E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. 

Since we follow an analytical, quantitative, and open-source computational approach, our pharmaceutical product/process and project management method and software toolset are implemented as (Internet browser readable) MS-Excel spreadsheets, integrated with several hyperlinks to the rule base and to optional 2D video and 3D virtual-reality objects for visualization. 

Finding a specific company s website is as easy as using any Internet search engine. Type in the company s name as your search phrase. You can also use a bit of common sense, because many company websites tend to be obvious—www.companyname.com. If, when using your Internet browser, you simply insert the company name, more often than not, you come across the company website for which you re looking.

Web site developers should consider the possibility that features visible with some Internet browsers may not always be visible if another browser is used. This can be difficult to fully scope during testing because it is unrealistic to expect testing to encompass all of the Web browsers that are known to be available within the marketplace. It is suggested that the most practicable approach that could be taken would be to ... 

Another major impetus for open-source software came in 1991, when Linus Torvalds publicly released his first version of an open-source version of the Unix operating system (now called Linux). In 1998, the Open-Source Initiative (OSI) was formed, stimulated by the announced public distribution of the formerly proprietary Netscape Internet browser. 

The UCSC Genome Browser can be accessed by any Internet browser that supports JavaScript, running on a computer with access to the Internet. 

Open the UCSC Genome Bioinformatics homepage (http //genome.ucsc.edu) in an Internet browser. This page offers links to a wide variety of genome-browsing tools and information (see Note 1). 

The Table Browser supports the same list of position search terms supported in the Genome Browser. Use caution when querying large regions the Internet browser session may time out. In this situation, subdivide the query into smaller regions and combine the data results. 

Web-tool accessibility. The FOOTER web tool is available over the web at http //biodev.hgen.pitt.edu/Footer/. Although it works with virtually any web browser, the application has been optimized for Firefox vl.0.7. Internet browsers are freely available for download from http //www.mozilla.com/firefox/ (Firefox), http //browser.netscape.com (Netscape), and http //www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/ (Microsoft Internet Explorer). 

The term markup comes from the notion of marking proofs of books, papers, and articles for printing and publication, typically as an editor s way of coding elements that call for special treatment by the typesetter. For example, a pencil might be used to show that a certain part of a mathematical equation, or a reference note, should have been a superscript, as in example superscript jn HTML, this is conveyed by example but displayed as example superscript by internet browser software such as Windows Explorer. The effect of XML is that when converted to HTML, coded data can be easily displayed and in a readable manner. 

URL (Uniform Resource Locator). The system used for specifying addresses on the Internet. Each individual file or page has its own URL, which is located on the address bar at the top of your Internet browser window. Be sure to type the information in a URL carefully so your browser knows where to go. 

Descriptions of the simplest data structure entities and explanations of their nature follow in succeeding sections. Basic data structures are stack, queue, and other linear lists multiple-dimension arrays (recursive) lists and trees (including forests and binary trees). Pointer or link simply means computer data constituting a memory location. Level indicates position in a structure that is hierarchical. Link, level, and the elementary structures are almost intuitive concepts. They are fairly easily understood by reference to their names or to real-life situations to which they relate. Evolving computer practice has had two effects. First, the impact of the World Wide Web and Internet browsers has acquainted many computer users with two basic ideas link (pointer) and level. Second, computer specialists have increased their use of advanced data structures. These may be understandable from their names or descriptive properties. Some of these terms are tries, quad-trees (quadtrees, quaternary trees), leftist-trees, 2-3 trees, binary search trees, and heap. While they are less common data structures and unlikely to be part of a first course in the field, they enable algorithmic procedures in applications such as image transmission, geographic data, and library search. 

Explosive development of computer networks, the World Wide Web, and Internet browsers means that many technical terms discussed in this article will join links, pointers, and hierarchy in becoming common terms, not solely the province of computer experts using data structures. 

The references which follow are unlike the normal journal citations in that they are Internet addresses. These simply represent sites which provide, free of charge, access to a very large number of MSDS. To access almost any manufacturers MSDSs and commercial providers of MSDSs, one can enter use any Internet browser, access a search engine, and Type Material + Safety + Data + Sheet, or MSDS and one wiU receive many pages of Internet links to which to go. The following two references are simply two of the most comprehensive. 

Some of the most popular Internet browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc. 

In addition to learning about operating systems, commands to handle files, use of Internet browsers to search the right information from a volume of data from public resources, there is a need to learn a bit of programming to accomplish simple, routine tasks required in chemoinformatics. 

Traditional ERP providers are also getting involved in this market. For example, Baan (www.Baan.com) came up with iBaan Portal to provide end-users with access through standard internet browsers, to all company information sources, whether it is stored in disparate data sources, behind different web addresses or within different applications, folders, documents, or messages. ... 

Data Management and Visualization all data collected from the calculations is then again processed to condense repeated or reusable results. These results are then compared with existing ones feeding a results history data base. All results are then presented in a web-based interface, independent of platform or operation system, where all results can be viewed on an open-source format through an open-source web plug-in in any Internet browser. 

This is again a HL7 compatible interface destined to connect the WEB servers with the RIS. A special WEB application running inside an internet browser can receive the information from the RIS through the WEB server. Also, through this application one can inquire for a new investigation for a patient, find out available time slots in the centers schedule, and in the same time check the status of a selected procedure. 

A client/server application that is able to run inside an internet browser allows the users to access information from the imaging center like patients, procedures, reports, images associated to certain procedures. 

Mosaic (Marc Andreessen) Andreessen launches Mosaic, followed by Netscape Navigator in 1995—the first Internet browsers. Both Mosaic and Netscape allow novices to browse the World Wide Web.
