Sequences of the genes/cDNAs can be retrieved from databases on the Internet at various web sites. For example, GeneBank (at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, NCBI) is at http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ Web/Search/index.html. The EMBL Nucleotide Sequence database (through the European Bioinformatic Institute, EBI) can be found at http //www.ebi.ac.uk/queries/queries.html, whilst that of the DNA Data Bank of Japan is at http //www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/. 

Many resources were used to compile the information in this book. The hazardous chemicals listed here are taken from Sittig, 4th Edition. For a few chemicals in Sittig, their makers are not listed, perhaps because they are made in such limited quantities that they are sold through specialty middlemen and catalog houses. The primary resources for preparing the list of manufacturers in this book were (1) the Web sites of the companies, (2) membership in special sections of United States chemical societies, the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) and societies in India, Japan, Asia, Italy and elsewhere, and (3) sites in which companies register themselves as producers of particular products, such as the Thomas Directories in the U.S. and Europe, the American Chemical Society ChemCyclopedia, and the British Chemical Industries Association Chemextra. Direct access to these sites are quickly available to any Internet user. They are listed in Section VII - Hotlines, Databases and Useful Web Sites. 

By making use of the Internet I have searched all over the world for photographs of ceramic composite structures. In the end I received some from Mr K. Yoshida of the Research Laboratory for Nuclear Reactors, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan. These are photographs... 

There has been a rapid proliferation of commercial search interfaces, such as DataStar and STN International. STN may deserve special mention since it is a science information service operated by Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) in North America, Fachinformationszentrum-Karlsruhe (FIZ-K) in Europe, and Japan Association for International Chemical Information (JAICI) in Japan. It is available as online subscriber access to 220 databases (STN Express) and as web access (STN on the Web for experienced searchers and STN Easy for infrequent searchers). See www.cas.org/stn. html and/or www.stn-international.de/. Since Internet search techniques depend on the interface available, no detailed explanations are given here. There are several published guides to database searches for chemical and physical properties, but the situation is evolving rapidly and it is recommended that you consult a reference librarian for information about the current situation concerning search interfaces at the library you use.

There are further resources available for English translations of Japanese patent documents. Paterra, Inc., (http // www.paterra.com) is pleased to present the InstantM D service for Japanese patents on the internet. The InstantM D service retrieves the requested patent by number and rapidly provides a translated version which is rendered for download in a two-column formatted Acrobat PDF file. The system covers all Japanese Kokai (A documents) published after January 1, 1993 and aU granted Japanese patents (Toroku) published since May 27, 1996. New documents are entered into the system within 2 weeks of being published in Japan, hi a related development, Protys (http //www.protys.info/) provides a full text Enghsh database of the latest Japanese patents in a specialty current awareness database. 

Patent Abstracts of Japan (PAJ). JAPIO, Tokyo. English language abstracts of published Japanese patent applications. Widely available as a standalone database on fee-based searches and the Internet and as a resource for Web-based search systems. Most full-text patent search services include Japanese information from PAJ without emphasizing that only a short abstract is searchable. 

The first resources for computer modeling of protein structure are the nucleic acid and protein sequence databases (see Table 6.1), curated by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Europe, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (GenBank at the NCBl) in the United States, and the DNA Database of Japan (DDBJ) in Japan. These databases are accessible via the Internet, and most likely one s own scientific institution maintains a local version, which is updated through CD-ROMs released quarterly. Perhaps the predominant protein sequence database is SWISS-PROT. - Others include the nonredundant protein sequence database (OWL) and the protein identification resource database (PIR). ... 

These are the Proceedings of the 13 Symposium on Bioluminescence and Chemiluminescence held at Pacifico Yokohama, Yokohama, Japan from 2-6 August 2004. This series of symposia started in Brussels in 1978, and a list of the other Proceedings volumes appears at the end of this Preface. As in previous symposia, delegates came from far and wide and in all 18 countries were represented. Communications between delegates and the Organising Secretariat was almost entirely via the Internet and email. In the interest of efficiency and the environment very little printed paperwork was used. Abstracts of presentations were made available on the web site wwwlO.showa-u.ac.iD/ ISBC/index.html.

The Protein Data Bank (PDB) was established as a service to international science at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States in 1971 to store and curate the atomic coordinates of macromo-lecular stmctures. Original versions of the whole data bank were distributed on magnetic tape to scientists, then on compact discs, and now they are freely available via the Internet (http //www.rcsb.org/). The PDB is part of the wwPDB whose mission is to ensure that the PDB archive remains an international resource with uniformly coded data. Other related sites are located in Japan (PDBj, http //www.pdbj.org/) and in Europe (MSD-EBI, http //www.ebi.ac.uk/msd/). In addition to coordinates, the PDB stores experimental diffraction data, and it provides many tools for analyzing and displaying structures. As of April 15, 2008, the PDB held 50,277 sets of atomic coordinates from proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates determined by X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and electron microscopy. About 5000 new stmctures are released each year, and the database is expected to treble to 150,000 by 2014. 

Sources of information are the websites of the Intemalional Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM) and the Japanese Standards Association (JSA) that issues Japan Industrial Standards (JIS) documents. Data from scientific and technical journals and information from materials manufacturers and users available through the internet have also been used. An important source of information on composites testing and materials data are Refs [9—11], which was issued by ASTM, and its revision and extension, which is currentiy prepared by a nonprofit organization (i.e. the Composite Materials Handbook 17 version G) [12].
