PASCAL database

The search of the BIOSIS, CAB Abstracts, and PASCAL databases yielded 444 publications. After scanning titles and abstracts, 73 publications were identified as potentially relevant for our review. We cross-checked these publications with our own databases, and found that our filters did not detect all relevant publications, for example, Stark et al. (2004). We included 19 additional publications from our own databases, ending up with 92 publications. After the detailed evaluation of these publications, 39 publications were selected for our quantitative assessment of the state of the art. One of these publications, Bartell et al. (2003), contained 3 different models, adding up to a number of 41 models evaluated in our review. Overall, we believe that our sample should be representative, although we certainly were not able to detect all publications of the years 2000 to May 2007 that are relevant for our review. 

The Scientific World at http //www.thescientihcworld.com/ offers literature searching through SciBase, a collection of databases of scientific, technical, and medical research literature. SciBase currently covers more than 19 million documents published since 1965 in more than 30,000 journals. SciBase content is derived from databases created by the National Library of Medicine (MEDLINE), the British Library, BIOSIS, and PASCAL, as well as CAB ABSTRACTS. Abstracts are sometimes available free and individual articles are available for purchase. 

Information Retrieval and Reporting. Ad hoc retrieval and reporting of data using Datatrieve and other VAX languages is an important feature of LIMS as it is impossible to foresee all the future requirements for reports. The Database Query Language utility (DBQ) is used to retrieve, update and report data from compiled BASIC, PASCAL or other VAX languages. Data Manipulation Language (DML) is used by FORTRAN to access the data. 

We searched for publications of the years 2000 to May 2007 that included ecological population models for pesticide risk assessment. First, the databases BIOSIS, CAB Abstracts, and PASCAL were searched for papers, including a combination of the following keywords in title, abstract, or keywords (risk assessment) AND (simulation OR model ) AND (population OR ecologS) AND (crop protection product OR pesticide OR insecticide OR fungicide OR herbicide).
