Internet access

EinaHy, there is great value in providing access to contemporary and archived technical journals and trade magazines to technical service professionals. This can be achieved in a number of ways, whether by generation of an in-house Hbrary, use of nearby university or governmental faciHties, support of individual subscriptions, or some combination of the above. Internet access to on-line journals is also valuable. 

Online Connections. One highly reHable telecommunications network is DIALNET, offered by DIALOG. DIALNET offers dial-up access from over 50 principal U.S. cities at 300, 1200, 2400, and higher baud rates to 9600. Other networks for users in the United States and Canada include SprintNet or TYMNET networks. INWATS and INTERNET access is also available. In other countries, timeshare telecommunications access is available through the local PTT rates vary from country to country. Access is also available through services such as TWX, international telex, outward WATS or ETS for these services, the user bears the communication charges directly (4). 

Dedicated web sites have been developed for randomizing subjects over the Internet. Internet-based systems have also been widely used for subject enrollment and randomization. Some of these systems employ dynamic randomization number allocation [49, 50], whereas others use pregenerated randomization numbers. Various issues must be addressed when using the Internet for randomization, such as the availability of Internet access and the need for a backup system to ensure the continuation of operation when the web site is inaccessible [51]. 

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... 

Peptide microsequencing has proved to be a powerful approach to identify protein components of mixtures,53-55,61 and has been applied to extracted proteins as a method to identify biological threats.56,83-85 Commercial and internet accessible search engines and databases provide adequate bioinformatics support to use sequence information produced by the mass spectrometer (e.g., http //www.matrixscience.com http //prospector.ucsf.edu/ ucsfhtml4.0/mstagfd.htm http //prowl.rockefeller.edu/). 

The kitchen of the future will have a computer or internet access - perhaps with a large display on the freezer. It will come up with recipes and suggestions on how to use the ingredients stored in the fridge and adapt the suggestions to... 

Interfaces may also be very useful in machine repair. The service technician can obtain detailed information about the machine status via an appropriate diagnostic program and then carry out the repair. This can be done through direct contact, e.g. with electrical or infrared interfaces, or in a remote way via internet access. 

Mazda and others have been working on advanced safety vehicles with monitor screens to show rear and side views, voice-interactive navigation systems and collision avoidance technology. The Ford 24.7 concept car had a computer console in the dashboard with Internet access that is voice-activated. 

Like applying for a library card, it is a good idea to gain access to an Internet facility or site, particularly if you don t have a computer or Internet access at home. Again, many public libraries and institutions will allow you to use the Internet and computers at no extra cost. This is also usually the case with imiver-sity libraries, especially if you explain that you are researching a topic and would like to use their Internet search engines for academic reasons. Later in the book, there will be a chapter on how to use the Internet and which sites provide what kind of information. For the moment, however, it is a good idea to find a... 

The methodological information, which is provided in the ECETOC sourcebook (ECETOC 2001), is not found in the ExpoFacts database. Therefore ExpoFacts does not replace the ECETOC sourcebook, but adds new information and Internet accessibility. 

At SGX-CAT, beam alignment is accomplished automatically. A two-stage process first maximizes the intensity of the beam exiting the monochromator. Combined motions of the robot and the monochromator are then used to place the X-ray beam directly at the sample position. In addition, critical components, including the operational parameters of the cryostream, the sample robot, and the X-ray intensity monitor are continually assessed. If any drift out of their allowed tolerance is detected, a beamline staff member is automatically notified through a paging system. Necessary adjustments can then be performed, in many cases via remote internet access to the beamline control system.

If you don t already own a computer that has Internet access, ask a friend if you can use one of theirs. You can also visit the computer center at your school, obtain access to the Internet at most public libraries, or visit an Internet cafe. For a lot less money than it would cost to purchase a computer, you can purchase WebTV or another set-top box that connects to your television set and telephone line to provide you with dial-up access. 

In this type of situation, it s appropriate to be obvious about your job-search efforts and tap your networking skills to discover new employment opportunities. This may include contacting clients or customers, suppliers, or distributors with which your employer works, or anyone else outside your company you ve had business dealings with as an employee. If given permission by the employer, it s also acceptable to take advantage of your employer s in-house resources, such as Internet access. 

Especially if you re trying to keep your job-search efforts a secret, it is not acceptable to use your company s computers or Internet access to create your resume or surf the Web in search of new jobs, especially during normal business hours. Whether or not the computer you use at work is connected to a network, your activities can easily and legally be monitored by an employer, and your job-search efforts may easily be discovered.

Although not yet available, it is likely that Web-based performance testing systems will become available in the near future. Web-based systems will permit selected tasks to be presented on computers equipped with appropriate Web browser software. Hardware requirements include Internet access and appropriate memory and software to support Web-based applications. Depending on the design of the Web-based system, it is could be possible to tailor the specific tasks presented for the performance testing system from a menu of options. Alternatively, testing systems consisting of a standardized array of tasks can also be chosen. As such, the start-up costs of Web-based systems should be lower than with personal or handheld computer systems. Subject identification, date, and time can be recorded at the start of a test, and data from multiple subjects and test occasions can be stored in a central file for easy access to the data.
