Inverted lists

Spectra and chemical structure searches are based on distance and similarity measures as introduced in Section 5.2. Different strategies are known sequential search, search based on inverted lists, and hierarchical search trees. The strategies are explained for search of spectra. 

With this method, selected data keys are defined and the data are arranged in new files that contain the information on the individual data sets. Consider an inverted list for a spectral library in the IR range (Figure 7.6). The key consists here of the numbered spectral features, that is, in this example, the wavenumbers representing absorption maxima. 

Problems may arise if the lengths of the inverted lists differ. This may be because certain wavenumbers are more typical than others or certain chemical structures appear more often, for example, -C-C- is more frequent than -C=C-. The solution to this problem is the appHcation of Hash coding algorithms the key is coded by a random number that is then stored in a random access file.

Two other advanced structures, inverted lists and doubly linked trees, enable more efficiency in executing certain kinds of algorithms by using more pointers. Inverted organization takes one table, such as Table I, into many. The added pointers make data structure elements correspond to the subtables. 

The second stage is to conduct a computer search of an appropriate database or library, for example of drugs, to test for an exact match or to compile an inverted list (Topic H4). 

Searching spectral libraries may involve the use of inverted lists. These consist of each characteristic absorption band or emission line along with a list of corresponding numbered library spectra that include that particular band or line. A list for the spectrum of an unknown analyte can then be rapidly checked against the library lists. An example of part of an inverted list for an infrared spectral library is shown in Figure 1. It includes spectrum No. 66 among those listed with an absorbance band at 1220 cm and spectrum No. 105 among those listed with an absorbance band at 2730 cm . ...

Cross Reference file. The connection table in the Registry Structure file is accessed for a given NSC Number by the IRN present in the NSC record of the Cross Reference file. The name and address and other control information for a given supplier in the Miscellaneous file is accessed by the supplier code in the NSC record for a given compound. The NSC Numbers of all the compounds scheduled for shipment on a specific Material Shipping List (MSL) is accessed for a specific carton of samples by the MSL number in the MSL record in the Miscellaneous file. As will be described later, the INQUIRY subsystem uses the search Indexes and Inverted lists to be lead to NSC Numbers and their associated data in response to full structure or substructure searches. (See Table 2 for the size and growth rate of the DR D CIS files.)...

The best way to convince ourselves that this rather convoluted technique works well is to build a synthetic example that we invert in a second stage. We use four elements (m = 4, elj to el4), five lavas (s = 5) for which we assume the melt fraction and residual mineral abundances listed in Table 9.2, and two non-sterile residual minerals (Mini and Min2) whose partition coefficients are listed in Table 9.3. The assumed source composition is listed in Table 9.3 which also shows the assumed bulk solid-liquid partition coefficients for each lava.

UL 1741 Underwriters Laboratory 1741 is a standard for the testing, listing and safety certification for electric inverters. This standard is for static inverters and charge controllers for use in photovoltaic power systems, but may be used for fuel cells. 

The most important feature of the reference spectrum data base is the provision to generate and store inverted data (data that are presorted on various secondary elements of the record). The data present in the spectrum data base may be inverted upon any specified characteristic, such as m/z value, and then be retrieved using that characteristic. For instance, a data file inverted about the daughter m/z value will contain, for each m/z value, a list of pointers to the reference daughter spectra that have a peak at that... 

Unifying disparate information sources into a single data model is an intrinsically difficult process. Even when the same kinds of information are collected in different places, it is done so for different reasons, which are reflected in data organization. A common example is extraction of information from scientific literature, where the goal is to make a collection of a particular kind of data. Since the origins of the data are research papers, such efforts often result in document databases where the article is the primary entity and the content is represented by various attributes (e.g., lists of referenced molecules). However, a document-oriented database is rarely suitable for the specific requirements of most scientific investigations. Such efforts often invert ... 

If the first part mentions the product name then this is the most prominent display of the brand name and the non-proprietary name of the medicine or a list of the active ingredients using approved names where such exist must appear immediately adjacent to the most prominent display of the brand name. The size must be such that the information is easily readable. If the product is one that is required to show an inverted black triangle on its promotional material then the black triangle symbol should also appear adjacent to the product name. That is not, however, a requirement of the code (see supplementary information to Clause 4.3). The requirement of Clause 10 that promotional material and activities should not be disguised should also be borne in mind. 

Authors are almost always listed in inverted form last name, first initial, middle initial, and qualifiers (e.g., Jr., II).
