Information network

Location of and access to chemical and technical information other than journal articles is avadable through computerized information networks. Electronic bulletin board systems (BBS) provide a telecommunications tool to anyone who has a computer and a modem. Questions can be posted and read by thousands of bulletin board users worldwide, and files and software are easdy transferred from virtually anywhere to one s computer.

Assistance following an accident involving ha2ardous chemicals during transport can be obtained 24 h per day from CHEMTREC, which is an industry-supported information network, by telephone at 1-800-424-9300, as of 1995 (see Transportation).

Various information networks such as gene, intercellular, intracellular, sensory, and brain information networks are implemented in biological systems. The information transduction, conduction, and retreaval functions are integrated in these bioinformation networks. Every bioinformation network is totally consisted of organic molecules including protein. A keen interest has been focused on the molecular mechanisms of the information transduction by the biomolecular assemblies because of their excellent selectivity and sensitivity. This chapter concerns protein molecular... 

Molecular communication is the characteristic information system in the bioinformation networks. The endocrine system, which is one of intermolecular information networks, may represent the feature of molecular communication. The gland is a collection of specialized cells that synthesize, store, and release hormones. A hormone, molecular information, is released into the extracellular fluid and transported via the blood to two types of cells target cells where the hormone acts, and other cells that degrade the hormone as schematically presented in Fig.l. In some systems the target cell and the degradation site are in the same organ or even the same cell. Both activities may even be located on the same plasma membrane. The receptor for the hormone is located on the surface of the plasma membrane.

Under section 10 authority, EPA has a Chemical Substances Information Network (CSIN) prototype under test by industry, academia, unions and state government offices. The system is intended to permit easier access to existing data resources. 

Information management by EPA, as mandated under TSCA has centered on the development of CSIN (Chemical Substances Information Network). In response to Section 10(b) this information management system has evolved to retrieve toxicological and other scientific data which could be useful to the Administrator in carrying out the act. After several years and about an equal number of millions of dollars, currently a prototype networking... 

One particular area of this response is the management of information required by TSCA. Monsanto Company s C. Elmer and J.R. Condray itemized these requirements, and reviewed the status and implications of each. Some unanticipated benefits derived from the mandated burden were emphasized. EPA s requirements for information are not yet complete further growth is expected. While EPA s Chemical Substances Information Network (CSIN) is recognized as valid in concept, there is concern that its scope may be expanding that originally envisioned for information submitted to EPA under TSCA. In addition, attention must be given to the identification and maintenance of the reliability level of the information reported, stored and extracted for use under TSCA.

Chemical facilities should investigate what networks and information sources might be available to them locally, and at the state and regional level. If a facility cannot gain access to some information networks, attempts should be made to align with those who can and will provide effective information to the chemical facility on a timely basis. 

The sub-network on the reduction of odours in animal production, was set up as a result of a consultative meeting of interested European states organised by the Swedish Government on behalf of FAO in 1976. The concept of a consultative information network was already well established by FAO by its European System of Co-operative Research Networks (ESCORENA) which commenced in 1973. ESCORENA has sponsored and established ten networks, these range in interest from olive production, pesticide impact on the environment, maize production to animal waste utilisation. 

The consultative information network on Animal Waste Utilisation is maintained by the co-ordinator of the network, Mr P E Lohm, he runs the co-ordination centre at the Swedish Board of Agriculture, Jonkoping. 

This dependence on others for resources created inexorable pressure to go beyond conventional authority lines to create networks and engage supporters. As one EBO leader was recently quoted as saying, We wanted to be Tom Sawyer getting the rest of the company to paint our fence (Deutschman, 2005). If early trials of an EBO concept proved successful, the initial informal networks were followed by more formal structures, often including the reorganization of entire business divisions, as recently occurred in IBM s Life Sciences division. 

CAS Registry Number (CASRN) This unique identifier is assigned by the American Chemical Society to chemicals recorded in the CAS Registry System. This number is used to access various chemical databases including the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), CAS Online, Chemical Substances Information Network, and many others. This entry is also useful to conclusively identify a substance regardless of the assigned name.
