity until a good system of trusted electronic archives is built. 

Analysis of phenoxy acid herbicides in drinking water, detection limit 0.01 ig/l, qualitative and quantitative information, electronic archiving of data, 30 samples/day. 

An important part of any electronic archive system is a policy or SOP which will affect the validation effort, including ... 

The periodic review of the data contained within the electronic archive often tends to be overlooked. Organizations must ensure that they monitor the records for signs of deterioration over the record retention period, including the media used for storage, if this is being done electronically. 

Volumes published in LNP are disseminated both in print and in electronic formats, the electronic archive is available at springerlink.com. The series content is indexed, abstracted and referenced by many abstracting and information services, bibliographic networks, subscription agencies, library networks, and consortia. 

Some national offices such as the UK Patent Office (http // www.patent.gov.uk/) have plans to extend the electronic archive with scanned images of British patents these will need to be processed for optical character recognition, in order to make the text within searchable without such processing, the images are not identified by searching methods. 

Related to the issue of informal notes are the potential problems associated with internal correspondence that took place during the course of the hazards analysis itself. Informal communications, particularly e-mails, should be written in anticipation that they may one day be used in an inquiry. Even if an e-mail is erased some copy of it is likely to remain in an electronic archive for a long time, and such copies are legally discoverable. Moreover, e-mails can be easily copied and then inadvertently sent to people not on the original distribution list. 

An instrument qualification will generate documentation that includes at least the following for each test performed the serial number (or ID number) of each component qualified along with pertinent manufacturer documents, chromatograms or other data/information generated in the qualification process, the person(s) who conducted the qualification and the date of each qualification, and a tabulation of the results generated. These should be kept in hard-copy form in a binder that is specific to each instrument. These results, if possible, should also be electronically archived. 

It should be pointed out that C EN is only one forum in which jobs for computational chemists are advertised. International science magazines, magazines of the chemical societies of other nations, electronic archives (such as that maintained at the Ohio Supercomputer Center), and employment agencies are other sources of information about available positions. In addition, personal contacts through professors may be the most common way some universities and companies find and hire new scientists. 

A database is a collection of related facts or data that has been designed, built and populated with data for a specific purpose (Elmasri and Navathe, 1994). We are here concerned with computerised databases on accidents and near accidents. These are electronic archives, containing a record of the essential facts about each unwanted event at the company. The purpose of storing the data electronically rather than in a paper-based archive is to make it easier to retrieve, analyse and present the data. Computer support also offers new possibilities for data analysis and presentation.
