EXPAND command

As the correct spelling is unknown in many cases, have a look at the index using the EXPAND command, where a selection of the requested search terms is possible (Fig. 81). 

However, great care must be taken. The names glycin and glycine do not mean the same. Here, you can also make good use of the EXPAND command, in order to explore the entries surrounding your search term. 

The search begins as a nomenclature search in the Registry File (Fig. 120). The command SELECT CHEM will write all the Registry Numbers and all entries in the Chemical Name (CN) field into a temporary memory. All such entries will receive an E-number, similar to the EXPAND command. 

Names should be retrieved using the EXPAND command. Select file entries with first names and initials. For double-barrelled names the maiden name must be searched too (Fig. 123). 

When further information about a certain item is available in CASREACT (Sect. 7.6), MARPAT (Sect. 7.8) or in the CJO databases (Chemical Journals Online Files), it will be mentioned in the field Other Sources (OS). The EXPAND command will help to find a list of all entries in this field. By using the field Crossover Key (CK), containing CODEN (Sect. 7.3.3.4), volume and page numbers, the search result in CA can be transferred to the desired database. 

If a company has affiliates, their respective entries appear imder the main company s name without further addition. If you search for affiliates of one group, or if you search for smaller companies, use the full name, which can be located by means of the EXPAND command. The patent assignees names are often abbreviated ... 

If you wish to cany out a complete search, you have to ask - along with the code - for all variations of spelling. Here it is wise to use the EXPAND command (Fig. 130). 

The search for chemical compounds is processed as in the Registry File (Sect. 7.1.2). As the field Chemical Name (CN) is phrase-indexed, the entry of the search string must correspond exactly to the occurrence in the file. Preceding the query with the EXPAND command, as demonstrated in Fig. 143, will allow the precise entry to be found.

The fields Named Person (NA) and Company Name (CO) allow one to target individual company names or people. As the names may be written differently, it is again advisable to select the search term from a list generated through an EXPAND command. 

The field Geographic Term (GT) contains the geographic data found in the Abstract (AB) and the Supplementary Terms (ST). As it is phrase-indexed, the entry of the search string must correspond exactly to the occurence in the file. The use of the EXPAND command is again advised. The file does not only mention country names, but also geographic areas like East Africa or economic areas like the OECD. There is a summary of all Geographic Terms employed in the appendix of the database manual The CIN File Database Description. 

When investigating, whether certain data are available related to a certain substance or a substance class, the field Property Hierarchy (PH) can help to provide all relevant names and field acronyms. The easiest way to find out is an EXPAND command (Fig. 152) ... 

Scores are good for quantitative analysis, but don t adequately eonvey a picture of qualitative changes in behavior. And commanders in the field wanted that picture, in order to get a better feef for tiie effects of BZ and other drugs. They needed some verbal descriptions and videotape. We therefore expanded our protocol, including half a dozen additional ways to document the volunteer responses, trying to keep them in a form understandable to non-pharmacologists ... 

Now we are in a position to expand our command of molecules by introducing organic molecules that contain atoms of oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. That forms the substance of the next three chapters. 

The Soldier Biological and Chemical Defense Command (SBCCOM) is located at the Edgewood Arsenal (Aberdeen Proving Gronnd) in rural Maryland, north of Baltimore. The SBCCOM is the Army s principal research and development center for chemical and biological defense technology and has an extensive complement of skilled professionals in this field. This program could easily be expanded for civilian defense needs. 

Chapters 8 through 14 expand on advanced tools. While command of such advanced concepts is indispensable in order to follow, much less to lead, today s developments in biocatalysis, the mastering of such concepts and tools cannot necessarily be expected of all practitioners in the field, especially if their major course of study often did not even touch on such topics. 

The HICS document reflects the same basic principles of command and control, chain of command, predefined positions, established reporting and communication relationships, use of common nomenclature, expandability and contractility of the scale of the operation, and span of control, as did its predecessor HEICS. 

We were most impressed by BASIC 7.0 in the 128 mode. It s the most powerful version of BASIC we ve seen for personal computers, topping even IBM s Advanced BASIC. With Commodore 64 BASIC as its foundation, it combines the best of Simons BASIC, Super Expander, Plus/4, and Disk BASIC 4.0 commands, as well as new commands written especially for the 128. There are over 80 new commands and functions. At the time we visited Commodore, programmers were adding even more commands. And all 128K is available for programming 64K for the length of your BASIC program, and 64K for... 

Released in 1993 to excellent sales (and a lawsuit for patent infringement), DOS 6.0 offered a number of new commands and configurable options. Another enhancement in DOS 6.0 was EMM386.EXE, which allowed the system to pool extended and expanded memory. DOS 6.0 has subsequently been revised a number of times—once (DOS 6.2 to 6.21) because of a court order. Microsoft was found to have violated Stac Electronics patent rights in the creation of the DoubleSpace utility for 6.0 and 6.1, and the only real difference between 6.2 and 6.21 is that DoubleSpace is removed. Never to be denied, Microsoft soon released DOS 6.22 with a disk compression program called DriveSpace.
