Public domain

TRACS International has provided training and consultancy In Exploration and Production related issues for many clients world-wide since 1992. This book has gradually developed from course materials, discussions with clients and material available in the public domain. 

The protein sequence database is also a text-numeric database with bibliographic links. It is the largest public domain protein sequence database. The current PIR-PSD release 75.04 (March, 2003) contains more than 280 000 entries of partial or complete protein sequences with information on functionalities of the protein, taxonomy (description of the biological source of the protein), sequence properties, experimental analyses, and bibliographic references. Queries can be started as a text-based search or a sequence similarity search. PIR-PSD contains annotated protein sequences with a superfamily/family classification. 

Note MM-i- is derived from the public domain code developed by Dr. Norm an Allinger, referred to as M.M2( 1977), and distributed by the Quantum Chemistry Program Exchange (QCPE). The code for MM-t is not derived from Dr. Allin ger s present version of code, which IS trademarked MM2 . Specifically. QCMPOlO was used as a starting point Ibr HyperChem MM-t code. The code was extensively modified and extended over several years to include molecular dynamics, switching functuins for cubic stretch terms, periodic boundary conditions, superimposed restraints, a default (additional) parameter scheme, and so on.

The HyperChem MMh- code and program also differ from MM2(1977) by having parameters in text files separate from the code. These parameter files are available for your modification and additions. The parameters distributed with HyperChem include the public domain values, generally referred to as the MM2(1991) parameter set, that Dr. Allinger contributed to HyperCube, Inc. Parameters not obtained from Dr. Allinger are appropriately labeled in the distributed parameter files. 

In order to balance public domain science with a high quality commercial software product it has been necessary for us to reimplement almost every aspect of computational chemistry embodied in HyperChem. All HyperChem source code is written in C or C-t-t, specified, designed, and implemented by Hyper-Chem s developers. We have stood on the scientific shoulders of giants, but we have not used their FORTRAN code Thus, although we have had access to MOPAC and other public domain codes for testing and other purposes, HyperChem computes MINDO, MNDO, and AMI wave functions, for example, with HyperChem code, not MOPAC code. We have made the effort to implement modern chemical science in a modern software-engineered product.

Tools to apply such a more broad view of a process would pay inherently safer dividends. One tool might include instructions on how to estimate the life cycle cost of proposed alternative solutions. Such a tool is not presently fully developed and available in the public domain. Training to assist in estimating life cycle cost is needed. 

Most codes for fault tree analysis in the public domain are available from the Argonne Code Center. EPRI codes are available under special arrangements SETS... 

Dr. Howard Lambert of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and FT A Associates, 3728 Brunell Dr., Oakland CA, 94602, e-mail lambert8 llnl.gov, provided the public domain codes FTAP (fault tree analysis program) and companions. He authored some of the codes, was associated with their development, teaches and consults for PSA.

SLAB is one of the most widely-used dense gas models in the public domain. The model accepts evaporating pool sources, jet releases at any elevation, and instantaneous volume sources. 

There are two types of external documents, those in the public domain and those produced by specific customers. In some cases the issues of both types of documents are stated in the contract and therefore it is important to ensure that you possess the correct version before you commence work. Where the customer specifies the issue status of public domain documents that apply you need a means of preventing their withdrawal from use in the event that they are revised during the term of the contract. Where the issue status of public domain documents is not specified you may either have a free choice as to the issue you use or, as is more likely, you may need to use the latest issue in force. Where this is the case you will need a means of being informed when such documents are revised to ensure that you can obtain the latest version. The ISO 9000 series for instance is reviewed every five years, so could well be revised at five-year intervals. With national and international legislation the situation is rather different as these can change at any time. You need some means of alerting yourself to changes that affect you and there are several methods from which to choose ... 

The document availability requirement applies to both internal and external documents alike. Customer documents such as contracts, drawings, specifications, and standards need to be available to those who need them to execute their responsibilities. Often these documents are only held in paper form and therefore distribution lists will be needed to control their location. If documents in the public domain are required, they only need be available when required for use and need not be available from the moment they are specified in a specification or procedure. You should only have to produce such documents when they are needed for the work being undertaken at the time of the audit. However, you would need to demonstrate that you could obtain timely access when needed. If you provide a lending service to users of copyrighted documents, you would need a register indicating to whom they were loaned so that you can retrieve them when needed by others. 

Failure rate data from public domain sources and derived from field failure-studies. Over 1,500 failure rates. 

Technica has compiled computerized failure rate data from the public domain that can developed into a database. Each database can be customized by adding client plant-specific data and updated easily in its electronic form. CLEF is also software compatible with the IRRAS fault tree package put out by EG4G. Failure rate libraries can be generated and imported from CLEF to the IRRAS program.

Internet finite element resources Lists public domain and shareware programs, a selection of pointers to commercial packages, and other finite element resources. 

The EU will accept applications without supporting pre-clinical and clinical data, if it can be demonstrated that the active substances have been in well-established medical use in the Community for at least 10 years, with recognised efficacy and an acceptable level of safety. This route would be appropriate for many common over-the-counter (OTC) products. Safety and efficacy is supported by providing copies of published scientific literature as part of the submission that is, the submission relies on safety and efficacy data available in the public domain, as opposed to confidential data from authorised applications that is the cornerstone of generic applications.

Much of this is in the public domain, but various additional unpublished information has been supplied by industry. For the purposes of the environmental effects assessment, the focus is on the freshwater environment. 

There are a large number of proprietary process models for the industrially important pol5Tnerizations. Public domain descriptions of these models are seldom complete enough to allow independent evaluation. Given below are a few general references and models published in the referred literature. 

Use of Commercial, Shareware, and Public Domain Searching and Data Mining Tools... 

Whether life sciences informatics software ultimately becomes a commodity, with the commercial rewards for software companies being in packaging, integration, support, and deployment (in a similar way to the Linux community), and what impact the open source movement will have. In bioinformatics and chemoinformatics, open source, free software, and shareware are increasing in quantity, and it is becoming common for smaller software companies at least to release reduced-functionality versions of their software into the public domain at no cost. 

It is essential that, with the use of evidence-based medicine to inform decisions in health care, the processes used in program development be as transparent as possible. Information about the limited evidence and inherent uncertainty should be disclosed and available for scrutiny, even within the software itself. In fact, in an attempt to maximize transparency, some have advocated open source development and publication of interactive software models [49, 50]. Certainly, details of methodologies, sources, and other techniques employed for development of the underlying models must be acknowledged. However, the proprietary nature of many of these programs must be taken into consideration and measures put into place to ensure confidentiality. Requested publication of all NIH-sponsored research online (in PubMed) [51] within a reasonable time frame after journal acceptance will help to ensure that these data are available in the public domain in short order.
