The effort to clarify and articulate the principles of spectrometry as simply as possible appears to have struck a welcome response among those who use mass spectrometers. The original series was not advertised, but, once it had been discovered outside the Micromass organization, there were inquiries as to how it could be purchased. From the start. Micromass offered the series free in a ring-binder format and later also provided it free on CD ROM and then on the Internet. Updating of the first CD led to over 600 requests for it on the day after its release had been announced on the Internet. Partly because of this response — but mainly because users or potential users frequently like to have a traditional reference book — it was decided to publish the series in this present book form. 

A large amount of information can be provided on a technical service Internet site by means of hyperlinks, ie, cHckable terms or addresses that allow the reader to access multiple layers of information by a simple cHck of a control device. Some companies have provided their entire Hbrary of open Hterature on their products ia the form of material stored within a hypedinked page. The reader can either browse this information directly on the site or download it to their own computer to be read at their convenience. 

The Japanese regulatory authority is the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MHW) and the Pharmaceutical and Medical Safety Bureau (PSMB) is responsible for the promulgation of national and international guidelines in the form of Notifications. Guidelines are available on the Internet web-site of the National Institute of Health and Science (http //www.nihs.go.jp). The MHW has not issued specific guidance on the development of chiral drugs, but has nonetheless responded to the enantiomer-versus-racemate scientific debate. The attitude of the MHW and its advisory body, the Central Pharmaceutical Affairs Council (CPAC) is discussed in two articles by Shindo and Caldwell published in 1991 and 1995 [17, 18]. The latter paper analyzes the results of a survey of the Japanese pharmaceutical industry which sought responses on chirality issues. 

The second type is the WAN (wide area network) installation. In this setup the LIMS take advantage of telecommunication technology to cover a great distance. The setup can also be used to connect disparate LANs together. In this configuration, the LIMS are installed on both the clients and a central server. The third type is the so-called centrally hosted thin client installation . For this setup, system administration is managed at a corporate center, where the LIMS are hosted and distributed via a WAN or the Internet with a virtual private network (VPN). The last and also the newest type is the ASP (Application Service Provision provider)-hosted installation. In this setup, the LIMS are hosted on a centrally managed server form and maintained by third-party specialists. Users access the LIMS with any Internet-connected PC with a standard Web browser. 

Most e-Clinical software consists of integrated suites of applications that support the clinical research process, including various ways of data entry that include in-house data entry, remote data capture, batch data load, and scan forms. These suites enable customers to quickly and easily design studies, capture clinical data, and automate workflow. Some e-clinical software systems are also Internet based. 

The use of drugs as a form of medical treatment in the United States is an enormously complex process. Individuals can purchase medications through numerous outlets. Over-the-counter (OTC) medications can be purchased in pharmacies, grocery stores, supermarkets, convenience stores, via the Internet, and through any number of additional outlets. OTCs are widely used by all age groups. Prescriptions can be purchased through... 

The internet may be used as a form of mail order or purely for advertising. Farms may either maintain individual websites or participate in a directory listing. Costs and providers need to be researched, and it is possible to barter for a website design. Customers like a... 

The initial recording of research ideas and data is most always private and takes the form of laboratory notebooks and database files. The first communication of research data and ideas may or may not be private. Oral and informal written communication occurs between research colleagues and teams. In the era of e-mail and listserves, these initial written communications may also be public in that they exist on the Internet. If there is a financial or proprietary interest in the research, the first communication may be in the form of a patent application. 

More recently, some reports have been picked from the Internet, when two of the three following conditions obtained the editor finds the report credible it represents a hazard not already present in the handbook or the source is authoritative. Information on toxic hazards has been specifically excluded because it is available elsewhere in many well-ordered and readily usable forms. 

What the Panel Member Does not Need to Know. It is generally conceded that your scientific project is very important. A lengthy introduction intended to convince the panel by giving information that is not closely related to the experiment is exhausting, in particular if it tills half of the proposal form. The panel member gets annoyed, if by this procedure important information has been squeezed out. The panel member who is the speaker will probably have to retrieve the missing information from the Internet. The panel member becomes more annoyed if this happens for several proposals in succession. The panel member is happy if he reads a clear and concise proposal. 

Due to the ready accessibility of SH2 domains by molecular biology techniques, numerous experimentally determined 3D structures of SH2 domains derived by X-ray crystallography as well as heteronuclear multidimensional NMR spectroscopy are known today. The current version of the protein structure database, accessible to the scientific community by, e.g., the Internet (http //www.rcsb.org/pdb/) contains around 80 entries of SH2 domain structures and complexes thereof. Today, the SH2 domain structures of Hck [62], Src [63-66], Abl [67], Grb2 [68-71], Syp [72], PLCy [73], Fyn [74], SAP [75], Lck [76,77], the C- and N-terminal SH2 domain ofp85a [78-80], and of the tandem SH2 domains Syk [81,82], ZAP70 [83,84], and SHP-2 [85] are determined. All SH2 domains display a conserved 3D structure as can be expected from multiple sequence alignments (Fig. 4). The common structural fold consists of a central three-stranded antiparallel ft sheet that is occasionally extended by one to three additional short strands (Fig. 5). This central ft sheet forms the spine of the domain which is flanked on both sides by regular a helices [49, 50,60]. 

Individual surveys are usually published as GSC Open Files, which can be downloaded over the Internet at no cost. Most Open Files include maps of the analytical data, and raw data in the form of a spreadsheet. The maps are typically presented using proportional dot symbology (Bjorklund Gustavsson 1987), but other approaches, such as contouring, are sometimes used. 

The files are compressed on the CD in the same form as they are available on the Internet. Information on registering MADONNA is contained in the files. Registration is optional since all the examples in the book can be run with the unregistered version. Registration makes available a detailed manual and is necessary for anyone who wants to develop his or her own programs.
