Research Internet resources

Your ability to manage people, stay cool under pressure, remain organized, use Internet resources or software applications (such as Microsoft Office), speak in public, communicate well in writing, communicate in multiple languages, or perform research are all examples of marketable skills. 

Boston University Library. Research Guides Drug Abuse. Boston University Library. Available online. URL htqi //www.bu.edu/library/guides/ drugabuse.html. Updated December 9, 2003. Provides a useful list of subject headings, indexes, databases, statistics, and Internet resources on topics relating to drug abuse. 

Stilt other developments since 1990 are the advent of the internet as a research and resource tool and a decline in academic study and teaching in solid dosage forms. Together, these developments have led to a situation where there is a vast amount of formulation information widely scattered throughout the literature which is unknown and difficult for researchers new to the tableting field to organize and use. Therefore, another objective to this book to integrate a critical, comprehensive summary of this formulation information with the latest developments in this field.

This chapter provides a short introduction to MOEAs, presented from a historical perspective. It also reviews some of the most representative work regarding their use in chemical engineering apphcations. Finally, it provides a short description of some of the main Internet resources currently available for those interested in pursuing research in this area.

Earth Sciences Information Resources-Internet Links, Branner Earth Sciences Library and Map Collections at Stanford University http //library.stanford.edu/depts/branner/research help/index.html (accessed July 12,2010). An excellent meta-collection of Internet resources for the Earth Sciences, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Branner Earth Sciences Library and Map Collection, including links especially of interest to mining engineers, such as professional associations and societies, govermnent agencies of the United States (USGS), the European continent, Asia and the Pacific, Canada, Mexico, and the... 

A principal aim of the IJC is to provide a means for publishing original research on the development and implementation of Internet resources for chemists. This includes developments of databases and tools to access them, proposals for new MIME types, proposals for file standards, new software for handling Internet data, new visualization tools, development and implementation of VRML tools for chemists, etc. The journal does not intend to set standards or become a clearinghouse for standards, rather it aims to provide an avenue for the publication of proposals, protocols, etc. that may proceed to become standards. 

BI = bibliographic database CA = catalogue of chemicals db = database DADB = metadatabase of online databases DACD = metadatabase of CD-ROMs DAIN = metadatabase of internet resources FBDB = fact-based database FT = full-text database INDB = integrated database MD = metadatabase NU = numeric database RD = research database RE = reaction database ST = structural database TBDB = text-based database WWW = World Wide Web. 

In addition to the literature review and interviews, Internet resources were investigated to collect technical information. Information sources included the airport trade associations [American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), Airports Council International (ACI), Airport Consultants Council (ACC), and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)], airport users [Air Transport Association (ATA)], federal agencies (USEPA and USDOT), and California Climate Action Registry (CCAR). Pertinent research from the Transportation Research Board (TRB) was also included in the information gathering. A complete list of references is included on the attached CD-ROM. 

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]. 

It is worth noting that the past few years have witnessed tremendous development of web-based information resources. Notably, the PubMed search tool [4] has made the investigation of any life sciences topic much easier. It offers keyword and author (as well as structure and sequence) searches and covers a wide range of medicinal chemistry-related journals. This resource, coupled with e-journals, affords the medicinal chemist the tools to keep up with any research topics of interest. Because of the public nature of the Web, now a chemist can sometimes find critical journal articles on the Web that do not show up until much later in traditional literature sources. It is not uncommon that scientific meeting presentations can be found on the Web. Indeed, the Internet tools we have all become familiar with also have made the professional life of the medicinal chemist much easier. 

In following the original plan, many figures, structures, discussions of the methods, and illustrations of the data have been incorporated. Some tables have been reorganized. In some cases tables have been printed twice although they contain the same data, they are arranged by different criteria. The intent is to make the data easier for the researcher to access and use. Some Internet addresses that can serve as a supplementary resource are included. Despite the numerous additions, the volume remains compact and accessible. 

A review on using the Internet for pollution prevention was published by Scott Butner (1997) at the Battelle Seattle Research Center. All of these resources can be used to help prepare a brainstorming team for the generation of ideas.
