Internet Searches

This same convenience of communication applies to individuals outside the company. A scientist may wish to find an individual with expertise in a given problem area. This can easily be done through Internet searches. One can access publications (in progress) or reports written normally for internal use instantly, which traditionally have not been readily accessible. It has become easy to work with people on a global basis. The Internet removes boundaries in forming collaborative working relationships. It is nearly as easy to work with a person in another country or continent as in an adjacent building. 

Most organizations now have readily accessible websites, and many have been listed in Table 2.2. Obviously, this list could be greatly expanded upon. The sites noted provide information on short courses and workshops, featured articles or topics in their journals, provide direct access to their journals, information on their national or local meetings, employment information, chat rooms (in some cases) and much more. While the sites provided in Table 2.2 list national organizations, local organizations also have sites. These sites tell us what is happening in our local conununity.

You will need to know addresses (http //www.) of the major Internet search engines. But search engines are still not perfected and the results may contain certain amount of noise, i. e, irrelevant information. Some companies use tricky things to get your attention we found many NDT related words like TOFD hidden as meta keywords in every page of some websites.

RAPRA free Internet search engine. The number of plastic-related web sites is increasing exponentially, yet searching for relevant information is often laborious and costly. During 1999 RAPRA Technology Ltd., the UK-based plastics and rubber consultancy, launched what is believed to be the first free Internet search engine focused exclusively in the plastics industry. It is called Polymer Search on the Internet (PSI). It is accessible at www.polymersearch.com. Companies involved in any plastic-related activity are invited to submit their web-site address for free inclusion on PSI. RAPRA Technology s USA office is in Charlotte, NC (tel. 704-571-4005).

Simply do an Internet search on SAS to find these Web sites. 

An internet search by the author found several algorithms for generating correlated coordinates having a specified linear correlation coefficient. However, none of the sites addressed the spaces considered here or discussed the theory of coordinate generation. 

Some Internet search sites that I have found particularly useful include the National Center for Biotechnology information (NCBI) Entrez cross-database search page (http //www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov/sites/gquery), which includes PubMed Central containing a limited number of free, full text journal articles. In addition, High Wire Press run by Stanford University also contains many free articles from established journals (http //highwire.stanford.edu/) and is able to search the PubMed database simultaneously.

MSDSs should be available from material suppliers. An Internet search will generally turn up MSDSs for most commercially available hazardous substances, but the above list of limitations, as well as technical and legal liabilities, must be kept in mind. Some companies subscribe to a service that provide MSDSs in a standard format. 

Students who do well on multiple-choice exams are so well prepared that they can easily find the correct answer, but other students do well because they are perceptive enough to identify and avoid the distracters. Much research has been done on how best to study for, and complete, multiple-choice questions. You can find some of this research by using your favorite Internet search engine, but here are a few tips that many chemistry students find useful. 

Interestingly, lO100 is known as a googol, which was the basis for the name of the internet search engine Google after a misspelling occurred.

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.

Not only Viagra is of medical interest allopurinol (ALP) 61, the classical treatment of gout arthritis, is still of interest, and pyrazolopyridazines and thiazolopyridazines have also been shown to be of biological importance. These activities extend beyond an interest in the synthesis and chemistry of these compounds indicated by the large number of patented potential applications. 

The fact that there are tens of thousands of NPs known might seem extremely off-puttingwhen one first approaches NP biosynthesis. All the details and all the facts about the biosynthesis of individual NPs could easily overwhelm those coming to the subject for the first time. Consequently, this chapter avoids as many details as possible (details can be found easily with an internet search) and will try to provide a simple conceptual framework that can be used to see patterns in the details that are provided by others.

Use nitric oxide as a keyword in your Internet search engine to find a plethora of websites devoted to the many roles this small but important molecule plays in our physiology and in various diseases, such as Alzheimer s, Parkinsons, asthma, heart disease, and infections. 

Deriving electrical energy from nuclear fission produces almost no atmospheric pollutants, such as carbon dioxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals, and airborne particulates. Although not discussed in the text, there is also an abundant supply of fuel for nuclear fission reactors in the form of plutonium-239, which can be manufactured from uranium-238. Use the keyword Breeder Reactor on your Internet search engine to learn about how this is so.
