Navigational tools

Current computerized analyses of adverse events still typically consist of a vast number of discrete, often personal, ad hoc processes that mimic paper and pencil methods. Some commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software tools (e.g., Adobe Acrobat , Microsoft Word , Excel ) do have the capability to search for specihc terms in electronic documents/case reports and do have navigational tools with hyperlinks and fullfull-text indexing that enable researchers to create their own hyperlinks. Some other COTS software tools (e.g., SAS , Excel , Access , IMP ) allow importation of electronic case report tabulations (ECRT) for more detailed analysis. 

A table of contents should accompany all submissions and specify the volume and page number for each item included. This is a critical navigation tool to orient the reviewer to the information provided in the application.

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Located at the National Library of Medicine in Bethesda, MD, USA. The home of the GenBank DNA sequence database PubMed literature search engine sequence search tools (e.g., PSI-BLAST) genomic sequence navigation tools. A substantial repository of resources in all areas of bioinformatics. 

The tree view serves then as a primary navigation tool for accessing all files stored in the workspace database. It displays a tree of currently opened records in a style just like in conventional explorers, where folders can be collapsed or expanded and files can be moved and copied. In addition, the file tree contains specific popup menus to enable fast access to folder- and file-related operations. 

Class IV UV cutting laser for rapid outlining and removal of large areas of tissue (see Table 1), or (3) UV laser for ablation, by photo volatilization, of unwanted or contaminating tissue (see Note 17). The software navigation tools are similar to the AutoPix therefore, only the UV cutting laser procedure will be described in detail for the Veritas instrument. 

For a desynchronized and now numeric transfer of expertise, the degradation of knowledge in data necessitates new navigation tools to correct the lack of context for interpretation. The multiuser approach of collaborative platforms or networks requires a common language between experts, to confirm relevance, authority, and confidence in resources and the information therein. These terms can be defined as follows ... 

These concepts should help users to assess in real time the vahdity of the observed knowledge network. The use of these terms appears progressively in different tools. The following list is composed of similar language-synchronization and document-navigation tools illustrating the evolution of indexing tools towards a naturally valid and dynamic system ... 

For example, if a company uses a substance supplied by a European Union (EU) manufacturer, it is a downstream user(s) (DU). If the same company also imports the same or any other substance, it is an importer at the same time. To help identify your position in the supply chain the roles and responsibilities can be identified using the web-based navigation tool from the European Chemicals Agency [1]. Remember the obligations could vary each actor can have several roles. 

Peihaps the best established problem is navigation through the hypeitext. Hypeitext documents often contain thousands of nodes, each with multiple links to other nodes. It is easy for users to get lost in that morass of information. Users become disoriented, unaware of the route they took or of how to find their way out of the hypertext. What navigational tools or guidance should be provided to the user ... 

Marine navigation tools are necessary to ensure safe and efficient marine transportation and commerce, offshore engineering projects, naval operations, and recreational activities. The Office of Coast Survey (OCS), which is part of NOAA s National Ocean Service (NOS), is responsible for providing tools such as nautical charts and hydrographic surveys. 

The central organizing structure for the Reference Module is a Subject Hierarchy on ScienceDirect that is used to provide context for each article and to provide a navigational tool for users to explore the subject area. The subject hierarchy is determined by the expert Editorial Board and technically checked by Elsevier Taxonomists.
