Given the enormous number of resources for chemical information available, many researchers do not have the time to learn the details of the variotis systems, and they end up searching in only a few resources with which they are familiar. This is a dangerous approach Knowing that both fee and non-fee resources are available on the Internet and both hold the desired information, it is prudent to search non-fee systems first and then use proprietary databases to fill data gaps [49].

You should read Technical Support Note TS-230 Dealing with Numeric Representation Error in SAS Applications to learn more about SAS floating-point numbers and storage precision in SAS. Another good resource for rounding issues is Ron Cody s SAS Functions by Example (SAS Press, 2004). In short, whenever you perform comparisons on numbers that are not integers, you should consider using the ROUND function.

Throughout this book, we will list resources for further reading at the end of each chapter. You should think of these lists as pointers to help you learn about topics we have mentioned or simplified in a detailed way. We have made no attempt to make these lists exhaustive in any sense (to understand why, find out how many textbooks exist dealing with quantum mechanics in some form or another). 

Resources for learning about the wide range of quantum chemistry calculation methods that go beyond DFT include ... 

An excellent resource for learning about efficient numerical methods for optimization (and many other problems) is W. H. Press, S. A. Teukolsky, W. T. Vetterling, and B. P. Flannery, Numerical Recipes in C++ The Art of Scientific Computing, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 2002. Multiple editions of this book are available with equivalent information in other computing languages. 

Do some networking. The best resources for learning about a career as a firefighter are people now working in the field. Start with your family and friends and then move on from there —you are bound to find someone who knows or who can lead you to fire service professionals. Ask them questions. Get some pointers. Find out what it s really like to be a firefighter from people who have first-hand knowledge. 

It is often difficult for patients to learn about opportunities to participate in clinical trials. Doctors and patient advocacy groups can be valuable resources for patients in search of clinical trial information. Newspapers, particularly in large cities, often carry clinical trial recruitment advertisements. A call to the relevant department at nearby university medical centers can lead to information about clinical trials currently recruiting patients. 

Water IS a vital resource for industry and agriculture, as well as for domestic use. The ever-increasing demands for water are outstripping the supply in many places where abundant water was once taken for granted. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to recycle water whenever possible, to ensure that water returned to rivers or lakes is fit for reuse by someone else (as well as safe for aquatic life), and to learn how to make use of impure but abundant resources such as brackish water or even seawater.1-11 The value of the water treatment market has been estimated at 30 billion annually, worldwide.
