Searching End-User

That there was a change in attitude by R D management toward this first approach to end user chemist searching was due in no small part to their investment in the decision. But success required more than approval from above, more than a graphics database, and more than a user-friendly system. What still needed to happen was the proliferation of graphics terminals before end user searching could become practical. 

It depended on a needed 2-D structure database and user-friendly system, on the approval of R D management for end user searching, on cheap, multi-purpose graphics terminals, on user involvement and training, and on the chemists cultivating the habit of using a computer terminal. 

This book contains the experimental BDE data of 2700 bonds in 2400 organic compounds. It is tire first comprehensive book on experimental BDE data. It is very helpful to end users searching for BDE data. 

End user search simple online searches, which are not processed by an online specialist, but e.g, by the chemists in the lab themselves,... 

Biocides Reporting Service provides monthly information on biocides and end-user industries through the world. The information searches are tailored to individual business needs and sent to key members of that company. The information is sourced from over 200 worldwide trade journals and covers competitors, customers, industry analysis trends, regulations and patents. 

Finally we hope to see that more validation studies are conducted to compare any new search method with the reference exhaustive search (of course on a smaller validation virtual space of 104-106). Only through this type of rigorous validation studies, one can truly probe the rates of false positives and false negatives as well as the fold increase in search speed. This in turn allows end users to make informed decisions on which search method will be a best match for their specific tasks. 

Some detection methods, such as a physical search, offer a high probability of identifying the presence of an explosive but suffer from being invasive and time-consuming techniques that can also place personnel in harm s way if the explosive is detonated. Other methods result in a somewhat lower probability of detection but are non-invasive and less time-consuming and offer some standoff protection for personnel. The choice of methods is a decision for the end-user and depends on a variety of considerations. These considerations include ... 

PLUSPAT and FAMP AT. Questel-Orbit, Paris. Created by merging INPADOC, several national patent databases, and the EPO s DOCDB database, this version of INPADOC additionally has all of the text and status information abstracts from Questel-Orbit s U.S., French, European, and PCT patent databases. In addition to access through the Questel-Orbit search service, PLUSPAT is the basis of the end-user subscription QPAT service. Available onhne. 

These technological innovations enable the software to (1) migrate to a remote system on demand, (2) dynamically compose its prerequisite and corequisite software, (3) self-adapt to the target runtime environment, and (4) discover the properties of the data to be processed. With these innovations software developers can virtualize the software components, certify them with digital signature, and publish the virtualized software in a shared library, as opposed to installing the software on a designated system. This solution framework allows the end-users to search for the software of their interest in a service-oriented manner and to launch the selected software to a system of choice on demand. 

The fact that packaging requires a searching mind and a disciplined approach to ensure that these many and often simple factors produce a logical and acceptable answer for both the company and the end user (patient). 

These detailed arrangements can help end-users performing a quick search for experimental BDE data. 

One criticism of reaction indexes has been the lack of completeness in the databases of reactions. This criticism is being answered by the introduction of databases such as the ISI Current Chemical Reactions database and the CAS reaction database now under development. As was previously mentioned for structure databases, a single graphical query interface for searching both in-house and external reaction databases would be of great value to the end-user chemist. 

No searches or at most only a few test searches are made during the starting-up period of such a system. When the system is fully operational, the end-user or... 

It is well known that the surface chemical and physical properties play a dominant role in the separation characteristics of a membrane. Most of the currently used membranes are made of polymers because they have excellent bulk physical and chemical properties, they are inexpensive, and are easy to process. However, the surface properties of polymers, their hydrophobicity, and their lack of functional groups stand in the way of many other applications (Chan et al. 1996). So far, various polymers have been used for membrane fabrication. However, due to the limited number of polymeric materials on the market, one cannot expect any significant increase in the variety of the membranes offered. What is more, large-scale production of brand-new polymers has not been commercialized during the last decade, nor is it expected to be launched in the near future. These observations have forced material scientists to search for alternative methods to increase the number and variety of membranes being prepared. There are two directions for new membrane manufacturing (i) to modify a polymer in bulk and then prepare the membrane from it or (ii) to prepare the membrane from a standard polymer and then modify its surface. The first method needs the optimization of the membrane formation for the particular derivative separately. The second seems to be less complicated and less expensive, and it can offer a wide variety of new membranes based on one starting matrix. The authors intention is to present the plasma methods for membrane modification and tailor them based on the end-user requests. 

To ensure complete and up-to-date information, the best approach is to use an on-line commercial service. Most mid-sized and larger semieon-ductor companies will already have an account with a commercial service through the company s information center. Alternatively, with a personal computer, modem, and a four to eight hour introductory course, the end user can perform the searches directly. 

Economy The creation of innovative Internet services has produced massive amounts of wealth and income for some producers. Search engine companies are perhaps the best examples. Terms such as new economy or information economy have been conceived. The main source of financial flows on the Internet is derived from marketing (banners and sponsored links) or end users payments. The global economy is reflected at the local level via online shops (market places), networking (user communities) and virtual contents (products). The Internet has extended the possibilities of immaterial or virtual products and income sources.
